I! Cleaner!

"Director!"

After returning to the cleanup bureau with the wallet he didn't know where it came from, Leon immediately knocked on the door of the director's office and said seriously:

"There is indeed a problem with Pink Mystery! Director Aquarius should have arranged some back-up there! And if I guess correctly, the wallet you asked me to inquire about should be the first-level cleaner of the Gemini Branch named Nicole. Take it away!”

ah? What did you say?

After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired director who was fiddling with an empty wallet paused for a moment, and then said with astonishment in his eyes:

"Did you really find out something? No...I mean, are you really sure?"

"pretty close."

After recalling the information about the [Evil List], Leon talked about what he saw and heard, and then concluded solemnly:

“It’s not completely certain yet, but when Senior Jerry comes back, if he can’t find the wallet, then it will be basically certain.

After all, the [Secret Tail] in the hands of the female reporter can just eliminate the smell of items. I think she is very suspicious... By the way, Director, what is in the wallet? "

"..."

In that wallet is the salary I just received...but it doesn't matter now!

After listening to Leon tell what he had witnessed, the red-haired director's fox eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he faintly noticed something was not quite right.

Although I did drink too much, it was really inappropriate to forget my wallet. It might have been affected by some special anomaly. In addition, because I had just boasted in front of Leon during the day, I didn't plan to drink too much at night.

But the Pink Mystery happened to serve a batch of new wine that suited my taste. As a result, I lost control in the end, took a few too many sips and lost my wallet. Jerry, the only one who could find his wallet right away, had to pay for it because of Merry. There is an emergency mission in North County, and I am not in the bureau now...

The smell of conspiracy is very strong...

After circling the tail of his hair twice with his fingers, the red-haired director responded vaguely, frowning as he pondered the real target of the "enemy."

As for the direct target, it seems to be to steal your wallet?

But they really only have money in their wallets, which is not worth the effort. Therefore, their real purpose is probably the subsequent impact of "they have no money."

Considering that there is a [Gate to the Other World] over there that can briefly peek into the future, then they must have seen that they did something after they ran out of money, which made them feel that they had an opportunity!

So what will you do when you have no money? Ask Emma to borrow money like yesterday? Borrow money using the [Loan Interest Bag] like today? Or go to the tavern you used to go to and get credit?

It's strange. These things are all common. Which one will expose your flaws? How about... try to do it all once?

…

The red-haired director, who had a headache from thinking about it, began to fiddle with the empty wallet in his hand unconsciously, clicking and pulling out the buttons of the wallet.

Leon, who noticed her movements, raised his eyebrows slightly and thought of the wallet that was suddenly delivered to him. Then he reached out and tapped the cufflinks and took out the bulging wallet.

"By the way, in addition to the [Evil List], I also encountered another thing that may be related to abnormal objects."

Putting his wallet on the table and briefly explaining the origin of the magic, Leon said with some concern:

"You know how bad my luck is. Good things like money falling from the sky are unlikely to happen to me, so I thought... hmm? What is this?"

"You'll know just by touching it."

After throwing the empty wallet in his hand to Leon, the red-haired director calmly opened a certain little golden retriever's wallet, took out five gold wheels, put them into his pocket, and then returned the wallet. return.

"When your salary is paid next month, I will give you ten more gold wheels. Remember to help me return the money to others when the time comes!"

? ? ?

No...what is this all about? Why didn't I understand?

The confused Leon frowned, and then followed the red-haired director's words and reached out to touch the empty wallet in his hand.

"Zi..."

[Name: Lending Bag (Wealth)]

[Appearance: An extremely old-style men's leather wallet. The once tough hard leather bottom has been completely worn away. You can even insert your fingers into the wallet through the hole at the bottom.]

[Ability: Windfall]

[Price: After using this abnormal object to obtain a windfall, you need to return double the amount to the owner]

[Archives: This is a genuine antique anomaly. It comes from the original country of Ambra. It has a long history of more than five hundred years. After being acquired by the fourth director of the Virgin Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, it has been stored in the warehouse of the Virgin Branch. among.

Four years ago, because she had spent all her salary and had no money to buy alcohol, Olivia, who was the director of the Maiden Branch at the time, found this abnormal object in the warehouse that had not been used for a long time, and then used it to make small loans. ".

In four years, she used this anomaly a total of forty-nine times, borrowed one thousand and twenty-three gold wheels, picked up twenty-five wallets, dug out four secret vaults containing personal property, and exchanged the winnings Fifteen lottery tickets...]

[Evaluation: A seriously underestimated anomaly. Rather than paying back double the amount every time you borrow money, its real use should be to directly "borrow" a large sum at a critical moment, and then never pay it back again]

[Dip value: 2.3]

"..."

So... the wallet I just "handed in" was actually "borrowed" by you using this thing? No wonder the process was so outrageous!

After reading the description of [Loan Interest Bag], Leon couldn't help but smack his lips, and then complained speechlessly:

"There is such a weird abnormal thing... and you have to pay double if you use this!

Compared to borrowing money from it, why don't you go to a bank to borrow money? My annual salary is only more than 600 gold wheels. The interest you pay after borrowing money with this thing is enough for my salary for two years!"

"In theory, it is better to go to a bank."

The red-haired director spread his hands and said:

"But I pay back the money too slowly. Several major banks in the capital have blocked me. The remaining banks that are willing to lend me money don't want me to pay back the money, but want me to repay the favor. So I might as well borrow money directly from this, don't you think?"

"..."

Bullshit! Your salary is so high, if you control yourself and drink less, you will be short of money?

"Alas, people always have money when they are short of money, just in case~"

After looking at Leon with a stinky face, the red-haired director who successfully "borrowed" five gold wheels sat up straight and changed the subject with a serious face:

"In addition, if I guess correctly, something bad will definitely happen in a week at most, so you must be more careful recently."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because of the time when Jerry comes back."

The red-haired director narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers:

"If you didn't accidentally discover it, Jerry would start to help me find the lost wallet when he came back a week later, and then because he couldn't detect the smell of the wallet, I would be alert to this matter.

Then reversely inferring, if they want to do something and don't want to alarm me, they must get it done within this week, so I guess something will definitely happen in the week before Jerry comes back!"
