Chapter 1167: Response Method

"Hmm, I already know about the Cleaning Bureau investigating me."

After hearing the reminder from the meeting host, the young girl wearing the White Owl mask nodded slightly, then chuckled and said:

"Compared to them sending people to investigate me, what surprises me more is that they actually only sent people to investigate me now. It seems that although the Cleaning Bureau has many strong people, their efficiency is truly terrifyingly low."

"Do not be careless."

After the young girl codenamed Snow Owl finished speaking, the person at the head of the table frowned and said:

"Don't forget how the Ophiuchus Branch and the East Calavin Kingdom were destroyed. Although the Cleaning Bureau has rotted quite a bit in the last few hundred years, its foundation is still thick enough. If you really push them into a corner, no one knows what those people can pull out.

In addition, according to the intelligence provided by 'Puppy', this investigation into the Wang Gong Kingdom is very likely a joint mission, executed by two Zodiac Branches together. This means that in the worst-case scenario, there might even be two human 'Pseudo-Pillar God' level people coming for you at the same time."

"Thank you for the reminder, I will try to be as cautious as possible."

The young girl wearing the White Owl mask smiled and said:

"However, before you summoned us, I had already guessed that there might be people from the Cleaning Bureau coming to investigate me.

The Wang Gong Kingdom under my control is almost completely closed to the outside world, and the channels are also very singular. The number of outsiders is very limited, so if strange guests come to visit, it is still very easy to discover.

In addition, although these guests from the Oleson Kingdom refused to use the identification cards I provided, they used a method I don't understand to sneak between various sectors, successfully avoiding my surveillance.

But the fact that they can frequently appear in positions where they shouldn't appear under normal circumstances without travel records is already equivalent to shouting directly at me, telling me that they have problems."

Oleson Kingdom?

Hearing this, a member of the King-Slaying Society wearing a Yellow Ox mask beside Snow Owl couldn't help but have his expression move slightly, and he suddenly said:

"That should be people from the Scorpio Branch. Although most of my believers in the Oleson Kingdom have gone into hiding and cannot frequently pass messages, they can still carry out some basic surveillance activities.

In the Scorpio Branch, many high-level members have not carried out cleaning activities recently, including Branch Chief 'Puppeteer' Edward, Level 1 Cleaner 'Line Man' Alger, and Level 2 Cleaner 'Straight Path' Mona. A total of 5 cleaners have not appeared.

And the method Snow Owl mentioned, that can travel directly between different sectors of the Wang Gong Kingdom without the help of an identification card, should be the exclusive anomalous object of 'Straight Path'. The people who sneaked into the Wang Gong Kingdom are likely them."

"Good, since we know who the opponent is, it's much easier to handle."

After the Yellow Ox mask finished speaking, the person at the head of the table nodded slightly with satisfaction and said:

"Regarding the intelligence about the Scorpio Branch, tell Snow Owl privately later so she can be prepared. What about the others? Is there anyone else in the area they are responsible for monitoring who has high-level cleaners acting strangely?"

"......"

After the person at the head of the table finished speaking, the members of the King-Slaying Society around the long table pondered for a while, then shook their heads one after another, either frankly stating they didn't know or indicating there was no abnormality.

That is a bit strange.

Looking at the members of the King-Slaying Society who gave no feedback, the person at the head of the table couldn't help but frown.

According to the intelligence provided by 'Puppy', this investigation into the Wang Gong Kingdom should be a joint action by two Zodiac Branches. Then why is it that only the Scorpio Branch's cleaners have abnormalities?

"That... I do have some discoveries here."

Just then, a member of the King-Slaying Society wearing a Thrush mask raised his hand, his expression somewhat hesitant as he said:

"However, it is not a high-level cleaner, but a Level 3 cleaner... That Li Ang·Laien accepted a diplomatic mission to visit the Wang Gong Kingdom as a prince. He has likely already arrived." Li Ang Laien, is it...

Hearing this rather familiar name, the members of the King-Slaying Society couldn't help but fall into a brief silence.

Food Eater Li Ang, the Cleaning Bureau's hyena, the humanoid gluttony demon... The average lifespan of the members of the King-Slaying Society is very long, and in everyone's long life, although they have come into contact with a large number of crazy cleaners, there are not many who are as crazy as him.

Especially after learning from the Elk that this person seemed to have chosen to kill and eat the Death Dog guarding the border simply because of pure hunger, and had formed a blood feud with the entire Death Realm, in the hearts of most members of the King-Slaying Society, the name Li Ang had already become synonymous with a madman.

"He is special."

After pondering slightly, the person at the head of the table made a final decision:

"Although the time he joined the Cleaning Bureau is very short, this person cannot be looked at as an ordinary Level 3 cleaner. He should be looked at as Level 2... no, directly as a Level 1 cleaner. And he is the kind of elite Level 1 cleaner who can fill the position of a non-Zodiac Branch Chief.

From now on, for any news about him, the importance level can be raised by three grades. If it is discovered that he is approaching other twelve royal families and has close contact, a temporary meeting can be activated by the mask.

In addition, although the relationship between the Scorpio Branch and the Virgo Branch is very bad, considering that he once fought side by side with 'Puppeteer' Edward, the possibility of the Virgo Branch being dispatched is not low... Snow Owl, you must be prepared to encounter 'Puppeteer' and 'Blood Hair Ji' at the same time!"

"I understand."

Hearing this, Snow Owl, who had been performing quite relaxedly, also became slightly serious, then asked:

"So how do you think I should respond? Should I continue to block the news to delay time, or pretend that the royal family has not been controlled? Or... take advantage of the fact that Blood Hair Ji has not arrived, and find a way to deal with the Puppeteer and that Level 3 cleaner named Li Ang first?"

"It is better to try to delay time first."

The person at the head of the table thought for a while, then suggested:

"We are all blocked outside by the Watchtower Palace and cannot provide you with direct support. And the danger level of Blood Hair Ji is the second highest among all branch chiefs, and her destructive power is unparalleled. Coupled with the Puppeteer, whose abilities are strange and complex, a head-on collision is definitely not a good choice.

At present, regarding the situation in the Wang Gong Kingdom, the Cleaning Bureau should have some guesses, but it has not been completely determined, so they only sent people to investigate. Before the Taurus Director ascends to the palace, they should not be able to spare their hands to deal with you.

And considering the preparations on the Aquarius side, we are actually also waiting for the Taurus Director to ascend to the palace, so the best result at present is to continue to maintain the status quo, so that the Cleaning Bureau cannot determine the situation in the Wang Gong Kingdom.

With the Cleaning Bureau's current indecisive style of doing things, as long as their true bottom line is not touched, they will likely compromise temporarily and will not take the initiative to break the seemingly stable situation, but will wait until after Taurus ascends to the palace. In this way, your trouble can be considered temporarily resolved."

"Okay."

The young girl wearing the White Owl mask nodded slightly, indicating her approval of this solution, but after pondering slightly, she asked again:

"What if they really find something?"

"Then take action directly."

The person at the head of the table glanced at her after hearing this, then said coldly without hesitation:

"The most undesirable thing in doing things is hesitation. It is natural to maintain the status quo if possible, but if you find signs that you cannot maintain it, you must not have any fluke mentality. Whether it is the Puppeteer or the Food Eater, whoever finds you, kill him!"
