0147 Director's Past
"Don't get me wrong, that sheep isn't weak."
After the initial subsidence of the alcohol, the red-haired director returned to his usual "wise and martial" appearance, and even though he was shrunk in Leon's arms with his eyes closed, he still guessed his thoughts, and explained softly:
"At its peak, it was indeed the strongest great demon under the true god, but it was too greedy and refused to focus on one or two concepts like other demons, but chose the seven highest original sins in one go, hoping to become the top demon god.
Although its talent is good enough, it actually touches the concept of the seven original sin levels at the same time, but the personality is still a little worse after all, and it does not control the level of the seven original sins at the same time, so that the strength of the individual abilities is extremely thin.
And the abilities of anomalies of the same level, most of them specialize in one or one main and one auxiliary, but the strength of its seven concepts is almost the same, and it is normal that the upper limit is not comparable to others, or the ability is scattered like this, and it can barely squeeze into the top 100 numbers, which is already considered to be its talent."
So that's what happened......
After recalling the situation of the black goat, Leon's eyes couldn't help but flash a sudden look, but he quickly shook his head again.
"That's still the top 100, the higher the ranking, the more difficult it must be, Director, you have a number 004 and a number 013 in your hand, even if I have collected all the haggis...... Forehead...... Collecting all the parts of the black goat is far from comparable."
After hearing Leon's words, the red-haired chief couldn't help but open his eyes and glanced back at him.
Yes, the anomalies that can only be squeezed into the top 100 numbers are indeed not comparable to the [Twelve Ant Nests] of No. 004 and the [Killing Blood Hair] of No. 013, but if you were someone else, would you think of comparing with me at the first time?
"It doesn't have to be comparable."
Without exposing Leon's unintentional exposure of "ambition", after shrinking into the warm embrace behind him, the red-haired director closed his eyes again and said in a calm voice:
"The number of anomalies changes, and the anomaly number 013, which was originally numbered 116, became anomaly 013 after it fell into my hands."
116 to 013? What a step forward!
After hearing the red-haired chief's words, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked with curiosity in his eyes:
"There were more than a hundred people directly across the ...... What have you done, Director?"
What have I done......
The red-haired director shook his head when he heard this, and did not answer Leon's words, but turned sideways slightly, put his palm into Leon's collar, untied the hair tied around his neck, and then grabbed the end of the red hair and gently tapped Leon's fingertips.
[Name: Kill Bloodhair-941026 (Kill, Scarlet)]
[Appearance: A bright red hair, if you rub it with your soul, you will feel a faint bloody gas, as well as an old man's resentful insults and curses]
[Ability: Kill, Proliferate, Crimson Domain]
[Price: While your mind is clear, you will be subjected to endless abuse from those who have been killed]
[File: After the failure of the Scarlet Lord's arrival, the previous generation of Taurus directors gathered up his remains and created this growth anomaly, and each time the owner killed a human, he added a new blood-colored hair that could be controlled.
Due to the harsh growth conditions, even after two generations of holders, a total of one hundred and thirty years of cultivation, the number of Killing Blood Hair has only just exceeded 10,000, and the effect shown is not proportional to the precious materials consumed, and this anomaly was once considered a complete failure.
However, in the Ophia Erosion Incident, Olivia, the third holder of the Bloodhair, was forced to use the anomaly "Thirteen Ant Nests" to completely destroy the Ophieutrian Branch of the Cleanup Bureau and the East Kalevin Kingdom, and the number of Blood Hair skyrocketed to 129.6 million overnight, which was basically the same as the total population before the fall of the East Kalevin Kingdom.
[Evaluation: This is the most dangerous and terrifying of the anomalies you have seen so far, if the holder is willing, it only takes five seconds to slaughter all the living creatures in the entire royal capital]
[Imprehension Value: Undetermined, increases with the number of blood hairs activated at the same time]?!!!
129.6 million ...... Person?!!!
……
"Looks like you already know the answer."
Feeling Leon's suddenly stiffened body and his unconsciously suddenly released arm, the red-haired director sighed faintly, then gently pushed Leon's arm away, left the long-lost warm embrace behind him, sat up from the sofa, and said calmly:
"Do you want to leave the *** bureau?"
