Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1236 Here is lion!

The Scorpio director's passing... was not peaceful.

When Lyon followed him into the Scorpio Palace and successfully mastered the [Abnormal Recital] secret technique in less than five minutes, the Scorpio Director was overjoyed.

When Leon successfully mastered the advanced operation of [Anomalous Recital] about an hour later, and was able to simultaneously drive multiple anomalous objects to combine with each other, Scorpio Director was overjoyed.

However, when Leon took the large quantity of unusual substances he had meticulously prepared, instead of creating a perfect "ensemble," he produced a strange, unidentified mess. Scorpio Director immediately lost 99% of his ability to speak, leaving him with only one sentence...

"This is impossible!!!"

With trembling hands, he reached out and picked up the screaming, unidentified creature on the table. After examining it with disbelief, the pale-faced Scorpio director looked up, his eyes filled with bewilderment, at the grinning Leon.

That's impossible!

I clearly taught you step by step!

I also got him the items!
His operation process was correct!

But what the hell is this thing?!

"This one……"

After cautiously observing the Scorpio director's purplish-red complexion, Leon carefully began to speak:

"I'm sorry, it seems I wasn't skilled enough, which led to a slight mishap when we got back together..."

No... you call this a minor mistake?

Looking at the arcane artifact in the hands of the Scorpio director that needed to be censored, the Virgo director, who was observing Leon's arcane talent through a spherical mirror out of curiosity, couldn't help but shudder and immediately disconnected the link.

Damn it! No wonder Capricorn turned and ran without saying a word when he heard the director wanted to learn secret techniques... This is weird! This is just too weird!

"Lord Scorpio."

Reaching out and poking the large...abnormal object that had slipped from the Scorpio director's hand, and receiving a response filled with question marks about its name, effects, and even the cost of use, Leon, who had already anticipated this, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He then kindly suggested:

"Although the results may not be ideal, I've at least gotten the hang of it. Maybe I'll improve with more practice, so... how about we call it a day?"

"No!"

Upon hearing Leon's suggestion to stop there, Scorpio Director, whose understanding of the secret arts had been greatly shocked, sprang to his feet, threw aside what he was holding, grabbed Leon's arm, and glared at him with bloodshot eyes, repeatedly saying:
"No! You can't leave! You..."

"Let go! I have things to do at home! Let go!"

With his extensive experience in learning secret arts (torturing teachers), Leon could tell at a glance that Scorpio Director was in a bad state, probably having lost his temper. He quickly reached out to pry open Scorpio's bulging veins on his fingers while sincerely advising him:
"Lord Scorpio! You must remain calm! The operation of the Anomalous Repetition Secret Technique is so complex that minor mistakes are sometimes inevitable. So you can't get stuck on the details; you need to take it easy..."

Try to be more easygoing? How am I supposed to be easygoing about this?!
Looking at the yellowish-brown, semi-thin liquid on the table, which was carefully mixed from twelve unusual items but had no power other than screaming, Director Scorpio felt that his worldview, outlook on life, values, and views on choosing a partner... in short, everything that could be impacted had been greatly shaken.

"One more time! Just one more time!"

"I'm not coming! I'm really not coming! I've already learned it!" You've learned it my ass! If this is what you call learning it, then what have I been learning for the rest of my life?
"You are not allowed to go!"

With his arms tightly locked around Leon's, the Scorpio director, his eyes almost bloodshot, roared in a voice several decibels sharper than a castrato singer's:
"The Ensemble Technique isn't like this! I don't acknowledge this as the Ensemble Technique! I've been researching it for over fifty years! The Scorpio Palace's Ensemble Technique is definitely not like this!"
"Damn it! You can't leave! I'm watching you the whole time! From the moment you successfully communicated with the anomaly used as material, I'll guide you step by step, stacking it up piece by piece! I refuse to believe it... Ah!"

Good heavens, it's just learning a secret technique, why are you so excited...?

After punching the Scorpio director in the forehead and forcibly putting him into a baby-like sleep, Leon, still shaken by the director's manic behavior, took a deep breath and quickly disposed of his "work," then hurriedly left the Scorpio constellation.

Phew... Although the result wasn't great and caused a little trouble for Scorpio Director, at least we got the corresponding badge, which brings us one step closer to the new variant badge.

Looking at the new badge lying on the panel and the arcane learning progress of 8/13, a look of anticipation immediately appeared in Leon's eyes.

After successfully "passing" the Scorpio constellation, only five more constellations remain to learn: Aries' [Abnormal Destruction], Gemini's [Abnormal Deception], Leo's [Abnormal Domination], Libra's [Abnormal Imbalance], and Virgo's [Abnormal Absorption].

Aside from the Aries director who is stuck in the old ways, the Gemini, Leo, and Libra directors are on their way back and should be seen in the next couple of days. The only one to watch out for is the Virgo director.

She was tasked with "replacing" Evangeline, so she had better visit her as soon as possible and try to learn the Virgo constellation's unusual absorption technique before she set off for the Eye of the Sea, so as to avoid any unforeseen complications later.

"Your Excellency, Virgo."

After closing the door to the Scorpio constellation, which was inexplicably trembling, Leon followed the scent to the Virgo constellation. He gently patted the pillar outside the constellation twice and asked in a soft voice:
"This is Lyon, are you there?"

"Clap clap."

"Your Excellency Virgo, I have finished learning the secret technique of the Scorpio Palace's Anomalous Resonance. I noticed that you haven't set off yet, so I wanted to come and try it out, to see if I can get a basic understanding of it during this time."

"Clap!"

"Your Excellency, you were just watching me learn secret techniques, so you probably won't be leaving so soon. You're still inside, right?"

"Clap clap clap!!!"

"Your Excellency! Why aren't you saying anything? Is something wrong? If you don't make a sound, I'm coming in!"

……

Phew... I'm finally in...

After glancing at the lighthouse mark on the back of his hand, which seemed to have exhausted its power and become somewhat blurred, the All-Encompassing Cicada, wearing a five-hole mask, turned around and urged its companions behind it:

"Quickly hold the thrush steady, don't let it move around!"

Our power is all contained within the runes given to us by our Father; we can't use it casually. Right now, we're not much different from ordinary humans. You need to behave normally, try to act like ordinary humans, otherwise you'll easily get into trouble!

"Got it." x2
Reaching out to lift the restrained thrush and help him "stand" upright, the Red King, whose face was also covered by a mask, nodded and then anxiously asked:

"So, we've successfully infiltrated the area, right? What about Number 3, who hasn't woken up yet? Where is he?"
