Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 519 Three Questions
Are we slowing down?

After hearing what Leon said, the three cleaners who were already dead were stunned. Alger snatched the nail gun and fired another shot at his feet in disbelief.

"puff!"

With mental preparation, his reaction this time was much better than before. Before the nail hit the ground, Alger's right foot once again turned into countless silk threads, tightly entangled the nail.

However, Alger, whose experiment was successful, not only did not show the joy of success on his face, but his expression instantly became very ugly.

“It’s indeed much slower…”

Bang, bang, bang, bang, after firing continuously and emptying all the remaining nails in the nail gun, Alger looked at the two nails caught by the [Skin Line] and the four nails that slipped through and were driven into the ground. His face turned grim and he said:
"It feels like it's less than one eighth of the original speed, or even less. My reaction speed is almost the same as that of an ordinary person! Damn it! Why didn't I notice this before?"

"I'm not sure, but my guess is that you guys have been tricked into lowering the upper limit of your reaction speed."

Looking at the four nails driven into the ground, Leon also frowned and said:

"The more often a cleaner carries and uses high-level anomalies, the more likely they are to be infected by the anomalies, and their bodies will transform into 'inhuman' strengths. However, no matter how strong this transformation is, it is still based on the human body.

Simply put, no matter how high the infection value is, we can still feel cold and heat, thirst, hunger and injury, but our vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary people, our reaction speed is faster, our body is stronger, our soul is more vigorous, and we can use abnormal objects more and longer.

But these changes are not usually so clear. Having a much faster reaction speed than ordinary people does not mean that we see others speaking and doing things in slow motion. It just means that when we need to react, we can exert a higher ceiling. "

When he said this, Leon paused for a moment, then pointed at the pedestrians on the street and said:

“It’s just like the relationship between running and walking. When an ordinary person is being chased by a wild animal, they can run a hundred meters in a dozen seconds, but when they are taking a normal walk, they may take more than a minute to walk a hundred meters, because this speed is more than enough for walking.

The other party seems to have done something to lock your ability to run. When you are walking or taking a walk, you don't need to run that fast, so you can hardly feel it. But when a beast pounces on you and you need to run at full speed, you will find that you have lost the ability to run. "

So this is how we planted it!
After understanding the origins of those "rapid artillery" through Leon's tests and descriptions, the three cleaners suddenly realized what was going on. The female cleaner Mona couldn't help but said anxiously:

"If that's all, then let's go find the director! As long as we tell him the secret, maybe he still has a chance..."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think this is a good idea."

Before the female cleaner could finish her words, Leon immediately interrupted:

"You may have died too early and didn't see what happened afterwards. Nicole told me that Chief Edward's body was half blown to pieces and his soul was forcibly sealed in his broken body. There is no chance for them to turn the tables."

"But we can't..."

"It's not that I watched someone die without helping. It's that I don't have the ability to save him."

Leon shook his head and said without allowing any refusal:

"When times get like this, we have to be more cautious when making decisions. The information we have is insufficient. If we act rashly, we will not only fail to save people, but will also ruin our last hope and completely mess things up.

Senior Mona, although this may sound unpleasant, I have to say it. If your suggestion is based on rational judgment, I will seriously consider it. But if it is just an impulse brought about by emotion, I can only ask you to calm down first. "

"I... I'm sorry... I was impatient..." After biting her lips hard, the female cleaner calmed down a little, lowered her head, took the initiative to apologize, and then asked:

"So what do we do now? Find a way to investigate the thing that suppresses our reaction speed and help you and Alger get rid of its influence?"

"You can check this, but it should be put on the back burner."

Lyon shook his head and said:
"Even if we find out how the other party manipulated us, we may not be able to eliminate it, so we should first investigate more important things, such as the location of the palace and Atifi 01, as well as the current situation of the royal family."

"But how can I check it?"

The female cleaner couldn't help but ask:

"The blocks in the Kingdom of Korok have changed too frequently. The director and we have been investigating for almost two weeks, but we have only found some insignificant things. We still have no clues about these two places, and the royal family has been living in seclusion for many years, so there is no way to investigate."

"Don't worry, I already have a clue."

After taking out his ID card and throwing it away, Leon stretched out his hand to Alger, motioning him to take out the ID card and destroy it, while answering:

"Once we reach the embassy district, we will have the opportunity to approach these two places. As for the situation of the royal family... Your Highness Filia, don't you have anything to say?"

Looking sideways at the emerald-eyed girl who was still in a "coma" next to him, Leon narrowed his eyes and said:
"Your Highness, could you please tell me why, after hearing that something happened to us, the emotion that surged in your heart was not panic, but secret joy?"

Got it!

After Leon revealed her thoughts, Princess Filia, who was pretending to be unconscious, trembled all over, and then she had to open her eyes and said with fear:
"Because... because you are kidnappers. You have kidnapped me. When I heard that you are not doing well, of course I can't help but feel... a little happy..."

"Okay, you pass."

Leon nodded without comment, then twisted the identification card handed to him by Alger and asked calmly:
"Then the second question is, when we were discussing the method that locked our reaction speed, I sensed a clear sense of 'satisfaction' in your soul. How do you plan to explain this?"

"This one……"

"If you can't explain it, then I can only guess."

Looking at Princess Filia, who had sweat on her temples and whose big eyes were rolling around but who never dared to look him in the face, Leon said expressionlessly:

"Since you feel so 'satisfied' in your heart, it proves that this method is related to you. It is even possible that this method was proposed by you. Princess Felia, am I right?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

After taking a look at the panicked soul of the emerald-eyed girl, Leon couldn't help but sigh, then asked with a frown:

"Then comes the third question...Apart from you and Prince Andre, is there anyone else alive in the entire Korok royal family?"
