Chapter 384

~7 min read 1,397 words

The descent of the Nightmare King is already inevitable?

After hearing the red-haired Director's judgment, Leon's eyes couldn't help but widen instantly.

That's right, the intelligence about the locations of the strongholds of the Nightmare-Worshipping Black Sect was sent by Director Aquarius. The possibility that he played tricks in it can't be said to be very high, it can only be said to be one hundred percent!

I remember that Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma once told me that when the Fallen Soul Black Abyss overlaps with reality, the connection between the body and the soul will be weakened, and dream world creatures and related abilities will be greatly enhanced, while the Nightmare King will take the opportunity to try to invade reality.

If the Nightmare King really successfully descends, although ordinary people affected by it will not die directly, they will be entangled by nightmares for the rest of their lives, and investigators like himself will very likely be forcibly captured by it and brought into the Dream World, transformed into dream world creatures controlled by it, and permanently enslaved by it.

"Director! Hurry up and ask the General Bureau for help!"

After understanding what will happen within three days, Leon couldn't help but say anxiously:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma told me that the Nightmare King has no physical body and can travel freely in the dream, which is not the type you are good at dealing with. So can we invite a Director who is good at dealing with it, or a Director of another branch to help?"

"I'm already asking for help, but looking at the situation, it's highly likely that it won't be in time."

Raising her hand and pointing to the cabinet next to the desk, letting Leon see the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】 that was flickering slightly in the cabinet, the red-haired Director rubbed her brows and said:

"The Leon value of the Nightmare King is about 63 points, while the Leon value of the Directors of the non-Zodiac branches is only about 50-59. Only with the blessing of the Star Palace can they exert a level of 60 points.

Although it doesn't look like much of a difference, you know, a Leon value of 60 points is the dividing line between humans and gods. Facing the Nightmare King strengthened by the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, even if the small branch Directors come, they probably won't be able to help."

"Then... what about the Directors of other Zodiac branches?"

"If they can come, they can help. If two or more can come, they can even try to kill the Nightmare King, but they can't come..."

The red-haired Director sighed:

"The headquarters is currently in a state of self-sealing. Except for the three Directors, the means of others to move with the help of the Star Palace have been temporarily sealed. Those who can rush over within two days should only be people from the Leo Branch and the Scorpio Branch.

Among them, the Director of the Scorpio Branch has a grudge against me and it's unlikely he will put down what he has in hand and rush over to help immediately. And Beverly of the Leo Branch, although she has a good relationship with me, the last time you exposed Aquarius's conspiracy, the reward she asked from the General Bureau was to go to the God's Kingdom of the God of Sweets to eat snacks for a month. She is not in this world at all now, how could she rush over?"

"Then..."

"I'm asking the Directors over there."

After pointing to the two fish-shaped emblems swimming around a round ball at the top of the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】, the red-haired Director said:

"Director Pisces is very good at dreams and souls. If he is willing to make a move, the two of us can completely go deep into the Fallen Soul Black Abyss and forcibly block the Nightmare King in the Dream World, but I guess he should be..."

"Buzz..."

As if to echo the red-haired Director's words, the Pisces emblem swimming above the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】 stabilized, and a little girl with a face full of surprise appeared in the mirror.

"Olivia~ Are you coming to play with me?"

"He should be in a state where he can't make a move right now."

After finishing the second half of the sentence, in Leon's somewhat stunned expression, the red-haired Director grabbed her hair that had been messed up by sleep and said with a face full of helplessness:

"Play later, Your Excellency Pisces, I have other things to be busy with now... Are Your Excellency Taurus and Your Excellency Sagittarius next to you?"

"Alright then..."

After the invitation was rejected by the red-haired Director, the little girl with a look of disappointment pouted, but still nodded obediently, stepped on a pair of squeaky children's shoes, and ran away from in front of the mirror.

"I'll go help you call them!"

"Thank you."

"..."

"Just now, this child was called Mimi, and she counts as one-fourth of Director Pisces."

After the little girl disappeared to the other end of the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】, the red-haired Director turned her head and explained to Leon, who was full of surprise:

"Director Pisces's situation is relatively special. His soul was divided into four parts: male, female, old, and young by anomalous objects, which are a six or seven-year-old girl, a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old young man, a forty-five or forty-six-year-old middle-aged woman, and an eighty-something-year-old old man.

And his body is controlled by these four souls, two men and two women, in turns from young to old. Although the four souls of the same origin have all been recognized by the Pisces Star Palace, the only one among them who truly has the level of a Director is that eighty-something-year-old old man."

"..."

That is to say, Director Pisces only has one-fourth of the time to have Director-level combat power?

Looking at the pink rocking chair in front of the mirror after the six-year-old Director Pisces left, Leon, who was a bit unable to hold it together, couldn't help but ask:

"With so many anomalous objects in the General Bureau, is there no way to swap the eighty-year-old Director Pisces out in advance?"

"Can't swap him out."

The red-haired Director shook her head:

"About twenty or thirty years ago, Director Aquarius, who hadn't rebelled yet, once joined forces with Director Taurus to create an anomalous object aimed at the soul, wanting to solve the problem of Director Pisces's soul splitting.

But even after gathering two secret techniques, they didn't succeed in the end. They just fixed Director Pisces's originally disordered souls, turning them into alternating from young to old in order.

And that eighty-something-year-old Director Pisces just came out when you went to the headquarters to expose Aquarius's conspiracy. Next, he has to go through another round from old to young before it's his turn to appear... It is estimated that it will take more than a month."

Wait another month... By then, the day lily would have been cold eight times!

After having a deeper understanding of the fact that the Bureau of Investigation is an unreliable grass-roots team, Leon was about to open his mouth to ask again, but heard hurried footsteps coming from the other end of the Celestial Sphere Mirror. The six-year-old version of Pisces who had just run away ran back excitedly, pulling one person with each hand.

"Olivia! I brought people back for you! Next time you come..."

"Next time she comes, I will definitely let her bring you more interesting toys."

After interrupting her words, Director Taurus, whose expression was slightly haggard, touched the little girl's head lovingly, and then said warmly:

"Mimi, we still have things to discuss. You go play over there first, okay?"

"Oh..."

Seeming to see that the expressions of Director Taurus and the red-haired Director were not quite right, the little girl blinked her eyes, pouted and responded, and ran away in her squeaky little shoes, while Director Taurus took her place and sat opposite the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】.

"Olivia, I happen to have something to tell you."

Before the red-haired Director could reveal the news that Director Aquarius was still alive, Director Taurus, with a heavy expression, spoke first, sighing with anxiety in her eyes:

"The Watchtower Palace... might have a problem."
