Chapter 1593: Great Axe, Again Axe

"That... Leon..."

Floating directly above the City of Regret, looking at the tens of thousands of dead who were working hard and shouting slogans, trying to dig the City of Regret out of the swamp, Director Taurus couldn't help but say with a face that was hard to hold back:

"Wasn't the City of Regret trapped because you hit it? Why are you digging it out now? And you are now half a master of the Death Realm, if you take action, it should be faster than them, right?"

"It's different."

Leon shook his head after hearing this.

"I only control half of the authority of death, so without destroying the basic rules of the Death Realm, I can only transform half of the Death Realm. Things that others can do should be left to others as much as possible, it doesn't matter if it's a bit slower."

"As for why I want to dig out the City of Regret... not all dead can completely let go of regrets. They still need a place to live, and I have recruited quite a few employees for the Underworld Branch. They can't work all the time, they always need some other life."

"Digging out the City of Regret and the ruins of the Daoling Market and tidying them up properly, one can be used for them to live, and the other can be used to arrange some shops and entertainment, so they don't live... hmm... die too boringly."

"But... is this a bit too good?"

Squinting at the dead below, seeing the vitality that was almost no less than that of the living on those pale faces full of death, Director Cancer couldn't help but remind with a complex expression:

"Leon, according to your plan, the life of the dead in the Death Realm in the future will probably not be worse than the present world. You made the Death Realm so good, will the dead still be willing to head toward the Cliff of the End?"

"They will."

Probably having thought about this problem long ago, Leon explained calmly while modifying part of the rules in the City of Regret:

"True dead have no flesh and no five senses, everything is just the 'perception' of the soul. This kind of life cannot be compared with 'living' itself."

"And from the moment the dead enter the Death Realm, the Death Realm is constantly wearing down the part of them that belongs to 'living beings,' it's just that the speed is not as fast as the original places. This is the basic rule of the Death Realm, and I can't change it either... By the way."

When saying this, Leon seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at Director Taurus beside him.

"Director Taurus, can the bureau's way of selecting cleanup staff be changed?"

"Ah?"

Not expecting Leon to stare at one of the bureau's basic policies after just finishing a big change, the two directors stiffened, and their heartbeats, which had only recovered for a short time, missed a beat in unison.

Although the Death Realm's means of "handling" the dead were indeed too cruel... but this eighteen layers of hell of yours sounds like it's not much better than the original one, right?

"You misunderstood. This hell I'm talking about, of course, is not for everyone to go down. It must first go through a series of distinctions, and only evil people will be thrown in."

(Content omitted for brevity)

"I just hope that by changing the selection method and adding some small rules, future cleanup staff can be a little more 'human,' and when facing those dilemmas, try to make some choices with more 'human touch'."

"So... what are you going to do?"

"First of all, naturally, expand the scope of 'inspection' and use large-scale inspection to replace the way of fishing people from prison."

After organizing his language, Leon looked at Director Taurus and explained:

"Director Taurus, can you forge an anomalous object that has a huge sensing range and can regularly check the Leon value of humans on a super large scale?"

(Content omitted for brevity)

"I understand!"

When hearing this, Director Cancer, who had been frowning and thinking hard on the side, suddenly had his eyes light up.

"You are trying to use the situation of that hell to publicize that one will suffer torture for evil deeds before death, to intimidate the humans in the present world, force them to reduce evil deeds, and follow up to reduce the birth of negative attribute anomalous objects?"

"It's persuasion... or deterrence also works!"

After correcting Director Cancer's overly straightforward statement, Leon added with flickering eyes:

"And the deterrence of the Death Realm alone is not enough. We also have to rely on the bureau's influence on the royal families of various kingdoms and require them to improve the current situation. Otherwise, doing so is just drinking poison to quench thirst."

"After all, the root of the problem is the overly painful life of most people. As long as this problem is not solved, then no matter how other places are changed, it will be useless." ===== CHAPTER 1594 =====

"I understand what you mean."

After nodding to the Cancer Director, Li Ang replied with a calm expression:

"I don't intend to use this reason to bind the hands and feet of the cleaners, forcing them to choose a path of immense danger—one that, while potentially reducing casualties, is more likely to implicate even more people.

I just hope that by changing the selection method and adding a few small rules, future cleaners can be a little more 'humane,' so that when they face those dilemmas, they can try their best to make choices with more 'human touch'."

"So... what do you plan to do?"

"First, naturally, is to expand the scope of 'inspection,' using large-scale inspections to replace the method of fishing people out of prisons."

After organizing his thoughts, Li Ang looked at the Taurus Director and said:

"Lord Taurus, can you forge an anomalous object with a massive sensing range that can periodically perform large-scale inspections of human Li Ang values?"

Read every line of content as it is!

"I suppose I could..."

The Taurus Director hesitated upon hearing this.

"But such a thing not only consumes a massive amount of energy, it also temporarily raises the Li Ang values of ordinary people. If the inspection frequency is too high... hmm... I understand."

After glancing at the City of Regret below, a look of realization appeared in the Taurus Director's eyes.

Previously, they didn't use this method to find people because they were worried about accidentally "creating" a large number of anomalous object holders, causing more anomalous disasters. But if Li Ang's transformation plan was sound, this kind of small-dose, high-frequency "micro-infection" was actually a good thing, as it could give birth to more budding cleaners.

"I'll start experimenting as soon as I get back!"

"Then I'll leave the hard work to you."

After nodding to the Taurus Director, Li Ang looked at the frowning Cancer Director and continued:

"As for the problem of the cleaners' methods being too brutal, I think it can be handled in conjunction with the current Dead World... although it's hard to impose too many restrictions for now, we can use a method similar to 'luring with benefits' to make them regulate their own behavior."

"Luring with benefits?"

"To put it plainly, it's still a reward and punishment system, but cleaners are very different from ordinary people, so the rewards and punishments naturally need to change."

Glancing at the City of Regret, which had already revealed more than half of its structure below, Li Ang said thoughtfully:

"Lord Cancer, I've discovered that although most cleaners have extreme and stubborn temperaments, they actually all harbor significant regrets, and many of these regrets are related to their loved ones.

So, if our Underworld Branch adds another rule—that cleaners who join the Cleaning Bureau and maintain an excellent 'performance review' with no malicious misconduct can periodically meet their deceased relatives, and if they accumulate enough merit, they can even resurrect them..."
