Chapter 956 Ointment
Chapter 956 Ointment (Part )
"Ok?"
Seeing Director Ophiuchus suddenly change the subject and start to reprimand him for his thoughts on the Cleanup Bureau, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I don't!"
Okay, it’s urgent indeed.
After staring at Director Sheif's explosive roar and the leaking heart lake, Leon couldn't help but blink his eyes, and then said with enlightenment:
"You seem... really don't want me to continue the topic just now?"
"?!"
"So besides that half of the reins, you did something else to me?"
"?!!"
"Isn't it something like the [Balance of Truth]? After a debate, the loser has to pay a price, or even be enslaved by the other party?"
"?!!!"
"Okay, I understand."
He got it! He got it!
Looking at Director Sheif's heart that was about to collapse, Leon couldn't help but pull up the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a kind smile in his desperate expression.
"Then let's talk about the Cleanup Bureau instead!"
what?
"I do have many ideas about how to transform the present world, such as resource allocation, environmental transformation, political system change, consciousness construction, conflict resolution... and so on."
After counting on his fingers, Leon said with a smile:
"But these are just assumptions. There is no guarantee that my ideas are correct. They must be strictly verified and improved. If I force them, there may be problems. So let's change the subject... By the way, what kind of organization do you think the Cleanup Bureau is?"
"The Cleanup Bureau...is the guardian of humanity!"
Seeing that Leon had actually given up his "advantage" and did not continue to pursue him, the frightened Director Ophiuchus could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said righteously:
“Although I think the Cleanup Bureau is rotten, not only is its strength declining from generation to generation, but even now it is hesitant, outdated and incompetent, and is completely unworthy of the status of the Watchers of Humanity.
But the relative stability maintained for thousands of years in the past proves that there is no big problem with the Cleansing Bureau model itself, it just needs some "blood transfusion", so your idea of overthrowing the Cleansing Bureau is definitely wrong! If there is no Cleansing Bureau..."
"When did I ever say I wanted to destroy the entire Cleanup Bureau?"
"???"
In the puzzled eyes of Director Shefu, Leon patiently explained:
"What I'm saying is that there's no need to take over the Cleanup Bureau's business. This doesn't mean to completely eliminate the Cleanup Bureau, but to change the current model of completely isolating ordinary people from the outside and try to get ordinary people involved."
"Let ordinary people also...are you crazy?!"
The snake husband couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and then he asked in shock and anger:
"Do you know that a senior in the bureau has done something like this before? Do you know what the consequences were? Do you know..."
"As for the eighth-generation Snake Director, I heard about him from His Excellency Taurus."
Lyon said calmly:
"He allowed the blood moon to shine on the earth, generally increasing the Lyon value of a large number of citizens, hoping to train a group of cleanup bureaus, but as a result, a large number of vicious abnormal incidents occurred, causing extremely huge casualties. After that, similar things were stopped."
"Don't you know that?" "I do know that, but I think the problem is not that ordinary people have Lyon points, but that ordinary people's lives are too hard, so malignant anomalies with extreme effects are often born, and after gaining power, they will retaliate against society instead of trying to do something meaningful."
"How can you be sure it is..."
"Okay, the bureau is trying to verify this issue. Let's wait until the verification results come out before we talk. Let's talk about something else first."
After waving his hand to interrupt Director Shefu's words, Leon stared into his eyes and spoke in a calm voice:
"In your eyes, the Cleanup Bureau is the guardian of the human race. I admit that this statement makes sense, but have you ever thought about the cost of this 'watch'?"
"The price... is... to face the crisis head on?"
"The cost was a large number of dead and injured cleanup workers."
After looking at the somewhat dazed Director Snake, Leon began to explain:
"Among the more than 80 branches of the Cleanup Bureau, the big branches have 100 to 200 cleaners, and the small branches also have a dozen cleaners. The total number of cleaners at the highest point in history was less than 20,000.
And these few thousand cleaners are responsible for dealing with all kinds of anomalies born from the suffering of two billion people. Naturally, they are overwhelmed. In the two and a half months that I have been building the Underworld Branch alone, more than eighty cleaners have reported to me after their deaths.
According to this probability, the number of cleaners who die each year is about 400 to 500. So from the establishment of the Cleanup Bureau to the present, the number of cleaners who have died while on missions is probably close to 10 million.”
Tens of millions of people...are there so many?
"There really are so many, and I'm afraid that's still a small number."
Seeing the doubt in Director Ophimosis's expression, Leon continued:
"According to my statistics, although the number of cleaners has rebounded occasionally, the overall trend is actually decreasing. When only four of the Thirteen Kingdoms were established and the total population of the world was less than 600 million, the total number of cleaners was about 16,000.
But after the seventh kingdom was established and the Watchtower Palace was basically able to prevent the arrival of the true gods, the total number of cleaners began to decline year by year. The current population has tripled or quadrupled compared to the past, but the number of cleaners has shrunk to less than one-third of that time.
However, even when the third director was alive, during the best period of time, the annual casualties of cleaners remained above 6% all year round, and in the past few hundred years it has exceeded 10%, and is heading towards 11%, so the total number of casualties is definitely not less than that.”
"..."
There are so many...
Faced with the facts presented by Leon, Director Ophiu was silent for a while, then he refuted:
"But most of the dead should be second- and third-level cleaners, right? And they..."
"And many of them are criminals themselves. Joining the Cleanup Bureau is a way of atonement for their sins. If they can die to protect the human race, it can be considered a worthy death, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Yes, you can say that."
Leon glanced at Director Shefu, and then asked meaningfully:
"So the vital, meritorious, and indispensable 'watchers of humanity' that you mentioned are, in fact, a bunch of brutal criminals who deserved to die?
And the organization that you think is indispensable chooses to let a group of prisoners who have committed serious crimes, possess extreme abilities, and have extreme personalities stand at the forefront of all human beings and resist danger for the entire ethnic group?
Even those who survive among these "criminals" will eventually become branch directors, become twelve directors, and then gain terrifying power, becoming the actual controllers of the fate of all mankind as their own strength continues to grow?"
"?!!!"
Looking at the snake-husband director in front of him, whose eyes gradually widened, his mouth unconsciously opened wide, and a strange greasy fragrance began to emanate from his body, Leon couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart:
"To be honest, when I first discovered this, I felt that our human race had managed to survive until today. This was extremely lucky!"
