Chapter 590: Brother-Sister Night Talk and Finally Arrived

"Brother?"

After walking out from the inner room with a clean small cloth bag, finding that the doll-faced girl was gone, and only Leon was still standing by the door, Anna couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Where is Miss Amy?"

"I don't have much time to stay at home, and there are still some things to ask you, so I asked her to go home first."

After turning his head to look out the window and finding that the strong old man was about to climb in, Leon prepared to make a long story short, grabbed his sister's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Anna, you tell me..."

"When did you and Veronica sister happen?"

"Ah?"

Looking at Leon, whose eyes were somewhat confused, Anna, who asked the question first, bit her lower lip lightly, then said somewhat resentfully:

"That is... how did you meet? How did you decide to get married? Why didn't you tell me at all?"

"..."

"This... can I say that I am still confused?"

After hesitating slightly, Leon explained:

"Anna, you should know that there are actually many things in this world that don't belong to the 'normal range.' Like your photo, it has all kinds of incredible abilities.

And Miss Veronica, she was affected by something similar, making people in the entire kingdom lose their memory of her, which also includes you and me."

What? Everyone forgot her?!

Just after hearing about the photo, Anna couldn't help but feel tight in her heart, subconsciously clutching her skirt, but after hearing about the Princess's encounter, she couldn't help but say with surprise and sympathy:

"Then... doesn't she have anything left? Not only lost her identity, but even friends, family... lover... all of these are gone?"

"Yes."

After getting an affirmative answer from Leon's mouth, Anna fell into silence.

This kind of situation of suddenly losing everything, if it were herself, she would probably collapse directly. And Princess Veronica not only didn't show any painful expression, but even chatted and laughed with herself yesterday.

Except for the eye circles being slightly heavy, it could be seen that she didn't sleep very well at night, there was almost no abnormality on the surface, it was really...

"She is so strong..."

"Yes, she is indeed a very 'powerful' person."

Understanding what his sister was sighing about, Leon nodded in agreement after looking at the Princess's soul.

In the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul vision, everyone's soul has its own "base color." This doesn't refer to true colors like red, orange, yellow, green, but a feeling closer to the essence.

Anna's base color is longing and warmth, the policewoman Isha's base color is pity and responsibility, and Princess Veronica's soul's base color is unparalleled extreme resilience, her belief is hard to the point of being almost terrifying, as if she was born not knowing what despair is.

And this belief is not the kind of confidence that she thinks she will definitely succeed, but the kind of awareness that even if she knows the opportunity is slim, she will still move forward without hesitation, and will not stop until both legs are worn flat, with no other end point except death.

Hmm... in a sense, her younger brother's soul is actually this feeling. The two royal members I have contacted, the "hardness" of their souls are very astonishing.

It's just that, if Princess Veronica's base color is called belief, then her younger brother's base color can only be called arrogance. Even after receiving the mixed-gender beating from me and Senior Emma, and several teeth were slapped out, that guy still looked down on me from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe this is the inheritance of the royal family!

After shaking his head slightly and no longer thinking about the freckled Prince's strange soul, Leon looked at his sister, who was admiring and somewhat envious, and asked earnestly:

"Anna, can you tell me what you thought in your heart after meeting Miss Veronica yesterday?"

Ah? What was I thinking?

Being asked by Leon's words, Anna was slightly stunned, hesitated for a while, and answered:

"That is... very envious of her?"

"Just envious?"

"And a bit... want to become a person like her..."

After subconsciously aiming at the papaya in the kitchen, Anna said somewhat enviously:

"My body is not good, but Veronica sister is very healthy and very energetic; I am a bit too thin and small, and her... body shape is especially good; and her personality is also.

Contrary to me who is not very good at speaking, she is very talkative, has an open personality, and has a charm that makes people believe in her unconsciously... and her personality is very similar to Mom's in my memory."

After recalling the past, Anna's eyes were full of warmth:

"Actually, since I was a child, I wanted to become a person like her and Mom, but I really couldn't do it,"

"..."

