Chapter 187 Brother and sister’s night talk and the final arrival of the goods
"elder brother?"
After walking out of the inner room with a clean small bag, she found that the baby-faced girl had disappeared, leaving only Leon standing by the door. Anna couldn't help but curiously said:
"Where's Miss Amy?"
"I don't have much time to stay at home. I still have something to ask you, so I'll ask her to go home first."
Turning his head and looking out the window, he found that the strong old man was about to climb in. Leon was ready to make a long story short, grabbed his sister's shoulders, and said seriously: "Anna, tell me..."
"When did you and Sister Veronica happen?"
"ah?"
Looking at Leon who was a little stunned, Anna bit her lower lip lightly as she asked the question first, and then whispered with some complaint: "That's... how did you meet? How did you decide to get married? Why did you completely You haven’t told me yet?”
"..."
"Well...can I say that I'm actually still confused?"
After a slight hesitation, Leon explained:
"Anna, you should know that there are actually many things in this world that are not within the 'normal range'. Just like your photo, they have all kinds of incredible abilities.
As for Miss Veronica, she was influenced by something similar, causing everyone in the kingdom to lose their memory of her, including you and me. "
What? Has everyone forgotten about her? !
When she first heard about the photo, Anna couldn't help but feel nervous and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her skirt. But after hearing what happened to the princess, she couldn't help being surprised and sympathetic:
"Then...doesn't she have nothing? Not only has she lost her identity, she has even lost her friends, family...lovers...all of these?"
"Yes."
After getting a positive answer from Leon, Anna suddenly fell into silence.
In this situation of suddenly losing everything, if it were him, he would probably collapse directly. However, sister Veronica not only did not show any pain, she was even able to chat and laugh with herself yesterday.
Except for the slightly heavy circles under my eyes, which showed that I didn't sleep very well at night, there was almost nothing abnormal on the surface. It was really...
"She is so strong..."
"Well, she is indeed a very 'powerful' person."
Understanding what his sister was lamenting, Leon, who had seen the princess's soul, nodded in agreement.
In the black goat's soul vision, everyone's soul has its own "background color", which does not refer to real colors such as red, orange, yellow, and green, but a feeling closer to the essence.
Anna's background is desire and warmth, policewoman Isa's background is compassion and responsibility, and Princess Veronica's soul background is unparalleled and extremely tenacious, with a belief that is almost terrifying, as if she was born without knowing. What is despair.
And this belief is not the kind of confidence that you will succeed, but the kind that even if you know that the chance is slim, you will still continue to move forward without hesitation, even if your legs are worn flat. Stop, the realization that there is no end but death.
Well... In a sense, her brother's soul actually felt the same way. The "hardness" of the souls of the two royal family members she had come into contact with was amazing.
However, if Princess Veronica's background is called faith, then her brother's background can only be called arrogance. Even if he suffered a mixed doubles match with senior Emma and had several teeth knocked out, That guy still looks down on himself from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe this is the inheritance of the royal family!
……
After shaking his head slightly and no longer thinking about the strange soul of the freckled prince, Leon looked at the progress of the strong old man climbing up the window, then looked at his sister who looked admiring and a little envious, and asked seriously:
"Anna, can you tell me what you were thinking about after seeing Miss Veronica yesterday?"
ah? What am I thinking?
Being slightly startled by Leon's words, Anna hesitated for a moment and then replied:
"Just...envy her?"
"Is it just envy?"
"I also kind of...want to be someone like her..."
After subconsciously glancing at the papayas placed in the kitchen, Anna whispered with some envy: "My health is not good, but sister Veronica is very healthy and energetic; I am a little too thin, And her... body shape is particularly good; so is her personality.
Contrary to me who can't talk much, she is talkative, cheerful, and has a charm that makes people believe in her... very similar to my mother's personality in my memory. "
After recalling the past, Anna's eyes were full of warmth and she said:
"Actually, when I was a child, I wanted to be like her and my mother, but I really couldn't do it."
"..."
