I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1095 - 1010: Combo Technique and the Truth of Old Days
"I...I I..."
Seeing the two intertwined in a manner inappropriate for children, Miss Crasher hurriedly covered her face with her hand, stammering:
"I'm not...I thought you..."
"Alright, no need to explain, I understand."
After a slight sigh, Leon put the bewildered Queen Veronica back in place, then said with unusual difficulty:
"One of you is 'Miss Crasher', the other is 'Good Things Come Hard,' combined they count as an anomaly-linked technique. It's strange if you're not here during times like this... So, what's happened now?"
"Director, it was the Director who sent me!"
Seeing Leon didn't intend to blame her, Miss Crasher immediately breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly explained:
"I just tidied up the office and was about to sleep when the Director knocked on my door, asking me to come find you, saying that the headquarters received very important intelligence, and you need to hurry to a meeting."
Very important intelligence?
Leon was slightly taken aback, then frowned and asked:
"What intelligence? How important is it?"
"The Director didn't tell me..."
Miss Crasher shook her head and said:
"The Director said this matter's confidentiality level is almost the highest, couldn't tell me specific details, just hurry to headquarters for a meeting... Oh, also."
Saying this, Miss Crasher seemed to remember something, bowed her head blushing and murmured:
"The Director also said that although this matter is extremely urgent, it can't be solved immediately... So if...if you're...um...busy, there's no need for your presence at headquarters, just send your thoughts to Taurus Palace."
"Understood... It's late at night, sorry to trouble you..."
"No, no trouble at all."
After delivering the red-haired Director's message, Miss Crasher visibly breathed another sigh of relief, then shrunk her neck and said:
"Then I won't disturb you, go ahead with your... um, I mean do your... that..."
"No need to say it, I understand..."
Watching her get stuck in the conversation and her cheeks start to flush again, Leon had no choice but to say:
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can just leave, no need to say goodbye."
"I'm...sorry..."
Upon hearing Leon's words, Miss Crasher's shoulders relaxed, she rode the dog away relieved, and after she disappeared through the window, Queen Veronica couldn't help but look at Leon, saying with a particularly difficult expression:
"She is..."
"She's my colleague, her anomaly is 'Miss Crasher', if something 'big' happens nearby, or some private activity that someone desperately wants to remain hidden, she'll definitely crash it."
After explaining Miss Crasher's ability, Leon sighed and said:
"But I just realized, not only her anomaly, your 'Good Things Come Hard' also got a part to play, whenever you intend... um... your abilities start to cooperate and directly summon her... Never mind, let's not talk about this."
Closing his eyes and perceiving the situation at Taurus Star Palace, discovering it indeed is open, moreover Taurus Director and Cancer Director were already in place, Leon couldn't help but apologize:
"I finally got some days to relax and accompany you properly, but the Director is in such a hurry, possibly something big really happened, I might have to go take a look first."
"It's okay, I understand."
Although her eyes almost wrote "I don't understand", Queen Veronica still nodded slightly and responded softly:
"It's not your fault, I'm always busy too... Go ahead quickly, what you need to do is more important than what's here on my side."
"Hmm."
Discovering that with Taurus Star Palace's activation, more wills had already swarmed into headquarters, Leon didn't say more but instead closed his eyes and cleared his mind, using the connections among the Twelve Star Palaces, projecting most of his will over there.
"Sorry..."
Watching Leon's figure gradually forming across the table, Taurus Director looked remorseful and said:
"You've hardly gotten some days to rest, I actually didn't want to disturb you, but this matter is incredibly important, and given mine and Cancer's situation... sigh..."
"You overstate it."
Gesturing that it's no bother, Leon somewhat puzzled asked:
"What exactly happened at the bureau? Why are you urgently looking for me?"
"It's not the bureau, it's something at Old Soil."
Exhausted Cancer Director took over, with a complex expression:
"The Director and Aries Director killed the past Crimson Overlord again, retrieved from its hands a large fragment of 'Life,' enough to extend all of humanity's lifespan in the present by forty years, pulling our life expectancy up to two hundred years." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"?!!"
Upon hearing Cancer Director's words, Leon's brow slightly rose, then delightfully said:
"That's fantastic news!"
"Good news certainly, but there's also a big problem."
Taurus Director heard this and gave a wry smile:
"Scorpio Director and Virgo Director are escorting that 'Life' fragment back, estimated to arrive at Heavenly Mountain in about half a month, but the Blue King and Red King... the newly arisen Omnia Cicada and Crimson Overlord, followed from Old Soil as well."
Leon, considering the bureau's current situation, you know if it were merely two ordinary Pillar Gods, we could hold them off, but against supreme Four Pillar Gods things of this caliber, we're hard-pressed to safeguard this fragment."
"Though necessarily."
Leon thought for a moment and then spoke:
"I, Serpent Bearer Director, Director Olivia, Lion Sub-bureau Beverly director, can all perform near ordinary Pillar God level even when not supported by our Star Palaces, and Capricorn Director along with six Zodiac branch directors are conveniently still stationed at Heavenly Mountain.
With these ten plus Scorpio and Virgo directors returning from Old Soil, facing two supreme Four Pillar Gods it feels like we could put up a fight."
"Well, here's the second problem."
Cancer Director looked troubled and said:
"Aquarius, we're now under the Old King's blockade, we probably can't leave the present world temporarily."
"???"
"In simple terms, the Old King used its truth to form a thin shell outside the present world, encasing it completely."
Cancer Director explained while raising a hand to create an illusion on the table. A dark building was suspended outside the protection of Watcher's Palace, forming a vast shell, entirely blocking all pathways from reality to the outside.
"The True Gods you captured confessed, this thing's called 'Yesterday's Residence,' the Old King's palace left on Source God Platform."
Pointing at the dark building, Cancer Director explained with a furrowed brow:
"Taurus and I researched and found out this thing has a whole 24-hour discrepancy in the time aspect with us, impossible to touch, and any human trying to leave through this shell will have their time forcefully rolled back 24 hours, returning to the state before departure."
