Chapter 319 Untitled
Why hasn’t my death-bringing crow come to me yet?
After hearing the red-haired chief's question, Leon's breathing couldn't help but stagnate slightly.
The most likely answer to this question is that he is a time traveler. He is not even from this world. Naturally, he would not react to the crow that announced the death of Leon in this world.
Secondly, there is the badge system that accompanies itself. Just like the toad of the Scale Gold Religion, no matter how it stimulates its power, it cannot buy itself. The ability of the Death Crow to predict the target's death may also be blocked by the badge system.
But whether it is his identity as a time traveler or the existence of the badge system, they are his biggest secrets and he cannot tell them no matter what. So how should he answer this question?
"To be honest, I'm not really sure..."
After hesitating for a while, looking at the red-haired director in front of him, who looked serious but not hostile, Leon finally chose to be honest with "partially" and answered:
"As for why the death-annoying crow didn't come, I have some vague guesses, but this involves some of my... um... secrets, so I don't really want to tell you, okay?"
"..."
Is it okay...do you think it's okay?
After hearing Leon's answer, the red-haired chief almost laughed out loud.
According to what the crocodile just said, you are now suspected of being an "Old Country spy"! There is a high possibility that you are an Old Country person who has infiltrated the Cleanup Bureau and is preparing to do something bad!
Although I haven't been very competent in these years, I am still the director of the Virgin Branch of the Cleanup Bureau, a genuine senior official of the Cleanup Bureau! And you didn't explain anything at all, and just said you had a secret that you didn't want to tell, and you want to fool me?
"no!"
After glaring at Leon unhappily, the red-haired chief said angrily:
"Do you really think I will unconditionally accommodate you? The crocodile has told me everything you said to the goddess of wealth. Do you know how serious this matter is?
According to the rules of the bureau, just because you are suspected of being an Old Earthman, I should arrest you immediately, tie you up and send you to the headquarters, and let that god-level brain-eating demon lick your brains!"
……
Phew... looks like I should be able to pass!
After his "unreasonable request" was sternly rejected by the red-haired director, looking at her pretty face with a hint of annoyance, Leon was not anxious at all. Instead, he suddenly relaxed a lot.
If the director really suspected her and thought that she might be up to something bad, then given her working style, she would definitely take the person down first and use all the means she could.
But now, not only did she give me the opportunity to explain, even after I gave up explaining, she still did not arrest anyone directly. Instead, she scolded me for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and threatened to tie me up and let the brain-eating demon lick my brain. These actions proved that things had not reached that point.
And if he had not chosen to tell the truth just now, but instead tried to deceive people by being cunning, he would most likely not be able to hide it from the director who was not drinking, and would probably be directly exposed by her, making the situation worse.
"If it's so serious... then should I talk a little more?"
After raising his hand and making a little gesture, Leon said tentatively:
"Director, you know that my ability is recorded in the file as forcing information about abnormal objects through touch, but in fact, my ability is more special..."
"..."
“…” That’s it?
After waiting for a long time without any response, the red-haired director's face suddenly turned dark when he saw the "a little bit" gesture made by Leon.
So you said just a little bit, but you really only said a little bit!
"That... this is just one of the possibilities..."
After seeing the red-haired chief's increasingly unfriendly expression, Leon could only add cautiously:
"Besides this, there is another possibility, which is my background. I am not actually Anna's biological brother. It's because of that family photo..."
"From what you said...Since there shouldn't be a person named Leon Ryan, there shouldn't be a corresponding death-revenge crow?"
After listening to Leon's description of the situation at "Warm Home", the red-haired chief frowned and said:
"But this is just your one-sided guess. Moreover, the ability of the anomaly has changed. Now we can't even test it. Isn't it the same as saying nothing?"
"Anyway, I've said everything I can say!"
After trying his best not to lie and barely finding two excuses to stuff in, Leon spread his hands and said in a very humble manner:
"I'm not sure why I didn't report the death of the crow. Even these are just guesses. But I know that I'm definitely not some old native who infiltrated the Cleanup Bureau and wanted to cause trouble. These are all her own guesses. I haven't admitted a single word."
Anyway, Director, if you believe me, then choose one of these two to believe in. If you don't believe me, then tie me up and take me to the headquarters, and let that god-level brain-eating demon lick my brain. It's up to you whichever you choose!"
"..."
It's up to me to choose. What else can I choose?
You took such a big risk this time, even confronted the real God directly, and rescued Emma who was captured because of my mistake. Can I still report you to the higher-ups for some nonsense?
Besides, even if I could really be cruel enough to send you to be licked by the brain-eating demon, the General Administration has been completely closed off to all entry and exit. Would I still take you to fly more than 70,000 kilometers and break into the General Administration to torture you?
This little bastard! He was so sure that he wouldn't do that that he didn't even want to pretend!
After glaring at Leon who was just starting to move, the red-haired chief said with a straight face:
"Don't think you can get away with it like this! I will remember this! And write a good report on the cleanup operation this time!
However, because the relevant doubts have not been clarified yet, let’s forget about the old people and temporarily write it according to the Goddess of Wealth... ahem... just write it according to what she said, just write that the Lord of Desire and Dreams sneak attacked the Goddess of Wealth, and you just managed to escape.
Also, remember to write the previous process in detail, but don't write about what happened in the end.
After all, you have never seen the Lord of Desire and Dreams. I am afraid that what you wrote is not accurate enough and misleads the examiner of the General Administration, so please submit the report as soon as possible and let me review it for you and fill in the details first. Do you hear me?"
Yes, yes, yes, I really need someone to review it!
Knowing that he had completely passed this test, Leon couldn't help but respond with a smile, saying that he would write a good action report this time to ensure that no details would be missed.
Seeing the relaxed smile on his face, the red-haired director who had failed to find out the truth could not help but curl his lips, and then asked with a little displeasure:
"For Emma's sake, I won't ask you about your secrets. Just keep them to yourself.
Also, I heard from that crocodile that the Holy Spirit pendant that Mr. Taurus made for you was directly destroyed by the Goddess of Wealth?"
