I! Cleaner!

"I trust you……"

Faced with Lyon's "eating and wiping" method of obtaining trust, as the only survivor of the Aquarius Branch, the middle-aged man had to choose the only path with dejection in his eyes after being silent for a while.

After all, if Leon is telling the truth, then everyone in the Aquarius Branch can still be saved, but if what he is telling is a lie... then it makes no difference whether you believe him or not.

"Leon...Your Excellency."

The middle-aged man, who added an honorific to Leon's name against his will, and whose heart was in a mess, asked feebly:

"So what are you going to do? Take everyone from our Aquarius Branch directly to the underground river to find Director Balto?"

"That's what I originally thought."

Leon nodded when he heard this, and then said sincerely:

“But after listening to your analysis just now, I think your analysis makes sense.

It was obvious that the Earth Core Molten Channel had been opened for more than half a month, but the King Killing Club chose to set out when Director Balto entered the Earth River, and was caught by Director Balto.

I also think that this timing is too coincidental. They may have ulterior motives. On the surface, they are preparing to break the blockade of the Stone Marrow World by the Cleanup Bureau, but in fact they want to transfer Director Balto and take the opportunity to attack Rehe City.

Hmm... It's even possible to be a little more greedy and prepare to do it together, not only to release the three blocked earth tribes, but also to take action against the Aixituo royal family in Rehe City! "

"Then what should we do?"

After listening to Leon's words, the female cleaner who came back to her senses couldn't help but said anxiously:

"If the King Killing Club really plans to attack both sides at the same time, should we stay and guard Rehe City, or should we go down to find my uncle?"

"If you think about it from the most rational perspective, it is actually safer to pursue it."

Leon thought for a while and then said:

"What is the ultimate goal of the King-Slaying Association? It can be seen from their name. Cleaning out the twelve royal families who can 'strengthen' the Watch Palace is their ultimate goal.

And you are also of the blood of the royal family, so I can definitely take you down. In this case, even if something happens to the royal family on earth, as long as you are safe, the purpose of the King-Slaying Society will have failed.

In addition, considering the worst outcome, if the blockade of the Stone Marrow Realm is really unlocked, Director Balto who pursues him will face the siege of the Killing King Society and the three Earth Clans at the same time, and will most likely be in danger. .

If we rush over immediately, we can not only ensure that the purpose of the King Killing Club cannot be achieved, but also ensure the safety of Director Balto. This should be the safest choice at the moment, but..."

Although Leon didn't finish what he said, everyone present understood what he meant.

It’s just that if you choose this way, it will be equivalent to completely giving up the royal family of the Northern Kingdom, and even all the people of Rehe City. If the people of the King Slaughter Association are really trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they will naturally have no choice but to completely lose their protection. Able to be slaughtered.

So, on one side are the people of Rehe City, on the other side is the safety of Uncle Grandpa and Shouwang Palace?

…

After receiving Leon's probing gaze, the female cleaner couldn't help but clenched her fists subconsciously, her two beautiful big eyes filled with confusion.

As Leon said, the most "correct" choice at the moment is to go underground first to ensure that the plan of the King-Slaying Society is defeated and to ensure the safety of my uncle and grandpa, but...

"The price is too high."

After looking at the hesitant female cleaner, the middle-aged man "Hope"'s eyes were blank for a moment, and then he frowned and said to Lyon:

"The duty of our cleaners is to stand in front of the human race, stop those things that are outside the lives of 'ordinary people', and protect the stability of the world. If we choose to sacrifice the people of Jehol City, it will be equivalent to our own responsibilities. departure.

Secondly, although the choice you proposed, Mr. Lyon, is the safest, it is too unconfident in the Director. As the oldest Zodiac Director in existence, the Director’s strength is one of the best among the Zodiac Directors. He may not be able to catch up with the King Killing Club. people.

Moreover, the director has been chasing them for a long time, and they have probably entered the core of the earth. With their speed, it is almost impossible for us to catch up. It may be a burden if they go down, so it is better to try our best to defend Rehe City first... …”

When he said this, the middle-aged man paused slightly, then turned to look at the female cleaner, with a sincere and slightly sad expression:

"Finally, if the worst-case scenario really happens... then I believe that the director will make the same choice as your mother did as a liquidator!"

The choice a cleaner should make...

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the female cleaner couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then bit her lip hard.

"Uncle Hope, you...you are right!"

As if she had made up her mind, the female cleaner looked at Lyon with red eyes, and said to Lyon with a slightly trembling voice:

"Leon, let's stay! My uncle told me that as a cleaner, he...he...wu!"

"..."

No... your uncle and grandpa are still alive, okay? Why do you act like he's going to be buried soon?

Looking at the female cleaner who suddenly started sobbing after speaking halfway, Leon couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a moment.

Aren't we brainstorming how to get the best of both worlds? Why, while talking, suddenly skipped the research and discussion link, directly decided to sacrifice your uncle and grandfather, and then suddenly started to sensationalize?

"Your Excellency Leon!"

Probably infected by the atmosphere, the middle-aged man who looked depressed just now suddenly raised his head, looked at Leon with tearful eyes and said:

"Stay and protect Jehol City! Director Balto always tells us that his greatest wish in this life is not to die of old age worthless, but to sacrifice himself vigorously in the defense of mankind..."

"Stop! Stop it!"

Being a little overwhelmed by the unusual excitement of the two female cleaners, Leon couldn't help but complained speechlessly:

"Does Director Balto treat you very badly? Why do I think you two want him to die quickly? Just calm down and listen to me, not yet..."

"No! This is a forced sacrifice!"

After interrupting Leon, the middle-aged man clenched his fists and said passionately:

"Director, his sacrifice will not be in vain! His death will be exchanged for...um...what is this?"

"Something to help you calm down."

He took out a small bottle from the mirror world, dipped his fingers into the viscous liquid inside, and flicked a few drops of water towards the middle-aged man. Leon grabbed the female cleaner and put the small bottle into her hand. inside.

"Drink! It's best to drink it all!"

"???"

Looking at the strange little bottle in her hand, the female cleaner lowered her head and sniffed it first, then blinked in surprise and asked with puzzled eyes:

"The smell is so familiar... What's in this bottle?"

"Your saliva."

"ah?"

"When you were unconscious on the airship, you were drooling while sleeping, so I took some of it."

After explaining the origin of the small bottle of [Calming Saliva], Leon, who had already realized something was wrong, frowned and urged:

"Drink quickly! You two have been tricked! Finish your drink first and then talk!"
