I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1058 - 975: Interception, Obstruction, and Success

"White serpent?"

Looking at the man with the white serpent mask sitting at the head of the table, the red phantom at the center of the bone long table, whose face was unclear, blinked its vertical pupils in some confusion and said:

"Before the Narration of Nonexistence was captured by the Cleaning Bureau, wasn't it said that a new pillar god appeared in the association, applying to become vice president? Why are you still acting as the manager?"

"..."

Hearing the red phantom's question, the face behind the white serpent mask stiffened slightly, then lowered its head respectfully and reported:

"Your Highness, Red King, the Thrush... His Excellency has frequently warned of his own [Disaster Avoidance] truth, so at the last assembly, he proactively suggested wanting to halt actions and cease all activities in the Western Carleighwen Kingdom.

But the actions of the association in the Western Carleighwen Kingdom have reached their final step, and after a vote, most members believed that this great opportunity should not be abandoned and we could entirely continue to attempt."

"And then?"

Upon hearing this, the red phantom floating in the center of the long table frowned, then asked in a slightly dissatisfied tone:

"Because you and he had differing opinions, he outright refused to participate in subsequent assemblies, even during such an important time as communicating with Old Soil, persistently refusing to attend?"

"Your Highness, Red King, the Thrush has his reasons for not attending."

After glancing at the red phantom's expression from the corner of his eye, the corners of the mouth under the white serpent mask couldn't help but curl up, then he opened his mouth to explain:

"Before the Thrush was promoted to pillar god, he was swallowed alive by the Food God of the Cleaning Bureau and was continually worn down by the power of fear under the control of the other side. He nearly died in the belly of the Food God, so he is quite wary of the Food God..."

He deliberately paused here, to let the red phantom understand that the word he wanted to use was not "wary," and then the white serpent continued to explain (and malign):

"Later, in the two actions in the Ice Plains Nation and Witch Nation, the Thrush encountered the Food God twice again. The first time, not only did he witness the snow wolf being devoured by the Food God, but he also got caught in the battle between the Food God and the Earth Sapling, nearly getting killed by the aftershocks of the two sides' fight.

As for the second time, he was trapped inside the [Bedtime Story] of the Narration of Nonexistence and was threatened and intimidated by the Food God multiple times. Later, he directly... withdrew early, narrowly escaping being brutally killed by the Food God."

In front of the big boss, after covertly revealing some of the black history of the current head of department, the white serpent, acting vice president, sincerely defended:

"After these several close escapes, the Thrush has become very cautious in his actions, directly refusing the invitation to cooperate from the deer representing the Overlords of the Dead Realm, successfully avoiding the Cleaning Bureau's slaughter of the Dead Realm.

Although later, the Cleaning Bureau overthrew the entire Dead Realm, slaughtering all the Overlords of the Dead Realm in one fell swoop and setting up an underworld branch, massively resurrecting deceased cleaners, the Thrush's [Disaster Avoidance] truth indeed helped us avoid the harm brought by the Food God.

So we still greatly respect the Thrush's opinion, only this time the opportunity was indeed too good, everyone's consensus was not to waste this favorable situation so it might have angered the Thrush by ignoring his well-intentioned reminder."

"..."

Alright then...

Having listened to the white serpent's tea-scented, even unbothered "explanation," the red phantom glanced around, scrutinizing the expressions of the members of the Slaughter King Association, then nodded helplessly.

It appears that the Thrush is not very popular... The white serpent is now openly complaining about him to me, yet everyone seems to agree, with no one stepping forward to say a word in his defense.

"If the Thrush is unwilling to come, then never mind. I'll let the white serpent convey what I have to say today afterward."

Understanding that the new vice president cannot command respect, the red phantom, who has a relatively mild temperament, did not say any more, tacitly allowing the white serpent to temporarily manage the Slaughter King Association, then with an unusually serious expression, announced:

"Recently, in the time vortex of Old Soil, we encountered members of the Cleaning Bureau. They clashed with our past selves in the Black King's palace, forcibly killing my past self and seizing a large fragment of [Lifespan], which should allow all present-day humans to live an extra forty-plus years.

So it is expected that before long, the virgin director and Scorpio director of the Cleaning Bureau will return to the present day with that [Lifespan] fragment, starting to help the entire human race extend their lifespan limit."

What?!

Hearing the red phantom's notification, the members of the Slaughter King Association couldn't help but erupt in an uproar, and the face of the white serpent drastically changed as well.

For a True God, theoretically possessing infinite lifespan, these forty years are insignificant, but for humans, with a maximum lifespan of just over a hundred and fifty years, these forty years are extraordinarily significant, enough to allow many cleaners to advance further!

Especially the Food God, at less than twenty years old, has already grown to his current degree, almost certainly destined to become another third-generation director in the future, and if a third-generation director who can live for a full two hundred years with the preferences of the Food God really appears...

Then this divine long table used for meetings can directly be renamed to the Food God's dining table!

Envisioning that terrifying future, the expressions of all the True Gods present tensed up, and those True Gods who had once been executed by Leon turned ashen in an instant.
