Chapter 607: Child's Eyes
Chapter 607: Child's Eyes
So, the Twin Fish Director was attacked and transformed into a child?
After piecing together the situation from the conversation between Leon and Poop Mom, the cleaners who were previously fleeing in all directions reluctantly regrouped.
"Sir Twin Fish..."
A female cleaner from the Sheep District Office cautiously approached, stopping five meters away, and called out, "This place is no longer safe. The enemy who attacked you might return at any moment. Can you please send us back immediately?"
"Okay!"
Hearing the female cleaner's request, the child version of the Twin Fish Director nodded blankly, then grabbed Leon's pant leg and anxiously replied, "How should Milky send you all back?"
Huh?
The Twin Fish Director's question left the female cleaner from the Sheep District Office momentarily speechless. She opened her mouth, then tentatively asked, "Just... use your anomaly to send us all back."
"Okay."
The Twin Fish Director nodded agreeably once more, then, with her sheep horn braids askew, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Which anomaly should Milky activate to send you back?"
"..."
Damn!
After listening to the exchange between the female cleaner and Milky, the hearts of the cleaners froze as if doused with ice water in the depths of winter.
In her current state, not only had the Twin Fish Director's soul strength significantly weakened, but even if her power was stronger than her original old man form, her current level of mental acuity would prevent her from utilizing it effectively.
More critically, with the Twin Fish Director's power plummeting and the attacker potentially returning at any moment, they were trapped in the dream realm with no idea how to return...
"Milky."
Leon, understanding the situation, paused briefly before asking, "What anomalies do you have? Can you show them to me?"
According to the current information, they had all arrived in the dream realm through the Dream Play Fungus Spore, and the Twin Fish Director should possess the Dream Play Fungus Mother Strain or the Lost Paradise Fragment where the mother strain grew.
One of these two anomalies was likely keeping all the cleaners trapped in the dream realm. If Leon could find them using his abilities, he could temporarily gain access through the Unjust Snake Contract and forcibly send everyone back.
Unfortunately, although Leon had come up with a solution, it was immediately rejected by the Twin Fish Director.
"That's not allowed!"
As if a trigger word had been activated, Milky let go of Leon's pant leg, covering the pocket on the side of her skirt and shaking her head vigorously as she said, "Joan told me that no matter who asks for my anomalies, I must never give them!"
"I'm not asking to take them; I just want to look."
"Joan said looking is not allowed either!"
"If I can just take a look at your anomalies, I might be able to send everyone back."
"Then..."
The Twin Fish Director hesitated for a moment but ultimately shook her head in refusal, saying, "No, no. Joan is always right! Whatever she tells Milky not to do is for Milky's own good!"
"..."
Wait, who is this Joan? Why do you listen to her so much?
"Joan is Bessie!"
Who is this Bessie...? Could it be the Bull Fish Director?
The Bull Fish Director actually has this name?
Wait, that's not right! I was just thinking about the Bull Fish Director's name in my head, I didn't say it out loud, how did you know what I was thinking?
"Because Milky has a strong Anomaly~"
Once again, through unknown means, the Pisces Director "read" Lyon's inner thoughts. She puffed out her small chest and proudly said, "Bessie made an Anomaly for me called Child's Eyes, which allows Milky to see through the 'dirty thoughts' of adults towards her. And if anyone with ill intentions approaches and tries to harm Milky, she will be immediately sent back to Bessie's side."
"..."
I get it now. This Child's Eyes is probably a guarantee given to her by the Bull Fish Director.
After locking eyes with the Pisces Director, whose eyes were clear and transparent, Lyon immediately understood that this path was likely a dead end. Although his mind had transformed into that of a child, the Thought Seal left by the Pisces Director was deeply ingrained.
His Good Brother badge, while it could increase her trust in him, was no match for the decades-long "friendship" between her and the Bull Fish Director. As for using deception...
"Lying is something naughty children do! If you lie to Milky, she'll hate you."
I didn't even start lying, I just thought about it and I've already been warned against it...
Avoiding the Pisces Director's pure eyes, Lyon felt a strange sense of guilt welling up inside him. He furrowed his brows and remained silent, pondering other options.
Just as the cleaners were about to lose their temper and start eating, with the Pisces Director sitting nearby, they finally gathered their courage and huddled together, closer to Milky and away from Lyon, chattering in an attempt to persuade her:
"Sir Pisces, why don't you let him take a look at the Anomaly?"
"No way, Bessie will get angry."
"Who's Bessie?"
"Bessie is Wise Bessie!"
"Oh..."
"Sir Pisces, you may not believe he's right, but you can trust me!"
"I don't believe you. Your soul stinks a little."
"Then can I? I..."
"You're not just stinky, you're also smelly."
"ヽ(；Д｀)？？？"
After a series of extremely awkward and bizarre exchanges, the cleaners, who were trying to coax the child, retreated one by one, with not a single one managing to secure a "ticket" home.
Perhaps annoyed by the "smelly" adults, the Pisces Director pouted and reached into her skirt pocket, pulling out a small conch shell. She puffed out her cheeks and blew into the shell with all her might.
"Pop pop pop pop..."
A series of dream bubbles were blown out of the shell, bursting one after another. The cleaners who were surrounding and persuading her, even resorting to moral coercion, were terrified to find that their mouths had completely disappeared.
This disappearance wasn't a forced closure of the lips, but rather, from the lips to the teeth to the tongue and down to the throat, all the organs that made up the mouth were instantly replaced by new muscle and nerve tissue in the moment the conch shell was blown, as if the organ called the mouth had never existed.
"You smelly adults, don't crowd around Milky!"
After warning the terrified cleaners, the Pisces Director looked left and right, and probably still finding Lyon's scent more agreeable, she moved back to his side, her face sullen.
"You... Hmm?"
