Chapter 612

Watching as Big Sister Stool pulled out bottle after bottle of strange reagents, kindly distributing them to all the Cleaners with an unusually enthusiastic attitude, Leon’s expression couldn’t help but become weird.

This is feeding rocks! It must be feeding rocks!

After hearing Amien Senior’s glorious history from Phelia and knowing that she would also participate in this evaluation, I specially checked Amien Senior’s resume secretly.

Although with my mere Level 3 Cleaner clearance, the archives I could see weren’t many, but Amien Senior’s “characteristics” were too prominent. Whether it was her way of joining the Clearing Bureau or the methods and evaluations of various tasks, they were all inseparable from the word “poop.”

Especially the reagents she took out, although their effects were extremely powerful, if you drank them… let’s just say, either you would start uncontrollably making a ton of poop after drinking, or you’d straight-up eat poop! And Amien Senior seemed to be the type who was obsessed with research, rarely going on missions normally, and even fewer joint missions with other subdivisions, so not many people knew about her “hobbies.”

The Cleaners who came for the evaluation, aside from some people politely declining with odd expressions, the vast majority were deceived by her amiable demeanor, taking the reagents she handed over without any guard and directly chugging them down. Some people even licked their lips afterward, still craving more.

And not long after, all those who had drunk the reagents she gave off were suddenly surrounded by a unique and strong smell, easily covering their original presence, perfectly hiding everyone’s existence. But…

“What’s this smell?”

“Strange, why does it smell like musk?”

“Um… you… you guys stay away from me…”

Being overwhelmed by the intense stench blowing in the wind, Leon’s eyes twitched, hurriedly retreating several steps, then immediately pulling out the [Silver Knife] and wildly slashing, cutting off all the fecal gas rushing forward. Only then did he feel a bit better.

After distributing the reagents, Amien Senior walked back with a satisfied face, first looking surprisingly at the Silver Knife in Leon’s hand, then slightly regretfully putting away the only transparent colorless reagent.

“This knife suits you well. Since you have your own way of eliminating your presence, I won’t give you my reagent.”

“Hmm hmm, I’ll do it myself!”

Although the reagent Amien Senior kept for me was colorless, it was probably because we were colleagues in the Virgo Subdivision, intentionally holding back. But Leon really didn’t dare to trust his… taste buds to Amien Senior’s integrity, so he changed the subject:

“By the way, Amien Senior, why didn’t those who drank the reagent notice… the smell?”

“Because my reagents can influence the drinker’s senses, including their nose.”

After casually explaining the reason, Amien pulled the Twin Fish Director, who was full of curiosity, and smiled gently at Leon:

“Don’t worry. According to Director Olivia’s requirements, unless it’s an unavoidable situation, the reagents I give to Virgo Subdivision companions are basically special ones. Although the effect might be less, there’s nothing normal people can’t accept.”

“Ah… is that so…”

Director is wise! After awkwardly laughing, Leon continued chatting idly with Big Sister Stool for a few more sentences, then asked about other intelligence related to Soulfall Black Abyss. Meanwhile, the numerous Cleaners who concealed their presence through… reagents completed their preparations before departure one after another.

“Stand firm!”

With a light shout, the Ashima Alpha that Leon had hacked apart earlier leapt up like a silver fish. Then its figure instantly exploded, and countless dazzling silver raindrops fell densely, drenching all four hundred plus Cleaners into shiny little silver people.

As his whole body was covered in silver, Leon was surprised to find that the world before his eyes seemed to slow down abruptly. Although the black river water of the Nightmare River remained as turbulent as ever, the speed at which it surged forward slowed down several times.

Hmm… this thing may be easy to cut, but it seems to have some substance! Unable to resist his curiosity, Leon reached out and touched his arm dyed silver.

[Name: Minothil Curse Mercury (Speed, Flesh, Metal)]

[Appearance: A silvery-white special metal with extremely high fluidity while also being able to completely solidify under willpower. After fully integrating with flesh, it allows the body to gain the same special properties as the curse silver.]

[Ability: Speedster, Flesh Integration, Metallic Body]

[Cost: The extra speed gained after activating the curse mercury will be deducted equally from the user’s lifespan (no cost required if approved by the holder).]

[File: The underground city of Minothil has a huge natural pool of mercury, once being one of the important sources of mercury for the Vandastone Kingdom. Until nine years ago, the secret association “Great Elemental Gems Society” attacked the city of Minothil, causing the mercury pool to flood backward into the old district.

A total of 1525 residents in the old district of Minoth City were eroded by the secret spell mercury, turning into mercury creatures that couldn’t form solid bodies. Only a young man named Ashima Alpha managed to escape…]

[Evaluation: One of the “works” of the secret association Great Elemental Gems Society, with both effects and costs being quite substantial.

Also, although curse mercury isn’t ordinary mercury, you should still try to stay away from high-temperature areas, otherwise both you and the user of this anomaly may suffer significant damage.]

[Taint Value: 19.9 (16.1)]

Minothil Curse Mercury… Looking at this name with a strong sense of déjà vu, Leon’s eyebrows couldn’t help but wrinkle slightly.

As another “little silver person” of the Virgo Subdivision, the anomalous item composing Pione Senior’s body is called [Meybis Curse Silver], with a name very similar to this thing and also being the work of the secret association called “Great Elemental Gems Society.”

This matter… Let me note it down first. After completing the evaluation and returning to the bureau, I need to tell Pione Senior about this intelligence closely related to his condition. It might be useful to him.

“Leon?”

Seeing Leon frown after touching the silver metal covering his arm, Big Sister Stool couldn’t help but ask curiously:

“What’s wrong? Is there something strange about this thing?”

“There is a bit, but it’s unrelated to this evaluation… Sorry, keep you waiting. Let’s go!”

Looking at the numerous Cleaners already transformed into streaks of silver light advancing into the Soulfall Black Abyss, Leon couldn’t help but smile apologetically, then stepped forward, chasing after the distant Cleaners.

After hearing his explanation, Amien didn’t ask further but nodded and followed suit. However…

“Wait!”

Pulling Amien back from the state of extreme speed, the Twin Fish Director tilted her clean little face, pouting unhappily: “Bottle~ This game of pretending not to know you is so boring. How much longer do we have to play?”
