Chapter 1399: Earth core molten path

"That... I promise I won't tell anyone about what just happened."

Looking at the female cleaner, who was in a state of extreme shame and relief, and looked both happy and sad, the broken-in miss suggested in a low voice:

"Miss, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop, and I didn't hear anything, I just happened to run into it... Or... or I'll pay you some money?"

"No... no need..."

Hearing the broken-in miss's suggestion, the female cleaner, who had come back to her senses, shook her head, then reached out to grab the hem of her skirt, and asked nervously while staring at her:

"You really didn't hear anything?"

"No, no!"

The broken-in miss waved her hand in a panic:

"I only heard you and an old man chatting about ports and mountain passes, and because I was afraid you would find me, I blocked my ears, and I didn't hear anything after that!"

"Alright..."

Nodding suspiciously, the female cleaner turned slightly to let her pass, then suddenly said when the broken-in miss was leaving in a panic with her head down:

"You won't tell anyone about my grandmother, right?"

"Ah?"

The broken-in miss was startled upon hearing this, then asked back with surprise:

"Wasn't it your father who started the war... Ah!"

Liar! You said you didn't hear anything?!

After testing it casually and directly scamming the truth out, the female cleaner couldn't help but stomp her feet in annoyance, and reached out to grab the broken-in miss again.

And just at this moment, a slow dog bark sounded. In the bowl and dish on the table beside the broken-in miss, a golden dog head suddenly poked out.

In the surprised expression of the female cleaner, the golden dog poked its head out slightly and bit the hem of the broken-in miss's skirt. With just a light drag, it dragged her into the smooth-as-a-mirror bowl and dish, shook twice, and disappeared.

Woo... it's over now...

Looking at the broken-in miss who was dragged into the bowl and dish by the dog, the female cleaner couldn't help but feel bitter for a while.

This woman was also a cleaner from the Virgin Branch Bureau. After she ran away, she would definitely go to Leon to tell him what she heard. Although she could also find Leon to confess first, the crying just now had already used up all the courage she had managed to gather, this... this made her not know how to open her mouth?

Full of sorrow, she circled back to the other side of the pillar, put away the small mirror that didn't know when it had dimmed, left this sad place, and searched for Leon's position all the way.

And after she walked far away, fine scratching sounds suddenly sounded beside the bowl and dish where the broken-in miss disappeared.

Accompanied by the sound of the sheep tail sweeping on the back of the chair, Leon's figure appeared on the chair beside the bowl and dish. Judging by the position, the female cleaner only needed to tilt her hand another inch just now, and she might have been able to grab his shoulder.

Miss Lai La is really... the performance of her 【Broken-in Miss】 is really stable as always.

After pulling the 【Secret Tail】 from his butt and throwing it back into the mirror world, recalling what he had just heard, Leon, whose expression was complex, couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

That Bureau Chief Barto of the Water Bottle Branch was right. It was indeed very hard to say who was right and who was wrong in the war six years ago. Even the kingdom side that was invaded was very hard to say absolutely innocent.

And this war, which was extremely cruel and painful for many people, was exactly the opposite for himself. After all, if there hadn't been that war, Anna wouldn't have created the anomalous object, and there wouldn't have been his existence. In a certain sense, he even had to thank that war. It was the influence it brought that gave him a warm family, gave him a gentle and sensible sister, and gave him the most important spiritual sustenance.

However, for Anna who had lost almost everything, this topic was really a bit too cruel...

After sighing with a little heartache, looking up at the female cleaner's back in the distance, Leon couldn't help but feel a bit of sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, most people who could join the Cleaning Bureau had some not-so-good experiences. Even Melly, who looked carefree, still had some sad pasts she didn't want to recall.

According to the situation he heard, her mother should also be a cleaner from the Water Bottle Branch, but she sacrificed in a certain cleaning task, and it seemed that it was when she could evacuate, but she chose to sacrifice in order to save more people.

Although he didn't know what specific task it was, it was mostly issued by Bureau Chief Barto of the Water Bottle Branch, which also indirectly led to the death of the female cleaner's mother, causing the female cleaner and her brother to lose their mother.

So the current King of the North Kingdom should deeply hate the decision of his Uncle Grandpa, and didn't say a word to him for many years. And for Melly, who was brought by his side and would also become a cleaner in the future, he probably couldn't have any good attitude.

Uncle Grandpa felt guilty and had many affairs, mother sacrificed early because of the task, father was busy with government affairs and bedridden all year round, and the ambitious brother left, even if his attitude toward her improved slightly later, he was afraid that he would be too busy with government affairs to take care of her.

Calculating like this, although she definitely didn't worry about food and clothing, she probably didn't live very well and should be very lonely.

A child who was about the same as Melany, didn't receive much care from family members since she was a child, and was soaked in the Cleaning Bureau full of weirdos, being able to grow up like this was already very rare...

Hmm... or maybe although she didn't live well, it was also true that she was happy usually.

Looking at the female cleaner who was looking for him halfway and subconsciously turned to the food collection table, Leon couldn't help but smile, then bent his knuckles and knocked on the bowl and dish on the table gently.

"Miss Lai La, I've already seen you, come out quickly!"

"Woof!"

Accompanied by a familiar dog bark, the golden retriever in the bowl and dish flashed by, and the panicked broken-in miss was arched out from inside... but only her head.

Good guy... this scene is really a bit creepy...

Looking at the human head of the broken-in miss in the dish, the corners of Leon's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he hurriedly moved the vase on the table to block the head, avoiding scaring others, then asked:

"Miss Lai La, the Bureau Chief asked you to find me, besides telling me that the people are all here, is there anything else?"

"Yes..."

Twisting her head in the plate and finding that the female cleaner was not nearby, the broken-in miss breathed a sigh of relief, then relayed:

"Bureau Chief Olivia asked me to tell you that the General Bureau found some clues, guessing that deep in the underground river of Hot River City, there is likely a molten path leading directly to the earth core, and the Bureau's investigation means for the earth core are limited, making it very difficult to monitor the specific situation there.

So the General Bureau's meaning is to hope that you can set off a little earlier, join forces with Bureau Chief Barto of the Water Bottle Branch, and search the underground of Hot River City together, while guarding against the Luwang Society, and eliminate the hidden dangers of the underground river as soon as possible."
