Chapter 1113: Clash

It seems junior high geometry is still valuable...

After getting off the carriage that only traveled within the Royal Palace, looking at the bedroom outer wall that had already been plated with a layer of tin, Li Ang once again confirmed his previous judgment.

That anomalous object that caused the change should be in the Royal Palace, and the position is about the same as what he calculated. It is highly likely to be the bedroom in front of him.

In the square and streets outside the Royal Palace, what was affected were only "living things" like pedestrians and horses, while after entering the inner courtyard of the Royal Palace, even "dead things" like city walls and buildings began to tin-plate.

The stone slab road under his feet, although it still felt like a stone slab when stepped on, the floating dust and gray soil on the surface of the stone slab had turned into dark brown rust marks at some point.

The garden in the distance, although still lush, felt much less lively. The leaves on the treetops no longer swayed with the wind. Compared to the carefully built garden, it looked more like a huge metal bonsai cast in steel.

And the biggest change was the bedroom in front of him.

The originally simple, solemn, and historically rich architectural style suddenly became much rounder and more frivolous. There were large pieces of dark red tin on the top of the spire, and those tall, long, and exquisite outer windows also became short, fat, and round, losing clear edges and corners, almost completely becoming another appearance.

This weird change is like human palms with distinct knuckles being glued together with some kind of incomparably powerful glue, and then kneading the bones and flesh into a ball. Everywhere reveals a weird taste, and compared with other buildings around, it appears so out of place...

"Leader!"

Just as Li Ang was touching the Black Goat's head and checking the Royal Palace with soul vision, Watching Qiaoshuya, who had gotten off the carriage, followed up and said with a face full of shock:

"How did this happen? Why did the Royal Palace suddenly become like this?"

You ask me, who do I ask? I want to know too!

After glancing back at "Watching Qiaoshuya" who still had a slap mark on his face, Li Ang answered:

"There should be some anomalous object that was triggered.

I just looked at it carefully, and didn't see any obvious abnormal souls, so the thing that caused the Royal Palace to become like this probably doesn't have a 'user', but is an anomalous object that has run wild because it is out of control."

"Then... what should we do? Should we not stop the action?"

"Cannot stop."

With the help of the Black Goat's soul vision, in the bedroom belonging to the Princess, he found her soul flame jumping restlessly, but she had stayed in the room and hadn't moved at all. Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then stepped forward:

"The opportunity for you few people with anomalous objects to participate in the coup should only be this once. If we stop now, I don't know how difficult it will be to achieve this level again.

In addition, Princess Weiluonika is still in the range of this anomalous object. Her replacing the old King to succeed to the throne is the result with the least damage to the entire Kingdom. If something happens to her, then we have to make the worst plan.

If that kind of situation really happens, even if we can succeed in the end, a very, very large number of people will definitely die, and the entire Kingdom will be severely damaged. It might take two or three generations to recover, so we have to bite the bullet now."

"I understand!"

After nodding hard, "Watching Qiaoshuya" asked with a somewhat nervous expression:

"Then leader, should we protect the Princess first, ensure the Princess doesn't have any problems, or should we knock out the guard captain first, let me control his body to transfer the guards, and let our people attack?"

Save the Princess first or find the guard captain first?

Looking at the Princess's soul flame, which was full of panic and fear, jumping frantically and anxiously, but had always stayed in the room and hadn't moved half a step, Li Ang decisively said:

"Let's do these two things together!

Let's act separately. The situation on the Princess's side is a bit strange, I have to go see it first to ensure nothing happens to her.

As for you, Luke, you are using the Prince's body now. The guard captain won't have too much defense against you. It shouldn't be difficult to knock him out with a surprise attack."

"Good! Then I'll go over!"

After hearing Li Ang's words, "Watching Qiaoshuya" nodded. Just as the two had walked to the bedroom door, he learned the appearance of the freckled Prince on weekdays, walked to the guard on duty, and said arrogantly:

"Where is your captain? I have something to find him, hurry up and take me there!"

