My newly confirmed colleague has divine-level potential—how should I treat him? Should I grovel immediately, or hold back a bit first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urgent! Waiting online!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy… why is he so weird?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling unsettled under the lazy youth’s mixed gaze, Lyon fell silent for a moment, then awkwardly tugged at his lips and offered a polite smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his utter shock, in response to his goodwill, the youth suddenly shuddered and instinctively stepped half a pace backward…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s his problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lyon puzzled over it, the red-haired director also noticed the lazy youth’s odd behavior. After studying the two of them thoughtfully, she smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You came back awfully fast… Lyon, call him Tang Mu. Though he looks young, he joined our bureau years before Emma—he’s over thirty, and also a Level One Disaster Handler.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level One Disaster Handler?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the man’s title, Lyon’s expression instantly grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director had told him before: those assigned as Level One Disaster Handlers were usually the top agents of their respective cleanup bureaus—superior experts capable of leading solo teams through large-scale disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Level One Disaster Handlers, the elite ones had a high chance of being promoted to head of the 75th Branch when a vacancy arose; the two Level One Handlers in *** Bureau were precisely at this tier—elite agents far surpassing ordinary Level One Handlers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the strange young man before him was already a “half-step Director-level” powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Tang Mu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was a veteran and one of the bureau’s top agents; though Lyon had lived two lives, in this one he was still under seventeen—half the man’s age—so he politely greeted first:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Lyon Lyon. I just got confirmed this month and am still a Level Three Incident Handler. I’ll need your guidance in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you’re too kind…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively hiding his right hand, still bleeding from the dice cut, the lazy youth forced a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for guidance—I just joined a few years earlier. Let’s learn from each other, that’s all…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still unsure of this “future god’s” temperament, afraid of exposing himself if he tried to sneak a dice roll, the lazy youth turned to the red-haired director and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, I just came to submit my mission report—nothing urgent. Since you two have business to discuss, I won’t disturb you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired director squinted at the oddly behaved lazy youth, then at Lyon, who seemed to hold him in good regard, nodded, and took the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mission report:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just hand it to me. Go ahead and get back to work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the lazy youth’s footsteps faded slowly from the director’s office, the red-haired director turned to Lyon and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Lyon~ What do you think of Senior Tang Mu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s he like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the director’s question, Lyon paused, then replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Tang Mu seems quite amiable, but his collar has long-standing stains, his nails are unevenly trimmed, the leather on his shoes and suitcase is cracked and poorly maintained—he seems… a bit careless?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re observant, but that’s not what I meant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired director shook her head, eyes half-lidded, murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Lyon, when you have time, use that sheep to check his soul—see if there’s anything strange about it.”?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyon froze slightly, then frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You suspect him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t suspect him. Unlike other branches, everyone who stays in *** Bureau may not be good, but none are utterly evil. I want you to check his soul state because I’m worried about the people behind him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s behind him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has ties to the Aquarius Director.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired director explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Mu was once an official in the Finance Force. After the King ousted three Finance Ministers in a row, the department fell into chaos for a long time. Then he… well… desperately needed a large sum of money, so he did something dishonorable—and lost the kingdom’s reserve funds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being driven to desperation and joining the cleanup bureau, the Aquarius Director seemed to recognize some latent talent in him and helped him create an anomaly item almost tailor-made for him. Though the Aquarius Director’s identity is secret and they’ve had almost no direct contact, better safe than sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nodding and noting the task, Lyon shifted the topic back, probing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, about the demon heart seized at the Lyon Estate…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Already sent to headquarters. Wait for the inspection!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the red-haired director’s face darkened. She remembered the bureau’s plummeting performance ranking and slammed back a mouthful of bitter tea, snapping:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop obsessing! Once the bureau finishes its investigation and confirms you’re clean, it’s yours! I’ve got your back—no one can take it from you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, good, good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good bullshit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lyon look genuinely pleased, the red-haired director’s temper flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I assigned you an investigation task! An investigation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you identified a suspect, why didn’t you come back for backup? Why did you fight him directly? Your clothes were soaked in blood in the photos! Is this how you learned from Emma?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did you fail to stop it, you let it cause massive additional casualties and nearly destroy an entire noble house!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know? Your mission evaluation is the lowest possible tier in the bureau—barely above outright failure!\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","34d67d5245213809a6b6003d4fb8f0c4cbe393c5a7ac073b5377e4c7ae03c6d1","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-117","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-115",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
