Chapter 1018: Collaborative Abnormalities and the Truth of the Past

"Umm... I... I..."

Seeing the two people entangled in a rather compromising position, the Madam who Crashed Through hastily covered her face with her hands and stammered, "I didn’t... I thought you..."

"Enough, no need to explain, I understand."

Sighing slightly, Liang gently placed the now flustered Veronica back in her original position. He then said with a strained expression, "One of you is the Madam who Crashed Through, and the other is Hassles Galore. Together, you two practically form a Collaborative Abnormality. It would be strange if you weren’t here at a time like this... So, what’s the matter now?"

"Director, it’s the Director who sent me!"

Realizing that Liang wasn’t going to blame her, the Madam who Crashed Through let out a relieved sigh and hurriedly explained, "I was just tidying up my office and getting ready to sleep when the Director knocked on my door and told me to come find you. She said that the Headquarters received some very important information and that you need to attend a meeting right away."

Very important information?

Liang was slightly taken aback by this and furrowed his brows, "What kind of information? How important is it?"

"The Director didn’t tell me the specifics..."

The Madam who Crashed Through shook her head, "She said that the confidentiality level of this matter is almost at its highest, so she couldn’t tell me the details. She only asked you to go to the Headquarters for a meeting... Oh, and one more thing."

At this point, the Madam who Crashed Through seemed to remember something and, with a face as red as a tomato, she mumbled, "The Director also said that although this matter is very urgent, it’s not something that can be resolved immediately. So, if... if you’re... well... busy, you don’t have to go to the Headquarters in person. Just send your consciousness to the Taurus Star Palace."

"Alright... I appreciate the trouble you’ve gone through at such a late hour..."

"It’s no trouble at all."

After relaying the message from the Red-haired Commissioner, the Madam who Crashed Through visibly let out a sigh of relief and then, with her neck retracted, she said, "Then I won’t disturb you anymore. You can continue... umm... what you were doing... I mean, you can continue... that..."

"You don’t have to say it, I understand..."

Seeing the Madam who Crashed Through struggle to finish her sentence, her face turning red again, Liang sighed and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can just leave. There’s no need to formally say goodbye to me."

"No... sorry..."

Hearing Liang’s words, the Madam who Crashed Through visibly relaxed, her shoulders dropping as if a great weight had been lifted. She then quickly rode her dog out the window. Once she was gone, Veronica, who had been watching the exchange, couldn’t help but look at Liang with an expression that was particularly strained, "She is..."

"She’s my colleague. Her abnormality is Madam who Crashed Through. Whenever something ‘big’ happens, or when there’s something particularly private that she doesn’t want others to discover, she will inevitably crash through."

After explaining the Madam who Crashed Through’s ability, Liang sighed, "But I just realized that not only her abnormality, but also your Hassles Galore is probably contributing to the situation. Basically, whenever you... well... the two of you start to work in tandem, she gets summoned over... Never mind, let’s not talk about this."

Closing his eyes, Liang sensed the situation at the Taurus Star Palace and found that it was indeed open, and both the Taurus Director and the Cancer Director were already in place. He couldn’t help but apologize, "I was hoping to have a few days off and spend some quality time with you, but if the Director is this urgent, it must be something really big. I guess I have to take a look first."

"It’s fine, I understand."

Though her eyes almost screamed, "I don’t understand," Queen Veronica still nodded slightly and softly replied, "It’s not your fault. I’m always busy too... Go quickly. What you have to do is more important than what I’m doing."

"Uh-huh."

Noticing that more wills were surging towards the Government Headquarters with the opening of the Taurus Star Palace, Liang chose not to say more. Instead, he closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and, leveraging the connections between the Twelve Zodiac Palaces, projected the majority of his will there.

"Sorry..."

Facing the gradually forming shadow of Liang across the table, the Taurus Director spoke with a hint of guilt:

"You finally get a few days off, and I really didn't want to bother you, but the matter at hand is too important. And with my and the Cancer Director's situations... sigh..."

"You're too kind."

Waving it off, Liang asked with some confusion:

"What's going on at the Bureau? Why are you so urgent to find me?"

"It's not an issue with the Bureau, but with Old Earth."

The weary Cancer Director took over, his expression somewhat complicated:

"The Director and Aries Director, among others, have once again killed the past Crimson Ruler and reclaimed a large piece of the [Life Span Fragment]. It's enough to add forty years to the lives of everyone in the Xuanshi, extending our human lifespan to two hundred years."

"?!?"

Hearing the Cancer Director's words, Liang's eyebrows involuntarily rose, and he exclaimed with some surprise:

"That's fantastic news!"

"Of course, it's good news... but there are significant problems."

The Taurus Director chuckled bitterly:

"Liang, you know the current situation at the Bureau. If it were just two ordinary Pillar Deities, we might be able to hold our ground, but against the Four Ultimate Pillars, we might struggle to protect this fragment."

"Not necessarily."

After a moment's thought, Liang responded:

"I, the Serpentarius Director, Olivia Deputy, and Beatrix Deputy from the Leo Division can all perform at levels close to ordinary Pillar Deities even without the support of the present world's star palaces. And the Capricorn Director and six other Zodiac Bureau Heads are still at Heaven Mountain.

"With the ten of us, plus the Scorpio and Virgo Directors returning from Old Earth, we should be able to face off against two of the Four Ultimate Pillars."

"That's the second issue."

The Cancer Director's expression darkened:

"Aquarius, we are now under a blockade by the Old King, and we can't leave the Xuanshi for the time being."

"???"

"To put it simply, the Old King used its truth to form a thin shell around the Xuanshi, completely enveloping it."

As the Cancer Director spoke, he raised his hand, creating an illusion on the table. A pitch-black building hovered outside the protection of the Observation Palace, forming an immense shell that completely blocked all exits to the outside world.

"The true gods you captured have told us that this thing is called the [Hall of Yesterday], a palace left by the Old King in the Yuanshentai."

Pointing to the black building, the Cancer Director explained with a furrowed brow:

"The Taurus Director and I have studied it and found that this thing operates on a time layer that is 24 hours off from ours, making it impossible to touch. Any human attempting to leave through this shell will be forced to revert 24 hours in time, returning to their state before they attempted to leave."
