I! Cleaner!

"Matthew, my name is Matthew Notmely."

After repeating her name unhurriedly, Ma Sheimei, who was called to the director's office, said with a somewhat shy expression:

"The small room on the right side of the storage room opposite your office, half of the roof occupied by the stairs, is my office. I usually stay in it, and occasionally I come out to help with cleaning and so on... By the way, Is the salary in the bureau paid every three months?”

"..."

Actually, it's once a week... But mainly when I was paying my salary before, I really didn't think of you as a person, so...

"Well, our bureau has a relatively free way of paying salaries. It can be paid weekly or annually. It depends on how you want to receive it."

In Leon's somewhat strange expression, the red-haired director coughed dryly, blurred about forgetting to pay the salary, and then said:

"Matthew, Leon and I called you here this time because there is something we need to tell you... You should be involved in a very dangerous mission."

After telling the most relevant parts about the anomalies in the King-Slaying Society and the Kingdom of Witches, as well as the future that the Freckled Prince saw, the red-haired director announced with a serious look:

"Matthew, although we still don't know what the situation is, one thing is certain, that is, you guys will probably have to go to the land of witches together according to the future of hanging on the gallows."

"ah?"

After hearing what the red-haired director said, Matthew, whose appearance was so ordinary that he would be lost in a crowd in a second, couldn't help but asked in shock:

"If the Kingdom of Witches is dangerous, why should we go there? If we don't go to the Kingdom of Witches, wouldn't that future not happen?"

"Because if we don't go to the Kingdom of Witches, although we won't be hanged, we will encounter more troublesome situations."

After taking over the conversation from the director, Leon opened his mouth to tell:

"Matthew, before coming to find you, the director and I also tried some other methods, but in the end we found that no matter what we did, as long as we did not arrive at the Kingdom of Witches at a certain point in time, the four of us would fall asleep together immediately. "

"sleep?"

"To be more specific, what you are about to enter will be a waking and eternal sleep."

After recalling the scene described by Joshua, the red-haired director couldn't help but sigh, then frowned and said:

"What is waiting for you in the Kingdom of Witches is an arranged [bedtime story]. If you take the initiative to join, you will be the person in the story, and if you refuse to join, then you will Become a storyteller.

Although choosing to be the person in the story may be subject to many very harsh restrictions, if you choose to be the person listening to the story, then after the [bedtime story] is told, you will have no choice but to go to bed after listening to the story. .

According to the past records of the Bureau, you will lose the ability to control your body at that time, but retain all perceptions of the outside world, becoming a living dead who knows everything but can do nothing.

During this period, you don’t even have the power to choose death. Unless the next [Bedtime Story] begins, your soul will continue to remain awake and in eternal sleep even if it reaches the realm of death. "

What? ! ! !

After hearing the results described by the red-haired director, Matthew's ordinary eyes couldn't help but widen suddenly.

Being a living dead who can never move while still retaining his senses is undoubtedly an extremely terrible torture. Compared with this ending, being hanged may be considered a good ending.

"Anyway, I'm afraid you really can only go to the Kingdom of Witches once."

The red-haired director informed helplessly:

"After Leon told me the situation, I immediately went to Mr. Taurus to check the past records. According to the information Mr. Taurus told me, the person who attacked you was an ancient pillar god. It was so old that even the abnormal object that recorded its information was Already corrupted.

The only thing we can be sure of now is that his 'name of truth' should be called [Wu Wu Zhi Shu], and the Bureau has no way to counter its "truth". Any story told by it will almost certainly become Reality. "

etc! almost?

When he heard this, Leon beside him couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the red-haired director seemed to know that he would react, so he turned his head and explained:

"The only exception is the third-generation director. When he captured the true god in the Tiantian Mountain plane, he was briefly dragged into the story by [Utopia], but the third-generation director is a person who can't sleep, and he is not even close to the pillar god level. Only half a step away, I successfully got rid of the influence of [Bedtime Story].

In other words, you must have a Leon value of more than 69 points, have half a foot on the threshold of the pillar god level, and you must have the ability to conflict with the 'truth' of [Utopia], otherwise you are destined to fail. Defy the story it tells. "

"..."

So, once the story of [Utopia] is established, all people below the Pillar God level must be at his mercy and unable to resist at all? This ability is too shameless!

After listening to the red-haired director's explanation, Leon's brows suddenly couldn't help but frown more and more tightly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this ability was a bit too strong.

After all, apart from the fact that the ability itself is lame, [Bedtime Story] can also pass through the barrier of the Watch Palace and directly lock onto oneself, which means that except for Director Huang Dao and the twelve directors of the entire Cleanup Bureau, [Utopia] can deal with anyone it wants without paying any price. It is simply outrageous!

"There must be a price. Even if [Bedtime Story] is special and can pass through [Watch Palace] and take effect directly on you, the King Killer Association must also pay something.

In addition, [Bedtime Story] itself probably has many limitations. In addition to the fact that only one story can exist at a time, I guess it may not be able to perfectly control the content of the story, so it is not completely unmanageable.

But the problem at the moment is that we know too little about it. We know almost nothing about it except a name, and we have no idea where to start."

Seeing what Leon was thinking at a glance, the red-haired director sighed and leaned back in his chair, saying with the same unpleasant expression :

"The ability of [Nuyouzhishu] is too hidden. If it weren't for Miss Caitlin's reminder this time, I might not have known the existence of [Bedtime Story] even until you had trouble in the Witch Country.

I even have reason to suspect that those geniuses who died suddenly in the past in the bureau were probably targeted by [Nuyouzhishu] and then killed with the help of [Bedtime Story]. We don't even have any relevant records.

The last record of [Nuyouzhishu] in the bureau was left by the third director. It has been thousands of years now. Many of the records engraved on the stone tablets have rotted away. No one knows what its current situation is..."
