I! Cleaner!

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

The short man didn't feel embarrassed when he was caught stealing in front of me. Instead, he said with a joking face:

"Don't be so serious. It's scary. If I really want to steal his things, there are plenty of opportunities. Why should I be so desperate and do it in front of you?

I just heard that there was a newcomer in the bureau, and he killed a holy spirit before he was officially promoted. I was a little curious about him, so I just took it out..."

"So where is the thing?"

Ignoring the short man's long speech, the red-haired director stretched out his hand slightly downward, knocked hard on the table with the back of his hand, and then squinted his eyes and warned:

"Jerry, don't let me say it for the third time."

"Take it right away, take it right away!"

Seeing that the red-haired director's fox eyes were getting narrower and narrower, the short man couldn't help but tighten his expression. He hurriedly took out a photo from his arms and put it on the table honestly.

Photo?

After picking up the photo on the table, the red-haired director was slightly startled when he saw the couple standing in embrace and the little girl holding her parents' hands and smiling happily.

In addition to controlling animals, Jerry's most outstanding anomaly is [The Stealer], which can forcibly steal an item that has the greatest impact on the target's past life after contacting the target, regardless of whether the item is on the target or not, or even if the item is destroyed.

So if his ability is correct, the item that has the greatest impact on Leon's past life is the photo on the table?

"Director, what is the ability of this thing? Can you tell me about it?"

Looking at the red-haired director's thoughtful expression, the extremely curious short man scratched his head and cheeks in a hurry. After forbearing again and again, he still couldn't hold it back, and asked in a flattering face:

"It can allow a newcomer who has been in contact with the anomaly for less than a month to have the power to clear the Holy Spirit one-on-one. The ability of this anomaly must be very powerful, right?"

Hmm? So this photo is an anomaly? But why is the aura so weak? Has it been destroyed many times before?

After hearing the short man's question, the red-haired director couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and then shook his head decisively:

"I don't know about this. The most commonly used sensory anomaly is the sheep. It has been given to Leon. The new sensory anomaly has not been applied for yet, so my current sensory ability is quite average.

If you really want to know the ability of this anomaly, it's useless to find me, but there is a person in our bureau who has the ability called [Intelligence Acquisition]. As long as he reaches out and touches it, he can know the information of most anomalies. You can go and ask him."

What? There are such people in our bureau? !

The short man couldn't help but cheer up when he heard this. This ability is a perfect match for him! Apart from anything else, he has stolen... secretly borrowed a lot of things over the years, but either he can't activate it at all, or he doesn't know the rules and prices and dares not use them indiscriminately.

If I can ask this [Intelligence Acquisition] for help, as long as one-third of the abnormal objects I have accumulated over the years can be used, I may be able to take my strength to a new level and be promoted to a first-level disaster handler!

"Director, why didn't you say it earlier!"

After bravely complaining to the red-haired director, the short man kept rubbing his hands and asked excitedly:

"Who is that person? Oh, and, will he exchange his abnormal object of [Intelligence Acquisition]? As long as he is willing to exchange, he can choose from my collections over the years!"

"It should be impossible to exchange it. His ability is more like a talent that resides in his soul. As for who that person is..."

After glancing at the short man playfully, the red-haired director picked up the photo and shook it, smiling:

"Here, the one you just stole is it."

"..."

"This...you know my..."

Looking at the red-haired director's mischievous eyes, the short man, who knew he was fooled, collapsed and said with a somewhat embarrassed look:

"Although I have a bit of a stealth habit, I never steal from acquaintances. I usually just touch and take a look and then return it. Even if it's a stranger, as long as the other party is not a bad guy, I usually won't take away someone's love. This... can you..."

"You want to take this thing back and return it secretly, so that Leon won't hate you and refuse to help you, right?"

Seeing through the short man's thoughts at a glance, the red-haired director shook his finger and said with a smile:

"Oh... This is not easy to do~

Although little Leon has just joined the Cleanup Bureau, he not only gets along very well with me, but also treated me to a good drink. If I help you keep it secret from him, how can I be worthy of our friendship as drinking buddies?"

"..."

Got it, you have to increase the price, right?

Seeing the smiling face of the red-haired director, the short man had to give up his fluke mentality and suggested with a painful face:

"How about I treat you to a drink..."

"Ahem, there's no need to mention this, I'm not that kind of person."

Before hearing the conditions that he couldn't refuse, the red-haired director hurriedly stopped the short man and coughed dryly, saying with a serious face:

"If I'm not mistaken, you want Leon to use his ability to help you identify the "harvest" of these years, right?"

"Yes..."

"That's easy."

The red-haired director bent his knuckles, knocked on the table, and then smiled and said:

"Although I don't know how much you have saved over the years, judging from your style, the amount is definitely not small.

And helping you identify so many things at once requires a lot of physical strength and willpower, but it is an out-and-out hard job, so... is it not too much to let him choose one thing for the hard work? "

"Not too much, not too much."

Although he was still reluctant to give up, the short man, who knew the character of his own director, understood that bargaining would only result in being ripped off more severely, so he agreed immediately and wisely.

"Okay, just leave the things here with me first, and I will put in a good word for you later."

After nodding with satisfaction, the red-haired director pulled off a piece of hair, tied up the photo of the suspected abnormal object, put it in the drawer, and then said with a smile:

"But the identification of things may have to wait. He still has an important investigation task today. He can't be distracted now. After the investigation task is completed, I will ask him to identify your collection."

"Okay, then I won't go anywhere, I'll just wait in the bureau!"

After nodding happily in agreement, looking at the smiling red-haired director, the short man couldn't contain his curiosity anymore, and couldn't help but said cautiously:

"By the way, Director, is Leon... familiar with the directors of other bureaus? Or is he favored by a certain director? Or... are you..."

"You want to ask, why do I take care of him so much?"

After glancing at the short man who spoke with deep meaning, the red-haired director said speechlessly:

"Before asking this question, I suggest you think carefully about who are the people in our bureau now."

Before the short man could answer, the red-haired director twirled his fingers and counted them one by one:

"The rebel who failed in the coup, the pervert who had an affair with the Prime Minister's wife, the thief who stole from the royal family, the gambling dog who lost the kingdom's reserves, the food transport officer who went the wrong way on the battlefield and almost starved to death of 30,000 people, the R\u0026D officer The pharmacist who made a mistake in the medicine and left half of the county submerged in a sea of ​​shit..."

Looking at the short man who looked a little embarrassed, the red-haired director squinted his eyes and concluded:

"If you don't join the Cleanup Bureau, you guys will basically start with the death penalty. Even now, you are always being watched. Even if you want to leave the capital to go on a mission, you have to report in advance.

As for Lyon, he has a clean net worth, good character, smart and alert, down-to-earth and hard-working, and his talent is quite outstanding. He killed a Holy Spirit before he was out of the probation period... You said it yourself, compared with you, I don't take care of you. Who does he take care of? "
