I! Cleaner!-Chapter 757 - 692: Pure White

I... am I going to become a Cancer Director?

Seeing the Cancer Director’s face full of ecstatic joy, the petite female Cleaner couldn’t help but be taken aback. Her delicate little face was soon also coated with a tint of happiness.

"Thank you, Mr. Cancer!"

After happily bowing to the Cancer Director, the female Cleaner withdrew her palm from the Crystal Ball. As she watched the brilliant red slowly fade, she couldn’t help but curiously ask:

"Mr. Cancer, if my red with yellow is good, then what about the yellow and white people? What are they like?"

"Those are just theoretical colors, according to human cognition, it’s impossible to achieve."

Upon hearing the female Cleaner’s question, the Cancer Director waved his hand with a kindly expression and explained:

"To achieve pure white, you need to have extremely precise cognition regarding time and space, celestial bodies’ movements, world order, social history, human nature’s good and evil, religious beliefs, geography, and culture... Each of these aspects, practically requires a person’s lifetime dedication to study.

Moreover, to achieve pure white without any mixed colors, you must completely remove every trace associated with [Anomalies] from these immensely complex things, leaving not even the slightest trace behind. The difficulty of doing so is almost equivalent to creating a new world without anomalies."

After recounting the conditions needed for achieving pure white, the Cancer Director chuckled lightly and said:

"Pure white is just an ideal upper limit. As far as I know, even the one who designed the [Consciousness Ball], hailed as the strongest Cancer Director throughout the generations, could only manage a yellow tinged with a very fine thread of white.

And this hint of yellow-white was measured only after he was over one hundred and twenty years old, having nearly traversed the entirety of the Star Sea. If he had used the Consciousness Ball when first learning the Cancer secret technique, he probably wouldn’t have been any better than you."

So... am I possibly the most talented Cancer Director ever?

After hearing the Cancer Director’s words, the female Cleaner felt a slight floating sensation beneath her feet. Immediately, she raised her blushing little face, overjoyed, and glanced at Leon.

So, I haven’t lost entirely to him; at least regarding the Cancer secret technique, I still have an advantage! I am still the genius who Baltro calls the most talented!

"Alright, it’s your turn."

Following the female Cleaner’s gaze, the Cancer Director saw Leon, who was still holding back, and his high spirits slightly waned. He then waved at him with a calm expression:

"Come test it out, you’re the last one."

"..."

Upon hearing the Cancer Director’s words, Leon’s cheeks twitched involuntarily.

While others were being tested just now, he had been diligently trying to disrupt his own cognition in hopes of muddling through. However, right when the Cancer Director answered a question, he listed out time and space, celestial movements, world order... directly creating a list.

And with such an enumeration, the knowledge his cognition had painstakingly muddled immediately categorized itself in a clear and organized manner, revealing that there was simply no way he could muddle past now.

...

"How about... I just don’t test?"

After taking a deep breath, Leon sincerely suggested:

"Melly’s talent is outstanding, while mine is just barely passable. But there’s only one position as Cancer Director, so testing me would be a waste of time, thus..."

"Come here!"

Seeing Leon still trying to refuse at this point, the Cancer Director frowned discontentedly before lifting his hand slightly and utilizing the Star Palace’s authority to control Leon’s body to float over. Then, he picked up the [Consciousness Ball] and pressed it against Leon’s forehead...

Doomed!!!

Feeling a slight coolness on his forehead, Leon’s entire body instantaneously tensed up, quickly shouting a warning:

"Close your eyes!"

"..."

"..."

???

After two seconds of silence with no movement, Leon couldn’t help but open his eyes in astonishment and then found the [Consciousness Ball] had already left his forehead, and...

Nothing had happened.

"Pfft."

Looking at the lackluster, dim [Consciousness Ball], barely even as bright as a match, and then at Leon’s clueless expression, the strained Cleaners burst into laughter.

"Ahahahaha!"

"Quick, close your eyes! Hahaha!"

"Oh my gosh, I can’t take it!"

"..."

Could it be...was I wrong? Memories from other worlds don’t count?

"It’s... it’s okay... pfft..."

After biting his lips several times, finally suppressing his laughter, the female Cleaner looked at the somewhat embarrassed Leon and forcibly pursed her lips to comfort him:

"You don’t have to... don’t... ahaha... don’t mind them, you... you... you were just kindly reminding us."

"..." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

No way... how could I have known it would turn out like this!

This guy is really...

Glancing at Leon’s embarrassed face, the Cancer Director shook his head once again, then picked up the [Consciousness Ball] to his eyes, gazed at the extremely tiny white dot in the center of the Crystal Ball, prepared to make a casual evaluation.

Wait! White?!!!

At the very instant the Cancer Director’s eyes widened suddenly, the dim [Consciousness Ball] glowed slightly, and then actually vaporized on the spot, with an incomprehensible bright white light exploding with unimaginable heat!

If the brightness of what the female Cleaner showed was akin to observing the sun from the ground, then the current blinding white light was like pulling the sun down from the sky and violently pouring it into the Cancer Director’s eyes!

"What’s this..."

Accompanied by a startled shout, the Cancer Director’s plump body was instantly swallowed by the white light, while Leon, realizing the trouble, immediately pulled out the [Silver Dagger of Cutting] and sliced fiercely at the white light before him.

Amidst the bewildered expressions of the Cleaners, the vast space within Cancer Palace was "cut" into a small area that shielded those around the dining table, as the world beyond the table had already been completely filled with the purest white, offering no trace of any other color.

(ﾟｰﾟ)

(ﾟｰﾟ)

(ﾟｰﾟ)

White, so white...

Except for the heavily panting Leon, the only thing all the Cleaners participating in the selection could do was stiffly stand still like a dozen statues, blankly staring at the white world around them.

Not until about a minute later did the clean yet terrifying extreme purity of white fade from the Cancer Palace, revealing the Cancer Director standing in place with a posture still holding the ball, entirely blackened.

"Click"

The slightly carbonized fingertips subconsciously tightened and then loosened twice, confirming the [Consciousness Ball], handed down through millennia, had completely vanished. The Cancer Director then slowly turned his head, with two streams of bloody tears spilling down from the sides of his hollow eyes.

"You’re incredible..."
