I! Cleaner!-Chapter 756 - 691: Sun

Oh no!!!

After hearing the specifics of the second round of selection "exam question," Leon immediately felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat almost broke out.

For someone with memories of another world who knows what an unremarkable world looks like, this question isn’t just about giving away points, but more like splashing some ink on the paper and getting full marks.

However, if I perform too well...

Glancing at the thick and greasy lips of the Cancer Director, imagining the texture... Leon couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.

Not that, please!!!!

...

"Alright, you should all be prepared, right?"

Under Leon’s terrified gaze, the Cancer Director habitually licked his shiny luscious lips, then smiled while patting his round belly:

"I announce that the second round of the Cancer Palace secret technique selection begins now, specifically..."

After glancing at Leon’s tense expression, the Cancer Director strangely blinked, then raised his hand to summon:

"Leon, let’s start with you!"

"Uh..."

Upon hearing the Cancer Director’s words, Leon, who hadn’t finished preparing mentally, couldn’t help but feel startled and hurriedly shook his head:

"Mr. Cancer, I’m not ready yet. Can you put me a bit later?"

"..."

Watching Leon’s somewhat "timid" expression, the Cancer Director frowned slightly, lowering his expectations for him by two points.

If anomalies are bizarre things born from the desires of the human heart, then the twelve zodiac secret techniques that aim to drive, change, or even destroy anomalies are existences surpassing the mind and desires.

If one cannot perfectly control their mind and will, and their rationality is eroded by the fragility and hesitation of the human heart, the risk of bias or even losing control would sharply increase, possibly leading one down the mad path of the Aquarius Director.

What a pity.

Judging from past records, Leon should have high compatibility with Cancer’s secret technique, but based on current performance, his mind is far from strong enough, at least not proportionate to his talent.

"Okay, then wait a bit longer." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Slightly shaking his head internally, the Cancer Director, who had already dismissed Leon from selection, cheerfully agreed to his request and turned to another Cleaner.

"Then you start."

"Okay!"

The Cleaner selected by the Cancer Director responded and quickly walked over, even glancing at "the retreating" Leon with slight disdain as he passed by.

At this moment, Leon had no thoughts about how others viewed him. His eyes were fixed on the [Consciousness Ball], hoping to glean some "reverse-cheating" tips from others’ exams.

Indeed talented, but lacking the heart of a strong person, might not be of great use...

Seeing Leon’s increasingly tense expression, the Cancer Director, who kept observing him, lost all hope, then withdrew his focus and instructed the testing Cleaner to close their eyes, relax their mental defenses, and accept observation and analysis from the Crystal Ball.

"Hmm... not bad."

Seeing the [Consciousness Ball] briefly flicker twice before stabilizing, showing a brightness slightly higher than an oil lamp, the Cancer Director smiled, warmly praised:

"Congratulations, you’ve met the requirements to learn Cancer’s secret technique, and your cognitive stability is very high, and your distinguishing capability is good... Let me see."

Holding the mottled blue-green [Consciousness Ball], he turned and looked into it with his hollow eyes, and after a strange "look," the Cancer Director evaluated:

"Aside from the specific brightness, the purer the color emitted after the [Consciousness Ball] is activated, the closer it is to pure white, the clearer your cognition is. The order is roughly white, yellow, red, brown, green, blue, black.

Judging from the color of your [Consciousness Ball], your overall cognition of the boundary between anomalies and non-anomalies is good, but a bit vague in terms of order and emotion, so the color lacks purity, you may want to pay more attention to these aspects."

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Cancer."

The Cleaner who passed the test respectfully bowed, happily left, while the Cancer Director shifted his gaze to Leon and cheerfully asked:

"So? Are you ready?"

"..."

Definitely not...

Upon hearing the Sagitariot Director’s inquiry, Leon awkwardly returned a somewhat embarrassed expression.

His plan was to observe others’ exams, gather information about the [Consciousness Ball], and see if he could trigger [Materialism] to increase his resistance to this thing.

Unfortunately, the evaluation criteria given by the Cancer Director were quite strange. Despite listening carefully from start to end, aside from understanding the color grading, he still hadn’t gathered enough information to activate [Materialism].

"Then you go last."

With a slightly displeased shake of his head, the disappointed Cancer Director calmly turned around and summoned another Cleaner.

"Brightness is decent, but the blue-black color is still a bit low, and your cognition of the ocean has flaws... Are you a resident of the Thousand Sails Maritime Country? A truly anomaly-free ocean isn’t actually as familiar as you might think, getting used to this might benefit you."

"Green, pity the brightness isn’t enough, discernment capabilities are substandard."

"Hmm? The color is bright! Much stronger than the previous person by several times, but the blue-black color won’t do, your cognition of order and religion is heavily flawed."

"Too black, failed!"

"..."

Soon, the remaining Cleaners underwent the test one after another, leaving only Leon and Melly, and the female Cleaner, after a glance at Leon’s tense expression, took the initiative to walk over and place her hand on the [Consciousness Ball].

The light burst forth!

A blinding radiance, tinged with yellow, exploded in an instant like flames, as soon as she touched the Crystal Ball, the female Cleaner’s small hand was engulfed by extremely intense light, prompting everyone in the room to turn their heads as if directly gazing at the sun, unable to even open their eyes.

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

Seeing the sun-like dazzling Crystal Ball, the Cancer Director, the only one able to keep his eyes open, widened his hollow eyes and exclaimed "good" three times, his kind face flushed as if with fever, mixed with irrepressible joy.

"Perfect! Perfect!"

Excitedly, he repeated the evaluation twice, then laughed and clapped his hands:

"Back when I activated the brightness, it was less than half of yours, and the color barely had a hint of red, yet I was called a millennium genius by the previous Mr. Cancer.

And you! You have barely touched the threshold of yellow while being red! I can say now, the next Cancer Director must be you!"
