Chapter 630

[Food God: There are only wrong names, not wrong titles. Among the cleaners of the Clearing Bureau, the most outstanding will inevitably gain fame through one task after another and slowly earn widely recognized exclusive titles.

And after experiencing several extremely dangerous missions, the “Food God” of the Clearing Bureau has successfully replaced “Foodie Leon” as your most acknowledged personal alias.]

[Equip Effect: Due to your well-known special preferences, after you either willingly reveal or get outed, all nearby Level 1 and below cleaners who learn this information will immediately gain an unremovable fear effect.]

[Ascension Path: None]

[Hidden Trait (No Equip Needed): Influenced by your infamy, in inter-division joint operations you participate in, the obedience of Level 1 and below cleaners towards you will drastically increase, but there’s also a chance they might quietly flee.]

“…”

What the heck is this terrible badge…

Leon stared at the shining [Food God] in his badge slot, face full of speechlessness, then decisively took it off, pretending he never got this thing.

There are only two effects, and both just brutally punish teammates. It’d be better not to wear it at all. The meaning of this thing’s existence is no different from that incompetent Archer Director—it’s here just for laughs.

“Toc toc toc.”

Just as Leon was flipping through his badges, pondering if he could conjure up some new useful combinations, the door to his office was suddenly knocked on. A somewhat timid voice asked outside the door, “Leon-senpai, are you free right now?”

“…”

If I’m being called senpai, it must be that [Damaged Miss] outside the door… wait, am I really getting called senpai now?

Called senpai awkwardly, Leon couldn’t help but instinctively cough dryly, then straightened up behind his desk and responded loudly,

“I’m free! Come in!”

“Ah, okay!”

With Leon’s permission, the “Damaged Miss” still wearing her old velvet skirt entered Leon’s office with her head slightly bowed. She hesitated a bit before saying, “That… Leon-senpai, yesterday… um… I encountered some strange things, so I wanted to ask you…”

“…”

Not… I don’t eat people, why are you acting so nervous? Looking at the Damaged Miss standing in front of him, hands tightly clasped in front of her abdomen, face practically written all over with social anxiety, Leon couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless as he said, “Laera-san, you really don’t need to be so nervous. We’re colleagues. Just ask me whatever you want directly.

Also, though you were recommended by me to join, I haven’t been in the Clearing Bureau for long either, basically making us peers. So stop calling me senpai and just call my name.”

“Ho…okay…”

Unconsciously stepping back half a step, Damaged Miss whispered like a mosquito,

“Mr. Leon, I… I had a dream last night, and… and somehow, I ended up dreaming about you…”

Had a dream? And dreamed about me? Hearing Laera’s words, Leon couldn’t help but arch an eyebrow in surprise, then realized something and asked with mild astonishment, “You didn’t dream about yesterday’s promotion test, did you?”

Promotion test… what’s that? Upon hearing this, Damaged Miss looked up confusedly, answering cautiously,

“Sorry, I don’t know what the promotion test is, but first I dreamed of you sitting on a stool drawing, then… then you chopped hundreds of people with a knife, and then… then I don’t know how, suddenly you were together with another you, eating everything you saw…”

“…”

Good grief, you pretty much saw everything, huh? So when me and Armin-senpai were taking the promotion test, you were spectating from the sidelines in your dreams!” “…Sorry!”

Seeing Leon’s expression of speechlessness, Laera immediately retreated backward nervously, then blushed bright red while apologizing again:

“…Then Olivia Director seemed busy and didn’t have time to listen to me, so I… anyway… anyway, I’ve disturbed you! Please forget all the nonsense I just said!”

“Wait.”

Seeing she was about to run away, Leon quickly stood up, went around the desk, and blocked the Damaged Miss who had abruptly bowed deeply and was prepared to escape from his office.

“You don’t leave yet… uh… actually, what you dreamed isn’t entirely nonsense.”

“?!”

In Laera’s somewhat puzzled expression, Leon cleared his throat, eyes slightly shifting as he said,

“At the time, I and another senior from the bureau were participating in the promotion test held in the Dream Realm by the General Bureau. What you dreamed of should be the situation then.”

Meaning… what I dreamed really happened? You really… really ate everything you saw? Hearing Leon’s words, the Damaged Miss couldn’t help but widen her eyes, then stammered in terror, “Mr. Leon, you… I… In our bureau, to ascend, do we really have to eat… do that kind of thing? This… this…”

“Cough cough cough, it’s not like you think.”

After simply explaining the situation to Laera, mainly telling her that he doesn’t eat people, Leon couldn’t help but curiously ask upon seeing the Damaged Miss take a deep breath, “Miss Laera, apart from me and Armin-senpai’s matters, did you dream about anything else yesterday?”

None of the content within lies in 69 Book Bar!

“There were some other things too…”

Hearing this, the Damaged Miss hesitated for a moment, then sneakily glanced at Leon and timidly said, “I dreamed of you… no, the person who looks exactly like you, discussing something with someone called ‘Water’ Director in a pitch-black river, saying they were preparing… preparing to make a move against our Virgo Subdivision…”

“?!??!”

…

“Leon?”

Seeing Leon burst into the room in a hurry, the Red-haired Bureau Director, looking weary, waved a hand and frowned,

“Actually, I was about to find you. The meeting at the General Bureau has concluded, and the situation is very bad…”

“?”

Hearing the opening remarks from the Red-haired Bureau Director, Leon, who was also ready to report bad news, was momentarily stunned, then asked,

“Does the General Bureau not have any solutions?”

“They do have methods, but whether they’re good or not is uncertain…”

The Red-haired Bureau Director shook his head,

“The current situation is clear to you. Honorable Taurus’s preparations for ascending to the palace are already complete, and cannot be delayed further. But the other two directors have run into issues, and it’s uncertain if they can ensure Honorable Taurus’s safety.

So the Archer Director proposed that six bureau directors from the Zodiac Divisions, including myself, temporarily abandon guarding our own territories and collectively go to the General Bureau, prioritizing ensuring that the Taurus Director can smoothly ascend.”

What?!

Upon hearing this, Leon couldn’t help but shrink his pupils instantly and hurriedly asked, “What about the Execution King Assembly side? If six Zodiac Bureau Directors are withdrawn at once, isn’t it like handing over six kingdoms to the Execution King Assembly?”
