CHAPTER 657: CHAPTER 592: WITNESS

Through the soul vision of the Black Goat, after observing the essence of the thin woman’s soul, Leon couldn’t help but show a hesitant expression.

From the perspective of abnormal object abilities alone, Miss Laila’s ability is actually quite outstanding. After all, in the work of a Cleaner, intelligence and information are extremely important.

As long as the difference in Contamination Value between the two sides does not reach an overwhelming level, some Level 3 Cleaners with targeted abilities still have the possibility of toppling a Level 1 Cleaner.

But the problem is that the Cleaner’s work is not just about investigation. When dealing with various abnormal events, it’s inevitably going to encounter some crazy opponents, so there is actually quite a high requirement for "courage."

And this Miss Laila... her soul may be kind, but her personality is somewhat overly timid, even inferior to the average person. I fear that if someone just shouted at her, she’d run away with her head in her arms.

If she became a Cleaner and encountered an opponent like an obsessive maniac, a killer, or a fanatic, probably the other party wouldn’t even need to speak, one glance and she’d already be weak at the knees...

Hmm... better have some contact first to see what her situation really is, then ask the Director tomorrow. If she truly is not suitable to be a Cleaner, think of a way to arrange a more stable job for her, to prevent her from getting randomly involved in any Kingdom secrets.

After pondering for a moment, Leon collected the assessment form into the mirror world, stepped down from the second floor, and called out:

"Aunt Mary."

"Leon? You came down so quickly?"

"Yeah, Feiliya only looks like a child, but she’s actually an adult, so she doesn’t need much of my help."

After casually responding, Leon turned his head towards the thin woman, whose eyes were puffy from crying, and inquired as if unaware:

"And this is..."

"Ah, this is a tenant of our apartment, Miss Laila from the room on the very edge of the third floor. She’s been having some trouble recently, and I’m comforting her..."

After briefly introducing the situation of the thin woman, the administrator lady seemed to remember something, and with a look of expectation, she inquired:

"Leon, I can assure you, Laila is definitely not a bad person and works very hard. So if it’s convenient, could you help her find a job?"

"Sure, we’re just hiring."

Leon was here precisely for this reason, and even if Miss Laila wasn’t suitable for being a Cleaner, simply to prevent her abnormal object from causing trouble, he would definitely find her a job. The only question was whether or not it would be as a Cleaner. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse at this moment.

In the thin woman’s expression of great relief, Leon extended his right hand to her, smiling gently:

"I’m called Leon, currently working at the Police Department, barely counts as a policeman... nice to meet you."

"Ah?"

Faced with Leon’s somewhat formal gesture, the thin woman was obviously startled, immediately wiping her hands on her skirt, and timidly shook hands with Leon, somewhat stammering:

"I... I’m called Laila... I’m... I’m looking for a job... I... thank you for your help! I will definitely work hard!"

"Zzz..."

Amidst a familiar buzz, information about the thin woman immediately appeared before Leon’s eyes.

[Name: Miss Breakthrough (Miracle, Luck)]

[Appearance: A human female with delicate and beautiful features, industrious and hardworking, often appearing in many places where she shouldn’t, and fleeing in panic after causing a commotion]

[Ability: Secret Witness, Perfect Avoidance]

[Cost: None]

[File: An ordinary citizen of the Old Town in the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Lutung, often in a state of unemployment because she frequently stumbles upon secrets she shouldn’t know, was chased away by her bosses 69 times in one year, and was unemployed for a total of 115 days.

Although she often discovers extremely dangerous secrets, because of her timid and harmless nature, she rarely raises others’ vigilance. Thus, she has never suffered excessively harsh retaliation, merely being scolded and driven away.]

[Evaluation: Secret Nemesis, Scandal Breaker, Kill-On-Opening Master... Wherever important events occur, you’ll certainly find her footprints. Though she keeps a tight lip, not even the True God can keep a secret from her, the unlucky working person.]

[Contamination Value: 38]

Wait! How much?

