Chapter 664 666
"..."
Since we have recovered part of it... does that mean our human ancestors can really live 500 years? And they also have the ability to pass on memories, have unlimited inspiration, and communicate with each other?
This… this… a race of gods with such ridiculous configurations could actually get to the point where they were almost exterminated? Aren’t my ancestors a bit disappointing?
"It seems that some kind of catastrophe has occurred, but even Lord Taurus is not very clear about what exactly happened."
The red-haired chief vaguely sensed Leon's confusion through his clasped hands, and after thinking for a moment, he explained:
'The first directors who escorted our ancestors to this world may have known what happened, but they all died very early. It was difficult for humans to survive at that time, and almost no one thought about passing down history.
In addition, as generations passed, these past events that could not be verified were gradually covered up by the [Illusion Drum]. In the end, even in the General Administration, only some scattered records were left. I am afraid that only by going to the old soil can the reason be found.'
Ok……
After listening to this bizarre "history of the ancestor's downfall", Lyon couldn't help but lick his dry lips, and slightly understood the importance of this "fifth gear" mission.
Not to mention finding all four lost items, even if only one or even half of them is found intact, the human race will instantly become extremely awesome.
With such a "bright prospect" in mind, one can only say that anyone with a little bit of interest would probably be unable to resist looking for it, and it is no wonder that the Cleanup Bureau is always short of people.
……
"Olivia!"
While Leon and the red-haired director were talking to each other, the directors of other Zodiac branches had already made their initial statements, and Director Sagittarius naturally looked over and asked:
"It's currently five to five. Regarding the proposal to directly activate the [Wheel of the Sunshade] and project the director and his men back from the old land, which side do you prefer?"
If it's five to five...my vote is crucial...
The red-haired director hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then did not answer immediately, but asked:
"Mr. Sagittarius, may I ask what you three directors think of this proposal?"
"Director Pisces has some mental problems right now and is temporarily unable to vote. As for Director Taurus and I, one of us agrees and the other opposes."
So it's six to six? It's still one vote short of me?
Facing the gazes from the branch directors, the red-haired director couldn't help but frown, then turned his head to glance at Leon and secretly squeezed his palm.
'Leon, what do you think?'
"..."
No, how come the power to decide on such a major event concerning the future of mankind has suddenly fallen on my head?
The pressure behind this question made Leon's scalp a little numb. After the red-haired director asked repeatedly, Leon's throat couldn't help but move, and then he answered hesitantly:
"How about...try to be more cautious and ensure the safety of the Cleanup Bureau first?"
Although the four "treasures" hidden in the old soil are indeed very tempting, and from what the director said, the opportunity to explore has not always been there, but don't I still have myself?
After a few years when I become powerful enough, I can get a badge like [Time Traveler] and maybe go look for the four treasures. There is no need to rush.
Besides, the Slaughter King is watching closely and may come down to cause trouble at any time. If things go wrong, there will be a lot of casualties, so it is more important to ensure the safety of this place first. "Olivia?"
After waiting for a long time without seeing an answer, Director Sagittarius couldn't help but urge:
"You are the only one vote away. Have you made up your mind?"
"Think about it."
The red-haired chief nodded when he heard this, then released Leon’s hand and answered loudly:
"I think the safety of humanity is more important. It would be better to bring back the director and the three directors."
"Um……"
After listening to the red-haired director's words, the shooter director hummed, then said with a slight relaxation:
"The result is seven votes to seven. The number of people who support calling on the [Wheel of Sunshade] does not exceed half. So let's maintain the current situation for the time being!"
Seven votes against seven?
The branch directors were slightly startled when they heard this, and then cast puzzled looks at Director Sagittarius on the main stage.
Among those who were eligible to vote this time, the two directors voted one against one, and the eleven Huang Dao directors voted six against five. Shouldn't the result be seven against six? Who cast the extra vote?
"Sorry, I cast the last vote against it."
As Director Sagittarius remained silent, the seat belonging to Director Cancer among the seats belonging to the directors above the branch directors slowly lit up.
A male phantom with a big belly raised his hand and politely greeted the branch directors. Then he explained in a gentle manner:
"Director Sagittarius believes that he should be held fully responsible for this palace visit. In addition, his current condition is not very good and he needs a long time to recover. Therefore, he contacted me, hoping that I can come back to take charge of the situation on his behalf, and that he can take over the Abyss in my place... By the way."
At this point, the Cancer director, who had a shiny big bald head and looked like a kind-looking fat monk, suddenly stopped, then looked around at everyone in the meeting room with a smile, and then asked in a gentle voice:
"Excuse me, is the cleaner named Leon here? If he is here, could you please ask him to come out and introduce himself to me?"
Looking for me?
Faced with the gentle invitation from the new director whom he had never met before, Leon was slightly startled, and then subconsciously shook the red-haired director's hand, wanting to ask what was going on.
However, just as he was about to grab his hand, the red-haired director suddenly raised his hand to tidy up his hair, and unfortunately avoided Leon's hand, then coughed dryly and said:
“Leon, since Mr. Cancer wants to get to know you, then go over and let him touch you.”
Touch it? Why not look at it?
After hearing what the red-haired director said, Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and then he squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Director Cancer. Only then did he realize that Director Cancer's eye sockets were sunken, and there seemed to be no eyes inside. This director seemed to be a blind man.
“No need to touch me. Even though I don’t have eyes, I can still see people…Are you Leon? Not bad, not bad!”
Turning his head to "look" at Leon, after sizing him up with a non-existent vision, the wealthy Cancer director couldn't help but smile, and then said with a kind smile:
"You know what? There are many people in the Abyss... well... many demons know you, especially in the Gluttony Hell. Some power-hungry demons have even started carving your portrait."