Looking into Leon's shocked eyes, the red-haired director, who still had a slight wine on his cheeks, whispered:
"If you want to change jobs, Beverly, the head of the Lion Bureau, is familiar with me and is very interested in your abilities, so I can recommend you to you, and I guarantee that the treatment will be the same as here.
She doesn't have a too outrageous past except for being too fond of snacks, and she's an out-and-out good person, and you should be able to live ...... there."
"Director."
After interrupting the red-haired chief's words, Leon asked with some hesitation:
"Thirteen Ant Nests...... Is that the anomaly number 004? What is the relationship between the East Kalevin Kingdom and the Northern Callevin Kingdom? What's the matter with the snake man destroying the country?"
"These words......
After staring at Leon, the red-haired director's lips twitched, and then he turned his head slightly and explained in turn:
"Thirteen Ant Nests...... After the disappearance of the East Kalevin Kingdom, it should now be called [Twelve Ant Nest], corresponding to the remaining twelve kingdoms, and you should be able to guess its ability without saying anything.
As for the kingdom of Donkalevin...... The current Kalevin Kingdom, formerly known as the West Kalevin Kingdom, is separated by a river from it is the site of the original East Kalevin Kingdom.
The Ophiuman Eclipse refers to a rebellion launched by the Ophiuman Branch of the East Kalevin Kingdom, where the director of the Ophiuen Branch tried to sacrifice the entire East Kalevin Kingdom to ascend to the gods and turn half of the world into his kingdom.
Unable to accept this result, after nine rounds of voting by the twelve directors, eight of the four abstentions finally decided to use the [Thirteen Ant Nest] to destroy the East Kalevin Kingdom first, and forcibly thwart his plan, and I am the executor in charge of doing it.
Since then, the thirteen ant nests have become twelve ant nests, and the number of sub-bureaus has changed from 88 to 87 now, and the internal investigation and control have become more and more stringent, and any behavior that crosses the line will be severely punished......
I see......
After listening to the red-haired director's words, Leon finally sorted out the general context, and then said with a complicated look in his eyes:
"So the people upstairs scolding you...... It's ...... in the first place."
"Just what you think......
After a vague response, the red-haired director avoided his gaze, and then said with a somewhat gloomy look:
"The original people of the *** bureau also left after that time, and they can't be blamed, after all, there are more than 100 million on their heads...... Well...... Leon, you can't accept this kind of thing, and if you want to leave, I can understand your feelings."
「……」
After getting up and sitting on the large sofa, and sitting in silence with the red-haired director for a while, Leon did not say whether he wanted to leave or not, but asked softly:
"Director, may I ask you a question?"
After hearing Leon's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the red-haired director's eyes, but he still nodded:
"You ask."
"Suppose there is a train that is about to pass through a fork in the road......
After a little recollection, Leon spoke:
"There are twelve people tied to the track in front of the train, and one person tied to the other track, and you are holding the joystick in your hand to change the track, so will you pull the joystick and let the train go to the other track and save the twelve people in front of you?"
"I ......"
After subconsciously clenching his fists, the redhead bureau
The chief did not answer the question immediately, but bit his lip and asked:
"Are you talking about me? But the two situations are different......
"So are you going to pull the joystick and let it crash into the people who wouldn't have died, or do you just let it go and let the train continue to crash into the twelve?"
Leon insisted.
"I...... I don't know."
"Of course you don't."
Leon nodded, and said softly:
"Because you're not that person at all, the voting directors are that person, you're just the lever that's being held."
「……」
"Thank you for your comfort......
Seeing that Leon seemed to be ready to free himself, the red-haired director smiled reluctantly, and then said with a gloomy look in his eyes:
"But these two things are really different, I'm not just a puppet who obeys orders, I have the ability to refuse to pull the 'joystick', but I didn't refuse in the end, but ...... it myself."
"If you refuse, you're just a passerby passing by with a leather stick, and another person with a new joystick will put you back in your original position and send the train to the road where only one person is tied."
