Camille was actually speaking in code with Qu Jianlei earlier, meaning each handles one.

Luckily, Panda understood her hint and responded, this kind of tacit understanding is rare among strangers.

But there was actually one guy she didn’t perceive, which surprised her a bit.

Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, ”That person didn’t have a wristwatch, didn’t you notice?”

Actually, that person had a slight murderous aura as well, though he didn’t want to reveal all his cards.

No wristwatch... so you kill people? Camille found this answer a bit surprising.

However, the principle of a cleaner is to rather wrongly kill than let go, so she wasn’t too concerned, ”Seems you are more alert than I am.”

”Will there be more moves afterwards?” Qu Jianlei asked, ”These three people seem a bit weak.”

Actually, they weren’t weak at all, one B-level, one C-level, and one modified warrior.

Camille killed the B-level water attribute, which was the biggest one.

Qu Jianlei first killed a modified warrior, then a wind attribute C-level.

The modified warrior was somewhat like the sniper from the walking dead, hiding his murderous intent well, just about to draw the gun.

The wind attribute C-level was hidden even better, even avoiding Camille’s perception.

Both superpower warriors were not wearing armor to hide their breath, making them get killed with knives.

However, Qu Jianlei and Camille also weren’t wearing armor, since in public, they had to consider the impact.

In an unguarded situation, A-level isn’t much harder to kill than C-level, similarities only make the body slightly sturdier.

”I don’t know,” Camille shook her head, ”I intend to wait a little longer and see if I can kill two A-levels!”

She was truthfully a bit annoyed, regardless of whether those three intended to target her, daring to monitor the cleaner’s operations was intolerable.

Qu Jianlei smiled a little, earlier he avoided that drunk guy, just to try and involve the cleaner as well.

It’s not that he was bad-hearted, the cleaner had done such things with ulterior motives before, he was merely imitating.

Like Cheng Qingshan treated him with righteousness, he would definitely not involve the school guard team in this mess.

Camille knew why he laughed, thinking of the behavior of this guy just now, couldn’t help but snort, ”You are not a good person either.”

Qu Jianlei responded casually, ”In my dictionary, the word ’good person’ is an insult.”

At this moment, a person came running from afar, a B-level warrior.

”It’s the deputy director,” Camille muttered softly, worried that Panda might attack carelessly.

She had known before that the other party’s skills were excellent, but tonight she thoroughly experienced it.

Camille was very proud of her own skills, but had to admit, Panda was much stronger than herself.

If this guy took action, she wouldn’t even have time to stop him.

The deputy director ran over, explaining with a wry smile, ”Ke Zhenshan’s son came with the guests today, the director is comforting them.”

Ke Zhenshan is the fourth vice planet governor, currently has the tendency to replace Annette, considered quite lucky in officialdom.

Upon hearing this name, Camille also lost her temper, as the cleaner is the least wanting to have conflict with the government.

Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, ”Those three dead, who are they?”

The deputy director glanced at him, feeling puzzled, do you have the qualification to ask in Camille’s presence?

But he also heard about the earlier matter, knowing this person is ruthless, so he respectfully answered.

”Not locals, heard they’re from Star No. 3, seems to belong to some pioneer team.”

”Hey,” Camille snorted coldly, ”Whose pioneer team is so bold?”

”This I’m not very clear,” the deputy director smiled wryly, ”The three didn’t even carry identity tokens.”

Camille frowned slightly, ”Did you get their genetic information?”

”Got it,” the deputy director handed over a bag, ”We will also find out their identities as soon as possible.”

Camille took the bag, responding casually, ”See if anyone else comes, we’ll wait another half hour.”

The deputy director nodded and left, two minutes later two more people arrived, a B-level and a C-level.

Camille handed out the bag, stating blandly, ”I want results within half an hour!”

These two were also cleaners, no idea how she gathered them.

The two accepted the task, the B-level warrior even asked, ”Lady Camille, any more support needed here?”

”No need,” Camille shook her head, replied lightly, ”If the two of us can’t solve the problem, support would be useless.”

The B-level warrior glanced at Qu Jianlei, nodded, and left without another word.

Qu Jianlei could sense some doubt from the other side, but the internal rules of the cleaner were strict, inconvenient to ask.

He pondered for a moment, then lightly coughed, ”I think, these three may not be from a pioneer team.”

”May not be from a pioneer team?” Camille indeed was a bit surprised, then her face turned cold, ”Are you saying... this guy tricked me?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head again, ”I don’t know if he’s tricking you, just those three don’t seem like pioneer team members.”

He truly has the qualifications to say this, having stayed on Zarif Star for almost a year; what he sees most are Pioneer Team members.

