Chapter 77 Watch Palace

The infection value is actually 48 points?
After reading the information given by [Materialism], Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, and cast an inquiring look at the red-haired director.

Didn't they say before that even if you choose the first option, you can only get 45 points of immersion, and the third option can only get 42 at most? Why is it so much higher now?

"..."

Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and thank me!

After receiving Leon's gaze, the red-haired director couldn't help but glare at him again, then put his hands behind his back and secretly hooked his fingers towards Leon's neck.

"what?"

After his neck was pulled down slightly by his hair, Leon immediately understood the red-haired chief’s reminder, and quickly bowed along with the force, and thanked him sincerely:

"Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Director. I will definitely live up to the Director's expectations, and I will also live up to this anomaly that you created with your own hands!"

"Why is it so formal again... Hey..."

Having easily seen through the red-haired director's trick, the silver-haired old lady couldn't help but glare at her, then smiled helplessly:
"Really... If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have applied for my identity to be kept confidential. Now it's so troublesome to go everywhere, and I have to bow and say hello..."

"Bowing and greeting are all voluntary and are a sign of our heartfelt respect for you."

After hearing what the silver-haired old lady said, the red-haired director, who was usually not very serious, actually straightened up and said seriously:

"Mr. Taurus, no matter your past achievements or the choices you will make in the future, you deserve this respect."

"Maybe... but this is really troublesome..."

After responding in a listless manner, the silver-haired old lady stood up from the sofa and said goodbye:

"That's it, Olivia. I'm just here to deliver something today and check on your sixth game. Since everything is normal, I won't bother you anymore."

"You're welcome."

The red-haired director nodded respectfully, then secretly pulled Leon and took him back. The Taurus director, who looked no different from an ordinary old woman, walked towards the second-floor window with a hunched back, and then disappeared without any warning as if she had stepped into another world.

"..."

No wonder I didn’t see any footprints, it turns out you guys don’t take the stairs…

A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. After seeing the director who seemed to be of a very high status leave, Leon, who had been holding back a lot of questions, finally couldn't help but ask:

"That person just now..."

"That person is one of the twelve directors, the golden bull director of this generation, and also the best master in the bureau at making anomalies."

After briefly explaining the old lady's identity, the red-haired director said with some emotion:
"Originally I thought it would be great to have a master craftsman in charge of forging, but I didn't expect that Lord Jinniu was free and not only took over the forging work of this thing, but also personally delivered it to me after forging. You are really lucky."

So... is it because of this master's forging that the infiltration value is so much higher than expected?

After nodding with a look of understanding, Leon stole a glance at her expression and then asked:
"Director, are those twelve directors very powerful? How do they compare to you?"

"you misunderstood."

After taking a glance at Liang, the red-haired director shook his head and said:
"The reason why I asked you to respect her is not because of how powerful she is, or how high her status is, but because of my genuine admiration for her.

In a year at most, Sir Taurus will voluntarily give up his body and become a part of the [Watching Palace]. " "Watching Palace?"

"It is an anomaly created by the Cleanup Bureau, suspended high outside our world. As for its specific function, it is just as its name suggests. It exists as a guardian of all mankind. It is the strongest and final barrier to protect this world."

After briefly explaining the function of the [Watch Palace], the red-haired director said with a complicated look:
“Only those who truly love humanity can be selected by the Palace of Watch. After accepting the call, their bodies and most of their emotions will be stripped away, leaving only the purest will to watch over humanity, and they will be led into the Palace of Watch.

And Her Excellency Taurus has already accepted the call, and within a year she will go to the Watch Palace outside the world to monitor the great disasters that will endanger the human world, and sit and watch in the dead silence of the void until even her last remaining will is completely wiped out by the ruthless time. "

Is this Overwatch? Are you sure it's not a mutant version of Life Sentence?
After listening to the red-haired chief's explanation, Leon just followed her words and imagined it, and then he felt a tightness in his chest.

Leaving behind the colorful world and the supportive family, sitting alone in the dead silence for an indefinite period of time, until even the will is completely swallowed up by loneliness, this is an extremely cruel torture for any intelligent creature.

"Does it have to be so painful?"

After thinking about the gentle and kind face of the silver-haired old lady, Leon couldn't bear what she was about to encounter, so he couldn't help but ask:

"This anomaly was created by the bureau, right? Then can we modify it a little bit and send people to take turns to guard the Palace? At least we can change the shifts."

"No."

The red-haired director sighed and said:

“Only extremes will be remembered, only paranoia will dare to move forward, and only madness can understand greatness… This is a widely circulated saying in the bureau.

My understanding of it is that, whether it is positive love or admiration, or negative hatred or unwillingness, only these most extreme and pure things can truly have an impact on the world and give birth to corresponding 'abnormal' existence. "

At this point, the red-haired director paused, then looked up at the sky outside the window, and said in a deep voice:

"The existence of the [Watching Palace] follows this rule. There is no compulsion in its selection. There is even a full ten years of preparation before entering the palace. During this period, you can regret at any time, and no one will remember that you have been selected.

Most people in the bureau believe that these ten years are just a cooling-off period for the chosen ones, but I feel that whether it is the extremely painful eternal watch that follows, or the weighing and consideration during these ten years, they are actually the process of [Watch Palace] gaining power, a kind of selection and purification of the watch will.

Only when one knows that there is a desperate future ahead and can give up safely at any time, but still goes forward with pure will, can one give birth to the infinite power that spans the past and the future and is enough to protect all of humanity. "

So that's what happened...

After finally figuring out why the usually unscrupulous director behaved so "obedient" today, Leon took a deep breath unconsciously, with deep respect in his eyes.

Even if we don't mention the fact that she helped me create the anomaly, as one of the humans blessed by the [Watch Palace], the silver-haired old lady deserves my respect.

Hmm...Watch Palace... I never thought that the Cleanup Bureau had such a great thing in its possession...

"Zi..."

[By listening carefully to the relevant stories, you have obtained a lot of information about the "Watch Palace", and the special-colored badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" has been activated.

Since you learned about the existence of the "Watch Palace", understood the source of its power, and knew some of its operating rules, your resistance to this anomaly has increased significantly, and you can now block the general impact.]

"..."
