Chapter 219 The Real Questioning
Chapter 219 The Real Questioning (Part )
He was able to steal it all the way to the God of Enlightenment through his skillful hands... If I had known this would happen, I should have left Nathan a few more life-saving anomalies.
Looking at the "old friend" in front of him who had dedicated fifteen generations to his lineage, Director Aquarius couldn't help but shook his head, then he directly ignored Leon and Jerry, and looked up at the director of the Cleanup Bureau, and said sincerely:
“Director, the God of Enlightenment has been imprisoned by our Aquarius lineage for two thousand years, and I alone have extracted its flesh and blood and true spirit thousands of times.
No matter how deep the hatred is, it is probably not even a fraction of its hatred for me. Do you really want to doubt a director who has worked in the bureau for nearly a hundred years just because of this one-sided statement from an alien god?"
"Sorry, it's not a question of whether I believe it or not."
After his light purple eyes flickered twice, the director of the Cleanup Bureau replied calmly:
“Unlike the private creation just now, since this time it involves the safety of the Watchtower Palace, there is no room for negotiation.
Whether it is you, other directors, or me as the director, as long as you are accused and the accuser produces certain evidence, you must prove yourself immediately.
If you cannot prove your innocence, you will need to directly accept memory reading... Director Aquarius, do you have anything else to say in defense of this accusation?"
"Nothing."
After taking a look at Leon who was standing beside the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, Director Aquarius said calmly:
“Bring the God-level Brain Eater here. I choose to accept the memory reading directly... In addition, I am very curious about why the Virgin Branch is so concerned about me.
Not only did he connect with the six branch directors and question me as a director, he even risked releasing the imprisoned evil god and forcibly contacted the material used to perform the abnormal creation secret technique..."
"I am the God of Enlightenment! You damned person is the material! Just let me out..."
He crossed his fingers and pressed them slightly. He didn't know what method he used to make the God of Enlightenment shut up. Then Director Aquarius looked at the red-haired director from afar and said meaningfully:
"Olivia, if after my memory is read, it is confirmed that I did nothing, can you also undergo a memory read? And besides you..."
"Why?"
After hearing what Director Aquarius said, before he could finish, Director Beverly of the Lion Bureau could not help but stood up and angrily shouted:
"Even if you didn't do the first questioning, you are still responsible for it. The second question involved the Palace of Overwatch. Olivia didn't do anything suspicious. Why did she have her memory read?"
"If there is any suspicious behavior, then she did it, and more than one."
After glancing at Beverly, Director Aquarius said expressionlessly:
“The Bohua family, who had attempted to overthrow the royal family, should have all been executed according to the kingdom’s laws, but Emma Alman, who originally did not meet the standards, was taken into the Virgin Branch by her, who allowed her to secretly plot revenge and covered up for her several times.
In addition, last month she recruited Leon Ryan, who also did not meet the hiring criteria of the Cleanup Bureau but had the right to inherit the title, to the Virgin Branch and sent him to Ryan Manor to carry out an investigation mission.
The result of that investigation mission was the incident called Ryan's Bloody Night. Almost all the senior members of the Lionheart family died, and there was no one to inherit the duke's title. Through a series of coincidences, the third-level cleaner she hired as an exception took the title."
At this point, Director Aquarius paused for a moment, and then, amid the thoughtful looks of the branch directors, he added meaningfully:
“In addition, Tom Linus, a first-level disaster handler of the Virgin Branch who had a record of expelling a true god alone, disappeared from the General Administration’s surveillance for a short time after completing the cleanup mission for the abnormal incident at Blood Pine Ridge.
Tom Linus's strongest abnormal ability happens to be a pair of dice that can create coincidences, making all impossible things 60% likely, and the time when he escaped from the General Administration's surveillance coincided with the time when Leon Ryan obtained the title of Duke. "
After finishing these words, looking at the red-haired director with a frown on his face, Director Aquarius continued:
“I discovered these problems when I was tracking down my own clones. In recent years, my clones have frequently appeared in the capital, cultivating a force called the Rebellion Party, attempting to completely overthrow the royal family. And you are suspected of deliberately gathering the heirs of the old nobles.
Therefore, I have reason to suspect that you have had contact with my replica and received some benefits from him, or simply reached some extremely dangerous cooperation, which is why you question me so resolutely and always produce evidence that is difficult for me to refute. "
Under the suddenly sharp gaze of the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, Director Aquarius said leisurely:
"Olivia, are the doubts I raised enough for you to accept the memory reading?"
"..."
……
Strange... Why did Director Aquarius bring this up? Was he "struggling to his death" or did he really have some trump card that would allow him to survive the memory readout?
