Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 458 Kroc’s Current Situation

Take it.

After hearing what the female reporter said, the corners of Leon's mouth could not help but curl up secretly, and then he continued to maintain a sad expression on his face and asked coldly:

"Then let me ask you, why did Director Aquarius break into Joshua's dream a few nights ago? What did he want to do?"

"He wants to protect the royal capital."

Oh, it turns out you want to destroy... huh?

"It's true."

Seeing Leon's astonished expression, the female reporter couldn't help but said:

"Before the Nightmare King came, the Director asked me to take the [Dream Traveling Lantern] and collect 300,000 dreams about the Royal Capital to create a dream King's City that was just like the real one.

If you really can't stop the Nightmare King and let it come successfully, the director will smash the [Dream Traveling Lantern] and let the dream about the royal capital inside come out in one breath.

In this case, even if the Nightmare King comes, he will be trapped by the 300,000 dreams and will never reach the real King's Capital. When the Blood-haired Ji Kong takes action, he can enter the Dream King's Capital and directly kill the Nightmare King. "

“…”

He actually told the truth...

After taking a look at the female reporter's soul state, he found that she was not lying. Leon couldn't help but frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Apart from anything else, if Aquarius hadn't delivered false news and transferred the people from the Maiden Branch, which resulted in the failure to clear out the Black Sect's stronghold of Nightmare Worshipers in time, the Black Abyss of Fallen Souls would not have come at all, and even more so if the King of Nightmare entered reality. There is no way to talk about it.

Therefore, it can be said that the incident of the arrival of the Nightmare King was caused by Director Aquarius, but why did he help the Nightmare King to come while helping the Maiden Branch to protect the royal capital? Could it be that...

"Is there any conflict between Director Aquarius and the Nightmare King?"

"right…"

Seeing that Leon had guessed some of the truth after just thinking about it for a moment, the female reporter couldn't help but look at him in surprise, then nodded and admitted:

"In order to return to the best condition, Director, he directly released his soul and let the Nightmare King plant a mark in it. Therefore, if the Nightmare King is not killed, he can directly control or even enslave him."

No wonder…

After listening to the female reporter's words, Leon couldn't help but have a look of understanding in his eyes.

Rather than saying that Director Aquarius wants to protect the royal capital, it is better to say that he wants the Nightmare King to die.

After all, even if the Nightmare King successfully arrives, there is a high probability that he will not be able to kill the Director, but he will be enslaved by the Nightmare King. In comparison, for Director Aquarius, killing the Nightmare King is definitely more important.

"Haha, let's just say he wants to protect the royal capital."

Hearing what the female reporter said, she was still very protective of Director Aquarius, but Leon didn't really have any blood feud with Director Aquarius, so he didn't dwell on it, but continued to ask:

"I just heard you calling him Director, so please continue to tell me, what is the situation in the Gemini Branch now? Where is the Kingdom of Korok?"

"The Twin Branch...has basically been shut down."

After looking up at Leon, the female reporter said hesitantly:

"Many years ago, the Kingdom of Crook built a machine that could think. However, the machine named Atifei 01 was not very smart and could only undertake some relatively basic tasks, but in basic work far superior to humans.

So the scholars of the Kingdom of Korok renovated the kingdom's factories and public facilities, and connected Atifi 01 to replace low-end human work, so that more people can be liberated from basic labor. , invest in the research and development of new technologies.

At the beginning, it was just some basic production work such as planting and manufacturing. Later, work such as travel, construction, defense, and auditing were gradually handed over to Atife01..." "These are not urgent. Said. "

After learning about the omnic crisis in the Kingdom of Korok, Atifi 128, which had been captured from the airship, Leon interrupted the female reporter and said:

"Now I want to know more about what's going on in the Twin Branches of the Cleanup Bureau, and what's happened to the people in the Kingdom of Korok."

"The Twin Branch has been controlled. All the cleaners have been implanted and must obey the instructions of Atifi 01."

The female reporter bit her lower lip and said:

"After Atifi 01 took control of some key facilities, he completely blocked those places and began to clear out those who had the authority to stop them. Then the Gemini Branch realized something was wrong and was about to destroy it, but it sank to the ground in advance. Buried underground."

"Sink to the ground?"

"Um…"

The female reporter explained:

"The buildings in the core area of ​​the Crook Kingdom are all separated honeycomb-shaped blocks. They can be spliced ​​to each other by chutes and connecting rails, and can also be adjusted to a certain extent by adjusting the number of floating crystals at the bottom. move up and down.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

And Atifi 01 seemed to be aware of the existence of the Cleanup Bureau, and had renovated several nearby blocks in advance in the name of component repairs and mechanism replacements. Therefore, the Twin Branch was immediately sunk and closed before they even took action. "

"Then you can't fight out?"

"No one who can fight out is here."

The female reporter said helplessly:

"Atifi 01 has no soul, and it does not rely on the soul to store memories. The [Phantom Can] that can modify the memory is ineffective against it, so its records probably contain information about most of the liquidators of the Gemini Branch.

And those cleaners who had outstanding destructive power and were able to break the blockade were transferred away by the 'abnormal information' compiled by it in advance and went out to clean up the abnormal objects, leaving behind only the cleaners who were not very destructive.

The people who stayed can't be said to be weak, but they are only good at dealing with flesh and blood creatures, or soul memories. Facing a solid wall with a thickness of more than 20 meters, there is really nothing they can do.

Although the director was capable of solving the problem, he only talked to Atifi 01 once, but in the end he did not take action. Instead, he went back to the bureau to get some things, and then took me out of the Kingdom of Korok. "

“…”

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and Aquarius has ulterior motives, so you really did not lose unfairly.

After keeping the situation of the Twin Branches in mind and preparing to report to the director later, Leon continued to ask:

"What about ordinary people? After being taken over by Atifei 01, how are the people of the Kingdom of Korok doing?"

"They...are not bad?"

The female reporter hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said with some uncertainty:

"I went back last year. Everything there is now controlled by Atifi01. It's better than when it was controlled by people. The food is free, and even the poor and beggars are raised.

Except that the original scholars have been forcibly recruited and ordinary people have almost no jobs and need to take some tests regularly, most people seem to be much better off than before. "
