Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 172 No one sleeps tonight

"I'm sorry, I seemed to be eating in a bit of a hurry."

After noticing Anna's suspicious look, Princess Veronica did not panic because she had revealed her secret. Instead, she took the initiative and said frankly with some embarrassment:

"A lot of unplanned things happened today. First, I was suddenly proposed to by your brother, and then I was attacked by the gangsters. As a result, I haven't eaten anything since the morning. I just couldn't hold it back and made you laugh. "

I see…

Looking at the princess who admitted without hesitation that she was "cheating for food and drink", and remembering that even though she was a little hasty, she still looked elegant, the suspicion in Anna's eyes dissipated a little, and then she threw it out Attracted by the new topic, he asked with some concern:

"So...how is Leon? Are you together today? Since you were attacked by gangsters, is he injured?"

"Don't worry. Although he encountered a little trouble, his shoulder was hit by... a pebble. The wound is probably healed now."

After answering Leon's situation, looking at the sickly girl in front of her who was obviously relieved, Princess Veronica couldn't help but smile, and then took the initiative to hold Anna's hand and said with a friendly look:

"To be honest, I was really shocked when I saw you just now."

"ah?"

After hearing the words of "sister-in-law", the sickly girl couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if her hidden thoughts were seen through, she forced a smile and said:

"Why... why?"

"Of course it's because of you."

The princess, who had neither food to eat nor a place to live, and was in urgent need of a place to stay, used her communicative skills to mediate in the political world, and praised with a smile:

"Although Leon told me that he has a sister who is about the same age as him, he never told me that you are so beautiful."

Looking at the sickly girl next to her who lowered her head shyly after being praised. Even though she was wearing a simple white dress, she still couldn't hide her beauty. Princess Veronica couldn't help but try to hug her slender waist, and then three Partly flattering and partly sincere, he sighed:

"It's so... so beautiful that I'm a little jealous, especially your waist... Oh, it's so... You must be my bridesmaid on the day of my wedding to Leon!

But you have to promise me not to dress too smartly, otherwise the guests will probably not look at me and their eyes will be glued to you. Then I will be too embarrassed. "

"No...it's not that exaggerated..."

Feeling a little embarrassed by Princess Veronica's words, Anna couldn't help but blush. She waved her hands repeatedly to show that she was not as good as she said.

After suppressing the slight sourness in her heart, looking at the beautiful and generous woman in front of her, with a good figure, a nice voice, and an impeccable woman in every aspect, Anna sighed quietly in her heart, and then held the princess's hand in hers. road:

"Sister-in-law...sister, you are really beautiful, and you have such a...good figure. No matter how nice I dress, everyone's attention will definitely be attracted to you...By the way, sister, how old are you this year?"

How old am I…

After hearing Anna's inquiry, the princess couldn't help but her expression froze slightly, and then she forced a smile and said vaguely:

"As for me, I'm a little older than your brother..."

A little bigger? My brother is sixteen years old this year, a little older than... seventeen or eighteen? Eighteen or nineteen?

After Anna heard this and thought about it, she looked at the plump beauty with mature charm in front of her. Finally, she paid a little more to the newspaper and tentatively said:

"Sister, are you... twenty years old?"

It means...do I look like someone who is not yet twenty years old?

After hearing Anna's question, the princess, as a twenty-eight-year-old beauty, couldn't help but feel happy, and the smile on her face suddenly became more than a hundred times more sincere.

Leon’s sister is not only beautiful and gentle, but she also speaks so nicely and is a good cook. Wow... I really came to the right place today!

"Yeah, almost, almost!"

After shamelessly agreeing to Anna's guess, the smiling princess pulled her and continued chatting. With both parties intending to make friends with each other, the topic seemed to have no end, and the conversation lasted until late at night.

…

"Oops, I was so happy chatting that I accidentally forgot the time!"

She had been looking out of the window with the corner of her eye, and saw that most of the street lights had been extinguished. After guessing that the last public carriage had left, the princess immediately stood up with an annoyed look on her face and said:

"I just wanted to come and see you, but I didn't expect it to take so long. I'm so sorry. I should go!"

Is it already so late?

Looking at the darkened street because most of the street lights were out, Anna quickly stood up to stop her and said:

"No, no, it's already so late. Sister, you might as well stay here today!"

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"What's the point! You're going to get married sooner or later, and now you're just here to stay one night early."

"But after all, Leon and I haven't really gotten married yet. Isn't it a bit..."

