Chapter 630: Traditional Face-Slapping

"Not rebellion, the body of the Gemini Branch Director contains the brain of Director Aquarius."

Without letting Leon answer this question directly, the red-haired Director, who had already inquired with him in advance and knew the reason roughly, replied:

"In order to prevent being read by the God-level brain-eating demon, Aquarius replicated his brain, and then matched it with the original flesh and emotions, as well as a small half of the soul that was cut off, to make a fake body that was true to life.

The brain in the fake body is usually semi-closed. The real brain of Aquarius hidden in the Gemini Director's body uses soul fragments to control both bodies at the same time. Only before and after accepting memory reading will the brain in the fake body be temporarily unsealed.

As for just now, it was him activating 【Time Gap】 to accelerate his own time, taking back the soul fragments, and then with the help of an anomalous object called 【Gate of the Other World】..."

"So that's how it is..."

After listening to the explanation given by the red-haired Director and understanding why Director Aquarius was sure to hide it from memory reading, the Cleanup Bureau Director couldn't help but frown:

"Even the brain can be changed... Has the medical level of the Kewangguo Kingdom developed to this extent?"

"This is not clear."

The red-haired Director shook her head:

"The Kewangguo Kingdom is quite closed. Except for purchasing minerals and energy, there is not much communication with the outside world. Only people from the Gemini Branch know the situation there."

Gemini Branch... The Director of the Gemini Branch is Director Aquarius. Even if not, he should have been controlled by Director Aquarius. The entire Gemini Branch is now untrustworthy.

Shaking his head slightly, the Cleanup Bureau Director wanted to ask again, but saw a thin and tall man stand up and ask meaningfully:

"Olivia, the person accelerated by 【Time Gap】 is not you, right? Why does the situation need to be relayed by you, and not let that third-level cleanup agent say it himself?"

"Is there a problem?"

Narrowing her beautiful fox eyes and glancing at the man who asked, the red-haired Director said unkindly:

"Edward! If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, no need to beat around the bush!"

"I don't mean anything, just curious."

The thin and tall man raised his eyebrows:

"Everyone saw it just now. The people accelerated by 【Time Gap】 are not just Aquarius, but also this third-level cleanup agent of your bureau, and they seem to have been alone for a long time.

So can you please explain how this third-level accident cleanup agent who just joined the Cleanup Bureau not long ago persisted under Director Aquarius for so long without being killed?"

"The means for Leon to save his life were given by me. As for the specific situation, you don't need to worry about it."

Probably knowing that this kind of situation would happen, the red-haired Director directly topped it back without hesitation.

"In addition, the person who first discovered that Aquarius had a problem was Leon, and just now when the inquiry was in a stalemate, it was also him who brought key evidence and forced Aquarius to accept memory reading.

If you suspect that he colluded with Aquarius, then I suggest you open your own brain first to see if it has rotted!"

After the red-haired Director finished speaking, Beverly of the Leo Branch also stood out, staring and saying:

"Edward! Just take care of your own business! Stop jumping out to disgust people at this time!"

"Am I just raising reasonable doubts? No need to react so fiercely, right?"

The man named Edward didn't get angry after losing face, waved his hand to indicate that he had no malice, and then snapped his fingers with a smile.

When the snapping sound landed, Leon only felt his palm swell slightly, and a resin card depicting a scorpion pushing dung was weirdly stuffed into his palm.

"This is the certificate of the Scorpio Branch. As long as you stamp another seal of mine, you can join the Scorpio Branch directly like other people who left the Virgo Branch."

After explaining the significance of this thing, looking at Leon who was checking the card, the thin and tall man smiled:

"Young man, I am very optimistic about you. If you also can't stand Olivia like those seniors who left the Virgo Branch, you can take it and jump to our Scorpio Branch. The Scorpio Branch also welcomes you.

I can't guarantee anything, but at least our Scorpio Branch has enough manpower, so newcomers don't have to undertake such dangerous work, and even be used as bait to capture Director Aquarius..." "What are you talking about?!"

Beverly roared:

"We didn't use Leon as bait! The Gemini Branch Director is Director Aquarius. No one knew at the time that Leon would face him alone, it was just an accident!"

"Oh? So you didn't know he would be targeted by Aquarius next."

Edward of the Scorpio Branch raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said with curiosity:

"Then it's strange. Since you didn't know this would happen, why did Olivia give him the means to save his life? Could it be that the powerful means to save his life in the hands of a Director have flooded to the point where they can be given to anyone?"

"You!"

"Why are you always so anxious?"

The thin man smiled:

"This matter involves the Watchtower Palace, and I am only raising some reasonable doubts. If I am wrong in the end, I can apologize to you."

This guy... daring to stand out and cause trouble at a time like this, it seems he is the sworn enemy of his own Director.

And judging by his meaning, many of those who left the Virgo Bureau in the past probably went to the Scorpio Bureau. The grudge between the two sides seems very deep?

Watching the man who choked the Lion Bureau Director into a glare with two sarcastic remarks, Li Ang simply pried open the resin card in his hand, looked at the name on the signature line, and said with a thoughtful look:

"Edward Carson... This name sounds a bit familiar..."

"Oh? You have already heard of me?"

The tall, thin man raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and replied with a smile:

"Your Director hates me very much and shouldn't have told you my name, so... did you hear it from those seniors who left the Virgo Branch?"

"No."

Li Ang shook his head and said:

"When the Time Gap was activated, the Aquarius Director once mentioned a list of people in the Bureau who were colluding with him. I feel like I might have heard it then."

"......"

Caught off guard by Li Ang's words, the smile on the tall, thin man's face stiffened abruptly, and then he drank with a dark face:

"Think clearly before you speak! How could Aquarius tell a Level 3 Handler like you such important things? And as a traitor, even if he really said it, it doesn't count!"

"Normally speaking, it's not very likely."

Li Ang nodded in agreement, then blinked and said:

"But he took out something called the Truth Balance, said a few secrets himself first, and then used the power of that anomalous object to force me to say some corresponding secrets. Under the power of this thing, both he and I could only tell the truth."

"Then you..."

"I really had no choice but to tell many important secrets and leaked some information that is very important to the Virgo Branch. I am especially sorry to our Director... but it's not a loss to be able to get the traitor list."

After nodding in apology to the red-haired Director whose corners of her mouth were twitching uncontrollably, Li Ang turned his head again, looked at the tall, thin man who looked slightly uneasy, and suggested sincerely:

"Seriously, although I don't guarantee you are a traitor, the name does sound a bit familiar, and since it involves the Watchtower Palace, so... why don't you go to that Brain-Eating Demon first and let it lick you twice to try? If it proves you are not, I can also apologize to you."

"......"
