Chapter 415 Good Guys and Bad Guys
“Okay.”
After hearing the instructions from Director Aquarius, the female reporter nodded and took the glass lantern from his hand. However, she did not immediately set off to the dream world. Instead, she bit her lips and said with some hesitation:
"Director, can I ask you a question?"
"sure."
After hearing the female reporter's words, Director Aquarius, who looked very young but whose eyes were full of staleness, turned around, smiled gently, and said with a kind expression:
"Nicole, just ask whatever you want, and I will tell you whatever I can answer... Also, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me. You are one of the few people I can trust, and I hope you can trust me more." ”
"OK……"
After hearing the words of Director Aquarius, the female reporter relaxed a little, and then asked softly: "Director, the people in the Virgin Branch have repeatedly ruined your plans, and even caused your soul to be damaged, so you have to follow King of Nightmares, Xu and Wei Snake...don't you have any resentment?"
"I'm afraid what you want to ask is not whether I have any grievances, but why didn't I just take the opportunity to take action and deal with the Blood-haired Princess or that Leon?"
"Um……"
After revealing what the female reporter really wanted to ask, Director Aquarius did not answer her question directly, but asked with a smile: "Nicole, can you tell me, who do you think I am? What kind of person?"
After hearing the words of Director Aquarius, the female reporter couldn't help but be startled, then lowered her head slightly and whispered: "You are my benefactor. Without you, I would have died when I was seven years old. It was you who took care of me." I was rescued from the privateer ship of the Kingdom of Saio, and gave me the ability and opportunity to take revenge..."
"Nicole, you know, the question I'm asking is not about the relationship between you and me, but what do you think of me."
After interrupting the female reporter to give her answer, Director Aquarius couldn't help laughing and said:
"Forget it... Although you chose to avoid talking, you still answered my question in disguise.
In your eyes, I should be a bad guy who is obsessed with the secret of abnormal creation. In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, he will do whatever it takes. As long as he can achieve his goal, I will sacrifice anything. I am an evil madman who deserves to die...right? "
"No!"
The female reporter couldn't help but said anxiously after hearing this:
"Director... Although your methods are a bit extreme, you have also done a lot of good things and saved many people. In fact, you..."
"I'm actually a bad person."
After opening his mouth to define himself, Director Aquarius's smile faded slightly, and then he said calmly:
"To you, I am a benefactor, but to more people, I am indeed worthy of death."
"..."
"Although the number of people who died because of me is far less than the number of people I have protected for more than a hundred years, it may not even be even a fraction.
But in the process of researching the secret technique of abnormal creation, I actually did a lot of bad things. In order to create abnormal objects or obtain secret materials, I left people in dire straits unchecked, secretly encouraged them, and even caused them with my own hands. A tragedy that ruined his life.
Even when I rescued you as a young child from a privateer in the Kingdom of Saio, it was not because of any good intentions, but because I noticed your outstanding talent and thought that you were a good seedling that could breed top-notch abnormal objects.
Nicole, although you never want to admit it, I am indeed a bad person. "
"..."
Looking at the silent female reporter, Director Aquarius smiled and said: "Let me ask you, a few years ago, when the omnics of the Kingdom of Croc put the royal family under house arrest, sealed off the Gemini branch, and quietly controlled all the cleaners, Do you know why I only saved you?"
The female reporter hesitated and said:
"Because... I am a first-level cleaner? And the strongest in the bureau?"
"no."
Director Aquarius shook his head and said:
“Because you are a good person.”
"???"
"Haha, you are different from the other people in the bureau who are willing to follow me. Although they obey my orders and can even stand on my side and conceal my various violations, they do not really recognize me. .
Those people are either used to obeying, are afraid of my power, or want to obtain stronger abnormal objects. But you are different. The reason why you follow me is very simple gratitude. Thank you for saving your life. , be grateful that I gave you the ability to take revenge. "
"..."
"Once my affairs are exposed, people who are used to obeying me will obey the Cleanup Bureau without any worries; people who fear my power will naturally fear the more powerful Cleanup Bureau, and those who want to benefit from me, Of course, you will be moved by the benefits that I cannot provide.
Nicole, only you, your purpose of following me is simpler than anyone else, you just want to repay the favor. "
Looking at the silent female reporter, Director Aquarius smiled, then counted with his fingers: "Although you hate my behavior very much, you always secretly sabotage my experiments, destroying many possibilities. The abnormal objects that were born, I even privately reported it to the bureau several times, hoping that someone would stop me.
Including this time, when you went to steal the Blood-haired Princess's wallet, you could obviously not show your face at all, but you went there without changing your appearance. It was a special reminder to them that besides the Nightmare King, they should be careful. Me, right? "
"..."
When he said this, Director Aquarius paused slightly, then continued with a smile: "But at this time, you who are trying to remind the Blood-haired Princess to be careful about me are worse than those in the Gemini Branch who have never been People who are against me are much more reliable.
As long as you think of the past where I saved your life, raised you, and helped you avenge you, and feel that I haven't repaid my kindness to you, you will never really betray me. "
"..."
"Hmm... As people get older, they tend to talk about a lot of things. I seem to have gone a bit off topic."
Looking at the female reporter who pursed her lips unconsciously, Director Aquarius smiled and said: "In short, although I am a bad person, I do things for a purpose. I am not the kind of lunatic who likes killing and destruction. , cooperating with the Nightmare King is just a helpless move.
I have no grudges against the people in the kingdom, so there is no need to harm them. Moreover, if the Nightmare King really invades reality, it will not only be of no benefit to me, but will also make me controlled by him. Of course, I will not help it.
As for why I didn't sneak attack the Blood-haired Princess and that Leon while they couldn't free their hands, and get rid of these two guys who have been causing trouble for me... Well... there are many reasons, but the main one is that I can't beat them. "
"ah?"
"I really can't beat it."
Raising his finger to point at the long river of nightmares that was rapidly closing under the sunlight, Director Aquarius said with a bit of toothache: "It's only been half of the night, and the number of nightmares killed by the Blood-haired Princess is close to one million, and this time Or her record was mainly to prevent nightmares from rushing into the real world without taking too much initiative to attack.
The more than 100 million [Slaughter Blood Hair] in the hands of the Blood-haired Princess are the top physical damage-type abnormal objects in the Cleanup Bureau. If consumption is not considered at all, it only takes fifty hours to penetrate the moon.
Any individual who needs to rely on flesh and blood to exist will be naturally at a disadvantage when facing her. One of the basic rules of this world is that it must rely on flesh and blood to stay for a long time. She is almost invincible in this world. "
