Chapter 1647: Truth or Lie

The only chance... it seems that is indeed the case.

After going over it again in his mind, Hearing Li Ang had to admit that he really hadn't thought of a way to solve this problem. The Origin God Platform was simply too special; no matter what one did, one couldn't bypass it. It really seemed like this was the only path left.

After looking at the red-haired Director again, Hearing Li Ang didn't try to persuade her anymore. After all, with the Director's personality, persuasion was useless. Even if she agreed with a smile, she would still do exactly as she intended the moment she turned around.

And the only way to stop her right now...

Through the 【Soft Rice Badge】 he was maintaining, after looking at the Ophiuchus Director who had merged with the Lumen Church, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but subconsciously grit his teeth, and a thought emerged in his eyes...

"Hearing Li Ang."

"I was just thinking about it."

Knowing that his thoughts couldn't be hidden from the red-haired Director, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but close his eyes, then released Queen Lai La's waist and silently interrupted the effect of the 【Soft Rice Badge】.

*Huu... *

Watching Hearing Li Ang voluntarily give up his final trump card and release the suppression on the Ophiuchus Director, the red-haired Director couldn't help but let out a long breath, then gazed into Hearing Li Ang's eyes and said softly:

"Thank you."

"..."

Thank me for what? Thank me for not interfering with your plan and watching you go to the Origin God Platform to die?

"Thank you for respecting my choice."

"..."

Having become accustomed to the red-haired Director's occasional "mind-reading," Hearing Li Ang, whose thoughts had been guessed, didn't respond. Instead, he pulled over a chair and sat beside the red-haired Director, then said expressionlessly:

"I won't stop you, but your plan must include me."

"Fine."

Understanding that he was the type who wouldn't give up until the very last moment and would definitely try a few more times, the red-haired Director nodded and agreed, then said with a serious expression:

"But you must also promise me..."

"If you don't find a better way than my plan, you won't interfere with my plan... can you do that?"

"Yes!"

Looking at Hearing Li Ang, who had made the promise, the red-haired Director, who had completely let go of her worries, nodded, then leaned back on the chair and stretched, sighing with a hint of exhaustion:

"It's really not easy... you are much harder to deal with than I thought. Fortunately, I tore down the Deep Sanctuary back then and caused a huge disaster, which earned me equal luck; otherwise, I might have really fallen into your hands this time."

You have the nerve to say that...

Recalling the sky full of flying "ash" back then, Hearing Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, then he took the initiative to change the subject:

"What about the Ophiuchus Director? Does he know your plan?"

"He knows."

After smiling at Hearing Li Ang, the red-haired Director answered:

"His initial plan was to have me stand on his side, help him drain all the 【Justice】 bloodline, weaken the Watchtower Palace that caused Cleanup Agents to become worse with each generation, and then try to use his set of ideas to transform the world, but now..."

"Too stupid."

Unable to help interrupting the red-haired Director, Hearing Li Ang frowned:

"Not to mention whether his philosophy is correct or not, his life is still in the hands of the King-Slaying Society. And once a conflict arises in the future, he... *uh*..."

When he said this, he seemed to suddenly understand something. Hearing Li Ang interrupted his own evaluation and looked at the red-haired Director beside him with surprise.

"It is indeed as you thought."

After nodding slightly, the red-haired Director said with a hint of emotion:

"That idiot's plan is to have me take over the complete 【Crimson Blood】 after resurrecting the citizens of the East Calewin Kingdom, and have me complete his dreams in his stead."

"..." And then he gets killed by the King-Slaying Society himself? So the Ophiuchus Director wasn't planning on living either?

After pondering the Ophiuchus Director's plan, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but sigh.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say what I just said..."

Ophiuchus Director... although he is a bit stupid, he has the courage to die for his ideals. Such a person, even if a bit stupid, is still worthy of being the bloodline of the East Calewin Kingdom. He indeed has the heroism worthy of the authority flowing in his blood... it's just that he's a bit stupid.

After looking up to the Ophiuchus Director a little more, Hearing Li Ang shook his head slightly:

"Although I don't think highly of his plan, I admit he is not as... *uh*... I thought you two were mortal enemies before I came here. No wonder he was able to 'persuade' you."

"Yes."

After sniffing the wine fragrance emanating from Hearing Li Ang, the red-haired Director, whose eyes were flickering, nodded:

"When I first came over, I was actually planning to kill him, until he insisted that I join, stating that only I could take over the 【Crimson Blood】 and complete his unfinished ideals after his death. I didn't make a move directly, but instead planned to bring him to see you."

"I see..."

Having thoroughly understood the cause and effect, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but nod along, then continued to ask:

!

"Then what about now? What is his plan now?"

"He hasn't said yet."

Her nose wrinkled slightly, and after secretly taking a deep breath of the intoxicating wine fragrance around her, the red-haired Director smiled:

"However, although he doesn't admit it with his mouth, I can see it clearly, and the ointment of the Deep Sanctuary certainly won't lie.

After being fished out of the Deep Sanctuary by me, he had already been persuaded by you, acknowledged you from his heart, and was prepared to entrust his ideals to you, but he's just still being stubborn."

"So... he is now prepared to cooperate with you and complete your plan?"

"Yes."

After secretly moving her chair closer to Hearing Li Ang, the red-haired Director answered while sniffing:

"After fishing the Ophiuchus Director out of the Deep Sanctuary, I told him my plan. Although his expression was very ugly, he didn't oppose it."

"..."

So... if your plan succeeds, then not only will you die in the Origin God Platform, but he will also be killed by the King-Slaying Society, who will discover something is wrong when the Watchtower Palace recovers. This plan actually requires the two of you to trade your lives?

After realizing this, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but close his eyes and lean back on the chair.

The reason why the East Calewin Kingdom fell back then seems to be precisely because of the two of them.

And now, the Ophiuchus Director, who single-handedly created the Ophiuchus Kingdom-Erosion Incident and led to the destruction of the East Calewin Kingdom, and the Director, who personally destroyed the East Calewin Kingdom, are preparing to sacrifice their own lives to trade back the East Calewin Kingdom they destroyed. Thinking about it carefully, this is really... *uh*?

Hearing Li Ang, who noticed something was wrong, opened his eyes suddenly, then discovered that the red-haired Director had moved to his side at some point, her two eyes staring unblinkingly at his mouth.

"You smell so good..."

"?!!!"

"Uh... what I mean is, when you said you felt sorry for me just now, and when you asked me to wait for you, you were really charming, even making my heart beat a little, so..."

Taking a deep breath of the faint wine fragrance that permeated from Hearing Li Ang's bottle... from his person, the red-haired Director's throat couldn't help but move slightly, then she blinked her eyes and asked affectionately:

"Can I have a bite?"
