Chapter 106: Opening the Book and Peace of Mind
...Can't you have some dignity as the Great Demon?
Looking at the other self, one could not help but feel a sense of servility and boundless adoration, and Black Goat felt a strong sense of crisis as it witnessed this shameless display.
Previously, when convincing Lyon to side with it, the argument was that the heart was extremely arrogant and would definitely not be as obedient as it claimed. But now, seeing this dog's attitude...
Damn it! Is the competition to be someone's dog this fierce now?
"It's deceiving you!"
After being harshly reminded by its heart, Black Goat, who had suffered a malicious competition, felt a surge of anger. It glared at Lyon and said with a sinister tone:
"It's so arrogant! According to our understanding of it, this guy would never be so compliant. It's probably trying to stabilize you and then report to the Cleanup Bureau behind your back! Hurry up and take action!"
'You?!?!?!'
Seeing Lyon suddenly squinting his eyes and once again clutching the pendant, the Savage Heart, who had suffered a ruthless betrayal, couldn't help but feel furious.
Back when I wasn't torn into seven pieces, I was undoubtedly the first. You, you're lucky to be third because the fourth is Sloth, who couldn't be bothered to compete with you!
You, the trashy third brother, only found me first because you were lazy to argue with me! After meeting your big brother, you should have politely stepped aside. Instead, you're stirring up trouble and trying to manipulate him to take me down?
This is all your fault!
After being disgusted by the actions of the sixth brother, the Savage Heart "gritted its teeth" and raised the stakes:
'Aside from these horns, I've also found the whereabouts of the stomach and tail.
If you erase its will and let me be your heart, I'll not only obey your every command but also reveal the locations of those two items!'
???
Are you kidding me? You want to compete even more?
Noticing Lyon's slightly swayed expression, Black Goat shuddered and quickly added:
"We don't need you to tell us the locations of other things. Once Lyon rises to the top of the Cleanup Bureau, we'll have ways to investigate on our own!
And who are you to compare with us?
We've been working with the Cleanup Bureau all these years, staying by the side of the Director of the Zodiac District Police Station, recording countless secret documents and learning about numerous strange occurrences. We know things you can't even imagine!"
As it spoke, Black Goat secretly glanced at Lyon and noticed that he seemed to be leaning towards its side, so it quickly seized the opportunity to press further:
"Lyon, if you suppress its will, I'll answer any question you have in the future!
You've always been curious about Emma's experiences and the past of those red-haired ladies, right? If you erase its will, I'll tell you everything immediately!"
"You! Damn it! I can give it money! I can give it power! I can give it the chance to reach the peak!"
"That's hilarious. What you're offering is just trash compared to absolute power!"
"I think you're the trash here!"
"You're trash! You're the trashiest! You're even trashier than that exploded thing!"
"..."
Watching these two, fighting fiercely over who gets to be Lyon's dog, Black Goat couldn't help but sigh after a moment of silence.
Only children make choices; adults take it all!
"Stop arguing. The heart is absolutely not up for grabs."
As stated in the third chapter of the Cleanup Bureau's Heaven Rank Technique Manual, "The Director's (Abnormality) Training Handbook," one should never trust any intelligent abnormality, no matter how submissive it may seem. Always maintain a sense of skepticism, especially when they present an enticing offer. Most abnormalities are born from extreme obsession, traumatic experiences, or even fragments of Outer Gods or evil spirits. Trusting them is akin to committing a crime against oneself and the world.
After reciting several times the summary of the Bureau Chief's Training Manual to suppress his impulse, Leon felt the immense disappointment radiating from the Heart of Wild Ambition in his soul. He tentatively proposed:
"However... if you are willing to cooperate with me and prove that this matter was indeed orchestrated by Bobby Lane, then after you are inspected by the bureau, I can reapply to have you reassigned to me."
'Great! Hahaha! Great! Great!'
Although it didn't "climb to the top" and directly replace Leon's heart, the Heart of Wild Ambition was still overjoyed, repeating "great" several times.
As for when it would truly rise to the top... Heh heh, once this kid has used it a few times and experienced the absolute power of domination, he would sooner or later beg for it to be his heart!
"Leon! Have you forgotten what that red-haired woman told you?"
Feeling the Heart of Wild Ambition's smug satisfaction, the Black Goat, whose position as the first lackey was at risk, urged anxiously:
"How can you even listen to what a demon says? You need to be ruthless at a time like this! If you don't eliminate it, and it turns around and reports to the Cleanup Bureau..."
"You're right, I shouldn't trust a demon's words so easily."
Glancing sideways at the Black Goat's soul, which was oozing malice, Leon reminded him with a look of exasperation:
"Also, have you forgotten that when I held you, I had soul vision and could see even more clearly than you? If it had been lying, I would have seen through it right away, okay?"
"..."
After exposing the first lackey's treachery and silencing him, Leon placed the second lackey back on Bobby Lane and then looked down at his blood-soaked coat.
Having arranged the motive and method of the crime, coordinated the testimony with the Black Goat, and bribed the remaining witness, the only thing he couldn't explain was why he was bleeding so much without any injuries...
Taking a deep breath, Leon looked around and found a relatively clean spot, then firmly grasped the Holy Spirit Pendant.
If you're going to fake it, do it all the way!
...
"Knock knock."
"Come in."
After knocking on the director's office door, the short man rubbed his hands together eagerly and asked impatiently:
"Actually, I don't have any specific matter, I just wanted to ask you how long it will be before the person who can appraise items can start working?"
Leon hasn't arrived yet?
Hearing the short man's words, the red-haired director's brows furrowed slightly, but after sensing the condition of his hair, he relaxed and replied:
"He was out on a field assignment yesterday, investigating the whereabouts of an anomalous object. If he hasn't come in yet, he might have discovered something and is catching up on sleep after working through the night. If the mission is completed, he should be here soon."
"That's good... Hehe, by the way, what kind of mission was it? Many of my 'friends' are idle, so maybe I can help out..."
"Hmm? Jerry, you're being so friendly to the new guy?"
Knowing exactly what the short man was thinking, the red-haired director teased him with a smile and then confidently stated:
"But you probably won't be much help. It was just a routine investigation task. Although he's a bit less experienced, Leon is reliable and steady. I trust him to handle it!"
