I plan to have him spin the Material Wheel to find one. As for the higher tiers—the Life Wheel and Fate Wheel—we swear we won’t touch them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the basic Material Wheel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the Red-haired Woman’s assurance, the Taurus Director’s demeanor relaxed slightly, but after glancing at Lyon, she still murmured uneasily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you two… sorry, this might sound harsh, but you both carry personal regrets. If I handed over the Prayer Wheel entirely, I doubt your willpower could resist using it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re underestimating me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Red-haired Woman protested indignantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lyon’s will might be weak, but I’m the Director of the Zodiac Branch—what haven’t I been through? Even a true god of the soul couldn’t shake my resolve—I’m rock-solid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please. True gods can’t shake your will—but a good bottle of wine might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Red-haired Woman’s confident expression, the Taurus Director’s lips twitched. She couldn’t help but glance at the woman’s mouth, then quickly glanced at Lyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing where the Taurus Director’s gaze had landed, Lyon’s heart sank—he realized she was remembering the day the director celebrated her birthday, trying to bypass the Taurus Director’s verbal spell with her tongue… uh… and ended up swallowing a mouthful of chili oil. He could only offer her an awkward, sheepish smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never mind…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering Lyon and the Red-haired Woman’s reputation as drunken troublemakers, the Taurus Director, who had just been slightly tempted, instantly crushed any thought of trusting them again, and refused outright:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The [Prayer Wheel] won’t be given to you. Its stakes are too high, and the Bureau is stretched thin right now—if you two mess up, no one will be left to clean up after you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for Lyon’s anomaly… I haven’t yet discussed the Krook Kingdom investigation with the Sagittarius Director. The decision will take time. Wait a while—I’ll see if I can find a suitable anomaly… That’s all. I have other matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried the Red-haired Woman would continue to pester her, the Taurus Director immediately shut off the [Celestial Mirror] and forcibly terminated the communication before the woman could protest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad… I almost convinced her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her scheming fail, the Red-haired Woman sighed in disappointment, then, before Lyon could ask, explained directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The [Prayer Wheel] I wanted to borrow for you is Anomaly No. 005—one of the Bureau’s most vital trump cards… Simply put, it’s a universal wish machine, capable of fulfilling nearly any desire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A universal wish machine? The Bureau actually has something like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyon’s eyebrows shot up in curiosity as he pressed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, can the [Prayer Wheel] really fulfill any wish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It fulfills nearly all wishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correcting Lyon’s phrasing, the Red-haired Woman explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strictly speaking, the [Prayer Wheel] doesn’t directly grant your wish—it tells you precisely what steps to take to achieve it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Theoretically, no matter how absurd the wish, as long as there’s even a sliver of possibility, spinning the [Prayer Wheel] will reveal the exact path to fulfillment—and following it guarantees success.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn. Even if it doesn’t grant wishes directly, just giving the correct answer to anything is already a massive exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering its implications, Lyon muttered in awe:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s essentially a natural ‘Omniscient One’—and answers everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red-haired Woman shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want a suitable anomaly, focus on that thought and spin the outermost Material Wheel—it’ll reveal its location. If you want to become a king, spin the Life Wheel and ask how to become one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, your wish or question must be specific and fall within the scope of its seventeen wheels—only then will the Prayer Wheel respond.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still incredibly impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyon couldn’t help but exclaim:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget everything else—just the fact that it always gives the correct answer makes it invaluable… By the way, Director, if it’s this powerful, why doesn’t the Bureau use it more? Why lock it away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About that, when I first learned of the [Prayer Wheel]’s existence, I asked the Taurus Director the same thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning as she recalled, the Red-haired Woman answered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She told me then that its ‘correctness’ is relative—and even if every step is ‘correct,’ it doesn’t guarantee the best outcome. Overreliance on it is dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me put it this way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>oo￠o\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After organizing her thoughts, the Red-haired Woman spoke hesitantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suppose you went back to when the Bureau was first founded, constantly harassed by Outer Gods, and asked the [Prayer Wheel] how to protect humanity. It would tell you to build a [Watchtower Palace].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the [Watchtower Palace], all true god-level entities would be barred from the mortal realm, securing human safety—but at the cost of the Bureau’s overall strength gradually declining.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At its peak, the twelve Directors, even without Star Palace enhancements, possessed Pillar God-level power, driving Outer Gods into flight—just hearing the Bureau’s name made them tremble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with the [Watchtower Palace]’s protection, anomalies became exceedingly rare, battles with Outer Gods plummeted, and the new generation faced too much peace—growth slowed drastically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the older generation passed away, if successors were so weak they couldn’t produce even one Pillar God, let alone a few true gods, and the [Watchtower Palace] suffered even a single flaw—once a Pillar God descended into the mortal realm, humanity would be annihilated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lyon fall silent, frowning in thought beside her, the Red-haired Woman sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Returning to the [Prayer Wheel]—its answer did fulfill your wish to protect humanity, but the very act of protection might cause humanity, which could have thrived normally, to face premature extinction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So while the [Prayer Wheel] is always correct, and your wish will always be granted, the final outcome may not be what you truly want—that’s why it’s been locked away.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","462c18503746f08d270e8d5dd3712e1bd3d3a7f258c9911f9ae7113a21fb6567","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-880","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-878",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
