Chapter 1463: The Narrative of Nothingness

"Matthew, my name is Matthew Notemeli."

After repeating his name unhurriedly, the Ma-what-Mei who was called to the Director's office looked a bit shy and said:

"The small room on the right side of the storage room opposite your office, with half the roof occupied by the stairs, is my office. I usually stay in it, and occasionally come out to help clean up... By the way, is the bureau's salary paid every three months?"

"..."

Actually, it's paid weekly... but mainly because when the salary was paid before, I really didn't remember there was a person like you, so...

"Well, the way our bureau pays salaries is quite free. Weekly or yearly is fine, it depends on how you want to receive it."

Under Li Ang's somewhat strange expression, the red-haired Director coughed and glossed over the fact that she had forgotten to pay the salary, then said:

"Matthew, Li Ang and I called you over this time because there is something we need to tell you... you should have been involved in a mission with extremely high danger."

After picking out the parts that could be told about the anomaly of the Luwang Society and the Witch Country, and the future seen by the freckled Prince, the red-haired Director notified him seriously:

"Matthew, although it is not clear what the situation is now, one thing is certain, that is, you guys are afraid that you can only go to the Witch Country according to the future of being hanged."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the red-haired Director's words, Matthew, who looked so ordinary that he would be lost in a crowd in a second, asked in astonishment:

"If the Witch Country is very dangerous, why do we have to go there? If we don't go to the Witch Country, wouldn't that future not happen?"

"Because if we don't go to the Witch Country, although we won't be hanged, we will encounter more troublesome situations."

After taking the conversation from the Director, Li Ang notified:

"Matthew, before finding you, the Director and I also tried some other methods, but finally found that no matter what we did, as long as we didn't arrive at the Witch Country at a certain time, the four of us would immediately fall asleep."

"Fall asleep?"

"To be more specific, what you are about to enter will be a conscious eternal sleep."

Recalling the scene described by Joshua, the red-haired Director couldn't help but sigh, then frowned:

"What is waiting for you in the Witch Country is a 【Bedtime Story】 that has been arranged. If you take the initiative to join, then you will be people in the story, and if you refuse to join, then you will become people listening to the story."

"Although choosing to be people in the story may be subject to many very harsh restrictions, if you choose to be people listening to the story, then after the 【Bedtime Story】 is finished, you who have finished listening to the story can only go to sleep."

"According to the past records of the Bureau, at that time you will lose the ability to control your own flesh, but you will retain all perception of the outside world, being a living dead person who clearly knows everything but can't do anything."

"And during this period, you don't even have the power to choose death. Unless the next 【Bedtime Story】 begins, your souls will continue to maintain a conscious eternal sleep even if they reach the Dead World."

What?!!! After listening to the result described by the red-haired Director, Matthew's ordinary eyes widened suddenly.

Being a living dead person who can never act while still retaining sensory perception is undoubtedly a kind of extremely terrible torture. Compared with this ending, being hanged might even be considered a good ending.

"In short, I'm afraid you really can only go to the Witch Country."

The red-haired Director notified helplessly:

"After Li Ang told me the situation, I immediately asked the Taurus Lord to check the past records. According to the news the Taurus Lord told me, the one who attacked you is an ancient Pillar God, so ancient that even the anomalous object recording its information has rotted."

"Now the only thing we can be sure of is that its 'True Name' should be called 【The Narrative of Nothingness】, and the Bureau has no way to counter its 'Truth.' Almost all stories told by it will become reality."

Wait! Almost?

Upon hearing this, Li Ang on the side raised his eyebrows, and the red-haired Director seemed to know he would react, directly turning his head to explain:

"The only exception is the Third Generation Director. When he was capturing a True God in the Heaven Mountain plane, he was once briefly dragged into the story by 【The Narrative of Nothingness】. But the Third Generation Director is a person who doesn't sleep, and he himself is only half a step away from the Pillar God level, so he successfully got rid of the influence of 【Bedtime Story】."

"In other words, you must have a Li Ang value of over 69 points, have one foot on the threshold of the Pillar God level, and have an ability that conflicts with the 'Truth' of 【The Narrative of Nothingness】, otherwise it is destined to be unable to resist the story it tells."

"..."

So, once the story of 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 is established, anyone below the Pillar God level must be manipulated by it, completely unable to resist? This ability is too shameless!

After listening to the red-haired Director's explanation, Li Ang's eyebrows frowned tighter and tighter, feeling that this ability was a bit too excessive.

After all, apart from the ability itself being shameless, 【Bedtime Story】 can also pass through the barrier of the Watch Palace and lock onto him directly, which means that except for the Zodiac Director and the Twelve Directors, 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 can clean up whoever it wants, without paying any price, which is not usually outrageous!

In one look/p>

"There must be a price. Even if the situation of 【Bedtime Story】 is special and can take effect on you through the 【Watch Palace】, the Luwang Society must have paid something."

"In addition, the restrictions of 【Bedtime Story】 itself are probably not few. Besides the fact that only one story can exist at the same time, I guess it may not be able to perfectly control the content of the story, so it is not completely impossible to deal with."

"But the problem now is that we know too little about it. Except for a name, we know almost nothing, so we can't start at all."

Seeing what Li Ang was thinking at a glance, the red-haired Director sighed and leaned back in her chair, also looking not very good:

"The concealment of 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's ability is too high. This time, if it weren't for Ms. Caitlin's reminder, I wouldn't even necessarily know about the existence of 【Bedtime Story】 until you had an accident in the Witch Country."

"I even have reason to suspect that the geniuses in the Bureau who died suddenly in the past were likely targeted by 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 and then killed with the help of 【Bedtime Story】, and we don't even have relevant records."

"The last record about 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 in the Bureau was left by the Third Generation Director. Several thousand years have passed since then, and the records carved on the stone tablet have rotted a lot. No one knows what its situation is now..."