The vast majority of Pioneer Team Members have a certain quality—a fearless wildness and boldness.

But the feeling these three people give him is different; they’re not only relatively reserved but also somewhat sinister, more like assassins.

If even one person among the three was like that, it could be considered an exception, but all three... it can’t be merely coincidental, right?

He had noticed this earlier, but he was too lazy to mention it, not wanting Camille to imagine things.

But now, feeling underestimated, he decides to bring it up.

”A bit off...” Camille glances at him, surprised, then asks after contemplating, ”Have you interacted a lot with Pioneer Team Members?”

See, here it comes? Qu Jianlei answers nonchalantly, ”I have a friend, an A-level named Fangcao; you probably know her.”

”Hmm, Black Rain Pioneer Corps,” Camille nods, fully aware of the Panda’s matters. ”You two returned to Star No. 4 together.”

With that explanation, she doesn’t bother pondering further. Being a part of the Cleaners, her interactions with the Pioneer Corps have been limited.

About ten minutes later, her wristwatch vibrates. She looks down, her face slightly changing.

”Quite interesting—a Star Thief, a lone mercenary... and someone who can’t be found?”

The two exchange glances, and Qu Jianlei asks in a serious tone, ”How do you think these three ended up together?”

”No need to say more,” Camille shakes her head, confidently stating, ”They’re people from the Cyan Blade Commerce Association.”

”Ha,” Qu Jianlei gives a dry laugh, ”Openly colluding with Star Thieves, Cyan Blade really isn’t afraid of trouble at all.”

Camille remarks casually, ”Honestly, it’s not much trouble. At worst, they’ll just say they’re Cyan Blade’s secret agents.”

She spoke quite naturally, as if it was nothing unusual.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised; he said it only to stir up conversation. Espionage is incredibly common.

He heard her words and furrowed his brow, ”I’m a bit curious, aren’t these three underestimating us?”

”They should only be responsible for shadowing,” Camille considers as she speaks, ”So let’s wait, we might get extra results.”

However, even Cleaners aren’t omnipotent. After some waiting, there’s no anomaly appearing.

Qu Jianlei is tired of waiting, he quickly moves to a corner, brings out Baofeng from the Storage Ring, and starts reading Cyan Blade Commerce Association’s data.

A quick glance shows that this commerce association is quite remarkable, with business spanning seven to eight Star Realms.

For now, he decides to set aside the other Star Realms’ data and focus on the Hope Star Realm content.

Currently, on Star No. 4, there are two known managers, nicknamed ”Foodie” and ”Scabbard.”

Both are A-level Warriors, responsible for commerce and eliminating rivals, moving mysteriously.

Known under their command are three A-levels; however, their subordinates are interchangeable, coordinating affairs across the Star Realm.

The one communicating with Aaron is likely one of the three A-levels, nicknamed ”Comet,” being a Fire Attribute.

Qu Jianlei, having read this, asks in a serious tone, ”Where is this Comet currently located?”

”Probably not nearby,” Camille replies seriously, ”But when he was communicating with Aaron, he was precisely at the place you mentioned.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei furrows his brow, ”So, this positioning jammer... is just a diversion?”

Seeing his slight disappointment, Camille can’t help but chuckle softly, ”It’s quite normal; anything shady would naturally be cautious.”

Why do I feel like you’re referring to me? Qu Jianlei pouts, ”Is there any location data on him now?”

”I’ve already sent for a check,” Camille answers, ”Within an hour, there should be feedback.”

Qu Jianlei nods upon hearing this, but the next moment, he feels something’s off.

He thinks it over and realizes: Why does it seem... like I’ve become the Cleaners’ hitman?

Of course, this isn’t something to take seriously; he needs their intelligence—it’s free, what’s there to complain about?

After some thought, he pulls out a handheld device, ”Then I’ll step out for a while, when there’s news... reach me through the handheld.”

Camille glances at him puzzled, ”You’re not waiting here?”

She really can’t comprehend his reasoning; once there’s precise information, I could help you!

Qu Jianlei smiles, ”I also need to verify some relevant info, so now... let’s agree on the handheld channel and random code.”

After agreeing, he swiftly disappears into the night.

Camille blinks several times before shaking her head, ”Utterly baffling.”

Qu Jianlei doesn’t return to the academy but finds a construction site a kilometer away.

The workers are still busy at night, but a completed building has no one inside.

Qu Jianlei picks a relatively enclosed room, and upon swiftly entering, he brings out Baofeng again.

”Xiaohu, we have data now, help me analyze it.”

The Big Head Butterfly rotates on Baofeng’s screen, ”Here it goes again with Baofeng, sigh, still not used to it...”
