Chapter 216: 215 Unprecedented Intensity

This time it's stable!

Hearing the Cleaning Bureau Director's request, the red-haired Director could not help but curl her lips, secretly giving herself a thumbs up in her heart.

The reason she "resisted stubbornly" just now and argued with the Director for so long even though she was in the wrong was to lead to the Aquarius matter.

Previously, she didn't choose to initiate the inquiry at the year-end review but chose to inquire privately after the year-end review. One reason was to drag it out for a few more days for Li Ang so that he would have ample time to go undercover.

The second reason was that, like Tang Mu's dice, the Aquarius Director had tailored anomalous objects for members of many branch bureaus over the years, and some were even directors of various branch bureaus. Many people owed him favors. She was worried that initiating an inquiry at the year-end review venue would easily cause side issues.

After all, with the Aquarius Director's ability, those few directors who were on good terms with him wouldn't even need to do anything. As long as they reacted a little "slowly" when Aquarius didn't pass the inquiry and prepared to flee and rush toward them, it would be enough to let the Aquarius Director go.

But now it was different. Although Li Ang had already completed the undercover mission and she didn't need to drag it out for him anymore, plus there was the General Bureau Director sitting in town, those branch bureau directors who were on good terms with Aquarius definitely wouldn't dare to slack off and let Aquarius go. So initiating the inquiry now was undoubtedly a more suitable choice.

……

「Then I'll say it! 」

After hesitating slightly, not wanting Li Ang to be noticed by the branch bureau directors who were on good terms with Aquarius, the red-haired Director did not mention his name this time but spoke directly without naming names:

「Last month, our Virgo branch bureau reported an anomalous object named 【Happy Apartment】. Originally, we thought that this anomalous object was born from the kindness of an old couple who opened a poorhouse, as well as the gratitude and thoughts of those who received their help.

But after subsequent visits and investigations, the cleaners in our bureau discovered that this old couple had contact with the Aquarius Director before they were alive and were suspected of being induced by some kind of malice, but it was not successful in the end.

At that time, we didn't have too many suspicions, but later when we were arresting the rebels suspected of holding anomalous objects, we found that they also had some connection with the Aquarius Director and also went through similar deliberate guidance…」

After telling in detail about the situation Li Ang discovered, under the gaze of a group of directors and branch bureau directors, the red-haired Director looked up at the Aquarius Director on the director's seat, summarizing solemnly:

「I believe that the Aquarius Director privately manufactured a large number of anomalous objects without reporting to the bureau, and in order to meet the conditions, frequently carried out malicious induction on ordinary people!

Besides that, he also cultivated rebels in the Kingdom guarded by our Virgo branch bureau, endowed at least twelve people with anomalous abilities, and let them run wild and destroy everywhere!

These people have constantly attacked officials, nobles, and royal family members in recent years, causing a large number of ordinary people's casualties. These should all be counted on his head! 」

「Similar situations have also been discovered in the jurisdiction of the Leo branch bureau! 」

As soon as the red-haired Director's voice fell, the Leo Bureau Director, who still had cookie crumbs on the corners of her mouth, stood up immediately and said seriously:

「Leo branch bureau Level 1 Disaster Handler Lu Fanna, while using the ability 【Scene Reproduction】 to investigate anomalous incidents in the jurisdiction, discovered several times that the holders of anomalous objects had contact with unidentified persons.

Although because the unidentified person's status was too high, Lu Fanna could not thoroughly restore his appearance, but I believe the Aquarius Director is highly suspicious as a person who can walk freely in the world, possesses a status exceeding that of an ordinary true god, and possesses the secret technique of creating anomalies! 」

「Gemini Bureau seconds this. 」

After the Leo Bureau Director Beverly finished speaking, the third Zodiac branch bureau director stood up and echoed expressionlessly:

「After receiving the notification from the Virgo and Leo directors, I immediately contacted the King of the Kingdom of Kewangguo and retrieved the observation records of all mechanical artificial eyes in the Kingdom over the past thirty years.

Finally, it was discovered that in sixty-three anomalous object attack incidents, an old man suspected to be the Aquarius Director had appeared, and all had had brief contact with the holders of anomalous objects.

After judgment, the probability that the Aquarius Director has a problem is about 98.36 percent, which is indeed very suspicious. 」

「Compass branch bureau seconds this; we also discovered similar situations. 」

「Southern Cross branch bureau seconds this. 」

「Sculptor branch bureau also discovered similar problems…」

「I also feel there is a problem. 」

After six branch bureau directors, including the three Zodiac directors, stood up one after another, the silver-haired Taurus Director, who was ranked second, actually stood up, frowning:

「I am responsible for the forging of anomalous objects in the General Bureau. Over the past twenty years, many anomalous objects and materials handed over by branch bureaus after completing cleaning tasks have been somewhat abnormal, and they are clearly not pure enough in 'cause.'

According to my understanding of anomalous objects, the status and effectiveness of these anomalous objects clearly do not match the experiences and souls of the creators, and they are also mixed with trace amounts of the power belonging to the God of Enlightenment.

After checking the relevant records in the bureau, I discovered that as one of the most suitable materials for performing the secret technique 'Anomalous Creation,' the soul and flesh of the God of Enlightenment have always been preserved by successive Aquarius Directors and have never had a record of escape.

To sum up, I believe that these anomalous objects are indeed from the hands of the Aquarius Director, and the judgment of several branch bureau directors led by Olivia has a very high probability of being correct. 」

It seems… this inquiry is about to end.

When the red-haired Director just stood up, many branch bureau directors present were not very sure, and the few who were on good terms with the Aquarius Director even showed some disapproval.

But after six directors stood up one after another to echo, the expressions of most people became serious. And after the Taurus Director also stood up to express her agreement with their judgment, almost the same thought appeared in everyone's heart in the venue.

Aquarius is finished!

Not to mention anything else, just the status of the Taurus Director as the "Palace Ascender" was not something others could compare to. It could be said that before ascending to the Watchtower next year, she was the person with the highest status in the entire Cleaning Bureau. In the face of the achievement of sacrificing everything to watch over all humanity, even if the General Bureau's Director returned, he would have to bow deeply when seeing her.

In the face of the Taurus Director's personal testimony, as long as the Aquarius Director could not give a convincing answer, he would be doomed today. Even as one of the twelve directors, he would be forcibly dragged to memory reading. And with this evidence placed in front of his face, the possibility of him passing the memory reading was infinitely close to zero.

……

「Thank you, Taurus, for your testimony. 」

Politely bowing slightly to the Taurus Director to express her respect for the watcher of humanity, the Cleaning Bureau Director turned around, looked at the Aquarius Director sitting in the eleventh seat, and asked coldly:

「Aquarius Director, do you have anything else to explain? 」

「No. 」

Under the surprised gazes of a group of directors, the Aquarius Director, who had not opened his mouth from just now until now, shook his head and said:

「They are right. These things were indeed done by 'me'. 」 ===== CHAPTER 217 =====
