Chapter 1184: Don't Ask, Asking Means Misunderstanding

"Senior Alger."

Gently touching the little flower in his pocket to confirm that Princess Feliya's condition was normal, Li Ang expanded the effect of 【Secret Tail】 to include the strong man behind him, then asked curiously:

"Did you originally look like this?"

"No..."

Hearing Li Ang's inquiry, the tall and strong Alger shook his head and answered cautiously:

"I was only 1.6 meters tall originally, and my figure was very thin and small, completely different from now.

It's just that later, during a mission, my body was severely damaged, so I had to apply for the 'Nine Demon Threads' and replaced almost my entire body, which is how I became what I am now."

"I see..."

Li Ang had actually learned some things about these matters from the description of 【Skin Thread】. He only brought it up now to find a topic. Seeing that Alger had picked up the conversation, he smiled and continued:

"Senior Alger, you seem to be... wary of me?"

"Uh..."

"Don't worry, I'm really not a particularly crazy person. You don't actually need to guard against me like this."

After shaking his head helplessly, Li Ang explained:

"Regarding the fact that I ate the Three-Headed Dog God, it really didn't spread as ridiculously as that. At that time, Nicole and I were both swallowed by it and almost died in the dog god's stomach. More than half of our souls were digested by it.

Nicole's soul strength is much higher than mine, so nothing happened, but with my soul strength at that time, even if I returned to this world safely, I wouldn't be able to control my body and would have to lie in bed for at least several years.

Plus, the part of my soul that I lost was in the dog god's body. My soul was looking forward to completing itself, so I had no choice but to eat it. I was also forced to do so."

"Oh... I see..."

"The same goes for the Dream World incident. There was a reason why I did that..."

Seeing that Alger still maintained an attitude of keeping his distance, in order to get closer to him, Li Ang thought for a while, explained his encounter at that time and the reason for being angered by the King of Nightmares, and then said sincerely:

"Senior Alger, whether it's you or Director Edward, you actually have some misunderstandings about me.

Things like killing true gods or destroying the Dream World are special circumstances. In normal times, I am actually a quite steady person and generally won't do extreme things."

"..."

Indeed, he still looks quite gentle and gives people the feeling that he is quite easy to get along with...

After listening to Li Ang's explanation, Alger found that he didn't seem to be as crazy as the rumors said, and his tense expression finally relaxed slightly.

But that strange feeling of being dominated at any time still lingered in his heart. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he asked his doubts cautiously.

So he noticed this.

Li Ang, who was walking towards the side of the road, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

After noticing that 【Skin Thread】 had a "Fallen" label and was within the control range of 【I Am the Demon】, before the two of them let go of their hands, he switched this Demon Badge out.

After all, the situation of 【Nine Demon Threads】 is relatively special. Besides being an anomalous object, it is also Alger's body. Whether 【I Am the Demon】 can dominate it still needs to be tested to be reassuring.

At that moment, although Li Ang didn't issue an order, 【I Am the Demon】 in the slot flickered, which proved that no matter whose body it is, as long as it belongs to an anomalous object with a "Fallen" label, it will be affected by 【I Am the Demon】.

And it is estimated that the moment the badge flickered, it produced an extremely short-term dominance effect on Alger's 【Skin Thread】, which was detected by him...

"Don't worry, this is also a misunderstanding." After looking at Alger, who still had vigilance in his expression, Li Ang, who had a good but not deep impression of the Scorpio Branch, decisively lied in order to fool him into being his helper:

"You also know that I was originally called a Demon Scholar. I have several demon anomalous objects in my hands, and my compatibility with demon-type anomalous objects is very high. It is probably this aspect that caused you to have a misunderstanding."

Is it also a misunderstanding...

Vaguely feeling that something was still wrong, but unable to figure out where the problem was, Alger had to nod and temporarily accept this statement.

And after the "misunderstanding" between the two was cleared up, he seemed to become much more natural. Although he still subconsciously fell half a body behind Li Ang, he was finally willing to communicate normally.

"Li Ang, uh... sir..."

Originally wanting to call Li Ang by his name, but subconsciously adding an honorific, the strong man walking on the street with his back to the sun, with his shadow covering Li Ang completely, unconsciously reached out and rubbed the corner of his clothes, then asked cautiously in a low voice:

"What are you going to do next?"

"It's very simple. First go back to the embassy area, bring out the two people left there, and then go to see the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

After pondering slightly, Li Ang explained with a smile:

"When I met the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kroke Kingdom before, I suggested that he buy long-distance communication technology, and the scholar who invented this technology should be from the 1st Research Zone of the Kroke Kingdom.

According to my estimation, the Minister of Foreign Affairs should have finished counting the technology last night. If we go over now and hijack him, and get the information about similar technologies and inventors he summarized, we might be able to find the 1st Research Zone, and then find the location of Atifi 01."

"???"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

You still have the nerve to ask if there is any problem?

Looking at Li Ang, who turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled face, Alger's cheeks couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Didn't you already quit the mission? Why are you still investigating Atifi 01?

Also, didn't you say before that you are usually very steady? How come you want to hijack a national minister as soon as you open your mouth? How can you be considered steady? It's simply...

Hmm... Why can he be so calm? Could it be that I am a bit too fussed?

After looking at Li Ang, who had a surprised expression, and recalling the terrible resume of this junior, Alger suddenly felt that kidnapping the Minister of Foreign Affairs didn't seem so unacceptable.

Not to mention anything else, he even kidnapped the Princess of the Kroke Kingdom, and the person is now in his pocket. So, when he is doing investigation tasks, hijacking a minister by the way, it seems... it can't be considered a big deal, right?

"Nothing..."

After swallowing the full stomach of complaints back, Alger, whose bottom line had inadvertently retreated a big step, shook his head. He hesitated slightly, then asked:

"Mr. Li Ang, if you really find the 1st Research Zone based on that scholar's whereabouts, would you mind if I notify Director Edward?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Li Ang smiled when he heard this, and answered with a gentle expression:

"I told you about this, actually, it means this. I didn't tell Director Edward before, mainly because I wasn't sure if this method would work, so I wanted to wait until I was sure before telling him. Hmm... then I'll trouble you to notify him."

Ah, this...

Completely unexpected that Li Ang, known as the Food God Demon, would be such a generous person. Not only did he not care about his own director's behavior of squeezing him out, but he was even prepared to share the intelligence he had worked so hard to find. Alger's heart was suddenly filled with shame.

To be reasonable, compared to Mr. Li Ang in front of him, the messy things his own director did were really a bit unpresentable. When the director was thinking about grabbing credit and squeezing people out, others were working hard to complete the investigation mission and didn't care about his director at all.

This is really... Director, you have been completely compared down...
