Chapter 683: The Second One
Chapter 683: The Second One
The position of the Twinfish Director requires two people to share it?
Upon hearing the words of the younger Twinfish Director, Leon couldn't help but pause slightly, then turned his gaze towards the lone Twinfish Director.
But isn't there only one Twinfish Director right now? Is the other one on a business trip? Or... is your situation unique, with a total of four souls—male, female, old, and young—where the one outside is responsible for active interference, while the three inside the body focus on observation?
The female cleaner beside them also seemed to have the same question. After glancing at the Twinfish Director, she tentatively asked, "I'm quite interested in the Pisces Palace... but where is your 'partner'?"
"Her..."
The Twinfish Director fell silent for a moment, then heaved a long, melancholy sigh. "It's a rather sad story."
"..."
"..."
"..."
So, you're just going to mention the story but not share it with us, right? Leon couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain as he looked at the Twinfish Director, who had stopped talking and was now smiling at them. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Sir Twinfish, if we were to truly inherit your position in the future, what changes would occur?"
"There will definitely be changes, and they won't be minor."
After glancing at the other fish tanks, which were devoid of any activity, the Twinfish Director realized that the man and woman before him were most likely the two best-qualified cleaners. A sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Your secret art progress will be shared, your souls will gradually synchronize, your power will be evenly divided, and as you continue to practice the secret art, you may even be able to glimpse into each other's memories.
Lastly, according to past records, due to decades of companionship and mutual understanding, the probability of the two Twinfish Directors ending up together is extremely high if they are of different genders... Well, it's not impossible for them to be of the same gender either."
"..."
Shared progress, divided power, synchronized souls, and shared memories... It's confirmed; this is another secret art that I'm not good at.
"Hmm?"
Noticing the resistance in Leon's eyes, the Twinfish Director frowned. However, after observing the progress in the other fish tanks, his smile widened, and he shamelessly started making things up, "It seems you're not satisfied with this arrangement, but in my opinion, this girl is incredibly beautiful, and you two look good together. There's nothing wrong with you two being a couple. Won't you consider it?"
"Er..."
Leon turned his head slightly and glanced at the female cleaner, whose body was covered in a sticky transparent liquid. His expression became slightly strained.
During the first exam, he had been too busy trying to keep the sand out of his eyes to notice this petite female cleaner hiding behind Abigail. He only vaguely remembered that her features were quite delicate.
But now, after escaping the fish's mouth twice, her hair was plastered to her face, wet and sticky like drenched magpie feathers. It covered most of her face, leaving only a small portion of her features visible. If she were to change into a white outfit, she would resemble a well-known female ghost who often crawled out of wells, with about ninety percent similarity.
Her neck, however, was delicate and graceful, so slender that one would hesitate to touch it, fearing it might break. Unfortunately, that was the only appealing feature. Continuing to look further down would be a bit cruel.
If one were to compare the breadth of their chest muscles, Leon might even surpass her. It seemed that while she was indeed beautiful and refined, her level of feminine charm was not as high as one might expect.
"?"
What do you mean?
Seeing the hesitant expression on Leon's face, the little female cleaner felt her heart clench, sensing that she had been gravely offended.
If Leon's gaze merely held annoyance, disdain, or even hatred, she might not have felt so distressed. But in his eyes, there seemed to be something even more "rude," as if he had directly denied something that was very important to her.
"You're joking..."
Noticing the little female cleaner's eyes widening in surprise, Leon quickly reacted and coughed, turning to politely decline, "I'm afraid we're not a good match. It seems that the Pisces Palace and I are not destined to be together."
"Oh..."
Glancing at the female cleaner beside her, whose face was gradually turning red as she gritted her teeth at Leon's back, the Pisces Director couldn't help but smile. He then asked again with a hint of regret:
"Leon, are you sure you won't reconsider? Based on my understanding of you, your innate anomalous ability allows you to read a significant amount of information from anomalies. The Pisces Palace's secret art of Anomaly Observation can also slightly touch upon the future.
If you dedicate yourself to studying for a couple of decades and master the Pisces secret art to a profound level, combined with your innate anomalous ability, no anomaly will be able to hide anything from you.
With this unbeatable observation ability, I am more than ninety percent certain that I can cultivate you into the greatest Pisces Director the cleaners have ever seen, without a doubt."
"..."
Forget it. Rather than becoming the greatest director, I'd rather strive to become the most powerful cleaner first.
To give up half my strength for a position as a half-Pisces Director and bind myself to a stranger, it's a real loss. Not to mention sharing memories, I can't let others know about the things in my mind.
Besides, I only declined the "VIP Fast Track" and the personal training from the Pisces Director. It doesn't mean I've completely given up on learning the Pisces secret art.
Glancing at the flashing "Pisces Secret Art Heir" on the panel, Leon shook his head firmly and refused once more:
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm really not suitable for the position in the Pisces Palace."
"Alright..."
Faced with Leon's unwavering refusal, the Pisces Director, who had failed to force the match, sighed regretfully. He then waved his hand towards their feet, summoning a black and white pair of large dogs. With a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he said:
"I won't force you, but don't rush to reject me either. Take some more time to consider.
Hmm... It's almost time. I'll send you both to the Cancer Palace for their selection. You can take this opportunity to get to know this child better. Who knows, you might become compatible after getting familiar with each other. If you change your mind later, you're always welcome to come back and find me!"
I probably won't change my mind, considering my unique situation, it's not suitable for me to be with someone else... Wait a second! Send "us" to the Cancer Palace?
Hearing this, Leon turned around abruptly and looked at the little female cleaner's arm. To his surprise, he noticed five complete Zodiac Palace emblems glowing with a misty light on her fair and delicate arm.
