It came for me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had no evidence to prove his suspicion, upon noticing the gaunt face subtly aimed at him and the abyss receding deeper within the King of Nightmares’ eye sockets, Li Ang instinctively knew—its target was unquestionably him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much longer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the approaching danger, Li Ang drew a deep breath and urged sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up! Tell me now! How much longer until you pull him out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Li Ang’s question, the snow woman forced to sell herself glared at him, then clenched her thin lips tightly, refusing to speak a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though you have my body, you will never have my heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! The Unfair Snake Pact can only make her work and activate her anomaly’s abilities—but it cannot fully dominate her will, forcing her to obey every command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the snow woman stubbornly refusing to cooperate, Li Ang took another deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began desperately analyzing the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scorpion Director won’t emerge anytime soon, but the King of Nightmares will break free in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I stay in reality, even if I use the Immortal in the Wine to survive, I can’t stop it from spreading nightmares among the sleeping innocents—and I might even be forcibly dragged into the Dream Realm, eternally enslaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Immortal in the Wine has limited duration, and it only guarantees I won’t be harmed—it doesn’t necessarily shield me from indirect methods like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there’s only one path left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop looking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slapping the snow woman’s occiput, Li Ang used physical contact to override his previous command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Open the path to the Nightmare. Send me in first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey! Isn’t this what you want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Scorpion Director’s stunned gaze, Li Ang stood at the edge of the passage to the Sixth Nightmare, pulled out the bottle he’d given him—filled with the remaining Dream-Eating Armor—and waved it toward the gray mist in the night sky, shouting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want it, follow me in! The mother worm of the Dream-Eating Armor is inside the Dream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried his judgment might be wrong—that his priority in the King of Nightmares’ mind wasn’t as high as he thought—Li Ang decisively raised the stakes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hurry. Once you fully manifest, if you linger outside for even a second, I’ll run immediately, making you never find me again—and every day I’ll toss a batch of child worms into the Dream Realm, then tell every other master of the Dream Realm: this is all because of you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you ever fail to eradicate them completely, these worms will multiply infinitely and devour half the Dream Realm in one bite. Can I do it? Go ahead, test me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After issuing the provocation, beneath the King of Nightmares’ hollow gaze, Li Ang seized the unwilling snow woman and leapt down into the passage to the Sixth Nightmare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually thought of this… this kid is a born cleaner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Ang, holding the bottle of Dream-Eating Armor, directly threaten the King of Nightmares, then leap into the Sixth Nightmare as bait, the Scorpion Director’s dog face broke into a deep look of approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, I only valued his talent and potential, barely stirred a hint of admiration—but now, it’s total appreciation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when the original plan collapsed, he remained calm and rational; even when trapped in a dead end, he refused to give up, relentlessly seeking a way out; he swiftly analyzed the situation, weighed pros and cons, and found what might be the only solution—beyond these rare qualities, more importantly, he dared to provoke a true god, even offered himself as bait to lure it into a trap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that his absurdly powerful anomaly and his outstanding potential—on the verge of ascending to Level Two in just two months—and not a single cleaner in the entire Scorpion Branch could match him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rare! Damn rare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using the dog’s mind to think for 0.0001 seconds, the Scorpion Director made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To hell with Olivia! That drunken bastard doesn’t deserve to kowtow to me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping this talent in the Virgin Branch is like pouring gold into dog shit—what a waste! Better to swap conditions: after everything’s over, I’ll demand he be transferred to me from Olivia!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… calling him perfect might be inaccurate—he’s outstanding, but still has a few flaws… for instance, he’s not meticulous enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the passage close completely before he even entered, the Scorpion Director, inhabiting the dog, burst into furious barking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woof woof woof! You just go in yourself? Don’t you think to bring me along too?! Woof woof woof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glug glug glug… pah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spitting out the salty seawater he’d accidentally swallowed, the Swamp King Snake shuddered, then suddenly opened its eyes, its face twisted in terror as it thrust its head out of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell… is this guy insane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up at the upper dream layer, shattered and cracked, its tail half-chopped off by some weapon, its body still not fully regenerated, the Swamp King Snake glared resentfully at the others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before we took this mission, wasn’t that damn Water Bearer director supposed to say that if we made the target realize escaping would cost too much, he’d give up struggling and let us trap him? Why is he fighting to the death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Swamp King Snake’s complaint, the other four nightmare entities who had revived it also vented their grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You believed his lies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damned humans—all of them, every last one, are liars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burned through my desert three times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting its massive body, covered in crimson blisters, the Sand Dune Worm opened its ringed, tooth-filled mouth and muttered, still shaken:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, I thought hiding deep in the sand was safe—but he set fire, turned over a hundred meters of sand into glass, and roasted me alive inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My situation was similar…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising its massive whale fin, the Green Tide Sea Monster pointed to a stretch of black, grotesque rocks and sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, he summoned magma from the ocean floor, burned a whole island into existence, and boiled me alive… What about you? How was your dream?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Green Tide Sea Monster’s question, the Tree-Skin Giant, half his body blackened, his chest and below carbonized, let out a bitter laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the Face of the Forest Spirit! A forest spirit! Meeting a fire-wielder? That’s just being turned into firewood! My Misty Forest? Now it’s the Misty Firepit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing his “colleagues” complain, the Plague Girl, her belly pierced with six short swords and her body scarred, sighed wearily, eyes filled with regret:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’d known it’d be this bad, I should’ve swapped with the snow woman—her mission was easier… a Level Three cleaner who just joined the Cleaners Bureau? She should’ve handled him easily, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1199,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6a6430acf35b402f0e2b4e8e2f631c1283d5730d295258f297565ac714bb9db6","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-806","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-804",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
