0299 Life-saving apples
Am I always unlucky?
After hearing the lazy young man's inquiry, Leon, who was surprised, couldn't help but look solemn, and hurriedly asked:
"Yes! My luck has never been very good, no matter how well I plan, every time I carry out a mission, something will go wrong, and I will always encounter some inexplicable dangers, and even watch a scene where I can encounter anomalies that suddenly go out of control...... Do you have any clues, senior?"
"Clue...... It's not so much a clue as an experience......
After throwing the sour apple in his hand and smashing the picture frame on the wall on the side of the staircase, the lazy young man said with a sad face:
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of us should be in a similar situation, both of us have angered the will of the world because of something, and we are hated by the world."
"Hated by the world? What does this mean?"
"To put it simply, it's inexplicably unlucky and unsmooth."
After seeing that the nails were slowly dislocated and the frame that had fallen down the stairs, the lazy young man pulled Leon forward and sighed:
"I don't know what your situation is, but my situation is that I have leaked too much about the future, erased some things that should have happened, and changed the direction of the world a lot, so I was disgusted by the will of the world.
For example...... You know the Aquarius director, right? Did the Director tell you that my core anomaly, the pair of dice that can measure probability, was created for me?"
"I did say something......
"If the Director had told you about it, it would have been more than just 'some,' and it would have been a lot."
The lazy young man said helplessly:
"She also told you to guard against me, don't believe me completely, right?"
"Forehead ......"
"It's okay, the Director is right."
Amid the screeching sound of the heavy solid wood frame falling down and smashing the handrail of the staircase, the lazy young man explained to Leon, who was a little embarrassed:
"Director Aquarius's target was poked out by you, and now the management members of the various sub-bureaus already know that he is planning to infiltrate the Watch Palace, but I am actually the first to know about his target, and I can even be regarded as conspiring with him, and the director is right for you to be careful of me."
"Huh?"
"Hey, it's mainly my own bad luck......
After sighing faintly, the lazy young man muttered with a difficult face:
"When the anomaly was created, the director of the Aquarius asked me about my abilities, and I told him, and then he became interested and asked me to do him a small favor.
The Aquarius Director's anomalous creation secret technique is quite exquisite, and I don't know how many people in the Cleanup Bureau have used the anomalies he created, and the connections and His Excellency Taurus have a fight, this kind of big guy is kind enough to ask you to help, can you help if you change your words?"
「……」
In my words...... In the face of the request of a director who has a high reputation and status, and can also make anomalous objects, I am afraid that he will also agree......
"Right?"
After seeing the color of recognition in Leon's eyes, the lazy young man couldn't help but grumble:
"I'm so unlucky, who knew he could harbor evil intentions as a director? So I agreed without thinking about it, until he gave me a message prohibiting leaks, and I realized that it didn't seem right, but by then it was too late."
After avoiding the handrail that fell to the side after being smashed, and pushing Leon's back by the way, and taking him down before the suspended stone staircase collapsed, Tom said with a gloomy face:
"Director Aquarius has a ritual anomaly that can temporarily uplift Leon's value, he forcibly poured me with a lot of true god flesh, temporarily changed my race, forced me to drink his blood, cut open my arm and stuffed his carrion, and planted his lost teeth in the center of my eyebrows......
After pointing to the strange scar on his eyebrows, the lazy young man gritted his teeth and said:
"After a hard twist, he forced my Lyon to close to 70 and then forced me to play the dice
Zi helped him calculate how to let him replace the next ascendant and become the new ascendant to the Watch Palace.
And I was forced to help out and increased his original probability of winning the palace from only 12% to 66%, but he was also hated by the world because of this, and now he is about to fall into bad luck at every turn...... Feed! Is there anyone up there? The stairs suddenly collapsed, and we couldn't go back!"
I didn't know that the person who was questioning below was the culprit who smashed the nearly fifty-meter-long staircase, and after hearing Tom's senior's question, the person who heard the movement above hurriedly replied:
"We're figuring it out...... How are you doing? If you don't feel well, please keep going down, our Governor of the Maseni family is also down there, he can help you get up, and this is the token you need to continue down, you can take it!"
With the somewhat vague shout of the man above, a bright silver cat's paw badge was dropped, bouncing twice between the wreckage and ruins of the staircase, and then falling into the palm of the lazy young man's outstretched hand with great precision.
"Alright, my badge is also in hand, let's talk as we go."
After pinning the badge smashed back with the sour apple to the collar, the lazy young man explained as he continued downward with Leon:
"The world loves humans, and compared to the demons who turn the entire earth into lava, the evil gods who prepare to make the sun never rise, the children of the moon who want to hollow out the center of the earth like the moon, or the prehistoric people who want to freeze everything and return to the frozen age, we humans are the gentlest beings to her, and even consciously maintain her stability.
Therefore, any existence that can cause danger to humanity and the world, or that has the potential to destroy this stability, will be invisibly rejected by the will of the world, and the will of the world cannot directly kill us, so we can only use some out-of-the-ordinary means to make us unstable elements endlessly unlucky, trying to kill us or get rid of us."
「……」
No...... Can it still be like this?
"Don't worry, this disgust from the world isn't entirely bad."
Looking at Leon, who was a little stunned, the lazy young man didn't know where to find an apple and handed it over, and said with a complicated expression:
"The wheel of fortune is equal for everyone, and it can't always be kept low, so we, the unlucky ones who are hated by the world, as long as we can withstand the bad luck given by the will of the world, we will usher in a surge of fate.
However, after the surge, it was followed by a more ferocious decline.
Compared with the fate of others, which is only a small fluctuation, the fate of people like you and me is like a wavy line that fluctuates more and more strongly, and the gains and crises encountered will continue to grow, until they become a god who transcends everything on a towering crest, or in a fatal trough, they are transported to the world of the dead by sudden mold."
Is it either "god" or "ghost"?
Feel Tom Senpai
It didn't seem like he was lying to himself, Leon pondered for a while, and couldn't help but ask:
"What about you, senior? Where are you now?"
"I can't be a god, but I can't die either...... You can't normally die."
After pointing to the apple in Leon's hand, the lazy young man suggested with a serious face:
"If you're willing to believe me, bring a few more apples with you, eat one when you find out you're unlucky, and then throw away the cores, this thing can be a lifesaver at a critical moment."
