Chapter 958: Causing Trouble Again
Chapter 958: Causing Trouble Again
I knew it...
As the Snake Director, drenched in the pure white oil of justice, struggled frantically inside the globular fruit, like a mouse that had fallen into an oil barrel, the red-haired Director couldn't help but sigh and then averted her gaze, unable to bear the sight.
You really are... Despite having a weak mind, you insist on thinking for yourself. If only you could break this bad habit of overthinking, you wouldn't have caused so much chaos!
However, just as the red-haired Director shook her head, preparing to use the Jishen Hu to shake the Snake Director out, a puzzled voice came from outside.
"What's going on with him?"
After using his power to scrub the Snake Director's Lake of Insight, Lyon frowned and took two steps back, only to be covered in oil. He then asked, "Director? Are you inside? What's happening to him? Do we need to take action?"
!!!
Upon hearing Lyon's question, the Snake Director, flailing in the oil, suddenly widened his eyes and glared at the red-haired Director with a mix of anger and astonishment. His eyes filled with indignation as he scolded, "You... gududu gududu gududu..."
"Don't overthink it."
The red-haired Director, well aware of the Snake Director's situation, helplessly explained as she glanced at him, his eyes rolling back in disgust from the oil, "I'm not colluding with Lyon to set you up. My intention was simply to have you meet him, to see how capable people truly are, so that you would quickly give up on your absurd plan."
Who would have thought that you would insist on being clever, believing you understand the present world better than him? Not only did you bring him into the Deephold Sanctuary, but you also actively offered to take him there... This is really not my fault.
"I don't believe it... gududu gududu... You... gududu gududu... are so cunning... gududu gududu... It must have been planned... gududu gududu... despicable!"
"..."
Fine, then. You can stay here and drink your innocence while I, the despicable one, will step out.
The red-haired Director shook her head as she looked at the Snake Director, who couldn't even open his mouth due to the oil, and then voluntarily broke free from the Jishen Hu, squeezing out of the globular fruit. She then asked curiously, "Lyon, is my Lake of Insight intact? How did you guess that I was also here?"
"Because of your abnormality."
Lyon, curious, glanced at the red-haired Director's snow-white hair and then retrieved a small notebook from the Mirror World. He flipped to the last page and showed it to her.
"Before deciding to come here, I asked Bull Lord for all the information about you and the Snake Director, especially regarding your primary combat abnormalities."
After examining the abnormalities circled in the notebook, the red-haired Director pondered for a moment and then asked uncertainly, "Could it be because of my 'Blessings and Calamities'?"
"Yes."
Lyon nodded slightly and then blinked, saying, "According to Bull Lord, every time you cause a major calamity, you gain a corresponding good fortune of the same level, bringing you one step closer to your current goal. Therefore, to achieve your goal, you must continuously cause trouble."
However, according to what Prince Vernon told me on the way here, it's been some time since your last calamity. So, you must have already achieved your purpose, or at least come close to it.
And since your purpose for coming to the Kalenv Kingdom is undoubtedly related to the Snake Director and his plan from years ago, you must have had contact with him, making it highly likely that you're by his side."
"..."
So that's how it is...
"Also, what the security officer said earlier was problematic."
Lyon, still adjusting to the red-haired Director's new hair color, couldn't help but stare at her hair for a moment before sighing in exasperation, "That security officer said he had a sickly sister and a younger brother still in school, and their entire family depended on his salary... Your setup was too targeted at me. I'd have to be pretty stupid not to realize he was up to something. Why didn't you just choose one of them?"
"This isn't my fault."
Upon hearing this, the red-haired Director's expression froze, and she replied with a hint of helplessness, "When the Snake Director was about to be exposed, I asked him to quickly come up with a pitiful story to see if he could bluff his way through. I even gave him three possible scenarios that might make you soften, meaning he could choose one of them."
Who knew he would be so quick-witted? I had only finished half of what I wanted to say, and before I could even tell him it was a multiple-choice question, he used all three examples together... Forget about him.
"Holding the unconscious Prince Vernon, the Red-haired Director carefully extracted the oily Jishen Hu from his body. Looking at the Snake Lord Director, who was still soaking in the oil inside the globular fruit, she couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
'Little Lyon~'
Using her slightly sticky and seductive tone after a long time, she called out Lyon's name. With a seemingly cheerful expression, she shook the oily globular fruit in her hand and said,
'Thank you so much this time~ If it weren't for your excellent performance, I might not have won the bet with him.'
'Bet?'
'I said that you are different from him. You are truly capable of changing the Purification Bureau and even the entire world, but he refuses to believe it.'
After giving Lyon an appreciative glance, the Red-haired Director smiled and said,
'Since he insists on not believing what I say, let's make a bet~ If your performance fails to convince him, I will have to help him with his plan against the Purification Bureau. But if you succeed and show him the hope of truly changing the world, he will have to agree to one of my requests.'
'...'
Wow... You two even bet on me...
Lyon couldn't help but speak up after seeing the beaming director in front of him.
'Director, you deliberately kept me in the dark and came to the Kingdom of Kalenv alone. Is it really just to make a bet with him?'
'Of course not~'
The Red-haired Director tapped the oily globular fruit and looked at the Snake Lord Director, who was gulping down the oil while glaring at her. She then raised her head to look at Lyon and pleaded with big, blinking eyes,
'Come on, Lyon~ Can you help me talk to him?'
'What should I say?'
'Just tell him that I am your closest partner and that what I do can also make the world a better place, so he must cooperate with me.'
'I can.'
After a moment of consideration, Lyon nodded and agreed to the Red-haired Director's request, but he didn't speak up immediately. Instead, he set a condition,
'But in exchange, you must tell me what you are really up to this time...'
'Does Her Majesty Veronica know about Emma?'
'?!?!'
Seeing Lyon's suddenly tense expression, the Red-haired Director smiled and said,
'If Her Majesty Veronica finds out that there is another devoted person waiting for her husband, and her ownership of her husband can only last until...'
'You are my closest partner! What you do can also make the world better! He must cooperate with you!'
'Hehe~ I love how understanding you are~'
(~3~)╭
'Cut it out!'
Lyon turned away to avoid the flying kiss from the Red-haired Director and said with a dark face,
'You can't just brush this off! I...'
'I'm causing trouble.'
As the sound of intense shattering grew louder in his ears, the Red-haired Director smiled and shook the globular fruit in her hand.
'This Deephold Sanctuary is maintained by the Anointing Seal. Snake Lord has too much faith in you. He emptied the savings of Deephold Sanctuary accumulated over six thousand years for you, and this place is about to collapse.'
'...'
'By the way.'
After flipping her wrist to put away the globular fruit, the Red-haired Director smiled and raised her hand, pointing at the ancient dome above the Deephold Sanctuary.
'The tradition of the Western Kingdom of Kalenv is cremation. The ashes of all my ancestors for the past six thousand years are placed in the upper levels. Remember to save a few urns later~'
'?!?!'
What do you mean by "I" remember to save a few urns? What about you? What are you going to do?
As Lyon stared at the beaming Red-haired Director, he suddenly realized what was happening. He quickly reached out to grab her, but she slipped away like a reflection on the surface of a lake, instantly transforming into Prince Vernon, who was filled with fear.
At the same time, the ancient dome of the Deephold Sanctuary shattered, causing the upper floors to collapse as well. Countless small white urns, mixed with broken floorboards and bricks, rained down like hail.
In the astonished gaze of Lyon and Prince Vernon, the white urns tilted, collided, and shattered in mid-air... Eventually, they turned into a dense and thick white snow curtain, falling gracefully.
