Chapter 358: The Doe
Chapter 358: The Doe
If that's the case...I'm repaying kindness with enmity, right?
After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed.
If that were really the case, perhaps "Leon Ryan" would have disappeared six years ago, and I would no longer exist.
So even though that Reynard was an extremely coward, he was the one who destroyed the advent ceremony. In theory, he was indeed the savior of most of the residents of the royal capital, as well as himself.
If that's the case, then I really did something wrong. I should have said thank you to him first and then killed him.
……
"Director."
After thanking Leonard in his heart, Leon asked with a twinkling look in his eyes:
"According to your guess, which one of the masters of the dead world wanted to descend six years ago?"
"Why do you ask?"
The red-haired director narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with vigilance:
"You're not planning to kill the Lord of the Dead as well as he did this time, are you?"
"How can it be……"
Lyon complained speechlessly:
"That's the Lord of the Dead who has lived for who knows how many years. I'm just a level 3 cleaner. How could I possibly have any thoughts about that kind of existence? I just asked to get an idea."
"You better think so!"
The red-haired director snorted when he heard this, then frowned and warned:
"If it was the goddess of wealth, we could just kill her and it wouldn't have any impact, but the Lord of the Dead Realm is different. An existence that can be named the 'Lord of a Realm' provides indispensable help to the normal operation of the entire world.
For example, the Road of No Return that guides the dead souls back to the world was created by the lord of the dead world, the First Dead. It was also because of this achievement that he was able to become one of the lords of the dead world.
Among the remaining masters, the Crow-Eyed Granny created the Death Crow's Nest to predict death, and the Undertaker's Corridor to announce death; the Wailing Doll built the Regret City and the Ghost Swamp; the Faceless Man created the Black and White Bridge and..."
After briefly talking about the names and achievements of several masters of the dead world, the red-haired director said with a slightly cold look in his eyes:
"As for the one who tried to descend six years ago, it should be the 'Doe in the Flesh' among the rulers of the dead world. The three places, the [Funeral Mirror Lake] where Emma stayed before, and the [Corpse Soil Black Forest] and [White Bone Palace] that I took you to, were all created by it.
That side... that ruler of the dead world, is responsible for removing the false flesh and blood clothes of the dead after they realize their own death, turning them into naked and pure souls. He has made a significant contribution to the return of the souls of the dead to the world.
So we can't really kill it. Even if it really succeeded in arriving six years ago and caused a large number of deaths in the royal capital, the bureau could only drive it back to the dead world and force it into hibernation, but couldn't really kill it.
Otherwise, the three locations it created will collapse quickly, and before new corresponding rules are generated, a large number of dead people will be stranded on the road of no return, unable to return to the world normally, causing chaos in the operation of the dead world. "
So there is no way to avenge Senior Emma?
Lyon heard this and said unwillingly:
“Will there be any problems if a large number of dead bodies remain?”
“It’s a serious problem.”
The red-haired chief sighed and said:
“When the third director was still alive, he once led a group to kill a master of the dead world, causing the collapse of the [Unseen Spirit Valley] that was responsible for erasing the excess wisdom of the dead, leaving a large number of souls stranded in front of the [Forgotten Regret City].
In the following fifteen years, with no large-scale wars occurring, the number of new souls worldwide decreased by almost one twentieth, and there was even a trend of further decline.
As a last resort, the bureau had to send a large number of cleaners to stay in the dead world to bury those overly intelligent souls and slowly decompose them in the unconscious until new rules were formed... That place was later called the "Sage Cemetery", and the coffin of the third generation director was buried there."
“……”That’s ridiculous… So you really did it?
After listening to the director's talk about the messes that the Cleanup Bureau had caused in the past, Leon couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, lamenting that this world is really a makeshift team, and that every seemingly outrageous "rule" probably means a huge accident that happened in the past...
"Now you understand why I don't want to tell Emma the truth, right?"
The red-haired director said helplessly:
"I understand how you feel, but many things in this world are like this. They are not destined to have a perfect ending. For Emma, perhaps this is the best result.
Well...anyway, if you really insist on having something happen between you and Emma, then I definitely won't stop you, but her situation with Ellie is too special, so you have to be mentally prepared.
Especially Ellie, I suspect that she is the body chosen by the 'incarnated doe' for herself. Although the descent ceremony was interrupted, after she gets her body back, even if the deer cannot descend through this, it may still take the opportunity to do something.
These damn guys are endless. If you kill one, there will be another. If you are not careful, they will sneak into the house like rats and wreak havoc. It is so annoying... By the way, I plan to go for a drink after get off work. Do you want to come?"
"what?"
Leon, who had just listened with a serious face, was stunned by the director's words. When he realized what she was saying, his face suddenly fell and he shook his head without hesitation:
"No! I've already given up drinking! And Director, you should drink less too! Have you forgotten what you promised Mr. Taurus?"
"Tsk...boring!"
The well-intentioned invitation to relax was met with a stern refusal and a serious reminder from Leon. The red-haired director couldn't help but curl his lips and said:
“Then I’ll go by myself!
Really... I've been squatting down there for several days, and I had a big fight with Aquarius. It was very tiring, okay? I can't even relax?"
"It's not that I can't relax...but drinking really messes things up!"
Leon, who was still thinking about the conspiracy of the "Doe in the Flesh", could not help but remind him:
"When you're sober, you're absolutely capable, but when you're drunk, you're too vulnerable. What if someone takes advantage of you to invade?"
"Then the question is, I'm easy to deal with when I'm drunk, but how do they know if I'm drunk or not?"
"?"
The red-haired director who had already walked to the door turned around and said with a smile:
"Remember, when someone has a weakness that everyone knows about, you have to be careful."
After giving Leon a meaningful look, the red-haired director smiled and said in Leon's somewhat surprised eyes:
“It is impossible for a person who is always invulnerable to be vigilant all the time. Even if he is always careful, he will inevitably slack off sometimes.
But if a person is invulnerable when sober but full of flaws when drunk, the opponent, unless he is a fool, will choose to attack her when she is drunk... Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
In that case, you only need to be extra cautious when you are drunk, and you can relax a little at other times? Or even... you are not really drunk every time? You spend most of the time fishing?
Seeing Leon's eyes slightly widened and his face full of disbelief, the red-haired director couldn't help but smile smugly and slightly blinked his pretty fox eyes.
"Learn something, little Leon~
Although you have great talent, you are still very naive when it comes to how to scheme against your opponents~"
