Chapter 383

Camus is half of Director Aquarius?

The red-haired Director hesitated slightly upon hearing this, still feeling that this answer was a bit outrageous, but out of trust in Leon, she still followed this line of thought.

Indeed, according to the records of the General Bureau's past use of the 【Instruction List】, if the scope is not specifically emphasized, it can indeed only lock onto one target.

So if the two souls separated by Director Aquarius are vastly different from each other, and the separation was completed many years before the 【Instruction List】 took effect, it is indeed possible to escape the effect of the 【Instruction List】.

But the soul is different from flesh and blood; if it's gone, it's gone. If it's slightly damaged, it can self-heal, but this kind of extremely thorough separation is almost impossible to restore.

And she saw with her own eyes that the strongest part of the "Evil Soul" entered the depths of the Dead World. Even if the remaining half of Director Aquarius could still maintain the status of a True God, his own strength would plummet.

According to common sense, his remaining Leon value is estimated to be only in the early 30s, at most not exceeding 40 points. The Leon value of an ordinary Level 1 investigator is about between 30-50 points, so the current Director Aquarius is considered weak even among Level 1 investigators.

As for her own strength, she is among the best among the Directors of the Zodiac Branch. In the case of activating the Star Palace blessing, her own Leon value can even briefly break through 70 points, almost double his.

This gap is so large that it cannot be smoothed out by some small means. What's more, she also has the blessing of the No. 013 【Slaughter Blood Hair】. Where did Aquarius get the confidence to make trouble under her nose?

"Leon, I always feel that something is not quite right."

After thinking for a long time and not figuring out where Director Aquarius's confidence came from, the red-haired Director frowned and said:

"This time he paid the price of most of his soul to muddle through and temporarily avoid the sanctions of the General Bureau. Logically speaking, he should have laid low for a period of time.

But not only did he not hide, but he risked being killed directly by me to come to the Wang Dou to collect dreams in large quantities, and even after meeting you, he didn't cover it up at all, claiming that he must do something within three days. This makes me feel very strange."

After taking a sip of the cold tea, the red-haired Director's fingertips tapped the table subconsciously, and she continued with her brows locked tightly:

"Three days later at night is the time when the Fallen Soul Black Abyss and reality completely overlap. By saying this, it is equivalent to telling us the specific time of action. But with his current situation, he simply cannot be my opponent. Where did he get the confidence to provoke me?

Also, according to my understanding of him, Aquarius is a person with a very strong sense of purpose and almost never does meaningless things.

And whether it is the Wang Dou or our branch, it seems that there is nothing worth him coveting. He can't open the most valuable 【Twelve Ant Nests】, and he can't snatch away my 【Slaughter Blood Hair】. Then what exactly does he want?"

What exactly does Aquarius want...

After hearing the red-haired Director's analysis, Leon's brows also frowned.

If you say that Director Aquarius's greatest obsession is naturally to replace Director Taurus and enter the Watchtower Palace, but this path has basically been blocked.

Those six anomalous objects used to usurp the identity of the "Palace Ascender" are still in his and the rebels' hands, and he simply can't gather them all. As for the target, Director Taurus, she is self-sealing at the headquarters and simply doesn't give him a chance to contact her;

Even if he didn't know what method to use to gather things with similar effects and really mixed into the closed headquarters, he couldn't be the opponent of the three Directors. It is estimated that he would be killed as soon as he broke in.

If he wants to continue to complete that greatest obsession, then he should first find a way to restore his strength, at least reach the level of a small branch Director, in order to... wait! Restore strength?

Vaguely, it seemed that he had grasped a thread that was not very clear. Leon pondered slightly, then reminded with some uncertainty:

"Director, I think we might as well change our direction of thinking. Instead of continuing to consider what Aquarius wants to do in the Wang Dou, we might as well consider what he 'needs' most right now."

What does Aquarius need most?

Hearing Leon's words, the red-haired Director's eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.

That's right, no matter what Director Aquarius ultimately wants, what he needs most right now is to make up for the strength that has fallen to the bottom because of the loss of most of his soul.

Only by raising his strength back to a level similar to Director Taurus can it be possible to replace Director Taurus and ascend to the Watchtower Palace by means of seizing the body.

And speaking of a way to make up for his soul injury and return him to his peak... Fallen Soul Black Abyss! Nightmare King!!!

Relying on Leon's reminder, after figuring out the most critical point, the red-haired Director couldn't help but gasp.

Because the trauma caused by soul defects is unsolvable in most cases, but just as the rules of the Dead World do not recognize the body, the rules of the Dream World also do not recognize the existence of the soul.

The basis of the existence of the Dream World is memory and fantasy, so as long as a person's memory is complete and their thinking ability is normal, then even if Director Aquarius's soul is fragmented, the Dream World will also recognize him as a "complete" person.

And if the Nightmare King successfully descends and is willing to help, it can completely allow part of the dream and reality to be permanently swapped!

At that time, it only needs to create a "complete" Director Aquarius in the Dream World, then let the real Director Aquarius fall into a deep sleep, and have the Nightmare King make a move to permanently swap the two.

Then Director Aquarius, whose soul is defective, will become a fake "nightmare" under the influence of the Dream World rules, and the complete Director Aquarius in the dream will wake up in the true reality!

As for the Nightmare King, why would it make a move to help Director Aquarius... That document that claims to come from the Watchtower Palace and records the locations of thirty-five strongholds of the Nightmare-Worshipping Black Sect to prevent the descent of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss and the Nightmare King was personally sent by Director Aquarius!

It's too late...

After taking a deep breath, the red-haired Director leaned back in her chair, lowered her head slightly, and sighed:

"No wonder Aquarius wasn't afraid that I knew he was still alive. From the time Emma and the others left until now, it's been almost two days. It's too late to discover it now..."

What's too late?

Hearing the red-haired Director's sigh, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, then hurriedly opened his mouth to ask what had happened.

And the red-haired Director reached out and rubbed her brows, saying concisely:

"If I'm not mistaken, Director Aquarius should be cooperating with the Nightmare King. Most of the document he sent before has problems. The locations of the strongholds marked on it are probably not correct. The descent of the Nightmare King is probably already inevitable."
