Chapter 622: The Real Inquiry (Part 2)

~10 min read 1,911 words

Actually able to steal all the way to the God of Enlightenment through Stealing Luck's Wonderful Hand... If I had known this, I really should have left Nathan a few more anomalous objects for self-preservation.

Looking at the "old friend" who had dedicated fifteen generations to his lineage, Director Aquarius couldn't help but shake his head, then directly ignored Leon and Jie Rui, turned to look up at the Cleanup Bureau Director, and said sincerely:

"Director, the God of Enlightenment has been imprisoned by our Aquarius lineage for two thousand years, and I alone have extracted its flesh and true spirit thousands of times.

No matter what kind of deep hatred, I'm afraid it can't compare to one ten-thousandth of its hatred for me. Do you really want to suspect a Director who has served in the Bureau for nearly a hundred years because of the one-sided words of such an outer god?"

"Sorry, this is not a question of whether I believe it or not."

After the light purple eyes flickered twice, the Cleanup Bureau Director replied calmly:

"Unlike the private manufacturing of anomalies just now, since this matter involves the safety of the Watchtower, there is no room for negotiation.

Whether it is you or other Directors, or even me, the Director, as long as there is an accusation and the accuser produces certain evidence, one must prove oneself immediately.

If you cannot prove your innocence, you need to accept memory reading directly... Director Aquarius, do you have anything else to argue about this accusation?"

"No."

After looking at Leon beside the Cleanup Bureau Director, Director Aquarius said calmly:

"Bring the God-level brain-eating demon over. I choose to accept memory reading directly... In addition, I am curious, why is the Virgo Branch so concerned about me?

Not only did they connect with six branch Directors to initiate an inquiry against me, a Director, but they even risked releasing the imprisoned evil god to forcibly contact this material used to perform the secret art of anomalous genesis..."

"I am the God of Enlightenment! You damn human is the material! As long as you let me out..."

Crossing his ten fingers and pressing slightly, not knowing what method he used to make the God of Enlightenment shut up, Director Aquarius looked at the red-haired Director from afar, his eyes full of deep meaning:

"Olivia, if after undergoing memory reading, it is confirmed that I did nothing, can I ask you to undergo it once too? And besides you..."

"On what grounds?"

Hearing Director Aquarius's words, before he could finish speaking, Leo Branch Director Beverly couldn't help but stand up and rebuke angrily:

"These two inquiries today, even if they weren't done by you, you can't get rid of the relationship. The second one involves the Watchtower, and Olivia has no suspicious behavior at all. On what grounds should she be memory-read?"

"If you talk about suspicious behavior, she has indeed done it, and more than once."

After glancing at Beverly, Director Aquarius said expressionlessly:

"The Baohua family, who tried to subvert the royal family, should have been executed according to the Kingdom's laws, but Emma Alman, who did not meet the standards, was taken into the Virgo Branch by her, condoning her private planning for revenge, and covering for her several times.

In addition, last month she took Leon Laien, who also did not meet the Cleanup Bureau's employment standards but had the right to inherit a title, into the Virgo Branch, and dispatched him to the Laien Manor to execute an investigation mission.

The result of that investigation mission was the event known as the Laien Blood Night. The middle and high levels of the Lionheart family were almost all dead, the Duke title had no successor, and under a series of coincidences, it was taken by this third-level cleanup agent she broke the rules to hire."

When he reached this point, Director Aquarius paused slightly, then added with deep meaning in the thoughtful gazes of the branch Directors:

"In addition, the Virgo Branch Level 1 Disaster Cleanup Agent, Tang Mu Laienus, who has a record of single-handedly expelling a True God, briefly disappeared from the General Bureau's monitoring after completing the cleanup mission for the Blood Pine Ridge anomalous event.

And Tang Mu Laienus's strongest anomalous ability happens to be a pair of dice that can create coincidences, making all impossible things have a 60% possibility. And the time he left the General Bureau's monitoring coincides exactly with the time Leon Laien obtained the Duke title."

After finishing these words, looking at the red-haired Director who was frowning, Director Aquarius continued:

"Previously, these problems were discovered when I was pursuing my replica. In recent years, my replica has frequently appeared in the Wang Capital, cultivating a force called the rebels, trying to completely subvert the royal family, and you are suspected of deliberately gathering the heirs of the old nobles.

Therefore, I have reason to suspect that you have had contact with my replica and obtained some benefits from him, or simply reached some extremely dangerous cooperation, which is why you are so determined to initiate an inquiry against me, and can produce evidence that makes me hard to refute every time."

In the gaze of the Cleanup Bureau Director that suddenly became sharp, Director Aquarius said leisurely:

"Olivia, do the suspicious points I raised satisfy the request for you to accept memory reading together?"

