Chapter 332 Senior Tom Gu
Chapter 332 Senior Tom
For some reason, after hearing the conversation between Leon and Emma, the red-haired director, who was originally unconvinced and seemed to want to say something, suddenly became quiet and sat on the Crocodile God's forehead without moving.
After chatting with Leon about her daughter's situation, Emma seemed to have been triggered by this question. She looked up at the crows circling above her and did not speak any more. The three people on the back of the crocodile god remained silent and returned to the entrance to the world of the dead.
"You guys go back."
After waving to Leon and the other man, the red-haired director said calmly:
"The three directors have already sent out the [Instruction List]. In a three-on-one situation, Director Aquarius won't be able to resist for long. He could be dragged into the Death Realm by the [Death Realm Street Lights] at any time. I have to wait here for him to die, so I won't send you off any further.
After that, you just need to go back along the road of no return. After passing the "Black and White Bridge" and the "Death Crow's Nest", go a little further and you will see the dog god guarding the entrance to the Death Realm. Just let it bark and send you back... Remember to keep going forward on the road and don't look back!"
"Okay, I know."
Since Senior Emma was a "frequent visitor" to the Dead Realm and seemed to have traveled there many times, and this was his first time in the Dead Realm, Leon knew very well that these instructions should be specially given to him by the red-haired director, so he responded and then couldn't help asking curiously:
"Director, why can't I turn back? If I turn back, will I never be able to leave the realm of the dead?"
"more or less."
After patting the crocodile god's big head and pointing to the beach chairs placed by the Yellow Springs River, signaling it to take him over, the red-haired director, with his back to Leon and the other man, waved his hand without looking back and said:
“For the dead, the point of no return is a road that can only go forward, with no option to go back.
As for the living who accidentally fall into the realm of death and embark on the road of no return, although they can still go back, this road hates this kind of thing very much, so it will do everything possible to make those who want to go back stay.
It’s okay for you to look back once in a while, you just see some illusions, but if you look back too often, and see too many things you don’t want to leave, and your soul is confused by this road, then you may not be able to walk on. "
It feels like it's dangerous...
After listening to the red-haired chief's words, Leon's throat moved slightly, and then he chose a safer way without hesitation.
"Director, why don't you just send ..."
"I'm busy, I don't have time to take you there."
After jumping off the head of the crocodile god, the red-haired director lay comfortably on the beach chair beside the underworld. He then picked up a magazine on the small table next to him and waved his hand to chase him away without even looking up:
"Don't worry, Emma has been to the underworld many times. With her going with you, nothing will happen to you... Am I right, Emma?"
That’s true...Senior Emma has been here so many times and always went back, so there won’t be any problems...right?
Looking at Senior Emma, whose lips were bitten white and whose emerald arms began to tremble unconsciously, Leon couldn't help but blink in confusion, and then spoke in a daze:
"Senior Emma? What are you doing..."
"I'm fine!"
After giving Leon a somewhat forced smile, Emma looked up at the red-haired director who was reading a magazine, and asked with a slightly pale face:
"Olivia! Are you suddenly doing all this to make me give up?"
"No."
After turning a page of the magazine in his hand, the red-haired director said without even looking up:
"I'm just a little busy and can't spare the time to see you off. That's all.
But don't worry, I'll be waiting by this river, not going anywhere. If one of you can't stand the pain in your heart and is turned back by the road of no return, I will fish her out. "
"You...I won't look back! I've made up my mind!"
"Yeah, I believe you. So when will you start walking back?"
"..."...
I always feel like...they seem to have something else to say...
He looked at the red-haired director who was lying on a beach chair flipping through a magazine but insisted that he was busy. He then looked at Emma-senpai who said she had made up her mind but her feet seemed to have taken root and she refused to move.
Leon smacked his lips, feeling that the atmosphere was not right, and tentatively suggested:
"Well...Senior Tom is still in the crocodile's mouth. How about you let him out, Director, and we can go back together?"
"Can't let go."
“Why can’t you let it go?”
"Because he's dead."
After flipping a page of the magazine with great noise, the red-haired director looked up at Yanong and said expressionlessly:
"When I went with you to find the Third Master to forge the abnormal object, Tom was digested by the crocodile and turned into shit and was excreted in the lake. Then he was eaten by a big fish. You don't have to worry about bringing him back."
"what?"
"Ah what? You want to go back and be with him?"
"..."
I see. The director and Senior Emma are indeed angry with each other over something.
Since Senior Emma seemed very afraid of taking the "road of no return", the director deliberately did not send her off, forcing her to walk back from the road of no return, hoping to force her to change her mind.
As for Senior Tom who turned into crocodile shit, he either had a way to help her or had the means to directly travel between the realms of life and death, so he was forcibly banned by the director and was not allowed to come out of the Crocodile God's mouth.
And considering the director's style of taking one step and planning ten steps ahead, it is possible that she had already made this plan when she and the two seniors first entered the dead world, which is why she did not treat Senior Tom's bones and deliberately did not take him to see the third-generation director...
But why do you let me follow Emma-senpai?
Also, what are you planning, Chief? Although I trust your brain when you're not drinking, but before you do something like this, can't you let me know first so that I can be a little prepared?
"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
After a moment of silence that made Leon uncomfortable, he flipped through the entire book "Disassembly of the Structure of a Four-Wheeled Light Horse Carriage" and the red-haired director, who seemed to have learned the carriage repair technology, raised his head and looked at him with a slightly surprised expression and said:
"Leon? Why aren't you moving? Even though you keep saying that you've made up your mind, you still have regrets in your heart, so you don't dare to go down the road of no return, worried that it will expose your inner fragility and hesitation?"
"..."
Oh, yes, it’s me, it’s me, it’s me!
Lyon was inexplicably given a bunch of reasons and "dared not to go on the road" because of regret. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled back by a strong force.
"Senior Emma? Why are you... hey... slow down! Slow down!"
