I! Cleaner!-Chapter 447 - 385: It’s All Aquarius’s Fault!

What the hell?!

Upon hearing the opening remarks of the Director of Taurus, Leon and Olivia, both filled with bad news and ready to ask for assistance, were suddenly stunned.

Director Taurus! I have bad news to tell you!

Isn’t that a coincidence? I have even worse news here!

"What’s going on?!!!"

The request for help was directly swallowed back, and the red-haired chief quickly asked:

"The Watcher’s Palace has been operating smoothly for years, never had any problems. So why... wait! Could it be the Aquarius Director? Was he able to manipulate the Watcher’s Palace?"

"Aquarius Director? Isn’t he dead?"

"He... forget it, we’ll talk about him later!"

Upon hearing the strongest trump card of the Clean-up Bureau had gone awry, the red-haired chief couldn’t help but grit his teeth:

"Director Taurus! What exactly went wrong with the Watcher’s Palace?"

"The Watcher’s Palace... it seems to have been affected by something."

Suppressing his shock, Director of Taurus explained with a furrowed brow:

"You know, once seated on the throne of the Watcher’s Palace, one can review all the past and preview parts of possible futures.

If the throne sitter finds an anomaly in the future, anything that could endanger the Clean-up Bureau or even affect humanity, they will send an early warning, providing vague information to let us eliminate dangers before they occur."

"What? Has that ability failed?"

"Overall, it’s not a complete failure, but there are indeed some issues."

Taking out a pile of moon-white small notes from his pocket, he shook them in front of the Celestial Globe Mirror, then remarked with confusion:

"At the beginning of each year, the Watcher’s Palace sends down many notes at once, telling us the things to be most mindful of that year... such as warning against the waking Ancient Ones in the polar regions, or the extent the Moonfolk have hollowed out the moon.

This year, the Watcher’s Palace also sent quite a few notes, most were normal, but one was problematic, with many critical pieces of information missing, completely unreadable... Look, it’s this one!"

Upon hearing Director of Taurus, the tense red-haired chief immediately looked at the note held up to the mirror.

’A soul named... from an unknown world has, after three years of dormancy, joined... and established a foothold at..., after contact with the Clean-up Bureau’s..., suddenly gained the strange ability to block my observation.

According to the parts of the future I once saw, he will become..., launch... against the entire Clean-up Bureau, and act to destroy..., completely disrupting..., it is imperative to deal with him in advance!’

"Seems like a powerful, scheming soul?"

After seeing a note with seven or eight sections missing, containing almost no critical information, the red-haired chief couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.

"According to the description, he seems to be set for a conflict with the Clean-up Bureau and has already had contact with them, possibly even collaborating with some insiders in the Bureau... Leon, what do you think?"

"..."

What do I think... I can only think that this is talking about me!

Reading the note repeatedly, Leon’s eyes kept focusing on keywords like "from an unknown world" and "three years", making his scalp tingle.

After contact with the Clean-up Bureau’s..., suddenly gained the strange ability to block my observation; if my guess is correct, the "..." stands for Director of Taurus.

After all, it was after contact with her that I learned about the existence of the Watcher’s Palace, and the activation of [Materialism] by the information I acquired blocked the influence from the Watcher’s Palace; everything matches perfectly.

...

"I’m shocked..."

After answering the red-haired chief honestly, Leon, slightly twitching at the cheeks, pointed at the part "after contact with..." on the note, a little guilty:

"Do you think the person colluding with him could be the Aquarius Director?"

"Hmm? Why do you think so?"

"Uh... I’m guessing."

Facing the confused gaze of the two directors, Leon toughened up and made up nonsense:

"You see, the Aquarius Director is a genius in Abnormal Genesis Sorcery; he’s always intended to research the Watcher’s Palace, and in preparation to ascend the throne, he’s been preparing for years.

With his talent, after so many years of research, perhaps he really figured out a way to block the Watcher’s Palace’s observation and passed this method on to the soul from the unknown world after contact.

Mmm... I’m not saying it’s definitely the Aquarius Director’s doing, but reasoning by common sense, his suspicion is indeed very high, right?"

"Indeed."

After hearing Leon’s bold assumption, on the other end of the Celestial Globe Mirror, the Sagittarius Director, who had been silent the whole time, nodded.

After acknowledging Leon’s speculation, this middle-aged man with a square face, exuding a solid and straightforward air, furrowed his thick brows:

"If we must say someone in the bureau controls the ability to block the Watcher’s Palace’s observation, apart from the Aquarius Director, I really can’t think of anyone else. This matter probably can’t be disconnected from him... Oh, you were saying earlier, the Aquarius Director is still alive?"

"Yes! The Aquarius Director is not dead!"

Upon hearing the Sagittarius Director’s inquiry, the red-haired chief nodded with a grave expression:

"Many years ago, he already split his soul, doing it even more thoroughly than Director Pisces, apart from sharing memories and having the same goals, they’re practically two different people.

And the soul sent to the Realm of the Dead via [Directive List] and [Netherworld Streetlight] was only half of the Aquarius Director’s soul; he’s hidden the other half and is scheming with the King of Nightmares to help him descend, using the forces of the dream realm to complete his missing soul."

The King of Nightmares?

Upon hearing the red-haired chief, Director of Taurus’s expression shifted, he then rummaged through the notes and handed one over.

"Olivia, is this what you mean?"

’The Demonic Soul Abyss is about to overlap with reality, the King of Nightmares has a small chance of descending from this, it’s critical to expel Bai Ye Sect followers ahead of time, destroy the directing ritual for the King of Nightmares’ descent to ensure...’

"Exactly this one!"

After hurriedly reading the contents of the note, the red-haired chief took a deep breath and clenched his fist in frustration:

"Though my side received the message, that document was sent by the Aquarius Director, the marked location and time were likely altered by him.

Director Taurus, the King of Nightmares’ descent is inevitable, can you or Director Sagittarius use the Star Palace Shift to come help me stop the King of Nightmares?"

"I fear I can’t..."

Director of Taurus hesitated slightly and then shook his head in resignation:

"The King of Nightmares’ power is nightmare, and when it intrudes into reality, it can easily taint human souls, my soul has been nurturing for almost ten years, reaching the final stage of ascension, if it gets tainted, then the past ten years would have to be redone.

Though enduring another ten years wouldn’t be much, pushing through it would be fine, but I’m concerned about the Watcher’s Palace, I want to inspect it ahead of time, have already begun the palace ascent ahead of time, couldn’t face the King of Nightmares..."

Pulling the collar slightly apart, revealing to Leon and Olivia the blazing white soul starting to overflow from the flesh, Director of Taurus looked at the square-faced middle-aged man beside him and said somewhat apologetically:

"Andrew, could I ask you to go over for me?"
