I! Cleaner!

Now replace you with me...

After hearing Emma's question, Leon couldn't help but sigh deeply.

If you were replaced by me, then there would definitely be one person between him and me who would not be alive now. There is no room for change in this level of deep hatred.

In addition, I finally understand why even the director, who is so powerful, can't do anything about your matter.

"Senior Emma."

Looking at the semi-abandoned garden, the mother bird encountered returning to the nest when picking out bird eggs, and the three children who were driven away in a hurry, Leon asked softly:

"You have never taken revenge in the past. Is it because the bureau has relevant regulations?"

"Um……"

Emma, ​​who was also looking at the three children, pursed her lips slightly and said:

"Unlike you who took the initiative to join the Cleanup Bureau, those of us who joined the Cleanup Bureau through the 'Amnesty Regulations' need to accept special verbal and spiritual constraints and promise not to use the abnormal objects we obtain to retaliate against our former 'enemies' .

If it weren't for the special circumstances of the Maiden Branch and Olivia's guarantee for me, a liquidator like me with a high possibility of revenge would even have to be forcibly transferred from my place of origin and would not be able to return to my original country for the rest of my life.

This is one of the conditions for each kingdom to cooperate with the liquidation bureau, provide full financial and intelligence support, and even agree to provide temporary troop deployment rights. Even if they become a first-level liquidator, they must abide by it. "

"That's it..."

After hearing Emma's answer, Leon's brows suddenly frowned slightly unconsciously.

…

The Cleanup Bureau obviously has powerful power, but the reason why it sets such "grievance" rules is not difficult to guess.

Considering that the birth process of abnormal objects is indeed accompanied by extremes and pain, and the mental state of the cleaners who have been infected all year round is not very stable. When they master powerful enough abilities, they may turn back and take revenge. Sex is almost 100 percent.

Take senior Emma as an example. Without this rule, neither the royal family nor the Marquis of Golden Cuckoo would have allowed her to slowly become stronger in the cleanup bureau. In the end, she would be taken away in a wave. After discovering Ai When Senior Ma sees an abnormality, he immediately kills her.

The immortal body is a very rare special abnormal object. The bodies of most cleaners are only slightly stronger than ordinary people. As long as there is no special protective abnormal object, if they are shot in the vital part, they will still be directly shot. died on the spot.

Without this seemingly outrageous rule, many anomalies and cleanup agents with great potential would have been eliminated before they could grow up, resulting in a sharp reduction in the manpower available to the Cleanup Bureau.

It is even more likely that in the past when the rules were not yet mature, a large number of cases of "cutting out the roots" in advance had already occurred, which resulted in quite serious consequences, which prompted the Cleanup Bureau to set such rules to ensure its normal continuation. .

But on the contrary, this restriction has protected a large number of cleaners, and I am afraid it has also protected a lot of scum.

After recalling the file of [Baohua Crime] and the record of little Ellie's "accidental drowning", Leon's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly, and something seemed to be burning in his heart.

"Senior Emma."

After touching the cufflinks where his sniper rifle was stored, Leon couldn't help but ask:

"The reason why you still practice sniper rifles when there are long-range anomalies is because you want to..."

"Well, it's what you think."

Seeing that her skirt was covered with dirt and her body was stained with grass and leaves, her daughter had transformed from a delicate porcelain doll into a dirty little clay monkey, but she was smiling very happily. Emma stood at the entrance of the garden, He admitted with loving eyes:

"Due to the constraints of the spirit, I couldn't use abnormal objects against that person, so I specially practiced using firearms. I wanted to ask you for help before, and I also hoped that I could use my soul vision to lock the position of that person from a distance, and then completely end this. Everything, but was temporarily persuaded by Olivia.

Sorry, Leon, I shouldn't have brought you into this.

If I really did this, you would probably have to be investigated even if you didn't know anything about it. Olivia was right, I was already blinded by hatred at that time. "

"It doesn't matter, none of that happened after all..."

