I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1126 - 1035: Reconciliation of Accounts

Finally understood it...

The Scorpio director, who was always so stubborn, finally caught onto the hint others were giving him. Both the Capricorn director and Zodiac Bureau Chiefs let out a sigh of relief, then "escorted" Ang Shen's newly minted decade-long fan towards the peak of Heavenly Mountain.

"Those two... are they personally appointed saints by our master?"

After hearing the report from his "personal guard captain," the tired-looking Eyed Pope scrutinized the two odd-looking humans, then asked them skeptically:

"Do you guys have any special qualities? Why were you appointed as saints by our master? And what exactly is a saint?"

"A saint is one of the most devout followers of our master, those who have realized the greatness of our master and have made remarkable contributions to the master's great works. Their outstanding cultivation and noble souls are clear guiding stars necessary for our master to descend to this world..."

Patching together a few definitions from the True God church, the Capricorn director cobbled together an explanation he could pass off, all the while "private chatting" with the two directors, trying to school them on the doctrines Ang Shen had just made up last week. With a wide smile, he explained:

"Your Holiness, initially I was worried they might be frauds, but these two are indeed extremely devout to our master. They even started promoting our master's great deeds the moment we met, so their identity as saints is unquestionably legitimate!"

"Really?"

After hearing his personal guard captain's words, the Eyed Pope, whose mind was like mush, became intensely interested in these two self-proclaimed saintly humans, turning his hundred pairs of eyes toward them.

"Then I will allow you to overstep and piously chant our master's true name, and then recount our master's glorious deeds... Come on, begin!"

"..."

Wait a second... an exam already? I don't even know if your Ang master is human or chicken, or whether he grew wings on his back. Who in the world knows what he's done!

'Don't panic, just listen to what I'm saying and repeat it word for word!'

After a quick reminder in the "private chat channel," the Capricorn director, drenched in sweat, began feeding the answers one line at a time to the Scorpio director.

'Our master is the greatness born into this world, the deep nightmare of dreams, the lava in the depths of the earth, the mirror lake at the end of death, transcending...'

"Our master is..."

'Our master once roamed the human realm, leaving footprints on the coldest icy snowfields of the Northern Land, exchanging secret techniques with the purest of bloodlines, accepting wisdom from the most intelligent humans... receiving from the most brilliant Star Palace...'

"Our master once..."

'Our master's true name is Leon, representing forward-looking, never-ceasing world principle. Our master's surname is Ryan, embracing all worlds, rejecting none...'

"Our master's true name is Leon, that is... um..."

'?!!!'

'What did you say?'

Just as the Capricorn director was reciting his hastily made-up nonsense in his mind, trying to help the two muddle through, the Scorpio director's neck suddenly made a cracking sound, jerked slightly toward the Capricorn's direction, then he used immense will to forcibly turn it back.

Leon... Leon? Leon?!!

Reciting that familiar name over and over in his mind, his neck muscles almost strained to breaking point, the Scorpio director furiously asked in the "private chat":

'Say it again? The master they worship is called what? Is it the Leon I know?!!'

'?'

The Scorpio director's intense spirit smashed hard into him, causing the Capricorn director to unconsciously tilt his head back, rubbing his swollen temples, he asked in the "private chat channel":

'You know Leon? Did you already communicate with the real world before falling to Heavenly Mountain?'

'I...'

Recalling the mess of information provided by that fool... the self-proclaimed Aquarius director named Leon, the Scorpio director's brain was almost smoking. He replied with utter bewilderment:

'I haven't contacted the real world; they said the Slaughter King Association temporarily blocked it. But I did reach someone named Leon, who said he's the Zodiac Bureau's new Aquarius director... Is this true?'

'Absolutely!'

Upon hearing the Scorpio director had reached Leon, the Capricorn director's heart swelled with joy, and he affirmed excitedly in the private chat:

'Leon is indeed the current Aquarius director, though young, he's a genius on par with the third generation chiefs... You got in touch with him? What did he say? How's the Realm of the Dead right now?'

'The Realm of the Dead...'

Recalling Leon's "dream talk," the Scorpio director, at a loss for what to do, recounts wordlessly in his mind:

'He said they've already conquered the Realm of the Dead and established some kind of Underworld sub-bureau, and now even the cleaners can resurrect...'

'Really?! That's fantastic!'

The Capricorn director, who was similarly behind the times, felt overwhelmingly delighted upon hearing this and sincerely praised:

'He's truly a genius comparable to the third generation chiefs, being able to turn around even such situations... By the way, what's he up to now? When can he come to support us?'

'He... he's over at the Abyss catching a demon god...'

Surrounded by devoted purple-skinned angels listening to his "Arng Shen saint" sermon, the Scorpio director answers with a glazed expression:

'If the Leon I contacted is the same Leon you mentioned... then he should be about to unify the Abyss...'

'...'

'What?!!!'

...

"That's it?"

Unaware that his appointed personal guard captain was frantically cross-referencing with the Ang Shen church's newly minted saints, after waiting a while with no follow-up, the Eyed Pope frowned rather discontentedly across his hundred eyelids and expressed:

"Why didn't you explain further? Our master's true name, though only two words, represents a grand significance; how can you casually omit it?"

"Uh..."

"Your Holiness, I think I understand what's going on here."

Somewhat absorbed by his cross-referencing, coldly ignoring the Eyed Pope, the Capricorn director hurriedly offered an explanation:

"Our master's name is sacred and profound, and it's difficult to express its greatness using our shallow language. Those who have witnessed our master, naturally wouldn't want to desecrate his true name in this manner."

"Hmm... Indeed."

After hearing the Capricorn director's nonsense, the already brainwashed Eyed Pope nodded in agreement, casting a much kinder gaze toward the two "saints."

"You're good, indeed worthy of being personally pointed out by our master. When the nine heretics have also bathed in our master's grace, you'll stand above them and be on par with our master's chief steed."

"Um... Thank you, Your Holiness?"

Hastily accepting the esteemed status equivalent to one of Ang Shen's steeds, under Capricorn's repeated urging, the Scorpio director couldn't help but inquire:

"Your Holiness, the nine heretics you mentioned, are they...?"

"They are the original nine angels."

Pointing toward the bubbling Pool of Resurrection, the Eyed Pope eagerly declared:

"I've ordered a thorough search of Heavenly Mountain earlier, dug out these nine heretics from their individual resting places, and soaked them in there for several months. They should be waking up soon."
