Chapter 681: Two-person mission

Sun Newspaper: "Shocking, Central Cross Theater Attacked, Over Three Thousand Audience Members Fainted on the Spot!"

Financial Times: "Charle Department Store Compensation Completed, but Grand Sale Still Not Stopped, Multiple Department Stores Severely Affected"

Dance & Entertainment News: "Sad News, Master Wang Erde Missing, Suspected to Have Been Kidnapped by Unknown Assailants"

Political Arena Observations: "Rebel Faction Splits, Moderate Faction Abandons Attacks, Will Establish New Labor Party in Old City District"

Royal Post: "After Princess's Engagement, Old Nobles Collectively Lean Toward Prince, Where Will the Future of the Robins Go?"

"Hmm..."

After flipping through the newspapers and magazines that had just been delivered in the morning, the Red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but blink in surprise, feeling that these headlines read a bit strangely, though she didn't know exactly what was strange about them.

After flipping through them twice, she finally reacted to why she felt these headlines were not quite right...

Because of Li Ang!

In this pile of periodicals, although not a single one mentioned Li Ang's name, whether it was the theater incident, the compensation from Charle Department Store, the movements of the rebels, or the internal strife of the royal family, they all seemed inseparable from him.

He really is capable of causing trouble.

After shaking her head speechlessly, the Red-haired Bureau Chief flipped through the newspaper listlessly while extending her fair, slender fingers to subconsciously curl the ends of her bright red hair, frowning and pondering.

The situation two days ago when Li Ang drank too much truly gave her a fright.

Although she didn't know what anomalous object the "Wine Immortal" Li Ang spoke of was, being able to resist part of the effects of 【Slaughter Blood Hair】 at the level of a Level 3 cleaner meant this anomalous object, which was highly likely related to alcohol, probably had the potential to be a numbered-level object, and its effect in terms of self-preservation was surprisingly strong.

So... since the bureau is short-handed, should she add more to his burden?

"Knock, knock-knock"

Just as the Red-haired Bureau Chief put down the newspaper and began rummaging through the drawer, the office door was knocked.

"Bureau Chief, it's me."

Peioni?

Upon hearing the voice outside the door, the Red-haired Bureau Chief's eyebrows lifted slightly, and she responded:

"Come in."

As the Red-haired Bureau Chief's voice fell, a blurry, bright silver figure "seeped" in eerily from outside the office door and walked slowly to the desk.

"This is the cleanup report for this mission."

Placing several folded sheets of paper on the table, the "Little Silver Man" reported with a gentle expression:

"The mission process was very smooth. The well leading to the Black Plague Tide has been blocked, there were no casualties among the townspeople, and the memories of relevant personnel have been cleared by the 【Illusion Can】. No one remembers the magic monsters that would spread the plague."

"Truly excellent."

After simply flipping through the 【Black Plague Well Incident Cleanup Report】 on the table, the Red-haired Bureau Chief nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile:

"As swift and capable as in the past. It is indeed you, Peioni. In the bureau, besides Emma and Leon, you are the one who puts me most at ease." Emma and Leon?

Upon hearing the Red-haired Bureau Chief's words, the Little Silver Man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then asked with a smile:

"Bureau Chief, the Li Ang you mentioned, is that the Level 3 cleaner who joined the branch bureau less than two months ago? Since he can be praised so sincerely by you, is his strength very strong?"

"Hmm... if I have to say, he's passable?"

After taking stock of the anomalous objects Li Ang possessed in her mind, the Red-haired Bureau Chief said with some uncertainty:

"If we talk about Li Ang's value... that is, the degree to which he has been infected by anomalous objects, he is about the same as a Level 3 cleaner who has been on the job for two or three years. Compared to you guys, he is still far behind.

But his mind is very clear, and his methods are very rich. It feels like no matter what situation he encounters, after tossing around for a bit, he can complete the mission, and even over-complete it... Hmm... In short, most of the time, he gives people a feeling of being very reliable."

After giving Li Ang an evaluation that could be said to be quite high, the Red-haired Bureau Chief glanced at the thoughtful "Little Silver Man" and then said with a smile:

"Peioni, how about it? Are you interested in getting to know Leon, and then asking him to take a stroll around your 'place of sorrow' to see if he can solve the problem you have?"

"This... let's forget it."

The person, whose whole body emitted a faint silver light and whose face could not be seen clearly, gave a bitter smile and shook his head:

"Bureau Chief, it's not that I don't trust your judgment, but no matter how outstanding he is, he is only a Level 3 cleaner who just joined the branch bureau not long ago. And the matter at the Meibisi Silver Mine is something even you and Miss Emma cannot solve. What can he do?

Besides, you also know that every time I return to the Meibisi Silver Mine, it is equivalent to letting me... sigh! If there is no absolute certainty, I really don't want to go there again. I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter. I just suddenly thought of him, so I recommended him casually. Whether you want to ask him for help, you decide for yourself."

The Red-haired Bureau Chief, who had been rejected, was not annoyed but said with a smile:

"However, Peioni, don't look down on Leon because of his seniority. If it weren't for him, I really might not have been able to topple the Water Bottle Director. The secrets on little Leon are probably more than yours.

So I still suggest that if you have no other way, you might as well take him to the silver mine to have a look. After all, if Li Ang doesn't succeed, you will only suffer a bit, but if he succeeds, you will be relaxed in the future."

"I... I will think about it again."

"No rush, take your time to consider."

The Red-haired Bureau Chief, while speaking, flipped through the pile of newspapers and magazines on the table. When she saw the advertisement for "Aimi Wine Industry's Couple Wine Selling Well, Manufacturer Rewards Vast Customers, Couples Buying Together Can Get 40% Off," her gaze paused for a moment, then she folded this page of the magazine and handed over another booklet pressed underneath.

"The silver mine matter can be discussed later, but this matter is more urgent... You look at this first."

After receiving the booklet with some confusion, the "Little Silver Man" lowered his head and read the title on the title page.

"Airship Timetable... Keroke Kingdom Sniffer... VIP Cabin... Private Ship... Bureau Chief, is this my next mission?"

"It is not your next mission, but the next mission for both you and Li Ang.

Li Ang discovered some very dangerous situations. If we don't intervene a little, the kingdom will likely face an extremely tragic war in the future."

After correcting the "Little Silver Man" Peioni's statement and emphasizing the importance of this mission, the Red-haired Bureau Chief said with a serious face:

"According to my original plan, I wanted to let Auntie Ai Ma accompany him, but Auntie Ai Ma went to clear out the gathering of the Weighing Gold Sect. Jie Rui's 'friends' are not easy to use on the airship, and Tom's dice effect is unstable. So after thinking about it, you are the most suitable.

Peioni, those Keroke Kingdom sniffers will arrive at the boarding tower in three days. I want you to cooperate with Li Ang to act, change the information in the hands of those sniffers, and modify their memories by the way...

Finally, this mission can only succeed, absolutely cannot fail!"
