0077 The Watch
The impregnation value is actually 48 points?
After reading the information given by [Materialism], Leon couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and turned his searching gaze to the red-haired director.
Didn't you say before that even if you choose the first one, you can only have 45 penetration points, and the third one can only have a maximum of 42? How is it so much higher now?
“……”
What do you see me doing? Hurry up and thank you!
After receiving Leon's gaze, the red-haired director couldn't help but glare at him again, then put his hand behind his back and secretly hooked his finger towards Leon's neck.
"Huh?"
After his neck was pulled slightly by the hair, Leon suddenly understood the reminder of the red-haired director, and hurriedly bowed down with his strength, and said with a sincere face of thanks:
"Thank you for your teachings, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the director, and I will not live up to this anomaly that you have created with your own hands!"
"Why is it so formal...... Hey......"
Easily seeing through the little tricks of the red-haired director, the silver-haired old lady couldn't help glaring at her, and then smiled helplessly:
"Really...... If I had known that this would be the way it is, I would have applied for identity secrecy in the first place, and now it is very troublesome to go anywhere, and I have to bow and say hello......"
"The bow and greeting are all voluntary and show respect for you from the bottom of your heart."
After hearing the silver-haired old lady's words, the red-haired director, who had never been very upright, actually straightened up this time and said with a serious expression:
"Your Excellency Taurus, whether it is your past achievements or the choices you will make in the future, this respect is all you deserve."
"Maybe...... But that's also really troublesome......"
After answering with a sigh of relief, the silver-haired old lady got up from the sofa and said goodbye:
"That's it, Olivia, I'm here to deliver something today, and by the way, I'll see how you're in the sixth game, and since everything is normal, then I won't bother you."
"You're welcome."
The red-haired director bowed respectfully, then secretly pulled Leon down, pulled him back, and looked at the Taurus director, who was no different from an ordinary old woman, walked to the window on the second floor with his back bent, and then disappeared without warning as if he had stepped into another world.
“……”
No wonder I didn't see the footprints, so you didn't take the stairs......
A trace appeared in his eyes, and then, seeing that the director who seemed to have a very high status left, Leon, who had been holding back his stomach for a while, finally couldn't help but ask:
"The ...... just now"
"That is one of the twelve directors, the Taurus directors of this generation, and the master of the bureau who is best at making anomalous objects."
After briefly explaining the identity of the old lady, the red-haired director said with some emotion:
"Originally, I thought it would be good to have a master craftsman to preside over the forging, but I didn't expect His Excellency Taurus to be free, not only took over the forging work of this thing, but even personally sent it over after the forging, your luck is really good."
So...... Is it because of this master's forging, that the impregnation value will be so much higher than expected?
After nodding his head in understanding, Leon peeked at her expression, and then asked:
"Director, are the twelve directors very strong? How do you compare? ”
"You're mistaken."
After glancing at Ang, the red-haired chief shook his head and said:
"The reason why I let you maintain respect for her is not because of how strong she is, nor because of how high her status is, but because of real admiration.
In a year at most, Lord Taurus will voluntarily give up his body and become a part of the [Watch Palace]. ”
"The Watchman?"
"It's an anomaly created by the Cleanup Bureau, hanging high above our world, and as for its specific role, as its name suggests, it exists as the watchman of all mankind, and it is the strongest and last barrier to protect this world."
After briefly explaining the role of the [Watch Palace], the red-haired director said with a complicated look in his eyes:
"Only individuals who love humanity from the bottom of their hearts can be called by the Watch House, and when they choose to accept the calling, they will be stripped of their flesh and most of their emotions, and only the purest will to watch over mankind will be led into the Watch House.
Her Excellency Taurus has accepted the call, and within a year she will go to the Watch Palace beyond the world to monitor the great disasters that will endanger the human world, and sit and watch in the dead void until even the last remaining will of her will is completely worn out by the merciless time. ”
Is this a watch? Is it sure that it is not a variant of life imprisonment?
After listening to the red-haired chief's explanation, Leon just imagined it according to her words, and felt his heart thrust.
Leaving the colorful world and the family who depend on each other, sitting alone in the dead void for an indefinite period of time, until even the will is completely swallowed up by loneliness, this is the most cruel torture for any intelligent being.
"Does it have to be so painful?"
After thinking about the gentle and kind face of the silver-haired old lady, and a little unbearable for what was about to happen to her, Leon couldn't help but ask:
"This anomaly was made by the bureau, right? Can you modify it a little bit to send people to take turns in the Watch Palace? At the very least, it would be good to change shifts. ”
"I can't."
The red-haired chief sighed and said:
"Only extremes can be remembered, only paranoia can dare to move forward, only madness can understand greatness...... This is a phrase that has been widely circulated in the bureau.
My understanding of it is that whether it is positive love or reverence, negative hatred or unwillingness, only these most extreme and purest things can truly have an impact on the world and give birth to the corresponding 'abnormal' existence. ”
When he said this, the red-haired director paused, then looked up at the sky outside the window, and said in a faint tone:
"The existence of the [Watchwatch] follows such a rule, its selection is not compulsory, and there is even a full ten years of preparation time before ascending to the palace, during which you can regret it at any time, and no one will remember that you have been called.
Most people in the bureau think that these ten years are just a cooling-off period for the elected, but I feel that whether it is the eternal watch that is extremely painful after that, or the trade-offs and deliberations in this ten years, it is actually the process of [watching the palace] to gain power, and it is a kind of selection and purification of the will to watch.
Only the pure will to go there even though we know that we are about to face a desperate future and can give up safely at any time can give birth to the infinite power that can run through the past and the future, enough to protect all mankind. ”
So that's what happened......
After finally figuring out why the usually unscrupulous director behaved so "obediently" today, Leon unconsciously took a deep breath, and his eyes also revealed deep reverence.
Even if you don't mention helping yourself create anomalous things, as one of the humans who have been blessed by the [Watch Palace], that silver-haired old lady should be respected by herself.
Well...... The Watchman...... I really didn't expect that the Cleanup Bureau still has such a great thing in its hands......
"Nourishing ......"
