Staring at the Three-headed Dog God who was full of terror in front of her, the Red-haired Bureau Director with her legs crossed on the forehead of Crocodile God asked with a smile: “After I die, what do you plan to do? Are you going to bite me hard too?”
“…”
Not just one bite, I wish I could bite you a thousand times! Ten thousand times!
But these words are fine to think about in my heart. If I say them out loud in front of this woman, that would be asking for trouble.
The Three-headed Dog God, who has been beaten countless times by the Red-haired Bureau Director, knows very well when to follow the guidance of his heart. Faced with the increasingly tightening hair around its body, it immediately wagged its tail happily, causing the surrounding swamp to gurgle in chaos.
“I mean, when you really… come, I will personally welcome you at the door!”
When guarding the gate, due to duty, I must fight this red-haired woman, otherwise, if I abandon my post, I risk losing some power. But now since she’s already beaten me, I’ve fulfilled my duty, so there’s no need to get beaten again.
After being freed from the constraints of the Door of Death, the Three-headed Dog God instantly transformed from a stubborn and rigid gatekeeper form into a submissive form, its three dog faces larger than dining tables full of flattery: “Lady Olivia, have you finished your business and decided to go back? Do you need me to open the door for you?”
“No need, I haven’t finished my business yet.”
After rejecting the goodwill of the Three-headed Dog God, the Red-haired Bureau Director said with a smirk: “If you could be as cooperative while guarding the gate as you are now, I wouldn’t have had to beat you so many times.”
“This… my power is to distinguish life and death. If I let you in directly, I can’t explain it to the Sovereigns…”
“Hmm, I know you have difficulties, so I didn’t use my full strength every time… okay, enough talk!”
After glancing at the huge door far away that had closed again, the Red-haired Bureau Director asked calmly: “You said Leon came to the Deathscape three years ago, is that true?”
Leon? Isn’t he the one with a strong demon smell?” “Yes, yes!”
After recalling briefly, the Three-headed Dog God quickly nodded:
“I guarantee with my power, he definitely came once before, and the death smell at that time was very strong. It wasn’t the feeling of being temporarily captured by the [No Return Road] after substituting death with an anomalous item. It was a very thorough death!”
Thorough death…
Upon hearing this, the Red-haired Bureau Director frowned and continued questioning:
“So how did he go back then?”
“…”
After hearing the Red-haired Bureau Director’s question, the Three-headed Dog God couldn’t help but roll its eyes stealthily.
Isn’t he from your Virgo Subdivision? Why don’t you ask him instead of me how your person got back from the Deathscape?
Though itching to vent an old complaint, given the current situation, the Three-headed Dog God could only stick out its tongue and answer with a full face of smiles: “This part I’m not very clear about, all I know is that he definitely died once three years ago. Didn’t you notice that he doesn’t have a Death-Announcing Crow on his head? His crow should have flown deep into the Deathscape with him three years ago.”
“Is that so…”
The Red-haired Bureau Director nodded, then slightly narrowed her eyes and asked: “Angesi, you’re the True God with the strongest perception ability in the Deathscape. Let me ask you, is Leon’s soul tightly combined with his body?”
“Huh?”
“What I mean is, is the soul inside his body the original soul of that body!”
Hearing this, the Three-headed Dog God hesitated slightly, then replied uncertainly: “It should be… right?”
“What do you mean ‘should be’?”
The Red-haired Bureau Director furrowed her eyebrows:
“Give me an accurate answer, Yes or No!”
“That would… be?”
The Three-headed Dog God, tail tucked between its legs, carefully replied: “I haven’t smelled anything unusual anyway. The death three years ago might have caused some impact on his soul, making his past memories very confused, but his soul and body should be unified.”
Just memory confusion? That’s good, that’s good…
…
Upon hearing the answer from the Three-headed Dog God, the Red-haired Bureau Director couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Not a single content within 69 Book Bar isn’t here!
Originally, she only planned to quietly follow behind to confirm that Leon and the other person could safely leave the Deathscape. But after hearing the conversation between Angesi and Leon, she couldn’t help but come out and ask.
After all, the Clearing Bureau is humanity’s last line of defense. If someone from the Old Earth or others sneaked in, it wouldn’t be a joke. As the Bureau Director of the Virgo Subdivision, even if she didn’t want to suspect Leon, she had to be extra cautious in this regard.
Now with the answer from the Dog God, it was finally possible to preliminarily prove Leon’s “innocence.” She could relax a bit. After all, whether Emma could overcome the final hurdle in her heart depends on whether Leon can help.
Recalling the situations she saw along the way, especially Emma, who usually dislikes physical contact with others, peacefully resting on Leon’s back, the Red-haired Bureau Director couldn’t help but sigh softly.
According to the agreement between the Clearing Bureau and the Master of Stars, Cleaners can make up to three wishes on their birthday and receive blessings. Her first wish today wasn’t actually to drink Leon’s bottle of wine, but to solve Emma’s problem.
Following the guidance of her inner self, the fulfillment of this wish ultimately depended on Leon. As long as she refused to send him and Emma away from the Deathscape, letting him understand Emma’s unspoken past, there was a high possibility of solving Emma’s problem…
Come on Leon, whether you can stop Emma from doing something stupid depends on how you perform next! I worked hard, enduring three major misfortunes on my birthday, to get this opportunity to solve the problem. Don’t let me down!
Speaking of the three misfortunes brought by the three wishes…
Subconsciously touching her still burning lips, the Red-haired Bureau Director couldn’t help but frown slightly.
The curse from the Master of Stars upon Cleaners using “wishes” triggers immediately after the user follows the guidance of their inner self and completes everything needed to fulfill the “wish.”
According to the order of the three wishes being realized, helping Leon obtain a suitable anomalous item was completed first, so the misfortune from this wish should appear after Leon obtains the anomalous item.
Judging by the timing… was it losing her first kiss to Leon? Does that count as misfortune?
As for wanting to taste that bottle of wine, which was the second wish completed today, the misfortune brought by this was quite obvious. She had just tasted the wine and got burned, and her lips were still a bit swollen.
And Emma’s matter was the last one completed. In theory, her misfortune should have arrived when they left the Deathscape, but why hasn’t any misfortune happened until now?
What exactly is the final misfortune?(End of Chapter)
