Chapter 85: 84 Truth and Promotion

84 Truth and Promotion

"You guessed right, that young man with a crying face should indeed be a director."

After listening to Hearing Li Ang's relay of the situation, the red-haired Director thought for a moment and explained:

"Because I thought it was unlikely you would meet other directors, I haven't told you about this yet. If you want to become a director of the Cleaning Bureau, besides having enough strength, you also need the aptitude to master corresponding secret arts.

The Jin Juan Director who came to deliver the anomalous object earlier mastered secret arts related to forging, which can break through the limitations of materials and produce anomalous objects of super-level. The Water Bottle Director, who holds the secret arts, is said to be able to directly create anomalies under some conditions.

So if I'm not mistaken, the one the old couple at Wang Gong Apartment met should be the Water Bottle Director of this generation... calculating the age, it could also be the Water Bottle Director of the previous generation."

It really is a director of the Cleaning Bureau!

After verifying his conjecture with the red-haired Director, considering her attitude of extreme respect for the other Jin Juan Director, Hearing Li Ang, who didn't know much about the situation, hesitated slightly and asked as tactfully as possible:

"Director, can I ask, what is the 'reputation' of that Water Bottle Director usually like?"

After looking into Hearing Li Ang's eyes, the red-haired Director immediately understood what he meant, her brow furrowed slightly, and she asked back:

"Do you think... in the matter of creating Wang Gong Apartment, the Water Bottle Director might have ulterior motives?"

"I do have a little suspicion. I think the Water Bottle Director's behavior doesn't conform to logic."

Seeing that she wasn't angry because he "offended" a director, Hearing Li Ang directly admitted his suspicion and reminded her with a rather serious expression:

"Let's assume, if he were a person who likes to 'meddle in other people's business' and acted out of pity, after learning about the old couple's encounter, he should have helped pass the poorhouse application, right? This kind of thing is not difficult for a director, is it?"

Of course, it doesn't exclude that he is a relatively rigid personality, attaches great importance to the Cleaning Bureau's regulations, will not take action against ordinary people unless necessary, and will not use the Cleaning Bureau's privileges at will. But if he is such a person, why didn't he report it according to the regulations after creating the anomaly?"

After finishing his judgment basis, looking at the red-haired Director whose brow was furrowing deeper and deeper, Hearing Li Ang paused slightly, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and continued:

"Also, I think his act of putting the old couple's souls into the apartment is the most suspicious.

When the old couple died, their hearts were likely already full of resentment. Their souls were put into the apartment, and they watched the people in the poorhouse being driven away, freezing and starving to death because of the municipal office's inaction. This resentment will likely go to the next level.

With such heavy hatred in their hearts, the Water Bottle Director gave them the possibility of becoming anomalies. After anger and resentment reach the extreme, they will likely 'awaken' into anomalies and find the 'enemy' to slaughter them wantonly.

Plus, what caused all this is not just the behavior of a certain person, but the universal indifference and dereliction of duty of the entire collective. Their slaughter range will easily expand infinitely, accumulating and absorbing more dangerous concepts until they completely lose control!"

"You are right, this matter does have this possibility, but it is very difficult to prove that the Water Bottle Director has a problem based on this alone."

Nodding in recognition of Hearing Li Ang's judgment, the red-haired Director pondered deeply:

"Although I think your judgment makes a lot of sense, not to mention anything else, just the fact that the old couple finally became positive anomalous objects is enough for him to defend himself."

"The result of the old couple should be an accident."

Recalling the manager auntie's words, Hearing Li Ang said softly with a complex look in his eyes:

"When that Water Bottle Director decided to 'create' the anomaly, he likely only considered the evil of human nature.

Although he noticed the anger and hatred of the old couple, he might not have noticed that they were not angry because of their own encounters, but were in pain because of the pain of others.

Even they themselves were not extreme and crazy personalities. Even if they had huge hatred because of unfair encounters, the background color of their souls was still kind."

"As for the subsequent development, it should also be different from what he designed. He likely didn't expect that the old couple's kindness day after day for decades would also be exchanged for the gratitude and thoughts of the people who received help.

Those hundred-plus people who died smiling near Wang Gong Apartment, and more people who felt happy because they were 'still there'.

The longing and blessings of these people gathered together, not only diluted the hatred in the old couple's souls but also became a high wall blocking them from the abyss, preventing them from being completely swallowed by hatred."

"I'm afraid that's really the case..."

Nodding in recognition of Hearing Li Ang's judgment, the red-haired Director said with some emotion:

"Part of it is anger and hatred for evil, and the other part is pity and blessings for the weak? These two emotions correspond exactly to evil object extermination and accidental avoidance. No wonder the two abilities of that Wang Gong Apartment are so different, and they have almost no connection. It turns out that these two seemingly unrelated abilities have different causes. This is really... sigh..."

Shaking her head and sighing along with him, the red-haired Director slowly sat up straight and praised him earnestly:

"Hearing Li Ang, you did a great job!"

"I originally thought that apartment was a bit strange, but because there were no injury records except for you, and the strength was not very high, I didn't continue to dig deeper.

If you hadn't been extra careful and asked about these things, what the Water Bottle Director did would have been covered up!"

And after finishing these words full of praise, the red-haired Director's expression gradually became serious.

"As for the Water Bottle Director's problem, we need to wait a little longer.

The real identities of Water Bottle and Director Jin Juan are almost confidential, and they won't even reveal whether they have changed people. I can't determine whether he and the current Water Bottle Director are the same person.

But I will find a way to pull a few directors together to talk to the directors I am familiar with and strive to launch an investigation into him immediately! If after the investigation, it is found that he really has a problem... then there will be an explanation for this matter!"

Although the red-haired Director didn't say what the explanation was, looking at the chill in those slightly narrowed fox eyes that made people's backs feel cold, the answer was self-evident.

Really... didn't expect that drunkard to have such an overbearing side...

"You have a plan, that's good."

After looking at the red-haired Director with half surprise and half appreciation, Hearing Li Ang nodded slightly and said goodbye:

"I just thought this matter was very strange, so I came to report to you. Then if there is nothing else, I will first..."

"Don't go yet, there is still something."

After calling Hearing Li Ang, who wanted to leave, and looking at his speechless expression, the red-haired Director curled her lips mischievously, then took a letter out of the drawer, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

"Here, that witch has written back to you. As long as you read this letter, the Witch's Broom can be reactivated, and the task of infiltrating the Laien family can continue."

As long as I read this letter, it will be fine?

Looking at the strange red envelope tightly tied with a wide binding strap on the table, Hearing Li Ang didn't dare to reach out for a while and looked at the red-haired Director hesitantly.

"Director, if I open this letter, will it turn into a mouth and roar at me crazily?"

"Hmm?"

After looking at Hearing Li Ang in surprise, the red-haired Director asked curiously:

"How do you know? Could it be that you have met other witches and were sent a roar letter by her?"

"..."

So it actually really is?!

"No... I haven't seen a witch in my life..."

Picking up the envelope speechlessly, Hearing Li Ang bit the bullet and opened the letter while casually fooling her:

"I just read a book about wizards. The author wrote in it that wizards will send letters that can shout loudly when they are angry... Holy crap!"
