Chapter 924: #924 - Demolition and new regulations

Montesquieu Granny Soup... What a strange name. If I were to watch the pot, would it be called Joan of Arc Grandma Soup?

After mentally complaining about Leon's strange naming sense, Taurus Director narrowed his eyes and looked towards the 'Bridge of Helplessness.' Seeing that everything was operating normally, he temporarily relaxed and praised with an approving expression:

"Looks good... The Underworld was completely shattered before. I thought it would take decades to repair it to its original state. I didn't expect you to spend just over a month to reorganize a stable new process, and it looks much better than before."

"You flatter me."

Although the idea for the Underworld was copied from his previous life, he did the work himself, and he localized it bit by bit. Leon simply accepted the credit and blinked as he asked:

"Lord Taurus, what did the Third Generation Director say? Did you persuade him?"

"No..."

Hearing Leon's words, Taurus Director's expression darkened slightly.

"He said he'd lived in the Sage's Cemetery for too long, and he has many old friends there. He'd rather die there than move! He also said that if I have the ability, I can just kill him. Otherwise, if I force him to move again, he'll join the L戮 King Society."

"..."

This old geezer definitely has a problem! And the Sage's Cemetery might also have a problem!

After listening to Taurus Director's account, Leon clicked his tongue and narrowed his eyes to think.

Although the Third Generation old man isn't necessarily the 'enemy,' he's hiding so deeply and deliberately avoiding me, so he must have some other plans. If I leave him alone, he might cause some unexpected trouble.

Having been squatting in the Sage's Cemetery for thousands of years, turning it into his territory, it would be too easy for the Third Generation old man to hide something inside. Therefore, my plan is to take advantage of this major Underworld renovation to 'excavate' him from the Sage's Cemetery.

After checking the situation in the Sage's Cemetery, I'll move the Third Generation old man and his coffin to a place with many people... many dead people, so that his every move is exposed, so I can be prepared if something really happens.

But now it seems he doesn't want to cooperate, stubbornly refusing to move. He even kept the Sage's undead souls and beat back the dead I sent to demolish the place... Then don't blame me for being ruthless!

"Lord Taurus,"

After calculating the 'cards' in his hand, Leon looked up at the depressed Taurus Director and requested with a smile:

"Please trouble you to make one last trip to persuade him."

"I've run several times, and I can't persuade him!"

"This time is different."

Pointing to the Eighteen Levels of Hell in the distance, Leon said with a smile:

"Please tell the Third Generation Director that if he doesn't move, tomorrow I'll open the Boiling Excrement Hell at the entrance of the Sage's Cemetery... No, I'll dig a circle around the Sage's Cemetery, like a moat, and surround the Sage's Cemetery in the middle, then immediately start boiling, and keep boiling until he's willing to move!"

...

"Ahahaha! How did he come up with that!"

Looking at the internal files of the Cleansing Bureau in his hand, which showed a ring of feces... a circular Hell pit surrounding the Sage's Cemetery, and imagining the possible expression of a certain square-headed old man, the red-haired Director couldn't help but slam the table and laugh until tears almost came out.

Bringing Leon into the Virgo Branch was definitely the most correct thing I've done in my life, ahahaha! It's a pity I have to guard the [Eleven Ant Nests] and can't leave easily, otherwise I really want to go down again and see what Leon has done to the Underworld.

"Director!"

After waiting in front of the desk for a long time, the red-haired Director only laughed and didn't speak. A female Cleaner in a white coat became anxious and couldn't help but urge:

"Have you decided yet? Can you transfer me to the Underworld for a period of time? I want to see the Boiling Excrement Hell and look for materials that can be used to make medicine."

"I... Ahahaha... Amiens, don't worry, it's not difficult to go down now."

After laughing enough, the red-haired Director wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, then opened the drawer and rummaged through it, found two documents inside, and handed them over with a smile, explaining:

"This is a notice just issued by the Bureau. From the official operation of the Underworld Branch, every Cleaner who joins the Cleansing Bureau will receive corresponding benefits according to their current rating, and they must also visit and study regularly. After participating in the promotion assessment, they must go to study once.

And I have already reported your name in advance. After the Underworld Branch officially opens at the end of the month, you can go directly to visit, meet your deceased relatives, and then see the situation of the Eighteen Levels of Hell... Oh, by the way, you have to pay attention to your methods when you go out on missions in the future."

Speaking of this, the smile on the red-haired Director's face slightly subsided, and then he earnestly instructed:

"Leon became the Aquarius Director, and many regulations have been changed under his promotion. Now, anyone who deliberately expands the situation or causes accidental casualties, even if they complete the task, will be punished... For example, the last time you flooded half the city with poop, it would be subject to accountability afterward.

Even if you didn't cause any casualties that time, and the traces were cleared by the [Illusion Jar], you wouldn't be severely punished now, but a reduced rating is inevitable, and even some corresponding benefits may be cut."

"Benefits?"

"It's some special preferential treatment provided by the Bureau after it took down the Underworld and established the Underworld Branch under Leon's suggestion, as well as several extra guarantees when going out on missions."

Turning the document to the second page, the red-haired Director's fair fingertips tapped on it, and then he said succinctly:

"Now, all Cleaners must submit some flesh and blood materials and trace amounts of soul samples after joining the job. Scholars from the former Coroc Kingdom will use scientific means to replicate an empty body and freeze it in several specific safe locations, updated every three years.

And when you die because of a mission, as long as your soul can run out, go to the Gate of Hell in the Underworld to register, and then you can enter the resurrection process. After getting the right materials, we will shoot you back from the Underworld and use the body prepared in advance to resurrect you."

"?!!!"

"Remember not to tell anyone yet, this is still in the trial operation stage. How long it will take to fully roll out depends on whether any problems are encountered during operation."

Looking at the shocked Amiens in front of him, the red-haired Director, in a very good mood, couldn't help but smile, and then earnestly instructed:

"The reason I'm telling you this in advance is just to let you know that you must try to protect your soul as much as possible in future missions. If you really can't escape, then abandon your body in advance and go directly to the Underworld to report, so you still have a chance to come back.

However, according to the Bureau's intention, as a price for providing this guarantee, all Cleaners must also restrain their behavior and minimize casualties as much as possible... Remember, it's not death, it's casualties. Soaking the entire city in poop soup is also considered large-scale damage!"

"Oh... I remember..."

Slightly regretfully nodding, Amiens looked at the documents on the table, and then in the hand-drawn photo of the "Underworld Branch Completion Ceremony", he saw Leon, Taurus, and Cancer Directors in the same frame.

"Leon is really amazing. It hasn't been long, and he's already sitting in the position of Director."

Looking at Leon, who was making a V-sign towards the camera and smiling exceptionally brightly in the hand-drawn 'photo', and Emma, who was looking at him with gentle eyes that seemed to be able to speak, Amiens couldn't help but marvel:

"It doesn't seem like it's been long since the exam in the Dream Realm. Now, when I see him again, I have to call him Lord Leon. Emma has also become the Branch Director of the Underworld Branch... Hmm... Director, look here!"

Narrowing his eyes and looking at the photo, Amiens couldn't help but point to the top of Leon's head and asked with a frown:

"Is this a mistake? Why does Leon's hair seem to have a small white streak?"
