Twisted Dreams-Chapter 31 - 3: The Expansion of the Cleaner System

Chapter 31: Chapter 3: The Expansion of the Cleaner System

Inside the villa.

Suzu stayed up several nights and finally finished five membership cards.

She had dark circles under her eyes:

"Li Yang, can I play with the tablet now?"

Li Yang handed over the tablet. Suzu finally showed a rare smile and collapsed onto the sofa, snoring away.

Staying up all night doesn’t really affect a demon. She’s just depleted her Spiritual Power and will be fine after a nap.

Li Yang got up, took a blanket, and covered Suzu. He took out his phone.

There was no news about the North City Suburban Cemetery on his phone.

Li Yang smiled.

Last night, there was clearly a supernatural event with quite a few witnesses.

But an invisible hand erased everything as if nothing had happened.

This was a test for Su Yutang. If she had a crew of Living Dead, she’d do better.

Li Yang needed such methods to help him make bold moves. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Next, go find those Cleaner candidates."

Recently, a strange flu had appeared in South Sea, deadly for people with poor immunity.

Suzu initially helped Li Yang identify 124 suitable people to accept the power of Death God and become Living Dead, serving as Cleaners.

The addresses were already written on a piece of paper.

Li Yang waved his hand, and a crow bathing in sunlight at the window flapped its wings and flew over.

It tilted its head and looked at the words on the notebook.

Li Yang tapped its head:

"Two things.

First, tell Du Yangming to find these people and have them walk to Little Black Mountain.

Remember, Du Yangming’s task is only to inform them, not to help them."

Little Black Mountain is an untouched scenic mountain near Li Yang.

"Second, inform Su Yutang to find a house for settling the Cleaners."

The crow crossed its wings in front of its body, bowed respectfully, then flew out the window.

Suzu rubbed her eyes and sat up:

"You’re planning to turn those people into zombies, right?

Those people are so weak, and the road is so far.

While suffering from illness, they also have to walk such a distance. How many will make it here?

Wouldn’t it be better if you went yourself?

Why only let that vampire inform them?"

Li Yang fiddled with a membership card and said:

"People must ultimately rely on themselves.

If they don’t even have the courage to survive, becoming Living Dead would make them useless Living Dead."

Those Living Dead will serve as Cleaners in the future, and the job of a Cleaner isn’t comfortable at all.

To walk several miles while sick is a test, a test of survival will.

What if one day, a Cleaner says they can’t stand the pressure of the cleaning work and wishes for death?

Then what would Li Yang have gained from this?

This is not just a test but also for secrecy reasons.

To prevent people who shouldn’t be on the list from appearing on Little Black Mountain at inappropriate times.

Suzu puffed up her cheeks:

"It’s just a pity.

I worked so hard, and clearly, you could have over a hundred followers.

But in the end, you only gain a few."

Li Yang glanced at Suzu:

"You’re not sleepy anymore?"

Suzu struggled to keep her eyes open, holding her tablet:

"I want to see how Er Zhuzi managed to finish off Prince Itachi."

...

South Sea Medical University Affiliated First Hospital.

In the hospital ward, Du Yangming was lying on the bed, wrapped in bandages.

His fiancée Li Mingyue was feeding him soup with a spoon.

Li Mingyue gently wiped Du Yangming’s mouth and smiled sweetly:

"Good boy, you drank it all up.

Brother Yangming is recovering fast. The doctor said your recovery speed is simply miraculous."

In fact, Du Yangming could recover his injuries quickly.

But recovering too fast would cause unnecessary trouble and suspicion.

So, he could only recover slowly, trying to look as normal as possible.

Du Yangming felt grateful to Li Yang, yet guilty toward Li Mingyue.

He shared everything with Mingyue, but now he had to hide such a big thing from her.

Du Yangming held Li Mingyue’s hand:

"Once I’m better, let’s get married."

Li Mingyue showed a hint of shyness on her face.

"Mingyue..." Du Yangming was just about to whisper something.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

He sensed a demonic presence approaching!

Du Yangming looked outside the window and saw a sparrow staring at him like a human.

Li Mingyue waited for a while but didn’t hear Du Yangming speak. She asked:

"What’s wrong, Brother Yangming?"

Du Yangming replied:

"Are you sleepy? Have a nap."

Du Yangming’s words were gentle, like a lullaby.

Li Mingyue’s eyelids drooped, and her head sank, and she fell asleep on the hospital bed.

Vampires are naturally adept at using Black Magic.

Even though he hadn’t fully awakened his Black Magic Talent, he could still use some very basic magic.

