I! Cleaner! - Chapter 44: Mind Reading and Recognizing Relatives
After chatting for a while with regular customers at the old Charles coffee stall, Leon, who was almost a billionaire’s son-in-law, finally braved the cold wind of late autumn and walked to work timidly.
All we can say about this is that the difficulty of transitioning from luxury to frugality is not only reflected in the spirit, but also in the body.
If it were the original Leon, even in the severe winter when the cold could turn a person’s face blue, he would still often have to get up early and work hard to find work. The coldness in late autumn can only be said to be trivial.
But after getting used to the warm little tent full of sweet aroma, he just couldn’t sit by the fire to warm up, so he couldn’t help but tremble all the way and started to trot until he reached the vicinity of the Cleanup Bureau building, and then he breathed He stopped breathing heavily.
“Not bad, very energetic~”
From the window of the director’s office on the first floor, I saw Lyon jogging to work. The red-haired woman holding a glass of hot water pushed open the half-closed window. Her upper body with rather proud curves gently leaned on the window sill and smiled towards her. Leon waved and asked with a crooked smile:
“Little Leon~ How is the investigation by the water power company going? Did you find any ‘abnormalities’?”
“…”
Although she knew she was joking, the question she asked was not whether she had found anomalies, but whether she had successfully obtained evidence of illegal operations by the hydraulic company.
But after thinking about the blond middle-aged man in the Lane family who had touched the heart of the black goat, Leon still couldn’t help but pause slightly.
“Um?”
Keenly catching Leon’s slight hesitation, the red-haired director’s smile faded slightly and asked with some surprise:
“Is there really any trace of abnormal objects at the water power company?”
“…”
You guessed it… But although there is an anomaly there, it is not an anomaly that caused a large number of patients, but one of the seven haggis lost after the Black Goat exploded in the sky.
By the way, although the Black Goat is now in trouble, he was still a big demon at the beginning, and he is a new employee. Will the Cleanup Bureau allow him to keep two dangerous demonic anomalies at the same time?
“Um???”
Catching Leon’s slight hesitation again, the red-haired director not only put away the smile on his face, but even narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
“Are you hesitating whether to report it to me? So this anomaly is somewhat special? And it is useful to you? But after reporting it, you may not be able to apply?
Hmm… let me think about it… the abnormal objects you found at the water power company couldn’t be the other parts that the dead sheep lost back then, right? “
“…”
No…I haven’t even said a word yet!
Looking at the red-haired woman who had guessed the truth of the matter with just two hesitations of less than one second, Leon, who was about to say something, couldn’t help but fell into silence for the third time.
This is too outrageous… She doesn’t have any abnormality like mind reading, does she?
“Don’t worry, I can’t read minds.”
Oh, it turns out you can’t read minds, so I can fart…! You can even hear what I’m thinking, and you still say you can’t read minds? !
Looking out the window at the obviously startled Leon, whose eyes were full of vigilance, the red-haired director couldn’t help but smile.
“I’m not lying, I really can’t read minds.”
After placing the still steaming cup on the windowsill, she reached out to hold her cheek and explained with a smile:
“I used to play hide-and-seek with the infected people hiding among ordinary people. I have become accustomed to making judgments by observing other people’s expressions and behaviors, and you are the type whose emotions are written on your face, so it just happened that you continued to I guessed it a few times.”
“…”
I believe you!
Leon really didn’t believe even a word of the explanation given by the red-haired director.
Although he is not a deep-seated person, his emotions and anger are rarely expressed on his face. The neighbors in Veterans Alley also describe him as a man of few words. How could he be guessed so many times in a row? She must be deceiving herself!
“Really, I didn’t lie to you. Although your expression is not too much, there are so many things in your eyes that they are almost overflowing~”
After looking at Leon, who was still trying to keep a straight face even though his mind was racing with thoughts, the red-haired director raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his finger to point towards Leon’s eyes.
“For example, now…you have the annoyance in your eyes after I saw through it, the wariness and doubt about whether I can really read minds, and the relaxation and calmness of not having to hide it from me…well, still There’s a little bit of lust that’s hard to control.”
After looking down at his slightly open neckline because he leaned over, the red-haired director reached out to cover the exposed white greasy hair, then stood up lazily, stretched his waist, and smiled at the somewhat embarrassed Leon. He hooked his fingers.
“Come to my office and let’s have a nice chat.”
“…”
…
“So that’s it…the heart of the dead sheep is actually in the Ryan family.”
After literally having a good chat with Leon, after hearing what he had discovered at the water power company, the red-haired director nodded with a look of enlightenment, and then gave Leon a new task without hesitation.
“You can’t leave something of this level unchecked. It’s best to find a way to sneak in and investigate. As for the reason…”
After looking at Leon’s face, the red-haired director couldn’t help but his eyes lit up, and then he suggested with a smile:
“How about finding a relative?”
“Looking for a relative?”
“Yes, looking for relatives! It just so happens that your last name is Ryan, isn’t this the best excuse?”
Facing the surprised Leon, the red-haired director smiled and said:
“As long as you go with your credentials from the Cleanup Bureau and say that you suspect you also have the bloodline of the Ryan family, with your bright future as an assistant-level public official at the age of 16 or 17, even the famous Lionheart Duke’s family will not reject you.”
“But my hair is not golden…”
“Oh! Isn’t it easy to dye your hair? Isn’t it better to just dye it!”
“But I was going to report them…”
“Reporting is reporting, and recognizing relatives is recognizing relatives! No delay!”
“…”
“If you really don’t want to go, I can also change you to another task.”
Seeing that Leon seemed to want to refuse, the red-haired director, who rarely found some fun, suddenly looked serious, took out a stack of task documents from the drawer of his desk, and lined them up on the table.
“It has been raining blood in the Bovary Forest for two weeks, and nearly a thousand animals have died of thirst near the water source.”
“A five-meter-high monster appeared in Adolf Manor, wreaking havoc on the farm and injuring many people.”
“A large number of ships have crashed in the ocean port of Lane County, and may have been attacked by a large tribe of sea people.”
“A large-scale collapse of the coal-fired field in the Hunhe Valley, and it is suspected that tens of thousands of sand maggots have hollowed out the mountain.”
“There are only a few tasks you can complete for now, so you choose!”
“…”
Strange blood rain, five-meter-high monsters, sea people living underwater, sand maggots that can hollow out a mountain…
After smacking his lips speechlessly, Leon “actively chose” with helplessness in his eyes:
“Then I’d better go to recognize my relatives…”
