Chapter 606: Milky
Chapter 606: Milky
Wait... Why are you still eating people?
"Don't worry, those eaten by me won't really die!"
Director Pisces remained silent, and with Senior Amien still outside, Leon's heart began to race. He turned to the group of cleaners before him and explained, "I have a unique ability, which allows me to temporarily enhance my strength by consuming others. And don't worry, those consumed can be regurgitated later without any danger!"
"..."
"I assure you, I stand by my words."
Seeing the crowd fall silent, some even retreating, Leon turned to Abigail for help.
"During our last investigation mission, we faced an extremely dangerous situation. Ruben, Frankie, and Mona from Scorpio District were consumed by me, but they're all fine now. The people from Scorpio District can vouch for this!"
"..."
"Senior Abigail?"
"Well... It seems there was such an incident..."
As the crowd stared with a mix of belief and doubt, Abigail stiffened and nodded, adding her testimony:
"Due to confidentiality, Ruben couldn't share the mission details with me, but they did return alive."
"See, I just need to temporarily consume you..."
"But their original bodies were lost."
"?"
As the crowd took a synchronized step back at this revelation, Leon glanced at the white-clad girl in surprise.
Why are you saying this now?
"I'm just stating the facts."
Facing Leon's astonished gaze, Abigail instinctively took half a step back, then whispered with her head slightly averted:
"Additionally, before we registered for this examination, Director Edward suspected you might participate. So, he withheld our application, asking us to wait for the next examination."
"..."
"Also, the Director instructed us to surrender immediately if we couldn't win against you. He warned us to stay away from you, and if... if you suddenly went mad and did something crazy, we must report to Director Pisces immediately..."
"?!?!?"
Wait... You're saying this is how he 'appreciates' me?
As the crowd listened to Abigail's account, their faces paled with fear, ready to scatter at any moment. Leon's cheeks twitched, abandoning the idea of a peaceful resolution.
With Director Pisces silent and Senior Amien outside, every second wasted increased the risk for her. So...
I can only apologize in advance!
Stepping forward abruptly, Leon grabbed Abigail's wings, raising his knife amidst the shocked expressions of the cleaners.
"Sorry, I'll make it up to you later!"
"?"
Hey, you're about to start eating now?!
As Leon's true intentions were exposed, he dropped all pretense and prepared to consume his victims. The cleaners, unable to resist, scattered in all directions.
It's not that we lack courage, it's just useless now!
Previously, one out of four hundred could be easily crushed, but now, with his eyes set on a rampage, any attempt to swarm him would be like sliding into his grasp.
...
Oh no... It's over!
Abigail struggled, but couldn't break free. She paled at the sight of Leon's menacing gaze, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.
She regretted not heeding the Director's advice!
If she had listened to Director Edward's warning and not insisted on challenging Leon, she wouldn't have encountered such a terrifying situation... But Director, you eat people! You should have at least given us a heads up!
"Huh?"
Just as Leon was about to strike down the Six-Winged Roast Chicken, a curious child's voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.
The cleaners, who were scattering in all directions, felt a momentary dizziness, and the white, hazy sky of the Dream Test Arena disappeared. The vibrant and colorful Dream River finally reappeared before their eyes.
"So many people~"
A girl with braided pigtails was holding Amien Senior's hand, looking up at the panicked cleaners. Her adorable face was full of anticipation as she spoke:
"Are you playing a game? Can I join in, Milky?"
Milky... One of the four souls of the Pisces Director?!
Having seen Milky once at the Director's office, Leon immediately recognized her. He quickly released Abigail, who was filled with despair, and rushed towards the two. However, before he could ask anything, Amien spoke first:
"The Aquarius Director was here."
"!!!"
"He suddenly appeared, stabbed the Pisces Director, and then threatened to kill all the cleaners if the Pisces Director didn't cooperate with him."
Damn... This is really bad!
Upon hearing that Aquarius had been there, Leon's expression turned grim. He hurriedly asked, "And then?"
"Then, during the conversation with the Pisces Director, something happened, and Aquarius suddenly became dazed. The Pisces Director then summoned a colorful phantom and crushed Aquarius's physical body."
Amien pointed to a twisted corpse not far away and said uncertainly, "I don't know the details, but Aquarius Director definitely didn't die. After being crushed by the Pisces Director, he even had the presence of mind to smile and bid farewell to the Pisces Director. But right after the Pisces Director left, he suddenly fell to the ground and ended up like this..."
"Hey!"
The girl with braided pigtails tugged at Amien's clothes, pouted, and protested indignantly, "What do you mean by 'like this'? Everyone says Milky is cute!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
Hearing the girl's protest, Amien apologized with a slight nod and then explained, "My choice of words might not be pleasant, but Sir Pisces, I didn't mean anything else. I'm just describing the situation as it is."
What? This little girl is the Pisces Director?!
Leon and Amien's conversation wasn't private, and the cleaners who hadn't run far due to the limited space had overheard parts of their conversation. Although they didn't understand everything, they had a general idea of the Pisces Director's "whereabouts." Over four hundred pairs of eyes turned towards them.
"Oh!"
Startled by the complex gazes of the cleaners, the child version of the Pisces Director let out a soft cry. She then hid behind Leon, whom she recognized, and said timidly, tugging at his pants, "Milky is the... the two wise fish! You have to listen to Milky!"
