I! Cleaner!-Chapter 764 - 699: The Directors’ Whereabouts
Should we recall all the directors...
Upon hearing Leon's inquiry, the four directors exchanged glances, then glanced at each other again, and... started glaring at each other even more intensely. After glaring, their eyebrows began to move as well.
With animated expressions, exchanging glances, lowering their eyebrows in disdain, and furrowing their brows in discontent... The time for the four directors seemed to accelerate; four pairs of eyes and eight eyebrows danced wildly, sometimes they barely finished one expression before the next one eagerly squeezed onto their faces.
"..."
What the hell is wrong with these guys?
With Leon's speechless expression, none of the directors spoke. Their faces contorted for several minutes until it seemed they reached a basic consensus, and then they slowly calmed down.
"Sorry."
After smiling apologetically at Leon, who seemed to be "isolated," the Director of Taurus gently explained:
"We've been together for decades, and since we jointly manage the interconnected Star Palaces, communicating this way is faster... Leon, regarding whether to recall the other directors, we're currently at a two-to-two vote. What do you think?"
What do I think... Does it mean that as a reserve director, I also have voting rights?
Leon hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then responded with a question:
"Can I ask what tasks the other directors out there are currently performing?"
"You can."
The Director of Sagittarius nodded.
"Although you haven't fully controlled the Aquarius Palace yet and don't have all the director's privileges, you can already know this information... Of the seven directors still out there, Aries, Virgo, Scorpio, and the Director are deep in the Old Soil, searching for treasures lost by our human ancestors.
As for the remaining four, they are carrying out tasks on the thirteen main planes near the present world.
The Director of Capricorn is purifying the polluted Heavenly Mountain to prevent the demons of the Abyss from going completely out of control; the Director of Lion guards the chaotic Four Shattered Realms, clearing out those troublesome guys who died in the past but try to kill their way back again.
The Director of Libra is tasked with blocking the Star Realm to prevent those Outer Gods with excessively filthy rules from breaking through and causing contamination, while the Directors of Gemini are assigned by the Director to enter the Source God Platform to find a way to completely kill the Ancient Gods within Cancer's belly.
"..."
Purifying heaven, slaughtering old foes, blocking the Star Realm, executing Ancient Gods... Wow, just hearing it, you know these are all deadly jobs, so no wonder they haven't returned despite the Clean-up Bureau being in chaos...
After hearing about the tasks assigned to the other directors, Leon, who was a bit in a dilemma, fell into silence, while the Director of Cancer rubbed his belly with a smile and said:
"In my opinion, it's hard to move the other guys, but we could actually bring back the Directors of Gemini first.
After all, the Director assigned them to the Source God Platform to find the marks left by those Ancient Gods simply because I won't live much longer and worry that the next Director of Cancer might not be competent enough to suppress the awakening Ancient Gods in my belly.
But now it's different. As long as Leon, you resign first and leave that damned Aquarius Palace, come over here and get re-elected, with the talent you've shown, in at most five years, I can teach you to consume everything..."
"Enough, stop talking like that!"
Unhappily glaring at him, the Director of Taurus interrupted:
"Although directors can resign early, there's no precedent for being re-elected after resignation! And if Leon resigns early, Aquarius Palace might be vacant for many years!
In short, we can't move the Gemini; if you don't quickly dispose of the Ancient Gods in your belly, it might turn out to be something more dangerous than the Slaughter King Association in a few years. Instead of calling Gemini back, it'd be better to call Capricorn back!"
"Capricorn can't be moved either."
The Director of Sagittarius shook his head and said:
"Without Capricorn holding the fort, the erosion of the Heavenly Mountain would be ten times more severe, and the number of born demons might multiply several times, possibly raising two more Great Demon Gods at the four-pillar level."
"Then what about Lion..."
"No, they can't."
The Director of Pisces frowned and said:
"The rules of the Four Shattered Realms were shattered by the third Director; if we don't manage it at all, those enemies who died in the past might really manage to creep back from the shattered timeline, so if we must have someone return, Libra would be the best."
"No way."
The Director of Cancer strongly shook his head and said, displeased:
"In my opinion, Libra's position is the most important; you won't have forgotten about that Outer God with the 'Blood Moon' rules, right?
Even just a tiny bit of the rule residue leaking in after it died turned the entire moon red for three weeks! If we call Libra back and another Outer God of the same level sneaks through the Star Realm and embeds its rules into the present world, what will we do?
By then, when people all over the world look up at night, there'll be a grotesque, mouth-covered flesh moon in the sky, hungrily gazing down at them and drooling?"
"That's not impossible."
The Director of Sagittarius said thoughtfully:
"I had already considered what to do if that really happened. We could open the 'Illusion Can,' dig out Asur's Sleep's brain inside, and forcibly make all humans always keep their heads down, avoiding looking at the moon.
Then we could send the 'Shed' of Omnia Cicada up there, wrap around the entire moon, and after about ten years extract the Outer God that eroded the moon out of the moon to eliminate its influence."
"Are you crazy?"
Upon hearing this, the Director of Taurus couldn't help but get angry, his brows immediately furrowing.
"Can we just mess with those things? And how do you know the next Outer God's rules will still be 'Blood Moon'? What if one with 'Wasteland' or 'Deep Drought' rules shows up? Will you let nearly half of the present world dry up for ten years?"
"If it's another Outer God, we'd naturally have to use other means... For instance, if an Outer God with 'Wasteland' rules really comes, we could take out the heart of the Scarlet Overlord and use its blood as a water source to alleviate the drought since its blood is endless."
"No! Don't even think about it!"
"We must consider it."
At this time, the Director of Pisces stood up with a serious expression and reminded:
"Joan, your soul is injured now, and I only have half of my peak state left. Sagittarius will soon have to replace Cancer to guard the Abyss. The Bureau practically only has Cancer as a 'director-level' figure, but there are four Kingdoms to protect, so we must prepare for the worst!"
"However, it would be different if Aquarius is truly reliable, wouldn't it?"
After thinking for a moment, the Director of Cancer proposed:
"If Aquarius can fulfill the duties of their palace, we can shift the Yellow Road Director there ahead of time..."
"What if Aquarius has ulterior motives?"
The Director of Sagittarius squinted and said:
"Even if the content on the 'Sign of the Past' is genuine, if the Yellow Road Director moves, the Slaughter King Association will immediately change targets, attacking the other Kingdoms without a Yellow Road Director in place, which might be worse than now!"
In the end, it's still that we have too few personnel who can be relied upon, and the strength of the Deputy Directors in the smaller bureaus is generally not enough...
The Director of Taurus sighed helplessly.
"If we could have several people who don't rely on the Star Palace's support, who can still firmly suppress a True God even after leaving their residence... hmm..."
Wait, such people... seem to exist?