After shaking his head slightly, Leon looked at the three children in the garden and whispered with a complicated expression:

"Senior Emma, ​​if you complete your revenge, what will be the price?"

"They will probably be stripped of all their abnormal objects and then forcibly sent to the realm of death."

Emma said calmly:

"According to relevant regulations, if this regulation is violated, a cleaner at the sub-director level can perform three clean-up tasks with extremely high mortality rates in a row. If the cleaner is below the sub-director level, he or she will be executed."

Branch chief?

Leon's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he asked:

"Then have you ever thought about..."

"Is it right to wait until you become the branch chief to take revenge to avoid being directly executed?"

Emma looked calm and said:

"I have indeed thought about this path, or in other words, except for the time when I found out that Ellie is not my daughter, but just the reflection of my wishes, I have always planned to do so.

Although Ellie is not really alive, she has the soul of my daughter after all. I really don’t want to lose her again, and I am willing to continue to endure it for her, but..."

Looking back in the direction of the main building of the manor, Emma couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"I don't think I'm as good at endurance as I thought."

...

That's... the emblem of the Golden Azalea family? !

Following Emma's gaze, Lyon was shocked when he saw the emerald golden azalea emblem on the curtain wall of the second floor and the workers who were dismantling the wall with the treasure flower pattern.

Theoretically speaking, the Golden Azalea family and the Treasure Flower family have very close contacts, and marriages have been very frequent in the past two hundred years. Even the Marquis of the Golden Azalea himself obtained the qualification to control the northern trade route by relying on the marriage between the families.

Therefore, at a time when the nobles who were close to the Treasure Flower were either killed or exiled, in terms of blood lineage, he really had the qualification to inherit the Treasure Flower Manor, and his inheritance order was even comparable to that of Senior Emma.

But if the fact is really as Senior Emma said, the Golden Azalea family was the first culprit of the destruction of the Treasure Flower family, how did they have the face to live in it?

Besides... aren't you looking for death?

When he found that Emma's palms were slightly cold and her usually gentle eyes were full of murderous intent, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, and his scalp was numb by the overly awesome operation of the Jinjuan family.

If the Jinjuan family didn't jump in front of him, relying on the existence of little Ellie, Senior Emma might be able to continue to endure until the day she became the director of the branch.

But now the Jinjuan family seems to be ready to play a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, and directly move the whole family into the manor of the Baohua family. This is really... The enemy who destroyed the family not only wandered in front of him, but also lived in his own home openly. He couldn't swallow this breath!

If Senior Emma hadn't been bound by the Word Spirit and couldn't use abnormal objects, the cockroaches in your cabinet would have been punished!

"I can drive them away!"

The Jinjuan family occupied the manor = Senior Emma couldn't help but take revenge = violated the regulations of the Cleanup Bureau = Senior Emma was going to be executed!

The moment this equation was reached in his mind, Leon immediately suggested:

"Senior Emma, ​​please be patient for a while, I will go to find Wang..."

"No need."

Before Leon finished speaking, Emma rejected his proposal and said calmly:

"Leon, for Ellie, I have been patient for six years, but now I really don't want to endure it anymore."

"But you are already a first-level cleaner. As long as there is a vacancy for the director of any branch..."

"The headquarters is now closed. Without the appointment of a director, I can't fill the position even if there is a vacancy, and even if there is a vacancy, it may not be my turn."

After looking at her daughter who was holding Melanie's hand and taking her to see the flowers she planted, Emma said softly:

"Also, in fact, for me, this manor is really worthless. It's worth it. Those beautiful pasts will become painful memories as long as you think about the final result.

The reason why I'm still here is because Ellie can't leave here. She can only exist in this manor full of my memories, otherwise I would have moved out long ago. "

Lyon couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard it, and emphasized a little irritably:

"I said, I can drive them out! You can still live here with Ellie in the future, as long as you wait until the headquarters is unsealed in half a year..."

