Chapter 1071: 0668 One Li Ang, One Hundred Seekers

0668 One Li Ang, One Hundred Seekers

"A True God can also be considered an edible anomaly... Hiss! Doesn't that mean..."

"It is exactly as you think."

After the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, the red-haired Director, who seemed to be in a good mood, continued:

"The most powerful aspect of the Cancer Palace's secret art lies in the act of devouring itself. Once caught by Lord Cancer, not only will the opponent's anomalous objects be consumed, but even all non-human entities that meet the criteria will be forcibly eaten by him, with almost no possibility of escape."

"Does this criteria refer to..."

"It should be the 'Li Ang Value'."

The red-haired Director blinked and said:

"When you first start learning the Cancer secret art, you can probably only devour targets with a Li Ang Value less than one-tenth of your own. As your mastery of the secret art deepens, this condition will become more lenient.

At Director Cancer's current level, it is estimated that any target with a Li Ang Value less than nine-tenths of his own is within his devouring range. It is said that the sixth-generation Director Cancer could even swallow opponents whose power was one-tenth greater than his own."

"..."

Good heavens... No wonder Director Cancer said that after looking at my file, he felt I had the talent to learn the Cancer secret art. It turns out he's an old senior in the field of the "God of Food"!

"By the way, Li Ang, although the Cancer secret art is excellent in terms of combat capability, if you want to learn this secret art, there are some things you still need to understand."

Ignoring the arguing Sagittarius Director and the branch directors, the red-haired Director leaned back stealthily and remarked with a straight face:

"Don't be fooled by Director Cancer's seemingly amiable appearance; in reality, his style is very close to that of Director Sagittarius. Both are hardliners within the Bureau. However, unlike Director Sagittarius, who is only tough in words, this person is very gentle in speech, but when he actually encounters a situation, he is incredibly stubborn.

In the twenty years he has been responsible for guarding the Abyss, it's not that no demons have tried to cause trouble, but most of those who did were eaten. Therefore, he actually has a favorable impression of hardliners. When you learn the secret art from him, you can pretend to be a bit tougher."

"Okay..."

"Additionally, that bulging belly of his is actually the safest prison in the entire Containment Bureau. Many guys who are difficult to deal with are sent there, and there are countless ferocious opponents imprisoned inside.

Moreover, this prison requires 'inheritance' from generation to generation. If you truly master the Cancer secret art, in the future, when Lord Cancer passes away from old age, those prisoners locked in his belly will all have to be transferred to your belly at once."

Huh? So after learning the Cancer secret art, I have to inherit this big belly and moonlight as a jailer for the Containment Bureau?

After hearing the red-haired Director's introduction, Li Ang couldn't help but look at Director Cancer's big belly. The expression on his face was slightly difficult to maintain, and then he couldn't help but ask:

"Then if Lord Cancer... passes away, what happens if the new successor of the secret art is not strong enough, or if no one has learned the secret art? What will happen to the 'Evil Gods' in that 'prison'?"

"The Bureau has a contingency plan for this. Applying the 【Anomalous Devouring】 secret art requires great strength, but the requirements for accepting prisoners already controlled by the secret art and maintaining the 'prison' are very low. Basically, being slightly better than a beginner is enough.

And if the position of Director Cancer is interrupted and no one successfully masters the Cancer secret art, then before the previous generation of Director Cancer passes away, his body and soul will be temporarily frozen. When there is another practitioner of the secret art later, they can just suck them out mouth-to-mouth."

"Ah? Suck them out with your mouth?!?!?!"

"Yes, just suck them out with your mouth."

After seeing Li Ang's deeply shocked expression, the red-haired Director's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly, and then she asked back with a playful look in her eyes:

"The Cancer Palace's devouring secret art is originally performed with the mouth. If you don't suck with your mouth, what else could you use?"

"Then... if you use your mouth, how far can you be at most when transferring prisoners?"

