LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 591
Through the soul vision of the Black Goat, Leon observed the underlying color of the soul of the slim woman and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of hesitation on his face.
Considering solely from the perspective of anomalous item abilities, Miss Layla’s capabilities were actually quite excellent. After all, for the work of cleaners, intelligence and information are extremely important.
As long as the gap between the taint values isn’t at an overwhelming level, some Level 3 Cleaners with strong targeted abilities still have the potential to take down a Level 1 Cleaner.
But the issue is that the job of a cleaner isn’t just about investigation; when dealing with various abnormal events, it’s inevitable to encounter some crazy opponents. Therefore, there’s actually a significant requirement for “courage.”
And this Miss Layla… her soul may be kind, but her personality is truly too timid, even less than an average person. Probably, if someone just yells at her a bit, she’d curl up and run away.
If she became a cleaner, and met opponents like fanatics, murderers, or zealots, it’s estimated that the other side wouldn’t even need to speak—a single glance would make her legs go weak…
Hmm… let’s try contacting her first, see what the situation is, then ask the director tomorrow. If she really isn’t suited for being a cleaner, we’ll find her a more stable job so she doesn’t blindly get involved in any kingdom secrets.
After pondering slightly, Leon put the evaluation form into the Mirror World and stepped down from the second floor, calling out:
“Auntie Mary.”
“Leon? You came down so quickly?”
“Hmm, Phelia just looks like a child, but she’s actually an adult already, so I don’t need to help much.”
After casually responding, Leon turned his head towards the sobbing slim woman with slightly swollen eyes and asked unknowingly: “This person is…”
“Ah, she’s one of our apartment residents, Miss Layla from the farthest room on the third floor. She’s been having some trouble recently, and I’ve been comforting her…”
After briefly introducing the situation of the slim woman, the Administrator Matron seemed to remember something, her expression slightly moved, and she opened her mouth with expectation to ask:
“Leon, I can guarantee that Layla is absolutely not a bad person, and she works very hard. So if it’s convenient, could you help introduce her to a job?”
“Sure, we happen to be recruiting.”
Leon had come with this goal in mind, and even if Miss Layla wasn’t suitable for being a cleaner, just to prevent her anomalous items from causing trouble, he would definitely introduce her to a job—whether or not it was cleaning-related didn’t matter. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse.
In the delighted expression of the slim woman, Leon extended his right hand, smiling gently: “I’m Leon, currently working at the Public Security Bureau,勉强算个警察吧… nice to meet you.”
“Ahh?”
Faced with Leon’s rather formal gesture, the slim woman clearly got a shock, hastily wiped her palms on her skirt, lowered her head timidly, and shook hands with Leon, speaking incoherently:
“I… my name is Layla… I… I’m looking for a job… I… thank you for your help! I will definitely work hard!”
“Zz…”
Accompanied by the familiar shrill hum, information about the slim woman immediately appeared before Leon’s eyes.
[Name: Damaged Miss (Miracle, Luck)]
[Appearance: A young human female with a refined beauty, diligent and hardworking, often appearing where she shouldn’t, causing chaos before fleeing]
[Ability: Secret Witness, Perfect Risk Avoidance]
[Cost: None]
[File: An ordinary citizen of the old district of the capital city of the Thrush Kingdom, who has been unemployed for years due to frequently uncovering secrets she shouldn’t know. She was fired sixty-nine times in a year, totaling 115 days of unemployment.
Although she often discovers extremely dangerous secrets, because of her timid and weak character, she appears too harmless to raise anyone’s vigilance, so she hasn’t suffered overly harsh retaliation, only scolding and expulsion.]
[Assessment: Secret Nemesis, Adultery Exposer, Master of Surprise Attacks… Wherever important events occur, there will surely be her footprints. Although she keeps her mouth shut, even the True God might not be able to protect their secrets from this unlucky worker.]
