Chapter 887 I am too embarrassed to see anyone now
Considering that there was indeed a reason for this incident, and that the situation had not yet reached its worst point, Director Taurus did not continue to dwell on the fact that Lyon was naked and went over the tower. Instead, he looked at Lyon's face, which was mostly covered by his hat, and asked with some concern:
"Leon, what's wrong with your face?"
"Actually, it's nothing..."
Seeing Director Taurus asking about his face, Leon hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and lifted the brim of his hat and said:
"When I was fighting the patrol girl before, I was locked in by the rules of Zhanhui Mountain for a few seconds. A part of my 'cognition' was taken away by her, causing some damage to my face..."
Cognitive impairment?!
Seeing that Leon's facial features were slightly blurred, as if covered with a layer of gauze, Director Taurus couldn't help but tense up.
"Besides your face? Is there any other injury to your soul?"
"Nothing."
After shaking his head slightly, Leon pulled down the brim of his hat again and said:
"I was only locked by the Zhanhui Mountain for a short period of time. Except for my face, the truly important things were not damaged... Your Excellency Taurus, I really didn't suffer any injuries. Let's talk about the matter in the Death Realm first."
"All right……"
After carefully looking at Leon's face and finding that it was indeed only a little blurry and could only be considered a "skin injury", Director Taurus finally felt relieved, but still said seriously:
"Although it's really not a big problem and it will probably recover on its own after a while, anything involving the soul is no small matter, so you still have to pay attention... By the way!"
At this point, Director Jinniu seemed to remember something, frowned and recalled it, then reminded:
"Remember, don't look in the mirror until your soul is repaired... If you have to look in the mirror, try not to look at it too much."
Huh? No mirror?
Leon was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in confusion:
"Why can't I look in the mirror? Are you worried that after looking at the blurry face in the mirror too many times, I will completely forget what I look like?"
"Correct."
Director Jinniu nodded and said with a slight sigh:
“About a hundred years ago, the Gemini directors at the time also suffered cognitive stripping, resulting in facial damage like yours.
But he was a handsome man who was proud of his appearance. He couldn't help but look in the mirror to see if he had recovered. However, after looking at it so many times, he couldn't remember what he looked like. In the end, he could only live with that blurry face for the rest of his life.
So you must be careful not to make the same mistake as him... Well... you'd better carry a portrait of yourself with you. Whenever you can't remember what you look like, take it out and take a look at it to deepen your impression. This way you can get better faster."
Do you carry a portrait with you?
After listening to Director Taurus's instructions, Leon nodded and kept this in mind. He decided to ask Veronica's court painter to draw a picture for him when he returned. Then he asked a little anxiously:
"I remember... Mr. Taurus, how is the investigation going on with Director Sagittarius? Can you help me ask if Senior Emma and the others have returned safely from the dead world?"
"not yet."
A tired voice sounded from a distance, and a large mirror placed in the main hall of the Taurus Palace shook, revealing the square face of Director Sagittarius, who looked very decent at first glance.
After taking a look at Leon wearing a wide-brimmed hat, the archer director in the mirror slightly moved aside, revealing the sky behind him that was tightly blocked by the death crows, and then said with a somewhat helpless expression:
"The Black and White Bridge was moved away by the Faceless Man, the Crow-Eyed Granny released all the crows that reported death, the Yellow Spring was dug up by the Juechuan Yellow Earthworm, and the Road of No Return was cut off in several places by the locked 'locations'. The way back to the real world has been cut off, and they probably can't come back for the time being." How could this happen? !
Leon was shocked when he heard this, and then he hurriedly asked:
"why?"
Why... why do you say that? You don't know what you did, do you?
As if Leon's question had aroused his anger, Director Sagittarius took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down. He replied with a bad look on his face:
"Because someone took less than half a day to slaughter a master of the dead world, smashed the entire Forgotten City into the Phantom Swamp, and dragged 20 million dead people all the way deep into the depths. He kicked down half of the Zhanhui Mountain and almost beat the patrol girl and the flesh doe to death..."
"..."
After reviewing Lyon's record, Director Shooter couldn't help but ask with a dark face, looking at the speechless Lyon on the other side of the mirror:
"If you were the ruler of the dead world, would you not run away after hearing this news? If you don't hide quickly now, are you still waiting to be slaughtered by you on the road of no return? They are dead, but they are not stupid!"
"..."
It seems... that's right, huh?
"Alright, alright, calm down."
Seeing Leon, whose face was slightly red and embarrassed, Director Taurus couldn't help but come out to smooth things over:
"In the final analysis, this matter is still about the Wailing Doll. If it hadn't insisted on torturing our people, Leon wouldn't have been able to help but go down and deal with it. So although Leon was a little impulsive this time, he still had good intentions... What's going on over there?"
"My situation is very bad."
Without further dwelling on Leon's private actions, Director Sagittarius closed his eyes slightly and moved the mirror to the chaotic Death Realm below, describing it with a tingling scalp:
“The situation in the second half is unclear, but in the first half of the road of no return, those Lords of the Dead Realm whose strength was not at the Pillar God level had already abandoned their own territories and fled. All the dead were blocked on the road of no return.
For ordinary dead people who have no special abilities and no strong regrets, it takes about three years from the time they enter the Gate of the Dead to the time they fall from the top of the Cliff of the End.
So if the second half of the dead world is almost stopped like the first half, then there are about 80 to 90 million dead people stranded on the road of no return. If we also count the dead who are difficult to be "purified"..."
At this point, Director Sagittarius paused for a moment, then looked down at the endless line of the dead, and said with an extremely unpleasant expression:
"The total number of people who are now stranded on the road of no return may have exceeded 100 million."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Faced with the terrifying figures summarized by Director Sagittarius, the three people on this side of the mirror couldn't help but fall silent.
The reason why the Cleanup Bureau repeatedly gave in to the Lords of the Dead, even the strongest third generation failed to catch them all, was because they were afraid that something like this would happen.
If the masters of the dead world really all fled, leaving the dead on their way out, the nearly 100 million dead would be stuck in the dead world for a year, and the number of newborns in the world would decrease by 20 to 30 million. If their luck was worse and they could not win the battle quickly, but entered a stalemate...
