Chapter 226 Reaction
"stop!"
Just as Director Aquarius evacuated hastily and the [Time Gap] was completely closed, a large number of dazzling attacks arrived instantly.
The first thing that came to mind was an inexplicable sweet fragrance. Near the place where the middle-aged Joshua "opened the door", it was as if a sweet drizzle had just arrived. All kinds of desserts popped up like mushrooms after a spring rain and began to expand rapidly.
However, before these suddenly appearing sweets could successfully expand, hundreds of sea-blue tentacles as thick as an adult's waist grew out first, and waved wildly with the momentum of crushing everything, instantly crushing the sweets on the ground into colorful sugar mud. They were then cut and dissected by a large number of invisible sharp blades, and melted into balls of light pink dreams into splashes of water all over the sky.
Then, there were scarlet blood, sobbing whispers, golden rivers, nameless rings, pale puppets covered with thorns, kneeling demons with weeping blood in their eyes, masked and speechless corpses of martyrs, and a hideous evil moon reflected in a clear lake...
It was as if they were holding an abnormal expo. A large number of things that were obviously wrong at first glance appeared like a revolving lantern at the location where Director Aquarius fled, brutally destroying the abnormal abilities that arrived first, and were torn apart more brutally by attacks that arrived later than themselves.
Until the very end, the eye of the sun in the sky suddenly dimmed, and a shadow darker than the deepest night fell down, annihilating everything on the main stage. Only then did the various attacks of the Cleanup Bureau come to an end...
……
I'm crazy...
Looking at the main stage that was washed countless times in one second, Leon, who was dragged away by his own director in advance, couldn't help but shiver violently, and the clothes on his back were directly wet with cold sweat.
When the [Gate to the Other World] began to close, Leon was originally planning to pick up two more weights, but his right shoe suddenly turned into a wafer biscuit, and hundreds of tentacles covered with suction cups quietly emerged around him, and a familiar cluster of bright red hair quietly wrapped around his waist.
The director is planning to rescue me...so is it dangerous for me to continue staying here?
Although the [Time Gap] was not completely closed, Leon had enough speed to avoid the red hair and continue to pick up the weights on the ground, but out of trust in his own director, he still did not move, letting the director's hair entangle him, and then...
It was just a little bit more and that was it!
Lyon, who was pulled out by the director's red hair along with Prince Freckles and Senior Jerry, witnessed one attack after another coming down. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had resisted his greed.
Although these vicious people from the Cleanup Bureau could not catch the accelerated Aquarius Director, it would not be so easy for them to kill me. Looking at the covering and saturation attack that was like plowing the land, if I still stayed there to pick up weights, even if I had a thousand lives, I would lose them on the spot!
While Leon was still trembling with fear, the red-haired chief who had rescued the three people couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then nodded slightly to the chief of the Lion Branch and said:
"Thank you for your help, Beverly."
"Don't thank me. I almost made things worse."
Raising her hand and pointing at Leon's right foot, after the shoe that had been transformed into a cookie was transformed back into a cookie, Beverly, the director of the Lion Branch, explained with a slight apology:
“I originally wanted to turn the three of you into sweets. That way, even if you were torn apart by subsequent attacks, I could just add some sugar to the dough and mix it, then knead it again and you can be resurrected.
But there are more people who took action than I thought. The director even mobilized [Sunshade] to project downwards. If you are really turned into sweet food by me, I am afraid you will suffer a great punishment. "
"Thank you."
The red-haired chief insisted:
"My speed of attack was not that fast. If you hadn't helped and stopped some of the summoned [Sea Armadillos], I might not have been able to get them all out safely. This time I owe you... Also, don't think these people are too heavy-handed."
At this point, the red-haired director turned to look at the three people who were still in shock, and explained with a rather helpless look: "The first few who attacked, even if they really wanted to try to spare you, they were a little heavy-handed, but they also held back their strength on your position, so I was able to withstand so many attacks and barely pull you out.
As for those who took action later, they actually avoided you on purpose, so it’s better to say that they were showing their loyalty and proving that they were not colluding with Director Aquarius rather than trying to keep you. Everyone was just pretending.”
"..."
After listening to the red-haired director's words, Leon thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what was going on.
This time the matter involved the Watchtower Palace, which touched the bottom line of the Cleanup Bureau. In addition, there was the sudden "rebellion" of the Gemini branch chief. Therefore, no matter how the Aquarius directors are dealt with later, the "pro-Aquarius faction" in the Cleanup Bureau will inevitably be subject to extremely strict scrutiny and crackdowns.
Therefore, even if the directors of these sub-bureaus knew that they would not be able to hit anyone, they still had to follow suit, especially those who might have benefited from Aquarius, to show their attitude of breaking with Aquarius and to make their own position clear to the headquarters, so as to avoid being targeted later...
As expected, taking sides is an eternal problem for human beings, and even organizations like the Cleanup Bureau are no exception.
……
"okay!"
The red-haired director was obviously not the only one who understood this. After waving his hand to dispel the dark shadows around him, he looked at the branch directors who were all following the trend and were quicker than the others to join the team. The director of the Cleanup Bureau shouted angrily with annoyance in his eyes:
"Don't bother with these useless things. The most important thing now is how to deal with the water... um..."
He lowered his head speechlessly, looking at the two-headed vicious...cute dog with one little head biting his trouser leg and the other little head barking at him. The director of the Cleanup Bureau could not help but say with a dark face:
"Whose anomaly is this? Take it back immediately!"
"Ah! It's mine!"
After shaking the dog bell in his hand desperately to call back the ferocious puppy that started to chew on the director's shoes, the acting director of the Tianqin Branch stood up, first apologized repeatedly with a red face, and then explained haltingly:
"I'm sorry, the director of our Tianqin Bureau and those first and second level seniors are all freezing in the polar regions right now. I'm the most senior person in the bureau, so Xinggong dragged me to attend the meeting...
Well... although I have a long history, my strength is actually average. I barely made it to the second level last month. I can't stand the suppression of abnormal objects by the General Administration, so I can only summon a puppy to support the situation. I'm sorry to make you laugh..."
"..."
It turned out to be the second-worst performance bureau, no wonder its performance was so low...
After waving his hand to indicate that it was okay and letting the acting director who came to make up the numbers sit down, the director of the Cleanup Bureau turned around and looked at a branch that ranked first (last) in performance, frowned and asked:
"Olivia, ask your people to tell us what happened just now. Why did the director of the Gemini Branch suddenly betray us?"