He glanced in the direction of the Director of the Cleaning Bureau, and after noticing the change in the Director's expression, the red-haired Director couldn't help but rub his frowned brows. Although he didn't know what Aquarius was going to do, he could only nod slightly and agree:
"Okay, I agree to have my memory read.
But I must be ranked after you. If I can prove that there is no copy, or if you are really plotting against the Overwatch Palace, then my memory reading must be cancelled!"
"Not only you, but also this Level 3 Incident Handler needs to have his memory read."
After raising his hand and pointing in the direction of Leon, Director Aquarius smiled and said, looking at this troublesome guy who had been ignored by him in the past but caught Nathan within two days and delivered the key evidence in time:
"Considering the close relationship between him and you, if I am proven to be innocent, he will also have to undergo memory reading."
"I object. This matter has nothing to do with Leon!" The red-haired director couldn't help but tense up when he heard this, and objected:
“He has only been in the Virgin Branch for a month. If his memory really needs to be read, I will be the one to do it.
In addition, except for the bloody night of Ryan, Leon has been conscientious and responsible in every mission he has carried out, and has completed it very well. He even has a record of killing a holy spirit.
Having his memory read by a god-level brain-eating demon is equivalent to being forcibly infected by a true god, which will definitely affect his mental stability. For a cleaner with such great potential, it is undoubtedly a..."
"His mind doesn't need to be infected. It's already very unstable."
After interrupting the red-haired director, Director Aquarius said calmly:
“I have carefully read his files. The two investigators sent by the General Administration after Ryan’s bloody night gave very interesting comments about him.
They all agreed that this Level 3 cleaner was extremely dangerous, had ideas that were stubborn to the point of being insane, and was hiding many dangerous secrets in his heart, so they recommended that the General Administration conduct close monitoring.
In addition, in order to find evidence to bring me down, he has also come into contact with the God of Enlightenment. There is a possibility that he is controlled or even parasitized by the God of Enlightenment. Accepting memory reading with you may be considered as a protection for him..."
Protect your mom!
Looking at the huge cage that was crawling out from the underground in the center of the venue, and the brain-eating demon in the cage that looked more disgusting than a lamprey, Leon's scalp went numb at the thought that if he accepted the memory reading, this thing would lick his brain grooves with its tongue.
If this can be called protection, then I really hope that you will be protected by the Cleanup Bureau for the rest of your life!
……
Even more unfortunate was that even though the red-haired director had repeatedly argued, after hearing Director Aquarius' proposal, the director of the Cleanup Bureau still showed an interested look, especially when he heard that Leon might be controlled by the God of Enlightenment, he narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
On one hand, there is the possibility that the God of Enlightenment could escape, and on the other hand, there are the Level 3 cleaners who are "supposedly" very promising. For a director who wants the Cleanup Bureau to be as stable as possible, the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.
If the person who spoke out against it was not Olivia, who possessed two numbered-level anomalies and whose combat power was among the best among the directors, but a director of another branch, he might have already made the final decision.
"Your Excellency Taurus!"
Seeing that the Director of the Cleanup Bureau seemed to be convinced, the red-haired Director had no choice but to look at the somewhat hesitant Director Taurus and try to ask for help:
“You have met Leon and even helped him create anomalies. You should be aware of his potential. Being influenced by a true god-level existence so early will definitely hurt his spirit. If he really needs to have his memory read, I can do it!”
"really……"
Director Jinniu hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"That child has great potential, and he has a stable personality and a smart mind. In the future, he will most likely become a first-class cleaner, or even take over the position of a branch director and become a force that protects humanity. It would be a pity for him to have his memory read so early.
Apart from anything else, after being contaminated by the True God-level demon, the [Holy Spirit Pendant] I made for him will inevitably be affected, and its effect will likely be reduced by more than half, which is equivalent to cutting off his future in advance."
"Even if his future is cut off in advance, what will happen?"
After Director Taurus finished speaking, Director Aquarius lowered his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently:
"Mr. Taurus, on one side there is the risk of the God of Enlightenment escaping, and on the other side there is just a Level 3 cleaner who has not yet fulfilled his potential. I don't think there is any comparison."
"but……"
"Okay, stop talking."
After twisting his body slightly, the director of the Cleanup Bureau spoke slowly:
"The flow of time on my side has begun to slow down, and I don't have much time left to contact you. The most important thing right now is the safety of the Watchtower Palace, so I made a decision directly.
Next, Director Aquarius will undergo a memory reading first. If there are any problems, it goes without saying. If there are no problems after the reading, then Olivia must accept the reading.
And if Olivia has no problem with the memory reading, then the cleaner named Leon can be exempted from the memory reading... Director Aquarius, please!"