"Lyon, this is not the key."

After shaking Lyon's unconsciously clenched palm, Emma said softly:

"After I found out that the Jinjuan family wanted to move in, I also thought about driving them away, and then pretending that nothing happened, and continued to wait as before, but after thinking about it for a day, I have figured it out.

The strength is about the same as mine , there are still many first-level cleaners who are older than me. Even if there is a vacancy, it is highly unlikely that I will be the one to fill it. So although it seems that I am only one step away, it may take another 20 to 30 years or even longer to get the chance to take revenge. "

"Leon, I really can't wait any longer."

Looking at the golden azalea emblem on the curtain wall of the main building, Emma's sparkling eyes seemed to have made up her mind. She completely calmed down.

"Do you remember the only crow that would approach me?

It was my sister's. She was older than Ellie is now, but she was born with deficiencies and was very small. She looked almost the same age as Ellie is now. "

Looking back at the three children playing in the half-abandoned garden, and remembering the little girl who had run towards her happily on the stone path in the garden, Emma spoke gently. Authentic:

"My mother is in poor health and has been bedridden since I was a child. My father is a very old-fashioned and difficult to approach person, so she has liked to stick to me since she was a child.

Before that incident happened, I often stayed with her in this garden. The small greenhouse in front of the garden that was just demolished was built by me for her. It was her favorite place.

She was much more lively than Ellie usually is. She is very similar to Ellie today. She also likes birds and flowers. She also likes to draw some colorful but ugly pictures with crayons. Maybe Ellie likes these because I miss her..."

At this point, Emma was silent for a moment, and then she said:

"But she is dead. She was strangled before me. The body fell next to my mother. The execution day is less than two weeks away, which will be her tenth birthday."

"..."

"She was just a nine-year-old child who had done nothing wrong, but her life stopped at that day and there would never be a future.

The person who really made a mistake could live on without any guilt, could move into her home with a swagger, could demolish her house with a dignified manner, and completely erase all traces of her existence.

Even the person who really deserved to die could live like this for another twenty or thirty years, until he was past his prime and old, and even forgot what he had done, and then he would receive the judgment he deserved."

After taking her eyes off the emerald green golden azalea emblem on the curtain wall, Emma turned to look at Leon beside her, her voice calm. And firmly said:

"This is not fair!"

"..."

In Lyon's speechless silence, Emma retracted her gaze and said calmly:

"Perhaps from the beginning I vaguely knew that the current Ellie was not the real Ellie, but because I was greedy for this last warmth, I used patience as an excuse to deceive myself for six years and was cowardly for six years.

And now, I am going to do what I should have done six years ago.

As a daughter, I will kill him for my parents! As a mother, I will kill him for Ellie who was drowned! As the last treasure flower, I will kill him for those tribesmen who could have avoided death!"

"..."

...

How can I persuade her?

Looking at Emma, ​​who was no longer full of resentment and calmed down again, Lyon's heart could not help but feel cold.

If Senior Emma was just stimulated by the operation of the Jinjuan family and was impulsive in a moment of anger, then I could find a way to persuade her to be patient for Ellie for a while.

But looking at the appearance of Senior Emma, ​​after the initial anger, she has calmed down after thinking for a day. Now she really figured it out and determined what she wanted to do. It is impossible to stop this situation.

"What about Ellie?"

Holding the last hope, Leon tried to remind:

"You also said that Ellie will grow up, so why don't you wait a little longer, until she is a little older, at least..."

"Leon, you said that you should respect my ideas."

"..."

"Actually, I know what you said is right. If there is a better choice, I may not need to do this, but I have waited for six years and I really don't want to wait any longer."

After smiling gently at Leon, Emma reached out and stroked his frowning brows, and asked softly:

"Let's stop this topic here, let's forget those annoying things for a while, and help Ellie have a birthday without regrets, okay?"
