Chapter 674: Chapter 674

So... Director of Pisces was attacked and turned into a child?

Through the dialogue between Leon and Poop Lady, they barely managed to understand what had just happened. The cleaners, who were fleeing in all directions moments ago, were forced to gather again with determination. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"Pisces... Your Honor."

A female cleaner from the Aries Branch cautiously approached a little closer, then stood five meters away and shouted:

"It’s not safe here anymore; the enemy who attacked you could come back to kill at any moment. Could you please send us back right away?"

Hearing the female cleaner’s request, the child version of Director of Pisces nodded in bewilderment, then nervously clung to Leon’s pant leg and responded:

"Mimi, what should I do to send you all back?"

The female cleaner from the Aries Branch was momentarily dumbfounded by Director of Pisces’ question, then tentatively said:

"Just... use your abnormal object to send us all back."

Once again, she obediently nodded, Director of Pisces shook her lopsided pigtails and blinked big eyes as she asked:

"Then which abnormal object should Mimi activate to send you all back?"

After listening to the exchange between the female cleaner from the Aries Branch and Mimi, the hearts of all the cleaners felt like they were drenched in ice water in the depths of winter, leaving them chilled to the bone.

With Director of Pisces in this state, not to mention her soul strength significantly declined, even if her power was stronger than when she looked like an old man, she wouldn’t be able to use it with her current mental capacity.

And what’s even worse is that, with Director of Pisces’ strength drastically weakened and the attacker likely to return at any moment, they are trapped in the Dream Realm, completely clueless about how to get back...

Leon, who understood this point as well, pondered briefly before asking:

"What abnormal objects do you have with you? Can you show them to me?"

Based on the existing information, they all arrived in the Dream Realm through [Dream Fungus Spore Strain], and Director of Pisces should have the [Dream-Playing Colorful Fungus], or the [Paradise Lost fragment] where the mother strain grows.

The one keeping all the cleaners in the Dream Realm should be one of these abnormal objects. If Leon can use his ability to find these abnormal objects and exchange for temporary usage rights through the [Unfair Serpent Pact], he should be able to forcefully send everyone back.

Unfortunately, although Leon immediately thought of a solution, he was flatly rejected by Director of Pisces.

"That’s not allowed!"

As if triggered by some keyword, Mimi immediately let go of Leon’s pant leg and covered the pocket on the side of her little skirt, shaking her pigtails vehemently:

"Joan told me that no matter who wants my abnormal objects, I absolutely shouldn’t give them away!"

"I don’t mean to take them, just borrow to have a look."

"Joan said looking is not allowed either!"

"If you let me look at your abnormal objects, I might be able to send everyone back."

Director of Pisces hesitated upon hearing this but ultimately shook her little head and refused:

"No way, no way. Joan must be right! If she stops Mimi from doing something, it’s definitely for Mimi’s own good!"

Whoa, who’s this Joan? Why do you listen to her so much?

What’s Niu Niu...? Damn it, could she be the Director of Taurus? Does the Director of Taurus actually go by that name?

Wait, never mind what the Director of Taurus’s name is! I was just thinking in my mind, I didn’t say it out loud! How did you know what I was thinking?

"Because Mimi has a powerful abnormal object!"

Having "read" Leon’s inner thoughts through unknown means, Director of Pisces puffed out her chest proudly and said:

"The abnormal object Niu Niu made for me is called [Child’s Eyes], which allows Mimi to see through the ’dirty adults’ thoughts towards Mimi. If anyone comes with bad intentions to harm Mimi, Mimi will be sent directly back to Niu Niu’s side."

Understood, this [Child’s Eyes] is probably the protection provided by Director of Taurus.

After exchanging a glance with Director of Pisces’ clear eyes, Leon immediately understood this path was most likely a dead end, because although mentally she was a child, Director of Pisces’ "mental branding" was deeply ingrained.

His [Good Brother] badge could increase her trust in him, but it couldn’t compare to the decades-long friendship she had with Taurus, and as for using deceitful tactics...

"Lying is something bad children do! If you lie to Mimi, Mimi will dislike you."

I haven’t even started to deceive, just thought about it, and I already got a warning against deceit — how can I proceed with a lie...

Averting his eyes from Director of Pisces’ pure gaze, Leon felt a strange sense of guilt creep up in his heart, furrowed his brow and fell silent, contemplating other options.

And seeing that he didn’t burst into madness and start devouring others, plus with Director of Pisces there to hold the fort, the cleaners finally gathered back together, clustered near Mimi and away from Leon, trying to persuade her earnestly from various angles:

"Director of Pisces, maybe you should let him see your abnormal objects."

"No, Niu Niu will be mad."

"Niu Niu is the sensible Niu Niu!"

"Director of Pisces! You may not trust him, but you can trust me!"

"No, your soul smells a little stinky."

"Then maybe me? I..."

"You don’t just smell stinky, you stink."

After a series of extremely awkward exchanges, one by one, the cleaners trying to cajole the child retreated in defeat, failing to secure a "ticket home."

And probably annoyed by these "stinky" adults, Director of Pisces pouted and pulled out a delicate little conch from the pocket of her little skirt, puffing her cheeks to blow it hard.

"Blub blub blub blub..."

A series of dream bubbles blew out of the conch and burst one after another. Those cleaners who were relentlessly convincing, even resorting to moral coercion, were terrifyingly stunned to find that their mouths had vanished.

This disappearance wasn’t merely their lips being forcibly closed, but their entire mouth — from lips to teeth to tongue to throat, every part that could be considered a mouth organ — was replaced by new muscle and nerve tissue the instant the conch was blown, as if the organ called "mouth" had never existed.

"You stinky adults, don’t surround Mimi!"

After angrily warning the startled cleaners, Director of Pisces looked around a few times, perhaps still finding Leon’s scent a bit better, she snuggled back closer to him, sounding quite displeased:
