Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 8 Social Man

Leon rushed out of the ward for the second time in one day without any hesitation. He avoided the crowded reception area, climbed out of the window on the second floor of the hospital, and ran towards the cleaning bureau.

Since taking Anna away is not feasible, there is only one choice left, which is to report to the Cleanup Bureau immediately and bring someone who can deal with the "out-of-control infected person"!

I don’t know if it’s because I’m too nervous that I have the illusion that time is slowing down, or if “going to the Cleanup Bureau to report the news” is also considered part of my job and I can get a bonus from the “Probationary Worker” badge.

Leon, who had not slept all night, was obviously very tired, but his speed was much faster than last time. It didn't take long for him to rush downstairs of the Cleanup Bureau.

However, when Leon endured the burning pain in his lungs and staggered into the deepest office, what appeared in front of him was only an empty room.

Where are the people? Why is there no one?

Looking through the window at the dark sky, Leon, with an anxious look on his face, suddenly realized that it was already past the time for civil servants to get off work, and the mysterious red-haired woman must have left.

This is troublesome...How about we look around the building first to see if there is anyone on duty?

Leon gritted his teeth after his attack came to nothing, and was about to leave the red-haired woman's office when he heard a muffled thud behind him, as if something heavy had fallen on the carpet.

Leon turned around in surprise and found that a sheep head ornament on the table had fallen down. He was in a hurry to find someone and didn't care about it. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he found that the sheep head ornament twisted twice strangely and turned its front side over by itself.

Under Leon's shocked gaze, the sheep's head with its mouth sewn shut rolled its eyes twice and then glared at him fiercely.

? !
In a dim corridor, in an ornately decorated and weird office, a sheep's head with its mouth sewn shut with red thread is staring at you ferociously...

"Just stand there and look at your horse!"

An angry voice sounded in Leon's ears, destroying the terrifying atmosphere.

The black goat rolled on the carpet several times, but failed to right itself. It then glared at Leon angrily and said in a vicious voice:

"Why don't you help me up? When I was still a big devil, I would have slapped someone as ignorant as you to death long ago!"

Big devil... that black goat? It's only been over an hour, how come only a head is left?

"Hello... hello!"

After recognizing that this guy was the black goat just now, Leon, who was worried about his sister's situation, took a deep breath and asked directly:

"I think I just ran into an out-of-control infected person in the hospital three blocks away. Is there anyone on duty in the cleanup bureau now?"

Bullshit! If there were other people in the bureau, would you have barged in like this? Those lunatics would have killed them long ago!
Just as the black goat rolled his eyes and was about to start cursing, Leon, who was well versed in treating the symptoms, quickly added:
"As long as you help me find someone, I will buy you cigarettes! A pack of 'Gault'! No! Two packs!"

'...'

If it's two packs... Tsk... I'm such a kind person, I can't bear to see people suffering, it's not impossible for me to help you, but the problem is...

'well……'

In the face of Leon's nervous expression, Black Goat sighed first, then shook his head with some regret:

"Forget about the deal. I am a devil of integrity. I will never take advantage if I can't get the job done. There is no one left in the bureau now. I can't help you even if I want to."

nobody?
Upon hearing this, Leon couldn’t help but said anxiously:

"How come there isn't even one person on duty in such a big building?"

"Isn't it all that red-haired woman's fault?" the black goat said with an unhappy look on his face.
'It's all her fault that she usually does her job too roughly, which results in low evaluations for each mission. Because she was worried that she wouldn't pass the year-end review, she sent everyone out last month to improve performance. Now the bureau is so empty that rats can run away...

Boy, let me tell you, don't be blinded by her beauty!
Although she is pretty, and not inferior to those pure-blooded succubi, she is an alcoholic, greedy, petty-minded, and unhygienic person. We even saw her secretly picking her toes with the office door closed! This bitch is just... eh?'

When the black goat was halfway through spitting out the sweet fragrance, it seemed to have discovered something. It turned its head with an effort to look to the east, then slightly opened its sewn mouth and grinned at Leon.

"You are lucky, you have achieved some success right after joining the company... Hurry up! Pick me up, someone who can work is back, I will take you to settle the matter with her!"

Also, remember the cigarettes you promised me! You must have two packs, if you have one less I will kill you!'

As long as you can solve this problem, don’t even mention two packs, two boxes will do!

……

Hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, Leon was overjoyed. He bent down to pick up the sheep's head and quickly rushed out of the cleanup bureau. Following its instructions, he ran almost two blocks east and finally stopped a tall woman covered in bandages at the corner of the street.

"You are... um... the bureau is actually hiring new people."

After looking at the sheep head in Leon's arms, the tall woman with bandages all over her body seemed to have received a lot of information directly from it. She smiled and stretched out her right hand to Leon, saying kindly:
"My name is Emma. I have been in the Cleanup Bureau for six years. I think I am quite familiar with the bureau's business. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask."

"Okay...Ok..."

When he first stopped this strange woman covered in bandages, Leon thought she would be another "full of personality" weirdo like the Black Goat, but he didn't expect to hear such a "social" opening remark.

But...it seems like she's easy to talk to?

After thinking about the situation at the hospital, Leon immediately suppressed the awkward feeling in his heart, shook the bandaged woman's hand hastily, and then spoke anxiously:

"Over there at the hospital..."

"I will go, but not now."

The bandaged woman smiled gently and said calmly:
"According to the Bureau's four-step operational manual, we should first observe carefully to determine the type and danger of the anomaly, as well as the identity of the out-of-control infector;

Then, based on the victim's situation, make a preliminary guess about the effect of the infected person's ability and determine the possible impact;
The next step is to find targeted tools and special items, confirm your own status, and develop a complete action plan;

Finally, we launch the operation, and try to control or kill the target and complete the cleanup work in a way that causes the least casualties and has the least impact."

Seeing Leon who seemed a little dazed, the Bandage Lady kindly reminded him:
"Now that the sun has set, our ability to move is reduced due to the obstruction of our vision. Moreover, without the suppression of the sun, most anomalies will be more active at night. This is not a good time to act.

In addition, I have just completed a two-and-a-half-month mission, and my physical strength and condition have reached their limits. I need at least a week of rest to ensure sufficient concentration, and it is not suitable for me to immediately take on a new job with an unknown degree of danger.

Therefore, the most correct plan now is for us to go back to the Cleanup Bureau first, and when the director comes to work tomorrow, we will hand over this task to her, so we should..."

"Why are you doing this again..."

Shocked by the other party's professional and even somewhat indifferent attitude, Leon didn't know what to say for a moment, but the sheep head in his arms twisted twice and complained with dissatisfaction:
"Your director has gone on a business trip to Wales and will not be back within three days. Are you still waiting for her?"

"Let's wait until she comes back."

Seeing Leon’s expression suddenly change, the bandaged woman named Emma smiled gently again, and said with a hint of apology in her eyes:
“Looking at your expression… do you have any relatives in that hospital?
I'm sorry, but I have reasons to live no matter what. If I can't be sure it's absolutely safe, I won't act rashly under any circumstances, so please wait for three days!"
