I! Cleaner!-Chapter 444 - 382: Copping a Feel

What... what on earth did he dream of?

Looking at the capital city which was blown up with a single shot by the golden-haired Leon, leaving not even ruins behind, the old investigator’s mouth twitched hard twice.

And beside him, the female reporter who noticed something was wrong hurried back within the range covered by the Dream Wandering Lantern, avoiding the strike just now, was even more frightened, her face going pale.

Even if it was merely a fabricated dream, the destructive power capable of wiping out a city instantly was somewhat exaggerated, many numbered anomalies might not have such power, and going against him with one’s head?

...

"Why are you guys hiding?"

After crazily bombing the two people retreating back within the lantern’s range and finding that any attack would disappear once touching the light emitted by the lantern, Leon, understanding the area around the lantern is a "safe zone," stopped the meaningless bombardment and started sarcastically:

"You said you’d spare my life, is this how you do it?"

"..."

"Didn’t you say I’m just a straw man? Then come out~"

"..."

"Don’t be cowardly, come out, at worst I’ll let you have one hand!"

"..."

What’s the use of letting one hand? If it weren’t for the safe zone marked out by the Dream Wandering Lantern, the two of us would have been blasted away along with the capital with that one strike!

Looking at Leon, whose whole body is shining golden light wildly, flying randomly in the sky at an extremely terrifying speed, mocking as he flew, the old investigator’s face darkened, then, with a somber face, started to shake the Dream Wandering Lantern, preparing to withdraw from this absurd dream.

This damn guy, who knows what kind of bizarre setup he gave himself, not only destroyed the capital with one strike but even when flying, he brought along sonic boom clouds! And judging by his movements, if not for his own reaction speed lagging behind, he might be much faster than now.

Can’t fight! This really cannot be fought!

"Don’t go~"

Seeing the old investigator hiding in the "safe zone" shaking the lantern fiercely, Leon simply landed, inviting warmly through the lantern’s light:

"Come out and play? Don’t worry, this time I definitely won’t kick your balls!"

???

Damn, you dare mention it?

Upon hearing the reporter’s breath caught abruptly, the old investigator’s face turned slightly red, gritting his teeth unable to resist:

"If this isn’t your dream, how could a third-level Cleaner like you..."

"I am unworthy."

Without hesitation admitting he’s no match, Leon raised a leg with a grin through the dim light:

"But I kicked your balls."

"..."

"That was because in the Virgo branch!"

Feeling the reporter’s increasingly strange gaze beside him, the old investigator took a deep breath, then with eyes freezing over, said coldly:

"If it weren’t for the Scarlet Hair Lady being not far from you, worrying it might expose your identity prematurely, I would have..."

"I kicked more than one time."

"..."

Damn it, I shouldn’t have started bantering with him! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Seeing Leon outside the lantern kicking the air whimsically hinting at something, the old investigator closed his eyes directly, then shook the lantern in his hand hard, causing the capital city flattened by Leon to tremble slightly.

Keep calm, don’t get provoked by him!

My soul is severely damaged, there aren’t many means I can deploy, must reserve them to limit the troublesome Scarlet Hair Lady, definitely can’t waste on him, nor use in this fake dream.

"We’ll meet again!"

Coldly glancing at Leon, the old investigator turned the handle of the Dream Wandering Lantern, moving the flame representing Leon’s dream away from the center of the lamp.

"Three days."

Before the golden hedgehog-haired version of Leon disappeared along with the capital, the old investigator said expressionlessly:

"Even if you tell the Scarlet Hair Lady about today’s event, it doesn’t matter, in three days, I will make everything... you?!"

"Let me touch!"

Stepping within the range covered by the lantern, Leon whose hair instantly reverted to black, under the old investigator’s dumbfounded expression, slapped his wrinkled old forehead.

"Feels awful... bye-bye!"

As the old investigator’s eyes widened, taking out a bright red Token intending to stop him, Leon having achieved his goal immediately relaxed the suppression on his self-consciousness, forcibly leaving the dream amidst the escalating anger of the black goat beside him.

...

"Wake the hell up!"

"Damn it! Sleeping like a dead pig!"

"I’m truly convinced! Bring the kettle over!"

"You’re laughing! I’ll make you laugh!"

"Anyway, you’re the one who made us do it, you damn wait! We... cough cough cough, finally you’re awake."

Seeing Leon lying on the carpet finally opened his eyes, the black goat breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly signaled young Ha to put away the already opened kettle lid, then asked with a concerned face:

"I just found your soul a bit too excited, worried you might’ve fallen into some ambush, luckily no accident... who on earth was snooping on Joshua’s dream? Also, how do you feel now?"

"..."

I feel okay now, but if I hadn’t woken up just now, were you planning to pour boiling water on me?

Glancing at it speechlessly, since it was his own instruction to wake him immediately upon detecting any abnormality, Leon didn’t say much more, instead swiftly got up from the carpet and grabbed the goat’s head in his hand.

"No time to explain... let’s go! Get back to the bureau quickly!"

???

"What happened?"

Being dragged by Leon, hastily leaving Joshua’s room, the confused goat head couldn’t help but ask:

"What did you dream of just now? Why the rush?"

"No choice but to hurry! I just discovered the Aquarius Director is still alive! And it’s actually that old investigator I kicked!"

"Ah?"

...

"It can’t be!"

Upon hearing the news that the Aquarius Director is still alive, the red-haired director, awakened from a dream, shook his head, brows furrowing tightly:

"I saw it with my own eyes, Aquarius Director’s soul went deep into the Realm of the Dead, even if not completely dead, he surely can’t return in a short time... I even cut a part of his soul to make a pair of gloves for you."

"The Aquarius Director you saw is real, but he’s only a part of the real Aquarius Director!"

Recalling the information he got from touching the Aquarius Director’s forehead, Leon explained gravely:

"Aquarius Director’s soul split into good and evil long ago. The one we encountered was just his part representing evil, obsession, recklessness.

While the part carrying his kindness and compassion, more positive traits, joined the Clean-up Bureau under another identity, that’s the old investigator named Camus!"
