I! Cleaner!-Chapter 760 - 695: The Four Calamities

"Open the paper you have in your hand!"

Gazing at the pondering Leon, the Aquarius Director's dim shadow said coldly:

"What's written on it is my gesture of sincerity, but if you want to know more about the future, you must answer my questions!"

The future...

After hearing the Aquarius Director's words, Leon couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, then opened the folded note as instructed.

Circle, circle, circle, circle.

"..."

What on earth is this drawing? The Olympic rings?

Seeing the four tightly packed circles jumbled together and interconnected, Leon's brow furrowed.

However, just as he was about to ask, he noticed that under his observation, those strange circular characters visibly expanded, turning into a readable form...

They even thoughtfully offered a simplified Chinese translation?!

'The Frost Plains Country Ashito, Hexagonal Mountain Range, under Rehe City, Scorching Spring Ravine, Lu Bei Ying River.'

'Witch Kingdom Mifala, Grand Witch Ritual, Witch King's Death, Black Cat Disemboweled, No Successor to the Witch Court.'

'Thousand Sails Maritime Country Sayo, Hidden Moon Fog Dispersed, Sun Shadows Difficult to Conceal, Anchor Ships Sink, Voyage Land Piles of Corpses.'

'Twin Kingdoms Carlevon, Lumen Restored Daylight, Deep Night Exhausted, Sunset East Rise, Citizens Slaughtered in Revenge.'

"..."

Blinking in surprise, Leon reached out to gently rub the first line of text, whereupon bizarre yet vivid images unfurled silently within his dark pupils through the paper's convoluted characters.

Below the white tundra, magma spewed out like a flood, in the blink of an eye engulfing a human city beneath a snow ridge, and outlined fiery rivers interwoven with red and black beneath the massive hexagonal glacier.

And the glacier of the Hexagonal Mountain Range, under the erosion of these red and black fiery rivers, was rapidly shrinking at thousands of meters per second, massive meltwater mixed with avalanches poured into the great river, flooding south along the river course, forcefully swelling dozens of tributaries a thousandfold, turning three counties in the northern part of the Kingdom into a vast swamp.

Hexagonal Mountain Range, under Rehe City, Scorching Spring Ravine, Lu Bei Ying River...

Comparing the illusions reflected in his pupils and pondering the note's contents, Leon's brow furrowed more tightly.

So... a disaster will occur in the future Northern Kingdom, due to the eruption of the underground Magma River, not only destroying a city, but also melting the glacier of the Hexagonal Mountain Range, causing an unprecedented large-scale flood disaster in the northern part of the continent?

And such a level of disaster... is only a quarter of what's noted on this paper?

...

"As I just mentioned, the Slaughter King Association recently planned four actions, if I don't say anything, they will succeed three times within the next year."

Raising his hand to show "three," seemingly temporarily relieving the restriction against directly revealing future events, the Aquarius Director calmly continued:

"Even with the personal involvement of a newly appointed director, one of the Slaughter King Association's four actions was forcefully stopped, but the other three actions still proceeded perfectly.

When the Watcher's Palace's potency weakens thrice, True Gods with over 60 Leon Value will descend in large numbers. Even if the Clean-up Bureau responds promptly and recalls all the forces they can, many familiar faces to you will disappear forever in the ensuing war."

"..."

"Moreover, don't think you can disclose these things."

Pointing at the note in Leon's hand, the Aquarius Director laughed coldly and said:

"The note in your hand, aside from being a carrier for information, is also a necessary tool to 'intervene' in the future. Only those who hold and see it can receive future insights from me.

It's made from a part of my existence and completely under my control, so without my permission, you won't be able to tell anyone about the future."

"..."

This Aquarius old man, even dead as he is, still has that infuriating attitude...

Rubbing the characters of the other three rings on the note, Leon looked at the phantom of a black cat whose belly was slit open, its corpse hanging high on the spire, silently mourning amid ruins;

Seeing countless ghosts in the scorching sun, screaming and wailing, forced to sink their ships, falling into the sea; and seeing, under the interchange of day and night, black and white inversed, millions of citizens slaughtering each other with blades, Leon couldn't help but reluctantly nod.

"You win... speak, what are the terms?"

"I want all your secrets!"

Watching Leon, who finally conceded, the Aquarius Director's shadow couldn't help but smile slightly, speaking with fiery eyes:

"I want to know your origins! Know your way of nullifying the Watcher's Palace! And! I also want to know..."

"You're asking for too much."

Interrupting the Aquarius Director, Leon refused without hesitation:

"You should know how valuable my secrets are; even the entire Watcher's Palace wouldn't suffice to trade for them, I can't agree to this deal!"

"Indeed."

Accepting Leon's words frankly, the Aquarius Director smiled confidently and said:

"I admit your secrets hold immense value, but value eventually depends on the buyer. What I know of the future, though not as important as your secrets in pure value, is... Wait! Where are you going?"

"Of course, to find Nicole!"

"???"

Seeing Leon stride towards the Aquarius Palace's door with killing intent, the Aquarius Director was left dumbfounded as Leon answered:

"I think you were absolutely right, value ultimately depends on the buyer... so once I drag Nicole in front of you, with a knife to her throat, I'm sure you'll answer whatever I ask!"

"You?!!!"

"If you think I wouldn't do such a thing, and am just putting on an act with you, then send your consciousness back to the Watcher's Palace and see for yourself the future! See if I wouldn't act against her!"

"Hehe, Nicole is merely..."

"Nicole is merely like your own daughter, the sole kindness and reluctance in your human nature, your last tie to this world, the only softness in your pitch-black heart."

"..."

"Enough, no more nonsense!"

Switching on the Master Performer, Leon, trying to act as the resolute and ruthless Leon, stood at the Aquarius Palace's entrance, coldly smiling with a threatening voice:

"Your condition is something I can never agree to, so now it's your turn to make a choice. Either you revise your conditions willingly, or I'll go and bring the one who can make you change your terms over... But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to bring her back intact!"

"..."

What was I thinking back then, entrusting Nicole to such a person?
