I! Cleaner!

"Don't get me wrong, that sheep is not weak."

After the initial weariness of the alcohol subsided, the red-haired director regained some of his usual "wise and brave" appearance. Even with his eyes closed and curled up in Leon's arms, he still guessed his thoughts and explained softly:

"At its peak, it was indeed the strongest demon under the true god, but it was too greedy. It was unwilling to focus on one or two concepts like other demons, but chose seven of the highest original sins in one go, hoping to become the top demon god.

Although its talent was outstanding enough, it actually touched seven at the same time. Although it has the concept of the original sin level, its status is still a little bit worse. It has not mastered the seven original sins at the same time, so the strength of its single ability is extremely thin.

Most of the abilities of abnormal objects of the same level are specialized in one or one main and one auxiliary, but its seven concepts are almost the same. It is normal that its upper limit cannot compare with others, or it can be said that it is gifted to be able to barely squeeze into the top 100 with such scattered abilities. "

So that's what happened...

After recalling the situation of the black goat, Leon's eyes could not help but flash a touch of realization, but soon shook his head.

"That's still the top 100. The higher the ranking, the more difficult it must be. Director, you have one number 004 and one number 013. Even if I collect all the sheep offal... um... collect all the parts of the black goat, it is far from comparable. "

After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired director couldn't help but open his eyes and glanced back at him.

Yes, anomalies that can only squeeze into the top 100 numbers are indeed not as good as No. 004 [Twelve Ant Nests] and No. 013 [Blood-Slaying Hair], but if it were someone else, would they think of competing with me first?

"Not necessarily not as good."

Without exposing Leon's inadvertently exposed "ambition", the red-haired director shrank into the warm embrace behind him, closed his eyes again, and narrated in a calm voice:

"The number of anomalies will change. The anomaly numbered 013 was actually 116. After it fell into my hands, it became No. 013 after some things happened."

116 to 013? Such a big improvement!

After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously:

"You actually surpassed more than a hundred people... Chief, what did you do?"

What did I do...

The red-haired chief shook his head when he heard it, and did not answer Leon's words. Instead, he slightly turned his body, put his palm into Leon's collar, untied the hair tied around his neck, and then picked up one end of the red hair and gently tapped Leon's fingertips.

[Name: Blood-Slaughtering Hair-941026 (Killing, Scarlet)]

[Appearance: A bright red hair. If you rub it carefully with your soul, you will sense a faint smell of blood, as well as the insults and curses of an old man full of resentment]

[Ability: Killing Proliferation, Scarlet Knot]

[Price: When you are conscious, you will be cursed endlessly by the people who were killed]

[File: After the Lord of Scarlet failed to descend, the previous generation of Taurus directors collected its remains and made this growth-type anomaly. Every time the holder kills a human, a new blood-colored long hair that can be controlled will be added.

Due to the harsh growth conditions, even after two generations of holders, a total of 130 years of cultivation, the number of Blood-Slaughtering Hair has just exceeded 10,000. The effect shown is not proportional to the precious materials consumed. This anomaly was once considered a complete failure.

But in the Snake Man Eclipse incident, after killing the third holder of the blood-hair, Olivia, and being forced to use the abnormal object "Thirteen Ant Nests" to completely destroy the Snake Man Branch of the Cleanup Bureau and the Kingdom of East Karawen, the number of blood-hairs suddenly increased to 129.6 million overnight, which is basically the same as the total population of the Kingdom of East Karawen before its demise.]

[Evaluation: This is the most dangerous and terrifying abnormal object you have seen so far. If the holder is willing, it only takes five seconds to kill all living things in the entire capital.]

[Infection value: Undetermined, increases with the number of blood-hairs activated at the same time]

? ! ! !

129.6 million... people? ! ! !

...

"It seems you already know the answer."

Feeling Leon's body suddenly stiffen and his arm unconsciously loosened, the red-haired director sighed faintly, then gently pushed Leon's arm away, left the long-lost warm embrace behind him, sat up from the sofa, and said calmly:

"Do you want to leave the Virgin Bureau?"

