The Eighteenth Level…of Hell?!?!?!!
Watching Lyon, who seemed to have triggered some strange "switch" and was now looking excited, the two directors who had been fished out stiffened. Their hearts, which had only just recovered, skipped a beat in unison.
Although the Death Realm's "handling" of the deceased was indeed excessively cruel… this Eighteenth Level of Hell you're talking about doesn't sound much better!
“You’ve misunderstood. The Hell I’m talking about isn’t a place everyone goes to. There will definitely be a series of differentiations first. Only the wicked will be thrown in.”
Seeing the somewhat strained expressions of the two directors, Lyon, who had obtained "administrator privileges" for the first time, couldn't help but try to suppress his eager desire to replicate, and proactively explained:
“Before we took over the Death Realm, humans suffered here in vain after death. If humans still have to suffer here in vain after we take over the Death Realm, then what's the point of taking it over!
So, my idea is, either we do nothing at all, or we go all the way. Let's think of a way to completely 'bind' the Death Realm to the mortal realm, and even make it a part of the mortal realm's rules!”
Make the Death Realm a part of the mortal realm's rules?
Following this line of thought, the Taurus Director, who was more familiar with Lyon's "habits," vaguely grasped a thread and frowned as he asked:
“Do you mean… give up concealing the 'existence' of the Death Realm and let the mortal realm know some information about it?”
“Exactly.”
Lyon nodded, his eyes quite certain as he said:
“Cognition is the world. Since the Great Court Ten Races can rely on the consensus of their own races to peel off a part of the world from the mortal realm, then we can naturally do the opposite. I suggest we simply relax some of the effects of the 【Illusion Jar】 and let the news of the Death Realm spread in the mortal realm.
When the idea that 'the soul goes to the Death Realm after death, and then returns to the mortal realm' slowly becomes the consensus of the mortal realm, the Death Realm, which originally existed separately from the mortal realm, has a high probability of slowly approaching the mortal realm and eventually being completely bound together.”
“There is indeed such a possibility… but what are the benefits of doing this?”
Habitually patting his big belly, the Cancer Director said with a puzzled expression:
“The more 'abnormalities' ordinary people come into contact with, the higher their own 'Lyon Value' becomes, and the easier it is to give birth to or trigger abnormal events, which requires more cleaners to deal with…”
“But after doing this, more cleaners can also be born, which will also strengthen the Bureau’s power!”
After glancing at the expressions of the two directors, Lyon organized his words and then said with a serious expression:
“Lord Taurus, Lord Cancer, to be honest, I actually think that our Bureau has always had a big problem with its attitude towards anomalies and abnormal events in the past.
Faced with newly born anomalies and abnormal events, our ideas and practices have always been how to suppress the situation and how to eliminate the impact as soon as possible. This is too passive, and with the current manpower, it is simply impossible to handle.
So, instead of trying to lower everyone's taint value as much as possible and then chasing after the outbreak of abnormal events to put out fires everywhere, it's better to simply relax some of the suppression and instead increase the number of potential cleaners.”
“Lyon… actually, the Bureau has had predecessors try this idea before, but the results weren't very good.”
The Taurus Director sighed, his expression not very good as he said:
“The Bureau and the Moon People once had a honeymoon period. The eighth-generation Ophiuchus Director temporarily released the shielding of the Blood Moon, and for a month, would allow the Blood Moon to shine on the earth for 3-5 seconds every midnight, increasing a small portion of the population's Lyon Value by about .
Its purpose was to cultivate a group of cleaners. By the end of the year, the number of third-level cleaners in the Ophiuchus Branch had indeed increased by 30%, but abnormal events directly increased by 200%, and most of them were inclined towards 'malignancy', causing considerable casualties.
After that, this kind of attempt was completely stopped, and the eighth-generation Ophiuchus Director was also removed from his position and went to guard the Astral Realm for more than eighty years, until he died of old age and never returned…”
So the Bureau had tried something similar before?
After glancing at the Taurus Director with some surprise, Lyon was slightly silent for a moment, and then tentatively said:
“Lord Taurus, you said that the eighth-generation Ophiuchus Director didn't succeed, could it be not that his idea was wrong, but that the world itself was wrong?”
“???”
“Lord Taurus, do you know? Most people in most kingdoms in the mortal realm actually live very hard lives. It's difficult enough just to live stably.”
After slightly organizing his words, Lyon rummaged in the Mirror World, found a wristwatch with six hands and handed it over, and then patiently explained:
“I have learned the Aquarius Palace's secret art of anomaly creation, and I am quite knowledgeable about the birth of anomalies… According to the theory of the Aquarius secret art, the birth of most anomalies needs to meet certain conditions.
A painful past or a great future, a special soul or a special body, intense emotions or a paranoid personality, each of these three sets of characteristics must occupy at least one, and the ability and tendency of the born anomaly are also necessarily related to these characteristics.
For ordinary people in that attempt, the easiest formula to put together for the birth of an anomaly was [Painful Experience] + [Body Irradiated by the Blood Moon] + [Outbreak of Negative Emotions], and the effects of anomalies born through this negative formula are of course negative.
After obtaining abilities beyond ordinary people, they naturally couldn't immediately forget the pain of the past, but would begin to frantically retaliate by instinct, until they were tainted and dominated by the anomaly in reverse, and finally completely lost the ability to control themselves, becoming an abnormal disaster that indiscriminately attacked everyone…”
“I understand!”
Hearing this, the Cancer Director, who had been frowning and thinking hard, couldn't help but light up.
“You want to use the situation of that hell to promote that one must be tortured after death for the evil deeds of their life, to scare the humans of the mortal realm, forcing them to reduce their evil deeds, and thus reduce the birth of anomalies with negative attributes?”
“It's persuasion… or deterrence is also fine!”
After correcting the Cancer Director's overly blunt statement, Lyon said with a glint in his eyes:
“Moreover, the deterrence of the Death Realm alone is not enough. We must also use the Bureau's influence over the royal families of various countries to require them to improve the current situation, otherwise doing so would just be drinking poison to quench thirst.
After all, the root of the problem is the overly painful lives of most people. As long as this problem is not solved, then no matter how much other places are changed, it will be useless.”