So... Princess Veronica is Anna's "ideal type," and the envy she produced after contacting her, and the thought of wanting to become her, caused 【Warm Home】 to be repaired and became 【If】 that could replace others?

It feels... it can be considered reasonable, but the degree seems somewhat wrong.

Being able to make the ability of an anomalous object change, this "if I were her, it would be great" thought must be quite strong. If it were just simple envy, would Anna produce such a strong thought?

After frowning and pondering for a while, worried that if he returned the photo to Anna, it would really make her replace the Princess, Leon didn't take out the photo, but grabbed his sister's shoulder and said seriously:

"Anything else? Is that really all? You think about it carefully! Is there anything else?"

Other things...

Hearing this, the sickly girl bit her lower lip, a figure of a crying man flashed in her mind, then she looked at Leon with a complex expression.

If I obtained the family photo, and it was taken by that man, everything would be restored, you, William, Meilani would all find the life you originally had, and I would no longer be your family.

If such a thing really happened, I would return to being alone again, and your family would only have Veronica sister. I am really so envious of her...

But precisely because I used that photo six years ago, I deprived you of the life you originally had, I... do I have the qualification to stop that man and not let him change everything back to the original track?

I don't...

After her lips opened and closed lightly, Anna, whose expression was somewhat dim, shook her head and sobbed softly:

"I don't..."

"You do! Anna! You must be hiding something from me!"

Even without using soul vision, Leon saw the hesitation in his sister's heart.

If it were other things, it would be fine, everyone has their own secrets, but the content Anna doesn't want to say mostly concerns the anomalous object created by the Aquarius Director, that absolutely cannot be half-ambiguous!

"Although I don't know why you want to hide it from me, it has something to do with that photo, right?"

After mobilizing the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant and throwing the strong old man who had climbed in out, Leon grabbed his sister's shoulder, stared into her eyes, and said incomparably earnestly:

"Anna! Listen to me!

Whether it's wanting to escape the mistakes of the past, or feeling that hiding it from me might be better for me, or some other reason, absolutely don't do this!"

After pausing slightly, looking at his sister who didn't deny it, Leon continued to emphasize while thinking: "I am your brother. If you made any mistake, just tell me directly! I will do my best to help you make up for it together!

If it's for my own good, then there's even less need to hide it from me! My affairs should be decided by myself. You can try to persuade me, but you are not allowed to make choices for me!"

"I... I just..."

"Don't say anything else. You can only choose to tell me now, or choose to continue hiding it from me."

After secretly touching the sheep's horn of the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang and checking Anna's soul state, Leon's expression softened slightly, and he said warmly:

"The choice is yours to make, I can't choose for you. However, I still hope you can tell me the situation.

Anna, you have to be prepared, if you continue to hide it from me, I will definitely be very angry, very, very angry!

But you can rest assured, because I am your brother, so no matter how angry I am, I will definitely forgive you sooner or later! You can start choosing now!"

However, although the choice is yours, if I've already said this, if you still choose to hide it from me, then I'll go find the Director in a while and try to borrow an anomalous object that can read minds!

"I..."

Not knowing Leon's despicable plan, looking at Leon who still chose to trust her at this time and returned the choice to her, Anna couldn't help but redden her eye circles and sobbed softly:

"I choose to tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

"What? The Aquarius Director has already been to Wang Dou? And even went to your house?"

After listening to the news selectively relayed by Leon, even the red-haired Director, who was always calm, was startled by this news.

"Yes, and the time is very close, the night before the investigators from the Bureau came down."

After finishing Anna's encounter and the conversation between her and the Aquarius Director, Leon gritted his teeth with lingering fear:

"Director, this person is really too dangerous, and he is likely planning something extremely dangerous. Can the internal questioning of him not be advanced any further?"

"Can't."

The red-haired Director shook her head helplessly:

"The year-end audit six

"Hmm... if you are worried about the safety of your family, you can let your younger brothers and sisters stop attending school for these few days and stay at the Bureau temporarily. I will protect them, and they can go back after the year-end review."

"I was thinking the same thing... Thank you, Director!"

After sincerely thanking the red-haired Director, Leon let out a long sigh of relief as he felt the pressure on him finally ease, then took out the photo and handed it over.

