Chapter 901 The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled
Because this meeting happened so suddenly... and so awkward, both the faceless man who opened the lid, and Leon who was caught cheating for no apparent reason, could not help but stand there in a daze.
After being silent for several seconds and getting rid of the initial shock, the two people recognized each other and jumped up almost at the same time. One ran out of the cemetery without hesitation, while the other stood up too quickly and his soul was unstable, so he fell back down with a thud.
"Leon!"
After reaching out to catch Leon who fell back, the startled Emma quickly hugged him in her arms, checking his restless soul while calling out anxiously:
"How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I...I'm fine..."
After shaking his head to indicate that it was okay, Leon stretched his neck twice, trying to climb out of Emma's soft embrace.
But the broken soul and body could not be perfectly synchronized, and he was interrupted too roughly when he was halfway through repairing. Therefore, he tried several times but failed to get up. Instead, he turned over and lay down again, saying in a muffled voice:
"It's just a little bit fierce... What happened just now? Why did the faceless man suddenly break in?"
"He must have seen me..."
After rushing over to check Leon's soul and confirming that apart from being slightly confused, there was no other damage, the middle-aged Pisces director couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a guilty look:
"Although I am also a Pisces director, I am still a little weaker than a real Pisces director. It is difficult for me to hide my soul perfectly. Just now when I went out to check the situation of the Road of No Return, I must have been discovered by him."
"this is not your fault."
Patting the Pisces director on the back, the Sagittarius director beside him comforted him:
"It is the instinct of the Lords of the Dead to spy on souls. If it weren't for the shielding effect of the Sage Cemetery itself, they would be able to spot everyone with just one glance. Any disguise can only reduce their presence and it is impossible to completely escape the observation of the Lords of the Dead.
And if I'm not mistaken, the Faceless Man is likely to have already gone outside and set his sights on the Sage Cemetery. In this case, even if Taurus or I go out, we'll still be discovered... Aquarius?"
Looking at Leon twisting and turning in Emma's arms like a big meat worm, Director Sagittarius couldn't help but frowned, and then asked with some doubt:
"Why do you seem to have trouble even sitting up? Does the lack of a quarter of your soul hurt you so much?"
"It seems... a little bigger than I expected..."
Leon couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, then stopped struggling and explained helplessly:
“Although these coffins in the Sage Cemetery can repair souls, the cost is similar to that in the City of Regrets. One has to relive the regrets of one’s life over and over again.
And I... I have many regrets, plus my soul is missing a large part, so I can't resist this kind of disturbance, so before the damage is initially repaired, my soul state will be worse than before."
"Okay, just lie down!"
After reaching out to hold Leon's head buried in her arms to stop him from moving around, Emma, whose neck and earlobes were slightly red, raised her head and spoke with a slightly pleading look:
"Sir Sagittarius, Leon's current condition is indeed not very good. Can you let him continue to rest for a while, and wait until his soul is initially stable before participating in the ambush plan?"
"That's right, let him rest first."
After seeing Yan Ang's obviously embarrassed expression, Director Sagittarius couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth which were always downturned, and smiled very rarely, but he quickly became serious again and sighed with some helplessness.
"And judging from the faceless man's behavior just now, he might have become suspicious. It's hard to say whether this ambush plan can succeed."
……
"Despicable Cleanup Bureau!" After escaping from the Sage Cemetery before the Faceless Man, the old man with the lantern, who was still a little frightened, could not help but curse angrily:
"We agreed to negotiate in ten days, but now more than one director has arrived with several days to go. Even the God of Food has arrived! There must be an ambush in the Sage Cemetery!"
An ambush?
Looking back at the Sage Cemetery covered by thick fog, and realizing that no one had come out to chase him, the Faceless Man said thoughtfully:
"Not necessarily... Did you see clearly the state of the God of Food just now?"
"what?"
The old man holding the lantern was startled when he heard this. He frowned and recalled for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"He seems...spiritually unstable?"
"Correct."
After nodding slightly, the faceless man looked back at the quiet cemetery of sages and analyzed with a firm expression:
“Humans are different from us. Losing a quarter of their soul at once is a fatal injury for most people. Only beings that transcend the difference between humans and gods are slightly better off.
As for the God of Food… although he can burst out with strength that surpasses the Pillar God under the right conditions, his essence is still a human being, and it seems that he has not crossed that threshold. "
When he heard this, the old man holding the lantern seemed to understand something and said with some surprise:
"So what you mean is...he's here to recuperate?"
"Correct!"
Recalling the extremely surprised expression on Leon's face when he saw him, the Faceless Man couldn't help but nodded vigorously.
"A quarter of the God of Food's soul was pushed off the Cliff of the End by you and me. He must be seriously injured now, and the Sage Cemetery happens to have the ability to repair souls.
So he must have sneaked into the Sage Cemetery and is using the rules of the Sage Cemetery to repair his damaged soul, and Director Sagittarius and Director Pisces are probably here to protect him! And most importantly..."
When he said this, the faceless man paused for a moment, then said with more certainty:
"Look at the way he looked at that time, and the way he was hugging that female human... How could he set an ambush like that?"
Now that I put it that way...it seems to be true?!
After listening to the faceless man's analysis, the old man holding the lantern could not help but nod slightly to show his agreement, and then said excitedly:
"So... right now, there are probably only a few of them in the Sage Cemetery?"
"That's probably the case."
The faceless man nodded, then stared at the old man holding the lantern with a look of surprise on his face, and said confidently:
"If we rush in now, there should only be the Sagittarius director who is about to die of old age, a weak female cleaner, the Pisces director who has a serious soul split problem, and the God of Food whose soul is incomplete and needs to be repaired.
Facing these few old, weak, sick and disabled people, we will definitely win! "