"It's okay. He's not at home. Besides, it's already so late now. Maybe the last bus is gone. What if you encounter danger along the way?"

"Then...okay..."

Unable to stop her future sister-in-law's warm invitation, after she agreed to stay overnight, the very "reserved" princess was brought into Lyon's house to stay.

After comparing her own clothes and finding that her sister-in-law would definitely not be able to fit them, Anna thoughtfully found a few pieces of Lyon's old clothes and placed them on the bedside of the room.

She picked up the old clothes and compared them. After finding that the size was just right, Princess Veronica smiled and thanked her:

"Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"You're welcome. After all, you are...well...it seems a little late."

Looking at the princess who quietly yawned a little and her eyelids were a little twitchy, Anna smiled and said:

"Sister, you've been tired all day, so I won't disturb your rest. My room is next door. If you need anything, you can call me."

"Okay, please."

After sending Anna out of the room, taking off her ill-fitting skirt and putting on Leon's old clothes, the sleepiness on the princess's face suddenly disappeared.

After silently pulling back the quilt and getting in, she sighed softly with a tired face just now, lying on her back on Leon's small bed, looking steadily at the slightly worn ceiling above her head.

Naturally, it was impossible to fall asleep. The original princess had gathered all the conditions and was only one step away from realizing her dream.

But in the blink of an eye, he inexplicably disappeared from everyone's memory, and he couldn't even go back home. He had to rely on the information he had about Lyon to cheat and live in order to avoid living on the streets.

Now, she needs enough time to think, to ponder her future, and to find a way to get back everything she has lost. For Princess Veronica, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

However, she is not the only one destined to be unable to sleep tonight, the same goes for Anna next door.

…

My brother is really getting married...

Lying on the bed without any sleep, after staring at the ceiling above her head for a while, the sickly girl couldn't help turning her head and glanced in the direction of Leon's room.

The sudden appearance of this beautiful "sister-in-law" completely broke the fact that Anna was least willing to face...Lion would get married sooner or later.

And once Leon has his own family, his own wife and children, even if he still recognizes himself as his sister who has no blood relationship with him, she is destined not to be as close as she is now.

At that time, Leon would probably move out and be able to leave a good meal for him. The woman who would wait for him to come back under the light every day would become another woman, no longer herself...

And besides that, there's that strange man with an expression that looks like he's crying!

Recalling the mysterious man who came to "visit" a few days ago, Anna felt chills all over her body. She couldn't help but shrink into the quilt, and then looked at the next room with an extremely complicated expression. If that man really took away the "photo" and made Leon forget everything, his original self could still try to find him and see if he could become a family member with him again in another way.

But now, my brother already has a marriage partner, so... can I still stay with him? Will my home... still exist?

After staring at Leon's room for a while with full of melancholy and worry, Anna was disturbed into a mess of thoughts by thinking of that woman who was so perfect that she had no choice but to even hate her. Some extremely strong and strange thoughts vaguely emerged.

What if...if I were her...?

…

"Zi..."

A strange sound sounded in the small mirror used by Leon to store things, and Youha, who was secretly grinding his teeth with the barrel of a sniper rifle, was startled.

"Woof?!"

(What?!)

After releasing the sniper rifle barrel in his mouth, Youha flicked the little golden hair on his head, turned around and looked at the pile of debris thrown in by Leon, and carefully stretched out the sole of his foot to pull out the thing that was making strange noises. Found it out.

"Wangwu?"

(Is there something wrong with this photo?)

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Looking at the strange photo where the ground was shaking slightly and the figures on it turned into three people for a while and then one person again, Youha tilted his head in surprise and felt that he should talk to Leon about this.

"Woof woof woof! woof woof woof! woof woof woof!"

(Leon! Something happened, Leon! Take the mirror out of your pocket!)

However, Leon didn't know what was going on. Youha screamed outside in the small mirror for a long time, and even stretched out his head to give him a nudge, but he still didn't get any feedback.

The somewhat anxious Youha turned around a few times, then vigorously shrugged his shiny black nose, smelled the scent of Leon, and moved along the edge of the ever-changing mirror world, finally finding a place far away from Leon. Closer to the exit.

"Woof woo... woof woo..."

(Turns out he was drunk...human beings are really unreliable...)