"……"

……

Strange... Why did Director Aquarius bring these up? Is he "struggling before death", or does he really have some trump card and is sure he can survive the memory reading?

Glancing in the direction of the Cleanup Bureau Director and noticing the change in the Director's expression, the red-haired Director couldn't help but rub her furrowed brow. Although she didn't know Aquarius's plan yet, she could only nod slightly and agree:

"Okay, I agree to accept memory reading.

However, the order must be behind you. If it can be proven that there is no replica, or that you are really plotting against the Watchtower, then my memory reading must be cancelled!"

"Not just you, the one who needs to be memory-read is also this third-level accident cleanup agent."

After pointing in Leon's direction, looking at this troublesome guy who had been ignored by him in the past but had captured Nathan in two days and sent key evidence in time, Director Aquarius smiled:

"Considering his close relationship with you, if I am proven to have no problems, then he must also accept memory reading."

"I object, this matter has nothing to do with Leon!" The red-haired Director's expression tightened upon hearing this, and she opposed:

"He has only joined the Virgo Branch for a month. If he really needs to be memory-read, I am enough.

In addition, except for the Laien Blood Night, Leon has been dutiful in every mission he performed and completed them quite excellently, and even has a record of killing a Holy Spirit.

And being memory-read by a God-level brain-eating demon is equivalent to accepting a True God-level forced infection, which will definitely affect the stability of his spirit. For a cleanup agent with such huge potential, it is undoubtedly a..."

"His spirit doesn't need infection, it's already very unstable."

Interrupting the red-haired Director, Director Aquarius said indifferently:

"I have carefully read his file. After the Laien Blood Night, the two investigators sent by the General Bureau had a very interesting evaluation of him.

They unanimously believe that this third-level cleanup agent is extremely dangerous, has stubborn concepts that are almost crazy, and hides many dangerous secrets in his heart, suggesting that the General Bureau conduct close monitoring.

In addition, in order to find evidence to topple me, he also had contact with the God of Enlightenment, and there is a possibility of being controlled or even parasitized by the God of Enlightenment. Accepting memory reading with you might also be considered a protection for him..."

Protect your mother!

Looking at the huge cage drilling out from under the center of the venue, and the brain-eating demon in the cage that looked more disgusting than a lamprey, Leon's scalp couldn't help but tingle at the thought of having to be licked by this thing with its tongue.

If this can be called protection, I wish you to be protected by the Cleanup Bureau for a lifetime!

……

What's even more unlucky is that even though the red-haired Director argued repeatedly, after hearing Director Aquarius's proposal, the Cleanup Bureau Director still showed a look of being moved, especially when hearing that Leon had the possibility of being controlled by the God of Enlightenment, he narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

On one side is the possibility of the God of Enlightenment escaping, and on the other is a "supposedly" third-level cleanup agent with excellent potential. For a Director who hopes that the Cleanup Bureau is as stable as possible, the significance of these two cannot be compared at all.

If the person who opposed it was not Olivia, who possessed two numbered anomalous objects and whose combat power was also in the forefront among the Directors, but other branch Directors, he might have already made a decision directly.

"Taurus!"

Seeing that the Cleanup Bureau Director seemed to have been persuaded, the red-haired Director had no choice but to look at the somewhat hesitant Taurus Director and try to seek help:

"You have seen Leon, and even personally forged anomalous objects for him. You should know his potential, and accepting the infection of a True God-level existence so early will definitely hurt his spirit. If he really needs to accept memory reading, I am enough!"

"Indeed..."

After the Taurus Director hesitated for a while, she nodded:

"That child's potential is quite excellent, and his personality is steady and his brain is smart. In the future, he will mostly be able to become a first-level cleanup agent, or even take over the position of a branch Director and become a force to protect humanity. It would be a pity to accept memory reading early.

Not to mention anything else, after suffering the pollution of a True God-level demon, the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 I forged for him will inevitably be affected, and the effect will likely be reduced by more than half. This is equivalent to cutting off his future in advance."

"Even if his future is cut off in advance, so what?"

After the Taurus Director finished speaking, Director Aquarius's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he said indifferently:

"Taurus, on one side is the risk of the God of Enlightenment escaping, and on the other is just a third-level cleanup agent whose potential has not yet been realized. I don't think there is anything comparable."

"But..."

"Alright, stop talking."

After his figure twisted slightly, the Cleanup Bureau Director said with a somewhat slow speed:

"The time flow here has begun to slow down, and the time I can contact you is running out. And the most important thing right now is the safety of the Watchtower, so I will make the decision directly.

Next, Director Aquarius will accept memory reading first. If there is a problem, it goes without saying. If there is no problem after reading, then Olivia must accept reading.

And if Olivia accepts reading and there is no problem, then this cleanup agent named Leon can be exempted from memory reading... Director Aquarius, please!"
