Chapter 819: 416 The Rising

Invincible in reality...

Hearing the Aquarius Director's evaluation of the red-haired Director, a look of doubt surfaced in the female reporter's eyes.

Although the Blood-Haired Girl's record was terrifying, that was only the simplest physical damage, and the abilities of many anomalous objects were extremely strange. Some didn't even need to show their faces to control or even kill the target.

Just from what she knew, there were the 【Dead Realm Street Lamp】 and 【Butler List】 that killed half of the Director's soul, the 【Whisper Knife】 from the Sagittarius branch that could disable anomalous objects, the 【King's Pilgrimage】 from the Leo branch that suppressed souls, and the 【Beautiful Tail Robe】 from the Peacock branch that destroyed vision.

Even the three-piece time set crafted by the Director using the remains of the King of Time, the 【Reflecting Lake Evil Moon】 from the Pisces branch that forcibly modified consciousness, the 【Hunting Death Sparrow】 from the Crow branch, and so on.

Even if the Blood-Haired Girl could chisel through the moon in three days, what could she do when facing these things that didn't need to appear in front of her to cause her damage?

"What? You don't believe it?"

After glancing at the female reporter's skeptical expression, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but laugh:

"Hehe, I know what you are thinking, nothing more than feeling that you can avoid fighting her head-on and use some hidden means to deal with her."

"But don't forget, the Virgo branch stores the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 numbered 004. It can almost kill all humans in one breath. Its importance is second only to the 【Watchtower】 and the 【Star Dome Compass】. It is almost the most dangerous thing in the Bureau."

"So have you ever thought about why such a deadly thing is not kept in the General Bureau but is placed in the Virgo branch?"

"?!"

Amidst the female reporter's sudden shock, the Aquarius Director restrained the smile on his face and said seriously:

"That's because all the directors, including me, who made this decision at the time, unanimously agreed that this thing is even safer in Olivia's hands than in the General Bureau!"

"..."

"Nicole, although her nickname is Blood-Haired Girl, she doesn't only have the 【Slaughtering Blood Hairs】 anomalous object."

The Aquarius Director sat cross-legged, gazing at the sun leaping out of the horizon in the distance, and said with some nostalgia:

"The Taurus Director has a very compatible temperament with her and treats her like his own daughter, so he has prepared many good things for her."

"In addition, in order to guard the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 well, the Taurus Director put in a lot of effort, and even asked me to help him forge a whole set of protective anomalous objects for her."

"Flesh stabilization, soul recovery, cognitive enhancement, memory clearing, mental reset, danger warning... almost everything you can think of is inside. At the very least, I can't think of any means that can bypass those things to knock her down."

"And once she detects danger or suffers some kind of damage, these anomalous objects will immediately activate, eliminating all states identified as 'anomalous'..."

"Hmm... thinking about it carefully, I can be considered to have lifted a rock only to drop it on my own feet. If I had known there would be today, I should have secretly left a backup plan."

"..."

Amidst the female reporter's expression of not knowing how to complain, the slightly annoyed Aquarius Director concluded:

"In short, although Olivia is not the strongest cleanup personnel, she is definitely the cleanup personnel with the fewest weaknesses."

"Even if twenty True Gods descended in one breath, they could only face the deadly 【Slaughtering Blood Hairs】 and fight her hard while risking being torn apart at any time, until she is completely exhausted."

"But the trouble is, during the long period of attrition, once the rotating director discovers something is wrong and judges that the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 are in danger, at most within half an hour, a quarter of the sun will fall directly on your head. Even if I were full and had nothing to do, I wouldn't sneak attack her."

"After all, a guy like her with a full shell is the kind of opponent I am least good at dealing with. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you steal her wallet."

"..."

So... why exactly did you let me steal her wallet? Could it be that being short of money can make such an impeccable person reveal a flaw?

"Hehe, don't ask about the wallet. I won't tell you."

Before the female reporter could speak, he blocked her question, and the Aquarius Director smiled:

"Although I believe you won't betray me and hand me over to the Cleanup Bureau, you are indeed a soft-hearted good person. I still have to guard against it to some extent. If you knew my plan and secretly leaked it, making the Blood-Haired Girl prepared, then I would be in trouble."

"..."

"By the way, since we've talked about this today, I'll say one last thing."

After looking at the female reporter whose expression was a bit depressed but also vaguely relaxed, the Aquarius Director, with his young face, said kindly:

"Nicole, regarding this plan, I actually don't have complete certainty that it will succeed."

"So remember, if I fail in the end and don't manage to replace the Taurus Director to sit on the throne, but am finished off by the Blood-Haired Girl or that Li Ang, you must not think about taking revenge for me. Just live well."

"..."

Hearing the Water Bottle Director's testament-like instructions, the female reporter could not help but raise her head to meet his gaze; when she saw the Water Bottle Director's kind eyes, a trace of sorrow could not help but well up in her heart.

Although the Director is not a good person, if it weren't for him, she would only have rotted away on the dark privateer ship, and would not have had the opportunity to take revenge on those pirates and personally avenge her murdered parents.

And since she was seven, she had been taken by his side. Even reading and writing were taught by him in his spare time. After she grew up a little, she participated in countless missions with him, and like saving her, he had protected countless people.

Over the years, although she still called him Director, in her heart, he had long replaced her parents, whose faces she couldn't quite remember, and became her family without blood ties. That was why she knew he was wrong, but could never bring herself to be ruthless...

"Understood."

After responding vaguely, the female reporter turned her head slightly and said with a stiff face:

"Director, although your face has become younger, you are still as old as before, rambling so much... Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to the Dream Realm."

"Nothing else, go in peace!"

After waving his hand to signal her to set off quickly, the Aquarius Director, who had sat by the clock tower for a whole night, stood up against the sun, stretched his somewhat stiff body, and then smiled:

"My evil soul was finished off in the Dead Realm and has returned to the source of the world. Now, my repaired soul is dominated by the remaining good soul, so I can barely be considered half a good person. Unless there is some special situation, it is very difficult for me to have any evil thoughts in my heart."

That's true...

Looking at the Aquarius Director, who was bathed in the rising morning sun, whose temperament was less gloomy and serious, and had become bright and kind, the female reporter nodded in relaxation and stepped into the Dream Realm with the Dream-Traveling Lantern.

After she left completely, the Aquarius Director, standing by the clock tower and overlooking the capital, smiled, then took out a somewhat dilapidated small wooden box.

"Knock, knock, knock."

After politely knocking three times on the lid of the small wooden box, looking at the blue little person who pushed open the lid and stood up, the Aquarius Director smiled and said:

"Do me a favor! Please find the elite nightmare controlled by the Blood-Haired Girl, and reveal Nicole's whereabouts and target to her, thank you!" ===== CHAPTER 820 =====
