Chapter 321: 321 The Yorick Duo

"Tsk... you just love to play those useless little tricks!"

After looking back at his coffin that had been kicked far away, the square-headed old man, who looked no different from a living person except that his eyeballs and pupils were black and white reversed, muttered with dissatisfaction:

"I've already come out of the coffin and accepted the materials you brought. Can I still crawl back before finishing the work?"

"Mm-hmm, you are right."

The red-haired Bureau Chief, who was complained about by the old man, didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and pushed the square-headed old man to the forge, helped him set up a pitch-black iron pot, and then told him about what had happened recently.

"Third Generation Lord, don't look at Hearing Li Ang as a newcomer who has joined our branch for less than a year; he has already completed many dangerous missions. Even the Water Bottle Director's conspiracy was exposed by him..."

Since the forging has already started... then I should be able to take action!

Looking at the old man who was chatting with the Bureau Chief while throwing the snake tail and the half-trident into the pot and stirring them, Hearing Li Ang confirmed that his attention had been completely attracted. He stepped back two steps on tiptoe, then carried the coffin on the ground and turned to run!

Let's turn the time back a little bit.

"Hearing Li Ang, the person we are going to see next is the second-best anomalous object blacksmith in the world, and also the third Bureau Chief of the Cleaning Bureau."

Pointing to the somewhat dilapidated cemetery in the distance, the red-haired Bureau Chief, who was holding a large shovel, instructed seriously:

"Third Generation Lord can mark a person's soul through sound. As long as you have spoken a sentence to him, you cannot escape his perception no matter where you are. So after we go in, no matter what he says to you, don't pay attention to him. If it really doesn't work, just smile at him and pretend you are a mute."

"Okay..."

Hearing Li Ang, who was also carrying a shovel, nodded and couldn't help but ask:

"Bureau Chief, the third Bureau Chief of the Cleaning Bureau should have been dead for a long time, right? Why can he still help us forge anomalous objects? After you or I die, can we be like him?"

"We definitely can't, and the Third Bureau Chief actually can't either."

The red-haired Bureau Chief shook her head:

"The real Third Lord actually died long ago. The situation of the Third Bureau Chief inside is similar to the 【King of Drama】 we caught at the Central Cross Theater when you and the Princess went to see a play. It is a collection of the Third Lord's obsession with anomalous forging."

"Back then, he learned the Golden Bull secret technique the best, better than anyone else by a large margin. Just as he was about to become the new Golden Bull Director, because his talent was truly outstanding, he was temporarily designated as the Third Bureau Chief, missing out on the beloved Golden Bull secret technique, which caused him to hold a grudge for a lifetime."

After kicking open the gate of the cemetery with a bang, the red-haired Bureau Chief counted the positions of the graves while continuing to narrate:

"You know, things like obsessions and regrets are very easy to induce anomalies, and the Third Lord himself was powerful and his forging level was truly top-notch, which increased the probability even more."

"In short, after the Third Lord died, his obsession with missing out on the Golden Bull secret technique and failing to become the best anomalous blacksmith turned into an anomaly that could forge anomalous objects, retaining his superb forging level."

"For the appearance of such a high-level blacksmith, the Bureau was naturally very happy. However, although the Third Lord's forging level was superb, he didn't truly control the Golden Bull Star Palace. Once a new Golden Bull Director appeared, he could only become the second-best anomalous blacksmith."

"Even if every generation of Golden Bull Directors had a forging level much worse than his, after adding the blessing of the Golden Bull Star Palace, they were just a line stronger than him. No matter how they compared, he couldn't win... Hearing Li Ang, go dig that grave. The Third Lord is not buried here; he might have changed places."

After pointing to the grave opposite her, the red-haired Bureau Chief dug a hole in a new grave and continued:

"At first, the Third Lord could still endure it, but after a few generations, he, who was strong-willed, couldn't stand the feeling of being second forever, so he asked people to send him to the Dead Realm, calling himself the best blacksmith among the dead."

"And every time a Golden Bull Director died, the soul that lost the blessing of the Golden Bull Star Palace would be dragged by him to compare, proving who was the strongest blacksmith."

"And the Golden Bull Director of this generation chose to ascend the palace, so her soul wouldn't reach the Dead Realm. He lost the opportunity to compare with the Golden Bull Lord without the blessing of the star palace to prove who was the strongest blacksmith, so he was so angry that he got into the coffin and buried himself directly... Hmm, it should be this one!"

After digging seven or eight graves in a row, she finally shoveled to the coffin. The red-haired Bureau Chief nodded with satisfaction, then called Hearing Li Ang over to help dig out the coffin that was covered with a large iron pot.

"Remember, don't talk to him."

After instructing again, the red-haired Bureau Chief threw away the shovel and pointed to the coffin covered with the big pot:

"The forge is next to the cemetery. After I help him set up the pot, you steal his coffin after the Third Lord starts forging!"

"Ah?"

"Don't 'ah', you'll know if you touch it."

After pressing Hearing Li Ang's hand on the coffin, the red-haired Bureau Chief explained:

"Although you can release Auntie Ai Ma from 【Ghostly Green Dream】, she died over three hundred times in there, and many parts of her body have become emerald, and even her soul has been mixed with some power of the Ghostly Green Dream."

"Although there are many anomalous objects that can help Auntie Ai Ma solve the problem, most of these level of things are collected in the General Bureau. Only the Third Lord's coffin is left outside, so we can only steal his coffin."

"..."

Looking at the pitch-black big pot and the gray coffin, Hearing Li Ang hesitated:

"Bureau Chief, why do we have to steal his coffin? Can't we just borrow it from him?"

"If he were willing to lend it, would I need to think of a way to steal it?"

After rolling her eyes at Hearing Li Ang, the red-haired Bureau Chief urged:

"The living Third Bureau Chief would definitely be willing to lend us the coffin, but the dead Third Lord, no matter how much he looks like a person, is actually just a collection of obsessions. To him now, becoming the strongest blacksmith is more important than anything else."

"And once this coffin is lied in by someone else, the dead form he has been maintaining will be slowly interrupted, and he will change from the strongest blacksmith among the dead back to the second strongest blacksmith among the living, so he definitely won't lend it..."

"Oh, in short, listen to me. I'm responsible for finding a way to hold him back, and you're responsible for stealing his coffin. Then put Auntie Ai Ma in and cover the lid to stifle her for a while. After Auntie Ai Ma's injury is healed, return the coffin secretly. Everything will be done! Any questions?" ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