After hearing "Watching Qiaoshuya's" words, the tin soldier on duty blinked, then as if waking up from a dream, directly lifted the ceremonial stick in his hand and gave "Watching Qiaoshuya" a stick on the head.

No one expected that the guards in the Royal Palace would attack the Prince. Caught off guard, this stick landed solidly on "Watching Qiaoshuya's" head, smashing him until he fell down with a 'thud'. Damn?!!!

Stunned by this unreasonable stick, Li Ang hurriedly pulled "Watching Qiaoshuya" up from the ground, found that he had been knocked unconscious by this stick, and then looked at the guard with an expression of disbelief.

"No... why did you hit him?!!!"

"Your Highness Prince!"

Facing Li Ang's angry questioning, the guard holding the ceremonial stick saluted in a panic, then blinked his hollow glass eyeballs, his tin face full of confusion:

"He is a commoner, and he is wearing a criminal's clothes. Approaching the bedroom so rashly, he must be driven out!"

This is clearly Watching Qiaoshuya's body, what are you talking about?

Li Ang couldn't help but frown after hearing this, but just as he wanted to say something, he suddenly remembered something.

Luke, who occupied Watching Qiaoshuya's body, and himself, were both anomalous object holders with "infection values," so they could not be affected in cognition, still had normal senses, and could distinguish between humans and tin people.

Even when looking at his own body, he was completely normal in his vision. Without touching it, he couldn't even notice that he had become a tin person, and looking at each other was also normal.

As for Watching Qiaoshuya... although he didn't have an anomalous object, he had been to the headquarters of the Cleaning Bureau and had seen a large pile of anomalous objects. After that trip, he must have carried a zero-point-something infection value, and also had the ability to distinguish between tin and humans.

But the tin guards in front of him were different.

These ordinary people who were affected by the anomalous object and believed themselves to be tin people, since they didn't show suspicious expressions when seeing themselves, it proved that in their eyes, he and Watching Qiaoshuya were probably also tin people.

And this kind of mutual observation between tin people didn't seem to be based on the flesh. Their senses and judgment methods seemed to be more inclined to the soul level, or things like identity, status, and occupation.

So although Luke occupied Watching Qiaoshuya's body, in the eyes of the tin guards, he was not Prince Watching Qiaoshuya, but a "commoner criminal approaching the bedroom," so he hit him with a stick without hesitation.

This is troublesome...

Looking at Luke, who lost consciousness after being hit by this stick and automatically detached from Watching Qiaoshuya's soul, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh, then reached out and pinched Watching Qiaoshuya's philtrum hard.

"Ah!"

After screaming uncontrollably, the unconscious Watching Qiaoshuya sat up with a 'thud', and the tin guard beside him rubbed his eyes, then said with a face full of shock:

"Your Highness? You... you were clearly just..."

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The scream from high altitude interrupted the tin guard's words.

A tin doll wearing a bright red dress fell down from the outer window of the bedroom with a scream, and smashed onto the ground in the distance with a 'bang', which really startled Li Ang.

"What is that?"

"Reporting to Your Highness Prince."

After hearing Li Ang's question, the tin guard blinked his hollow glass eyeballs, then answered submissively:

"If you are asking who the person who just fell down is... that should be the respected Queen Your Majesty."

"..."

"Ah?"

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, the Iron Wang Gong was knocked flat to the ground by the immense force coming from the back of his head. Before he could even scramble up, the old Emperor behind him raised his gun and fired again with a cold face.

Four gunshots rang out—bang, bang, bang, bang. The Iron Wang Gong's metallic right knee joint was first deformed by the impact, then pinned firmly in place by four shooting nails. Unable to rise, he collapsed back to his knees, having completely lost the ability to move.

"Someone, come here!"

Tossing the nail gun to the attendant behind him, the old Emperor in the wheelchair raised his palm—covered in rust marks but still shockingly steady—and pointed at the Iron Wang Gong lying on the ground, shouting:

"Seize her for me! And send someone to Veronica's room... No! Go find the Wang Hou first and see if she is still alive!"
