Chapter 870

Finished!

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's question, the female reporter's body stiffened slightly, and a chill climbed up Li Ang's spine.

He was different from the female reporter!

Given the vendetta between him and the other, if the Aquarius Director knew he was here, he would definitely be overjoyed, then tear him into eight pieces, grind his bones into dust, and mix them into his rice to eat. Even after ascending to the palace, once he remembered today's events, he might even be able to laugh out loud.

And the female reporter...

Although she was prepared to shield him, the Aquarius's evaluation of her was correct. With her level in this regard, if she wanted to shield him, it would probably be no different from directly selling him out!

'Don't move!'

Understanding that he absolutely couldn't hide anymore at this time, Li Ang risked the danger of being discovered directly, stretched out his right hand, which was so faint it was almost invisible, and pressed it against the female reporter's waist.

At an angle that the Aquarius Director couldn't see, relying on the close contact between souls, Li Ang's thoughts and ideas were transmitted to her mind along her waist.

'Do as I say! You hesitate first, then say that the other soul should be an interrogation expert invited by the Blood-Haired Maiden from the Police Department. During the interrogation, he was accidentally bumped out of his body and entered the Dead Realm all the way, but because his soul was too weak, he couldn't hold on and has already been digested by the Dog God!'

'Good...'

After moving her body uncomfortably, the female reporter tried hard to control her emotions and relayed Li Ang's statement.

"Is that so..."

And after listening to the female reporter's relay, the Aquarius Director nodded slightly and did not continue to ask, but said with a calm expression:

"Nicole, after this meeting, we should be parting forever. While there is still time, let me talk to you more."

"..."

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's words, the female reporter couldn't help but clench her fists subconsciously, and her heart became a mess.

Although the three-headed Dog God was dead, its ability to 'digest' souls was still there! If they continued to chat like this, Li Ang, whose 'digestive fluid' hadn't been cleaned up yet, would probably suffer a great deal, and might even not be able to withstand the erosion and dissipate directly!

So... should she say some excuses, tell the Director that safety comes first, the Blood-Haired Maiden might come over at any time, let him leave, and let Li Ang out first?

'Don't! Absolutely don't!'

Through the contact between souls, after noticing what the female reporter wanted to do, Li Ang hurriedly stopped her with force:

'You can't hide it from him like this! He might even secretly run back after leaving, and then I would really be finished! You nod now, then lower your head and keep silent!'

"Hmm..."

After responding to both people with one sentence, the female reporter, who was a bit anxious in her heart, pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence.

And the Aquarius Director, after receiving the response, said softly with a look of guilt:

"There is one thing I have never told you... although your parents were not harmed by me, in fact, when I discovered you, I actually had the opportunity to save your parents, but... I didn't do so in the end."

"?!!!"

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's words, the female reporter's body shook violently, and she raised her head and stared fixedly at the Aquarius Director.

"Apologies..."

Without looking into the female reporter's eyes, the Aquarius Director closed his eyes, his voice full of regret:

"Regarding this matter, I have nothing to explain. As for the reason I chose this way, I think you should know without me saying it."

"You..."

"I have to say, I really regret it now."

After looking at the female reporter's lips, which were bitten white, the Aquarius Director sighed:

"If I had known it would be like this today, I probably wouldn't have chosen that way. But it's too late to regret now. Your parents can't come back, and my choice was indeed very poor...

Nicole, although I actually wanted to leave a good impression on you in our last meeting, if I don't tell you now, there will be no more opportunities to say these words. I thought and thought, and finally decided to be honest with you."

"..."

Honest...

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's words, the female reporter's hands couldn't help but clench tighter and tighter. She really wanted to rush over and question him, but she was worried that after her aura was no longer shielding him, Li Ang's soul would be completely exposed. In the end, she could only stand where she was and ask in a dry voice:

"Just because... I am a good material and might give birth to an excellent anomalous object?"

"Yes."

The Aquarius Director nodded, restrained the look of regret on his face, and said with a calm expression:

"You know, after the last relative died, there was nothing left in this world worth my nostalgia, except for the Secret Art of Anomalous Creation. And my only and final wish is to ascend to the Watchtower and see what the ultimate of the Secret Art of Anomalous Creation is like."

"Is the Secret Art of Anomalous Creation so important to you?"

Upon hearing this, the female reporter gritted her teeth, then asked with sadness in her eyes:

"Even if the price of a glance is destroying the lives of countless people, betraying the Cleanup Bureau and being hunted down, and even sitting alone in the dead deep space until the soul collapses... even if you know these, you don't regret it?"

"That's a matter for the future."

The Aquarius Director blinked upon hearing this, then said with a peaceful expression:

"When I sit in the deep space in the future, I don't know if I will regret it, but if I clearly had the opportunity but didn't go to take a look, then I would start to regret it from now."

"..."

"Nicole, you won't understand this feeling."

Looking at the female reporter who was biting her lips and no longer speaking, a hint of hidden fanaticism rose in the Aquarius Director's eyes.

"My level in this secret art almost surpasses all my predecessors, except for the 【Watchtower】. Even understanding it is very difficult for me, because it is contrary to what I know and have learned.

In the past hundred years, most of the anomalous objects I created with the help of the Secret Art of Anomalous Creation stemmed from extreme, angry, and hateful... these more crazy and intense emotions.

But as the masterpiece of this secret art, the root of the 【Watchtower】 is love, the kind of kindness and compassion that is not intense, and even a bit taken for granted.

And since the Watchtower is the masterpiece of the Secret Art of Creation, I, who took the wrong path from the beginning, clearly have unparalleled talent, but it is possible that I will never reach the true peak of this secret art in my life...

Nicole, do you know how desperate I felt when I discovered this?"

"I don't want to know, and I have no interest in knowing!"

Looking at the Aquarius Director, who was full of fanaticism in front of her, the female reporter couldn't help but say with disappointment and hatred:

"I only know that you are a lunatic! You have completely gone crazy!"

"Hmm... perhaps I have indeed gone crazy."

The Aquarius Director was silent for a moment upon hearing this, his fanatical emotions slightly deflated, then as if he had sensed something, he turned his head and looked behind him, then shook his head with some regret:

"Nicole, I should go. You must remember my words before, as long as you continue..."

"You go! I don't want to see you again!"

"..."

After looking at the female reporter, the Aquarius Director shook his head, took a step, and quietly disappeared outside the Gate of the Dead.

And just as Li Ang let out a sigh of relief, hesitating whether he should climb out immediately or climb out later to prevent the Aquarius from killing a carbine, a light sound of bones being broken suddenly came from the Dog God's brain.

Immediately after, a strange-looking paper cutter easily broke through the Dog God's upper jaw and fell onto Li Ang's body with a clatter. And along with this small knife, there was also a low whisper.

"Let's make a deal."

In Li Ang's suddenly widened eyes, the thin and sharp paper cutter quietly circled to the side of his soul's neck and cut a small incision on it.

Subsequently, strange characters seeped in along this small incision, permeated into Li Ang's soul, and turned into the Aquarius Director's familiar voice.

"I have already destroyed the relationship between Nicole and me, and she is already harmless to you, so I hope to use this small knife and your life to exchange for a protection from the Virgo Branch for her... Are you interested in this deal?"

"..."
