Chapter 580: You investigate me, I investigate you, normal

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

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

"Then is Lord Golden Bull also..."

"Lord Golden Bull has no children."

The red-haired Director answered:

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

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

"..."

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

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

Compared to Celestial Dragons, the royal families of the Twelve Kingdoms are much more normal. Although there are those who act recklessly, because most of them are not countries where the royal family has the final say, power is subject to certain checks and balances, at least not exceeding the category of "human."

And the Cleanup Bureau itself has a secretive structure and is loose, punishes "anomalies" interfering with "daily behavior" extremely heavily, and each branch has great autonomy, not being a tight power organization.

Apart from giving some special treatment to the royal families of various countries in view of the identity of the descendants of "sitters," it seems there is no intention to stand in the foreground to protect the Twelve Kingdoms to the death, so the Twelve Kingdoms and the Cleanup Bureau feel like 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."

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

"I feel that this matter might also have something to do with the Aquarius Director."

Aquarius Director again?

After Leon frowned, he tentatively asked:

"Is it because the rebels' ability comes from the Aquarius Director? Director, do you suspect that this attack was actually instigated by the Aquarius Director behind the scenes?"

"There is that reason, but more of it is the intensity of that ability."

The red-haired Director frowned and said:

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

And clearly, an extremely important person is missing, but no one found anything wrong. Everything was forcibly 'rationalized,' as if this country never had a Princess... Do you feel this ability is somewhat familiar?"

Everything is forcibly rationalized...

After frowning and pondering for a while, Leon suddenly thought of something, his eyes full of surprise:

"You mean... the Evil God's Brain responsible for erasing traces of anomalous events?" "Accurately speaking, it should be the Evil God's Brain and the 【Illusion Can】 containing the Evil God's Brain."

The red-haired Director narrowed her eyes and said:

"The intensity of this forgetting ability is somewhat over the limit, so I am more inclined to believe that this time there is someone who extremely understands the operating rules of the 【Illusion Can】 and took a shortcut with the help of the power of the 【Illusion Can】.

That forgetting ability is very likely just the beginning. The follow-up was to piggyback on the trace-erasing ability of the 【Illusion Can】, mislead the 【Illusion Can】 to judge that the event is over and the Princess has disappeared, and actively launch 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 she was 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 none other than the Aquarius Director!

As one of the Twelve Directors, he should know the rules of the 【Illusion Can】 very well, plus there is some kind of connection between him and the rebels, so the suspicion that he is behind the scenes this time cannot be said to be very large, it can only be said that he has already reported his ID number!

After instantly understanding the logic in the red-haired Director's words, Leon only felt uncomfortable all over, as if he had been targeted by some peerless old silver coin.

"Director..."

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

"After the Laien Blood Night, the General Bureau's audit of me came down in less than a week; and from the time we reported that the Aquarius Director might have a problem until now, how many days have passed? Why is there still no movement from the General Bureau?"

"What movement do you still want? Directly arrest the Aquarius Director and let you carry that sheep to interrogate him?"

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

"No matter what, he is still a Director! You, a newcomer who has only joined the Cleanup Bureau for a month, proposing to launch an audit against him is like a sheep herder in Laien County reporting that the King went to his sheep pen to steal sheep yesterday. Basically, no one will pay attention to it.

Even if I endorse you and let this news get attention, it's troublesome to implement an audit against him. At the very least, you have to get the approval of three Directors. And most of the Directors in the Bureau not only keep their identities secret, but it's not even certain if they are in this world.

So keep waiting!

Anyway, it's almost time for the year-end audit. Every year, three Directors are responsible for presiding over the year-end audit. Plus Lord Golden Bull who is rushing back, I can at least notify four Directors next week. By then, the audit against Aquarius should be able to come 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 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 to pull open the drawer and fiddled with it for a while, then pulled out a form dripping with ink and scanned it quickly.

"I was wondering what it was, so it turns out your investigation results have come down. You... um?"

Seeming to have seen something incredible, the red-haired Director's eyelids twitched violently first, then her brow furrowed subconsciously.

"Leon..."

After reading this form at a glance and letting her gaze linger on evaluations like "Suspicious!", "Dangerous!", "Crazy!", etc., for a while, the red-haired Director took a deep breath and notified him with an ugly expression:

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