177 You Investigate Me, I Investigate You, Normal

The ancestors of the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms... were all once sitters of the Watchtower Palace?

Originally, he just caused a little trouble and was a bit embarrassed to take the initiative to tell the Director, but after hearing such a secret, Leon was silent for a while, and couldn't help but ask:

"Then is Director Jin Niu also..."

"Director Jin Niu has no children."

The red-haired Director answered:

"However, if she has descendants and has this idea, the Cleaning Bureau is also willing to give certain convenience, including supporting her descendants to establish a country. If everything goes well, the Twelve Kingdoms might become the Thirteen Kingdoms in more than a hundred years."

"Leon, this world is much bigger than you imagine. It's not just where the Twelve Kingdoms are that is suitable for human survival, and the Watchtower Palace is the last barrier to protect the world. With the achievements of the sitters in watching over the world, if it's just this level of condition, the Bureau believes it is not unacceptable."

"..."

Although... ancestors saved the world and then ruled the world? What kind of Heavenly Dragon setting is this...

After hearing the red-haired Director's words, Leon couldn't help but open his mouth speechlessly, wanting to complain, but after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth.

Compared to Heavenly Dragons, the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms are much more normal. Although there are those who act recklessly, because most are countries where the royal family doesn't have the final say, power is subject to certain checks and balances, and they haven't exceeded the category of "human."

And the Cleaning Bureau itself has a secretive style and a loose structure, imposes extremely heavy penalties on "anomalous" interference with "daily behavior," and each branch has great autonomy, not being a tight power organization.

Except for giving some special preferential treatment to the royal families of various countries because of their status as descendants of "sitters," it doesn't seem to stand in front of the stage to protect the Twelve Kingdoms to the death. So the Twelve Kingdoms and the Cleaning Bureau seem to be some kind of mutually beneficial relationship.

The former has no direct competition with the latter in terms of power, and needs to rely on the latter to resist the invasion of anomalies; the latter needs the former to maintain the stability of the surface world, and provide corresponding help and support when needed, which can be considered as maintaining a relatively stable relative balance.

"In addition, you also need to be more careful during this period of time."

Just when Leon was pondering what the situation of the Twelve Kingdoms was, the red-haired Director thought for a while, and said uncertainly:

"I feel that this matter might also have something to do with Director Water Bottle."

Director Water Bottle again?

Leon frowned, and asked tentatively:

"Is it because the rebels' ability comes from Director Water Bottle? Director, are you suspecting that this attack was actually directed by Director Water Bottle?"

"There are reasons for this, but more of it is the intensity of that ability."

The red-haired Director frowned:

"If it's just letting an ordinary person be completely forgotten, there are not many abilities that can reach this level. But wanting to make a Princess of a country disappear from everyone's memory, the intensity of the ability, the status of the anomalous object, and the price paid are all extremely astonishing. Not many branch Directors can reach this level."

"And clearly one extremely important person is missing, but no one found anything wrong, and everything was forcibly 'rationalized', as if this country never had a Princess... Don't you think this ability is a bit familiar?"

Everything is forcibly rationalized...

After frowning and pondering for a while, Leon suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise:

"You mean... the Evil God Brain responsible for erasing the traces of anomalous events?"

"Accurately speaking, it should be the Evil God Brain and the 【Illusion Can】 containing the Evil God Brain."

The red-haired Director narrowed her eyes:

"The intensity of this forgetting ability is a bit over the standard, so I am more inclined to think that this time someone who understands the operating rules of the 【Illusion Can】 extremely well borrowed the power of the 【Illusion Can】 to take a shortcut."

"That forgetting ability probably just opened a head, and the follow-up was to borrow the trace-erasing ability of the 【Illusion Can】, by misleading the 【Illusion Can】 to judge that the event ended and the Princess disappeared, actively launching a large-scale erasure of the event traces, to cause the current"

effect.

"Otherwise, if it were just a simple forgetting ability, as long as someone flipped through old newspapers, or received official documents signed by the Princess before being forgotten, they would immediately find something wrong. Only the 【Illusion Can】 in the Bureau can guarantee that these problems are forcibly rationalized, and the person who has the ability to do this..."

The person who has the ability to do this is Director Water Bottle!

After instantly understanding the logic in the red-haired Director's words, Leon only felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was being stared at by a peerless old silver coin.

"Director..."

Looking at his mere 4.1 infection value, and confirming that his small body couldn't withstand the tossing, Leon, who felt that something was wrong, couldn't help but complain:

"Lai'en Blood Night, the review from the General Bureau came down in less than a week; and from the time we reported that Director Water Bottle might have a problem until now, how many days have passed, why is there still no movement from the General Bureau?"

"What kind of movement do you want? Directly arrest Director Water Bottle and let you take that goat to interrogate him?"

After glaring at Leon, the red-haired Director said unpleasantly:

"No matter what, he is also a Director! You are a newcomer who has only joined the Cleaning Bureau for a month, proposing to initiate a review of him is like a shepherd in Laien County reporting that the King went to his sheepfold to steal sheep yesterday. Basically, no one will pay attention to it."

"Even if I endorse you and let this news get attention, it is troublesome to implement the review of him. At least it must get the approval of three Directors. And most of the Directors in the Bureau have secret identities, and it is not certain whether they are in this world."

"So just keep waiting!"

"Anyway, it will be the time for the year-end review soon. Every year, three Directors will be responsible for presiding over the year-end review. Plus Director Jin Niu who is rushing back, I can at least notify four Directors next week. At that time, the review of Water Bottle will be almost down."

A week...

Leon pondered for a while, then relaxed a little, but just as he wanted to continue saying something, he heard a creaking sound suddenly coming from the drawer behind the red-haired Director.

"It should be news from the General Bureau."

Noticing the movement, the red-haired Director returned to the table, reached out and fumbled in the drawer for a while, then pulled out a form stained with ink and scanned it quickly.

"I thought it was something, it turned out to be your investigation results, you... mm?"

Seeming to see something incredible, the red-haired Director first twitched her eyelids, then frowned subconsciously.

"Leon..."

After reading this form in one glance, and staying for a while on evaluations like "Suspicious!", "Dangerous!", "Crazy!", the red-haired Director took a deep breath, and notified with an ugly expression:

"Your investigation results... are not very optimistic..." ===== CHAPTER 179 =====

"Your investigation results... are not very optimistic..."
