Chapter 1566: Leon!

"Leon!!!"

Her tightly shut eyes snapped open. After gasping for several breaths, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, her entire body shivering with a bone-deep chill, couldn't help but raise her arms and laboriously push aside the grimy ebony board above her head. She sat up from the worm-eaten coffin, her back already soaked through with cold sweat.

What was going on? Why, in her nightmare, was Leon pushed off a cliff by a beast whose face she couldn't clearly see?

"Eh?"

Seeming to hear the movement of the coffin lid opening behind him, the square-headed old man not far away, who was busy scrubbing a pot, couldn't help but turn his head to look, then said with a face full of displeasure:

"You've already gotten into the coffin, why are you sitting back up? Did you forget what I said earlier?"

"I... I'm sorry..."

After struggling to calm her racing heart, the still-shaken Auntie Auntie Ai Ma apologized hurriedly:

"Lord Third, I just had a nightmare..."

"Stop! Cut it out!"

Raising his hand in a "stop" gesture to interrupt Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, the old man known as Third said with an annoyed expression:

"You people have all been put through the wringer over at Regret City, and now you've laid down in the 【Sage's Coffin】, which affects the soul. It would be strange if you didn't have seventeen or eighteen nightmares... Look at them, aren't they all dreaming over there?"

Seeming to prove his point, the old man waved his hand toward the cemetery, which had been dug up into a mess and was full of pits. One after another, the old coffin lids flipped open, revealing the groaning and mumbling cleaners beneath.

"Wuwuwu... I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"Please, let him go, just let him go!"

"This marriage cannot be dissolved! How about the three of us together instead!"

"No! No! How could it be like this!"

"..."

"See? Aren't they all dreaming over there?"

After pointing his hand toward the coffin beneath Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, the old man grunted:

"Hurry back and lie down! You little useless things who can't even beat a True God, you stayed in Regret City for several weeks, your souls are already at their limit. After returning to the real world, you'll have to lie down for at least a year or two before you can even get on your feet. You won't fully recover without resting for three to five years.

And while having nightmares in the 【Sage's Coffin】 is unpleasant, it's also repairing the cracks in your souls, and it even has the effect of opening up wisdom. You've made a huge profit, you know that?"

"Thank you, Lord Third..."

Having long heard about the Third Director from the red-haired Director, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma naturally didn't dare to be negligent when facing the square-headed old man who had "taken them in." She hurriedly thanked him, then said with some hesitation:

"But the nightmare I just had seems a bit wrong."

"What's right or wrong about it? What's abnormal about something appearing in a dream? No need to make a fuss."

"But..."

"No 'buts'! Go, go, go! Hurry back and lie down, don't cause trouble for me!"

Picking up a wooden-handled brush used for scrubbing pots from a pot that had been scrubbed brighter than a mirror, and pointing toward a group of the dead tied to a tree nearby, the square-headed old man said impatiently:

"See that green-haired old man? Before his head got moldy, his hair was gold. He was known as a once-in-a-millennium great playwright. Every strand of hair he lost while writing a script was collected by people as real gold.

And that old lady opposite him, although her chest is sagging to her knees now, when she was alive, she was a dancer known for her elegant posture. A single performance could gather over ten thousand spectators, and the line of people wanting to see her could stretch for a kilometer.

The rest of those tied up in stacks are basically scholars from the Mechanical City of Kuluoke. Many of the things you use now were invented by them back then. Any one of them taken out is a hero to all of humanity!

And in order to free up coffins to repair your souls, I had to dig them all out of their graves! If you weren't sent by that kid, I wouldn't bother with whether your souls have problems or not. Don't be ungrateful!" "I... but I just dreamed of Leon, he..."

"Aren't you his mistress? What's abnormal about dreaming of him?"

"..."

Choked by the old man's matter-of-fact question, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, after holding it in for a while, couldn't help but flush slightly and say:

"It's not that kind of dream! I dreamed that Leon was hugging a naked man and they fell off a very steep cliff!"

"Ah???"

Upon hearing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's words, the old man was startled, then said with an expression of disbelief:

"He has that kind of hobby?"

"No..."

Discovering that the old man's train of thought was a bit strange, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, feeling she couldn't explain it clearly to him, pursed her lips. After struggling to organize her language, she spoke again:

"My connection with Leon is very close... please listen to me!"

Read every word correctly!

Raising his hand in advance to stop the old man who wanted to speak, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, with a somewhat anxious expression, explained at a very fast speed:

"Leon once carried me back from the Dead World to the real world. Our souls are very close, and since then, a connection has vaguely formed.

So I feel that this nightmare of mine is likely not just a simple nightmare, but that the part of Leon's soul left in the Dead World has run into trouble. After his soul ran into trouble, my soul felt the situation at that time!"

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression turned serious, then he frowned and said:

"Then, analyzing it according to what you saw... could it be that the kid's soul jumped off a cliff to commit suicide with a naked man?"

"..."

Is there something wrong with this old man's brain!!!

Facing the Third Director, who kept talking nonsense and was clearly pretending not to understand, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, feeling extremely uneasy, couldn't help but stomp her feet, her expression somewhat annoyed:

"Lord Third! Leon's soul might be in trouble! He is the... the most outstanding cleaner our Cleaning Bureau has had in these years! And you are his teacher! You..."

"Bullshit!"

Upon hearing this, the square-headed old man was furious, jumping up and scolding back:

"You are his teacher! Your whole family are his teachers! I... damn! You are not allowed to talk nonsense! I never taught him anything at all! I'm not familiar with him at all!"

"Teacher, you are being a bit dishonest saying that."

"? ！？！！!"

Hearing the voice that almost ruined his reputation, the Third Director's neck couldn't help but shrink slightly, then he turned his head to look back with an extremely complex expression.

A pile of rare materials... ah no, a familiar figure with black hair and black eyes reached out from the pot, pried the edge of the pot, poured out the scrubbing water inside, then crouched and crawled out from the pot he had polished until it was gleaming, and said with an annoying smile:

"Third..."

"Leon!"