So... Princess Veronica is Anna's "ideal type", and Anna's envy after coming into contact with her, and the idea of becoming her, led to the "warm home" being repaired and turned into a "warm home" that can replace others. if】?
It feels... quite reasonable, but the degree seems a little wrong.
It can change the abilities of abnormal objects, so the thought "It would be great if I were her" would probably be quite strong. If it was just pure envy, would Anna have such a strong thought?
After frowning and thinking for a while, he was worried that if he returned the photo to Anna, she would really replace the princess. Leon did not take out the photo, but grabbed Anna's shoulders and said seriously:
"What else? Is this really all there is? Think about it again! Is there anything else?"
Other words...
The sickly girl couldn't help biting her lower lip when she heard the words. The figure of a crying man flashed in her mind, and then she looked at Leon with a complicated expression.
If you let yourself get the photos of your family, and after that man gets them, everything is restored by him, and you, William, and Melanie all regain their original lives, and I will no longer be your family.
If this happens, I will be alone again, and your family will only be sister Veronica. I really envy her...
But it was precisely because I used that photo six years ago that I deprived you of your original life and made you leave your real family. I...I am qualified to stop that man and prevent him from changing everything back. On the original track?
I don’t have…
After opening and closing her lips slightly twice, Anna, who looked a little gloomy, shook her head and replied in a low voice:
"I didn't..."
"You do! Anna! You must be hiding something from me!"
Even without using his soul vision, Leon could see the hesitation in his sister's heart.
Forget it if it’s something else, everyone has their own secrets, but what Anna doesn’t want to say is mostly related to the abnormal objects created by Director Aquarius, so there is absolutely no room for ambiguity!
“I don’t know why you kept it from me, but it has something to do with that photo, right?”
After mobilizing the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant and throwing out the strong old man who had crawled in, Leon grabbed his sister's shoulders, stared into her eyes and said extremely seriously:
"Anna! Listen to me!
Whether you want to escape past mistakes, think it might be better for me to hide it, or for any other reason, never do this! "
After a slight pause, looking at his sister who did not deny it, Leon continued to emphasize while thinking: "I am your brother. If you have made any mistakes, just tell me directly! I will do my best to help. Let’s make up for it together!
If it’s for my own good, then there’s no need to hide it from me! I’ll have to decide my own affairs. You can try to convince me, but you’re not allowed to make choices for me!”
"I...I just..."
"Don't say anything else. You can only choose to tell me now, or choose to continue hiding it from me."
After secretly touching the horns of the black goat and checking Anna's soul state, Leon's expression softened slightly and he said warmly: "As I said just now, you have to make your own choice, I can't do it for you. Choice, but I still hope you can tell me the situation.
Anna, you have to be prepared. If you continue to hide it from me, I will be very angry, very, very angry!
But you can rest assured, because I am your brother, so no matter how angry I am, I will definitely forgive you sooner or later! Now you can start choosing! "
But although the choice is yours, if you still choose to hide it from me after I have said this, then I will go to the director soon and find a way to borrow an abnormal object that can read minds!
"I..."
She didn't know the despicable plan in Li Shuangbiao's heart. Looking at Leon who still chose to trust her and give back the choice at this time, Anna couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she whispered softly with a slight sob:
"I choose to tell you! I will tell you everything!"
…
"What? Director Aquarius has already been to the capital? And he has also been to your house?"
After listening to the news that Leon selectively relayed, even the usually calm red-haired director was still shocked by the news.
"Yes, and very recently, the night before the bureau investigators came down."
After telling what happened to Anna and the conversation between her and Director Aquarius, Leon gritted his teeth with fear on his face and said: "Director, this person is really dangerous, and he is probably planning something extremely dangerous. Couldn’t the internal questioning of him be brought forward a little earlier?”
"Can't mention it."
The red-haired director shook his head helplessly and said:
“The year-end review in six days is already the fastest time I can think of, and there is really no way to move it forward...
Hmm... If you are worried about the safety of your family, you can ask your brothers and sisters to take a leave of absence from school for the next few days and temporarily live in the bureau. I will protect them and go back after the review at the end of the year. "
"I think so too...Thank you, Director!"
