Chapter 1276

~8 min read 1,484 words

Why on earth did I insist on coming to participate in this assessment?

Watching the "Grim Reaper" in the distance, who was fleeing everywhere while stepping on a death scythe, only to be cut down by Hearing Li Ang with a single blade and sliced into six or seven segments, Abigail, who had slumped to the ground with a pale face, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If I really had to say, it should be because I was a bit unconvinced, right?

Unconvinced as to why those who had participated in the investigation mission in the Kingdom of Krok were all crazily praising this Hearing Li Ang for no reason. Even if his talent was good, he was ultimately just a rookie who had only been a cleanup agent for three months and hadn't experienced many missions in total.

And although I have only been in the Bureau of Cleanup for a few years, before joining the Scorpio Branch, I spent twenty years as a "puppet" in the Immaculate Secret Sect. As a living vessel for the descent of the Holy Spirit, I resisted the will of the Immaculate Holy Spirit for twenty whole years, and finally, with great difficulty, defeated it.

After those twenty years of long torment, I have the confidence to believe that neither my talent nor my will is inferior to anyone else's. Facing an opponent I hadn't even sparred with, only to be directly judged as having no possibility of winning no matter what—how could I be reconciled to that?

But...

Looking around at the assessment venue that had become empty again, and watching the scattered corpse parts that were spread all over the ground in disarray, some of which were still struggling to twist, Abigail, who was holding six severed wings and leaning against a headless dragon corpse, couldn't help but close her eyes in dismay.

Is this gap a bit too large?

In this battle of one versus four hundred and seventeen, the four hundred-plus cleanup agents who were the challengers used at least a thousand attack-type anomalous objects, but not a single one was effective; all were blocked by the opponent without injury.

And the flow of the entire battle was even more "monotonous" to the point of despair. Whether it was those newcomers who had also just joined the Bureau of Cleanup not long ago, or veteran cleanup agents like myself who already had elite-level standards, there was no difference in his hands; it was all a matter of one blade.

Before attacking him, you would absolutely not be attacked, but after attacking him, you would be cut down by his backhand blade. If you tried to continue resisting at such a time, you would be finished off with a few more blades and completely shredded.

This is no longer a question of whether he is holding back or not, but that the other party knew very well from the beginning that people like us and him were simply not on the same level; this person didn't take us seriously at all.

And what is even more despairing than this is that his judgment seems to be truly correct; the four hundred of us combined couldn't even launch an attack sufficient to pose a threat to him... this is truly...

It seems one must listen to advice and not be too stubborn.

Phew... this is the last one.

Amidst the scream of a female cleanup agent from the Libra Branch, after evenly dividing her into left and right halves, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction as he looked at the examination hall where no one else could stand except himself.

"Your Excellency Pisces!"

After wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Hearing Li Ang shouted loudly toward the outside of the dream:

"I have defeated all my opponents; I can continue to the next assessment!"

"..."

"Your Excellency Pisces?"

"..."

"?"

Why has there been no movement? Could something have gone wrong?

After shouting several times in a row without receiving any response, Hearing Li Ang instinctively felt that something was not quite right. He immediately became alert, walked quickly to the edge of the dream assessment field, and tentatively cut it with the 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】.

It didn't budge.

This is trouble...

Reaching out to touch the boundary of the invisible dream and obtaining information about this assessment venue, Hearing Li Ang's brow couldn't help but furrow. Like the painting containing world fragments of Prince Andrei in the Kingdom of Krok before, the essence of the dream world before him was a fragment of the 【Paradise Lost】, the "special weapon" of the Goddess of Entertainment Dreams, possessing a status similar to that of a world fragment.

Even though the Goddess of Entertainment Dreams fell into a deep sleep in a beautiful dream, her 【Paradise Lost】 appeared to be largely shattered, leading to a decrease in its own status, so it didn't need sixty points of infection value to cut through. However, if one wanted to get out of it, one would still need an infection value of fifty-six or fifty-seven.

What should I do?

What's going on? Why is the Director of Pisces silent?

Just as Hearing Li Ang began to ponder a countermeasure, the cleanup agents who had been cut open by him while still alive also vaguely discovered that the situation was not quite right. After calling out a few times and also receiving no response, the expressions of the cleanup agents were suddenly filled with a sense of anxiety.

Judging from the contacts in the previous exams, the Director of Pisces should be a person who follows the "rules" quite well, and his personality is also relatively serious and earnest; it is unlikely that he would play such a boring joke. Therefore, something must have gone wrong outside, causing him to be held up.

And what is even more terrifying than this is that someone dared to attack and harass the Director of Pisces, who has the entire Bureau of Cleanup standing behind him. That means the other party is either strong enough not to fear retaliation, or they are confident that they can deal with the Director of Pisces without the Bureau of Cleanup discovering their identity; they are definitely not someone to be trifled with!

So... the Director of Aquarius? Or other members of the King-Slaughtering Society?

Thinking of these two possibilities immediately, Hearing Li Ang hesitated slightly before making up his mind.

I must get out and take a look!

Since the dream assessment field is still maintained, the Director of Pisces should not have had an accident yet. I feel he should be caught in some trouble, but because the situation is not too critical, he can still be distracted to maintain the dream assessment field to protect me and these cleanup agents who came to participate in the assessment.

And if the Director of Pisces's situation is very urgent and he is truly in danger, only struggling to maintain the dream assessment field, then if I go out now, I can just happen to help him!

"Everyone!"

Immediately undoing the effect of the 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】 and helping the shredded cleanup agents repair their bodies, Hearing Li Ang looked around at the cleanup agents with suspicious and uncertain expressions and asked for help with a sincere look:

"I need your help. Your Excellency Pisces has not responded, and he may have encountered some trouble. I am prepared to force my way out to see if I can help him!"

We help you get out, and then you go help the Director of Pisces?

Facing the request made by Hearing Li Ang, the cleanup agents couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

If it were an ordinary third-level cleanup agent saying this, their first reaction would definitely be that this kid is crazy. In a situation where even a powerhouse at the level of the Twelve Directors is tied up, what can a third-level cleanup agent do?

But the one saying this is not someone else, but Hearing Li Ang, who just completed the miracle of one against four hundred and cut four hundred people, including himself, into more than eight hundred pieces. That makes it seem much more reliable.

"Okay."

After clenching her fists involuntarily, Abigail took a deep breath and was the first to stand out.

"Tell us, how should we help you!"

Fortunately... if she is willing to help, then it is already half a success.

After looking at Abigail with gratitude, Hearing Li Ang said:

"It's very simple. I have an anomalous object that can break the dream, but my inf... Hearing Li Ang value is slightly lacking. As long as a few people with sufficient strength are willing to be eaten by me, it will work!"

"..."
