Chapter 521: Chapter 456: Sloth
"Goodness!"
Upon opening the storeroom door and seeing the female journalist glaring angrily at him, Leon’s expression montarily froze.
Though it was expected that their director would keep a strict watch on her after capturing her, he hadn’t expected the thod of watching to be so...
Traditional!
"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!!!"
After glancing at the female journalist tied to a high-backed chair with suspiciously colored fabric stuffed in her mouth, Leon, in a good mood, first nodded politely at her and then moved behind the chair, crouching down to inspect it.
Hm... How could there be no "opening" at the back of her skirt? Didn’t the director say the sheep tail was on her rear end?
Thinking for a mont, Leon tugged slightly on the hem of her plain cashre skirt amidst the journalist’s outraged muffled sounds, revealing a small piece of fair skin, then reached out and gently poked around her tailbone.
[Na: Secret Tail (Corruption, Sloth, Stealth)]
[Appearance: A black goat’s tail with extrely low presence, almost impossible to normally detect; other than the true user, anyone who sees it or touches it would still assu it does not exist]
[Ability: Demon’s Tail, Will Erosion, Hidden Trace]
[Cost: This unford sloth demon will reside in the holder’s laziness, unconsciously influencing them to maintain the status quo and make more passive choices]
[File: When the major demon’s main body was ambushed and chose to whip for survival, this anomaly, too lazy to flee, was successfully captured by the extrely hostile Illuminati. However, during purification, because it was too lazy to scream, it was prematurely discarded under the mistaken belief that purification was successful.
After staying silently in the wild for many years, the anomaly was eventually swept into Crolock Kingdom’s water lake by a mountain flood, causing residents who drank from it to be lazy in their work, neglect public infrastructure, attracting the attention of the Clean-up Bureau Gemini branch where Level 1 Cleaner Nicole Korolman located and adopted it.]
[Evaluation: Quite a useful stealth-type anomaly with an additional sloth aura; even if discovered during infiltration, the opposition has a high chance of being too lazy to report]
[Contamination Value: 8]
"..."
Impressive, not even bothering to flee, truly living up to the sin of sloth.
After reading the surprisingly powerful file of [Secret Tail], Leon’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling sowhat speechless.
As for the female journalist who was being poked around her tailbone, after struggling fruitlessly for a while, she cald down suddenly, a lifeless soul slowly following Leon’s finger.
"..."
"..."
After facing the unclear Leon in silence for a while, [Secret Tail] reluctantly translated:
"She says... you should let go quickly."
"..."
I thought it was sothing serious... Turns out the female journalist was asking you to convey a ssage for her.
Blinking a bit speechlessly, Leon, understanding the situation, switched out the Devil’s Badge and said:
"Including yours, I’ve gotten four of the seven pieces from back then; from now on, you should follow ."
"No thanks, it’s too troubleso."
Upon hearing Leon’s invitation, [Secret Tail] replied slowly:
"Even if all seven are gathered, there’s no additional gain. It’s quite stable staying on her rear end. Like this is fine... Hm?"
Noticing it was removed from the journalist’s rear end, [Secret Tail] finally showed a bit of energy, surprisingly asking:
"How did you do it? Her contract isn’t broken yet, how did you just snatch it away?"
Upon hearing [Secret Tail]’s inquiry, Leon’s lips curled up.
That’s the effect of the badge. For those wearing the [I Am the Demon] badge like myself, all anomalies labeled with "Corruption" can be directly used, even controlling the Clean-up Bureau’s Brain-Eating Demon, so [Secret Tail] is naturally no exception.
However, just when Leon was about to explain that it’s an inexplicable secret, [Secret Tail], seemingly drained of enthusiasm, suddenly wilted again for no apparent reason.
"Forget it, not listening, no difference in changing the butt to stay on."
"..."
"Hurry up, drop the pants."
"..."
Screw you!
Raising a hand to throw [Secret Tail] into the mirror world, Leon pulled the journalist’s skirt back to its original position, then turned to the front of the chair, nodding at the journalist glaring at him:
"Miss Nicole, we et again."
"Mmm!"
"Rember the last ti we t at The Sun News, we even scheduled an interview, today happens both of us are free, so... shall we start now?"
"Mmm mmm!!!"
Ignoring the journalist’s protest, Leon, following the director’s instructions before he ca over, moved a chair behind the journalist and picked up an old mop beside him, using the mop handle to poke out the fabric stuffed in her mouth from the side.
"You damn bastard!"
Struggling to turn her neck but unable to face Leon directly, the journalist spat out angrily:
"Dare to speak to
face to face?"
"No."
Shaking his head without hesitation, Leon placed the black goat beside him, then calmly said:
"The director told
that after removing what’s blocking your mouth, if I stay in front of you, I might be drowned by your spit, so let’s talk like this!"
"Haha, are you afraid of dying?"
"Very afraid."
The journalist raised her eyebrows, sowhat contemptuously saying:
"Afraid to die, yet working as a Cleaner?"
"Yep."
Not paying attention to the journalist’s deliberate taunting, Leon responded casually and then took out the file on Level 1 Cleaner Nicole Korolman, received from the director, glanced at it, and voluntarily asked:
"Miss Nicole, could you briefly explain your relationship with the Aquarius Director?"
"You’re interrogating ?"
Not answering Leon’s question, the journalist forcefully twisted her neck and glanced at Leon from the corner of her eye, snorted coldly:
"Scarlet Hair Lady hasn’t asked
anything these days, instead letting you ask. So are you the Virgo division’s specialized interrogator?"
"Maybe."
Nodding without affirmation, indeed assigned the interrogation task, Leon having to talk to both the tail and the person, while flipping through the journalist’s file, he asked:
"Miss Nicole, it seems you don’t plan to cooperate with the interrogation, right?"
"Correct."
"Even if you’re tortured?"
"Correct."
"Alright."
Watching the journalist’s unwavering attitude without the slightest shaking of the soul, Leon pondered for a mont, then flipped through her file again and asked:
"You’re so loyal to the Aquarius Director because he rescued you from pirates and gave you the power to avenge your parents, right?"
"..."
It seems that indeed was the reason.
Using the black goat’s soul vision to glance at the journalist’s soul state, Leon closed the file in his hand and calmly asked:
"Then what if I told you... your parents were actually killed by him, would you still be as loyal as you are now?"
