Chapter 1018: Linkage Techniques and the Old Truth

"I... I am..."

Looking at the two people stacked together in an inappropriate posture for children, Miss Chuangpo quickly covered her face with her hands and stammered:

"I'm not... I thought you were..."

"Alright, don't say anything. I understand."

After sighing slightly, Leon carried the stunned Veronica back to her original position, and then said with great difficulty:

"One of you is Miss Crash, and the other is Good Things Come Hard. Together, they are considered to be a combination of abnormal object skills. It would be strange if you weren't here with me at this time... Tell me, what happened again?"

"Director, the director asked me to come!"

Seeing that Leon had no intention of pursuing her, Miss Chuangpo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained:

"I had just tidied up my office and was about to go to bed when the director knocked on the door and asked me to come to you. He said that the General Administration had received very important intelligence and wanted you to attend a meeting immediately."

Very important information?

Leon was slightly startled when he heard this, then frowned and said:
"What information? How important is it?"

"The director didn't tell me..."

Miss Crash shook her head and said:
"The director said that the confidentiality level of this matter is almost the highest. He can't tell me the specific details. He just asked you to go to the headquarters for a meeting... Oh, and more."

When she said this, Miss Chuangpo seemed to remember something, lowered her head and blushed as she whispered:

"The director also said that although this matter is extremely urgent, it cannot be resolved immediately... So if... if you are... um... busy, you don't have to go to the headquarters in person. Just go to Taurus Palace with your mind."

"Okay... It's late at night, thank you for bothering me..."

"No, no, no trouble."

After conveying the red-haired chief's words, Miss Chuangpo let out a visibly long sigh, then shrank her neck and said:
"Then I won't bother you anymore. You guys can continue with your work... um... I mean, you guys can continue... that..."

"Don't say anything, I understand..."

Seeing Miss Crash became stuck in her speech and her cheeks began to burn again, Leon could only speak helplessly:

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can just leave. You don't have to say goodbye to me."

"No... I'm sorry..."

After hearing what Leon said, Miss Chuanpo's shoulders relaxed, and she rode on the dog and left with a sense of relief. After she disappeared through the window, Queen Veronica, who had reacted, couldn't help but look at Leon, and said with an extremely tense expression:
"She is……"

"She is my colleague. The anomaly is Miss Discovery. Whenever something 'big' happens around us, or if we do something private that we don't want others to discover, she will definitely discover it."

After explaining the ability of the young lady, Leon sighed:
"But I just discovered that it's not just her anomaly. I think your [Good things take time] is also to blame. Basically, as long as you want... um... your abilities will start to cooperate with each other and you can directly summon her over... Forget it, let's not talk about this."

After closing his eyes and feeling the situation of the Taurus Palace, he found that it was indeed open, and that the Taurus and Cancer directors were already in place. Leon couldn't help but apologize:
"I finally have a few days free, and I want to spend some time with you, but the director is so anxious, I'm afraid something serious has happened. I'm afraid I have to go take a look first."

"It's okay. I understand."

Although her eyes were filled with the expression "I don't understand", Queen Veronica nodded slightly and responded softly:
"It's not your problem. I'm always busy too... Go quickly. What you have to do is more important than what I have to do."

"Ah."

Finding that with the opening of the Taurus Palace, more wills have already flowed to the headquarters, Leon did not continue to say anything, but closed his eyes and emptied his mind, using the connection between the twelve constellations to project most of his will over. "Sorry..."

Looking at the shadow of Leon gradually taking shape across the table, Director Taurus said with a guilty look on his face:

"You finally get a few days' rest. I don't want to disturb you, but this matter is too important. And considering the situation of Cancer and I... Sigh..."

"You are serious."

After waving his hand to indicate that it was okay, Leon asked with some confusion:

"What happened in the bureau? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"It's not that something happened in the bureau, it's that something happened in the old land."

The Cancer director, who looked tired, took over the conversation and said with a complicated expression:
"The director and Director Aries have killed the Scarlet Overlord again and taken back a large piece of [Lifespan] from it, enough to allow everyone in the world to live forty more years longer, raising the upper limit of our human lifespan to two hundred years."

"?!!"

After hearing what Director Cancer said, Leon's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he said with some surprise:

"This is a great thing!"

“It’s a good thing, of course…but it’s also a big problem.”

Upon hearing this, Director Jinniu smiled bitterly and said:

“Director Scorpio and Director Virgo have already rushed back with the [Lifespan] fragment. They are expected to reach Mount Heaven within half a month. However, the Blue King and the Red King… the newly born Heavenly Cicada and the Crimson Overlord, have also followed them back from the Old Land.

Leon, you know the current situation. If it were just two ordinary pillar gods, we could still hold on, but facing an opponent of the level of the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to keep this fragment."

"Not necessarily."

Leon thought for a moment and then said:

“I, Director Ophiuchi, Branch Chief Olivia, and Branch Chief Beverly of the Leo Branch can all perform at a level close to that of ordinary Pillar Gods without the blessing of the Star Palace in this world. In addition, Director Capricorn and the six Zodiac Branch Chiefs are still stranded in Heaven Mountain.

With the ten of us plus the two directors, Scorpio and Virgo, who rushed back from the old land, we should be able to put up a good fight even if we face two of the Four Supreme Gods at once."

"That's the second question."

The Cancer director said with a unhappy look on his face:

"Aquarius, we are now under blockade from the Old Ones. I'm afraid we can't leave this world for the time being."

"???"

"To put it simply, the Old One used his truth to form a thin shell outside the world, enveloping the entire world."

As Director Cancer spoke, he raised his hand and created an illusion on the table. A dark building hung high outside the protection of the Watchtower Palace, condensing into an extremely vast shell, completely isolating all channels to the outside of reality.

"The True Gods you captured told me that this thing is called Yesterday's Residence. It is the palace that the King of the Old Days left behind in the Source God Platform."

Pointing to the dark building, Director Cancer frowned and explained:

"Taurus and I have studied it and found that this thing has a 24-hour time difference with us. It cannot be touched at all. Any human who wants to leave through this shell will be forced to go back 24 hours to the time before departure."
