Chapter 1189: Fast or Slow?

I really didn't expect... that we could still come back...

Following Li Ang, who was covered in blood, through the mist and returning to the world of the living, looking at everything familiar in the world of the living, the three cleaners couldn't help but have tears in their eyes, excited and unable to control themselves.

But before they could open their mouths to thank Li Ang, the fierce sunlight of the world of the living shone on the souls of the three, suddenly igniting large pieces of invisible white smoke, burning the three to scream.

"Open your mouth!"

Li Ang, who had been prepared for this situation, grabbed the souls of the three cleaners, pried open the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's mouth, and stuffed them in all at once.

"?!!!"

"Hold it! But absolutely don't eat it!"

After instructing the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, Li Ang was still not at ease, worried that the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang couldn't resist the temptation of high-quality souls and would secretly taste them, so he threatened directly:

"Remember! If even a tiny bit of their souls is missing, I will send you to the Kingdom of Alesund to be purified with your whip!"

"..."

Hmph, if I don't eat, I don't eat! As if I care!

Facing the threat of purification, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, which had just been a little eager to move, became completely honest. After rolling its eyes at Li Ang, it held the souls of the three cleaners and didn't move.

As for the three dead souls that entered the sheep's mouth, relying on the "protection" provided by the Great Demon, they successfully got rid of the harm from the sun and were able to stay in the world of the living safely for the time being. After Li Ang finished his operation, Alger, who saw what he had done, said excitedly:

"They... what are they?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain..."

Peeking at the movement of the Gate of the Dead and finding that no one was chasing, Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then said concisely:

"After I ate the dog guarding death, I inherited a part of its authority and can refuse to let souls enter the Dead World. However, this authority is limited. I must be near the Gate of the Dead for it to take effect.

So I just went to the Dead World and, before the three seniors entered the door, stopped them outside the Gate of the Dead, which counts as temporarily fishing them back."

"Temporarily means?"

"It means they can't stay here forever."

Li Ang said helplessly:

"According to the rules of the world of the living, existence requires both body and soul. Even the holy spirits and true gods who descend must first get themselves a body.

But the bodies of the three seniors have been destroyed. Although I can let them not go to the Dead World, I have no way to keep their souls forever. If it takes too long, there will still be problems.

So we still have to find a way to leave the Kroke Kingdom, or find a way to contact the General Bureau, otherwise the souls of the three seniors will still be excluded by this world."

The problem is that we can't get out now...

After listening to Li Ang's explanation, the excited expression on Alger's face faded slightly, then he gritted his teeth and said:

"How about this, you stay in the Kroke Kingdom, take their souls and Princess Feliya and hide, I'll go and try to see if I can break out!"

"Senior Alger, you'd better not have this thought."

Li Ang shook his head and said:

"I don't know if your existence has been exposed, but I took the lead in hijacking Princess Feliya, so the other party definitely knows about my existence. Since I didn't appear at the Gemini Branch, I must still be in the Kroke Kingdom.

And according to common sense, we should be trying to escape now, so the other party's defense must be extremely strict. The probability of you breaking out safely can be said to be infinitely close to zero." "Then what should we do? Just wait here?"

"It's not just waiting, we can still do something."

After pondering the current situation, Li Ang said thoughtfully:

"In terms of hard strength, Director Edward's side has one Zodiac, one elite first-level, and three senior second-level cleaners, which definitely can't be considered bad. Judging from Nicole's description, they should have been ambushed and lost because of the enemy's darkness and our light and insufficient information. The other party did not show an overwhelming strength advantage.

And now as long as we hide well enough, it's the enemy's light and our darkness. We can take this opportunity to fill in the insufficient information. If the other party's strength is not that strong, it's not impossible to compete with them... Three seniors."

When he said this, Li Ang turned his head to look at the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang and asked the three cleaners in its mouth:

"What exactly happened at the Gemini Branch? Can you tell me as detailed as possible?"

"To be honest, we are not very clear..."

After hearing Li Ang's words, Ruben, whose body had shrunk to the size of a doll, said hesitantly:

"Actually, there is nothing to talk about. It was just a round of high-power artillery fire. Although it was a bit abrupt under the circumstances of being ambushed, it was just a bit of a rush for us, and it would be no problem to deal with it.

But I don't know why, the opponent's artillery fire seemed to be particularly fast. We couldn't react at all, and we didn't even have time to activate the anomalous objects. We only had time to see the wall explode, and then we were blown to death directly."

Particularly fast?

Li Ang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and thought of the words of the female reporter relayed by 【Secret Tail】.

The female reporter didn't seem to have mentioned that the artillery fire was particularly fast. In her version, it was that she didn't know what was going on, but except for her, no one else reacted, so they were hit directly by heavy firepower.

So... is the artillery fire too fast, or have people become slower? Which side is right?

After pondering slightly, Li Ang turned to look at Alger beside him and asked pointedly:

"Senior Alger, can you react to hot weapons fired at close range?"

"No problem."

Alger thought for a while and answered:

"With my reaction speed, if the trigger is pulled in front of me, I only need to dodge the direction of the muzzle. I can dodge it as long as my eyes can see it, even if it's close to my face.

If it's a sneak attack, it's hard to say within two or three meters, but if it's further away, I can definitely dodge it. Even if the speed of artillery ammunition is much faster than small-caliber firearms, it's no problem to activate the anomalous object to save my life if I think about it."

"Then do you mind if I try?"

Li Ang said while taking out a small-caliber nail gun, opened the safety with his thumb, aimed at the ground in front of Alger's feet, and reminded calmly:

"I might fire at the ground at any time. When the time comes, you activate the anomalous object and block the nail..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ang's finger hooked suddenly, and he fired the nail. Alger's eyes froze, his right foot in black leather shoes suddenly scattered, turned into a mass of pitch-black threads, and then...

Perfectly let the nail pass through.

"This..."

Looking at the 【Skin Thread】 that rushed over only after the nail was embedded in the ground, Alger was stunned. Li Ang sighed and gave his judgment.

"Several seniors, it seems that it's not that the artillery fire of the Kroke Kingdom is too fast, but that your reaction has slowed down."
