Chapter 226

【Through... materialist... Due to initially understanding the rules of the "Scales of Truth," your resistance to this anomalous object has increased, and you are now able to shield yourself from average-level influences.】

Accompanied by the prompt from the badge system in his ear, Leon felt his whole body shake, as if he had instantly lost control of himself, producing an unimaginable desire to confide.

"I touched... that God-tier Brain-Eating Demon's... butt..."

As Leon's words fell, the first weight finally appeared in the tray tilted high on the right side of the 【Scales of Truth】. However, this weight, only the size of a grain of rice, suddenly pressed the tray down by a small amount.

Strange, a weight could appear for something that doesn't even count as a secret, and its value was even acknowledged by the Scales of Truth?

Looking at that weight that shouldn't have appeared, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but frown, feeling once again that strange sense of crisis that his plan was deviating and things were slowly slipping out of his control.

There are too many strange things about this Leon. How about... asking someone else?

Just as the Aquarius Director was calculating whether to kill Leon, he saw a weight the size of a red date smash down, instantly leveling the tilted Scales of Truth.

"By relying on the Demon Badge... I directly... obtained control of the God-tier Brain-Eating Demon."

Badge? What kind of thing is that?

Looking at a weight whose weight caught up to four of his own secrets just for a vague name, the Aquarius Director, who had been hesitating about whether to change people, couldn't help but have his eyes flare bright instantly.

"What kind of anomalous object is the Demon Badge? What is its effect?"

"The Demon Badge... is not an anomalous object... the effect is... directly controlling all Demon anomalous objects with fallen attributes..."

It's not an anomalous object itself, but can directly control all Demon anomalous objects? There's actually such an unreasonable thing!

After hearing the specific effect of the Demon Badge, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but gasp. Just as he wanted to continue asking, he discovered that the Scales of Truth had completely shifted; the tray belonging to his side had been lifted high by a weight the size of a duck egg.

"..."

Trouble... If I continue asking, I'm afraid I'll have to reveal some incredible secrets myself. Is this worth it?

However, the Aquarius Director's hesitation lasted only for an instant.

In front of something that could allow a Level 3 cleaner to forcibly control a True God-tier anomalous object, taking a slight risk was still worth it. Besides, it didn't matter if he leaked secrets temporarily; as long as he killed him immediately after completing the transaction, a dead person would honestly keep secrets for him no matter how much they knew!

"What I'm about to say next is the path that can allow anyone who meets the conditions to directly ascend to the Watchtower Palace... In order to completely replace the Taurus Director, I created six sets of anomalous objects with extremely high status that can cooperate with each other."

Accompanied by the Aquarius Director's expressionless narration, the left side of the Scales of Truth began to constantly add weights.

"The effects of those six anomalous objects are, respectively: occupying the body, simulating the soul, replicating personality, imitating emotions, replacing the past, and deducing the future."

"Because body, soul, personality, emotions, past, and future... these six aspects are enough to cover everything about a person."

"If I use the Taurus Director's body; have the same soul, emotions, and personality as her; and even have a past and future exactly the same as hers, then even someone as powerful as the Watchtower Palace must acknowledge that I am the Taurus Director."

"Click."

A weight the size of an egg fell, and the right side of the Scales of Truth finally tilted high. The Aquarius Director, fearing it wasn't enough, continued to add weights:

"The entire Rebel Faction appeared to achieve this goal. The anomalous object for seizing the body is in the hands of Luke of the Rebel Faction; the anomalous object for replicating the soul is that Rebel Faction member named Barton whom you killed; the anomalous object for deducing the future is Nathan's Gate to the Other World;"

"As for the anomalous object for imitating emotions, it is on that Oliver whose face is forever changing between joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. And the birth of personality stems from a person's past memories and experiences. As long as Phoebe completely clears my memories and Lucy implants Taurus's memories, I can basically simulate the Taurus Director's personality."

"Among these six anomalous objects, only the anomalous object that can replace the past and forcibly modify reality is a bit troublesome. I tried more than ten times before and didn't succeed, but I recently found it, and it is that photo of your sister..."

After speaking out a pile of secrets at an extremely fast speed, looking at the left tray that had been pressed to the limit, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, then looked toward Leon opposite, his eyes full of enthusiasm:

"It's your turn. First question: how exactly did you... that Demon Badge of yours..."

"Aside from the badge, I have other valuable secrets!"

Before the Aquarius Director could finish his question, Leon, who had initially figured out the rules of the 【Scales of Truth】, directly mimicked the Aquarius Director's previous speech, his eyes flickering as he spoke first:

"What I'm about to say next is a social science theory that, excluding the influence of anomalous objects, is enough to change the world. It is a guiding ideology sufficient to establish a new political system outside of old political systems like kingdoms and federations, as well as a quite complete corresponding theoretical system."

