Chapter 339: Three Wishes
Chapter 339: Three Wishes
"You're looking quite spirited today~"
The Red-Haired Director, with her legs crossed nonchalantly, smiled at the terrified Triscephalon before her. "So, what are you planning to do after I die? Are you going to bite me too?"
"..."
Not just one bite, I wish I could bite you a thousand times! A million times!
These thoughts swirled in his mind, but he knew better than to voice them out loud. Facing this woman, any such words would only bring him more trouble.
Having been beaten by the Red-Haired Director countless times, Triscephalon knew when to follow his instincts. Sensing the tightening tension in his body, he immediately wagged his tail cheerfully, causing the surrounding marsh to bubble and gurgle.
"What I mean is, when you truly... arrive, I'll be sure to welcome you at the entrance!"
While on guard duty, he had to fight this red-haired woman due to his responsibilities. Otherwise, neglecting his duty could result in a loss of power. But now that she had already beaten him, he had technically fulfilled his duty and didn't need to endure another beating.
Once free from the constraints of the Gate of the Underworld, Triscephalon instantly transformed from a stubborn and rigid guard dog into a submissive dog, his tail tucked between his legs. His three faces, each larger than a dining table, were filled with appeasement as he said, "Lady Olivia, have you finished your business and decided to return? Do you need me to open the gate for you?"
"No, I still have unfinished business."
After declining Triscephalon's offer, the Red-Haired Director smiled enigmatically. "If you could be this obedient while on guard duty, I wouldn't have to beat you so often."
"Well... my power is to distinguish between life and death. If I let you in directly, it would be hard to explain to the other Sovereigns..."
"Yes, yes, I understand you have your reasons. That's why I've never hit you too hard... Alright, let's not waste any more words on this!"
The Red-Haired Director gazed into the distance at the massive gate that had just closed. Her expression turned serious as she asked, "Is it true that Lyon came to the Dead Realm three years ago?"
Lyon? Isn't he the one with a strong demonic aura?
"Yes, that's right."
Triscephalon paused briefly to recall, then nodded vigorously. "I can guarantee with my power that he definitely came here once before. The scent of death was very strong that time, and it wasn't like he had used an Anomaly to temporarily replace his death. It felt like a thorough and complete death!"
A thorough death...
The Red-Haired Director furrowed her brows at this information and continued her inquiry. "Then, how did he return to the living world?"
"..."
Upon hearing the Red-Haired Director's question, Triscephalon couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.
Wasn't he from your Virgin Bureau? Why are you asking me how he returned to the living world instead of inquiring with your own people?
Although he wanted to voice his thoughts, he held back, knowing his position was weaker than a dog's at this moment. Triscephalon stuck out his tongue and replied with a forced smile, "I'm not entirely sure about that. I only know for certain that he died once three years ago. Haven't you noticed the Death Raven on his head? His Death Raven should have flown into the depths of the Dead Realm with him three years ago."
"I see..."
The Red-Haired Director nodded, then narrowed her eyes slightly as she asked, "Angus, you have the strongest perception ability among the True Gods in the Dead Realm. I'm asking you, how closely is Lyon's soul connected to his body?"
"Huh?"
Triscephalon hesitated for a moment, then replied uncertainly, "It should be...
"What do you mean by 'should be'?"
The Red-Haired Bureau Chief furrowed her brows and said, "Give me an accurate answer, yes or no!"
"Then... yes?"
Triscephalos, the Dog God, cautiously replied with his tail between his legs, "I didn't sense anything wrong, but the death three years ago might have affected his soul, making his past memories very confused, but his soul and body should be unified."
Just some confusion with his memories? That's good, that's good...
...
Hearing Triscephalos' answer, the Red-Haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but heave a subtle sigh of relief.
She had originally planned to secretly follow behind and ensure Lyon and Emma's safe departure from the Dead Realm. But after overhearing the conversation between Angus and Lyon, she couldn't help but ask.
After all, the Purification Bureau was humanity's last line of defense. If an Old Earthling or someone else were to infiltrate, it wouldn't be a joke. As the Virgin Bureau Chief, even if she was reluctant to doubt Lyon, she had to be doubly cautious in this regard.
Now, with Triscephalos' response, she could finally provide preliminary proof of Lyon's "innocence." She could also feel slightly more at ease. In the end, whether Emma could overcome her psychological hurdle depended on Lyon's ability to help.
Recalling the scenes she witnessed along the way, especially the sight of Emma, who usually disliked physical contact with others, comfortably lying on Lyon's back, the Red-Haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but sigh softly.
According to the agreement between the Purification Bureau and the Dog God, purifiers could make up to three wishes on their birthdays. The first wish she made today was not to drink Lyon's bottle of wine but to solve Emma's problem, guided by her inner instincts.
Ultimately, the fulfillment of this wish would depend on Lyon. By refusing to send them out of the Dead Realm and allowing Lyon to understand Emma's unspoken past, there was a high chance of resolving Emma's issue.
Go, Lyon! Whether you can stop Emma from doing something foolish depends on how you handle the situation from now on!
I took a risk on my birthday, enduring three consecutive misfortunes, just to get this chance to solve the problem. Don't let me down!
Speaking of the three misfortunes brought by the three wishes...
Unconsciously touching her still slightly burning lips, the Red-Haired Bureau Chief's brows furrowed slightly.
The Dog God's curse on purifiers who used "wishes" would be triggered immediately after the purifier followed their inner instincts and completed all the actions necessary to fulfill the "wish."
According to the order of the three wishes, helping Lyon obtain a suitable anomaly was the first to be fulfilled. Therefore, the misfortune brought by this wish would occur after Lyon obtained the anomaly.
If calculated by time... was it when Lyon lost his first kiss? Could that even be considered a misfortune?
As for the second fulfilled wish, which was to taste the wine, the misfortune it brought was evident. She had just tasted the wine when she was hit with a strong spicy sensation, and her lips were still slightly swollen.
Emma's issue was the last to be addressed. Logically, her misfortune should have occurred before or after they left the Dead Realm. But why, until now, had no misfortune befallen her?
What was this final misfortune?
