Chapter 981 Follow the Heart
"What did you say?"

Looking at Leon who looked gloomy in front of him, the red-haired chief was silent for a while, and then said with an extremely tense expression:

"I was gone for only ten minutes, sending little Vernon and the others to rest, and you already got rid of the snake man?"

"It's not completely gone..."

Feeling the crimson heart shrinking in his heart and refusing to come out, Leon explained with a guilty look:
"Director Ophiuchus was simply sucked away by the Crimson Heart and merged into my heart. He can't get out for the time being, but he is still safe. In fact, because he has been strengthened by both me and the Crimson Heart, the progress of the blood exchange ceremony has been accelerated several times... If you don't believe me, look at my hair."

"..."

It's really gotten a lot faster...

Looking at the hair on Leon's head that had changed color for more than half and was almost 60% white, the red-haired director nodded, and then couldn't help but asked with a puzzled look:
"So what did you do? How did he get swallowed by the Crimson Heart? And why couldn't you get the Crimson Heart out?"

"This... Actually, I'm not very clear about it, but I think it has something to do with the connection between the Crimson Heart and the Crimson Blood."

Lyon said awkwardly:

"Director Ophiuchus has completely merged with the Crimson Blood in the past, and the Crimson Blood in the bureau is basically drawn from the Crimson Heart, so theoretically speaking, he and the Crimson Heart now have the same roots and can basically be considered one.

In order to show me how to fuse those anomalies that are stronger than oneself, he took the initiative to fuse the Crimson Blood in front of me, and I just happened to cast the Ophiuchus Secret Technique on the Crimson Heart..."

"So he was considered a part of the Crimson Heart and was integrated into your heart?"

"should be……"

"..."

After standing there in silence for a while, the red-haired director couldn't help but close his eyes speechlessly, and roughly guessed the cause and effect of the snake man's disappearance.

It was simply that Leon learned the secret arts too quickly, and then the Ophiuchus's fatal self-esteem was frustrated, so he cleverly chose the most difficult to control technique, wanting to embarrass Leon.

It turned out that Leon's talent in the mystic arts was higher than he had imagined. He easily conquered the Crimson Heart, which was used as a "teaching aid", and "transformed" the unlucky Leon along with it.

This is really... I'm just teaching you a secret technique, but you can kill yourself? Would it kill you to use your crooked brain less?
"Fine……"

I have become accustomed to the unreliability of my old friend. After sighing, the red-haired director said helplessly:

"So when can you let him out?"

“This is what I’m not quite sure about…”

Leon shook his head and replied helplessly:
"I have only learned the secret technique of the snake owner for a few minutes, so I don't know much about it... In fact, before you came back, I had tried several times, but I could only make the snake owner say a few words, and the secret technique could not be canceled no matter what."

The secret technique cannot be cancelled? How is that possible?
The red-haired director frowned upon hearing this, and then said in confusion:
"The core of the Ophiuchus secret technique is to synchronize yourself with the abnormal object and maintain a state of not being rejected. Once you stop casting, the abnormal object you have merged with should naturally reject you and push you out directly, right?"

"Um... then I think I understand what's going on..."

After listening to the red-haired chief's words, Leon couldn't help but blink, and then said with a little embarrassment:
"The way I merge with the anomaly may be slightly different from the version taught by Director Ophiuchi..."

"?"

"That is... he regards abnormal beings as gods and himself as a believer. He infects abnormal beings through obsession, worship, and belief. My method is a little more violent."

"Violence?" "To be more specific, stabbing with a knife."

"??"

Leon smiled awkwardly, and in the red-haired director's slightly stunned expression, he explained a little embarrassedly:
"When Lord Taurus took me to the secret vault, I actually didn't get the approval of Scarlet Heart, and I even had a quarrel with it. At that time, I was thinking about your situation, and Scarlet Heart's words were too harsh, so I couldn't help but take action and stabbed it a few times..."

"How many?"

"About three hundred dollars..."

"..."

I see... It's not that the Crimson Heart doesn't reject you, but it has been pierced from the Crimson Heart into the Crimson Sieve, so it doesn't dare to reject you at all, right?
After hearing Leon's equally outrageous operation, the red-haired director felt a little numb. He couldn't help but rub his forehead with his hand and asked with a headache:
"Can't you let the snake man come out and say a few words? What does the snake man say himself?"

"He said……"

"How on earth did you do that?!"

Just as Leon was about to relay the message, Director Ophiuchi's voice suddenly emerged from his heart, and he asked in shock:
"This is the heart of the Pillar God! The Bureau has been unable to destroy it for so many years, and you can kill it fifteen times in one minute?"

"Uh... I didn't really kill him."

Under the red-haired chief's surprised gaze, Leon said:

"The bureau has taken down the realm of death, and since I killed a few too many masters of the realm of death, Senior Emma and I each took on half of the power of death. We can drag the people I killed into the end of death... which is the big lake below the Cliff of the End."

After raising his hand to gesture, Leon continued to explain:

"It represents the most essential end and is the most essential embodiment of the power of death. Its status is basically the same as the truth of the Pillar God... Scarlet Heart refused to surrender and even cursed at me. I couldn't help but drag it into the lake to soak a few times."

"..."

"Okay, let's not worry about how he did it."

Feeling the fear coming from Leon’s heart, the red-haired chief asked coldly:

"You know more about the secret art of the snake owner than Leon. Do you know when you can come out?"

"Hard to say……"

Leon's "heart" jumped twice quickly after hearing this, and then he replied helplessly:
"The stone tablet in the Ophiuchus Palace that records the secret art of [Anomaly Transformation] only taught me how to merge with the anomaly, but didn't teach me how to separate from it... And the main thing is that it doesn't even need to teach me this! Anomalies don't even have time to reject humans, so how can they rush to merge with humans?"

"Then can you still come out?"

"Yes...but it's hard to say when."

Director Ophiuchus thought for a moment and replied uncertainly:
"The Crimson Heart has a certain degree of self-awareness. As long as it becomes hostile to the God of Food from the bottom of its heart, becomes disgusted with him, rejects him, and even begins to resist him, this state will naturally be lifted."

"Then let Crimson Heart resist!"

"The problem is that it doesn't dare!"
