I! Cleaner!
Chapter 149 - 149: 0130 A Person's Gunfight_1

Someone was coming downstairs!

Hearing footsteps from the stairwell, Leon, who had destroyed more than half of the dungeon, immediately stopped and pulled the policewoman back. He then pressed against the Black Goat's horns.

"Director?"

Seeing the scar-faced burly man emerging from the stairwell, the policewoman, despite being prepared, couldn't help an inexplicable wave of bitterness from washing over her heart. *Her chief might have been a bit cowardly, always habitually retreating in the face of trouble, unwilling to engage in any trouble at all, but he was actually a pretty decent person.*

*Working together at the Secret Investigation Bureau for several years, they had partnered on nearly a hundred missions, even facing several life-and-death crises together. In her heart, he was almost as close as an elder uncle or family relative.*

*But who knew that the director was actually a rebel infiltrating the Secret Investigation Bureau, and those experiences in the past were all fake! Even the crises she encountered might have been orchestrated by him!*

"Yisha."

Looking at the policewoman with a complex expression, probably remembering the past years, the scar-faced burly man's expression softened slightly. He sighed and said,

"Since it's come to this point, I won't say much more.

I actually don't dislike you. It's just unfortunate you're the daughter of the Minister of Defense, and ultimately not one of us. The more someone like you works hard, the deeper the Kingdom will slip into the Abyss…

So I'm sorry, today not only he will die here, but you as well."

After hearing the scar-faced burly man's words, the policewoman gritted her teeth but didn't engage his comment, instead speaking with full of anger,

"Aunt Marsha was located by the rebels last year, and on the way to pick up her daughter from school, she was kidnapped. Her body was finally thrown into the garbage dump on Bridge Street. Was this…"

"It wasn't me, but it was indeed my information that was sent back."

The scar-faced burly man sighed and said,

"Marsha was a good person, but she was responsible for coordinating with the royal family's honor guard and was the only one who knew the travel routes of the Princess and Prime Minister. Thus, I had no choice but to report her address back.

And not only her, out of the forty or so people who died in the bureau over the years, probably about a third were because I leaked the intelligence, leading them to be blown up or taken away, including some of your friends and acquaintances.

I'm sorry, not all of them were scum that deserved to die, but sometimes people just have to go against their heart and do something…"

"Bang!"

"Well... Since that's the case, let's stop talking."

Touching the bloody hole in his forehead, and looking at the policewoman in front maintaining a shooting stance with a face full of shock, the scar-faced burly man couldn't help shaking his head and looked sideways at Leon blocking in front of the policewoman.

"Yisha shot me, why won't you make a move? I've been to Ryan Manor, you should possess a terrifyingly powerful Anomalous Object."

"....."

Glancing at the scar-faced burly man whose forehead had been shot through but was still alive and kicking, Leon judged that this guy wasn't the type to easily reveal his Ability, so he chose to ignore his question and continued searching for his true body's location.

The moment he heard the footsteps, Leon, who had remained vigilant, used the soul vision of the Black Goat to examine the situation. Although the "scar-faced burly man" had a body in front of them, there was no soul inside, just a strange empty shell.

Even more bizarre, in the Black Goat's vision, the entire world had no change, and the souls of the Secret Investigation Bureau's people were all normal, as if the loud noise made when dismantling the dungeon did not exist at all.

As for the souls of other prisoners and guards in the dungeon, they remained in those empty cells. Even in front of him, a soul of a guard quietly drifted by, but in reality, there was nothing there at all. It was like...

Like they weren't on the same "layer!"

...

While Leon continued to ponder the true nature of the scar-faced burly man's Ability, the policewoman, unwilling to relent, gritted her teeth and emptied the clip, firing six nails simultaneously.

The scar-faced burly man, having made no effort to dodge the policewoman's skilled American-style iaido, had his face turned into a gory mess, the kind of wreck that would be heavily censored for television.

But he still didn't die, even attempting to open his mouth to say something. It was only after the policewoman replaced the gas canister and shot him in the throat again did he finally lie down obediently.

"It seems you're really not going to make a move."

Along with steady footsteps, another "scar-faced burly man" walked out of the stairwell, kicked aside the body on the ground, and stood once more in front of Leon and the policewoman.

Seeing Leon merely glance at him before frowning again in thought, the new scar-faced burly man shook his head with a somewhat helpless expression.

"You are cautious... very well."

The scar-faced burly man said as he released the buckle on his tactical belt, completing the entire sequence of drawing a gun, disabling the safety, and aiming in less than 0.5 seconds. The muzzle aimed directly at Leon's forehead.

Yet, although he was quick, he still wasn't faster than the policewoman, who always maintained a shooting stance.

Probably having realized headshots were ineffective, the policewoman changed her target this time, directly shooting the scar-faced burly man in the wrist, preventing his shot at Leon ahead of time.

"Guh…"

Looking at his wrist bone that was directly pierced, the scar-faced burly man glanced at the policewoman with some displeasure, appearing quite unhappy with her interference. Yet, the next second, his throat took another shot, and he could only fall backward with a thud.

"What a hassle!"

With a slight murmur of dissatisfaction, two "scar-faced burly men" simultaneously came out of the stairwell, then immediately drew guns from a distance.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Unable to be bothered with wondering why there were so many directors, the gritted-teeth policewoman raised her gun and fired consecutively, narrowly managing to shoot down both directors before they could open fire.

However, following that, a series of uniformly paced footsteps resounded again as over a dozen "scar-faced burly men" walked out from the stairwell one after another, uniformly unlocking their waist clips...

What the hell are these things!!!

Seeing the directors raising their guns in unison from a distance, the policewoman with tingling scalp kicked open a nearby interrogation room door, preparing to pull "scared stiff" Leon inside for cover.

Yet this time, it was obvious the scarred directors were one step ahead. Just as the policewoman grabbed Leon's shoulder, before she could push him into the interrogation room, those black-muzzled guns had already been raised to the proper angle.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Numerous triggers were constantly pulled, synthesizing into a deafening loud bang, followed by a torrential downpour of gunfire echoing throughout the narrow, dim corridor of the dungeon.
