Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 19 Don’t Ask, If You Ask, It Will Explode (Part )

"Well... indeed, it was just an accident."

Seeing Wen Yan comforting his sister and her obviously improved complexion, Leon felt the heavy burden on his heart eased a little, and he smiled and echoed her.

……

That's right, yesterday's out-of-control Infected incident that affected four to five hundred people turned into an accident after the "culprit" was shot dead by Leon and Senior Emma submitted the incident report.

According to the red-haired chief, there is an abnormal object of astonishingly high status hidden underground in the headquarters of the Cleanup Bureau.

As long as the employees of the Cleanup Bureau complete the cleanup task and submit the incident report, the rules of the anomaly will be triggered, and the relevant memories of most of the eyewitnesses will be forcibly rewritten. For example, this incident was confused as a gas explosion accident.

In the memory of Anna and others, the gas pipeline in the hospital cracked first, causing the first round of explosions. This round of explosions coincidentally shattered the storage room containing anesthetics. A large amount of anesthetics quickly spread along the ventilation ducts, causing hundreds of patients and medical staff to fall into a collective coma.

The second round of explosions occurred on the sixth floor where the director's office was located, and on the fourth floor where the intensive care unit was located. The director of the Red Brick Road Hospital was killed on the spot, and the intensive care unit where Anna was located was also destroyed.

Fortunately, she smelled the gas leak in advance and took quick action to lift two nurses out of the window, thus saving her life. However, her legs were scratched by the broken glass that exploded from the upstairs. Another nurse was seriously injured and many joints on her body were damaged.

Just when the third round of explosion was about to begin, fortunately, Leon and his colleagues who came to visit her arrived and closed the gas valve in time, preventing a greater disaster from happening and saving the lives of hundreds of people in the hospital.

……

Yes, that anomaly that was said to be extremely powerful even took into account the mental health of the employees of the Cleanup Bureau when "making up a story" to cover up the incident, and deliberately left out the "merit" of Leon and the other two, so that they would not be psychologically unbalanced because they saved people but did not get respected.

What's even more bizarre is that in order to make it easier for the Cleanup Bureau to report to the higher authorities and defraud bonuses, it even gave the victims a memory that the Cleanup Bureau received reports from the masses and sent people to investigate the problem of excessive charges at the Red Brick Road Hospital, highlighting its caring, open and humane nature, as well as a slightly shameless attitude.

After hearing about this outrageous operation, Leon, who understood the difference between "program" and "artificial intelligence", almost instinctively questioned this anomaly. He felt that something that was so "flexible" obviously had its own intelligence. He thought there must be something wrong with it and it was not something that simply followed the rules.

However, the answer Leon received from the red-haired director was that this anomaly actually had a brain, or even that it was a brain itself.

This high-level anomaly that can distort memories was originally an evil god that was captured alive after arriving hastily without adequate preparation.

After killing it, the Cleanup Bureau discovered that it was very good at tampering with memories, so they simply dug out its brain and put it into an anomaly called the "Illusion Drum", making it into an anomaly specifically designed to end large-scale incidents.

However, because this thing's ability to modify group memory is too dangerous, if it is allowed to be mastered by a single person, extremely serious consequences may occur. Therefore, the conditions for activating it are extremely harsh. It must be approved by more than half of the twelve directors. Normally, it can only be buried deep underground and allowed to operate, and can only be used when it is extremely dangerous.

……

So, what does this very dangerous mean? Or to put it more bluntly, if someone wants to take action against the Cleanup Bureau, is it considered very dangerous?

When listening to the red-haired director's words, Leon almost instantly thought of the definition of "danger" and solved a huge puzzle - why would a country in this world allow an organization like the Cleanup Bureau to exist? And even actively cooperate with it?
I'm afraid they don't want to cooperate, but they have to!
After all, just the evil god's brain that modifies collective memory is enough to cause trouble for all kingdoms that have ulterior motives, and the history of the Cleanup Bureau is unknown how long, so who knows what strange things they are hiding?

After learning from this news how powerful the Cleanup Bureau is, Leon is now very sure that he will be bound to this mysterious organization for the rest of his life.

Standing at the forefront of protecting humanity, being able to know the truth of the world, and gaining abilities far beyond those of ordinary people... these alone were hard for him to refuse, not to mention that the Cleanup Bureau paid high salaries, had good benefits, and was even a regular member of the kingdom.

Especially the issue of employment. I heard that in the current blind date market in the capital, those with formal employment are particularly popular, both men and women... Wait a minute, wasn't I prepared to be single until death? Why did I suddenly think of blind dates? Could it be that I was stimulated by something today? Or is it like what Black Goat said, that I have reached the age of being restless?
……

"Brother? Brother! What's wrong with you?"

After calling Leon several times without receiving a response, Anna, who was sipping fish soup from a bowl, couldn't help but blink in confusion.

Looking at her brother who looked unusually serious at one moment and smiled shyly the next, the sickly girl thought for a moment, put the milky white fish soup back on the bedside, then raised her right hand, covered her lips which looked pink because of the oil spots, and coughed very softly in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Hearing the suppressed cough that had been worrying him for the past two years, Leon instantly broke free from his mind full of random thoughts as if by conditioned reflex.

He hurriedly looked at the girl on the bed, and saw that Anna just coughed lightly and then stopped talking. He was relieved, then reached out and picked up the soup bowl on the bedside table, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Brother was thinking about work and didn't take care of you for a while... Why did you cough just now? Did you choke? How about I feed you?"

“No… um…”

Seeing Leon looking over immediately after hearing the cough, the frail girl's eyes couldn't help but warm up slightly. She shook her head and was about to say that she didn't choke, but looking at the spoon that was already in front of her mouth, she thought for a moment and decided not to refuse.

Holding Leon's arm, she propped herself up and sat back, leaning on the cushion he brought. Then the sickly girl leaned against the head of the bed and took small sips of the fish soup that was fed to her again.

But for some reason, even though she had just drunk half a bowl of soup by herself, she would cough once or twice from time to time. Then, when Leon asked her with concern, she smiled and shook her head, then slightly opened her greasy lips and waited for the next mouthful of fish soup with peace of mind...

Mom and Dad, are you still looking at me?

If possible, I hope you can make this bowl of soup a little more, so that my brother can stay with me for a little longer, but not too much, just a few more mouthfuls will be fine...

“Tock, knock.”

The sound of knuckles knocking against glass interrupted the sickly girl's prayer.

The two people in the ward looked in the direction of the sound, and were quite surprised to find that a girl with red eyes had come to the door at some point in time.

The baby-faced girl looked about the same age as them, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was wearing a mature professional suit with an exquisite name badge hanging on her chest.

Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have started working, or even had been working for several years, but for some reason, there was something strange and out of place about her, as if she was not quite used to this outfit.

"I'm from the gas company. I was the one who signed the acceptance form for the hospital's pipeline. I... I'm sorry!"

After getting the permission from Leon and the other man, the girl with swollen eyes pushed the door open cautiously and walked in. Without saying a word, she bowed deeply at 90 degrees to Leon and said with tears in her eyes:

“This incident is all my fault!

If I had been more strict in the inspection, the pipe here might not have exploded, and your wife would not have jumped off the building and got injured! Please rest assured that I will give you satisfactory compensation!"
