I! Cleaner!
Chapter 195 - 195: 0170 Exchange and Door-to-Door Service_1

" "I can't see anything wrong with you either."

The Red-haired Director shook his head and said,

"Although I also had some sensory abilities, I was better at combat. This might involve the mysterious and the cursed. That sheep knew far more than I did.

Also, even though that sheep was currently a bit weaker, it was indeed a well-informed Great Demon with an extremely long life span. In terms of knowledge in this area, there weren't many in the Purification Bureau who surpassed it.

So, if even it couldn't see any problem, then you almost didn't need to consider the bureau. Among those I could call for help, including the Taurus Director, there was barely anyone who could solve your problem."

"..."

*Wasn't that game over?*

After hearing what the Red-haired Director said, Ryan's heart sank halfway.

Even though he had [The Emma Remnants Scripture] to protect him, he could only learn Senior Emma's caution, not her Undying Body.

If he kept encountering anomalies at this frequency, no matter how cautious he became, he would eventually fail like today when faced with an endless stream of anomalous objects.

Without mentioning anything else, today's lead bullet alone was deadly. If that person shooting the slingshot from three kilometers away had raised his hand just a little while shooting, it wouldn't just be Ryan's scapula that shattered.

"Are you thinking about the person who hurt you with the slingshot?"

Seeing the somewhat fearful look in Ryan's eyes, the Red-haired Director guessed what he was thinking and offered some comfort,

"Rest assured, you're carrying my hair on you. My hair was extremely sensitive to the scent of death. Once you were subjected to a potentially fatal attack, it would immediately intercept it. That person's ability might restrain you, but there was still a way to avoid it."

"Then, what if it wasn't immediately fatal, but something like poison, curses, bleeding that slowly kills me?"

Knowing roughly the effects of [Slaughter Blood Hair], Ryan pondered for a moment and then added with some worry,

"Besides that, what if the air around me was sucked dry, or if I was forcibly moved deep underwater or underground, or if I wasn't killed but aged by an anomalous object?

There were also abilities that didn't directly harm the body, targeting the soul, mind, or will. They could bypass [Slaughter Blood Hair]'s protection, right?"

"Right..."

Watching Ryan quickly come up with seven or eight ways to bypass [Slaughter Blood Hair] and successfully "kill" himself, the Red-haired Director clicked his tongue, feeling like he saw a PLUS version of Emma.

*To be honest, while being a little cautious was a good thing for a Cleaner, Little Lyon seemed to be deeply influenced by Emma.*

"What if, for a while, you stay in the bureau?"

Tilting his head in thought, the Red-haired Director suggested,

"Those two investigators have already returned. If the investigation went without issues, the sheep's heart would be sent back in a couple of days. By then, you could visit the police department prison, get a warden position, and oversee those heinous death row prisoners.

Although it couldn't match Emma's Undying Body, with something at the Heart of Ambition level to protect your life, you should be able to get through it without encountering extremely extreme anomalous abilities."

*Yeah! And there was the Heart!*

Hearing the Director's reminder, Ryan felt reinvigorated, as a bit of hope flickered in the previously bleak future.

Although he wasn't like Bobby Laien who directly put the heart into his body, with the [I Am the Demon] Golden Badge's blessing, normally using the Heart's life-saving ability was still feasible. As long as he didn't encounter overly extreme situations, he should be able to hold on until he truly became strong.

*Oh right, there was also the sheep stomach!*

Remembering another anomaly from the "sheep offal series," eager to significantly boost his strength to cope with his terribly bad luck, Ryan directly asked,

"Director! How's the Black Goat's stomach? Can I apply to have it?"

"The stomach... that isn't difficult, but not as quick as the Heart. It will require some waiting."

The Red-haired Director thought for a moment before replying,

"That sheep's stomach was self-found, not confiscated from a task. But as an anomaly submitted to our bureau, after basic checks, we in the Virgo Bureau would have priority to apply for it.

According to the headquarter's application regulations, all you need to do was to submit an anomaly of the same basic level, or three anomalies of a lower level, and you could obtain it.

Hmm... As for the Sheep Stomach, the Leon Value was about 8, but because it was part of a whole set of anomalies, the conversion requirement was significantly higher. Probably calculated at 10 Leon Value you still have any anomalies to exchange for it?"

"I really do!"

After checking his current stock, Ryan tapped the small mirror he carried, instructing Young Ha to throw out the model small bed sealed with the "Under-the-bed Ghost Hand."

"This item had a Leon Value of 8.7, plus the 2.5 Leon Value [Heartbeat Moment] acquired today, which should be enough for exchange... uh... wait a minute."

Touching the red hair around his neck, Ryan didn't immediately hand over the items. He hesitated a bit and then spoke,

"Director, could I ask for a favor?"

"Hmm? What favor?"

"It's just... haven't I been targeted by those Rebels lately? I'm worried they might come after my family, so I hope to get three strands of hair, one for each of my siblings."

After explaining his request, without waiting for the Director to respond, afraid she might refuse, Ryan quickly added,

"Of course, I know the [Slaughter Blood Hair] was a powerful anomaly with the number 013. Even just a few strands were very precious, and constantly drained your power, Director, so I wouldn't ask for them for free.

If you can accept it, I am willing to use the 8.7 Leon Value [Under-the-bed Ghost Hand] to exchange for those three strands of hair. Is that okay?"

Exchanging [Under-the-bed Ghost Hand] for three strands of your blood hair for your siblings?

Hearing Ryan's condition, seeing his sincere expression, the Red-haired Director instinctively blinked her fox eyes, then tapped her knuckles on the table, and thoughtfully retorted,

"If you exchanged my hair for [Under-the-bed Ghost Hand], what would you use to exchange for the sheep stomach? Nonetheless, anomalies with nearly 10 Leon Value aren't easy to find. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Ryan nodded earnestly and said,

"Though anomalies with 10 Leon Value are hard to find, they do exist. To exchange for Anna's safety, I believe it's completely worth it."

*Did family mean more to you than anything?*

Staring into Ryan's eyes for a while, the Red-haired Director confirmed that he genuinely thought so. She couldn't help but blink, feeling a tinge of bitterness in her heart. Not only was she envious of those Ryan worried about, she also envied him for having someone who could worry about him.

*How nice, not only you but Emma also still had family members to rely on. Considering my circumstances, I was destined to have nothing to do with family.... Hmm... So annoying! My mood was pleasant until you came along and suddenly made everything awkward.*

"Alright then, I'll accept it!"

Swallowing back the "no need to exchange" words that rose to her lips, she took the [Under-the-bed Ghost Hand] and threw it into her drawer, which prompted her to glare at the joyous Ryan and teasingly issue a battle invitation full of malice,

"Wanna drink a bit?"

"Huh?"

"If you drink with me wholeheartedly today, three hairs, or even thirty, would be fine!"
