Chapter 355 Souvenirs

Seeing his best friend hugging Leon tightly in the office, as if she wanted to melt into his body, the red-haired director couldn't help but pause a little, and felt unwell.

In order to prevent the damn Aquarius director from getting involved in the Watch Palace, I had to go to the underworld alone on my birthday and squat by the dirty Yellow Springs River for several days. Every day, apart from checking the dead who passed the Road of No Return, I just watched the big crocodile next to me grinning.

As a result, I was working overtime downstairs to protect the world, and you two actually did it in the office?
You...don't you feel any pain in your conscience?
"Director? You're back just in time!"

Seeing the red-haired director suddenly breaking in, Leon couldn't help but feel happy.

The night raid on Cuiyu Manor seemed to be flawless so far, and there was no suspicion on me. However, there was still one area that was not so certain, and that was the existence of the [Dream Invader].

If the director had honestly registered the abnormal objects and reported the ability of the Dream Invader truthfully, the investigators who came to investigate the incident only needed to look at the newspapers in the royal capital and know that Leonard seemed to have had a nightmare before his death, and they would easily associate it with themselves who possessed the Dream Invader.

Fortunately, the [Dream Invader] was just created, and it was created by the third-generation director who lived in the dead world for a long time. There were no other records before. Even Senior Emma was not clear about its specific capabilities. Currently, only the director and himself know about it, and this gives room for maneuver.

As long as the director is willing to cooperate and conceal the existence of the "Dream Invader", or report a false ability that seems plausible, then this last point of doubt will no longer exist, and he and Emma will be truly safe.

As for whether the director would help conceal it...

……

'You two bastards!'

After being pulled by Leon and the other man's arms into the "Soul Chat", the red-haired director couldn't help but glared at Leon and said, "I'm so happy!
"You are really... I arranged for you to go down the road of no return with Emma so that you can persuade her to endure for a few more years! Not to let you take action to help her get revenge!"
With Emma's ability, she can become the branch director if she waits a few more years. I won't stop her from taking revenge! But what about now? If you are discovered...'

'No.'

Leon shook his head seriously and said:
"Before I started, I had already thought about the outcome, and I just checked for loopholes. The only flaw now is the existence of the [Dream Invader], so..."

"So I have to keep it a secret for you, and even file a false report, right?"

The red-haired chief glared and said:

"You want to drag me into this too? This is at least a cover-up, you know? Lord Taurus trusts me so much, if I don't report it to the higher-ups, you guys will be considered..."

'So Olivia, will you report us?'

'...'

I'm reporting shit!
On one side is a dead scumbag, and on the other side is a good friend who avenges a girl, and a capable subordinate who takes action out of righteous indignation. Do I have any choice? Can I report you two to be buried with him?

Also, no matter what the investigators say, this matter must be classified as an "unsolved case" involving abnormal objects. Although the number of deaths is not as high as the Ryan family incident, because the deaths were too bizarre, it also caused a sensation in the city and had a very bad impact. It will definitely be noted in the year-end review.

Really...

The last round of review just ended a few days ago? It's been a straight-up flop? Can there be any good results this year?

After glaring at Leon and the other man unwillingly, the red-haired director couldn't help but snorted angrily, then slammed the door and left in annoyance!

"Write the report yourself! Damn it! I really owed you guys this in my last life!"

This time I passed the test completely!
After hearing the red-haired director's words, Leon's heart was finally completely relieved. Then he couldn't help but look at Emma who was looking at him, and the two smiled at each other.

"Leon..."

Looking at the man in front of her who was "in tune with her", Emma, who was about to say something but was interrupted by the red-haired director who suddenly broke in, could not help but feel her earlobes warm. She then took the initiative to look away, lowered her head slightly, and said as tactfully as possible:
'I thought about it, I...Ellie needs...'

"Oh, I forgot to tell you!"

At this moment, the red-haired director pushed the door open again, announcing with a hint of malice in his eyes:
"Director Aquarius is dead!"

"Really?" Leon's attention was once again drawn back by the red-haired director, and he said with surprise:

"Chief, are you sure?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I even had a small fight with him and cursed at him through the light of the [Death Realm Street Lights]."

After looking at her best friend who pursed her lips again and looked a little annoyed, the red-haired director smiled and said:

"Just as we guessed before, Director Aquarius did have a backup plan. Not long after entering the Death Realm, his soul enveloped by the [Death Realm Street Lights] began to expand wildly. Most of them squeezed out of the area covered by the street lights, leaving less than one-tenth still restrained."

"and after?"

“Then I took action.”

After curling up the ends of his bright red hair, the red-haired director who had just left angrily now smiled and narrated:

“The part of his soul that overflowed from the street lamp after he grew bigger was chopped into pieces by me. It was impossible to put it back together. As for the part of his soul that was within the [Death Realm Street Lamp], it ran along the road of no return all the way to the depths of the Death Realm.

If his soul was intact, he might be able to struggle out after the power of the [Death Realm Street Light] weakened. Now that only one tenth of his soul is left, he will probably be sent all the way to the end of the Death Realm and fall directly from the [End Cliff]. He is doomed!"

"Oh, by the way, this is for you."

At this point, the red-haired director seemed to remember something and raised his hand to throw over a pair of oddly shaped translucent gloves.

"This is……"

"It's made from Aquarius's finger. Strictly speaking, the material should be the soul fragments from his finger."

"what?"

"It's a little disgusting, but it works."

Looking at the startled Leon, the red-haired chief curled his lips and said:

"Remember the secret technique of [God-covering Cross Finger] that was specifically designed to suppress the true god's body? Aquarius has practiced this secret technique to the limit, and even part of his soul has undergone corresponding changes.

And you said before that no matter how hard you use, you can't hurt the body of the Goddess of Wealth, so when I cut the soul of Aquarius, I deliberately left the finger part and asked an old man from the third generation to make a pair of gloves for me.

If the goddess of wealth finds out something is wrong and secretly causes trouble for you, all you have to do is put on these gloves to temporarily suppress the divinity in her body. Even if you still can't defeat her, at least you can make her feel some pain.

"Hey... Originally I was thinking, if you can help me persuade Emma, this will be a thank you gift, but now... Humph! Consider it as I'll borrow it from you for self-defense temporarily! After you deal with the Goddess of Wealth, remember to return it to me!"

Ah this...

Looking at this extremely precious "souvenir" that the director brought back for him, Leon couldn't help but said with some emotion:
"Thank you, Chief... When we left the Third Chief, he was already so angry. In order to get him to agree to help me fight the anomaly, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

"That's not true."

The red-haired director waved his hand and said with a smile:

"The old man from the third generation was very angry at first and refused to cooperate, but after I asked him a question, he changed his mind very reasonably."

"Ah? What did you ask him?"

“Haha, I told him—you don’t want others to know that you were the one who taught Leon the secret blacksmithing technique, right?”