Staring at Leon's eyes that were shocked beyond words, the red-haired director, with a little bit of alcohol on his cheeks, whispered:

"If you want to work in another place, Beverly, the director of the Lion Branch, is more like me. I am familiar with you and I am very interested in your ability. I can recommend you there. The treatment is guaranteed to be the same as here.

She has no outrageous past except that she likes to eat snacks too much. She is an absolutely good person. You should be able to live there..."

"Director."

After interrupting the red-haired director, Leon asked hesitantly:

"Is the Thirteen Ant Nest... the abnormal object numbered 004? What is the relationship between the Eastern Karawen Kingdom and the Northern Karawen Kingdom? What about the Snake Husband Eclipse Kingdom?"

"These are..."

After staring at Leon, the red-haired director's lips moved, and then he turned his head slightly and explained in turn:

"Thirteen Ant Nests... After the East Kaleven Kingdom disappeared, it should now be called the [Twelve Ant Nests], which corresponds to the twelve remaining kingdoms. You should be able to guess its abilities even if I don't tell you.

As for the East Kaleven Kingdom...the current Kaleven Kingdom was formerly called the West Kaleven Kingdom. The place separated by a river from it is the ruins of the original East Kaleven Kingdom.

The Ophiuchi Kingdom refers to a rebellion launched by the Ophiuchi branch of the East Kaleven Kingdom. The director of the Ophiuchi branch tried to sacrifice the entire East Kaleven Kingdom to ascend to the gods and turn half of the world into a His Kingdom of God.

Unable to accept this result, the twelve directors conducted nine rounds of voting, and finally four abstained and eight passed, deciding to use the [Thirteen Ant Nests] to destroy the East Kaleven Kingdom first and forcibly defeat his plan. I am A hands-on executor.

Since then, the Thirteen Ant Nest has become the Twelve Ant Nest. Since I have been under my care, the number of branches of the Cleanup Bureau has also increased from the original 88 to the current 87, and the internal investigation and control have also changed. It has become more stringent, and any behavior that crosses the line will be severely punished..."

I see……

After listening to the red-haired director's words, Leon finally figured out the general context, and then said with complicated eyes:

"So those people upstairs who scolded you...were the ones..."

"It's just what you think..."

After giving a vague response, the red-haired director avoided his gaze, and then said with a somewhat gloomy look:

"The original people in the Maiden Bureau all left after that. You can't blame them. After all, there are more than 100 million people above your head... Well... Leon, because you can't accept this kind of thing, it's the same if you want to leave. , I can understand how you feel."

"..."

After getting up and sitting on the large sofa, sitting opposite the red-haired director in silence for a while, Leon did not say whether he wanted to leave, but asked softly:

"Director, can I ask you a question?"

After hearing Leon's words, a flash of surprise flashed across the red-haired director's eyes, but he still nodded:

"You ask."

"Suppose there is such a train that is about to pass through the branch..."

After briefly recalling it, Leon said:

"Twelve people are tied to the track in front of the train, and one person is tied to the other track. And you are holding the joystick in your hand to change the track. Will you pull the joystick and let the train go to the other track? Orbital, rescue the twelve people in front?"

"I……"

After subconsciously clenching his fists, the red-haired director did not answer the question immediately, but bit his lip and asked:

"Are you talking about me? But the two situations are different..."

"So are you going to pull the lever and let it hit the people who wouldn't have died, or are you going to let the train hit those twelve people?"

Leon asked insistently.

"I...I don't know."

"Of course you don't know."

Leon nodded and said warmly:

"Because you are not that person at all. The directors who voted are that person. You are just the joystick that is being held."

"..."

"Thank you for your comfort……"

Seeing that Leon seemed to be ready to relieve himself, the red-haired director forced a smile, and then said with dark eyes:

"But these two things are really different. I am not just a puppet who obeys orders. I have the ability to refuse to pull the 'joystick'. But in the end, I did not refuse. Instead, I personally..."

