Chapter 317: 317 Crocodile Tears

Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood... Blood Hair Ji!!!

Looking at the red-haired beauty in front of him who was slightly wrinkling her nose, and identifying her identity through her long, bright red hair and the boundless sea of dead souls behind her, the Crocodile God, who had been caught at his own doorstep, froze completely.

The Bureau Chief of the Cleaning Bureau's Virgin Branch, the most brutal executioner in history, the god of slaughter who wiped out the entire East Calewin Kingdom in one go and personally sent 129 million dead souls onto the road of no return!

Back when the rebellion at the Cleaning Bureau's Ophiuchus Branch blew up, over 120 million Death-Reporting Crows perched at the entrance of the Dead Realm flew up at once. Countless pitch-black crow feathers fluttered and wove into a sky that signaled death, covering the sky of the Dead Realm tightly.

Looking up at the sky at that time, one couldn't even see the sun; one could only see a gloomy black fog stretching for dozens of miles, and countless scarlet bright spots within the fog—those were the eyes of over 120 million Death-Reporting Crows!

Over 120 million!

Whenever he recalled those red-eyed black crows that blotted out the sky, and the dead souls that surged into the Dead Realm like a tsunami after the Death-Reporting Crows flew into the depths of the Dead Realm, the Crocodile God's soul would tremble involuntarily.

This red-haired woman in front of him, who looked quite kind, had sent 130 million dead souls into the Dead Realm in just over two minutes. The "road of no return," which had been unobstructed for who knows how many years, was blocked by the frantically surging dead souls for the first time.

Even though the masters of the Dead Realm, who noticed the unusual movement of the Death-Reporting Crows, had taken action to alleviate it at the first opportunity, it was still a drop in the bucket for the constantly increasing dead souls. Almost every second, millions of dead souls were squeezed off the road of no return and fell into the Huang Quan River below.

By the last half-minute, not only had the road of no return that summoned the dead souls completely stopped, but even the Huang Quan River was blocked by the souls of the fallen dead. The river water, having nowhere to go, backflowed, and actually flooded a muddy marshland with a radius of hundreds of miles near the entrance of the Dead Realm.

And that big swamp that was flooded that time was exactly where he lived now...

Looking at the giant cave in the center of the muddy marshland in the distance, facing the red-haired woman who had "built a house" for him, the unlucky Crocodile God felt his eye sockets moisten, and large, hot tears of gratitude rolled down.

So the "accomplice" guarding the Dead Realm was you!

No wonder that Old Earth person pretended not to see me. With Blood Hair Ji guarding the Dead Realm, he didn't need to do anything at all. Once I returned, wouldn't I be dead for sure!

Why are you crying?

Looking at the Crocodile God who started crying on the spot without saying a word after being caught, the red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but be slightly startled. She then threw her toothbrush into the Huang Quan with a lack of public morality and walked over with a furrowed brow.

"Tell me, where did you come back from? What happened to Auntie Ai Ma and the others?"

"They... they are quite well..."

"You're lying!"

After slightly wrinkling her nose, the red-haired Bureau Chief's fox-like eyes narrowed. The hair cocoon that was originally just binding the Crocodile God dimmed slightly, turning from bright red to a dark red like venous blood, and constantly tightened inward, digging directly into the shell on its body.

"Tell the truth! Don't think that just because you are a god of the Dead Realm, I wouldn't dare to touch you!"

After smelling the scent of the Goddess of Wealth and the incomparably thick smell of blood from the Crocodile God, the red-haired Bureau Chief, worried about the situation of Hearing Li Ang and the others, was already truly angry.

According to the mission she assigned, Auntie Ai Ma went to wipe out the Weighing Gold Sect, and Hearing Li Ang went to raid the airship. No matter how she thought about it, their scents shouldn't have appeared together. Therefore, the only possibility was that Auntie Ai Ma was ambushed by the Weighing Gold Sect, or perhaps the Goddess of Wealth took action personally.

And after Hearing Li Ang completed the mission and returned to the Bureau, when he went to report his work to her, he received a call for help from Auntie Ai Ma and was taken by Tang Mu... No! It should be that he dragged Tang Mu to save her, and ended up encountering the Goddess of Wealth head-on!

Although she, who had been guarding the road of no return, didn't see their souls enter the Dead Realm—which meant they might not have been killed yet—considering the opponent was the Goddess of Wealth, the possibility of them having an accident couldn't be ruled out.

If Auntie Ai Ma and Hearing Li Ang were lost to the Weighing Gold Sect because of the mission she arranged...

Thinking of this, the red-haired Bureau Chief, whose heart became increasingly impatient, used a bit too much force in her hands. A large number of fine, sharp strands of hair had already broken through the Crocodile God's shell and sank deeply into its skin.

"Don't! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Smelling the blood scent diffusing from the dark red hair, the Crocodile God, who was shedding tears, was startled and hurriedly stammered out everything he had seen.

And as he recounted it somewhat incoherently, the impatience in the red-haired Bureau Chief's eyes slowly faded, gradually turning into deep confusion.

Hearing Li Ang almost killed the Goddess of Wealth?

And he is a person from the Old Earth? Infiltrated the Cleaning Bureau with ulterior motives?

Finally, he was caught by the Goddess of Wealth, and to avoid exposing his identity, he could only agree to cooperate with her temporarily?

What is all this nonsense?

"Everything I said is true!"

Faintly discovering that Blood Hair Ji didn't seem to be in the same group as the "Old Earth person," the Crocodile God, who reignited his hope for life, was afraid that this god of slaughter would skin him into sashimi if she was unhappy, so he hurriedly swore:

"I swear to the great Death, this is all what I saw with my own eyes! I guarantee there is no lie!

And after he saved the male cleaner later, he also spoke according to the agreement with the Goddess of Wealth. At that time, the Goddess of Wealth had already left; he wouldn't have any reason to lie again, right?"

That might not be the case.

Recalling the caution that Hearing Li Ang and Auntie Ai Ma "inherited from the same source," the red-haired woman couldn't help but furrow her brows.

Given Hearing Li Ang's personality of lacking a sense of security, the reason he didn't tell Tang Mu the truth was mostly because he was worried that the Goddess of Wealth hadn't left yet and would cause more trouble if she heard his "revelation," so he decided to hide it temporarily.

After all, although that black goat's soul vision was quite good, for a True God who could disguise their soul, it couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any omissions. The Crocodile God who succeeded in playing dead proved this point. Hearing Li Ang's choice to hide it first was not a problem.

As for the trump card that negated the authority of the Goddess of Wealth, it should have been that time he received the wine from Director Golden Bull and got dead drunk. At that time, even her own 【Slaughtering Blood Hair】 was turned into bubbles, so it was normal that the Goddess of Wealth couldn't hurt him.

If her guess was correct, Hearing Li Ang probably used some method to bluff the Goddess of Wealth and found a way to scare her away, and that status as a visitor from the Old Earth was purely nonsense... Hmm...

It didn't seem to be entirely nonsense?

Thinking about Hearing Li Ang's secrets, the red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

Although based on her understanding of Hearing Li Ang, he couldn't be the kind of person with "ulterior motives," there were indeed many strange things about Hearing Li Ang. Even if he didn't have bad intentions himself, it would be best to check him a little bit, so he wouldn't be fooled by some strange existences.

It just so happened that she was in the Dead Realm now, and no matter what, once something arrived in the Dead Realm, it couldn't hide its existence. Why not just bring Hearing Li Ang and the others down and check them thoroughly? ===== CHAPTER 318 =====
