Chapter 129: 128 Dungeon

“Li Ang?”

Seeing Li Ang walk out with his belongings after less than ten minutes inside, the female police officer on duty at the door couldn’t help but pause, asking with slight surprise:

“Have you finished asking your questions?”

“Mm.”

Li Ang nodded:

“I didn’t have many questions, so it didn’t take long… By the way, does your director at the Secret Investigation Bureau have any unusual traits?”

Huh? Why ask that suddenly?

After hearing Li Ang’s question, the female officer hesitated slightly, then replied:

“Unusual traits… Does personality count? He doesn’t like taking responsibility, but when it really matters, he’s surprisingly reliable…”

“That’s not what I mean.”

Li Ang shook his head:

“I mean something more specific—like physical abilities far beyond normal humans, or having completed impossible missions.”

“Hmm… I don’t recall anything particularly unusual…”

After thinking for a moment, the female officer shook her head:

“If I have to say something, his hand-to-hand combat is strong—almost as good as mine—and his shooting accuracy is solid, plus he’s exceptionally skilled at apprehensions…”

No.

Hearing this, Li Ang shook his head.

These all sounded like ordinary human capabilities, unrelated to anomalies. The scar-faced brute’s ability was likely not among these.

Hmm… now that I think about it, the Clearance Bureau sits in the corner of the Police Department, just a few buildings away from the Secret Investigation Bureau.

Although our director’s perception ability doesn’t seem strong, if the other party had truly used an anomaly within this range, our director would’ve caught him long ago…

Watching Li Ang frown deeply, clearly lost in thought, the female officer couldn’t help asking curiously:

“What did you say to her inside? Why are you suddenly asking about the director?”

Li Ang hesitated slightly, then spoke outright:

“Because your director is a traitor.”

“….”

“‘Traitor’ might not be precise—he didn’t betray the Secret Investigation Bureau; he infiltrated it from the start as a spy.”

“….”

“Stingy!”

After meeting Li Ang’s cold, serious gaze and remembering how he demanded a private interrogation and refused to let anyone listen, the female officer wrinkled her nose:

“Fine, if you don’t want to say, I won’t press you. Why tease me with that kind of joke?”

“I’m not teasing you. Your director really is a spy.”

“Mm, mm.”

Seeing Li Ang still joking with her, the female officer reluctantly made an exaggerated “Wow, really?” expression, then grumbled:

“Come on, let’s go. Since you’re done, we need to get the ‘return authorization’ for the ‘spy.’ If we wait too long… why are you pulling my arm?!”

Seeing Li Ang gripping her arm, his expression intensely serious, the female officer finally realized—her face changed repeatedly, then filled with shock:

“You… is the director really…?!”

“Mm.”

Nodding to confirm, Li Ang pulled the female officer quickly toward the exit. At the registration desk, he showed her the names listed, then explained what he could—though he couldn’t mention anomalies, so his explanation was weak.

But the female officer had witnessed Li Ang’s “performance” firsthand and knew he possessed monstrous interrogation skills. After much hesitation, she reluctantly accepted his words, murmuring with a complex expression:

“No wonder… no wonder the rebels always seem to have eyes in the sky—these past two years they’ve always avoided our encirclements, and only the director could barely catch their tails… So it was…”

So you’ve all been played for years.

In her mind, Li Ang finished the sentence for her, then warned:

“Keep this to yourself for now. Don’t act rashly. Your director has some… hmm… unusual qualities. Your Secret Investigation Bureau alone can’t handle this. For safety, I’m going back to the Clearance Bureau to summon help. Wait here—”

Seeing the female officer’s hollow, devastated expression—clearly shattered by the revelation—Li Ang paused, then quickly changed his mind:

As he said this, Li Ang paused slightly, noticing the female police officer’s dazed, shattered expression—clearly dealt a heavy blow—and quickly amended his words:

“Forget it, you’d better come with me!”

Having served as a secret police officer for years, fighting rebels who constantly caused chaos, she now discovered her own director was one of them. The shock was too great—her mind had nearly shut down. As Li Ang grabbed her hand, she followed instinctively.

But as the two walked one after the other into the stairwell, climbed several flights, and prepared to leave the dungeon, they both froze in place.

Why? When they opened the stairwell door and stepped out, they didn’t find the bright, spacious main hall of the Secret Investigation Bureau’s first floor. Instead, they faced a dim, narrow corridor.

The registration table stood just a few steps to their right. Li Ang even saw his and the female officer’s signatures, freshly left moments ago.

The table with the registration forms was just a short distance to their right, and Li Ang even spotted the signatures he and the female officer had just left.

Alright. No need to guess anymore. The scar-faced director’s ability was definitely this.

Good, no need to guess anymore—this must be the scar-faced chief's ability.

“This… how is this possible?!”

Li Ang, who now understood what had happened, was pondering how he’d been “exposed.” The female officer, witnessing an anomaly in action for the first time, was utterly stunned.

After rushing into the stairwell with Li Ang’s hand and seeing the registration table again, she was completely baffled.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many identical dungeons?”

“There aren’t many identical dungeons. There’s just one dungeon, infinitely repeated.”

Pointing to the registration table, Li Ang rubbed his temples:

“Before we went up the second time, I folded the bottom-right corner of the form… See? The crease is still there. So this is the same dungeon.”

After stating his preliminary conclusion, Li Ang picked up the registration form and pulled the female officer back into the stairwell.

After descending another level, they faced a table now devoid of the registration form. Li Ang shook his head slightly in disappointment.

“Confirmed. It’s not a dungeon that replicates infinitely. More likely, the upper and lower sections of this single dungeon have been connected. We’ve been trapped by your director.”

“Confirmed—it’s not a dungeon that can infinitely replicate. More likely, the upper and lower levels of the same dungeon have been linked. We’ve been trapped by your director.”

After barely grasping Li Ang’s meaning, the female officer stared in awe:

“So… this is what makes him… special?!”

“So… this is what makes the director… this is his special trait?!”

Without elaborating, Li Ang walked from one end of the dungeon to the other, then re-entered the interrogation room. The female prisoner was gone. Only the two of them remained. He blinked thoughtfully.

Without saying more, Li Ang walked from one end of the dungeon to the other, then re-entered the interrogation room and found the female prisoner gone—only the two of them remained. He blinked thoughtfully.

Pulling the female officer to the wall, Li Ang gripped the Holy Spirit pendant at his chest, drew a deep breath, and summoned an invisible hand that slammed violently into the dungeon wall!

Pulling the female officer against the wall, Li Ang gripped the Holy Spirit pendant at his chest, drew a deep breath, and summoned an invisible great hand to slam it violently against the dungeon’s wall!

With a silent explosion, the wall beside them shattered, bricks and dust spraying everywhere—leaving a massive hole.

Carefully peering through the hole, Li Ang looked outside—but saw no identical dungeon. Only a deep, muddy pit. His furrowed brow finally relaxed.

I thought this was some incredible ability… that’s it?

I thought it was some incredible ability... is this all?
