Chapter 871: Heavenly Path and Night
Chapter 871: Path to Heaven and Night Talk
Abyss of Hells...Okay.
Faced with Director Capricorn's dissuasion, Leon hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Although he did not approve of the Cleanup Bureau's style of doing things, as a senior who had been a director for decades, Leon still chose to listen to the advice based on his past experience.
After seeing him nod, the nervous Capricorn director couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then took the initiative to ask:
"Aquarius, it will take another ten days for Jeanne to be ready. Do you plan to stay at the headquarters for the next few days? Or do you want to go back to the Virgin Branch?"
"Let's go back to the Virgin Branch."
Leon thought for a moment and replied:
"It's been more than half a month since I went to the Kingdom of Miko. I want to go home first."
"Okay, then I'll give it to you."
After nodding to show that he understood, Director Capricorn's blue eyes flickered slightly, emitting a faint white fluorescence, and the beam of light belonging to the [Path to Heaven] in the Capricorn Palace also flickered, then changed position and fell in front of Leon.
"I have changed the position."
Pointing at the white beam of light, Director Capricorn said:
"You just walk in, and when you land you'll be right in front of the Virgin Branch Office."
Wow, global-level precision positioning transmission? This is too convenient!
After looking at the beam of light in front of him with envy, Leon couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Capricorn, how did you get this [Path to Heaven]? Are there any similar anomalies in the bureau?"
"Haha, this thing is not an abnormal object."
Director Capricorn smiled when he heard this, and then explained:
“Strictly speaking, [Heavenly Path] is actually a special effect of the plane of Heavenly Mountain.
Just like when you enter the living world you have a body and when you enter the realm of the dead you only have a soul left, Heaven Mountain also has its own plane rules. It and the Abyss and Hells are two sides of the same coin, and can respectively lock onto "good thoughts" and "evil deeds" and initiate inspiration or temptation towards them.
During the years when I was purifying Mount Paradise, I intercepted a small part of this "inspiration" rule and changed the point of conscription from the foot of Mount Paradise to my body. I could directly and forcibly conscript anyone I sensed to have "good intentions" to my side.
As for sending you back to the Virgin Branch, it is just the reverse application of this ability."
"..."
I didn't quite understand the specific principle, but it seems very powerful.
After nodding as if he understood, Leon said goodbye to Director Capricorn, and then took the initiative to walk into the range of the light column. When he opened his eyes after a dizzying moment, the world in front of him had changed from the main hall of Capricorn Palace to the familiar gate of Virgo Branch.
"Ok?"
Just as Leon landed, the window in the northeast corner of the first floor was suddenly pushed open, revealing a somewhat messy red-haired head.
"I was wondering who it was...it turns out it's you who's back."
After sticking his head out and squinting his eyes to take a look, the sleepy red-haired director couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then smiled and waved to Leon at the door.
"Come on, don't go through the front door, just come in through the window!"
"Director."
After calling out, Leon looked up at the dark night sky, feeling that Anna and the others should not be awake at this time. After thinking about it, he did not go home immediately, but turned and walked towards the red-haired director and climbed into her office through the window.
"Leon."
After taking a sip from the bottle of wine on the table, the red-haired director, who was wearing silk pajamas, sat down on the desk and asked curiously:
"Why did you come back by yourself? Where are Leila and Joshua?"
"I was summoned to the headquarters by Director Capricorn using the Heaven Path. I came back after the board meeting. Leila and the others should still be on their way back."
“Is that so…” The red-haired chief nodded upon hearing this, then looked up at Leon standing in front of him, and took another big sip of wine with a slightly sad expression.
"Director... Hey... Although the style of the bureau has always been to promote those who are capable, your promotion speed is still too fast. It has not even been half a year since I recruited you, and I didn't expect that I would have to call you Mr. Director."
"Director is just a title, but you, Director..."
After glancing at the messy blanket on the sofa, Leon stared at the bottle of wine in the red-haired director's hand and couldn't help frowning and said:
"Were you sleeping just now? Why are you drinking right after you woke up?"
"I didn't just wake up, I just drank a few more sips to get ready for bed... um..."
After drinking the liquor in the bottle, the red-haired director, with two faint blushes on his cheeks, stared at Leon with a hazy look in his eyes, then smiled and teased:
"Hehe, being a director is different. You're starting to manage me... Do you want a bite?"
"..."
You drunkard...
Seeing the red-haired director opening another bottle of wine and passing it over after taking a sip, Leon couldn't help but take the bottle and said helplessly:
"Then go to sleep first, I won't disturb you."
"Forget it, it's already this late, why should I sleep?"
After glancing at the sky outside the window, which was already turning pale, the red-haired director opened another bottle of wine, then crossed his legs in an ungentlemanly manner, sat on the table and asked with a smile:
"This board meeting is about the issue of the dead world, right? Did you directors come to any conclusion?"
"It's a result."
Leon thought for a moment and replied:
"The Bureau is preparing to go to war against the Dead Realm."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, the red-haired director who was drinking couldn't help but choke, and most of the wine spilled on the front of his white pajamas, leaving a large dark pink wet mark.
"Declare a war directly against the Death Realm? Those old guys... ahem, they always like to play it safe, but this time they actually acted decisively?"
"..."
Old stuff, right? You mean old stuff, right?
Seeing the red-haired chief with wide eyes in shock, as if he had discovered that cockroaches could blow up B-BOX, Leon nodded speechlessly and confirmed:
"Although at the beginning, the situation was inclined to continue the discussion, but after Director Sagittarius explained the requirements of the Death Realm, I gave the materials of the forty True Gods to Lady Taurus and asked her to forge an abnormal object specifically for the Lord of the Death Realm, and then it was basically passed unanimously."
"What I said..."
After listening to Leon's retelling, the red-haired chief nodded and said with a look of understanding:
"This is the board meeting I know. If the conditions of the Death Realm hadn't been so harsh, and if you hadn't intervened, the result would definitely be to continue the talks with the Death Realm... Who is going this time? I'm sure I've been excluded again."
"Correct."
Lyon nodded and said:
"According to Lord Taurus and the others, only Director Huangdao will be recruited for this operation, specifically Aries, Sagittarius... These people, Director, you still cannot move. You need to stay and guard the [Twelve Ant Nest] to ensure that this thing is not in danger."
"I knew it……"
After a dissatisfied grunt, the slightly unhappy red-haired director crossed his legs.
As she moved carelessly, her white nightgown and two even whiter thighs overlapped each other. Against the backdrop of the soft light on the table, she was even more beautiful than the morning glow in the sky, attracting Leon's gaze to follow her unconsciously.
"Doesn't it look good?"
After looking at Leon who was distracted for a moment, the red-haired director couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, then stretched out his index finger to dip some of the spilled wine, gently scratched his soft thigh, leaving a wine-red water mark full of charm, and then suggested with a smile:
"Let me make a deal? If you stay at home for me, I can let you touch me~"
"..."
