I! Cleaner!
#934 - The last prophecy
Me? Have a fever?
Never would I have thought to hear such a strange question. Leon couldn't help but reach out, a puzzled expression on his face, and touched his forehead.
Compared to usual... it does feel a tiny, tiny, tiny bit warm? But a breeze on the balcony could drop my temperature by two degrees. This slight difference, less than half a degree, should be a normal temperature fluctuation, right?
"You have a fever too!"
Seeing Leon touch his forehead and then look strangely at her without saying anything, Anna's expression tightened. She quickly stood up, walked over, and used her somewhat cool palm to test Leon's forehead temperature.
"I'm not sure if it counts as a fever, but it does feel a little warmer than usual."
Casually touching Anna's forehead as well to confirm that her temperature hadn't changed, Leon felt relieved. He allowed her to measure his forehead temperature while asking, puzzled:
"Anna, why do you think I have a fever?"
"Because of your hair."
Looking at the dozens of strands of silver hair that had gathered into a lock within Leon's dark, shiny hair, Anna couldn't help but bite her lip, answering with concern:
"William also suddenly had a few white hairs before he got a fever, just like you. And the people who were sent to the almshouse today, too. Almost all of them started getting fevers after their hair changed color."
"?!!!"
Hearing Anna's words, Leon's brow furrowed slightly. He felt that this situation was likely some kind of anomaly. He reached out to touch his hair while frowning and asking:
"Besides a small portion of the hair changing color, do those people who were sent to the almshouse with mild fever symptoms have any other similarities?"
"Other similarities... Mostly black-haired and white-haired people?"
Thinking about it following Leon's words, Anna answered somewhat uncertainly:
"I helped settle over forty people, and more than forty of them had black or white hair. Only three had blonde or brown hair, and these three also had changes in their hair color. Two had a small lock of white hair, and one had a small lock of black hair."
So... the key to this anomaly is hair?
After touching his hair for a long time without hearing any unusual sounds, Leon's brow furrowed even tighter. Just as he wanted to continue asking about the situation, the sound of slippers on the floor suddenly came from the inner room.
"Big brother!"
Opening the door to the inner room, Melanie, who had just gone in, ran out again, clenching her small fists nervously, saying:
"William seems to be getting a fever again! Should we help him change his towel? Or should he drink some more medicine?"
Another fever?
Hearing Melanie's words, Leon in the living room couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. He quickly got up and walked towards the inner room.
Just as he was about to go over and take a look, a small head with slightly flushed cheeks peeked out from behind Melanie, eyes half-open and half-closed, and said:
"I'm okay... I actually feel fine, it's not as serious as she says."
No way! This isn't about whether it's serious or not!
Going over and touching William's forehead to confirm that he really was getting a fever again, Leon turned back decisively and said:
"Anna, take them both... no! You all stay here. I'll go after those two female officials and have them bring Ellie over too. Don't go to the almshouse for now either. I'll have Veronica arrange manpower and fever reducers.
Also, I have something to do back at the bureau, so I won't be eating at home today. If I have to go on another business trip, I'll have Veronica send someone to let you know."
"Okay."
Although she didn't understand why Leon was doing this, she understood from his serious expression that there must be something wrong behind this medium-scale fever outbreak. Anna went over and held the two clueless little ones, then instructed Leon, who was going to get his coat:
"Brother, remember to be careful."
"Don't worry."
After putting on his coat and quickly walking out of the house, Leon, with a tightly furrowed brow, immediately entered the Mirror World and began to travel at high speed through the mirrors, chasing after the two female officials.
A lot of messy information, like the glass scattered in different stores and buildings, constantly collided and converged in his mind, finally gradually revealing a clear "path."
The scope of this anomaly is probably not limited to the royal capital, but the entire present world! As for the source of the anomaly, there is a 90% chance that it is related to the Twin Kingdoms!
Recalling the secret that the red-haired director stubbornly refused to reveal, and the few "prophecies" that the Aquarius director had left for him, Leon's heart suddenly tightened slightly.
Before, after Aquarius ascended to the Watchtower Palace, he had returned once, kidnapped him into the Aquarius Palace to take over his position as director, and gave him four cryptic prophecies. After that, that part of his will had shrunk back into the Aquarius Palace and become a shut-in, and hasn't made any noise since.
The content of those four sentences predicted four disasters that the Slaughter King Society might cause: the melting of the hexagonal snow mountain in the Northern Kingdom, the lack of a successor to the Great Witch Queen in the Witch Kingdom, the transformation of the royal ship into a death zone in the Thousand Sails Sea Kingdom, and a large-scale massacre in the Twin Kingdoms.
The situations in the Northern Kingdom and the Witch Kingdom were barely resolved by him. There was a mistake in the Thousand Sails Sea Kingdom, and the entire royal ship was dragged away by the rulers of the Death Realm. It's still in the City of Regret, and he doesn't know how to get it back. The Twin Kingdoms are the only ones that haven't moved yet.
According to the information he got from chatting with the director of his Aquarius branch, the nationals of the remaining Sicalivin Kingdom in the Twin Kingdoms mostly have white hair, while the nationals of the East Calivin Kingdom, which had been destroyed by the director, mostly have black hair, which is the same as the hair color of those who are experiencing fever symptoms this time.
In addition, he vaguely remembered that many of the black-haired nationals in other kingdoms of the present world are descendants or survivors of the former East Calivin Kingdom. He and William happen to have black hair, so this fever outbreak is likely targeting people with the blood of the Twin Kingdoms!
Looking at the mirror on the side of the road and seeing the lock of white hair on the corner of his forehead, Leon couldn't help but take a deep breath, remembering Anna's words that a fever would occur after the hair changed color. He quickly stepped back into the mirror on the street.
Although he can't be 100% sure yet, this change is very likely the work of the Slaughter King Society. In addition, there must be more than just Anna who has discovered this anomaly.
According to the "working" process between the Virgo branch and the kingdom, this large-scale anomaly will definitely be sent to the Police Department first, then sent to the Cleansing Bureau through the Police Department, and finally appear on the director's desk.
After connecting all of this, the director's sudden haircut of the Slaughter Blood Hair and her strange behavior of leaving without saying a word had an answer... After receiving the news and judging the source, she decided to go to the Twin Kingdoms to completely settle the past!