The dog's head poked out from the whiskey bottle and glanced at Leon lying on the table with a confused look. Youha couldn't help but curled his lips silently, and then prepared to try to bite him to wake him up and tell Leon what he had put into the mirror world. There is a strange change in the photo, however…

"What? Do you want to have a drink too?"

He stretched out his red nails painted with Danko, pinched the back of Youha's neck, and lifted it out of the whiskey bottle. The drunken-eyed red-haired director chuckled, ignoring Youha's horrified expression, and picked up a bottle. He drank a bottle of wine.

"You're welcome, I'll treat you today! Whether it's a human or a dog, I guarantee you'll get enough of it!"

"Woof! Woof woof woof!"

(Me! I don’t @#￥%!)

"Zi..."

Just when the unlucky Youha fell into the hands of the red-haired director and was forced to replace Leon as the bartender Xiao Wang, the pictures that kept making strange noises in the mirror world finally gradually became quiet.

After the last burst of weird twisting stopped, the family portrait in the photo completely disappeared and turned into a plump and pretty young woman, who looked exactly like Princess Veronica.

…

"drop!"

Just when the family portrait in the photo turned into a smiling Princess Veronica, a somewhat harsh noise suddenly sounded, waking up the drowsy old man sitting on the recliner next to him.

This is? !

Following the piercing noise, he lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist, and found that all six hands were moving. The old man, who had kind eyebrows and a naturally smiling face, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. .

All ready! The last condition was actually met!

He raised his wrist and looked at the last hand that had just moved, and found that the number that appeared was actually 0006. The old man with a naturally smiling face... or the Aquarius director couldn't help but be slightly startled.

0006? Didn’t this fail?

Standing up from the recliner with a suspicious look on his face, he walked to the table and sat down. Director Aquarius opened the drawer of the table, took out a thick book with "Full Serial Number Record of Experimental Products" on it, and quickly rummaged through it.

"0006...0006...Yes!"

After a cursory glance at the record above, he made sure that it was the thing he knew. Director Aquarius frowned and thought for a while. After writing a few lines, he tore off the page about Test Product No. 6 and turned the pages of the book. Go to the back cover and sandwich this page of records with five other records.

…

No.: 0006

Name: Anna Lane

Form: photo

Breeding level: highest

Target ability: Substitute identity, modify the past

Experimental details: Use the subject's desire for a happy family to induce the subject to have the idea of ​​replacing others, and select the carrier as a photo representing the past, memories, and experiences, in order to cultivate the ability to "replace identity" and "modify the past" in a targeted manner. Functional abnormality.

Record 1: Failure.

After learning about the death of her parents, the subject developed an extreme longing for family, but after being guided to see a large number of happy families, the target did not have the urge to replace the other's children, but instead longed to find her own parents.

Note: It is judged that because the family environment is usually relatively happy, the test subject is not envious of other people's lives, but that the other person has a real family. It is recommended to give up cultivating "replacement" abilities and instead induce them to resist reality and have the idea of ​​modifying the past. .

Record 2: Failure.

Even after witnessing the embezzlement of his parents' pension and being kicked out of the house where he grew up, the experimental subject still had no thoughts of resisting reality, and it seemed that he did not expect his parents to be resurrected.

Note: It is judged that although the test subject is very young, he has a strong will and has understood the meaning of death. He does not believe that his parents can be resurrected. He is also naturally kind-hearted and has not been completely disappointed with human nature. Therefore, the induction failed.

Record 3: Failure.

The test object activated the anomaly, but the effect was completely inconsistent with the target's ability. It changed from replacing the identity and modifying the past to regaining the family.

Note: The experiment is temporarily sealed. After the test subject reaches adulthood and its spirit is completely stable and unchanged, try to recover it and search for another test subject with similar qualities.

Record 4: Complete failure!

After a return visit, I found that although the spirit of the test subject was not completely stable, he had personally destroyed the abnormal object he had created and sincerely denied the significance of the existence of the abnormal object. After being repeatedly stimulated by me on purpose, his condition did not change. When new changes occur, the experiment has little chance of success.

Note: Because the "family" of the test subject accidentally joined the Virgin Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, the photographic anomaly created by the test subject was controlled by the Blood-haired Princess, making it extremely difficult to retrieve.

Record 5: Success?

When he was about to fall asleep at night, the [Dream Watch] was suddenly activated. The suspected experimental subject was mentally shocked, and the desire in his heart changed, causing corresponding changes in the abnormal objects, and the new ability just met the requirements of "replacement" and "modification" standard.

Note: To be verified.
