Thank you! Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying thanks twice, the hurried citizen took back his card and exclaimed excitedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not for you, my matter would’ve been ruined—I’m truly grateful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think nothing of it, just a small favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding to the citizen, Li Ang walked over to Alger, who had been waiting, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I checked the route: to return to the embassy, you must first pass through Research Zones 8 and 9, reach Living Zone 17, wait forty minutes for the upper and lower city blocks to swap positions, then enter the lower level and turn right onto the next street—you’ll reach Administrative Zone 3, where the embassy is located.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly surprised, Alger—nearly two meters tall—followed Li Ang straight onto the tram bound for Research Zone 8 without paying, then asked curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Li Ang, this ability that makes people overlook you—is it from some great demon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. This item is called the [Hidden Tail]. It erases your aura and lowers your presence. Against targets with significantly lower contamination levels, it can render you completely undetectable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly explaining the [Hidden Tail]’s function, Li Ang asked with mild surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Alger, how did you know it came from a great demon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because it feels similar…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of recollection, Alger said uncertainly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In our Olesong Kingdom, there’s a despised organization called the Sect of Procreation. They worship anything related to reproduction and sex, and often hold extremely… lewd gatherings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the so-called holy relics they venerate is one… uh… a jar containing the… thing… of a great demon. Its aura is very close to your anomaly—though I’m not certain, it seems to share the same origin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great demon’s thing… could it be the one Black Goat blew up back then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Li Ang learned the whereabouts of one of the Sheep Parts from Alger—his eyebrows twitched slightly as he prepared to ask further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a ram’s head suddenly burst out of Li Ang’s cufflink, eyes sparkling with delight and howling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mine! That’s definitely my whip! Li Ang! You’ve got to help me get it back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be still!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoving the sudden head of Black Goat back inside, Li Ang smiled apologetically at Alger, then asked with keen interest:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Alger, as it just said, that item must indeed be part of the same set as my anomaly. What happened to it in the end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was purified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sect of Procreation made too much noise last month—we at Scorpio Division wiped them out. All their so-called holy relics were seized by the Bureau.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After describing the fate of the Sect of Procreation, Alger recalled for a moment, then spoke with a slightly odd expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have a Level One Cleaner here nicknamed ‘The Cleansing Woman.’ All those… holy relics… were taken by her, one by one, and purified. The items weren’t destroyed, but their abilities changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… if I remember right, she turned it into an anomaly that purifies desire. If you strike someone on the head with it, all their desires vanish, leaving their mind pure for an entire day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sect of Procreation caused a lot of damage, and many victims. Before my director and I left Olesong Kingdom, she was still going around… uh… healing the believers harmed by the Sect. I estimate it’ll take another two months to save them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“AHHHH!!! How could she do that?!?!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the fate of his “brother,” Black Goat—who had just been shoved back inside—burst out again, eyes blazing with fury and roaring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s my whip! You damn bitch! I’ll kill her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shoving Black Goat back once more and instructing the pup to watch him, Li Ang said dryly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Senior Alger, if possible, after this mission, could you introduce me to her? If the Cleansing Woman is willing, I’d be happy to trade another anomaly for that item.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling awkwardly, Alger nodded in agreement, then asked curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that ram’s head just now… is the actual vessel housing the great demon’s soul?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sort of. But strictly speaking, it’s only one-seventh. This set of anomalies is unique—each piece has its own independent soul, even differing personalities…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly explaining Black Goat’s nature, Li Ang glanced up at the flashing sign above and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Alger, Living Zone 17 has arrived. We should get off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Ang’s reminder, Alger—his curiosity satisfied—stood up quickly and followed him off the tram. They found a bench by the roadside and sat down, waiting for the Kolok Kingdom’s upper-lower block swap to complete before proceeding to the embassy district to pick up the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, the little flower in Li Ang’s pocket suddenly trembled, spitting out the unconscious Princess Filia, then rapidly withered and dried—within two breaths, it was completely dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the [Hidden Tail] in Li Ang’s hand slowly transmitted a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Nico’s supply has cut off. Before it ended, she told me to tell you… run. Run now!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cd3695ba05572a17ef6594a8cb83afc06c8d251850bcc5f7790f8ffd65597fb7","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-918","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-916",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
