I! Cleaner!
Chapter 133 - 133: 0114 Divination?_1

Again with this question?

Hearing the princess's words, the lethargic young man pondered for a moment. He didn't immediately throw the dice. Instead, he suggested,

"Your Highness Veronica, although the results of my dice only reflect the present moment and, in cases involving a long time span, the conditions and outcomes often change, but they don't always change every time. Since the last time you asked this question, only a few months have passed. If you ask again now, the result shouldn't be much different, so it's best to ask a new question."

"No, I'll stick with this one."

The princess shook her head, speaking calmly,

"This is my innate responsibility, and it's my only hope at the moment. What else could I ask about?"

"Since you insist, very well."

After shrugging helplessly, the lethargic young man released his right hand, and two dice tumbled onto the table, bouncing a few times before landing on two bright red ones.

"Due to the Ryan Family matters, your chance of saving the Kingdom has indeed increased by two points since last time, reaching eleven percent."

The lethargic young man spoke as he lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, causing the two dice to roll again.

"Next is controlling the military department and cooperating with the Minister of Defense. By filling the vacant positions left by the Ryan Family, the probability will increase by another two points. Next, join forces with the Prime Minister and intervene in the Upper House to suppress the Old Nobility. Then unite with the Old Nobility to suppress the Lower House and introduce bills to restrict certain commercial activities and increase taxes. After doing these, the probability will rise to twenty-six points. After that, find a way to become the Queen and take advantage of clearing the rebels and resisting the new wave of invasion. Seize the opportunity to reclaim military, financial, legislative, personnel, and other powers, and promote a group of officials who share your vision. By then, the probability would leap to fifty-one points..."

It was indeed similar to the last time.

Listening to the gradually increasing probability and these things she was already planning to do, the princess couldn't help but smile, then slightly shake her head.

Indeed, if she accomplished all this, she'd certainly have the ability to save the country, but these tasks were not as simple as ordering a carriage load of fruit or secretly removing its wheels.

Each and every suggestion he made would require countless days and nights of exhausting effort and tough negotiations over years to implement. *The road she had to walk was still very long...*

"Clatter, clatter!"

Just as the princess was listening attentively, for some unknown reason, the dice on the table, after reaching "fifty-one," did not continue to "sixty-six," but instead started to spin rapidly.

Under the wide-eyed gaze of the lethargic young man, the two dice on the table spun faster and faster, eventually causing the hardwood desk to emit black smoke and a pungent burning smell to fill the entire room.

What was going on?!

Although Anomalous Objects were almost impossible to destroy this way, the lethargic young man instinctively reached out to stop them, trying to forcibly halt the dice, but as soon as his hand touched them, the rapidly spinning dice cut into his palm.

As he hurriedly withdrew his hand in pain, the two blood-stained dice clattered against each other a few times and eventually stopped moving. Two sharp corners pointed towards the ceiling, lying quietly in the small pits worn into the table.

"..."

Seeing the lethargic young man's stunned gaze at the dice, the princess couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart and hurriedly asked,

"Why are the two corners, which represent 'zero,' facing up? What does this mean?"

"It means... this time, it didn't fully succeed."

Glancing at the dice stained with his own blood and the rings of blood left on the table, the lethargic young man covered his still-bleeding right hand, frowning,

"The question you asked involved a Leon Value of over sixty... What I mean is, a True God level existence noticed our probing and thus blocked this inquiry."

*A True God? How did this end up involving a True God again?*

As someone aware of the existence of the Purification Bureau and Anomalous Objects, the princess also knew some intelligence about True Gods, understanding that they weren't as grand and generous as described by believers. Her expression immediately tightened.

"Could it be... that a True God will descend upon the Kingdom in the future?"

"Probably not."

The lethargic young man shook his head at these words, hesitating slightly,

"A True God level existence doesn't necessarily mean it's a True God. While I didn't see the appearance of the one involved, judging by the size, it seemed to be a human, just with multiple wings on its back, and..."

And strangely familiar...

Recalling the vision he had just seen, the image of the black-haired, black-eyed, slightly lean "True God" with multicolored wings on its back was firmly imprinted in his memory. The lethargic young man reassured,

"And it may not even be targeting the Kingdom. If it really is a True God, you might conflict with a believer of interest to them in the future, or have some cooperation, or perhaps meet several times consecutively. These incidents have a probability of being detected by him and interrupting the probing.

However, with our Purification Bureau here, there won't be significant problems. Numerous True Gods have attempted to descend before, but all were eventually driven back. No True God can remain long-term in this world, so you don't need to worry too much."

*But that was a True God! How could I not worry?*

Hearing the lethargic young man's words, the princess couldn't help but take a deep breath and then asked,

"So, can you try to roll the dice again? To confirm the situation."

"Sorry, that's truly not possible..."

Raising his still-bleeding palm, the lethargic young man waved it in front of the princess, helplessly saying,

"That existence's personality seemed relatively mild. After discovering my probing, he didn't get angry, only gave a slight punishment.

But if I continue to recklessly probe the future, although getting killed is unlikely, at the very least, I'd be bedridden for several months."

"Alright, thank you for your efforts."

Sighing in disappointment, the princess silently took out a checkbook, not only paying the agreed-upon fee but also adding a generous bonus. She then advised,

"After some time, if that True God is no longer watching you..."

"Then I'll immediately make up for this result, and notify you quickly of any anomalies."

After providing this assurance to an "old customer," the travel-worn lethargic young man took out a bandage, wrapped his injured right hand, decisively took his leave, retrieved his stored suitcase, and headed to the Purification Bureau.

Although the bureau chief was relatively easygoing, the headquarters had set quite stringent management rules for his precious abilities, which could easily change the situation.

Especially regarding whereabouts, every place he went and everyone he contacted must be meticulously reported, so only during the gaps following task completion could he sneak out to earn some "extra money."

And he had already delayed almost two days helping a new colleague ascend to the duke's throne; any further delay in his return to task settlement could result in facing headquarters' scrutiny alongside the new colleague.

Pushing open the heavy door to the Purification Bureau, towing the suitcase through the dim hallway, he saw sunlight illuminating the end of the corridor, with the director's office door seemingly open. Hesitating slightly, he decided not to return directly to his office, but instead, he took out a prepared task report and headed to the director's office.

"Director, I've returned from the investigation... ah... my apologies."

Ready to speak, he noticed others in the office and politely apologized, then instinctively glanced at his colleague in the room.

A young man with black hair, black eyes, and a slightly narrow frame looked back at him with mild surprise...
