Chapter 116 What do you want to do???
Just a little better than failure… isn’t that also a success?
Although the evaluation in the bureau may be very low, you can get the Sheep Heart by investigating, and the Devil Badge and Holy Spirit Badge are also upgraded. By the way, a lot of rotten scum are also cleaned up.
So by my own standards, this mission couldn't have been more successful.
Well...but I still have to hold it in, I must hold it in. The Director is obviously very unhappy right now. If I show too happy at this moment, I will definitely suffer the consequences.
"I was reckless."
In order to avoid exposing his true thoughts through the "window of the soul", Leon lowered his head and reflected on himself "dejectedly":
"After completing the basic investigation and narrowing down the target range to those five people, I should have immediately returned to the bureau to request support. I shouldn't have tried to investigate Bobby Ryan alone.
I originally thought that even if I was discovered by him by accident, I would be able to escape with the help of the Holy Spirit Pendant and the Witch's Broom, but the degree of compatibility between him and the heart was too high. Not only did he prohibit flying, he even blocked the entire manor. I really had no choice..."
You're not helpless! There's at least a 90% chance that you did it on purpose!
Thinking of Leon's nosy character, the red-haired chief couldn't help but glare at him, wondering in his heart the possibility that this little bastard was deliberately causing trouble.
Leon was usually a very cautious person. Even in the Cleanup Bureau, he would run away without hesitation if he showed any abnormality.
This time he did not come back to call for help, but took the risk to attack the target directly. Most likely, during the investigation, he discovered a lot of bad things done by the Ryan family, and then he could not suppress his anger, so he deliberately contacted Bobby Ryan in advance, wanting to deal with him personally.
It's just that the compatibility between Bobby Ryan and the Demon's Heart is indeed surprisingly high. After encountering this low-probability event, Lyon's original plan to only deal with him went bankrupt, and he was trapped and unable to leave, so he was forced to continuously expand the scale, which caused Ryan's Bloody Night.
As for the more than 200 people who died, looking at the files, almost all of them were sentenced to death, which perfectly fit the group he hated the most, so it was probably not that he couldn't save those people, but that he didn't even think about saving them!
The child has learned bad things...
The red-haired chief gritted his teeth in hatred as he saw Leon admitting his mistake honestly with a "dejected" look, but his body and muscles were quite relaxed, showing no sincerity at all.
This little bastard has only been in the Cleanup Bureau for a month, but he has already learned how to step on the bottom line of the rules and satisfy his excessive sense of justice without making any mistakes. He's like a veteran who has been in the business for many years!
Really...who did he learn this from?
The red-haired chief, who had no sense of corrupting the newcomer, could not help but glare at Leon again for his pretentiousness after roughly deducing the "truth" of that night, but in the end he was reluctant to say anything.
After all, although this little bastard is hateful, he is indeed a very good subordinate. He is down-to-earth, hardworking, talented, conscientious and has a good attitude... Except for his excessive sense of justice, compared with a bunch of weirdos with problems in the bureau, he is already the least troublesome one.
Moreover, it cannot be said that those who died this time deserved the punishment, but that they unforgivable crimes were committed. Even if they were hanged one by one, it would be too easy for them. If I were to go there, I might fail to rescue them in time or something. So I still have to help him bear the consequences this time, so that the bureau won't find any problems with him.
Alas... There is no such thing as an employee who is good in everything in the world. Just bear with it.
After silently repeating "I hired the guy" more than a dozen times, the red-haired director let out a long breath after consoling himself. Then he fiercely opened the drawer, took out a few task sheets and slapped them on the table, looking at Leon with ill intent and said:
"Okay, don't review it yet. Emma helped you share a lot of the work you missed during these days, but there is still some left. Now that you have been discharged from the hospital, make up for it quickly!"
Let you, a little bastard, act on your own and start messing around without informing me. I'm going to tire you out!
"Ok!"
Hearing that there was a new task to do, Lyon, whose strength and confidence had increased greatly, couldn't help but cheer up, and quickly took the task list and started to look through it.
I currently have twelve badges, but there are only five slots, and one of them is locked by [Materialism], which is really not enough.
Currently, the only way to continue to expand the number of slots is to obtain more anomalies, and these tasks are exactly what I want.
……
A large number of goats were lost in Bav County. Six herders went up the mountain to look for them and disappeared for three days. They finally appeared in a brothel 800 kilometers away, claiming that they didn't know how they got there... The Morning Star Theater under the name of Master Oscar Wilde has been performing normally recently, but the food sent in by the theater has not been touched. It seems that something special has happened...
An arsonist appeared in Lowther Arcade. He was seen walking through several streets and alleys in the wealthy area at night with a large number of incendiary tools. We need to interview witnesses to investigate his whereabouts...
After looking through the task list for a while, Leon couldn't help but frown.
Why are they all investigation missions? And they don't seem to have much to do with anomalies?
Especially the herders who were looking for goats. They found the receipts and tickets for selling goats, but they still said they were kidnapped and taken to a brothel. What is there to investigate? And the remaining two things are also outrageous...
If you were to guess, the truth behind these three things would probably be something like this.
One wave is made up of old perverts who fire from afar but refuse to admit they have been prostituted, another wave is a troupe of "superior people" who look down on free food, and the third wave is most likely made up of rioters who want to attack and cause trouble. What abnormalities can be found in these?
He quickly moved the three task lists to the back and decided not to deal with the first two for now. After having a chance to catch the arsonist, Leon looked down at the last task list in his hand.
Go to the Massenet family's Rose Manor and rescue the kidnapped only daughter of the owner of Charles Department Store?
Masai Ni... is he the noble family that colluded with the Scales of Gold Church and caused the Holy Spirit Descent incident? If I want to continue to brush my [Practitioner] badge, it seems that I have to start with the Scales of Gold Church. I can take this opportunity to find out about the situation of the Scales of Gold Church!
“Let me do this first!”
After finally finding a task that suits him, Leon's frown relaxed slightly. He signed his name on the task list and handed it back.
Going to Rose Manor to save people... well... that's a good idea.
Looking at the task list handed back by Leon, the red-haired director nodded in agreement. Leon was able to be released so quickly thanks to the efforts of the owner of Charles Department Store, so it was quite appropriate to let him do this.
However, just as the red-haired chief was about to sign his name and complete the task assignment process, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Leon's expectant expression.
"..."
Masseni... Ryan... Masseni... Ryan... Another noble family that does no good. Is this little bastard trying to make something big happen to me again?
"The mission is not urgent."
He immediately stopped signing, and the red-haired director stared at Leon with vigilance.
"Tell me, how are you going to do this mission?"
"what?"
Slightly startled by the red-haired chief’s attitude, Leon thought for a moment and then replied:
"If we're going to save someone, I would choose to sneak in at night and investigate the situation of the Masaini family first, and then..."
And then we'll have a Massenet Bloody Night, right?
"Change it to daytime!"
Fearing that Leon might get excited and make some big news in the middle of the investigation, the red-haired director hurriedly stopped him and said:
"And you don't need to investigate this time. The bureau has already found the location of the hostage. Go to the first floor to find Jerry in the boss' office and ask his 'friends' to take you there!"
