Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 543: The Reason for the Group's Destruction
Is this what Filia said, that when not in use, by simulating scenes from life, all Atiphi bodies can maintain a minimum level of thinking activity in order to "preserve" the brain?

After taking a quick look at the situation in the fresh-keeping room and seeing six or seven "fresh-keeping containers" with the upper half of their heads open, just like the middle-aged man, Leon couldn't help but hissed and felt his scalp slightly tingling.

This is really... quite perverted...

After shaking his head speechlessly, Leon hesitated for a moment, and then did not interfere with the "little theater" of these Atiphi sub-bodies. Instead, he activated the [Secret Tail] and found a seat at the back and sat down.

"Finn, what are you talking about?!"

Before the royal family members in the audience could reply, the queen next to the middle-aged man shouted in shock:
"Didn't we already agree that such crazy things are absolutely not allowed? Why are you…"

"I am sorry……"

It seemed that after the brain was taken away, the body's ability to show "emotions" was affected. Facing his wife's angry questioning, King Finn first sighed mechanically, and then read with an expressionless face:
"You are also aware of the current situation in the kingdom. Whether it is non-renewable energy represented by lightning-struck ore or consumable materials represented by floating crystals, they have been unable to sustain their supply in recent years. Nearly 20% of the factories have stopped production, and more than people have lost their jobs.

Our contract with the Vandaston Kingdom will expire in half a year. They are preparing to increase energy prices. More than 20 mineral deposits, including Cheshire and Black Mountain, have been making trouble since last year, trying to get rid of their status as mineral deposits. The current situation in the kingdom is not optimistic.

If a stronger Atifi appears at this time and manages the entire kingdom and coordinates them in a unified manner, the losses in these areas can be reduced by at least 15%, and at most 35%. The difficulties faced by the kingdom can be greatly alleviated, so..."

“It’s not a question of how much lower!”

After interrupting the middle-aged man's explanation, the queen angrily cursed:
"Filia is our daughter! She's still a teenager! As a father, how can you say such nonsense?"

"In addition to being Filia's father, I am also the king of the Kingdom of Korok. Although Filia is just a child, she is also the princess of the Kingdom of Korok."

King Finn lowered his open head slightly, lowered his voice, and read with a look of deep sorrow:
"What a person gets from his status, he must bear the corresponding price. I enjoy the power brought by the status of king, so I must bear the responsibility of maintaining the kingdom. And Filia enjoys the benefits brought by the status of princess, so she has the responsibility to bear the benefits brought by this status..."

"She's just a child! What are you asking her to bear?"

The queen said angrily:

"Finn! You make me sick! Do you understand what you are saying? If Andre knew..."

"If I don't do this, neither Andre nor Filia will live to see their 15th birthday!"

"What?!!"

After hearing what King Finn shouted excitedly, not only was the Queen stunned, even Leon in the audience couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

In the silence, King Finn, who was confused, sighed and then said in a low voice:

"You know, due to the influence of our own bloodline, our bodies are generally weak, but our brains are naturally much more developed than ordinary people.

As for Filia and Andre... the gap between their brains and ours is even greater than the gap between our brains and those of ordinary people. But this extraordinary talent is more of a curse than a gift from God."

When he said this, King Finn paused for a moment, and then said in a more suppressed tone:

"The brains of these two children are different from those of everyone else. Some parts that should have finished growing during infancy and then completely stopped developing will continue to grow, madly squeezing out the space of other brain tissues.

They are still young now and do not show too many abnormalities, but as their brains continue to develop, their mobility will be slowly affected, and they may even suffer from loss of vision, taste, and touch.

In the last few years, they may even completely lose control of their bodies and all perception of the outside world. They can only lie motionless in bed, trapped in an empty cage by their own crazy genius brains until they die completely.

"This this……"

After hearing the truth told by King Finn, the queen said in shock:

"Andre has been falling down a lot lately, and he always says that his vision is a little blurry when he wakes up in the morning. Could it be that..." "Hmm."

King Finn nodded.

"Andre's brain has gradually begun to be overwhelmed, and with Atifi's current computing power, there is no way to sort out his brain, which is a hundred times more complex than that of an ordinary person, but... but if it were Filia, it would be possible.

So the choice now is to either do nothing and watch the two children grow little by little...sigh...or to sacrifice Filia in exchange for the opportunity for Andre to grow up healthily."

"God..."

After learning the truth, the queen's eyes instantly turned red, and she sobbed:
“Why…why do you want us to make such a cruel choice? And…and Andre and Filia are so good friends. If he finds out later that he got the chance to survive by sacrificing Filia, then that child…that child might…”

"He won't find out."

King Finn shook his head and read expressionlessly:
"As I said at the beginning, regarding Filia's matter, it was me, the father, who was persuaded by Atefi to sacrifice Filia in order to save the kingdom from decline. Andre has nothing to do with it... Everyone!"

When he said this, King Finn made a gesture as if he had taken off his crown, and then he bowed deeply and vigorously to the people in the audience who had been silent.

"When I do this, please don't stop me. Please keep it a secret for me and never let Andre know what happened today."

"..."

After a long silence, among the many unresponsive Atifei bodies in the audience, an old man with white hair and beard sighed, then nodded slightly.

"Finn... I'm sorry for the hardship you've suffered."

After the old man finished his statement, four older members of the royal family nodded one after another.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"Ah...it would be good if we could save a child."

"But I'm afraid Andre will hate you forever."

"How about this, just say that we forced you to do it, and you had to agree to it under pressure from us elders... Would that be a little better?"

"..."

Good guys...I asked you to do this...

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but stand up and glance at the old man who made the last proposal.

No wonder Andre was so resentful and killed all the royal family members in one breath. If I'm not mistaken, the entire Korok royal family was probably wiped out because of this sentence of yours.

At this moment, the queen who was crying in front suddenly sat up straight and gave Leon a familiar smile.

"Mr. Lyon."

With her hands folded on her belly, she resumed her original dignified and elegant sitting posture. Queen Korok… or Atifi00, using the queen’s “body”, smiled and asked:

"I wonder if this past event can satisfy you?"
