I! Cleaner!-Chapter 741 - 676: Countermeasures and Class Begins

Chapter 741: Chapter 676: Countermeasures and Class Begins

"Ahem, perhaps it’s not as ridiculous as it sounds."

Seeing the members of the Slaughter King Association suddenly fall silent, the man wearing the White Snake mask couldn’t help clearing his throat before beginning his explanation to everyone:

"Dongya was almost taken out, so he’s emotionally unstable. Plus, Leon extracted some Fear Authority from the King of Nightmares, and Dongya was consumed by it, probably wounded by the Fear Authority. That’s why he’s so frightened."

"No! You have no idea what’s going on!"

After hearing the White Snake mask man’s judgment, the Raven Masked Man, enveloped in an aura of fear, couldn’t help but protest:

"That Leon, he’s absolutely abnormal, you know! I’ve never seen a Cleaner like him all these years! Especially when he emerged from the darkness, that feeling was truly..."

"Enough!"

Watching the Raven Masked Man gesticulating with frustration, almost swearing an oath, the White Snake shook his head speechlessly, then raised a hand to gesture for silence.

"You’ve been injured by his [Fear] Authority, your judgment now is abnormal, calm down, and we’ll talk when you’ve healed!"

"No! Why don’t you believe me?"

Noticing the White Snake hadn’t grasped the terrifying nature of Leon, the Raven Masked Man, growing more anxious, shouted:

"I swear on my position as a formal member of the Slaughter King Association! That Leon, he absolutely... Um! Mmm!"

With a gentle swipe across Dongya’s mouth, removing his entire vocal apparatus, the White Snake clapped his hands in annoyance:

"Alright, let’s let Dongya calm down, and continue discussing Leon.

According to the information collected by me and the Deer, this person has been in the Clean-up Bureau for less than four months, yet he’s already reached the level of a seasoned Second-level Cleaner, and he possesses some very peculiar abnormal objects.

While extremely difficult to kill, if he’s surrounded by a significant number of other Cleaners, he can even soar to about the level of an ordinary True God, posing a lethal threat to more than half of those present."

At this point, the White Snake mask man deliberately paused, then raised three fingers, emphasizing:

"But what I need to notify everyone is not how dangerous he is now, but the fact that he evolved from a completely ignorant ordinary human to his current state in just three months."

Three months to rival a True God...

Upon hearing the White Snake mask man’s emphasis, the expressions of the Slaughter King Association members immediately became serious.

Although for those naturally gifted Cleaners, the threshold before reaching True God is practically negligible, transitioning from ordinary human to surpassing the difference between man and god typically requires at least a dozen years. Otherwise, it’s easy to descend into madness under the influence of abnormal objects.

Even with exceptional talent like the Scarlet Hair Lady, it took over six years of tempering to finally touch the threshold of a True God, yet Leon’s evolution speed is nearly thirty times faster!

Thirty times faster than the Scarlet Hair Lady!

Given the human maximum lifespan of approximately 150 years, he still has over 130 years to grow, and it took only three months for him to briefly rival a True God. What will his situation be in 130 years time?

"It seems you understand what I mean."

Scanning the silent members of the Slaughter King Association, the White Snake mask man spoke with a serious expression:

"I won’t say much more. Since at the level contamination that only reaches Second-level Cleaner, this person can bear True God level power without suffering a mental collapse, it means that ordinary True God far from marks his limit.

Before reaching the Column God level, his growth might not encounter any barriers. Given time, with gradual absorption of abnormal objects’ contamination, at worst, he’s another Scarlet Hair Lady, and possibly reaching the level of the present Aries Director, or even the third-generation Director of the Clean-up Bureau."

"Hiss..."

"When the third-generation Director of the Clean-up Bureau was still alive, everyone knows what our lives were like, right? Even those who didn’t experience it should know how their ’predecessor’ met their end."

Looking at the widespread fear following this remark, the White Snake mask man narrowed his eyes and spoke:

"At that time, anyone below the Column God who caught the third-generation Director’s eye of the Clean-up Bureau could be tossed into his pot, manipulated at his will, with no room for resistance.

Between ages 135 until before his death, the four major and nine minor main planes revolving around the present world were basically the Clean-up Bureau’s back garden. The True Gods within were like grains in a wheat field, harvested whimsically.

Even this one who achieved monstrous True God strength with just a small remnant of posthumous conviction didn’t touch the threshold between man and god until nearly six months after joining the Clean-up Bureau, evolving slower than Leon, with a talent even less exceptional than his.

So once we breach the Watcher’s Palace, no need for me to elaborate on what everyone should do, right?"

...

"Leon, you must be extra careful!"

Seeing Leon’s slightly glowing arm, the Red-haired Director’s grip on the wine bottle involuntarily trembled, quickly pressing down on the glowing Leon with concern, advising:

"During this selection, learn the secret techniques of the other Palaces as much as you like, the more the better. But when you reach the Taurus Palace, absolutely do not act, just listen. Do NOT refine any abnormal objects!

Mr. Taurus, when ascending the Palace, had her humanity in her soul constantly stripped away, barely reuniting it after struggling back. Now her soul is in disarray, in a very poor state, really can’t bear stimulation anymore!"

"Hmm..."

Seeing the director’s worry-stricken face as if he were preparing to deliver food in a cement mixer, Leon nodded helplessly.

"Once at the Taurus Palace, I’ll stay at the back, definitely won’t approach Mr. Taurus, just listen without speaking, is that okay?"

"Yes, yes, that’s the best!"

After receiving Leon’s promise, the Red-haired Director heaved a sigh of relief, coughed dryly, and sheepishly commented:

"Um... Leon, it’s not that I don’t trust you, mainly..."

"Alright, Director, no need to explain, I understand your point!"

Fastening his jacket buttons, fully covering the electric sparks from his wool sweater, Leon, with a stern face, urged:

"Let go quickly, Director. The Sagittarius mark has been jumping for half a day now."

"Alright then..."

With a reluctant expression, the Red-haired Director released Leon’s arm, and Leon, now "eager to act," immediately shone brightly before instantly vanishing from the office.

After struggling through a dizzying twist, Leon barely managed to stand firm, discovering himself standing in the center of a spacious stone tablet square, surrounded by sixty to seventy rather familiar faces gazing at him with fear.

Well, there are so many suitable for Sagittarius’ secret techniques, and... seems like more than half of them have been consumed?
