Chapter 751: The Difficulty of Judgment and the Heart Lake
Chapter 751: The Difficulty of Judgment and the Heart Lake
Wait... Weren't you supposed to protect the royal family? What's the meaning of dunking the King of the Northern Kingdom into the river?
After several glances at the hazy mirror, confirming that the person being 'tortured' by Lyon in the river was indeed King Harvey of the Northern Kingdom, the two directors felt their heads buzz. They rushed to the Celestial Globe Mirror, their eyes wide with shock, as they watched Lyon vigorously 'abusing' the king.
The bearded king in the mirror, despite possessing dual bloodlines like the female cleaner, was not as accustomed to the anomalies' influence as the female cleaner, who had grown up in the Aquarius Bureau. As a result, his physique was noticeably weaker.
After being dunked and scrubbed vigorously by Lyon, his physique, unable to match the female cleaner's, visibly suffered. He drank water and then spat it out, his eyes rolling in discomfort.
How deep must their grudge be for him to be treated like this?
Seeing the king looking like a chick in the hands of a mischievous child, being tormented by Lyon, the Pisces Director quickly grabbed the mirror and turned to the Bull Director, "Quickly contact Aquarius to stop him! He's just an ordinary person, but he's still the King of the North. This treatment is too inappropriate!"
"Um... Maybe we should wait a bit?"
The Bull Director observed the bearded king's reaction through the mirror and noticed that he seemed a bit uncomfortable but not in immediate danger. He breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, hesitantly, he said, "Lyon's methods may be rough, and he even caused the annihilation of the Krak Kingdom last time, but if you think about it carefully, there's always a reason for his actions. He usually doesn't act without cause.
We're nearly a hundred thousand kilometers away from there, and without being in his shoes, we might not understand many things. So, I think it's best to trust Lyon and let him make his own decisions."
"..."
That made sense. Aquarius often caused a stir, but he had never failed in any mission, no matter how dangerous. So, at least in terms of capability, there was no doubt about him.
After listening to the Bull Director, Pisces observed the mirror again. The king was being dunked and scrubbed, but there was no other abuse. However, as he watched, Pisces felt something was off. Lyon, empowered by both the Carnage King Black Hand and Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in Night, exuded a sinister and dark aura, looking less and less like a good person. Pisces' mouth twitched, and he turned to the Bull Director with a strained expression, "Although it doesn't seem like he's being too harsh, Aquarius's expression seems a bit... excessive, doesn't it?"
"..."
Indeed...
Seeing Lyon in the mirror, dunking and scrubbing the king while wearing a sinister smile, the Bull Director couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead, unsure how to describe the scene.
He remembered the first time he met Lyon in the Virgo Bureau; the boy had been serious and cautious, appearing very reliable. But after spending a few months under Olivia's guidance, his style had mysteriously changed.
As for what style... it perfectly fit the stereotypical impression people had of the Virgo Bureau...
"Maybe I should contact him..."
Unable to bear the sight, the Bull Director turned away. He took out a small silver knife, cut a piece of his fingernail, and then pricked his vein to draw a few drops of blood. Finally, he plucked a strand of hair, bundled it together with the other items, and tossed them onto the smooth mirror surface.
As the Celestial Globe Mirror swallowed the materials of bone, blood, and hair, a light click sounded, and a dark red, white, and black glow suddenly emanated from it, pulling a portion of the Bull Director's consciousness into the mirror.
…
Hmm?
Sensing something, Lyon reached into his pocket and retrieved a palm-sized dark golden doll.
The golden doll, with its heart stained dark red and adorned with silver hair, opened its eyes at that moment, its expression complex.
"Lyon, you..."
"Please wait a moment."
After asking the Arrival Doll used for communication with the headquarters to wait, Lyon handed over the task of vigorously scrubbing the bearded king to a female cleaner standing nearby. Then, with a serious expression, he spoke first, "Your Highness, we have a situation here!"
"What?"
"The Carnage King Society has entered the Earth Core Meltway ahead of us and is likely heading towards the Marrow Realm to release the Earth Tribes. Director Bartho is unreachable, possibly detained. We must prepare for the release of the Earth Tribes!"
"What?!"
"Additionally, the Earth Core Meltway incident seems to be a conspiracy. The Carnage King Society's true intention is likely to lure Director Bartho away, allowing the Illusion and the Heart Lake Deity to corrupt nearly a hundred million lives in Hot River City. By doing so, they aim to enhance their power to a level close to that of a Pillar Deity and then eliminate all royal bloodlines within the city!"
"What?!"
"And there's more..."
"More?!"
In response to the Bull Director's shocked exclamation, Lyon nodded helplessly.
"Indeed, there's more. The Carnage King Society seems to have an excessive amount of information about the Aquarius Bureau and Director Bartho. I suspect that, in addition to the aforementioned goals, they also aim to directly annihilate the Aquarius Bureau."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Lyon's speculation, the Bull Director was taken aback and, without time to worry about the king, hastily asked, "What about the Aquarius Bureau?"
"They're safe."
Lyon gave the Bull Director a reassuring look, indicating that he had the situation under control. Then, with a serious expression, he reported, "Aside from Director Bartho, most of the Aquarius Bureau personnel are here."
...
Since Lyon had already taken action and spoken up, the Aquarius Bureau members' safety concerns, aside from psychological issues, were indeed alleviated...
Facing Lyon's hard-to-evaluate protective style, the Bull Director fell silent for a moment. Then, his cheeks twitched as he asked, "So, what's your plan? Is there anything the Bureau can do to help?"
"I plan to deal with the Heart Lake Deity first and then pursue Director Bartho. But the biggest issue remains the Marrow Realm and the Earth Tribes. I know too little about their situation. Could you... Your Highness?"
Seeing the Bull Director suddenly lower his head and become unresponsive, Lyon was taken aback. He then looked up towards Hot River City above.
An immense Heart Lake, beyond imagination, had silently formed, and a colorful, invisible Valley Seed, like a giant meteorite, fell from the sky. It carried an emotional flame powerful enough to scorch everything, and with a loud thud, it crashed into the Heart Lake of nearly a hundred million lives.
