Chapter 1558: This Time I Have No Face to See People

Considering that this time it was indeed for a reason, and the situation had not reached the worst state, the Taurus Director did not continue to dwell on Li Ang's naked-equipment tower-diving, but turned to look at Li Ang's face, which was mostly blocked by the hat, and asked with some worry:

"Li Ang, what's the situation with your face?"

"Actually, it's nothing..."

Seeing the Taurus Director ask about his face, Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then raised the brim of his hat:

"When I was fighting the Mountain-Patrolling Woman before, I was locked onto by the rules of Zhanhuai Mountain for a few seconds, and a part of my 'cognition' of myself was pulled away, leading to some influence on my face..."

Cognition damaged?!

Looking at Li Ang's face, whose five senses were slightly blurred, as if covered by a layer of thin gauze, the Taurus Director couldn't help but tighten her expression.

"Besides your face? Does your soul have any other injuries?"

"No more."

After shaking his head slightly, Li Ang pulled down the brim of his hat again:

"I was only locked onto by Zhanhuai Mountain for a very short period of time. Except for my face being influenced, those truly important things were not eroded... Taurus, I really didn't suffer any injuries. Let's talk about the Dead Realm first."

"Alright..."

Staring at Li Ang's face carefully, and finding that it was indeed just a little blurred, which could indeed barely be counted as "skin trauma," the Taurus Director finally set her mind at ease, but still instructed earnestly:

"Although there is indeed no big problem, it is estimated that it will be able to recover on its own after a period of time, but anything involving the soul is not a small matter, so you still have to pay attention... By the way!"

When she said this, the Taurus Director seemed to have remembered something, frowned, recalled, and instructed:

"You remember, before your soul is repaired, you must not look in the mirror... If you have to look, try not to look too much."

Huh? Don't look in the mirror?

Li Ang was stunned upon hearing this, and then asked back somewhat puzzled:

"Why can't I look in the mirror? Are you worried that after I look too much at my blurred face in the mirror, I will completely forget what I originally looked like?"

"Yes."

The Taurus Director nodded and said with some sigh:

"About a hundred years ago, the Gemini Director at that time also suffered cognitive stripping, leading to facial damage like yours.

But he was a handsome man who was proud of his appearance, and he couldn't help but look in the mirror to see if he had recovered. As a result, after looking too much, he couldn't remember what he looked like, and finally lived his whole life with that blurred face.

So you must be careful, don't make the same mistake as him... Well... you'd better carry a portrait of yourself with you, and whenever you can't remember what you look like, take it out and look at it to deepen your impression. In this way, it can also heal faster."

Carry a portrait with me?

After hearing the Taurus Director's instructions, Li Ang nodded and kept this matter in mind, deciding to find Veronica's court painter to paint one when he went back. Then, he asked somewhat urgently:

"I remember... Taurus, how is the Shooter Director doing? Can you help me ask if Senior Emma and the others have returned safely from the Dead Realm?"

"Not yet."

A voice full of exhaustion came from afar. A large mirror placed in the main hall of the Taurus Palace shook, revealing the Shooter Director's square face that looked very upright at a glance.

After taking a look at Li Ang, who was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, the Shooter Director in the mirror moved slightly, revealing the sky behind him that was covered tightly by Death-Reporting Crows, and then said with a helpless expression:

"The Black and White Bridge was moved away by the Faceless Person, Crow-Eye Granny released all the Death-Reporting Crows, the Yellow Spring was dug and broken by the Yellow Earthworm itself, and the Road of No Return was cut off by several closed 'locations'. The road back to the present world is broken, they should not be able to come back for the time being." How could this happen?!

Li Ang couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing this, and then hurriedly asked:

"Why?"

Why... you say why? Do you have no idea what you did yourself?

Seeming to be provoked by Li Ang's inquiry, the Shooter Director took several deep breaths before he could barely calm down, and answered with an ugly expression:

"Because someone only spent less than half a day to brutally kill a Master of the Dead Realm, smashed the entire Regret City under the Ghost Mist Swamp, brought along 20 million dead souls to go deep, kicked down half of Zhanhuai Mountain, and almost beat the Mountain-Patrolling Woman and the Flesh-Fleshed Doe to death..."

"..."

After sorting out Li Ang's battle achievements, looking at Li Ang on the other side of the mirror who was speechless, the Shooter Director couldn't help but ask back with a dark face:

"If you were those Masters of the Dead Realm, could you not run after hearing this news? If you don't hide quickly at this time, do you still stay on the Road of No Return waiting to be slaughtered by you? They are dead, but they are not stupid!"

"..."

Seems... also right, huh?

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down."

No one is wrong, one is sent, one is inside, one is content, one is looking!

Looking at Li Ang, whose face was slightly red and whose expression was quite embarrassed after being sprayed, the Taurus Director couldn't help but come out to smooth things over:

"This matter, in the final analysis, is still the Wailing Puppet's problem. If it weren't for it insisting on torturing our people, Li Ang wouldn't have been able to help but go down to clean it up. So although Li Ang was a bit impulsive this time, his heart was still good... What's the situation on your side?"

"My side... the situation is very bad."

Without continuing to dwell on Li Ang's private action, after closing his eyes slightly, the Shooter Director moved the mirror surface and aimed it at the Dead Realm below, which was already in a mess, and described with a numb scalp:

"The situation in the latter half is unclear, but on the first half of the Road of No Return, those Masters of the Dead Realm whose strength is not at the Pillar God level have all abandoned their territories and run away. All the dead have been blocked on the Road of No Return.

And those ordinary dead souls who have no special abilities and no too strong regrets, counting from entering the Gate of the Dead to falling from the top of the Cliff of Finality, take about three years or so.

So if the latter half of the Dead Realm is also almost stalled like the first half, then the dead souls currently staying on the Road of No Return are about 80 million to 90 million. If you count those dead souls that are difficult to be 'purified'..."

When he said this, the Shooter Director paused slightly, and then looked at the long dragon of dead souls that could not be seen at a glance below, and said with an extremely ugly expression:

"The total number of dead souls currently staying on the Road of No Return may have already exceeded 100 million."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Facing the terrifying number summarized by the Shooter Director, the three people on this side of the mirror couldn't help but fall into silence.

The reason why the Bureau has repeatedly retreated to the Masters of the Dead Realm, and even the strongest third generation did not wipe them all out, is because they are afraid of this kind of thing happening.

If the Masters of the Dead Realm really run away collectively and ignore the dead on the Road of No Return, the total number of nearly 100 million dead souls will block the Dead Realm for one year, and the number of newborns in the present world will be 20 to 30 million less. If the luck is worse and they cannot make a quick decision, but instead enter a stalemate stage...
