Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1240 The Road Where No Crows Remain
"Just leave it outside the door, thank you Uncle John!"

After thanking the burly old man gratefully, Anna, holding the baby, glanced at the oversized pacifier outside the door and the four strange figures struggling inside it. She instinctively took a step back, then asked her nephew with some confusion:
"Who are they? Why are they in here?"

"I caught the bad guy."

After rummaging through the small pocket in front of his belly and finding a new pacifier, the indifferent-looking baby smacked the pacifier arrogantly, then raised his hand and beckoned to the terrified Four Pillars Gods.

"what!!!"

Accompanied by screams that echoed throughout the entire Happy Apartment building, the giant pacifier, which was over three meters in diameter, shrank inward. After only a few tremors, it was compressed to the size of a fist and floated shakily toward Anna.

Is this the maximum size it can be compressed to? This baby's body is far too weak to withstand any force...

Reaching out, the baby caught the pacifier that flew towards him. After checking the four pillars of the spirit that had been compressed along with it, the baby couldn't help but frown at his still-growing eyebrows. He then casually tossed the pacifier toward the kitchen and into the makeshift chicken coop lined with Leon's old clothes.

"oops!"

When Anna saw the four bad guys being thrown into the kitchen, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She subconsciously took a few steps after them, but then immediately stopped, unsure whether she should go over and take a look.

"It's alright, Aunt Anna."

After slightly arching its head to find a more comfortable position, the baby spoke to comfort:
"Let them stay in the chicken coop for now. Father probably needs a few pillar spirits right now. When he comes back, just tell him that these are gifts from me."

"Oh……"

After spending so many days with him, Anna had become somewhat familiar with her nephew's busy social life, so she nodded in agreement. Then, unable to contain her curiosity, she asked:

"By the way, you're not the original you, are you? If you could, could you tell me who my sister-in-law was in the world you came from? I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"That...that works too."

Looking at the youthful version of Aunt Anna, so different from the mature and intellectual figure she remembered, her eyes full of curiosity, the baby couldn't help but chuckle softly, then replied in a gentle voice:

“Aunt Anna, you probably don’t know my mother. Her name is Amyne, Amyne Bellette.”

Amien?
"She's also a cleaner from the Cleanup Bureau, nicknamed the Plague Pharmacist. She hasn't met you in this world yet, but she once participated in the promotion assessment with your father..."

After briefly explaining his mother's identity, the baby patiently continued:

“Aunt Anna, when you were hospitalized and almost died, it was Aunt Emma from this world who helped Father and rescued you from the Red Brick Road Hospital.”

In the world I came from, my father was calmer when he realized something was wrong and Aunt Olivia wasn't there. He first knocked on all the offices on the first floor of the Cleaning Bureau.

The mother, who was preparing medicine at the time, was annoyed by the noise, so she came up from the underground laboratory and handed the father a bunch of medicines, helping him resolve the anomaly outbreak at the Red Brick Road Hospital. That's how the two met. After getting to know each other better, they became partners and gradually formed a regular mission team.

I see……

Having heard the gossip from another timeline and satisfied her curiosity, Anna nodded slightly with satisfaction. Then, gently patting her little nephew in her arms, she said with a smile, "Being willing to help Big Brother, Miss Amyn must be a good person. And Big Brother is a good person too. They must be very happy in that world, right?"

"..."

They were indeed living a very happy life, but that might not be the case for the rest of our world...

Although a child doesn't dislike their mother for being ugly, the baby's smooth cheeks twitched involuntarily when recalling the terrifying history of their parents forming a "sea of ​​poop" partnership. They mumbled a couple of responses to brush off the question, then said goodbye:

"Aunt Anna, I have to go now. Don't forget to take those four... um?"

As the instructions reached this point, the baby suddenly paused, frowned, and stretched out his right hand towards the kitchen.

At the same time, the thrush, its body shimmering with a dark light, trembled violently and hurriedly squeezed its head out of the pacifier's hole, bringing it close to Leon's old clothes in the chicken coop and sucking hard.

That's it! That's it! That's the taste!

Feeling the familiar scent emanating from the old clothes that sent shivers down her spine, the thrush, tears welling in its eyes, hadn't even had a chance to shout "Long live the God of Food!" before its body trembled violently from instinct, transforming into a puff of black mist that "leaked" directly into the mortal world, leaving no trace.

Forget it... I'll just run away.

Squinting at the thrush that had vanished into five planes in an instant and was still moving further away, the baby shook its head helplessly and casually threw away the handful of thrush feathers it had just plucked.

The ability to avoid calamities is indeed a shameless thing. This truth, which comes at the cost of forever avoiding one's father and almost sacrificing all other effects, has reached the theoretical limit in terms of 'avoidance'.

Even if the raven didn't obtain enough energy from its father's old clothes to activate [Disaster Avoidance], it would probably just scream and disappear without a trace the moment its father showed up at home. It really wouldn't make a difference whether it was caught or not.

"Then let's do this for now."

After a slightly regretful sigh, the baby yawned briefly, then buried his head in Anna's arms and fell into a deep sleep, leaving behind only a short instruction.

"Aunt Anna, please give my regards to my father."

What happened next seemed to be an interpretation of the baby's prophecy. Just as he fell asleep with even breathing, familiar footsteps immediately sounded from the direction of the stairwell outside the door.

"I am back."

As Anna had done countless times before, Leon, carrying two boxes, smiled at her, then deliberately lifted the boxes in his hands and said:

"These aren't food ingredients; they're experimental samples I'm preparing to take to the Netherworld. Don't touch them, and don't let those two little bastards find out... Hmm... What's going on at home? Over in the kitchen..."

"The child said it was a gift for you, but I don't know the specifics."

Seeing Leon's sudden alertness, Anna carefully held her nephew tighter, then frowned and recalled:
"Not long after William returned, the child suddenly leaned out the window and shouted, spitting out the pacifier he was holding. Then I asked Uncle John to bring the enlarged pacifier back up. It seemed like something was locked inside... the Supreme Four Pillars?"
