Chapter 107

"No... can you have at least a little dignity as a Great Demon?"

Watching another version of himself acting like a sycophant—not just obsequious, but completely devoid of any bottom line—the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang felt a surge of intense crisis alongside his boiling rage.

When he had previously convinced Li Ang to stand on his side, the reason he used was that the heart was too arrogant and certainly wouldn't be as obedient as he was, but looking at this dog's attitude now...

Damn it! Has the competition for being someone's dog become this fierce now?

"It's lying to you!"

After being ruthlessly undercut by his own heart, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, facing vicious competition, felt rage rise from his heart and malice grow in his guts. He said to Li Ang with a sinister tone:

"It is Pride, after all! Based on what I know of it, this guy would absolutely never be this submissive. It's most likely planning to pacify you and then take the opportunity to snitch to the Cleanup Bureau! Hurry up and do it!"

"You?!!!"

Watching Li Ang suddenly narrow his eyes and grip the pendant again, the 【Heart of Ambition】, having suffered a ruthless backstab, couldn't help but be furious.

Back when I hadn't been split into seven parts, I was undoubtedly number one. The only reason you, you son of a bitch, could rank third is because the one in fourth place was Sloth, who was too lazy to even compete with you!

You trashy third-place, you just happened to find a suitable host a step before me. After seeing your big brother, instead of obediently yielding the person, you're actually thinking of sowing discord and provoking him to finish me off?

You forced my hand!

After being thoroughly disgusted by his third-ranked brother's "sixth-man" behavior, the 【Heart of Ambition】 "gritted his teeth" and raised the stakes:

"Besides these damn horns, I've also found out the whereabouts of the stomach and the tail over these years!

As long as you erase its will and let me be your heart, not only will I listen to everything you say, but I can even tell you the whereabouts of those two items!"???

Damn, you're still trying to out-compete me?

After glancing at Li Ang's somewhat moved expression and realizing the situation seemed unfavorable, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang suddenly shuddered violently and hurriedly spoke up to increase his own stakes:

"Do you really need you to tell us the whereabouts of other things? Once Li Ang reaches the upper echelons of the Cleanup Bureau, we have plenty of ways to ask others to investigate!

Also, do you even deserve to compare yourself to me?

I've been with the Cleanup Bureau... I've been cooperating with the Cleanup Bureau for all these years, staying by the side of the Zodiac Branch Director, recording countless secret files and learning countless hidden secrets!"

When he said this, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang took the opportunity to sneak a glance at Li Ang's soul. Finding that it seemed to be tilting back toward his side, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pressed his advantage:

"Li Ang! As long as you crush it, I will answer whatever you ask from now on!

Haven't you always been curious about Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's experiences and the past of that red-haired woman? As long as you erase its will, I'll tell you right away!"

"You! Damn it! I can also give him money! Give him power! Give him the opportunity to reach the pinnacle!"

"Laughable, the things you mentioned are just trash in the face of absolute power!"

"I think you're the trash!"

"You're trash! You're the biggest trash! You're even trashier than that thing that got blown up!"

"..."

Watching these two pieces of sheep offal tearing each other apart and losing all pretense just to see who would get to be his dog, Li Ang made a silent decision after a moment of silence.

Only children make choices; adults, of course, want them all!

It's just that...

"Stop arguing. It is absolutely impossible to give you the heart."

As a Heaven-rank cultivation technique of the Cleanup Bureau on the same level as "Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's Remaining Sutra," the third article of "The Director's (Anomalous Object) Training Manual" states: do not trust any sentient anomalous object; no matter how submissive it appears, one should always retain a measure of doubt.

Especially after they propose a seemingly tempting condition, one must repeatedly remind oneself that anomalous objects are mostly born from extremely paranoid emotions and experiences, or are simply parts of some Outer God or demon. Trusting them lightly is equivalent to committing a crime against oneself and this world.

After repeatedly reciting the "Director's Training Manual" he had summarized and suppressing the urge to agree, Li Ang felt the immense disappointment radiating from the 【Heart of Ambition】's soul and tentatively proposed:

"However... if you are willing to cooperate with me and prove that this incident was all done by Bobby Laien, then after you've been inspected by the Bureau, I can apply to have you re-assigned to me."

"Good! Ahahaha! Good! Good!"

Although he couldn't "reach the sky in one step" and directly replace Li Ang's heart, the 【Heart of Ambition】 was still overjoyed and said "good" several times.

As for when he could truly take the position... Heh, once this kid uses him a few times and experiences the absolute authority of controlling everything, he would eventually beg him to be his heart!

"Li Ang! Have you forgotten what that red-haired woman told you?"

Feeling the 【Heart of Ambition】's immense smugness, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, whose position as the number one lackey was in jeopardy, said urgently:

"How can you even believe a demon's words? You have to be ruthless at a time like this! If you don't erase it and it turns around to snitch to the Cleanup Bureau..."

"You're right, I really shouldn't trust a demon's words lightly."

After glancing sideways at the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul, which was bubbling over with malicious intent, Li Ang reminded him with a speechless expression:

"Also, have you forgotten that I also have soul vision when I hold you, and I can see even more clearly than you? If it were really lying, I would have seen it long ago, okay?"

"..."

After exposing lackey number one's sowing of discord and silencing him, Li Ang placed the designated lackey number two back onto Bobby Laien's body, then looked down at his coat soaked in blood.

Having arranged the criminal motive and means, coordinated the testimony with the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, and bribed the only remaining eyewitness, the only thing that couldn't be explained now was why he had bled so much but had no injuries on his body...

After taking a deep breath, Li Ang looked around, found a relatively clean spot to lie down, and then gripped the Holy Spirit pendant tightly.

If you're going to act, you have to do it properly!

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

After knocking open the door to the Director's office, the short man rubbed his palms vigorously and asked impatiently:

"That... I don't actually have anything going on, I just wanted to ask you, how much longer until that person who can help me appraise items comes to work?"

Hasn't little Li Ang arrived yet?

Hearing the short man's words, the red-haired Director's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly, but after sensing the condition of her hair, they smoothed out again, and she replied:

"He went out on field duty yesterday to investigate the whereabouts of an anomalous object. If he hasn't arrived yet, he might have discovered something and is catching up on sleep after investigating all night, right? If the mission is completed, he should be here in a little while."

"That's good... Heh, by the way, what kind of mission did he go on? It just so happens that many of my 'friends' are still free, how about I lend a hand..."

"Hmm? Jie Rui, are you being so friendly to a newcomer?"

Without needing to guess what the short man was thinking, she teased him with a smile, then the red-haired Director said confidently:

"But I'm afraid you won't be able to help. It's just a normal investigation mission. Although he has a little less experience, Li Ang is steady and reliable. I trust him with his work!"
