Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 87: A hundred years of hard work to get on the same boat, ten years
[The bronze hidden badge "Connected" is activated. You have obtained a resource support from within the organization. After completing the conditions set by the resource provider, you can receive the resource.]

???

After hearing the reminder in his ears, Leon, who was waiting for a car at the intersection of the municipal district with a broom and shopping bags, preparing to visit Ryan's house, couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Wow, it's really a hidden badge. How long has it been since I got it? I actually got some resource support for myself.

Although some conditions still need to be met before resource support can be obtained, since the resources come from the Cleanup Bureau, they are mostly materials related to anomalies, or even directly an anomaly.

According to Senior Emma, ​​the bureau has to go out on an average of three missions and spend three to four months to obtain an abnormal object, and there is no guarantee that it can even be used.

In comparison, if the resources obtained are truly abnormal and the conditions required to complete them are not too harsh, this exchange can be considered quite cost-effective!

……

"beep!!!"

Just as Lyon was hesitating whether to go back and ask what the so-called resource support was, he heard a slightly shrill whistle, and four strong and tall horses pulled a huge carriage slowly towards the platform.

Forget it, the car is here...plus, we don’t know how long it will take to complete that condition, and the task of investigating Ryan’s family has been delayed long enough, so let’s talk about the resources after we come back from the investigation.

Having made up his mind, Lyon took the initiative to move forward. After the door of the steam carriage was stable in the passenger reception area, he bent over and got into the carriage with about 20 seats, and found a seat at the back and sat down.

Compared to the front row near the door, the back row is closer to the boiler at the rear of the car, but it is very noisy, which is naturally a torture in the summer.

But now that winter is just a few days away, this is undoubtedly the most comfortable position for Lyon, whose coat is very old and not warm enough.

However, just as Leon leaned back in his chair with a happy look on his face, feeling the comfortable warmth on his back, he heard hurried footsteps outside the car and a familiar anxious shout.

"Wait a minute! Let's sit too!"

Oh my god, I can’t be so unlucky!
After recognizing the owner of the voice, Leon, who didn't want to meet her, couldn't help but look dark. He instinctively shrank back and hesitated for a moment whether to get off the car now.

But in just over a second, the owner of the voice had already run from the rear of the carriage to the door, and with a powerful stride of her strong and agile legs, she jumped directly into the carriage. It was none other than the female police officer from the Secret Investigation Bureau.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

At this time, the carriage had already slightly moved away from the platform. Although it was still possible to step onto it in one step, it was still somewhat dangerous. Faced with the dangerous operation of the female police officer who was not wearing a uniform, the aunt in charge of selling tickets immediately shouted angrily:

"If you don't want to live, go find another car to hit! Don't come and harm my family!"

"Ah! Sorry, sorry!"

The female police officer who successfully got on the bus breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly apologized with an embarrassed look on her face, and explained:

"We have something urgent to do. This bus only runs once every hour. I was afraid that you would leave without waiting for us, so I chased you a little hastily. I promise I won't do that next time... Um... Can you pull the bus back? There are other people behind..."

"Humph, young people nowadays are so clumsy... Move back!"

After muttering a few harsh words, the ticket selling lady looked at the female police officer who kept apologizing and did not make things difficult for her. Instead, she asked the driver to stop the car again and let the other two people on board.

However, when the two women and one man got into the carriage and stood up to walk to the back of the carriage, the ticket seller stopped them and angrily said,
"There are only two spots left, one goes down!"

what?
After hearing her words, the three people were all stunned, and the female police officer hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to speak:

"Then they both sit, and I can stand in the aisle..."

"You're making trouble, aren't you?"

After interrupting her and vigorously slapping the sign nailed to the wall of the carriage, the ticket seller glared and said, "This is a four-horse express with a long carriage! No one can stand!"

"but……"

"But what but? Why is the girl so pretty, so she keeps talking nonsense?"

The ticket seller continued to chase people away with an impatient look on her face:

“I’ll say it again, this is an express train, so I don’t have any handles for standing!

If something unexpected happens on the way and the car brakes suddenly, and you are standing in the middle of the aisle, you may fall directly from the last row to the front! You will lose all your face!
So hurry up! One of you three should get off! This trip is already quite late, if we don’t leave now I will be late!”

It seems like this is not going to work...what should I do?
After hearing what the ticket seller said, the man among the other two people immediately gave the female police officer a questioning look.

How about waiting for the next bus? Or waiting for one of the bureau's official cars to come back?

The female police officer immediately understood what her colleague meant and shook her head vigorously.

It takes more than an hour to wait for the next bus, and this is the municipal district, so scattered horse-drawn carriages usually don't come here. If the agreed visiting time is missed, it will be difficult to make an appointment with Ryan's family.

"You go down."

After winking at her colleague, the female police officer put her hand on the third person's shoulder and said seriously:
"It's okay. Although it's against the rules to have one less person, I'm here."

"That's okay."

Remembering her "glorious history" in the past, the male policeman thought it should be no problem for her to escort a weak female prisoner alone, so he nodded in agreement after a slight hesitation.

After handing something to her, the male policeman got out of the car, while the female policeman "kindly" put her arm around the pale-faced woman's shoulders and half-pushed her towards the back of the car.

……

But just as the ticket seller said, this four-horse carriage was already full, with only two empty seats in the last row due to the very noisy environment near the boiler.

In the last row of five seats, on the right was a young couple whispering, and on the left was a young man with his head covered with an old coat, leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly.

Or... find someone to change seats?
After looking at the female prisoner she was holding down, the female police officer couldn't help but hesitate. It was not that she disliked the noise in the last row, but she was worried that the restrained prisoner would hurt others, so she wanted to move the prisoner to a position against the wall of the compartment.

Although she had been very obedient since she was arrested, there was one less police officer escorting her. What if she wanted to escape? Although he was sure he could stop her immediately, it would be bad if she hurt someone.

"this……"

"You two ladies in the back, what are you doing?"

After waiting for a long time without seeing them take a seat, the auntie, who was in a hurry to start the bus, suddenly became anxious and yelled at the top of her voice:

"If you want to sit, sit down! If you don't want to sit down, get out of here! What are you talking about in my car?"

The female police officer shrank her neck when she was scolded, and hurriedly pulled the prisoner down to sit on his seat before the auntie could chase him away.

"beep!!!"

With the shrill sound of the steam whistle and the neighing of the horses, the steam carriage left the platform and gradually accelerated. After the boiler and water tank at the back began to make a shrill noise, the female police officer patted the shoulder of the man covered with the coat and asked politely in a low voice:
"Excuse me sir, could you please do me a favor and change seats with my friend?"
