Chapter 144: Taboo
Give up the search for the Zeus because it is impossible to recover?
Fang Ziyu frowned slightly.
Why is Bailey Oldman so sure he can't recover the lost Zeus?
To the Dominator, the importance of the Celestial Artifact was second only to life, and unless the consequences were severe enough to threaten his life, Fang Ziyu could not think of any reason to give up on retrieving the Celestial Weapon.
If it were Fang Ziyu, if the Zeus was only unintentionally lost, then even if hundreds of attempts ended in failure, he would not give up.
"Can't get it back?" Ouyang Jie wondered, "Why are you sure that it can't be recovered?" Your artifact is the only one you can use, can you? For others, your artifact is nothing more than useless waste, and it won't be difficult to retrieve it as long as you offer a high bounty. ”
Bailey was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh at Ouyang Jie's innocence.
"It's a good idea, but it's too simplistic, even if my celestial artifact is accidentally lost, I don't dare to offer a public reward, which will not only expose my identity as a ruler to the eyes of my peers, but also tell other rulers that I have lost my celestial weapon."
"Oh, yes. I said it casually without seriously thinking about it. Ouyang Jie's cheeks flushed, trying to save his dignity.
"I know this explanation won't satisfy you, in fact, ......" Bailey thought for a moment and said something unexpected to Ouyang Jie, "I know where my Celestial Artifact is, oh no, it's not accurate to say that, it should be said, I know who my Celestial Artifact is." ”
"Huh?"
"You don't think I'm stupid enough to accidentally lose my artifact, do you? I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid to that point. Bailey smiled bitterly and sighed bitterly, "My artifact has been taken away by another Dominator, and he is so powerful that I am powerless to resist, and I cannot even raise the thought of resisting. ”
"Another Dominator snatched your artifact?" Ouyang Jie's eyes widened, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his shirt.
If Fang Ziyu hadn't kept his hands crossed all the time, he would probably have made the same move, revealing the position of his celestial weapon.
"Why? Could he have used the celestial weapons of the other Dominators? Ouyang Jie raised his voice to divert the attention of others.
"I don't think that's possible." Bailey shook his head.
"Why did you snatch your artifact when you can't use it?" Ouyang Jie was puzzled, "Why do you want to do a thankless job?" ”
"You're wrong, it's not a hard work. In the eyes of you and me, mortals are like ants, sometimes we look at some mortals who are not pleasing to the eye, and rewrite their fate, in the same way, in the eyes of more powerful rulers, you and I are also ants. Perhaps in the eyes of that person, I am not worthy of having a celestial weapon. Bailey's eyes welled up with a little reluctance, and then he was overwhelmed by fear.
"As for why you didn't just kill me and never suffer from it...... I think it has something to do with a saying that is circulating in the circles of dominators. It is said that the number of rulers and artifacts remains constant, and when one ruler dies, his artifact transforms and appears in the hands of another ruler in a way that no one can control. ”
"That is, if he kills me, there will be one more ruler in the world. I think it was for this reason that a ruler who had lost his artifact could possibly pose a threat to him in any way, and a nascent ruler who hid in an obscure corner could cause him trouble in a few years, and I think it was for this reason that he left my life behind. ”
Ouyang Jie picked up the teacup, tapped his fingertips lightly along the rim of the cup, and after going around a full circle, he suppressed the horror in his heart and asked, "Then why didn't he lock you up?" Allowing you to move freely in the outside world can have unpredictable consequences. He didn't think it was possible for you to find the Federal Mansion and confess everything? Even if the federal government can't pose a threat to him, then he didn't think that you might kill yourself or have an accident? ”
"If it were me, I would build an inescapable prison to imprison you forever, while at the same time providing you with the best medical care and living conditions until you die of natural causes due to old age." The more Ouyang Jie spoke, the more he felt that he was reasonable, and in a flash of inspiration, he also proposed a better plan, "This is not only insurance, but also can force you to use your own celestial weapon to provide him with information at any time when needed." ”
This proposal shocked Fang Ziyu's heart, if he had to be enemies of other dominators in the future, or encountered a dominator who was evil in nature, maybe he should really use this method to imprison them forever.
As for those who are innocent of death, hanging on to his dog's life day and night to torture them is also a more painful punishment than death.
"What do you mean...... Makes sense. Bailey's expression stiffened, "All I can say is I'm glad he didn't." ”
"Who the hell is he?" Ouyang Jie asked half-curiously and half-vigilantly, "Can you reveal his identity?" I'm also a dominator, so I need to be careful. ”
"It's not one of the five questions we agreed upon, and I don't think it's good to know too much. Believe me, if he were to do anything to you, your vigilance would be useless. Bailey obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore, and hurriedly changed the subject after a perfunctory remark, "Okay, let's talk about your last two questions." ”
Ouyang Jie still wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, it was indeed not good to pursue too much, if Bailey didn't want to answer, he could just make up a lie, and he couldn't verify it, so he simply nodded.
"First of all, the experience of working with the government department as a ruler?" Bailey nodded and shook his head, "I do have experience working with the Department of Health and Human Services, but not as a Dominator. A word of advice to you, it's best not to cooperate with the government department, and if you do, don't reveal anything related to the Dominator. ”
"Why? Could it be that some powerful rulers don't want to know about the existence of the rulers? ”
Thinking of this possibility, Ouyang Jie suddenly felt deeply worried about his situation.
"It's hard to say." Barrion lifted his chin and stared at the ceiling and whispered, "I only know that all the rulers who cooperate with the main government department do not end well, probably a mysterious taboo." ”
"So, what about a blatant confrontation with the federal intelligence agencies like me? Is it also considered a taboo? Ouyang Jie's fingers flicked back and forth on the porcelain cup, revealing the owner's worries.
"I don't know." Bailey raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, continuing, "Last question, I've heard about other Dominators, and I've had brief contact with them, but haven't kept in touch for long. If you want to know, I can tell you, in exchange, give me Albert. ”