Having read the description of [Miss Breakthrough], Leon’s expression involuntarily stiffened, with disbelief clearly evident in his eyes.

Thirty-eight Contamination Points!

The threshold for a Level 1 Cleaner is only 31 Contamination Points! So this woman who’s even afraid of looking people in the eye is actually a wild Level 1 Cleaner?!!!

?!

Feeling Leon’s grip suddenly tighten, the thin woman was startled, instinctively withdrawing her hand, opening her swollen crying eyes, and fearfully glancing at Leon, then...

"Ah!"

Upon clearly seeing Leon’s face, the thin woman cried out in shock, retreating several steps with a look of sheer terror in her eyes.

"..."

Seeing the obviously frightened expression on her face, Leon couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in surprise, then with some curiosity, he asked:

"Have you seen me before?"

Upon hearing Leon’s inquiry, the thin woman’s head shook like a rattle.

"No... no... I haven’t seen you!"

Liar.

Gazing at her chaotic soul, realizing she was lying, Leon couldn’t help but squint his eyes in contemplation. But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn’t remember having met her anywhere before.

"Miss Laila."

After a moment of pondering, Leon switched to [Master Performer], earnestly coaxing:

"Though I don’t know why you’re unwilling to tell me the truth, there’s something you can rest assured about, I’m not a bad person and I won’t harm you just because you stumbled upon some secret.

However, the department I work in is a special branch of the Police Department, and it has confidentiality requirements, so it’s best if you tell me where you’ve seen me, otherwise I’ll have no choice but to take you back for investigation.

Apart from that, you’ll also lose the opportunity to get a new job from me if you don’t cooperate with the investigation... Miss Laila, I hope you will consider my proposal carefully."

"I..."

"Laila!"

Not expecting things to develop this way, the administrator lady next to her panicked as well, quickly reaching out to pat the thin woman lightly, urging:

"Come on, just tell him! Leon is a good kid; as long as you cooperate, he definitely won’t harm you!"

"But... but..."

"But what! Do you think I would harm you?"

"Well... alright then..."

Although her soul seemed as if it had been swept by a tornado, filled with resistance, under the administrator lady’s persuasion, and the threat of investigation and losing her job, the thin woman finally tremblingly said:

"I... I worked at the Green Boots Restaurant on Hansen Street... saw you fighting with someone in the booth..."

The Green Boots Restaurant on Hansen Street?

Upon hearing this place name, Leon pondered for quite a while before recalling, at that time, he had taken the evidence from the Water Plant incident intending to publish it, and he had arranged to meet the editor-in-chief of the Daily News there.

And the editor-in-chief of the Daily News tried to snatch the evidence from him, which angered him, using the power of the ram’s head to teach him a harsh lesson... so she was present at that time too?

"Also... the Ryan Family."

After hesitantly glancing at Leon, the thin woman stammered:

"On the night the Ryan Family incident happened, I... I was cleaning the exterior walls of the mansion, and saw... saw you jumping out of the Duke’s bedroom on the sixth floor..."

"..."

Damn... you were there during the Ryan Blood Night too?

"And... the Charl Department Store was having a big sale, I went to buy discounted food... saw that scary giant toad..."

"..."

"One night while I was sweeping the streets outside the palace walls, I saw the Princess sticking her head out the window, calling your name, and... and sending you a flying kiss..."

"..."

"About a month ago, when someone hired me to clean a cruise ship, I saw you on the dock, waiting for a man named Edward with a big suitcase..."

"..."

"I saw you from a shoeshine stand outside Parliament Street, you dragged a big freckled boy out of the parliament hall, and forced him into a carriage..."

"..."

"Before, when I was cleaning the windows of the clock tower on Baso Street, I saw you with over ten people in the private room of the restaurant across the street, changing into police uniforms and then..."

"..."

"And..."

"Alright, that’s enough!"

After gesturing for her to stop, a somewhat overwhelmed Leon grasped the thin woman’s hands tightly, his face twitching as he said:

"Please, you must join our Clean-up Bureau! You were born for this!"
