Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 357 Questioning and Speculation

“…”

What is your Emma... Is it possible that there is really something between you two...

"What are you thinking about?"

From Leon's slightly weird look in shock, he vaguely guessed his thoughts. The red-haired director quickly loosened his collar and said angrily:

"Emma and I are friends! Best friends with each other! Well... apart from that, she is also my biggest creditor, and then there is no other relationship!"

"oh…"

"Oh what!"

Seeing Leon's expression of sudden realization, and remembering the incident of Marquis throwing himself into the lake that had caused a storm in the city, the red-haired director couldn't help but feel angry, and said with an unkind expression:

"You bastard, you are simply a genius pretending to be confused!

What's more, 'With William and Melanie's help, everything will be fine'... Bah! Emma almost expresses her thoughts on her face. I don’t believe you can’t tell what she wants to say! "

“…”

"Hurry! Give me the answer! What on earth do you think of Emma!

besides! The policewoman from the Secret Investigation Bureau who always eats with you in the cafeteria at noon, and Princess Veronica who is nominally engaged to you, what are you going to do with these people? "

“…”

It seems that [Performance Master] is not very useful to the Director...

After laughing awkwardly, Leon scratched his head and said:

"Isa and I are just friends, the kind of people we don't know each other without fighting. As for the princess, I have always wanted to break off the engagement with her, but in the end I was fooled by her, and I didn't back out three times in a row.

And the reason why I pretended not to understand just now was mainly because the princess...

After all, no matter what the actual situation is, there is indeed an engagement between me and her. If it hasn’t been sorted out yet... well... I always feel a little bit uncomfortable..."

Good guy, I didn’t expect you to be so compatible with demonic anomalies, and that your moral standards are quite high in private...

After identifying Leon's expression and confirming that he didn't seem to be telling lies, the red-haired director's expression softened slightly, and then he squinted his eyes and reminded:

"I don't care how you choose in the end, but as Emma's best friend, you have to handle this matter properly. At least don't hurt her again, otherwise don't blame me for causing trouble for you!"

"Ah...although I don't want to hurt Senior Emma, ​​Director, are you using your power for personal gain and retaliating?"

"I'll take revenge on you! Can't you? If you don't accept it, go to the headquarters and complain to me!"

“…”

Let’s not talk about whether your complaint will be of any use. The headquarters is more than 70,000 kilometers away from the ground. I should go up there and do the math, right?

After looking at Leon who was speechless, the red-haired director, who was feeling a lot of sullenness, hesitated slightly, and then whispered:

"Besides...actually, I don't really want you to be with Emma."

"ah?"

After hearing the words of the red-haired director, Leon couldn't help but be slightly confused, and then his mind entered the memory mode uncontrollably. He remembered the deep friendship with the red-haired director who had a similar odor... um... exchanging cups with each other, and the warmth in the world of death. A soft yet hot deep kiss.

What this sentence means is...sss...could it be that the director also treats me...could I actually be some kind of extremely handsome man?

"The relationship between Emma and the Realm of Death is actually far closer than you think, and it is not as simple as just one [Sin of the Precious Flower].

She is the only one who can enter and exit the realm of death at will, and who can contract with the true **** of the realm of death for so many years. Even little Ellie actually has some problems..."

The red-haired director frowned and said:

"Leon, to tell you the truth, when something happened to the Baohua family, I paid special attention to the situation there.

Do you know, if Emma hadn't entrusted Ellie to someone else and accidentally ran back from the world of death, the number of Baohua family members who died under that tree would have been exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine. This number Makes me very concerned...

Um? What’s wrong with you? Why don't you speak? "

“…”

Because I just had a sudden thought...I thought you wanted to compete with Senior Emma for me...How can I say this?

Relying on the effectiveness of [Performance Master], after suppressing the strong sense of shame in his heart, Li Ang, who felt good about himself, took a deep breath and said without changing his expression:

"I just didn't expect that there was a hidden secret... But Director, whether it's Senior Emma's [Precious Flower's Sin] or little Ellie's [Precious Flower's Sorrow], I have already come into contact with it, and I haven't seen anything. Are you overthinking the doubtful records?”

"Probably not."

The red-haired director shook his head and said:

"Leon, remember, as a cleaner, you have to learn to rely on your own abilities, but you can't just trust in your own abilities!"

"I have carefully checked and found that most of the information you have seen with your ability are only files related to the anomaly itself. There is very little mention of things other than the anomaly. Therefore, it can only be used as a reference and cannot be used as a decisive factor. basis for judgment.

For example, let me ask you, because Emma escaped from the world of death, the "Sin of the Treasure Flower" appeared, but the door of the world of death was guarded by the three-headed dog. How did she pass the three-headed dog guard? The door to the dead world? Have you mentioned your abilities? "

"This...really doesn't..."

When he heard this, Leon couldn't help being slightly startled, and his brows also wrinkled.

"But I have read in the introductions of other abnormal objects that Inugami is asleep most of the time when guarding the gate, and occasionally leaves briefly to look for food. Is it possible that it is just a coincidence..."

"Then why did it happen to happen to Emma?"

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

The red-haired director said seriously:

"That dog never left early or late, but it left just when 999 souls with the same bloodline and the same cause of death entered the death realm, all with almost the same regrets and resentments, all gathered together?

Also, the number nine hundred and ninety-nine is even more concerning! "

When he said this, the red-haired director couldn't help but sigh:

"I have retrieved the files and found that there were approximately 1,104 Baohua members who were imprisoned before the execution, but in the half month before the execution, exactly 105 people died one after another. Only nine hundred and ninety-nine remain.

Special numbers such as nine hundred and ninety-nine, seven, thirteen, six, three, and one hundred and eleven are often related to rituals in mysticism and must not be ignored casually.

And nine hundred and ninety-nine is exactly related to 'Advent'. Considering this very deliberate number, coupled with the obviously too close connection between Emma and the world of death, I really can't help but not think too much about it.

After all, the Baohua family was destroyed during the invasion of the Ice Country, and the large number of deaths caused by the ensuing war was the best nourishment for the beings who descended from the dead world. "

“…”

With that being said...it doesn't seem impossible...

After recalling what happened to the Baohua family, Leon couldn't help but nodded solemnly.

If you don't dig deeper, the tragedy of the Baohua family seems to be caused only by Leonard's ambition, and there is no behind-the-scenes driving force. However, it is all too coincidental.

After all, as long as the person in charge of the trade route is replaced by someone else, or the Baohua family gets the news in time, or the person who inquires about the news is not Leonard, or the royal family tries to communicate before taking action, the final result will be one of two things, but... Every time the result is the worst.

So...could it be that the destruction of the Baohua family was actually not simple?

"Director."

After calling the red-haired director, Leon frowned and said:

"Have you told Senior Emma about these speculations?"

"How to say?"

After asking a question helplessly, the red-haired director sighed:

"Let's not mention that there is no evidence, do I still want to tell her that there may be a certain master of the dead world who wants to come, manipulate the situation behind the scenes, and use the lives of all her people to make up a ritual?

In this situation, she can still have some hope of revenge. If I tell her my guess and let her know that the person behind the Baohua incident may be a master of the death world, I am afraid Emma will never be happy in her life. "

"Also, although the Marquis of Golden Cuckoo was a complete bastard, he did take away little Ellie and didn't let her die directly under the redwood tree. Maybe that's how the advent ceremony was ruined.

So if the situation is really as I guessed, and the master of the dead world wants to use this to come, then he can be regarded as saving the lives of most of the people in the royal capital..."
