Chapter 792: Partners

"I do indeed have that intention."

Facing the King of Nightmares' cold and sharp questioning, Director Aquarius laughed and admitted without covering it up:

"Although I have defected from the Cleaning Bureau now, I was a Director of the Cleaning Bureau after all.

I have been against you for so many years in the past. This time, I suddenly let you in with my own hands, and I feel a bit awkward in my heart, so I just harmed you to atone for my sins. It's a pity that you saw through it."

"It's not completely seen through."

The blurry face faded from the boat and returned to its original position. The gray mist soaked in the pitch-black river, like a soaked cloak, stuck stickily to the King of Nightmares' body, clearly outlining its withered figure.

After wringing out the gray robe soaked in countless nightmares, the King of Nightmares stretched out its withered arm and adjusted the mirror-like crown on its head. Then, looking down at the two people on the small boat, it said in a ghostly voice:

"I am indeed a bit curious now about what is so special about that Level 3 cleaner who forced you to cooperate with me. But it is absolutely impossible for you to use his hand to kill me.

I am immortal in the Abyss of Fallen Souls. Without you, Director Aquarius, even if the remaining eleven Directors of your Cleaning Bureau all came over, it would be impossible to kill me."

"Hmm, hmm, as long as you have confidence."

After smiling noncommittally, Director Aquarius said:

"Enough nonsense, it's time to take action and help me repair my soul, right? Where should I sleep? On this boat?"

"As long as you can fall asleep, you can sleep anywhere. However..."

After looking at Director Aquarius, the King of Nightmares tore a corner from its robe, spread it flat on the black river, and then smiled playfully:

"To achieve the most perfect effect, to fall completely asleep, and to wake up completely in reality, it is best to sleep on my robe during this process... Are you coming over?"

"Why not?"

In the surprised gazes of the female reporter and the King of Nightmares, Director Aquarius actually took the initiative to step off the small boat and walked toward the gray robe spread on the river surface.

"Don't! No!"

Seeing that he was actually playing for real, the female reporter said anxiously:

"The King of Nightmares' robe is also part of its body! If you fall asleep on its robe, after you wake up in reality, that robe will become a part of you! Even if you aren't completely controlled, you will be affected by it!"

"It doesn't matter, we are partners!"

Under the King of Nightmares' silent gaze, Director Aquarius lay down on the gray robe in an extremely relaxed manner and said with a smile:

"My purpose is to repair my soul, so naturally I have to pursue the most complete effect. Since sleeping on its robe has a better effect, then of course I have to try it."

"..."

Damn it... worthy of being a Director of the Cleaning Bureau!

Watching Director Aquarius, who really didn't leave any backhand and lay down on its robe in a relaxed manner, the King of Nightmares, hiding behind the gray mist, saw the original confidence fade slightly, replaced by a deep sense of wariness.

The whole process of repairing the soul defect by exchanging dreams and reality is led by itself. Facing Director Aquarius who delivered himself to the door, it, as the leader, would naturally do some tricks.

And Director Aquarius clearly knew this. Knowing that being tricked was unavoidable, he simply didn't bother to defend himself and directly opened his soul to let it do whatever it wanted.

If this hadn't happened, it would have likely left some backhands in the process of repairing his soul, leaking a few flaws that could cause his soul to collapse rapidly, in order to force him to pledge allegiance to it.

But now that he took the initiative to open his soul and let it leave a mark, these small tricks were unnecessary. In order to ensure the stability and usability of this "tool" that belonged to it, it would instead do its best to repair his soul more completely. But a person like him could never truly submit to it and be willing to be a servant.

And the reason he was willing to open his soul and let it do whatever it wanted was probably only one... that was, he was certain that it would not survive and would definitely be completely killed by the Cleaning Bureau!

After all, as long as it, the one who left the mark, died, then whether or not there was a mark it left in his soul didn't matter, right?

Thoughts flashed through its mind in an instant. After vaguely guessing Director Aquarius's thoughts, the gray-mist giant couldn't help but snort coldly.

It saw its palm, with flesh and skin loosely attached to the bones, grab the air, and the gray robe under Director Aquarius rolled up, wrapping him inside and sinking into the black river flowing with countless nightmares.

And at the position where Director Aquarius sank, a dark dream full of blood color slowly emerged on the pitch-black river surface like the night sky.

Faith, firmness, death, pain, wailing, doubt, collapse, madness... Intense emotions with a purity that even shocked the King of Nightmares boiled a large area of the pitch-black river surface directly.

Immediately after, a slightly yellow palm, younger than Director Aquarius, with clean and tight skin and no age spots yet, reached out from the blood-colored dream and firmly gripped the boiling river surface.

"Really good."

A young man in a water-blue robe covered in blood, with an expression that was both crying and laughing, and a somewhat drifting figure, climbed up from the blood-colored dream. Under the female reporter's complicated gaze, he stepped steadily onto the small boat.

"It hasn't been this light for many years."

After moving his body, which looked much younger, and looking at his slightly transparent palms, Director Aquarius, who looked only forty-something, nodded with great satisfaction, then smiled at the gray-mist giant:

"In return for you helping me recover my youth, I will also give you an extra piece of news... Based on my understanding of the Cleaning Bureau, the Director of the Scorpio Branch will most likely be sent over."

"What?!"

Hearing Director Aquarius's words, the gray mist on the King of Nightmares surged, and it couldn't help but roar angrily:

"Why didn't you say this earlier? If two Zodiac branch directors join forces, even I might not be able to rush out!"

"Don't worry, his relationship with the Blood-Haired Lady is very bad. If he is forcibly required to come and support, he won't be willing to use his full strength, and it will be simple to deal with."

Sitting in the small wooden boat and tapping the stern lightly, Director Aquarius said with a smile:

"The two of them won't move together. They will definitely act alone. When the time comes, you just need to send a few servants who look similar to trap him in some troublesome dream for a while."

"With his personality, as long as you can make him understand that he must pay a certain price, or even face danger, to break free from the dream, he will honestly let himself be trapped by you."

"..."

"Before leaving, add one more sentence... Remember to descend the Abyss of Fallen Souls to reality first, and then take action against the people of the Cleaning Bureau."

After waving at the gray-mist giant, Director Aquarius on the boat said earnestly:

"You must not die too early. If I haven't woken up in reality yet, and you are killed by that Li Ang first, then I will be very troubled."

"..."

Kill him! I will kill him as soon as I meet him!