"If we start from historical materialism, the development of society is determined by the economic base. Changes in economic forms will inevitably trigger social changes, and social progress and change are realized through the struggles between classes..."

"???"

What exactly are you talking about?????

Listening to the strange knowledge where he could roughly understand every word, but couldn't understand a single sentence when put together, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but be stunned.

However, what made him even more confused was that as Leon continued to speak, a crimson weight larger than a watermelon appeared in the tray on the right side of the Scales of Truth, not only pressing the Scales of Truth to shift positions again, but even beginning to creak uncontrollably!

So... everything he said is actually true?! With just these few sentences, there is really the ability to change the world?!!!

At this moment, on the Scales of Truth, one side held the methods and paths to ascend to the Watchtower Palace, while the other side pressed down with knowledge said to be able to change the world. Under the heavy pressure of two "world-class" secrets, the Scales of Truth began to tremble wildly, seemingly likely to explode at any moment.

Completely not expecting that Leon actually carried secrets of this level in his belly, facing this unprecedentedly bizarre situation and feeling the power being drained from his body like a flood, the Aquarius Director, who had always appeared to have everything under control, finally showed a look of shock for the first time, his lips trembling as he roared:

"Damn it! You... shut up! This isn't what I wanted! Shut up, damn you!"

Not shutting up! Not even if I die!

Looking at the Aquarius Director opposite, who was being drained until he couldn't even stand steadily, Leon, who had finally found a chance to turn the tables, couldn't help but be overjoyed and continued to rack his brains to recite.

And aside from bearing the terrifying consumption of the 【Scales of Truth】 measuring the value of two world-class secrets, in order to achieve a balance in value, no matter how unwilling the Aquarius Director was, he could only spill out the most valuable secrets on him one by one.

"The list of numbered anomalous objects of the Bureau of Cleanup..."

"The whereabouts of the Ophiuchus Branch Director after the Ophiuchus Devouring the Nation incident..."

"The introductory method of the Aquarius lineage's anomalous creation secret art..."

"The location and control method of the God of Enlightenment..."

"The principle and practice process of the God-Covering Forking Finger..."

As one of the twelve directors of the Bureau of Cleanup, the Aquarius Director had likely served for nearly a hundred years, so the secrets he held were naturally not few. Although they were a bit lacking in quality, they were truly large and satisfying in quantity.

And with the rapid twitching of his lips, one heavyweight weight after another constantly appeared on the left tray. Leon, whose familiarity with Marxism could only be considered half-baked, couldn't help but feel that desire to confide again, so he had to continue to roll along and constantly increase his efforts.

"The theory of surplus value believes that exploitation in capitalist society is due to the surplus value created by laborers..."

"The royal family of the Kroke Kingdom has been placed under house arrest by intelligent machines. What is currently presiding over the Kroke Kingdom is only..."

"The development of society is constantly moving forward. Social and political change is to resolve the internal contradictions and inequalities in society..."

"The members of the Gemini Branch have been completely controlled. Only one person escaped. Currently..."

"..."

Accompanied by the constant adding of weights by both sides through gritted teeth, Leon and the Aquarius Director at this time already didn't know what the other was talking about. They could only follow the desire to confide that constantly changed in strength in their hearts, their two almost worn-thin lips constantly opening and closing, their temple veins bulging as they outputted crazily.

And with the constant adding of weights on both sides, compared to Leon who only needed to reveal secrets, the Aquarius Director, who also had to bear the consumption of the 【Scales of Truth】, paid a much larger price. Even though there were still many secrets left untold, he had already been drained until he couldn't stand steadily and sat down on the ground with a thud.

But just as Leon was overjoyed and prepared to press his advantage to knock the Aquarius Director down in one go, a fatal situation suddenly occurred... he had run out of goods in his belly.

Damn it! The exam syllabus only covers the first five chapters, I haven't memorized the rest yet!!!

"The Fallen Soul Black Abyss summoned by the Baiyan Black Sect is about to briefly overlap with the Kingdom. At that time, everyone will..."

"..."

"Aside from Nathan, I also arranged other follow-up moves to attack the Virgo Branch..."

"..."

"?"

Having spoken two secrets but hearing no response, the Aquarius Director, who was about to become numb, finally noticed Leon's stuttering. Seeing that he seemed to have no follow-up, the Aquarius Director, who had been drained until he was gaunt by the Scales of Truth, couldn't help but be greatly encouraged. He hurriedly crawled up staggeringly and looked at Leon with a ferocious face.

This damn dog thing!

Choosing him to ask questions was originally intended to save some consumption, but it turned out that this Level 3 cleaner actually hid secrets of this level in his belly, almost draining himself to death!