"Director, although I don't know why Aquarius wants it, what he wants to do is exactly what we should prevent. It's better to keep this thing with you; I'm worried I won't be able to protect it."

That photo that can replace an identity?

After looking at the appearance of Princess Veronika in the photo, the red-haired Director pondered for a moment, then did not take the photo. Instead, she took a dirty little mirror out of her drawer and waved it toward the photo.

Watching the photo flicker slightly and then turn directly from one into two, Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

This is? A duplication-type anomalous object? Could it be that the Director wants to...

"This thing is called 【Double Replication】, one of the anomalous objects I hold privately. It is also a numbered anomalous object, with a real strength of around number thirty.

As for its ability, just like the name, it can replicate any object into a completely identical copy, including anomalous objects, but there will be a certain attenuation in ability, and only one copy can exist at a time.

In addition, as long as the copy has not been destroyed, it will continuously consume my power. The longer it is maintained, the greater the power consumed. It is a troublesome anomalous object with many limitations... but the effect is still very useful, especially when used for fishing."

After pushing one of the photos over and watching Leon, in whose eyes a flash of realization passed as if he understood something, the red-haired Director couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and say with a smile:

"It seems you have already guessed. I haven't reported 【Double Replication】 to the Bureau, and Aquarius shouldn't be aware of it. It's perfect for trying to set a trap for him.

And to prevent him from having any ability to perceive the location of anomalous objects and stealing the item using some strange anomalous objects, I will only keep the fake photo here as insurance, while the real photo will be placed in the small mirror you carry with you.

As for the safety issue, you don't need to worry. For creatures not from the Mirror World, everything in the mirror is just an illusory reflection, without even an actual physical form. If you don't take it out, he will definitely never discover it."

Good fellow, being able to fish and have double insurance—the sober Director is truly reliable!

"Okay!"

After looking at the red-haired Director with some admiration, Leon was just about to put the photo away when he saw the red-haired Director take out a small box, place it next to the real photo, and push it over as well.

"This is?"

"The heart of that sheep... hmm... it's called 【Heart of Wild Ambition】, right?"

Looking at Leon, whose eyes suddenly lit up with joy, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"Although the evaluation given was shockingly low, you did indeed pass the Bureau's investigation. Just about the time you and Auntie Ai Ma slapped Prince Qiaoshuya, the General Bureau sent someone to deliver it."

"Uh..."

"You were the one who led the beating, right?"

Looking at Leon, whose expression was somewhat awkward, the red-haired Director withdrew the smile on her face, narrowed her eyes, and said:

"Although Auntie Ai Ma said she did it and you were just standing up for her, I shouldn't need to tell you what the truth is, right? Do you know how long the complaint letter that stupid prince sent to the General Bureau through the King was!"

"..."

"He complained that our Bureau was derelict in its duties, violated the agreement between the Cleanup Bureau and the Kingdom, ignored the safety of royal family members, was ineffective in arresting illegal anomalous object holders, wantonly beat the heir to the throne, and that the cleanup mission affected innocents, causing a great noble family to be almost wiped out... He wrote thirty-something items in total!

Really... fortunately, you hit him today, and the complaint letter was delivered before the year-end review. Otherwise, based on the intensity of his complaint this time, I'm afraid we would still be at the bottom next year!"

"..."

After complaining a few times in a nagging manner, the red-haired Director habitually took the wine bottle, wanting to take a sip to relieve the sorrow in her heart, but after thinking about it, she put it back, turned to pick up a cup of hot tea, and said to Leon, who looked embarrassed, with a smile:

"Little Leon~ You've caused me so much trouble today, shouldn't you take on a slightly more difficult mission to properly compensate me?"

"..."

Looking at the red-haired Director's narrowed fox eyes, Leon instinctively felt that something big was going wrong, but since he had just been caught in the act, he had to resign himself to his fate and nod.

"Okay..."

"That's good!"

After reaching out and pointing at the photo on the table, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"After I use the review to lure Aquarius away and confirm there will be no danger, how about you use it to go undercover among the rebels?"
