I! Cleaner!

"Well……"

As if he noticed something strange, the young man in aqua blue robes at the table looked down at his left hand.

At the base of the index finger of his left hand, a gold ring with a red tongue pattern embossed on it quietly opened dense holes along the tongue tip of the pattern, and then split into two halves with a snap.

Nicole...

Looking at the broken ring fragments that fell on the table, Director Aquarius couldn't help but fell silent. Looking at the name engraved on the inside of the ring, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

I remember that when I found the unconscious Nicole in the privateer ship of the Kingdom of Saio, she was just a little girl not as tall as the side of the ship. Because she looked similar to her daughter when she was a child, she took her back to the bureau. It must be almost twenty years now.

Well... Although I lived for more than a hundred years, I was sold to a trafficker when I was very young. I either didn't have much contact with other relatives or died very early. If I really want to count, the one who has been with me the longest The person, on the other hand, is Nicole, who was adopted casually, and her feelings are not as deep as usual.

Unfortunately, this rare fate may come to an end today.

After sighing deeply in his heart, Director Aquarius put away the ring fragments on the table, then raised his head and looked at the other shadows beside the table, and said with a smile:

"Sorry, something happened just now... Where were you talking about?"

"We are still talking about the previous topic."

Opposite the long table, which was made up of the bones of some unknown creature and looked very "evil villain" style, a woman wearing a black cat face mask and a pointed hat on her head said:

"It was you who said that the Blood-haired Princess would go to the Dream World in the next few days. The 'Executioner' and the 'Dice Emperor' were also held back and would not be able to come back in a short time. The Maiden Branch was almost undefended, so we agreed." Number Three' Act early.

But you have also seen the result. ‘No. 3’, who we invested a lot of resources into, was defeated by the people from the Virgin Branch before even being able to hold on for an hour... Do you have anything to say about this? "

"I have nothing to say."

After smiling at the meaningful woman opposite, the Aquarius director wearing a fox mask looked around, and then reminded him kindly:

"This operation failed to succeed. I understand that everyone is disappointed, but please don't forget that there is no problem with my intelligence. All the elites of the Virgin Branch were indeed lured away.

Although I created the opportunity for this operation and gave me the empty information about the Virgin Branch, when someone suggested taking action in advance and everyone voted on whether to activate No. 3, I was the first to vote against it. "

“One negative vote proves nothing.”

As soon as Director Aquarius finished speaking, another shadowy figure wearing a thrush mask and a somewhat erratic figure spoke:

"The information you gave alone is enough for most of us to make actionable judgments. Your vote, whether for or against, will not affect the outcome of the vote."

"So...you still doubt me?"

After taking a glance at the figure wearing the thrush mask, Director Aquarius said helplessly:

"Although my goals are not exactly the same as yours, and I have no interest in killing the Thirteen Royal Family, I have been working hard since I joined our 'King Killing Club'.

Counting the Kingdom of Korok, I have created a total of four good opportunities over the years and helped you control two of the thirteen royal families. So in terms of 'performance', it seems that I am number one? "

"You have indeed done a lot, we admit that."

After hearing what Director Aquarius said, the woman wearing a black cat mask said:

"But in order to avoid alerting the liquidation bureau in advance, we did not completely eliminate the corresponding royal family. There is still room for improvement for the liquidation bureau. In addition, the failure of this operation is really unreasonable, so you still betray us. possible.”

"Now that you say that, there's nothing I can do about it."

Director Aquarius spread his hands after hearing this, and said helplessly:

"What you are going to do is something that the vast majority of people in this world do not want to happen, so it is equivalent to fighting against the will of the world, and those who fight against the will of the world will naturally be rejected by the will of the world and fall down for no reason. It's just a mold or something, it's completely normal.

If you ask me, the reason why your operation failed is because of bad luck. If you can't accept this situation and must find a traitor from within, then just think of me as that traitor! "

"We don't have to find a traitor, but what happened this time is indeed suspicious."

After Director Aquarius finished speaking, the thrush masked figure spoke again, with a somewhat unkind voice:

"You have to know that although 'No. 3' looks inconspicuous, we made it after we hunted a demon. Countless people died trying to catch it. My injuries are not healed yet.

According to the ultimate status of 'No. 3', all people below the divine level, as long as their status is lower than it, cannot disobey its orders. As a result, when the virgin branch was empty, it was actually killed by a mere third-level cleaner. Solved alone.

Let me ask you, if it were you, would you be able to accept this outrageous result? "

"Why can't you accept it?"

Director Aquarius smiled when he heard this, then pointed to himself and said calmly:

"I have been preparing for a plan for almost ninety years, but it was also exposed by that Level 3 Cleaner you mentioned. As for how many of you died... Hehe, after he exposed it, I was targeted by the Cleanup Bureau and more than half of my people died!

If I hadn't risked eternal enslavement and opened my soul to the Nightmare King, the damage to my soul would still be incomplete, and all this is thanks to that 'just' you mentioned, so I have accepted more than once more outrageous results than this time."

"..."

"You have to know that if you lose, you have to admit it!"

Imitating the tone of the Crow Mask, after emphasizing a sentence, Director Aquarius raised his eyebrows and tapped the table with his knuckles and said:

"When I voted against it before, I had already given the reason. Although the Virgin Branch is empty, that Level 3 Cleaner The staff member was very strange. If he didn't leave the capital, your plan might not work. I suggest you deal with him first before you start.

I tried my best to warn you at that time, but what did you say? Hmm? "

At this point, Director Aquarius paused, then raised his voice and repeated it in an exaggerated way:

"It's just a level 3 cleaner, don't worry about him!"

"Our resources are very precious, but we have no obligation to avenge such boring personal grudges for you."

"You are too cautious. What's the difference between a level 3 cleaner and a bug in front of the true god-level 'No. 3'?"

"..."

Looking at the masked shadows around the long table who fell into silence, Director Aquarius asked with a happy face:

"What's going on now? Hmm? Does anyone think I'm too cautious?"
