Chapter 386

"I'm afraid not..."

After hearing the request made by Director Taurus, the middle-aged man with the national-character face hesitated for a moment, then frowned and refused:

"Even if the headquarters is closed, it cannot guarantee absolute safety, and you are about to ascend the palace and cannot be disturbed. I cannot leave now!"

"It should be fine, it's only less than a week."

After thinking about it, Director Taurus opened her mouth to persuade again:

"The location of the headquarters is very safe. Ordinary people can't come up, and there are two Directors, me and Mimi, here. Even if we are watched by a large number of True Gods, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on until you return for support."

"This... still won't do. You understand the importance of the Watchtower Palace. We simply can't afford to gamble."

The middle-aged man with the national-character face was slightly moved, but in the end, he shook his head:

"Your ability in combat is not outstanding, and the true soul of Director Pisces is sleeping. Mimi's mentality is only about six years old. Except for being able to normally unfold the Star Palace, she simply can't exert the effect of the Pisces secret technique.

If I leave the headquarters and leave the two of you alone, once any unexpected situation occurs, then everything will be over. I can't take this risk!"

"But Olivia's side is also very urgent!"

Director Taurus closed her collar, her face full of worry:

"Her ability is strong, but she can't take any advantage against the Nightmare King. Even if she takes the risk to actively go deep into the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, she can't catch the Nightmare King who can travel freely in the dreams of living beings.

If we just leave it alone, once the Nightmare King successfully descends, even if we can help from a distance and use one-fourth of the sun to burn the Dream World to reduce the harm caused by the Nightmare King, the number of people affected will be in the millions!"

"Although the scope of influence is large, those people will only have nightmares for a lifetime and will not die!"

Director Sagittarius insisted:

"After this attack, we can set the effect of the 【Illusion Can】 higher. In this way, even if the affected people have nightmares, they will immediately forget them after waking up, and the impact on their lifespan and soul can be reduced to the minimum!"

"That will still have an impact!"

Director Taurus said anxiously:

"When these people tortured by nightmares get old, their souls will leave their bodies earlier than normal people. Many years before they truly die, they will begin to lose their memories one after another, or even directly become empty shells that have lost their souls!

And what about the investigators of the Virgin Branch? After the Nightmare King descends, it will definitely search for their souls in the first place! Those little guys are still performing tasks, if..."

"The people of the Virgin Branch can be withdrawn in advance!"

The middle-aged man with the national-character face had his face tightened, and he said stubbornly:

"Haven't they all been sent out? Now let the people from the Scorpio Branch and the Leo Branch move out, find them according to the address, and notify them to withdraw from the kingdom within three days!

The Nightmare King has always been cautious and will never easily leave the Fallen Soul Black Abyss. As long as the investigators of the Virgin Branch withdraw fast enough, there is a high probability that they can escape, and even return after the Fallen Soul Black Abyss leaves. Everything will not have any changes..."

"How can there be no changes?"

Facing the repeated refusal of the middle-aged man with the national-character face, Director Taurus, who had always had a good temper, rarely got angry. Her gentle face was overflowing with white light, not looking as gentle and kind as before. A thick blood color spread from her cheekbones to her eyebrows.

"Andrew! That's millions of people! And the work of the Bureau of Investigation is to protect..."

"The work of the Bureau of Investigation is to ensure the survival of humanity. Under the premise of ensuring this, it is the turn to protect ordinary people from being affected!"

Facing Director Taurus's anger, the middle-aged man with the national-character face had his brows locked tightly, his gaze met hers without avoiding, and he said resolutely:

"Since Aquarius can cooperate with the Nightmare King in order to repair his soul, it is not impossible for him to cooperate with others. Once something goes wrong on your side, it won't just be those millions of people who are affected, so I will absolutely not leave!"

"But it's only for a week! I can..."

"Facing an opponent who can peek at the future and has more than one time-series anomalous object, don't talk about a week, even a loophole of one minute cannot be given!"

"Two, please stop arguing first."

Facing the dispute between the two current Directors, the red-haired Director finally found a chance to interject.

After glancing at the stubborn middle-aged man with the national-character face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, knowing that it was impossible to invite him no matter what, so she took the initiative to say:

"Your Excellency Taurus, let's do it according to Director Sagittarius's proposal... Please help me contact people from other branches around, find Emma and the others as soon as possible, and let them withdraw from the kingdom in advance."

"Olivia?! How can you..."

"Your Excellency Taurus, please listen to me first."

After interrupting Director Taurus's words, the red-haired Director looked at the middle-aged man with the national-character face in the 【Celestial Sphere Mirror】 and said calmly:

"What Director Sagittarius said is not unreasonable. Aquarius wanting to repair his soul by relying on the power of the Nightmare King is just my personal guess. Maybe his true purpose is to trick Director Sagittarius out of the headquarters.

After all, the anomalous object that helps Mimi stabilize her soul was made by him and you together, and Director Aquarius is also very clear about the rules of the four souls of Director Pisces alternating.

In the case that Aquarius knows that the headquarters is actually very empty, we still can't rule out the possibility that he is preparing to take advantage of the emptiness to attack the headquarters. We should indeed be extra careful."

Seeing that the red-haired Director also admitted that there was this possibility, Director Taurus's expression stagnated, then she frowned and asked:

"Then what about your side? Are you really going to leave the Nightmare King alone?"

"That, of course, won't do either."

The red-haired Director shook her head:

"Although it is difficult, the things that should be done still have to be done... Please prepare with the two Directors, Pisces and Sagittarius. Before and after the descent of the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, mobilize the three Zodiac Star Palaces to burn the Dream World in advance to reduce the pressure on our side."

When she said this, she hesitated slightly, but still took a deep breath and requested:

"In addition, please help me contact the Director of the Scorpio Branch, and with the identities of the three of you, forcibly order him to come over to help immediately. On my side... if he can come to help, then at the end of the year review this year, I can kneel and apologize to him in front of everyone at the headquarters!"

"Olivia..."

Looking at the red-haired Director with clenched fists, Director Taurus's lips moved slightly, then she sighed and said:

"I will talk to him. You have really been wronged this time."

Wronged is indeed wronged... but being wronged is better than large-scale deaths. At least the heart will feel more comfortable.

The red-haired Director smiled upon hearing this and didn't speak. And the middle-aged man with the national-character face at the other end of the Celestial Sphere Mirror, after looking at her, hesitated slightly, then stretched out his finger and drew a Sagittarius emblem of a bow-holding centaur on the mirror surface of the Celestial Sphere Mirror with his fingernail.
