Chapter 1571: Probing

"Probably because the dead buried inside ran out?"

Seeming to smell this strange aura as well, the Lantern Old Man pinched his nose and said:

"After the First Dead One fell off the Cliff of the End, the Road of No Return, which lost its guidance, is close to stopping. All the rules existing in the Dead World will slowly become chaotic, and the Sage's Cemetery naturally cannot be spared. A large number of the dead will slowly lose control.

And the souls of those so-called human sages, buried too deep and too long in the cemetery where they can't see the light, after their thoughts become rigid and rotten, it's easy to emit this kind of sour and smelly taste."

Is that so?

Although he still felt that the smell didn't seem quite right, the Lantern Old Man's explanation was indeed reasonable. After thinking about it, the Faceless One didn't continue to investigate, but looked at the quiet gray-white cemetery in the distance, and asked in a steady tone:

"How are the others prepared? Have the remains of Lord First Dead One been handled?"

"Everything is ready."

The ancient lamp swayed slightly, and the Lantern Old Man answered:

"Except for the Patrol Mountain Woman whose heart lake was damaged, everyone else has received a portion of Lord First Dead One's remains and has hidden around the Sage's Cemetery in advance, just waiting for the Cleaning Bureau people to come."

"That's good."

Nodding slightly and expressing satisfaction with the progress of the others, the Faceless One pondered slightly, then his brow bone retracted slightly, and he exhorted with a look of wariness:

"By the way, remember to take the Patrol Mountain Woman further away, try not to let her get close to the Sage's Cemetery, just prepare to intercept the leaking directors. Also..."

When he said this, the Faceless One paused slightly, then his tone turned slightly cold:

"Pay more attention to her situation. If she has any abnormal behavior, you must stop her in time. If you find you can't stop her... killing her is also fine!"

"This..."

After listening to the Faceless One's exhortation, the Lantern Old Man pondered slightly, then asked back with some doubt:

"Are you worried that she hasn't gotten rid of the control?"

"Yes."

"But when the Eating God tried to touch the remains of Lord First Dead One, it had already actively left her heart lake, and then was pushed off the Cliff of the End by you. There shouldn't be any soul residue, right?"

"Theoretically, that's correct..."

Recalling the look of sudden realization on Leon's face when he looked at him as he fell off the Cliff of the End, the Faceless One couldn't help but stroke the back of his hand... When he pushed the Eating God down, his hand was firmly touched by him.

And after touching the back of his hand, the Eating God, who originally had an expression of shock and anger, seemed to suddenly understand something and looked straight at him. That strange look that seemed to see through everything still makes his scalp tingle when he thinks about it now...

"But the Patrol Mountain Woman was controlled by the Eating God after all. No one knows if the Eating God left any backhand in her body, so just in case, we must keep an eye on her... It's really no other way if we have to kill her!"

Pulling his sleeve down to cover the back of his hand that had been touched by the Eating God, the Faceless One turned his head to look in the direction of the Patrol Mountain Woman, then said with a cold expression:

"Even if the strength of the Cleaning Bureau is not as good as before, if we fight head-on, we are definitely not their match, so the ambush plan must be foolproof and absolutely cannot have any leaks!"

"Alright..."

After listening to the Faceless One's words, the Lantern Old Man couldn't help but sigh, looked at the Patrol Mountain Woman with pity, and prepared to send another "old friend" down if necessary.

And just at this moment, the Faceless One seemed to have discovered something, narrowed his eye sockets, and looked in the direction of the Sage's Cemetery.

Under the gaze of his non-existent eyes, a middle-aged woman with quite heavy traces of time on her face, but who should have been a beauty when she was young, walked quickly out of the side door of the Sage's Cemetery, came to the "broken stub" of the Road of No Return, and bent down to examine it carefully.

"That should be the Pisces Director of the Cleaning Bureau!"

Although the middle-aged woman had made sufficient disguise, she still couldn't escape the keen perception of the Lords of the Dead World for souls. After staring at the Pisces Director's four distinct souls for a while, the Lantern Old Man couldn't help but ask with a look of surprise:

"How could she come out of the Sage's Cemetery? Have the people from the Cleaning Bureau arrived?"

"Not clear, let's see first. Also..."

