I! Cleaner!

Chapter 348: 0296 Head of Bureau Passed Away_2



""At that moment, she seemed to be seriously injured. Her beige slim-fit long dress had numerous tears, and there was a wound on her right leg resembling the bite of trap teeth. On the half-exposed rounded shoulder, there were marks similar to the traces of snake-scaled whips.

Her right hand, holding the 'mirror,' had its five fingers twisted unnaturally. The little finger, as white as a scallion, was bent backward against the back of her hand, as if crushed by some overpowering force, forcibly twisted until broken.

'The Scales Gold Sect has an ambush!'

In Leon's shocked gaze, Senior Emma, seemingly enduring immense pain, had cold sweat on her temples as she reported rapidly,

"The Aquarius seemed to know I would come, and contacted the Scales Gold Sect in advance. They brought down the Snake Spirit and while I stormed into the meeting, it bit my leg.

Although that snake was not my match and I temporarily beat it back, it had a higher hierarchy than mine. So, through the wound left on my leg, it kept 'buying' my undying body. It has already bought over three hundred from me..."

As Emma said this, as if to prove her claim, an unfamiliar coin with a strange shimmer suddenly appeared in her palm.

The moment the coin appeared, the light in Emma's eyes dimmed slightly as if she lost focus. She immediately stopped moving, unconsciously tilting backward...

'No! I can't die yet!'

Along with a mumbling, dream-like voice, Emma's right hand, which was starting to disintegrate, forced herself to stand firm again. With the undying body's effect, all her injuries healed instantly, even the twisted finger returned to normal.

But her condition only improved for a moment. The black tooth mark on her thigh resurfaced like a stubborn pest clinging to the bone. Scarlet blood trickled down the cracks once more...

'Emma?!'

Coming to his senses, Leon's expression tightened. He hurriedly shouted at the mirror,

'The Director is not in the bureau! And it's impossible to contact for now, how long can you hold out over there?'

'Emma? Speak!'

'Who else can I contact? Is there any way? Will contacting the headquarters through the royal family be in time? Can you hold out?'

'Emma?'

...

It was unknown whether Emma had been hurt too severely, directly losing consciousness and unable to hear Leon's words, or because Leon was not the owner of the Celestial Globe Mirror, making it impossible to truly "connect" the video.

No matter how much Leon shouted, Emma had no response on the other side of the mirror, standing there blank-eyed. Even the image in the mirror began to distort slightly, seeming like it could "disconnect" at any moment.

*No! I need to think of something quickly!*

Unexpectedly returning to the bureau only to encounter such an urgent situation, Leon couldn't help but clench his fists, regretting that he hadn't anticipated this.

Since Joshua could contact the Scales Gold Sect and deploy that Snake Spirit to ambush Emma, he could naturally inform the Scales Gold Sect of Emma's whereabouts. Seeing that Emma was ambushed by that damned snake and was in a dire situation, reinforcement was needed quickly!

After rushing out of the Director's office with the [Celestial Globe Mirror], Leon sprinted down the corridor of the bureau's first floor to see if anyone else was around. But all office doors were sealed tightly. The Virgin Branch was like the director described, leaving him the only one present.

*Damned director! Couldn't you at least hire a few more people? Everyone's tasks are packed, and you can't even find someone for support!*

Unable to suppress a complaint, Leon took a deep breath, then placed the mirror carefully to the side, kicking the door to Emma's office.

That snake was something he definitely couldn't handle alone. Help was needed, and contacting the Purge Bureau Headquarters through the royal family seemed like the fastest way for support.

Emma's condition was not good, and he had no idea how long she could hold out. Therefore, a dual approach was necessary, contacting the headquarters while also creating a disturbance outside the Scales Gold Sect's meeting, hoping to alleviate some pressure off her.

Though he had returned to the Capital City district, under the influence of the Snake Spirit's blessing, his Yang Xin's activation range significantly reduced, allowing him to "reconnect" with those death row inmates and regain his undying body. But the most powerful Holy Spirit pendant was still sealed, making his combat ability pathetically low. Supplementation was necessary.

And in Emma's office was a collection of items that looked like [Execution Instruments]. Sharing the same undying body with her, perhaps these items hold an anomalous object Leon could use!

"Bang! Bang!"

With two heavy kicks breaking the cast iron lock, Leon burst into Emma's office. Once confirming there were no dangerous "anti-theft" mechanisms, he proactively stretched his hand towards the anomalous objects in the room.

[Name: Executioner Set No.19 - Wheel of Torture (flesh, punishment)]

[Appearance: A massive wheel cast with iron spikes, equipped with grooves specifically for binding sinners, covered in dried, dark brown blood stains, exuding a perennial scent of blood.]

[Ability: Flesh grinding, evil retribution]

[Cost: Experiencing the same harm and pain as the condemned]

[File: Emma Alman, Level One Cleaner of the Virgin Branch, created this executioner set based on her undying body as one of the several anomalous objects tailored for her.

When activated together with the [Sin of the Precious Flower], [Joint Responsibility Code], and [Bloodthirsty Execution Platform], this anomalous object can drag up to 30,000 life forms within a 20-kilometer capture radius to an execution ground, bound to execution instruments to receive a wheel of torture punishment.

Subsequently paired with the [Suffering Music Box], [Satisfying Scales], [Crown of Repentance Thorns], [Poem of Agony], and other anomalous objects, the pain endured by the condemned will infinitely amplify and continuously 'replay.'

If unable to withstand both the flesh and soul's torment, a single thought of wanting release, will result in forced capture by the [Pivot of the Dead], an object paired with the [Bloodthirsty Execution Platform], leading directly to the world of death, with no return.]

[Evaluation: An exceptionally mediocre law-type anomalous object when used alone, possessing only extraordinary punitive effects for evil. Yet, when activated as a set or coupled with specific anomalous objects, even demons from Hell would tremble at its brutality.]

[Contamination Value: 3.5]

*Hiss...*

After reading the introduction of the first anomalous object, Leon couldn't help but take a sharp breath, understanding why the gentle and kind Senior Emma would be given the brutal title of "Corpse Pivot Executioner."

Unlike him, still seeking the power of individual anomalous objects, Emma's were combinatorial.

From the description, it seemed that her set focused on the undying body as its core, dragging every target into an inescapable execution ground, where she would endure one execution, while others suffered infinitely repeated penalties with magnified pain.

Moreover, the condemned would also undergo mental "weighing," repenting their crimes, enduring dual torment of body and spirit. Failing to withstand or confessing would result in immediate capture by the world-of-death connected anomalous object.

And these items were not targeting one or two, but a full thirty-thousand targets! Thirty thousand!

*This is the strength of a Level 1 Elite Cleaner?*

Surveying the chaotically piled execution instruments, Leon shivered slightly, experiencing a smidgen of fear for the gentle and reliable Senior Emma for the first time.

No wonder Emma never took all her items, even flipping over in places like the Red Brick Road Hospital. Her anomalous objects, once activated, spurred indiscriminately and had blood-soaked visuals unsuitable for immediate use.

If she truly took all 49 pieces of the Executioner Set, and maximized the capture range of the [Bloodthirsty Execution Platform], a full 30,000 individuals would end up on it.

These 30,000 unfortunates would each face continuous bloody torment by 49 terrifying execution instruments, and, under the influence of the anomalous objects, would cry remorsefully for their sins...

*That would be no different from living Hell!*

Compared to such a terrifying scene, Emma's nickname seemed serene.

Shaking his head slightly, Leon took another look at the execution instruments filling the room, taking a deep breath, and patted his shiny cufflinks.

Bring them! Bring them all!
