Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 513 Don’t ask, asking is a misunderstanding
"Senior Alger."

After gently touching the small flower in his pocket and confirming that Princess Filia was in good condition, Leon expanded the effect of [Secret Tail] to include the burly man behind him, and then asked curiously:

"Did you always look like this?"

"no……"

After hearing Leon's question, the tall and strong Alger shook his head and answered cautiously:

“I used to be only about 1.60 meters tall and very thin, totally different from what I am now.

However, during a mission, my body was severely damaged, so I had to apply for the 'Devil's Nine Lines', which replaced almost my entire body, and I am now like this."

"That's it..."

In fact, Leon had already learned a little about these things from the explanation of [Skin Line]. He mentioned it now just to find a topic to talk about. Seeing Alger taking up the conversation, he smiled and continued:
"Senior Alger, you seem a little... afraid of me?"

"Forehead……"

"Don't worry, I'm not a particularly crazy person. You don't have to be so defensive against me."

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon explained:

“The story about me eating the three-headed dog god is actually not as outrageous as it is said to be. Nicole and I were both swallowed by it and almost died in its stomach. Most of our souls were digested by it.

Nicole's soul strength is much higher than mine, so it was no big deal. But with the strength of my soul at that time, even if I returned to this world safely, I would not be able to control my body and would have to stay in bed for several years at least.

Plus, the part of my soul that I lost is in the dog god's body, and my soul is waiting to complete itself, so I can only choose to eat it, and I have no choice. "

"Oh, that's how it is……"

"It was the same thing in the dream world. I did that for a reason..."

Seeing that Alger was still keeping his distance, in order to get closer to him, Leon thought for a moment and explained what happened to him at that time and why he was angered by the Nightmare King. Then he said sincerely:
"Senior Alger, both you and Director Edward have some misunderstandings about me.

Things like killing and eating the True God, destroying the dream world, etc., are all special cases. Normally, I am actually a very stable person and generally do not do anything extreme. "

"..."

Indeed, he looked quite gentle and gave people the impression that he was easy to get along with...

After listening to Leon's explanation, Alger found that he didn't seem to be as crazy as the rumors said. His tense expression finally relaxed a little.

But the strange feeling that he seemed to be dominated at any time still lingered in his heart, so after hesitating for a while, he carefully asked his doubts.

So I noticed this.

Leon, who was walking towards the roadside, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

After noticing that the [Skin Line] had the "Fallen" label and was under the control of [I Am the Devil], he switched out the Devil Badge before the two of them let go of each other's hands.

After all, the situation of [Nine Wires of the Devil] is rather special. In addition to being an abnormal object, it is also Alger's body. For [I Am the Devil] to be able to control it, it still needs to be tested before it can be reassured.

At that moment, although Leon did not issue any command, the [I am the Devil] in the slot flashed, proving that no matter whose body it was, as long as it was an abnormal object with the "corrupted" label, it would be affected by [I am the Devil].

It was probably the moment the badge flashed that had a very brief dominating effect on Alger's [skin line], and he noticed it...

“Don’t worry, this is also a misunderstanding.” After looking at Alger, who was still wary, Leon, who had a good impression of the Scorpio Branch but not much, lied decisively in order to trick him into becoming his helper:

"As you know, I was originally called a demonologist. I have several demonic anomalies in my possession, and my compatibility with demonic anomalies is very high. Perhaps this is what caused you to misunderstand me."

Is this also a misunderstanding?

He vaguely felt that something was not right, but he hadn't figured out what the problem was. Alger could only nod and temporarily agree with this statement.

After the "misunderstanding" between the two was resolved, he seemed to become a lot more natural. Although he was still subconsciously half a body length behind Lyon, he was finally willing to communicate normally.

"Leon, um... sir..."

He wanted to call Leon by name, but subconsciously added a respectful title. The sturdy man walked on the street with his back to the sun, and his shadow covered Leon completely. He unconsciously stretched out his hand to rub the corner of his clothes, and then asked cautiously in a low voice:
"What are you going to do next?"

"It's very simple. First, go back to the embassy area and bring out the two people left there, and then go find the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

After thinking for a while, Leon smiled and explained:
“When I met with the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Crook before, I proposed to him that we should purchase long-distance communication technology. The scholar who invented this technology should be from the No. 1 Research Area of ​​the Kingdom of Crook.

According to my estimation, the Foreign Minister should have almost completed the technical statistics last night. If we go over and tie him up now and get the similar technologies and inventors information he summarized, we may be able to find the No. 1 Research Area and then find the location of Atifi 01. "

"???"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

You still have the nerve to ask what the problem is?
Seeing Leon turning around and looking at him with a puzzled look on his face, Alger's cheeks couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Didn't you all quit the mission? Why are you still checking Atifi 01?
Also, didn't you say before that you were usually very steady? Why did you want to kidnap a minister of a country? How can you be considered steady? It's simply...

Hmm...why is he so calm? Am I making a big fuss?

After looking at the surprised Leon and recalling the terrible experience of this junior, Alger suddenly felt that kidnapping the Minister of Foreign Affairs was not so unacceptable.

Not to mention anything else, he even kidnapped the princess of the Kingdom of Korok, and now she is in his pocket. So while he is on an investigation mission, he kidnaps a minister at the same time. It seems... not a big deal, right?

"nothing……"

After swallowing back his complaints, Alger, who had inadvertently taken a big step back, shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Mr. Lyon, if you really find Research Area No. 1 based on the whereabouts of that scholar, do you mind if I inform Director Edward?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Leon smiled upon hearing this and replied gently:

"That's why I told you this. I didn't tell Director Edward before because I wasn't sure if this method would work. So I wanted to wait until it was confirmed before telling him. Um... I'll trouble you to notify him then."

Ah this...

He had never expected that Leon, who was known as the devil of food, would be such a generous person. Not only did he not mind his own director's exclusion of him, he was even prepared to share the intelligence he had worked so hard to find. Alger could not help but feel ashamed.

To be honest, compared to Mr. Lyon in front of him, the things done by his own director were really not up to standard. While the director was thinking about grabbing credit and excluding others, others were working hard to complete the investigation task and didn't care about their own director at all.

This is really... Director, you are completely outdone...
