Chapter 385

385 It's all Aquarius's fault!

My Nima?!

After hearing Director Taurus's opening remarks, Leon and the others, who were holding a belly full of bad news and were just about to ask for help, couldn't help but have their brains go blank at the same time.

Your Excellency Taurus! I have a piece of bad news to tell you!

What a coincidence, isn't it? I have an even worse piece of news here!

"What's going on?!!!"

The words for help were directly blocked back into their stomachs, and the red-haired Director hurriedly asked:

"The Watchtower Palace has been operating normally for so many years and has never had any problems? Why would it... wait! Could it be Director Aquarius? He actually has the ability to do something to the Watchtower Palace?"

"Director Aquarius? Isn't he dead?"

"He... forget it, we'll talk about his matter later!"

Hearing that the strongest trump card of the Bureau of Investigation had a problem, the red-haired Director couldn't help but say with worry:

"Your Excellency Taurus! What exactly is the problem with the Watchtower Palace?"

"The Watchtower Palace... it seems to have been affected by something."

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Director Taurus explained with her brows locked tightly:

"You know, the Palace Ascender who ascends the Watchtower Palace can consult all the past and observe some possible futures in advance.

Once the Palace Ascender discovers that the future is abnormal and there is an existence that can endanger the Bureau of Investigation or even affect all of humanity, she will issue a warning to us in advance and give some vague information in advance, so that we can nip the danger in the bud before it happens as much as possible."

"How? Could it be that this ability has failed?"

"Overall failure hasn't happened yet, but a part of it has indeed had problems."

After taking a stack of moon-white small slips of paper from her arms and shaking them at the Celestial Sphere Mirror, Director Taurus said with a face full of confusion:

"At the beginning of every year, the Watchtower Palace will pass down many slips of paper at once, telling us some things that need the most attention this year... for example, be careful of the prehistoric humans waking up in the polar regions, pay attention to the degree to which the moon is hollowed out by the Moon People, and so on.

And this year, the Watchtower Palace also passed down quite a few slips of paper, most of which are all normal, but one of them has a problem. Many key pieces of information are directly missing and simply cannot be read... Look, it's this one!"

After hearing Director Taurus's words, the red-haired Director, whose expression was tense, immediately looked at the slip of paper held up to the mirror.

'A soul named... from an unknown world, after three years of dormancy, has already joined..., has gained a foothold at..., and after contacting the... of the Bureau of Investigation, suddenly has a strange ability to shield my observation.

According to part of the future I once saw, he will become..., launch... against the entire Bureau of Investigation, and move to destroy..., completely breaking..., must be dealt with in advance!'

"Seems to be a strong soul with ulterior motives?"

After reading the slip of paper with seven or eight vacancies and almost no key intelligence, the red-haired Director's brows couldn't help but frown tightly.

"According to the description, he seems to have a conflict with the Bureau of Investigation in the future and has already contacted the people in the Bureau, and it is very likely that he has already colluded with some people in the Bureau... Leon, what do you think?"

"..."

What do I think... I think it's talking about me!

Staring at the content on the slip of paper over and over again, and scanning back and forth over keywords like "unknown world" and "three years," Leon's scalp couldn't help but feel numb.

After contacting the... of the Bureau of Investigation, he suddenly had a strange ability to shield my observation. If he wasn't mistaken, the "..." should be written as Director Taurus.

After all, it was after contacting her that he learned of the existence of the Watchtower Palace, and 【Materialism】 was activated because of the intelligence he obtained, shielding the influence from the Watchtower Palace. Everything matched up.

"I am very shocked..."

After answering the red-haired Director's question honestly, Leon, whose cheeks were twitching slightly, pointed to the "after contacting..." part on the slip of paper and said with a bit of a guilty conscience:

"You say, is it possible that the person who colluded with him is Director Aquarius?"

"Huh? Why do you think so?"

"Uh... I guessed it."

Facing the suspicious gazes of the two Directors, Leon bit the bullet and spouted nonsense:

"Think about it, Director Aquarius is a genius of the anomalous creation secret technique. He has always been thinking about studying the Watchtower Palace and has been preparing for so many years in order to be able to ascend to the Watchtower Palace.

With his talent, after so many years of research, maybe he really figured out some method to shield the observation of the Watchtower Palace. And after contacting that soul from an unknown world, he handed this method to that soul.

Um... I'm not saying that this matter must have been done by Director Aquarius, but if we infer it according to common sense, his suspicion is indeed very high, right?"

"Indeed."

After hearing Leon's bold assumption, Director Sagittarius, who had not spoken at the other end of the Celestial Sphere Mirror, nodded.

After expressing his approval of Leon's guess, this middle-aged man with a square, national-character face and a straight and simple temperament frowned his two thick eyebrows and said:

"If you have to say who in the Bureau has the ability to shield the observation of the Watchtower Palace, then besides Director Aquarius, I really can't think of anyone else. This matter is probably inseparable from him... By the way, you said before that Director Aquarius is still alive?"

"Yes! Director Aquarius is not dead!"

Hearing Director Sagittarius's inquiry, the red-haired Director nodded and said with a heavy expression:

"Many years ago, he had already cut his soul, and it was more thorough than Your Excellency Pisces's cutting. Except for the shared memory and the same goal, they are almost two people.

And the one sent into the Dead World by the 【Instruction List】 and 【Dead World Street Lamp】 before was only half of Director Aquarius's soul. He hid the remaining half of his soul and is colluding with the Nightmare King, helping it descend, in order to use the power of the Dream World to complete his defective soul."

Nightmare King?

Hearing the red-haired Director's words, Director Taurus's expression moved, then she searched through the slips of paper in her hand and handed one over.

"Olivia, are you talking about this?"

'The Fallen Soul Black Abyss is about to overlap with reality. The Nightmare King has a relatively small possibility of descending because of this. It is necessary to expel the believers of the Nightmare-Worshipping Black Sect in advance and destroy the descent ritual that points the way for the Nightmare King, to ensure...'

"That's it!"

After reading the content on the slip of paper roughly, the red-haired Director couldn't help but take a deep breath, then clenched her fists and said helplessly:

"Although I received the news, that document was sent by Director Aquarius. The stronghold locations and times marked on it have probably all been changed by him.

Your Excellency Taurus, the descent of the Nightmare King is already inevitable. Can you or Your Excellency Sagittarius move over with the help of the Star Palace and help me block the Nightmare King together?"

"I'm afraid I can't..."

Director Taurus hesitated slightly, then shook her head helplessly:

"The Nightmare King's authority is nightmares. After invading reality, it can easily pollute human souls. And my soul has been nurtured for almost ten years before entering the final stage of Palace Ascension. If it is polluted, the ten years of effort will have to be repeated.

Although it doesn't matter if I repeat it for another ten years, I'll just endure it and get through it, but I'm a bit worried about the situation of the Watchtower Palace. I want to go up and take a look in advance. I have already started ascending the palace in advance recently and cannot be exposed to the Nightmare King..."

After pulling her collar open a little and showing Leon and the others the scorching white soul that had begun to overflow from her body, Director Taurus looked at the middle-aged man with the national-character face beside her and said with a hint of apology:

"Your Excellency Andrew, can I ask you to go there for me?"
