Chapter 386 Dispute and Decision
Chapter 386 Dispute and Decision
"I'm afraid not……"
After hearing the request made by Director Jinniu, the square-faced middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then frowned and refused:
"Even if the headquarters is sealed, it cannot guarantee absolute safety, and you are about to be promoted to the palace, so you cannot be disturbed. I can't leave now!"
"It should be fine, it's only been less than a week."
Director Jinniu thought about it and advised again:
"The location of the headquarters is very safe. It is impossible for ordinary people to get up here. Besides, there are two directors, Mimi and I, here. Even if a large number of True Gods target us, we will have no problem holding out until you can come back for help."
"This... still won't work. You know how important the Watchtower Palace is. We can't afford to take the risk."
The square-faced middle-aged man was slightly tempted, but finally shook his head and said:
“You are not very good at fighting, and the soul of the real Pisces Director is asleep. Mimi’s mind is only about six years old. Apart from being able to unfold the Star Palace normally, she cannot exert the effect of the Pisces secret technique at all.
If I leave the headquarters and leave you two alone, if something unexpected happens, everything will be over. I can't take this risk!"
"But Olivia's side is also urgent!"
Director Jinniu closed his collar and said with a worried look on his face:
“Although she is powerful, she can’t really gain any advantage against the Nightmare King. Even if she takes the risk and goes deep into the Soul-Falling Abyss, she can’t catch the Nightmare King who can freely travel through the dreams of living beings.
If we just leave it alone, once the Nightmare King succeeds in coming, even if we can help remotely and call on a quarter of the sun to burn the dream world and reduce the harm caused by the Nightmare King, millions of people will be affected!"
"Although the impact range is large, those people will only have nightmares for the rest of their lives and will not die!"
The Shooter director insisted:
"After this attack, we can increase the effect of the [Illusion Drum] to a higher level. This way, even if the affected person has a nightmare, they will forget it immediately after waking up, and the impact on their lifespan and soul can be minimized!"
“That will still have an impact!”
Director Jinniu said anxiously:
“When these people who are tortured by nightmares grow old, their souls will leave their bodies earlier than normal people. Many years before they actually die, they will begin to lose their memories one after another, or even become empty shells without souls!
And what about the cleaners in the Virgin Branch? After the Nightmare King descends, he will definitely search for their souls as soon as possible! Those little guys are still on duty, if... "
"People from the Virgin Branch can evacuate in advance!"
Director Sagittarius's face tensed slightly, and he said stubbornly:
"Haven't they already been sent out? Now let's send people from the Scorpio Bureau and the Leo Bureau to find them according to the address and notify them to evacuate the kingdom immediately within three days!
The Nightmare King has always been cautious and will never leave the Soul-Falling Black Abyss easily. As long as the cleaners from the Virgin Branch withdraw quickly enough, there is a high probability that they can escape, and even come back after leaving the Soul-Falling Black Abyss. Nothing will change..."
"How could there be no change?"
Faced with the repeated rejections of the square-faced middle-aged man, the Taurus director, who usually had a good temper, became angry for a rare time. Her kind face was glowing with white light, no longer as gentle and kind as before. A strong blood color spread from her cheekbones to the tips of her eyebrows.
"Andrew! That's millions of people! And the job of the Cleanup Bureau is to protect..."
"The job of the Cleanup Bureau is to ensure the survival of humanity. Only after this premise is established can we protect ordinary people from being affected!"
Facing the anger of Director Jinniu, the square-faced middle-aged man frowned, looked up without avoiding or giving way, and said with a determined look:
"Since Aquarius can cooperate with the Nightmare King to repair his soul, it doesn't necessarily mean he can't cooperate with other people. Once something goes wrong on your side, more than just the millions of people will be affected, so I will definitely not leave!"
"But it's only for a week! I can..." "Facing an opponent who can see into the future and has more than one time anomaly, let alone a week, I can't even give him a minute's worth of loopholes!"
……
"You two, please stop arguing."
Faced with the dispute between the two current directors, the red-haired director finally found an opportunity to interrupt.
After taking a look at the stubborn middle-aged man, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, knowing that she would not be able to invite him anyway, so she took the initiative to speak:
"Sir Taurus, let's do as Director Sagittarius suggested... Please help me contact people from other branches nearby to find Emma and the others as soon as possible and have them evacuate the kingdom in advance."
"Olivia?! How did you…?"
"Mr. Taurus, please listen to me first."
After interrupting Director Taurus, the red-haired director looked at the square-faced middle-aged man in the [Celestial Mirror] and said calmly:
"What Lord Sagittarius said makes sense. Aquarius wants to rely on the power of the Nightmare King to repair his soul. This is just my personal guess. Maybe his real purpose is to trick Director Sagittarius out of the headquarters.
After all, the anomaly that helped Mimi stabilize her soul was what he and you did together. Aquarius is also very clear about the rules of the replacement of the four souls of the Pisces director.
Since Aquarius knows that the headquarters is actually empty, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is planning to take advantage of the situation and attack the headquarters, so we should be more careful. "
Seeing that the red-haired director also admitted that this was possible, Director Taurus couldn't help but look sluggish, and then asked with a frown:
"What about you? Are you really going to leave the Nightmare King alone?"
"Of course that's not possible either."
The red-haired director shook his head and said:
"Although it's difficult, we still have to do what we have to do... Please prepare with the two directors, Pisces and Sagittarius. Before and after the arrival of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, mobilize the three zodiac star palaces to burn the dream world in advance and help relieve the pressure on us."
When she said this, she hesitated for a moment, but still took a deep breath and asked:
"Also, please help me contact the director of the Scorpio Branch. With your identities, I can force him to come over here to help immediately. As for me...if he can come to help, I can kowtow to him and apologize in front of everyone at the headquarters during the year-end review!"
"Olivia..."
Looking at the red-haired director with his fists clenched, Director Taurus' lips moved slightly, then he sighed and said:
"I'll tell him. I really wronged you this time."
It is indeed unfair...but a little bit of unfairness is better than massive deaths. At least it will make you feel better.
The red-haired director smiled when he heard this, but said nothing. The square-faced middle-aged man on the other side of the celestial globe looked at her, hesitated slightly, then stretched out his finger and used his fingernails to draw an emblem of an archer holding a bow and a horse on the mirror surface of the celestial globe.
