Chapter 1335: 666

"..."

Since a part has been retrieved... does it mean our human ancestors could really live for 500 years? And had memory inheritance, infinite inspiration, and spiritual communication?

This... this... a god-like race with such an outrageous configuration, and they ended up almost being exterminated? Were my ancestors a bit too incompetent?

'It seems there was some great catastrophe, but what exactly happened, even Lord Taurus doesn't know very well.'

Through their gripped palms, vaguely sensing Li Ang's confusion, the Red-haired Bureau Chief thought for a moment and explained:

'The first-generation directors who escorted our ancestors to reach this world might have known what happened, but they basically sacrificed themselves very early. People at that time were struggling just to survive, and almost no one thought about passing down history.'

'Plus, with generation after generation of reproduction, these pasts that could not be verified were slowly covered up by the 【Illusion Can】, and finally, even in the General Bureau, only some scattered records were left. I'm afraid only by going into the Old Earth can we find out the reason.'

Alright...

After listening to this bizarre "ancestral decline history," Li Ang couldn't help but lick his somewhat dry lips, slightly understanding the importance of this "Level 5" mission.

Not to mention retrieving all four lost things, even if only one or even half of one were retrieved completely, the human race would instantly become incredibly awesome.

With such a "grand prospect," it can only be said that anyone with even a little bit of ambition would probably be unable to resist looking for them. No wonder the Cleanup Bureau was always short of people.

"Olivia!"

Just as Li Ang and the Red-haired Bureau Chief were whispering, the other branch chiefs had initially completed their expressions, and the Sagittarius Director's gaze naturally fell on them, asking:

"It's five to five right now. Regarding the proposal to directly activate the 【Shadow Wheel】 and project the Bureau Chief and the others back from the Old Earth, which side are you more inclined toward?"

Five to five... my vote is very critical...

The Red-haired Bureau Chief pondered for a moment, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, she asked:

"Lord Sagittarius, may I ask, regarding this proposal, how do the three directors see it?"

"The Pisces Director currently has some problems with his mind and cannot vote for the time being. As for Taurus and me, one of us is in favor and one is against."

So six to six? The result still depends on my vote?

Facing the gazes cast by the branch chiefs, the Red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but frown, then turned back to glance at Li Ang and secretly pinched his palm.

'Li Ang, what do you think?'

"..."

No, why is the decision-making power for such a major event concerning the future of humanity being dumped on me?

Feeling the pressure behind this question making his scalp tingle, under the Red-haired Bureau Chief's repeated inquiries, Li Ang's throat moved, and he answered somewhat hesitantly:

'How about... being as steady as possible and ensuring the safety of the Cleanup Bureau first?'

Although the four "treasures" hidden in the Old Earth were indeed very tempting, and according to the Bureau Chief, opportunities for exploration weren't always available, wasn't he there?

In a few years, when he became awesome, he could get a 【Time Traveler】 badge or something and maybe go over to find those four treasures. It wasn't necessary to rush.

And now the Slaughter King Society was watching like a tiger, ready to come down and cause trouble at any time. If something went wrong, there would be a large number of casualties, so ensuring safety here was more important. "Olivia?"

After waiting for a long time without an answer, the Sagittarius Director couldn't help but urge:

"It's just your vote left. Have you thought it through?"

"Thought it through."

Hearing this, the Red-haired Bureau Chief nodded, let go of Li Ang's palm, and answered loudly:

"I think the safety of humanity is more important. It would be better to bring the Bureau Chief and the three directors back."

"Mm..."

After listening to the Red-haired Bureau Chief, the Sagittarius Director hummed and relaxed slightly:

"The result is seven to seven. The number of people supporting the use of 【Shadow Wheel】 did not exceed half, so let's maintain the current situation for now and not rush to call them back!"

Seven to seven?

The branch chiefs couldn't help but be stunned, then cast puzzled gazes at the Sagittarius Director on the main stage.

Among those with voting qualifications this time, the two directors were one to one, and the eleven Zodiac Bureau Chiefs were six to five. Shouldn't the result be seven to six? Who cast the extra vote?

"Sorry, I cast the last opposing vote."

Amidst the Sagittarius Director's silence, the seat belonging to the Cancer Director in the directors' seats above the branch chiefs slowly lit up.

A male phantom with a big belly raised his hand, politely greeted the branch chiefs, and then explained with a gentle expression:

"The Sagittarius Director believes that this ascension incident should be his full responsibility, and his current condition is really not very good, so he needs a long time to recover. So he contacted me, hoping I could come back to preside over the overall situation, while he goes to sit in the abyss for me... By the way."

Speaking of this, the Cancer Director, who had a shiny bald head and looked like a kind, fat monk, suddenly stopped. He then smiled and looked around at everyone in the venue, and asked gently:

"Is the Cleanup Bureau member named Li Ang here? If he is, could I ask him to come out and meet me?"

Looking for me?

Facing the gentle invitation from this new director he had never met, Li Ang was slightly startled, then subconsciously went to grip the Red-haired Bureau Chief's hand, wanting to ask what was going on.

However, just as he was about to grab her palm, the Red-haired Bureau Chief suddenly raised her hand to tidy her hair, avoiding Li Ang's hand very coincidentally, and then coughed:

"Li Ang, since Lord Cancer wants to meet you, you should go over and let him touch you."

Touch? Why not look?

Hearing the Red-haired Bureau Chief's words, Li Ang's eyebrows raised slightly. He narrowed his eyes and looked toward the Cancer Director, only to find that the Cancer Director's eye sockets were sunken, and there seemed to be no eyes inside. This director was blind.

"No need to touch. Although I don't have eyes, I can barely see people... Are you Li Ang? Not bad, not bad!"

Turning his head to "look" at Li Ang, and sizing him up with non-existent vision, the rich-looking Cancer Director smiled and said kindly:

"Do you know? There are many people in the abyss... uh... many demons who know you, especially in the Gluttony Hell. Some little demons who crave power have even started carving statues of you."
