Chapter 86 Skillful Hands and Care
"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
When he was caught stealing something in front of his face, the short man did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he said with a playful smile:
"Don't be so serious. It's scary. If I really want to steal his things, there are so many opportunities, so why should I be so obsessed with it and have to do it in front of you?
I just heard that there was a new guy in the bureau, and he killed a Holy Spirit before he became a full-time employee. I was a little curious about him, so I just took it out like this..."
"So where's the stuff?"
Ignoring the short man's tirade, the red-haired director extended his hand slightly downwards, knocked hard on the table with the back of his hand, and then squinted his eyes and warned: "Jerry, don't let me say the second word. three times."
"Take it now, take it now!"
Seeing the red-haired director's foxy eyes narrowing more and more tightly, the short man couldn't help but tighten his expression. He hurriedly took out a photo from his arms and placed it on the table.
photo?
After picking up the photo on the table and looking at the couple hugging each other and the little girl holding her parents' hands and smiling happily, the red-haired director couldn't help but feel slightly startled.
In addition to controlling animals, Jerry's most outstanding abnormality is the "Luck Stealing Master", which can forcefully steal an item that has the greatest impact on the target's past life after contacting it, regardless of whether the item is in the target's possession or not. Even if the items on your body are damaged, it will be the same.
So if his ability is correct, the item that had the greatest impact on Leon's past life was the photo on the table?
"Director, what is the ability of this thing? Can you tell me about it?"
Looking at the thoughtful expression of the red-haired director, the extremely curious short man suddenly scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. After enduring it again and again, he still couldn't hold it in. He asked with a flattering look on his face: "Can someone A newcomer who has only been exposed to anomalies for less than a month has the power to cleanse the Holy Spirit one-on-one. This ability must be very powerful, right?"
Um? Is this photo an anomaly? But why is the breath so light? Has it been destroyed many times before?
After hearing the short man's question, the red-haired director couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head decisively and said: "I don't know about this. The sentient abnormal object I use most often is the sheep, and now it has been I gave it to Leon, but I haven’t applied for the new perceptual anomaly yet, so my current perceptual ability is quite average.
If you really want to know the ability of this abnormal object, it is useless to look for me, but there is a person in our bureau who has the ability called [Intelligence Acquisition]. He can know most of the abnormalities just by reaching out and touching it. For information about things, you can go to him and ask. "
What? Are there still people like this in our bureau? !
The short man couldn't help but perked up after hearing this. This ability is a perfect match for him! Apart from anything else, I have stolen... secretly borrowed a lot of things over the years, but either I couldn't activate them at all, or I didn't know the rules and costs and didn't dare to use them indiscriminately.
If you can ask this [Intelligence Acquisition] for help, as long as one-third of the anomalies you have hoarded over the years can be used, you might be able to take your strength to a big level and be promoted to a first-level disaster handler!
"Director, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After daring to complain to the red-haired director, the short man kept rubbing his hands and asked excitedly: "Who is that person? Oh, and his [Intelligence Acquisition] abnormal object Should he change it or not? As long as he wants to change it, he can choose from my collection over the years!”
"It shouldn't be possible to change. His ability is more like a talent that resides in the soul. As for who that person is..."
After giving the short man a joking glance, the red-haired director picked up the photo, shook it, and said with a smile:
"Here, that's the one you just stole."
"..."
"This... you know me..."
Looking at the narrow eyes of the red-haired director, the short man's face collapsed when he realized that he had been tricked, and he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"Although I'm a bit of a kleptomaniac, I never do anything to anyone I know. I usually touch them and look at them before returning them. And even if I'm a stranger, as long as the other person is not a bad guy, I usually won't take away someone's love. This... …Can you…”
"You want to get this thing back and return it secretly, so that Leon will not hate you and refuse to help you, right?" He could see through the short man's thoughts at a glance, and the red-haired director shook his finger and said with a smile. :
"Oops... this is not easy to handle~
Although little Leon has only joined the Cleanup Bureau not long ago, not only is he very attached to me, but he also treats me to a nice drink. If I help you hide it from him, , how can we live up to the friendship between us?"
"..."
Got it, you have to increase the price, right?
Looking at the smiling expression of the red-haired director, the short man had no choice but to give up taking chances and suggested with a pained face: "How about I treat you to a drink too..."
"Ahem, there's no need to mention this. I'm not that kind of person."
After hurriedly stopping the short man before he heard the offer he couldn't refuse, the red-haired director coughed dryly and said with a serious face:
"If I'm not wrong, you want Leon to use his ability to help you identify the 'harvests' of these years, right?"
"right……"
"That's easy to say."
The red-haired director flexed his knuckles, knocked on the table, and then said with a smile:
"Although I don't know how much you have saved over the years, judging from your style, the amount is definitely not small.
And to help you identify so many things at once requires a lot of physical strength and willpower, but it is an out-and-out hard job, so... Is it not too much to let him choose one thing to pay for the hard work? "
"Not too much, not too much."
Although he was still reluctant to give up, the short man, who knew the character of his own director, understood that bargaining would only lead to being ripped off more severely, so he agreed immediately and wisely.
"Okay, just leave the things here with me first, and I will put in a good word for you later."
After nodding with satisfaction, the red-haired director pulled off a piece of hair, tied up the photo of the suspected abnormal object, put it in the drawer, and then said with a smile:
"But the identification of things may have to wait. He still has an important investigation task today. He can't be distracted now. After the investigation task is completed, I will ask him to identify your collection."
"Okay, then I won't go anywhere, I'll just wait in the bureau!"
After nodding happily in agreement, looking at the smiling red-haired director, the short man couldn't contain his curiosity anymore, and couldn't help but said cautiously: "By the way, director, is Leon... and... Are you familiar with the directors of other branches? Or are you favored by a certain director? Or...are you..."
"You want to ask, why do I take care of him so much?"
After glancing at the short man who spoke with deep meaning, the red-haired director said speechlessly: "Before asking this question, I suggest you think carefully about who are the people in our bureau now."
Before the short man could answer, the red-haired director twirled his fingers and counted them one by one:
"The rebel who failed in the coup, the pervert who had an affair with the Prime Minister's wife, the thief who stole from the royal family, the gambling dog who lost the kingdom's reserve fund, the food transport officer who went the wrong way on the battlefield and almost starved to death of 30,000 people, the R&D officer The pharmacist who made a mistake in the medicine and left half of the county submerged in a sea of shit..."
Looking at the short man who looked a little embarrassed, the red-haired director squinted his eyes and concluded: "If you don't join the cleanup bureau, you guys will basically start with the death penalty per capita. Even now, you are always being stared at, and you even think about it. You must report in advance before leaving the royal capital to go on a mission.
As for Lyon, he has a clean net worth, good character, smart and alert, down-to-earth and hard-working, and his talent is quite outstanding. He killed a Holy Spirit before he was out of the probation period... You said it yourself, compared with you, I don't take care of you. Who does he take care of? "
