Chapter 1459: Time-Difference Wristwatch and Omen of Face-Beating

"Woo woo?!"

Seeing Li Ang appear in front of her, 【Miss Caught-in-the-Act】, whose ears and mouth were blocked, shuddered, then hummed in terror.

"Shh!"

After making a gesture for silence, Li Ang first looked back and found that Veronica hadn't been woken up, then hurriedly put on his coat, actively drilled into the dressing mirror, and entered the room where Lai La was "detained."

"Let's talk somewhere else... why did you suddenly come to the Wang Gong?"

"Woo... woo woo... ha!"

After the Northern specialty animal skin stuffed in her mouth was pulled out, 【Miss Caught-in-the-Act】, who had been untied, let out a long breath, then answered timidly:

"I... I was just passing by..."

"Passing by?"

"I was just being taken by 'Ms. Lisa' through the mirrors, and I couldn't hold it in a bit, so I came out... came out to catch my breath."

Pointing to the golden hair beside Li Ang, signaling him to look at it, 【Miss Caught-in-the-Act】 explained timidly:

"I told the Director about Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya yesterday. The Director seemed surprised after hearing it, so she asked me to come and check on Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya to see... see if there was anything strange about him."

Anything strange?

Li Ang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"The Director suspects Watching Watching Qiaoshuya awakened an anomalous object?"

"I don't know what's going on... but the Director asked me to take this to check."

Reaching into the side pocket of her skirt, 【Miss Caught-in-the-Act】 took out a lady's wristwatch and handed it over. Li Ang, after examining the shape of the watch, curiously touched the crown of this lady's wristwatch.

"Sss~"

【Name: Time-Difference Wristwatch (Detection)】

【Appearance: A lady's wristwatch made by the Time-Precision Company of the Keloque Kingdom. The case is vulcanized white steel, the internal movement is fine-tuned brass, equipped with magnetized soft gold hands and a suede leather strap. The back is engraved with the autograph of Evans Lockda, the founder of the Time-Precision Company.】

【Ability: Time-Difference Detection】

【Cost: None】

【File: As the most outstanding clockmaker in human history, the wristwatches hand-crafted by Master Evans Lockda are not only exquisite and durable, but also extremely precise in timekeeping, claiming an error of less than 0.01 seconds after a hundred years of wear.】

【But as Master Lockda's final work, this lady's wristwatch often has huge errors in timekeeping. The highest recorded timing error appeared on the No. 7 year-counting wheel inside the crown, with a total time difference of as much as 43 years, 9 months, and 6 days.】

【However, facing this wristwatch with an astonishingly large error, Master Lockda expressed great satisfaction. According to records, he once laughed and told his wife that this strange wristwatch with a huge error was his favorite in his life, and nothing could compare to it.】

【Regarding this, Master Lockda's wife expressed extreme anger, directly roaring "Then you can go with your watch!", and then waved a feather duster, driving the stunned Master Lockda out of the house...】

【Evaluation: Time is a river that cannot be stopped. No matter how outstanding a time traveler is, after briefly reaching the past or future, they cannot perfectly return to the original position, and there must be more or less time difference.】

【And when you wear this wristwatch and come into contact with a time traveler, this masterpiece of Master Lockda will accurately read the "error" on the other party and give a specific time difference reading, without any error.】

【Infection Value: 0.1】

... A special wristwatch used to detect time-type anomalous objects... so the Director suspects Watching Watching Qiaoshuya not only awakened an anomalous object, but also a time-type anomalous object?

After reading the description of the 【Time-Difference Wristwatch】, curiosity welled up in Li Ang's heart.

Looking back at the mirror and confirming that Veronica was unlikely to wake up in a short time, Li Ang tidied his coat, then proposed with interest:

"How about I go with you?"

"Huh?"

"Although our relationship is quite average, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya is Veronica's brother after all, and by rounding up, he counts as my relative. There shouldn't be any problem with me, this relative, going to take a look, right?"

"No... no problem!"

For this kind senior who brought her into the Virgin Branch Bureau, Miss Caught-in-the-Act still respected... or rather, feared him. After hearing Li Ang's request to "watch from the sidelines," she immediately agreed.

And following a bark from "Ms. Lisa," Li Ang and the dog were directly sucked into the glass, jumping and shifting within the glass windows throughout the Wang Gong.

Relying on the convenience of the interconnected Mirror World, in less than twenty seconds, the two people and one dog crossed more than half of the Wang Gong building complex and found Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who was half-house-arrested in the manor.

Even though Veronica, out of blood kinship, didn't retaliate against the old King and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's mother, completely losing the right to inherit the throne was still a huge blow to Watching Watching Qiaoshuya...

Tsk, didn't hit him enough.

Looking at the human-shaped punching bag in the center of Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's bedroom that looked 80% like him, the corners of Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his right hand felt a bit itchy after a long time.

And the freckled prince in the room didn't know that two people had already snuck into his room; having walked back to the bedroom from the balcony, he habitually spat at the Li Ang punching bag in the center of the room, then raised his hand and slapped his own face hard.

???

I haven't even hit you yet, why are you hitting yourself? Could it be that spitting on my target gave you a sense of guilt?

Just as Li Ang was looking on in confusion, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who was slapping himself, had his eyes lose focus for a moment, and at the same time, the hands of the 【Time-Difference Wristwatch】 worn on Miss Caught-in-the-Act's wrist jumped rapidly toward the future time.

This is it! This is it!

Sensing the unusual movement of the 【Time-Difference Wristwatch】, Miss Caught-in-the-Act felt a surge of joy in her heart, then hurriedly tapped Li Ang's arm, signaling him to look at the hands on her watch that were starting to show errors.

Under her reminder, Li Ang, who noticed the abnormal reading, looked at Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's right cheek in surprise, and at the same time, the freckled prince, whose eyes had regained clarity, suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Ang, who was staring intently at him from the mirror cabinet.

"You?!"

"Good morning."

After showing a gentle smile to his brother-in-law, Li Ang stepped out of the mirror cabinet, grabbed him by the back of the neck, pulled Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who wanted to run away, back, and gave him a light slap.

"Slap!"

"Buzz..."

【Name: Omen of the Slapped Face (Observation, Damage Immunity)】

【Appearance: Left cheek of Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, former prince of the Thrush Kingdom】