Low-level magic would definitely be ineffective against Zhu Dajun or demons like the Three-headed Hellhound.

But it was no problem against a weak woman.

Du Yangming got out of bed and opened the window:

"What’s the matter?"

He was well aware of his position.

Apostle of the Death God.

Thus, he only needed to be servile to the Death God.

He was tough, which also represented the firm attitude of the Death God.

A sparrow flew into the room, carrying a pen, and began drawing on a blank piece of paper.

The speed was fast, like a printer, perfectly replicating the words on Li Yang’s paper.

They were some addresses and names.

Then, the sparrow made a mechanical-like sound:

"Tell them!

Walk to the Great Black Mountain!

Those who believe in the Death God!

Those who successfully arrive at the Little Black Mountain tomorrow night!

Will be exempt from death!

Vampires, do not do anything unnecessary!

Vampires, do not do anything unnecessary!"

The sparrow’s words were brief, and Du Yangming fully understood their meaning.

Believers of the Death God, reaching the Little Black Mountain, completing these two conditions would earn the Death God’s blessing.

And he was merely a bridge conveying this information.

He could not force them to believe in the Death God, nor could he provide them with rides or anything like that.

Du Yangming cupped his hands:

"I obey the Death God’s command!"

The sparrow flapped its wings and left the ward.

.....

South Sea Detai Group Building, CEO office.

Su Yutang was lying on the desk, reviewing some documents.

The documents pertained to the ’God Creation Organization’.

The tasks assigned by the Death God allowed no relaxation.

A ’thud thud’ sounded outside the window.

Su Yutang hurriedly went over and saw the Crow Deity himself.

She quickly opened the window and knelt on the ground:

"I greet His Majesty the Black Dragon!"

The Black Dragon said indifferently:

"Your opportunity has arrived."

Su Yutang dared not raise her head and said in a low voice:

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

The Crow said:

"The master intends to invite you to join the Demon Club."

Su Yutang frowned.

Demon Club?

Could it be an organization personally created by the Death God?

The Crow looked at Su Yutang with an appreciative gaze:

"By joining the Demon Club, you officially enter the Extraordinary Realm.

Your work in finding corpses of the wicked and erasing demonic traces has been commendable.

Hmm, you’re fortunate to have some status in the mortal world.

The master has decided that you will lead the new Cleaner System.

The Cleaner System’s task is to erase demonic traces left in this world.

You must serve the Demon Club better."

Su Yutang’s body trembled, eyes full of joy.

Leading a team of extraordinaries?

Even if the Cleaner System was merely a service system for the Demon Club, even if it was the lowest-level extraordinary unit, it was still an extraordinary team!

"Grateful to my master, the Death God, many thanks to His Majesty the Black Dragon!"

Su Yutang’s figure was excellent, and her posture while kneeling was highly seductive. Coupled with her identity as a female CEO, it was enough to make any man’s blood boil.

Unfortunately, she faced a crow.

"Hmph! But you disappoint me greatly!"

The Crow suddenly snorted coldly.

Demonic Qi rose from its body, slowly coiling into a black snake.

The black snake was thicker than before, like a black python, making the Crow seem tiny in comparison.

A powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire office, the mountain-like oppression stunned Su Yutang.

Evidently already considered extraordinary, yet facing the Crow, a genuine demon enhanced by the Desire Potion, still felt as insignificant as an ant.

Su Yutang quickly asked:

"Your Majesty, have I done anything to displease you?!"

The Crow said:

"Rewards are rewards, punishments are punishments!

Although you’ve done well in offering up corpses and erasing demonic traces.

Why haven’t you discovered the truth behind Zhu Dajun’s pursuit yet?!

Are you lax with me, or do you dare to be lax with my master?!"

Cold sweat instantly trickled down Su Yutang’s back, and she hurriedly explained:

"It’ll be soon. I’m on the verge of uncovering it. Please give me a little more time!"

Only then did the Crow withdraw its demonic aura.

A subordinate needs to be kept on a tight leash now and then.

The master is very busy, so these trivial matters have to be managed by an apostle like me.

The Crow said:

"Then I’ll give you a bit more time.

Next, find a hidden place to accommodate the Cleaners.

The scope of the Cleaners’ work, I will inform you in due time."

With that, the Crow flapped its wings and left.

Su Yutang dared not raise her head for a long while, only standing up after confirming the Crow had gone far away.

She took out her phone:

"Xiaowang, is there anyone living in that manor in the southern suburbs?

I’ll go there tomorrow, tidy it up for me."
