Chapter 1332: Aftermath

The moon sank and the stars hid; the night ended and the day dawned.

After an incredibly chaotic night, the next day's sun rose as usual. Under the drive of the somewhat lazy sunlight, the river of nightmares that had covered the entire capital finally retreated step by step, albeit reluctantly.

And with the Fallen Soul Black Abyss returning to its place, the millions of souls that had been hung for a whole night finally managed to escape the nightmare and, dragged by the blood-colored long hair, successfully returned to their original bodies.

Finally over...

Using the Black Goat's soul vision to confirm that everyone's souls had "returned to their places," Li Ang could not help but let out a long breath, then sat back on the sofa and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

Even though 【Nightmare is the Deepest Fear in the Night】 could guarantee him infinite energy at night, it could only guarantee that his body wouldn't be tired; it could do nothing about "mental fatigue."

And last night... let's just say it was more than just usually mentally exhausting.

Even excluding the damn Aquarius Director, the General Bureau alone made one feel uneasy. It was supposed to be an ambush, but it dragged on until now with no movement, and none of the three directors could be contacted.

To guard against any potential backup plans of the Slaughter King Society, he had to focus all his attention on the Bureau Chief's side, guarding against potential secondary attacks while helping her share the pressure of dragging souls, living in fear for a whole night.

Fortunately, the Slaughter King Society didn't send any additional personnel, and the second half of the night passed safely. He and the Bureau Chief safely waited for the sun, passed this hurdle without danger, and no other fatal mishaps occurred...

"Li Ang..."

Just as Li Ang, whose body wasn't tired but whose heart was very tired, was leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed to rest, a foot suddenly stretched out from the side and kicked him lightly and weakly.

"Do me a favor..."

The Red-haired Bureau Chief, whose soul had finally returned to her body, lay listlessly on another sofa nearby, begging with a face full of exhaustion:

"I want to have a couple of drinks now... do you have any alcohol on you? Can you give me a few bottles?"

"I do have alcohol, but it's the batch Lord Taurus sent over earlier. Those are alcohol in my mouth, but not in yours."

"Then go downstairs, go to the warehouse and get me two bottles, can you?"

"..."

Honestly... although you are indeed very tired, I really don't want to move either...

Because his nerves had been taut for a whole night, and he had shared a large amount of souls for the Red-haired Bureau Chief later, he really couldn't take it on a mental level. Li Ang, who was usually diligent, was lazy for a rare time, turning his head away and pretending not to hear her request.

"Li Ang... good Li Ang~"

Seeing that Li Ang hadn't responded, the Red-haired Bureau Chief, who was as soft as if she had no bones, struggled to move closer to him, then stretched out her foot and kicked him again.

"Please~ help me get two bottles of wine, okay? I really don't want to move..."

"I don't really want to move either... can't you use your hair to get two bottles up yourself?"

"Moving hair is just as tiring as moving legs... I tossed and turned with you all night, I've been squeezed dry, I really don't have any strength left now..."

What do you mean tossed and turned with you all night... Can you stop saying things that are easily misunderstood? Also, can you stop kicking my pants? Anna just helped me wash these pants yesterday.

Kick, kick.

"Help me, help me~"

"No!"

Kick, kick.

Li Ang, whose soul was exhausted, tried hard to dodge to the other side, then closed his eyes and said unhappily:

"Go yourself! If you have the energy to order me around, you could have already brought the wine up!"

"It's different!""How is it different?"

"It's just different~"

"Tell me how it's different!"

"..."

Seeing that she couldn't order Li Ang around, the Red-haired Bureau Chief seemed to be throwing a tantrum. She didn't continue speaking, just stubbornly stretched out her foot, kicking Li Ang's thigh one by one, hoping to annoy him enough that he would take the initiative to go down and get her wine.

After being kicked several times, Li Ang was indeed annoyed, so he grabbed her ankle and said unhappily:

"Stop kicking! Let me rest for a while, I'll... where are your shoes?"

"I kicked them off just now."

After the five toes hidden in the white thin socks flickered flexibly, the Red-haired Bureau Chief closed her eyes and smiled:

"How about this, if you go get me the wine, I can let you..."

"Stop! Cut it out!"

After stopping her in time based on his understanding of the Red-haired Bureau Chief before she could lose her integrity, Li Ang pushed away her warm feet, struggled to get up and go downstairs, got two bottles of wine from the warehouse, threw them into her arms, and closed his eyes to lie back on the sofa.

However, unfortunately, before he could rest for long, that foot reached out again and pinched his outer thigh with its toes.

"Li Ang~ Li Ang~"

"What is it now?"

"Drink with me?"

Drink... that's fine.

Taking the wine bottle thrown back by the Red-haired Bureau Chief, Li Ang flicked the cork open with his thumb, took a sip with his eyes closed, and asked:

"Bureau Chief, is there still no news from the General Bureau?"

"Hiss... Ha!"

After taking a big gulp of brandy, the Red-haired Bureau Chief, who had quit drinking for many days, sighed with immense satisfaction and nodded:

"There's some news... I just asked Edward. He said that the one currently controlling the Pisces Director's body is Mimi, who sleeps until nine o'clock every day. The Sagittarius Director doesn't know where he ran off to, and no one can be contacted. As for Lord Taurus..."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, then said with a complex expression:

"Because the ascension was forcibly interrupted, her current situation is hard to determine. But looking at the Eleven Ant Nests side, there shouldn't be any danger."

"That's a good thing."

After drinking a sip of rum with molasses, Li Ang said with his eyes closed:

"Although Aquarius succeeded this time, the result of his ascension is that he's left alone in that prison, slowly worn away by time until nothing is left... Just consider him dead!

And sending away an annoying guy while swapping Lord Taurus back, sparing her from enduring thousands of years of loneliness—no matter how you look at it, we've made a huge profit."

"Haha, that's true!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the Red-haired Bureau Chief couldn't help but laugh, then clinked her wine bottle with Li Ang's and said with a sigh:

"Although it might not be very good to think this way, when I discovered that Aquarius had successfully replaced Lord Taurus and become the Palace Keeper for her, I was actually happy in my heart, and even wanted to thank him...

Uh... let's not talk about this for now. Li Ang, can you come over and help me look at my teeth?"

"Ah?"
