Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 512 Parting ways
"Since there is no more information to share, let's separate for now."

When Prince Andre put on the mask and began to seek support from the King-Slayer Society, Director Scorpio, who was his target, nodded at Leon with a smile, and then extended his right hand to the stern-faced female reporter.

"In the next few days, I'll trouble Miss Nicole to follow me and cooperate with our Scorpio Branch to continue the investigation."

"..."

After hearing what Director Scorpio said, the angry female reporter curled her lips. Although she stepped away from Leon and stood beside Director Scorpio, she ignored his outstretched hand.

The humiliated Director Scorpio was not annoyed. He smiled indifferently and withdrew his hand. Then he said to Leon in a friendly manner:

“Leon, Alger is an elite of our Scorpio Branch. In terms of strength, although he is slightly inferior to Emma, ​​the executioner of your Virgin Branch, he is also ranked among all the first-level cleaners in the bureau.

I believe that with his strength, he should be able to protect you and Princess Felia. If you want to do anything, you might as well discuss it with him. His ability should be able to help you."

Help me? I'm afraid that rather than helping, you're just staring at me?

Leon, who had already known Director Scorpio's barely concealed intentions, smiled, and then, as if he hadn't noticed anything, he took the initiative to extend his hand to the tall man in front of him who looked a little uneasy.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Alger."

"No, no, it's not a big deal."

After an awkward smile, under the constant hints from Director Scorpio, the tall man, who was obviously reluctant, had to bite the bullet and hold Leon's outstretched right hand.

[Name: Skin Line (Fallen, Silk Thread, Seized)]

[Appearance: A complete set of normal male human skin formed by countless decomposable threads. The man is about 190 cm tall and weighs about 230 catties. He seems to have a habit of exercising all year round, and his muscles are smooth and powerful.]

[Abilities: Demon Disguise, Silk Skin, Skin Stealing]

[Price: You need to peel off your original skin and use the 'skin line' to completely replace it before you can use it freely]

[File: One of the works of the great demon "Disintegrator" Angolofis. It is a set of nine similar abnormal objects, including the 'Flesh Thread', 'Bone Thread', 'Nerve Thread', and 'Organ Thread'. Angolofis placed it in his bedroom and admired it often.

However, in a joint operation between the Scorpio Branch and the Aquarius Branch, the Dissociator Angolophis was captured and killed, and the set of artworks that he loved so much was also stored in the Scorpio Branch's warehouse after being partially rendered harmless.

Several years later, Alger Bentley, a second-level cleaner at the Scorpio Branch, was captured and sacrificed by a prehistoric race during an investigation. His muscles, skin, and bones were severely damaged and could not be restored. He then applied for this set of abnormal items, and has been using them ever since...】

[Evaluation: Although the destructive power is not outstanding, it is a very practical anomaly. If it is combined with an anomaly that strengthens the body and temporarily increases the strength of the thread, it is likely to produce surprising results.]

[Infiltration value: 5]

……

Is his whole body turned into silk thread? So this is the "thread man".

Hmm... and it's an abnormal object with the label of corruption? It seems that my devil badge will be useful again.

After reading the specific information about [Skin Line], Leon's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of understanding, and he didn't say anything else, but the tall man who shook hands with him felt his whole body stiffen slightly, as if all the threads that made up his body were about to leave him.

Is this the value of the former "Demon Scholar" and now the "God of Cookery" of the Cleanup Bureau?

Feeling the strange premonition that his flesh and blood were temporarily frozen and that he might be dominated by the other party at any time, the online man Alger couldn't help but shudder violently, and then he stood obediently beside Leon. After thinking for a while, he even stepped back half a step, made a distance, and stood behind Leon, and then he felt a little better.

"..."

No... Alger? What are you doing?

Looking at Alger, who had his hands folded in front of his abdomen, his back unconsciously hunched, and who looked like a bullied young wife despite being only about 1.9 meters tall, Director Scorpio's mouth twitched twice, and he suddenly had a strange premonition that he had entrusted his trust to the wrong person.

Although his strength was considered strong among the first-level cleaners, only a step behind the first-level elites such as Executioner Emma and Dice King Tom, Alger was really not very courageous. It did not seem to be a good choice to let him be responsible for "guarding" Leon.

But...it seems that other people are even worse?

After looking at the other people around him, Director Scorpio couldn't help but sigh in his heart, regretting a little for not bringing more people out.

For this investigation mission, he only selected four cleaners, namely "Line Man" Alger, "Flower Fairy" Reuben, "Fisherman" Frankie, and "Smooth Road Ahead" Mona.

Among them, Mona's ability is auxiliary. Only relying on her ability can he move freely in this city full of metal and cement without destroying the walls. Naturally, it is impossible for her to guard Leon.

Although Reuben and Frankie are both strong, I still need them in the next investigation, so I can only let Alger go. Now I just hope he can be brave for once and stand up to stop Leon when he is about to do something stupid.

Hmm... maybe I'm thinking too much. I've kicked Leon out of this mission, so he shouldn't have the chance to make any noise again... right?

After looking at Leon who was smiling at him, Director Scorpio, who had been smiling just now, couldn't help but feel a little scared. He suddenly couldn't smile anymore and began to wonder if he had made the wrong decision. However...

"Then I'll take my leave."

Not knowing the hesitation in Director Scorpio's heart, Leon gave the female reporter a look, signaling her not to get upset and to prioritize completing the mission. Then he nodded and said goodbye to Director Scorpio:

"I have to go back to the embassy to pick up the people left there, so I won't stay any longer. I wish you all the best in your investigation."

"Um...thank you, I hope everything goes well for you too."

He felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what it was. Director Scorpio could only nod at Leon and watch him and Alger leave.

After Leon and the other man walked away, the female reporter, who still had a stern face, asked:

"Sir Edward, how are you going to investigate next?"

Next words...

"Let's go to the Gemini Branch first!"

After taking a look at the two Gemini cleaners who were tied up like dumplings in the [Forbidden Entry Net], Director Scorpio temporarily suppressed his hesitation and said with a burning gaze:

“Now that we’ve kidnapped the royal family, our existence can no longer be concealed.

What we should do most at this time is to eliminate the opponent's ability to resist. No matter what the Korok royal family does, it is always a good idea to control the cleaners of the Gemini Branch first!"
