Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 516 The gatekeeper is not necessarily a dog

The sky is so gloomy, the earth is so black, the river is rolling with roaring waves, the road of no return paved with white bones, the endless row of dead people as far as the eye can see, the red-eyed crows hovering above the dead people...

Is this what the afterlife looks like?

After looking at the landscape of the death world through the suddenly opened Door of the Dead, the souls of the three cleaners, two men and one woman, suddenly fell silent in unison.

Although I have known for a long time that as a cleaner, I am unlikely to live to the day of normal death. I will probably report here in advance during an extremely dangerous mission, and I have already been mentally prepared.

But when all this really happened, the three of them still found it difficult to accept it. They couldn't believe that their lives had come to an end so suddenly.

"I...I'm so unwilling!"

After leaving the [Flower Fairy] state and returning to normal human size, Ruben couldn't help but whimper lowly. A middle-aged man in his forties suddenly shed two lines of hot tears on his face, and said with annoyance in his eyes:

"Everything was going so well, why did he die suddenly? We were all with the director, why were we still killed by artillery?"

"Don't think about it, it's all over."

Feeling the increasingly stronger force pulling him into the realm of death, Frankie, who was standing... floating next to Ruben, couldn't help but sigh bitterly.

"Although we don't know what happened, we must have been tricked into something. Even the director didn't escape. Half of his body was smashed. Maybe he will come with us soon.

Hey, let’s go first, the three of us. Don’t think about it anymore. Those are the things of the living. We are dead now. No matter how much we think about it, we can’t go back. Now it’s time to hit the road. "

"I...I..."

"I still want to try!"

Just as Ruben and the two walked towards the Gate of the Dead, ready to accept their own ending, the only female cleaner among the three suddenly raised her head, reached out and grabbed the corners of their clothes, and said stubbornly:

"My [Smooth Road Ahead] is an abnormality at the soul level. I brought it down directly, and I can still use it!

Reuben! Frankie! Come and help me! If the three of us can use the effect of [Smooth Road Ahead] to carve a way back here, then maybe we still have a chance! "

this…

After listening to the request of the female cleaner Mona, Ruben and Frankie looked at each other, and then said hesitantly:

"But this is the world of death. Even if the director dies, he can only briefly contend with the rules of the world of death. In the end, he will have to move forward along the path of no return. Just with our three second-level cleaners..."

"help me!"

After interrupting Ruben, the female cleaner Mona took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and said:

"The director hasn't come to the world of death yet, which proves that he is still alive!

Let's... Even if we can't go back, even if we can only open a small opening and send my [Smooth Road Ahead] back, maybe we can help the director escape!

Please! help me! No matter what the result is, I still want to try again! If it weren't for the director, I would have been here twenty years ago, and I won't be willing to give it a try! "

"Oh well…"

After looking at each other, Ruben and Frankie nodded. Relying on the soul strength of the second-level cleaner, they tried to resist the call from the depths of the dead world while standing behind the female cleaner Mona.

"Thank you!" After glancing at the two of them gratefully, the female cleaner Mona's whole soul suddenly lit up with a blazing white flame. Then she gritted her teeth and turned around, facing the infinity behind her. The gray mist took a step.

"clatter!"

The sound of shoe soles hitting the bone ground was heard. The moment the female cleaner Mona took a successful step, the endless gray mist outside the Gate of the Dead actually opened a path to come out.

Although this path seems so insignificant compared to the endless gray world, the irreversible death represented by the gray fog does make an extremely small "concession".

This...maybe there really is a chance? !

After noticing this scene, the other two cleaners who were still a little hesitant were suddenly shocked. Then they gritted their teeth and their dark souls also lit up. Under the urging of their will, they were like white flames. Keep dancing.

Compared with the boundless gray fog, the three souls that were burning at full strength were as weak as fireflies falling into the sea, but they really relied on the footsteps to forcefully squeeze out a path leading to where they came from. Sheep intestines.

OK! Maybe it really works!

After faintly feeling the breath of the world of the living through the breeze blowing from the front of the sheep intestine path, the three cleaners couldn't help but feel refreshed.

60 Lyon points is the threshold between gods and humans, and it is also the dividing line between whether one can escape from the constraints of the rules of death. The three of them are senior level two cleaners, and the average Lyon value is close to 30 points. In terms of strength alone, it is enough.

Although it is a little short of a qualitative change in the end, unable to cross the threshold of true god, and unable to truly transcend death, relying on Mona's [Smooth Road Ahead], it may not be impossible to open a path toward death!

And just like Mona said, even if you have to come back in the end, even if you just send [Smooth Road Ahead] back, help the director save his life, or even just take one last look at that world, it is still worth the effort!

"Quick! Try harder!"

Feeling the aura that belonged to the world of the living rushing in front of her, the female cleaner Mona couldn't help but grit her teeth, stepped forward with all her strength, and shouted hoarsely:

"Just one step away! Just one step away!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Oh...I can't just leave this alone!"

"?!"

In the astonished expressions of the three cleaners, dozens of octopus arms and legs suddenly protruded from behind, like pythons moving with their heads raised, and tightly wrapped around the hands, feet, waist and arms of the three people.

Countless fleshy suction cups on the arms and legs, the size of baby mouths, began to **** their power crazily as the souls came into contact. In just a few breaths, they sucked out the power that exploded from the three people's souls. And empty.

As the three people lost their strength, they were dragged back by the octopus's arms and legs. After their feet left the ground, the intestine path that was finally opened up quickly closed under the endless gray fog and disappeared completely.

“…”

step! There’s only one step left!

"Don't blame me, this is my duty too."

Facing the angry gazes of the three cleaners, a long-tailed giant horse with octopus arms and legs where its neck should have been, blinked helplessly, then opened its lips and chattered:

"I didn't care about this kind of thing originally, but the problem is that there was a ruthless person in your clean-up bureau. I don't know what was wrong, but he ate the Inugami who was guarding here alive.

In order to ensure order in the realm of the dead and prevent people from entering and exiting at will, we, the messengers of death, had to take turns coming to the Gate of the Dead to keep an eye on it, and today it was my turn to be on duty.

Oh, by the way, let me ask one more question, there is no one from the virginity bureau among you three, right? "
