Chapter 924: Eviction and New Rules

Montesquieu's Maternal Soup... What a strange name. If I were to take over the cooking, would it be called Joan of Arc Granny Soup instead?

After mentally mocking Lyon's peculiar naming style, the Taurus Director couldn't help but squint and gaze towards the direction of "The Bridge of How," noticing that everything was indeed functioning smoothly. He temporarily put his mind at ease and praised with appreciation:

"It looks good... The Dead Realm was completely destroyed, and I thought it would take several decades to restore it to its former state. I didn't expect you to establish an entirely new and stable process in just over a month, and it looks much better than before."

"You're too kind."

Although the idea for the Underworld was copied from his past life, Lyon had executed the plan himself and localized it step by step. Thus, he decided to take credit for it. He blinked and asked, "Your Highness Taurus, what did the Third-Generation Director say? Did you manage to persuade him?"

"No..."

Upon hearing Lyon's words, the Taurus Director's face darkened slightly.

"He said he's been living in the Sage's Graveyard for a long time, and there are many of his old friends there. He'd rather stay there than move! He even said that if I have the ability, I should just kill him directly. Otherwise, if I force him to move again, he'll join the Execution King's Association."

"..."

This old man is indeed problematic! And the Sage's Graveyard might also be an issue!

After listening to the Taurus Director's report, Lyon couldn't help but click his tongue and began pondering with narrowed eyes.

Although the Old Man might not necessarily be an "enemy," he was hiding so deeply and deliberately avoiding Lyon, indicating that he had other plans. If left unattended, he might cause some unexpected trouble.

Having camped in the Sage's Graveyard for several thousand years and turned it into his territory, it would be incredibly easy for the Old Man to hide something there. Therefore, Lyon's plan was to take advantage of this opportunity to renovate the Dead Realm and "dig out" the Old Man from the Sage's Graveyard.

After inspecting the situation in the Sage's Graveyard, Lyon would move the Old Man and his coffin to a place with many people... and many dead people. This way, all his actions would be exposed, allowing Lyon to be prepared if something went wrong.

If he could also detain the wise souls within and even beat up the dead souls Lyon sent for the eviction... then don't blame him for being ruthless!

"Your Highness Taurus."

After assessing the "cards" in his hand, Lyon looked up at the sullen Taurus Director and requested with a smile:

"Could you please make one last trip and try to persuade him again?"

"I've been there several times, but he won't budge!"

"This time it's different."

Lyon pointed towards the distant Eighteenth Circle of Hell, then smiled and said:

"Please tell the Third-Generation Lord that if he doesn't move, I'll open the Boiling Excrement Hell at the entrance of the Sage's Graveyard tomorrow... No, I'll dig a circle around the Sage's Graveyard, like a moat, enclosing it in the center. Then, I'll start boiling and keep boiling until he agrees to move!"

...

"Ahaha! He came up with that idea!"

Looking at the cleaning bureau's internal file, which showed the fecal ring-shaped hell pit surrounding the Sage's Graveyard, and imagining the possible expression of a certain square-headed old man, the red-haired director couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, laughing so hard that tears almost came to his eyes.

Inviting Lyon to the Virgo Bureau was undoubtedly the best decision he had ever made in his life. Ahaha! Unfortunately, he had to stay and guard the Eleventh Ant Nest and couldn't leave. Otherwise, he would have loved to go down and see how Lyon had transformed the Dead Realm.

"Director!"

After waiting at the desk for half a day and seeing that the red-haired director was only laughing without speaking, a female cleaner in a white lab coat couldn't contain her impatience. She urged, "Have you made up your mind? Can I be assigned to the Dead Realm for a while? I want to see that Boiling Excrement Hell and look for materials that can be used for alchemy."

"Me... Ahaha... Amien, don't be impatient. It's not difficult to go down there now."

After laughing enough, the red-haired director wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand. He then opened a drawer, searched through it, and found a file, which he handed over with a smile.

"This is a notice just issued by the bureau. From the official operation of the Underworld Bureau onwards, every cleaner who joins the Cleaning Bureau will receive corresponding welfare benefits according to their current rating. They will also have to visit and study regularly, and after participating in promotion assessments, they must go and study..."

And I've already submitted your name in advance. Once the Underworld Branch officially opens at the end of the month, you can go there directly to visit your deceased relatives and then see the situation in the Eighteenth Circle of Hell... Oh, and from now on, you'll need to be more careful with your methods when you're on a mission."

As he spoke, the red-haired commissioner seemed to remember something, and his smile faded slightly. Then, with a serious expression, he instructed,

"With Lyon as the Aquarius Director, the agency has made many changes under his influence. Now, anyone who deliberately exacerbates the situation or causes accidental casualties, even if they complete the mission, will be punished... For example, the last time you flooded half the city with feces, it would have been considered a serious offense."

Even though your actions didn't result in any casualties, the Phantom Jar erased the evidence afterward, and even if it were to happen now, you wouldn't face particularly severe punishment. Still, a lowered evaluation is inevitable, and some corresponding benefits might be reduced."

"Benefits?"

"These are the special privileges provided to all of us after the agency conquered the Netherworld and established the Underworld Branch based on Lyon's suggestion. It also includes several additional safety nets for when we're on missions."

The red-haired commissioner flipped to the second page of the file with his clean, white fingers and then pointed to it, explaining concisely,

"All cleaning agents must submit a portion of their flesh and blood materials and a small amount of soul samples upon employment. Scholars from the former Krolok Kingdom will then use scientific methods to replicate an empty shell of a body and freeze it in several specific secure locations, updating it every three years.

When you die on a mission, as long as your soul can escape, you can go to the Ghost Gate in the Netherworld, register, and then enter the resurrection process. Once suitable materials are obtained, we'll shoot you back from the Netherworld and revive you with the prepared body."

"?!?!"

"Remember, don't tell anyone about this for now. It's still in the trial stage, and we don't know how long it will take to fully implement it, depending on whether any issues arise during operation."

Seeing Amien's shocked expression, the red-haired commissioner, in a good mood, smiled and then spoke earnestly,

"The reason I'm telling you this in advance is to let you know that when you're on a mission, you must try your best to protect your soul. If you can't escape, then abandon your body and go directly to the Netherworld to report. That way, you might still have a chance to come back.

However, as per the agency's intention, as a price for providing this safety net, all cleaning agents must also restrain their behavior and minimize casualties... Remember, it's not just about death but also casualties. Even turning an entire city into a fecal soup counts as large-scale harm!"

"Oh... I'll remember that..."

Amien nodded slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes, and then glanced at the file on the table. On the hand-drawn photo of the "Underworld Branch Inauguration Ceremony," he saw Lyon, Taurus, and Cancer, the three directors, in the same frame.

"Lyon is truly remarkable. It hasn't been long since he left, and he's already become a director."

Looking at the hand-drawn "photo" of Lyon, making a scissors gesture and smiling brightly at the camera, and Emma beside him, gazing at him with soft eyes as if her eyes could speak, Amien couldn't help but exclaim,

"It doesn't seem like much time has passed since I went to the Dream Realm for the assessment. Now, when I see him again, I have to address him as Director Lyon, and Emma has become the Deputy Director of the Underworld Branch... Um... Commissioner, look here!"

Amien squinted at the photo and then pointed to the top of Lyon's head, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he asked,

"Is this part drawn incorrectly? Why does it look like Lyon's hair has a small patch of white?"
