I! Cleaner!

This is... Anna's lost photo?

After recognizing what it was through the gap in the hair, Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Director, why is this thing here?"

"Then you have to ask your good senior."

The red-haired director smiled and said:

"You don't really think that Jerry, that guy, can resist his kleptomania and not touch you after seeing you, do you?"

"But...this thing should be at my house, not on me."

"That's the effect of an abnormal object called [Luck Stealing Master]. When Jerry wants to steal your things, not only at home, but even in another world, the result will be the same.

As long as he comes close to you and raises your hand to touch it, the thing that has had the greatest impact on your life so far will be directly obtained by him. Even the true gods cannot completely exempt this ability. "

After briefly talking about Jerry's abilities, the red-haired director smiled and asked:

"Although he did something not very good to you, I also asked him to make up for you twice. Are you satisfied with his apology?"

"..."

I see... No wonder Senior Jerry was so generous. He insisted on buying one and getting one free. Not only did he give me two abnormal objects, he even taught me a lot of tips on how to use abnormal objects, and he also gave me an extra expensive one. bomb……

"I'm very satisfied. Senior Jerry helped me a lot."

Leon, who figured out the reason, shook his head speechlessly, then thought about the evaluation of the two investigators just now about the members of the Virgin Branch, and couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, Director, our bureau's reputation...isn't very good?"

"It's really not that good, or it can be said to be very bad."

After hearing Leon's inquiry, the red-haired director nodded, frankly admitted the bad reputation of the virgin branch, and then sighed:

"But there's nothing we can do about it. The people in our bureau are all born carriers of abnormal objects, and behind these abnormal objects, there is also a curse that everyone cannot get rid of.

Jerry, who has thief hands, can't help stealing, Emma, ​​who has an immortal body, is particularly afraid of death, Tom, who holds dice, has a hard-to-kick gambling habit, and Harry, who can stick to everything, can't keep anything... These are all In this category, while everyone gains power, they also have to pay a corresponding price.

Although there are people in similar situations in other branches, they are either not strong enough and the degree is not so extreme, or there are only one or two in number, not as many as us, so they have not caused any big trouble.

As for our side... although none of them are bad people, they are all bad habits that are hard to change. There have been many problems in the past, and with me, the notorious executioner chief, naturally, our reputation cannot be much better. . "

That's it...

After hearing the red-haired director's words, Leon couldn't help but nodded with a clear face. After the red-haired director glanced at him, he couldn't help but ponder his situation.

According to young Leon... forced intelligence acquisition is an ability to understand the world. According to this idea, is his "bad habit"... excessive thirst for knowledge?

No, that's not right!

After recalling Leon's daily behavior, I felt that although he cherished knowledge, it was far from a "bad habit". The red-haired director couldn't help but shook his head slightly, denying his guess.

It seems that Leon's "bad habits" are not the "positive reinforcement" of abnormal objects like Jerry, but mostly the "reverse conflict" type like Emma and Harry...

"Director?"

The red-haired director's thoughtful gaze made his scalp feel slightly tense. Leon quickly picked up the photos on the table and said goodbye:

"I have no other questions to ask, so I'm leaving!"

"Well, let's go, let's go!"

After Leon opened the door and left, the red-haired director crossed his fingers and leaned back lazily on the chair, continuing to think about the problem just now.

The most common "bad habits" that a cleaner develops after being infected are two situations.

Either it is a positive reinforcement of the abnormality, such as the ability to steal [Luck Stealer] and Jerry's kleptomania; or it is a reverse conflict that goes against the ability, such as the ability to become immortal physically [Immortal Body] and Emma's extreme resistance to death. cautious character.

Leon's abnormal ability is a kind of cognitive world. Since he does not show excessive thirst for knowledge, then it is not the first situation, but the second situation. The performance of his own personality and abnormal ability are just right. on the contrary.

So if the world is understood in reverse... Leon has a complete understanding of the laws of the world, and it is extremely solid and cannot be changed easily?

…

Unaware that 70% of his "underwear" had been removed by the director, and it was about to be pulled down to his knees, Leon returned to his office and did not start working immediately. Instead, he checked the family photos of his sister Anna and his parents. .

[Name: Warm Home (Under restoration, unavailable) (Prayer, Doll, Modification)]

[Appearance: A brand new family portrait. There is nothing unusual from the front. However, if you look at it from the back, you can find a large number of cracks that have not yet been healed, as well as dark brown burn marks. It seems that it has been torn repeatedly and burned with flames. Pass】

[Ability: Obtain family members, control family members, modify the world]

[Price: Updating, visible after repair is completed]

[File: One of the large number of functional anomalies created by Director Aquarius of the Cleanup Bureau in order to fulfill his wish, tentatively numbered 0006.

This anomaly with a very special ability was born from a child's deepest desire for his family. However, what it can bring is not a family that truly loves the user, but a puppet that obeys his every word.

Upon discovering this, its creator outright denied the anomaly's significance and completely tore it apart, releasing control of the "family" but causing irreparable damage.

But after several years of accompanying each other, its creator and the family members brought by this anomaly gradually became family members in the true sense. The significance of this anomaly was once again recognized, and the beginning of Slow self-repair.

Please note that after this repair is completely completed, its abilities will have completely unknown new changes based on the creator's situation]

[Evaluation: Even if it is a bad flower born from deception and malice, as long as you insist on watering it carefully with kindness and love, it may not be unable to bear warm and beautiful fruits]

[Dilution value:? 】

So...the original me is indeed not Anna's biological brother, but a false family member who was "kidnapped" by this abnormal object?

Although he had made similar speculations for a long time, after reading this family photo file, Leon still couldn't help but close his eyes and leaned back on the chair with a complicated mood. However, this complicated mood did not last long. , was rudely broken by a strong sense of crisis.

It’s an Aquarius director again!

Looking at the information about Director Aquarius that appeared again in the family portrait file, Leon's brows couldn't help but frown.

Unexpectedly, Anna's family portrait was actually one of the anomalies he created to fulfill his wish... So what is Director Aquarius's wish? In the process of deliberately realizing his wish, will he cause harm to Anna?
