I! Cleaner!-Chapter 975 - 894: A Great Haul

"Are you saying that our plan may have already been discovered by the Faceless Man?"

After hearing what the Sagittarius Director said, Taurus Director, who was assisting the third-generation director, couldn't help but wipe his sweat and then frowned and asked:

"If they refuse to come in no matter what, then we'll have to fight hard, but with our current situation..."

"Given our current situation, we might just be able to face off against the Realm of the Dead!"

Interrupting Taurus Director, the rotund Cancer Director grinned confidently and said:

"Only a quarter of Aquarius's soul descended, thoroughly taking out an Overlord of the Dead Realm, seriously wounding the Mountain Patroller and the Incarnated Doe, and even managed to kill the strongest, the First Dead. Now..."

"I wasn't the one who killed him!"

From the coffin carried back by Pisces Director, Leon's sullen protest sounded.

"The First Dead likely died from internal strife and had nothing to do with me; it wasn't me who killed him!"

"Alright, then it has nothing to do with you."

Not arguing with Leon, the Cancer Director directly nodded and acknowledged his statement, then cheerfully analyzed:

"In summary, among the Overlords of the Dead Realm who reached the pillar god level, there are only the Craftsman, the Faceless Man, the Mountain Patroller, and the First Dead. The first three can each suppress a director in one-on-one combat, and the strongest, the First Dead, can even handle two.

Besides the ordinary Overlords, there are powerful ones like the Incarnated Doe and Wailing Puppet, who hold dominion over multiple places and whose strength is just slightly inferior to the pillar god level. They're a bit weaker than some of us directors one-on-one, but stronger than most Zodiac Bureau chiefs.

Now, these most troublesome opponents have already been severely weakened by Aquarius. One pillar god is gone, another seriously injured, and a powerful Overlord close to pillar god level is similarly no more. One's seriously injured too.

With the current power comparison, even if we each have our problems, confronting the Overlords of the Dead Realm would put us at a disadvantage, but we'd still have more than an 80% chance of winning!"

"But it's not just about the probability of winning..."

Taurus Director sighed in response, looking at the smiling Cancer Director with a complex expression:

"Pisces and I only have soul issues, so at most, we'd be seriously injured in a fight. But your and Sagittarius's secret techniques consume life span, and you both don't have much time left. If we really go for a head-on fight, you might..."

"It's only a matter of dying a few years earlier, it's not a big issue."

The Cancer Director patted his belly, smiling warmly: 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"I don't mind, besides last time during the Five Palace Selection, I found a few promising candidates to inherit the secret technique. Though they're not as good as Aquarius, there's no need to worry about the Cancer Palace having no successor. Death isn't anything to be afraid of... What do you say?"

"I have no objections either."

Seeing the slightly provocative look from the Cancer Director, the Sagittarius Director couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, then calmly said:

"We'll die, but it's worth it, so we can fight."

"You guys... you guys..."

Seeing the expressions of two friends who had reached the end of their lives, already prepared, Taurus Director's heart felt a bit sour, failing twice to finish speaking.

Meanwhile, the third-generation elder, who was tossing divine corpses into a pot, kicked Leon's coffin far away, then took a moment from his busy schedule to give a thumbs-up in evaluation.

"You two are not bad! Although your abilities aren't great, your courage is decent. The Cleaner Bureau in your hands may be a mess, but at least it's not entirely rotten.

It's just a pity your abilities are somewhat lacking... Hmm... I might have misunderstood you before. You guys are alright, just lacking capability."

"..."

Well... Our abilities are lacking compared to you and your generation of Cleaners, but there was no need to highlight it three times in one sentence, right?

Faced with the heartfelt 'compliment' from the third-generation elder, several directors couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and Taurus Director, about to permanently lose two old friends, immediately turned gloomy and couldn't resist angrily saying:

"Third-generation master! Why do you always say such..."

"I'm just speaking the truth."

Interrupting Taurus Director, the third-generation elder once again kicked Leon's coffin further away. Amidst the startled cries and curses coming from the coffin, he raised his hand and pointed at his head, explaining with a grinning face:

"Because if your abilities were adequate, you would've noticed something was wrong long ago and realized you were surrounded."

We're... surrounded?

Hearing the third-generation elder's words, the directors were momentarily stunned, then looked up in the direction of his finger.

The directors were utterly shocked to discover that above the dense fog of the Sage's Cemetery, dozens of pale land masses, different in color from the sky, were dramatically rolling up, merging at the very center of the sky, completely enclosing the entire cemetery, blocking every possible exit!

...

A huge bounty!!!

Seeing the directors of the Cleaner Bureau in Sage's Cemetery, all looking up with shock in their eyes, the Overlords of the Dead Realm participating in the "encirclement" couldn't help showing sheer joy.

Originally, they only hoped to capture the Food God and deal with the two directors protecting him. They never expected there would be four directors inside the Sage's Cemetery! What's even more wonderful is that among these four directors, two are aged and shrouded in death energy, while the other two have souls with anomalies and filled with flaws!

Facing Overlords skilled in death and souls, these four problematic directors of the Cleaner Bureau might not even be able to exert half of their strength. Even the weakest Overlord could give them a hard time!

Twelve against four... Losing this battle seems almost impossible!

"Attack!"

Seeing the group of old, weak, sick, and disabled directors below, the corners of the Faceless Man's mouth twitched upward slightly. Without hesitation, he led the Overlords of the Dead Realm in a full-scale attack aimed at the Sage's Cemetery.

"Boom!"

As the Faceless Man's raised arm fell, a palace made of countless twisted bones arose from the depths of a dark forest hung with corpses.

Then, funeral music for the dead played, and a legion of unwilling deceased deprived of their shells and flesh merged with tens of thousands of ancient tombstones, forming an endless tide of corpses embarking both by land and water. They surged with soul-burning blue flames like a tidal wave, turning the tranquil cemetery into a sea of the dead.

"..."

Well then.

Looking at the surrounding tide of deceased, charging frantically with endless death, and the Overlords of the Dead Realm following behind, the directors exchanged glances, then couldn't hold back their laughter.

This... is a massive windfall!!!
