Chapter 1157: Two-Way Rush

Don't react if you can't react, and wait for the other side to hit you?

Hearing the red-haired Director's words, Li Ang pondered for a while, then reached out and touched the 【Stealing Heart Nail】 and the 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】.

【Name: Stealing Heart Nail - Left (Mind-Through)】

【Appearance: A ruby earring that can only be worn on the left ear, styled as half a cracked heart. When the wearer is attacked, it will show a moist luster like a pearl】

【Ability: Penetrating the Heart】

【Cost: The more thoughts you eavesdrop on, the harder it will be to reveal your own thoughts when wearing this earring】

【File: Among the Mermaid clan, there is a legend called "Mind-Through Gem". It is said that as long as you hold this gem in your hand, you can know the thoughts of all intelligent creatures...

In a joint operation, the Mermaid Priest who led the tribe to occupy the seaport was killed, and the "Mind-Through Gem" he held was shattered by the Gemini Branch. The fragments were obtained by the Director of the Leo Branch, Beverly.

The "Mind-Through Gem" fragments were forged into two earrings, left and right, by the Taurus Secret Art. Because no one in the Leo Branch applied for them, they were handed over to the headquarters and finally obtained by the Director of the Virgo Branch, Olivia.】

【Evaluation: A quite practical anomalous object, very suitable for people with immortal bodies to use, it's just that the style is a bit girlish】

【Infection Value: 3.3】

【……】

【Name: Silver Dagger of Cutting (Cutting, Severing)】

【Appearance: A silver cutting knife with a pure and bright blade and a light and soft feel. Its handle is made of black locust wood, which is hard, smooth, and thornless to the touch. A line of ancient, lost characters is pressed on one side of the blade, meaning "Pure Blade of Cutting Life and Severing Death"】

【Ability: Cutting Leads to Life, Severing Leads to Death】

【Cost: When using this knife, you need to pay attention to maintaining inner purity and focus, regardless of good or evil, but you must be honest with your heart】

【File: One of the six special anomalous objects held by the now-extinct Lord of the Dead Realm, the "Six-Faced Elephant-Deer," responsible for cutting and sorting the list of the dead generated by the "Record of Dead Souls," and thus tainted with a portion of the authority to cut and sort life and death.

After the "Six-Faced Elephant-Deer," loathing its own endless work, chose to jump from the Cliff of Finality, the "Cutting Silver Dagger" and the other five anomalous objects were scattered throughout the Dead Realm and were obtained by the then-Director of the Gemini Branch...】

【Evaluation: An anomalous object with astonishing effects. When the "Cutting" effect is activated, it can cut everything the blade touches "alive", cleanly splitting it into two;

When the "Severing" effect is activated, it can forcibly sever a part of things from the "subject" they are in, and immediately bestow upon them an unavoidable death】

【Infection Value: 0.1 (Cutting), 60 (Severing)】

……

You really can't say, this combination might actually work.

After reading the description of the 【Stealing Heart Nail】 and the 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly.

For himself with an immortal body, as long as it is not a highly targeted attack, he won't die no matter how many times he is hit. But if his opponent is cut by the 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】, it might be fatal.

Even if the 【Stealing Heart Nail】 doesn't necessarily trigger 100%, and it doesn't necessarily hear the right thoughts even if it triggers, it will always succeed once after being hit thirty or fifty times. And as long as this set of things can succeed once, it will be enough for his opponent to drink a pot.

The only shortcoming is that this combination of 【Stealing Heart Nail】 + 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】 is only suitable for dealing with close-range opponents and lacks long-distance means to deal with enemies.

But he has the soul vision of the 【Black Goat】, supplemented by the Silver-level 【Shooting Expert】 badge, and the effect is not worse than ordinary long-range anomalous objects. Even if it is a bit lacking in winning, it is already enough as a supplement to the means. "Looking at your expression, you should think my suggestion is not bad."

Looking at the satisfaction revealed in Li Ang's eyes, the red-haired Director couldn't help but smile, then said seriously:

"However, even with new main battle anomalous objects, you'd better be as cautious as possible. Not to mention those investigators controlled by the Gemini Branch, just those thermal weapons of the Kingdom of Coroc are not generally dangerous.

In this joint investigation mission with the Scorpio Branch, my biggest requirement for you is to ensure your own safety. Once you encounter trouble that you can't solve, don't be brave and don't be unable to save face, hurry to find Edward for help.

Although my relationship with Edward is very bad, he is barely trustworthy, at least he won't stand by and watch you die. If he is also tied up, then try to follow Nicole, her life-saving means are not bad...

In short, whether the mission is successful or not is not important, your safety is the most important. Do you understand?"

"Mm, I remember."

Hearing the red-haired Director's sincere instructions, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a slight warmth in his heart.

Although the Director has a somewhat teasing personality and is extremely unreliable after getting drunk, she is reliable most of the time, and her personality charm is not bad. She takes good care of him, and she is a good leader.

"Also..."

Just as Li Ang was moved by the red-haired Director's thoughtful instructions, he saw her cough slightly, then unconsciously shift her gaze, her eyes drifting a little as she said:

"If you cause... if you make a relatively big noise this time, such as accidentally blowing up the Mechanical City, or almost making the Coroc royal family disappear, remember to say it was commanded by Edward."

"……"

……

"Remember, your first priority is not to investigate the situation of the Kingdom of Coroc, but to keep a close eye on that Li Ang and don't let him mess around!"

Looking at the two investigators who looked at each other with confusion and then looked at her with incomprehension, the Scorpio Director couldn't help but reach out and rub her eyebrows, then continued to urge with a headache:

"In short, you don't need to worry about other things. In this joint investigation mission, you two just need to keep an eye on him for me and don't cause any big trouble. Then you two will have made a great contribution! Do you remember?"

"Remembered."

"Okay, Director!"

Facing the Scorpio Director's strict instructions, although they were full of doubts in their hearts, the two investigators, one old and one middle-aged, still had to nod, indicating that they would definitely keep a close eye on Li Ang.

However, although they agreed on the surface, facing the Scorpio Director's performance as if facing a great enemy, the two Scorpio Branch investigators couldn't help but have some complaints in their hearts, and even felt that their Director was making a bit of a fuss.

After all, although powerful anomalous objects can be obtained quickly, the degree of infection of anomalous objects by investigators still needs time to grind. That Li Ang has only joined the Containment Bureau for three months, and it would be the limit to save five or six points of Li Ang value.

And the two of them are both senior second-level investigators, having joined the Containment Bureau for more than five years, and their Li Ang values are almost touching the 30-point mark. Just in terms of "paper" strength, it is estimated that they have more than five or six times his.

You know, this kind of Li Ang value brought by long-term infection of anomalous objects can allow investigators to gradually transform into "non-human". When they reach the level of a first-level investigator, they can even avoid bullets fired from a distance purely by physical reaction.

With such a huge gap between 30 points and 5 points, if they are approached by the two of them, that Li Ang is afraid that he won't even have the chance to use anomalous objects. The two of us are watching him, can there be any problems? Is it necessary to remind us repeatedly?