[Taint Value: 38]
Wait! How much? After reading the description of [Damaged Miss], Leon’s expression involuntarily stiffened, revealing a look of disbelief.
A taint value of thirty-eight points! The threshold for a Level 1 Cleaner is only 31 taint points! What the hell… so this woman, who can’t even look at people straight, is actually a wild Level 1 Cleaner?!?! Feeling his palm suddenly tighten, the slim woman couldn’t help but get scared, instinctively pulling back her hand, opening her tear-swollen eyes, and timidly glanced at Leon, then…
“Ah!”
After recognizing Leon’s face, the slim woman couldn’t help but let out a startled cry, retreating several steps with a look of intense fear in her eyes.
“…”
Seeing the obviously shocked expression on her face, Leon couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow curiously and asked,
“Have you seen me before?”
“No… no… I haven’t seen you!”
Lie.
After observing her chaotic soul and realizing she was lying, Leon couldn’t help but squinted his eyes and recalled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember ever seeing her before.
“Miss Layla.”
After contemplating for a moment, Leon switched on [Master Performer] and earnestly persuaded: “Although I don’t know why you’re unwilling to tell me the truth, there’s one thing you can rest assured about—I’m not a bad person, and I won’t harm you just because you uncovered some secret.
However, the department I belong to is a special department within the Public Security Bureau, which requires confidentiality. So it’s best if you tell me where you’ve seen me, otherwise, I won’t have a choice but to take you back for investigation.
Moreover, besides that, you’ll also lose the opportunity to get a new job from me due to non-cooperation… Miss Layla, I hope you seriously consider my suggestion.”
“I…”
“LAYLA!”

Not expecting the situation to develop like this, the Administrator Matron also became anxious and hurriedly patted the slim woman lightly, urging her:
“Just say it! Leon is a good kid, as long as you cooperate, he definitely won’t harm you!”
“But… but…”
“What buts! Am I going to harm you?”
“Well… alright…”
Despite her soul being in chaos like it had been hit by a tornado, full of resistance, under the persuasion of the Administrator Matron, and threatened with investigation plus losing her job, the slim woman eventually trembled and said:
“I… I worked at the Green Boot Restaurant on Hanson Street… I saw you fighting with someone in a booth…”
Hanson Street’s Green Boot Restaurant? After hearing the place name, Leon thought for a while before remembering that he had evidence from the water plant incident wanting to publish it, then met the Chief Editor of Daily Highlights there.
The Chief Editor wanted to snatch the evidence from him, angering him, and he beat him up using the power of the Sheep Head… so she was there at the time?
“Also… Lane Family.”
Trembling and glancing fearfully at Leon, the slim woman stammered: “I… on the night the Lane Family incident happened, I was washing the manor’s exterior wall… I saw… saw you jump out from the sixth-floor Duke’s Room…”
“…”
What the… you were there during the Lane Blood Night too?
“And… during the big sale at Chal Department Store, I went to buy near-expiry food… that terrifying huge frog…”
“…”
“One evening, while sweeping outside the Royal Palace walls, I saw the princess sticking her head out of the window calling your name, then… then throwing a kiss…”
“…”
“More than a month ago, when someone hired me to clean the cruise ship, I saw you at the dock waiting for a man named Edward carrying a large box…”
“…”
“While helping customers shine their shoes at the shoe shine stand outside Parliament Street, I saw you walk out of the parliament hall dragging a boy with freckles, forcing him onto a carriage…”
“…”
“Before, when I went to clean the glass of the clock tower on Bass Street, I also saw… saw you leading more than ten people in the opposite restaurant’s private room, changing into police uniforms, then…”
“…”
“Also…”
“That’s enough, stop talking!”
Raising his hand to signal a halt, Leon, barely holding it together, grabbed the slim woman’s hands tightly, his cheeks twitching as he said: “Please join our Clearing Bureau without fail! You’re naturally suited for this job!”
