I! Cleaner!

Take it down.

After hearing the female reporter's words, Leon couldn't help but curl up his lips secretly, and then continued to maintain a sad expression, and asked coldly:

"Then let me ask you, why did Director Aquarius break into Joshua's dream a few nights ago? What did he want to do?"

"He wanted to protect the capital."

Oh, so he wanted to destroy...ah?

"It's true."

Looking at Leon's somewhat stunned expression, the female reporter couldn't help but speak:

"Before the Nightmare King descended, the director asked me to take the [Dream Lantern] and collect 300,000 dreams about the capital to create a dream capital that was indistinguishable from the real thing.

If you really can't stop the Nightmare King and let it descend successfully, then the director will smash the [Dream Lantern] and let the dreams about the capital inside run out in one breath.

In this way, even if the Nightmare King descends, he will be trapped by the 300,000 dreams and will never reach the real capital. When the Blood Hair Princess is free, she can enter the dream capital and kill the Nightmare King directly."

"..."

She actually told the truth...

Looking at the soul state of the female reporter and finding that she was not lying, Leon couldn't help but frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Apart from other things, if Aquarius had not spread false information and transferred the people of the Virgin Branch, resulting in the failure to clear the base of the Nightmare Black Cult in time, the Soul-Fallen Black Abyss would not have been able to descend, and the Nightmare King would not have entered reality.

Therefore, it can be said that the Nightmare King's arrival was caused by Director Aquarius, but why did he help the Nightmare King to descend on the one hand, and help the Virgin Branch to protect the capital on the other hand? Could it be that...

"Is there any conflict between Director Aquarius and the Nightmare King?"

"Yes..."

Seeing that Leon had guessed some of the truth after just a little thought, the female reporter couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and then nodded and admitted:

"In order to recover to the best state, the director directly released his soul and let the Nightmare King plant a mark in it, so if the Nightmare King was not killed, he could directly control or even enslave him."

No wonder...

After listening to the female reporter's words, Leon's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of understanding.

Rather than saying that Director Aquarius wants to protect the capital, it is better to say that he wants the Nightmare King to die.

After all, even if the Nightmare King succeeds in coming, he will probably not be able to kill the director, but he will be enslaved by the Nightmare King. In this comparison, for Director Aquarius, it is definitely more important to kill the Nightmare King.

"Haha, even if he wants to protect the capital."

Hearing the female reporter's words, she still has a lot of protection for Director Aquarius, but Leon doesn't really have any blood feud with Director Aquarius, so he didn't dwell on it, but continued to ask:

"I just heard you call him Director, then go on, what is the current situation of the Gemini Branch? What about the Korok Kingdom?"

"The Gemini Branch... has basically stopped."

After looking up at Leon, the female reporter said hesitantly:

"Many years ago, the Korok Kingdom created a machine that can think, but the machine named Atifi 01 was not very smart and could only take on some relatively basic tasks. , but it is far superior to humans in basic work.

So the scholars of the Kingdom of Korok transformed the kingdom's factories and public facilities, connected Atifi 01 to them, and used them to replace low-end human labor, so that more people can be liberated from basic labor and invest in the research and development of new technologies.

At the beginning, it was just some basic production work such as planting and manufacturing. Later, travel, construction, defense, auditing and other work were also handed over to Atifi 01 to do..."

"There is no rush to talk about these."

Lyon, who had already learned about the outbreak of the intelligent machine crisis in the Kingdom of Korok from Atifi 128 seized from the airship, interrupted the female reporter and said:

" I want to know what's going on with the Twin Branches of the Cleanup Bureau, and what's happening to the people of the Korok Kingdom."

"The Twin Branches have been controlled, and all cleaners have undergone implantation surgery and must obey the orders of Atifi 01."

The female reporter bit her lower lip and said:

"After Atifi 01 took control of some key facilities, it completely blocked those places and began to clean up those who had the authority to stop it. Then the Twin Branches noticed something was wrong and were about to destroy it, but it was sunk underground and buried in advance."

"Sunk underground?"

"Hmm..."

The female reporter explained:

"The buildings in the core area of ​​the Korok Kingdom are all separate honeycomb-shaped areas. Blocks can be connected to each other by sliding grooves and docking rails, or by adjusting the number of floating crystals at the bottom to move up and down to a certain extent.

And Atifi 01 seemed to know the existence of the Cleanup Bureau, and had modified several nearby blocks in advance in the name of component repair and replacement of mechanisms, so the Twin Branch was directly sunk and closed before it started. "

"Then can't you fight it out?"

"No one who can fight it out is here."

The female reporter said helplessly:

"Atifi 01 has no soul, and does not rely on the soul to store memory. The [Illusion Can] that can modify memory is ineffective for it, so its records probably contain the information of most of the cleaners in the Twin Branch.

And those cleaners who had outstanding destructive power and were able to break the blockade were transferred away by the 'abnormal information' compiled by it in advance and went out to clean up the abnormal objects, leaving behind only the cleaners who were not very destructive.

The people who stayed can't be said to be weak, but they are only good at dealing with flesh and blood creatures, or soul memories. Facing a solid wall with a thickness of more than 20 meters, there is really nothing they can do.

Although the director was capable of solving the problem, he only talked to Atifi 01 once, but in the end he did not take action. Instead, he went back to the bureau to get some things, and then took me out of the Kingdom of Korok. "

"..."

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and Aquarius has ulterior motives, so you really did not lose unfairly.

After keeping the situation of the Twin Branches in mind and preparing to report to the director later, Leon continued to ask:

"What about ordinary people? After being taken over by Atifei 01, how are the people of the Kingdom of Korok doing?"

"They...are not bad?"

The female reporter hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said with some uncertainty:

"I went back last year. Everything there is now controlled by Atifi 01. It's better than when it was controlled by people. The food is free, and even the poor and beggars are raised.

Except that the original scholars have been forcibly recruited and ordinary people have almost no jobs and need to take some tests regularly, most people seem to be much better off than before. "

"..."