And what's most damnably is that he couldn't understand the things he was talking about at all! If he had known this would be the result, he might as well have forcibly accelerated Olivia and fought her while asking!

Carrying eyes full of regret and anger, the Aquarius Director, whose facial features were twisted with rage, didn't take out any anomalous objects, but stretched out two withered palms and lunged directly at Leon with his bare hands, looking as if he were prepared to strangle him to death!

And at this extremely critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck Leon's brain. He ducked to dodge the Aquarius Director's staggering lunge, then used the loudest volume of his life to add weights again:

"What I'm about to say next is the arrangement order of the basic elements that make up the material world, according to atomic number, chemical properties, and periodic laws!"

"Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron; Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon; Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus; Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium..."

"???"

What the hell is this again?!!!

Under the critical hit of the Periodic Table of Elements, after feeling the surging suction force again, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but look back suddenly, then discovered in terror that a weight of shocking volume had appeared on the tray on the right side of the Scales of Truth again.

Even though this weight looked a bit floaty, had varying degrees of defects on the top and bottom, and didn't seem to match up in some places, looking at the volume that was a circle larger than a rice cooker, it actually counted as a "world-class" secret too!

Aside from the previous one, he could actually take out another secret of the same level? What the hell is this kid?!!!

Looking at this second world-class weight, the Aquarius Director was completely dumbfounded. He looked back at Leon, who was still reciting, and roared in disbelief:

"How the hell did you..."

Before the Aquarius Director's drink of fear and anger could finish roaring, the Scales of Truth, which was pressed by the equivalent of four "world-class" secrets, let out an unbearable cracking sound, then exploded with a bang, and a large number of weights carrying precious secrets scattered across the sky!

"Wah!"

In the instant the Scales of Truth was crushed to death, the Aquarius Director seemed to suffer unimaginable heavy damage, not only spraying out a large mouthful of black blood, but even spitting out a small amount of visceral fragments.

And with the injury of the user, the 【Time Gap】 used to accelerate the two could no longer be maintained. Accompanied by a strange feeling like gears engaging, the world around them, which had been shockingly slow, began to gradually speed up.

Not good!

Noticing the changes around him and the gazes of the Bureau of Cleanup members gradually looking over, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but shake violently. Covered in blood, he lunged suddenly and pounced toward the nearest "world-class" weight.

Although he couldn't understand it, since it could crush the Scales of Truth to death, the things this damn guy said must be valuable!

Leon, who had reacted, followed up to chase, attempting to keep him before the 【Time Gap】 stopped, but unfortunately, his anomalous objects were suppressed to death by the asteroid, making it impossible to activate them, and the difference in physical fitness was truly too great.

Therefore, after entangling for less than a few seconds, Leon was kicked away by the Aquarius Director, who was spitting blood, and fell onto the other weights.

"The anomalous creation secret art is by..."

"The development of society is constantly..."

"The foundation of the God-Covering Forking Finger..."

In the instant he was touched by Leon, these three weights instantly disappeared, turning into a large amount of knowledge poured into his mind.

On the other side, the Aquarius Director, although he touched the weight carrying the Periodic Table of Elements, couldn't understand it no matter what. He could only hold this incomparably precious world-class secret and stagger toward the Bureau of Cleanup's Director... or rather, Nathan, who was unconscious behind him.

"Open the door!!!"

Accompanied by a drink full of blood foam, the middle-aged Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who was still in a coma, inexplicably raised his hand, and an invisible door suddenly opened wide before him!

Finally... finally...

Looking at the secret base belonging to himself outside the door, the Aquarius Director, who had clearly made full preparations but had overturned his car all the way, almost had tears coming down.

However, just as he threw the middle-aged Watching Watching Qiaoshuya in and prepared to turn his head to say a few harsh words, he saw Leon swing the watermelon-sized crimson weight and smash it onto the back of his head with a bang.

This is the power of the first five chapters of Marxism!

After a critical hit from Marxism smashed the heavily injured Aquarius Director, Leon, worried about being dragged into the door by the Aquarius Director, didn't dare to continue to be arrogant, but turned his head and ran without hesitation.

As for the Aquarius Director, who had also reacted, he lunged empty-handed dangerously and narrowly, failing to successfully drag Leon, only tearing off a corner of his clothes.

Tsk... slippery kid!

Looking at the 【Time Gap】 that was already on the verge of being lifted, the Aquarius Director didn't dare to chase anymore. He could only look at Leon with resentment, then turned and retreated into the Gate to the Other World, hurriedly evacuating the Bureau of Cleanup's headquarters.

And what the Aquarius Director didn't notice was that the smash Leon gave him on the back of his head just now didn't seem to be purely for venting anger. A beautiful long red hair had already taken advantage of this excellent opportunity and was secretly thrown into his collar...