「……」
"Director, sometimes people really don't think too much of themselves."
「……」
After waiting for a while, looking at the red-haired director who was still pursing his lips and remaining silent, Leon shook his head and said:
"I'm not going to say anything like you didn't make a wrong choice, or that they would die sooner or later if they were sacrificed, and that you might as well die at your hands and save others, and that you should do it.
After all, if I were from the East Kalevin Kingdom, I would have scolded you fiercely upstairs, and scolded you more fiercely than anyone else, and by the way, I scolded you with the entire clean-up bureau, hoping that you would be hit by the carriage and killed when you went out tomorrow, and then you would be run over seven or eight times on the spot.
But now, since I am one of the twelve people who were tied to the original orbit, and I was really saved by your choice, then I have no right to scold you, including those seniors who left the bureau, they can choose to leave you, but they are not qualified to blame you."
"You're really...... It's not that there are no people who persuade me, but no one really says that like you......
After shaking his head with a strange expression, looking at Leon in front of him, although his strength was very weak, but his heart seemed to be stronger than himself, the red-haired director couldn't help but look at him, and asked rhetorically:
"What if it's you? What would you do? Let the train keep going and crash into the twelve men tied to the tracks?"
"I'll try to find the kidnapper first, and then press his head into the train's boiler."
"You're a ...... How can you be fooled?"
"No, that's what I thought."
Leon shook his head, met the red-haired director's slightly disgusted gaze, and said with a serious face:
"Director, I'm a person who doesn't have a lot of security, and I'll tell you the truth, ever since I knew the truth about this world, I've been craving power, very, very longing!
And the main reason for my pursuit of strength is to be able to have the ability to kill the dog that tied people directly when this kind of problem arises, without having to do this kind of multiple-choice question that never has the right answer."
"That...... What if you've done everything you can and still run into this kind of problem?"
"In that case......
Leon hesitated for a moment, then took something out of his arms and flashed it at the red-haired chief.
"Seeing which side my family is tied to, I will just break the train to the other side, and then honestly face the scolding of more than 100 million people, and then drink heavily every day like you, so as not to be scolded when I am sober."
「……」
Looking at the small wine bottle in Leon's hand, the red-haired director couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, and said with some irony:
"Isn't that the same as me? You're a ......."
"Yes, yes."
Unscrew the cap and drink
After taking a sip, Leon smiled helplessly:
"I've tried my best, but I can't solve the problem, so what can I do? It's shameful, but it's useful, isn't it?"
"Yes! It's very useful!"
Looking at the shiny little wine bottle in Leon's hand, the red-haired director's eyes couldn't help but bend, and he laughed with him, still with a hint of burgundy, like a cuckoo blooming in the garden.
The curses in his ears were still crazy and miserable, the weight of his heart was still as heavy as a dark cloud, and the deep guilt that had been tormenting him was still as sharp and cold as usual, and the stinging pain that went deep into the flesh with a sharp weapon did not lessen at all.
But I don't know why, but I suddenly don't feel so scared in my heart, if I have to find a reason, probably someone not only respects their choice, but even their own weakness and evasion, all of which are recognized by the other party.
Well...... At this time, you should still drink something!
Reaching out and snatching the small wine bottle in Leon's hand, after raising his slender neck and drinking it all, the red-haired director licked the slightly spicy wine on his lips, threw away the empty wine bottle in his hand, and greeted with the strength of the wine:
"I just borrowed money from Emma during the day! Walk! I invite you to drink! Drink the most expensive!"
……
The people at the sub-bureau are really ...... It's so unbelievable!
After knocking on the door for a long time and getting no response, through the window of the director's office, they saw a mountain of empty wine bottles on the ground, and a man and a woman sleeping with blankets on the table, the two investigators couldn't help but shake their heads, and then took out the questionnaire at the same time, wrote a few lines on it, and then hit two big red crosses.
The director takes the lead in alcoholism! Indulge all night long! Suspected of a man and a woman in the bureau! If Ryan doesn't mention it in advance, the atmosphere and business rating must be downgraded severely!
