"Since you all say so, I can't refuse."

Mule nodded, agreeing to the request.

He was about to continue expanding on the topic, discussing the specific details of the project, when he saw the council members exchange glances.

Tyrannosaurus t-Bone coughed and said slowly, "Attorney Kevin, we originally hoped to invite you to provide legal advice and suggestions to help us compile the legal code.

Your proposed new plan is indeed better, but to compile a legal code to provide legal support for the project—this also requires you to work in the Underworld for a long time.

Considering that you still have unfinished wishes in the mortal world,

Perhaps we can make an exception and allow you to retain your memories and return to the mortal world as a living person to fulfill your wishes, and then return to the Underworld to take office.

I wonder if you are willing."

Mule was stunned by the words, and the other players were also somewhat surprised.

"According to the traditional three-act story structure, after answering 'willing,' the task should come to an end..."

Black Trojan frowned, muttering to himself, "Could it be that we're not playing by the rules, causing the task to bug out?"

"It's not necessarily a bug."

The Witch shook her head slightly, her arm extending from under her wide cloak, straightening the pointed witch hat on her head, and said coldly, "Haven't you noticed a key issue?

How exactly did Attorney Kevin Romes come to the Underworld?

Remember the scene at the beginning of the task?

A dense forest,

A mountain ridge,

A lion, a leopard, and a wolf—three wild beasts,

And the suddenly appearing Underworld envoy,

All hinting to us that this is a scene from *The Divine Comedy*,

Hinting that we, like Dante wandering through the Underworld, are guests invited to the Underworld.

However, there is another possibility..."

"That is, Kevin Romes died an unnatural death."

Li Ang calmly continued, "From the moment I met the Underworld envoy, I wanted to ask him a question—did Kevin Romes actually die or not?"

"Then why didn't you ask..."

Before Black Trojan could finish speaking, he understood the answer and said to himself, "Kevin Romes himself must know whether he died or not.

If we ask the question 'Am I dead?',

It would seem very strange, and the Underworld envoy might even suspect that this is an impostor..."

Forest Cat nodded, "It's equivalent to an instant-death flag. No wonder we couldn't ask."

"But it doesn't matter now,"

Li Ang spread his hands and said, "From Tyrannosaurus's words, we can conclude that Kevin Romes is indeed dead, and he had some strong unfinished wish before his death.

Hmm, what kind of thing would make a professional lawyer with morals and conscience feel unwilling..."

"Let's talk about this question later,"

The Witch narrowed her eyes, her gaze shifting to Mule, "Mr. Smith, you... should have received the system notification that the task is complete, right?

If the system's original condition for clearing the level was to have the player convince the Dinosaur Humans of guilt or innocence,

Then the Shadow Man's move to convince the dinosaurs to implement the new plan undoubtedly completed the task beyond expectations.

Perhaps, it even opened up a hidden plot,

That is, the Dinosaur Overlord is very satisfied with Kevin's answer and is willing to reward him with the opportunity to return to the mortal world.

This is why the task has not ended—our employer can choose to directly receive the reward and teleport away, or choose to continue to stay in the script to complete the hidden plot."

"Hidden mission..." Forest Cat was stunned for a moment, "There really is such a thing? I thought it was just a rumor on the forum."

"There is no such setting in ordinary, conventional tasks,"

The Witch said indifferently, "It's only in special types of tasks, by deeply exploring the worldview and drastically distorting the plot, that it is possible to appear."

"..."

Mule, as if he hadn't heard the strategy team's discussion, took a deep breath, looked up at the dinosaur councilors, and nodded, "Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity,

I am willing."

"That's great."

Tyrannosaurus t-Bone nodded and snapped his fingers. "If you need anything in the mortal world, just call us.

We will give you assistance in Paradise Mountain..."

The players didn't hear the rest of what was said,

As the sound of Tyrannosaurus's fingers echoed, the hall floor beneath Mule's feet lit up with a dazzling golden light.

The next second, they collectively appeared in a... toilet?

This was a modern toilet, spacious and bright, with green tiles on the floor, and a strong smell of disinfectant in the air. Sunlight shone in through the cross-shaped window.

At this moment, Kevin Romes's upper body was lying on the sink,

His left hand clutching a document, his right hand gripping the edge of the sink, his entire face pressed tightly against the cold tiles of the sink,

The tie around his neck drooped into the sink and was already soaked with water.

Mule, controlling Kevin Romes's body, slowly stood up, the mirror reflecting his confused expression.

"...This is Kevin Romes's death scene?"

The Witch didn't care at all that this might be a men's toilet. She circled Mule once and said calmly, "There are no external injuries on the surface of the body.

It may not be a death by murder.

It is also possible that the dinosaurs healed your body while they were resurrecting you."

Black Trojan approached Mule, his mechanical eyes rotating and focusing, looking at the document in Mule's hand, his brows furrowing slightly, "This document is..."

Unexpectedly, Mule seemed to be electrocuted, and suddenly turned the document over, covering it on the wet sink,

As if he didn't want the strategy team he had hired at great expense to see the contents of the document.

Li Ang raised an eyebrow. Before Mule covered the document, he vaguely glimpsed some of the content on it:

The ruler of the Land of Tears, Moloch, art sculptures, a pizza club, a missing person case...

'This document should be the reason for Kevin Romes's death?'

Li Ang vaguely had some kind of guess in his mind. Before he could voice his suspicions,

Mule heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, stretched out his trembling hands, took some water from under the faucet, splashed it on his face,

And said softly to the mirror, "I want to solve it myself. Yes, I want to solve this matter myself..."

To outsiders, this was Kevin Romes talking to himself,

But, the players understood what Mule was saying.

"Mr. Smith, do you want us to leave?"

The Witch frowned and said, "The Underworld is monitoring you, so you're pretending to talk to yourself and asking us to leave?"

"That's right,"

Mule nodded to himself, muttering, "Believe in yourself, Kevin, you can solve this matter independently, without anyone's help."

"Employer... do you understand what you're saying?"

Black Trojan took a deep breath. "We helped you get here, and then you want to complete the rest of the task by yourself?"