"If you refuse, then you are just a passer-by carrying a leather shovel, and another person will hold a new joystick, stand in your original position again, and send the train to the train with only one person tied to it. road.”

"..."

"Director, when people are busy, don't take yourself too seriously."

"..."

After waiting for a while, looking at the red-haired director who still pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, Leon shook his head and said:

"I won't say that your choice is right, or that they will die sooner or later if they are sacrificed. It is better to die in your hands to save other people. What you do is what you should do."

After all, if I were from the Kingdom of East Kaleven, I would still scold you upstairs, and scold you harder than anyone else. By the way, I would also scold you with the entire cleanup bureau. I hope you will be hit by a carriage when you go out tomorrow. Die, and then be crushed back and forth seven or eight times.

But now, since I am one of the twelve people who were tied to the original track, and my life was actually saved by your choice, then I have no right to scold you, including those seniors who left the bureau. I can choose to leave you, but I have no right to blame you. "

"You really...have advised me, but no one has said this like you..."

After shaking his head with a strange expression, looking at Lyon in front of him, who although very weak, seemed to be stronger than himself in his heart, the red-haired director couldn't help but look at him and asked:

"What if it were you? What would you do? Let the train keep going and hit the twelve people tied to the tracks?"

"I'll try to find the kidnapper first, and then press his head into the train's boiler."

"You really...how can you be so shameless?"

"I'm not kidding, that's what I really think."

Leon shook his head, faced the red-haired director's slightly angry gaze, and said seriously:

"Director, I am a person with little sense of security. To be honest, ever since I knew the truth about this world, I have begun to desire power, very, very much!

And the main reason why I pursue power is to be able to kill the kidnapper directly when such a problem arises, without having to do such a multiple-choice question that never has a correct answer."

"Then...if you have done everything you can, but still encounter such a problem."

"In that case..."

After hearing this, Leon hesitated for a moment, then took out something from his arms and showed it to the red-haired director.

"Seeing which side my family is tied to, I will turn the train to the other side, and then honestly endure the scolding of more than 100 million people, and then drink every day like you, so as not to be scolded and feel uncomfortable when I am sober."

"..."

Looking at the small wine bottle in Lyon's hand, the red-haired director couldn't help but shook his head speechlessly, and said with some laughter:

"Isn't that the same as me? You are really..."

"It's the same."

After unscrewing the bottle cap and taking a sip, Lyon smiled helplessly and said:

"Since you have tried your best, but still can't solve the problem, what can you do? Although escaping is shameful, it is useful, isn't it?"

"Yes! It is really useful!"

Looking at the sparkling small wine bottle in Lyon's hand, the red-haired director couldn't help but bend his eyes, and laughed with him, still with a hint of wine-red smile, like a rhododendron blooming in the garden.

The curses in my ears were still crazy and shrill, and the pressure in my heart was still as heavy as a dark cloud. The deep guilt that had been tormenting me was still as sharp and cold as usual, and it was like a sharp weapon penetrating into my flesh and blood, and it didn't ease at all.

But I don't know why, I was suddenly not so scared. If I had to find a reason, it was probably because someone not only respected my choice, but also recognized my weakness and escape.

Well... At this time, I should drink something!

Reaching out to grab the small bottle in Leon's hand, tilting his slender neck and drinking it all, the red-haired director licked the slightly spicy wine on his lips, threw away the empty bottle in his hand, and said with a heroic spirit:

"It just happened that I borrowed money from Emma during the day! Let's go! I'll treat you to a drink! Drink the most expensive!"

...

The people in the Virgin Branch are really... too outrageous!

After knocking on the door for a long time without receiving a response, the two investigators could not help but shake their heads after seeing the pile of empty bottles on the floor and a man and a woman sleeping soundly on the table wrapped in a blanket through the window of the director's office. Then they took out the questionnaire at the same time, wrote a few lines on it, and then made two big red crosses.

The director took the lead in drinking! Indulged all night! Suspected of having a promiscuous relationship with a man and a woman in the bureau! Without mentioning Ryan's bloody night, the atmosphere and business rating must be severely downgraded!