After sizing up the Pisces Director's four distinct souls from afar, the corners of the Faceless One's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, then he exhorted:

"Tell the Carver later, after the Cleaning Bureau people fully step into the encirclement, the Pisces Director of the Cleaning Bureau will be dealt with by him."

"Carver?"

"To be precise, it's the rules of the 【Sea of Nameless Monuments】 controlled by the Carver."

The Faceless One explained:

"The four souls in the Pisces Director of the Cleaning Bureau have their own names, which are perfectly countered by the Carver. By then, the Carver probably only needs to shout once to make her soul fall into chaos, or even tear itself apart into four." So that's it.

After nodding with a look of understanding, the Lantern Old Man noted down the Faceless One's exhortation, stared at the Pisces Director for a while, then frowned again:

"She seems to be checking the Road of No Return... could it be that the situation of Lord First Dead One has already been discovered by the Cleaning Bureau?"

"Should be."

Watching the Pisces Director, whose expression changed after checking the Road of No Return, hurriedly rush back to the Sage's Cemetery, the Faceless One pondered for a while, then actively left the shadow that hid his figure.

"Go! Let's go over!"

Ah?

Upon hearing the Faceless One's words, the Lantern Old Man was startled and hurriedly reached out to pull him.

"Are you crazy? What if the Cleaning Bureau has an ambush?"

"An ambush is even better."

The Faceless One smiled upon hearing this, then said with confidence:

"If the Cleaning Bureau really set an ambush, it must be aimed at wiping us all out, and it definitely wouldn't just be aimed at one or two Lords of the Dead World. So the more they have an ambush, the safer it is for us to go over now!"

Read every word correctly!

Seems... correct?

Convinced by the Faceless One's analysis, although there was a faint sense of unease in his heart, the Lantern Old Man hesitated for a while, but still followed quickly.

And just as the two Lords of the Dead World approached to a certain distance and successfully stepped into the scope of the Sage's Cemetery, the quiet mist around the cemetery suddenly became thick, instantly covering everything that was originally clearly visible.

Immediately after, a man and a woman walked out of the mist, blocking the Faceless One and the Lantern Old Man with vigilant expressions.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the two Lords of the Dead World full of dangerous aura in front of him, the Sagittarius Director narrowed his eyes, his face cold and stern as he shooed them away:

"It's not the agreed time yet! Please leave!"

"Director Sagittarius, don't be excited, we just saw Director Pisces, so we came over to take a look."

Slowly raising his hands without fingerprints, indicating that he had no malice, the Faceless One carefully observed the surrounding environment while probing:

"Also, since it's not the agreed time yet, why did you arrive at the Sage's Cemetery in advance?"

After looking at the Sage's Cemetery that was blocked tightly by the thick fog, the Faceless One, whose heart was full of doubts, pondered for a while, then smiled and said:

"Director Sagittarius, I suddenly have a strange idea. The so-called negotiation you mentioned before... it wouldn't actually be an ambush against all the Lords of the Dead World, would it?"

Bad!

Upon hearing the Faceless One's inquiry, the hearts of the two directors couldn't help but tighten.

The more sophisticated Sagittarius Director understood that this was just a probe, and saying more would only lead to more mistakes, so he snorted and kept his face dark without speaking. The Pisces Director, who had much less experience, couldn't suppress her chaotic mood and couldn't help but glance at a tombstone in the distance.

This... could it be that I really guessed it?!

After noticing the Pisces Director's untimely gaze, the Faceless One, whose heart was also tightening, raised his brow bone, then sensed along her gaze, and then actually discovered a few hidden soul fluctuations.

There really is an ambush!

Secretly waving his hand at the Lantern Old Man behind him, signaling him to retreat immediately if he found something wrong, the Faceless One's figure instantly disappeared, and he ran toward the position the Pisces Director was looking at with a fierce expression.

"Wait!!"

"Don't!!!"

Ignoring the exclamations and obstructions of the two directors behind him, the Faceless One, whose heart was ringing with alarm bells, kicked away the two stacked tombstones, and then kicked open the ebony coffin lid pressed underneath!

"..."

"..."

"? ！？！？！？！？！"

Looking at the infatuated man and resentful woman hugging each other in an ambiguous posture in the coffin, looking up at him with a face full of astonishment, the bones under the Faceless One's skin couldn't help but twist fiercely, squeezing out an incredibly strange expression.

No... I... are you humans this big-hearted?!