"You can't leave at all; you have to hold them tight and suck."

(wДw)!

"There's no way around it; after all, it involves many important prisoners, so we can't be careless in this regard." Glancing at Director Cancer, who was playing tricks to bypass her and secretly contacting Li Ang, the red-haired Director held Li Ang's palm and explained calmly:

"The Cancer secret art can only maintain suppression on prisoners 'inside the body'. Once you are far away and the secret art is interrupted, you might be directly escaped by the prisoners. Therefore, when transferring prisoners, the lips must be pressed tightly together, and they cannot be separated even a little bit."

"..."

Oh my god...

After hearing the specific method of transferring prisoners, Li Ang couldn't help but raise his head and look toward Director Cancer in shock.

And Director Cancer, who was holding his big belly on his seat and listening happily to the branch directors arguing, seemed to notice his gaze. He then parted his oily, fat lips and smiled at him with appreciation, and then subconsciously licked his lips.

"Hiss..."

After looking at Director Cancer's plump lips that resembled fat sausages, Li Ang couldn't help but shiver instinctively. Then he lowered his head honestly and avoided Director Cancer's appreciative gaze.

This secret art... it's not like I have to learn it... Farewell!

"Enough!"

Having argued with the branch directors for several hours without reaching a satisfactory result, Director Sagittarius, who was presiding over the meeting, couldn't help but rub his temples hard. He then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said with a frown:

"Let's stop the discussion on the proposal to recall the Directors here for today. Since everyone cannot reach a result, let's maintain the status quo for now and not be in a hurry to call them back.

Besides the matter of recalling the Directors, there is another very important thing that must be notified to you... Lord Taurus's condition is not very good, and she should not be able to hold on much longer."

?!!!

Upon hearing Director Sagittarius's words, the red-haired Director, who was peeking at Li Ang and giggling, suddenly changed her expression, and her two eyebrows stood up abruptly.

However, seemingly knowing she would have this reaction, after using the sensational opening to make the venue fall into a dead silence, Director Sagittarius immediately changed the subject and explained with a blank expression:

"Although there is no life-threatening danger, Lord Taurus's soul was first stripped from her body and then walked up more than 3,000 steps of the Denggong Staircase, suffering quite a bit of damage. It is difficult to continue maintaining her past state, so she may have to step down from the position of Director ahead of schedule."

Tsk... This old guy is still as annoying as before!

Glaring at Director Sagittarius with annoyance, the red-haired Director let out a long breath and leaned back into her chair. Director Sagittarius glanced at Li Ang behind her and continued to announce:

"Counting the Aquarius who betrayed us, there are currently two vacancies for the position of Director. Director Cancer is getting older and has old injuries, so he may also step down ahead of schedule in the next few years."

Even though Director Sagittarius's words implied that his own time was running out, Director Cancer was not angry. Instead, he nodded with a smile and chimed in:

"Yes, I don't have much time left to live! Counting me, there might be three vacancies at once. Plus, Sagittarius made a mistake this time and has to go guard the Abyss, and Pisces's situation is quite special, so it's best to find successors in advance.

Therefore, we old folks have decided to open a joint selection for the secret arts of the five palaces: Aquarius, Taurus, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Cancer, striving to cultivate a batch of new secret art successors before we all die.

And this round of screening, in addition to recommendations from Directors and Zodiac Directors, will also be directly selected by the Star Palace. All Containment Officers of Level 2 and above who have the corresponding Star Palace mark on their arms must participate in the corresponding selection."

Having the corresponding mark on the arm... So that pat Director Cancer gave my arm should be the "Director's recommendation", right?

After hearing Director Cancer's arrangement, Li Ang subconsciously looked down at his left arm, and then his mind went blank.

That round crab from before had appeared at some point. It was holding a turquoise porcelain bottle with its left claw, hanging a crooked bow and arrow with its right claw, and stepping on two large black and white fish, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at the bull opposite...