After sincerely thanking the red-haired director, feeling that the pressure on his body finally relaxed, Leon couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then took out the photo and handed it over.
"Director, although I don't know why Aquarius wants it, what he wants to do is what we should stop. It's better to leave this thing with you. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep it."
Is that photo a substitute for identity?
After looking at Princess Veronica's appearance in the photo, the red-haired director pondered for a moment, and then did not take the photo. Instead, he took out a dirty small mirror from the drawer and shook it towards the photo.
Looking at the photo that flickered slightly and then changed from one photo to two, Leon couldn't help but opened his eyes in surprise.
This is? Copy type anomaly? Could it be that the director wants to...
"This thing is called [Duplicate]. It is one of the abnormal objects that I hold privately. It is also a numbered abnormal object. Its true strength is about 30.
As for the ability, just like the name, it can make an identical copy of anything, including abnormal objects, but the ability will be attenuated to a certain extent, and only one copy can exist at the same time.
In addition, as long as the replica is not destroyed, it will continue to consume my power. The longer it lasts, the greater the power it consumes. It is a troublesome anomaly with many restrictions... but the effect is still very useful. Especially when used for fishing. "
After pushing one of the photos over, looking at Leon with a sudden look in his eyes, as if he understood something, the red-haired director couldn't help but curled up his lips and said with a smile: "It seems you have guessed it. , I have not reported it to the bureau regarding [Copy into Pairs]. The water bottle should be unclear, and it is just used to try to set him up.
And in order to prevent him from having the ability to sense the location of abnormal objects, and then use some weird and weird abnormal objects to steal things, as insurance I only put fake photos here, and the real photos are placed in your small mirror.
As for safety issues, you don't have to worry. For creatures in the non-mirror world, everything in the mirror is just an illusory reflection, not even an actual form. They will never be able to find it if you don't take it out. "
What a great guy, the director who can fish and have double insurance, and is not drunk is so reliable!
“Okay!”
After looking at the red-haired director with some admiration, Leon was about to put the photo away when he saw the red-haired director take out a small box, put it next to the real photo and push it over.
"This is?"
"That sheep's heart...um...is called [Heart of Ambition], right?"
Looking at Leon, whose eyes were suddenly filled with joy, the red-haired director smiled and said:
"Although the evaluation was shockingly low, you did pass the bureau's investigation. About the time you and Emma slapped Prince Joshua, the bureau sent someone to deliver the things."
"Forehead……"
"You were the one who took the lead in beating him, right?"
Looking at Leon, who looked a little embarrassed, the smile on the red-haired director's face dropped, and he squinted his eyes and said: "Although Emma said she did it, and you were just redressing the injustice for her, the truth is that it shouldn't be used Let me tell you, do you know how long the complaint letter that idiot prince sent to the General Administration was?"
"..."
"He complained that our bureau neglected its duties, violated the agreement between the cleanup bureau and the kingdom, ignored the safety of the royal family members, failed to arrest illegal anomaly holders, wantonly beat the heir to the throne, and the cleanup mission affected innocent people, causing the great nobles to almost be exterminated... ...I wrote more than thirty articles in total!
It’s really lucky that you beat him today and the complaint letter was sent before the review at the end of the year. Otherwise, based on the intensity of his complaint this time, we might still have him next year. Gotta be at the bottom!”
"..."
After a few nagging complaints, the red-haired director habitually took the wine bottle and wanted to take a sip to relieve his sorrow, but after thinking about it, he put it back and picked up a cup of hot tea instead, smiling. He said to Leon who looked embarrassed: "Little Leon~ you have caused me so much trouble today, do you have to take on a slightly more difficult task to make it up to me?"
"..."
Looking at the narrowed fox eyes of the red-haired director, Leon instinctively felt that something was wrong, but Nahe had just been scratched and had a sore leg, so he had to nod his head resignedly.
"good……"
"That's good!"
After reaching out and clicking on the photos on the table, the red-haired director smiled and said:
"After I lure the water bottle away through inspection and make sure there is no danger, how about you use it to go undercover in the gang?"
