Chapter 1652
"What did you say?"
Looking at Li Ang, who had a look of bad luck before him, the red-haired Director was silent for a while, then said with an exceptionally strained expression:
"I only left for ten minutes, just long enough to send Little Vernon and the others to rest, and you made Ophiuchus disappear?"
"It's not completely gone..."
Feeling the Crimson Heart, which was huddled in his heart and refused to come out no matter what, Li Ang explained with a hint of guilt:
"Director Ophiuchus was just absorbed by the Crimson Heart and incarnated into my heart, and he can't come out for the time being. But he is safe, and because he received double strengthening from me and the Crimson Heart, the progress of the bloodline exchange ritual has accelerated several times... if you don't believe me, look at my hair."
"..."
It really has changed quite a bit...
Looking at Li Ang's hair, more than half of which had changed color, with nearly 60% already white, the red-haired Director couldn't help but nod, then couldn't help but ask with a look of confusion:
"So what exactly did you two do? How could he be swallowed by the Crimson Heart? And why can't you get the Crimson Heart out?"
"This... actually, I'm not very clear either, but it's likely related to the connection between the Crimson Heart and the Crimson Blood."
Li Ang said sheepishly:
"Director Ophiuchus had already completely merged with the Crimson Blood in the past, and the Crimson Blood in the Bureau is basically extracted from the Crimson Heart. So theoretically speaking, he and the Crimson Heart are now of the same root and origin and can basically be considered one body.
And in order to show me how to merge with those Anomalous Objects stronger than himself, he actively merged with the Crimson Blood in front of me, and I just happened to apply the Ophiuchus secret technique to the Crimson Heart..."
"So he was regarded as part of the Crimson Heart and was incarnated into your heart together?"
"That should be it..."
"..."
Standing in place and silent for a while, the red-haired Director couldn't help but close her eyes speechlessly, having roughly guessed the cause and effect of the Ophiuchus disappearance incident.
It was nothing more than Li Ang learning the secret technique too quickly, and then Ophiuchus's fatal self-esteem being frustrated, so he chose the most difficult technique to master, wanting to make things difficult for Li Ang.
As a result, Li Ang's talent in secret techniques was higher than he had imagined, and he easily subdued the Crimson Heart, which was being used as a "teaching aid," and "incarnated" the unlucky him along with it.
This is truly... you were just teaching a secret technique, and you managed to teach yourself out of existence? Could you die if you didn't move your crooked brain so much?
"Fine..."
Already accustomed to her old friend's unreliability, the red-haired Director sighed gloomily and said helplessly:
"Then when can you let him out?"
"This is the part I'm not very clear about..."
Li Ang shook his head and answered with a look of helplessness:
"I've only learned the Ophiuchus secret technique for a few minutes, so I don't know that much about it... actually, before you came back, I had already tried several times, but I could only let Ophiuchus come out to say a few words. This secret technique, on the other hand, just won't be canceled no matter what."
The secret technique can't be canceled? How is that possible?
The red-haired Director frowned upon hearing this, then said with a look of confusion:
"The core of the Ophiuchus secret technique is to keep yourself in sync with the Anomalous Object and maintain a state of not being rejected. Once you stop casting it, the Anomalous Object you merged with should naturally reject you and push you out directly, right?"
"Er... then I probably understand what's going on..."
After listening to the red-haired Director's words, Li Ang couldn't help but blink, then said with a hint of embarrassment:
"The way I merged with the Anomalous Object might be slightly different from the version Director Ophiuchus taught..."
"?"
"It's just... he treats the Anomalous Object as a god and himself as a believer, infecting the Anomalous Object through infatuation, worship, and belief, while my method is slightly more violent."
"Violent?" "To be specific, it's stabbing with a knife."
"??"
Li Ang smiled awkwardly. Under the red-haired Director's slightly stunned expression, he explained with a hint of embarrassment:
"When Taurus took me to the secret vault, I actually didn't obtain the Crimson Heart's approval, and I even had a fight with it. And at that time, I was worried about your situation here, and the Crimson Heart spoke too harshly, so I couldn't help but take action and stabbed it a few times..."
"A few times?"
"About three hundred times..."
"..."
I understand... the Crimson Heart isn't that it doesn't reject you, it's that it was stabbed from a Crimson Heart into a Crimson Sieve, so it doesn't dare to reject you at all, right?
After listening to Li Ang's bizarre operation, which was no less outrageous, the red-haired Director felt a bit numb. She couldn't help but reach out to rub her eyebrows, asking with a headache:
"You can let Ophiuchus come out to say a few words, right? Then what does Ophiuchus himself say?"
"He said..."
"How the hell did you do it?!"
Just as Li Ang was preparing to relay the message, Director Ophiuchus's voice suddenly emerged from his heart, asking with shock:
"This is the heart of a Pillar God! The Bureau hasn't been able to destroy it for so many years, and you were actually able to kill it fifteen times in one minute?"
"Er... I didn't really kill it."
!
Under the red-haired Director's surprised gaze, Li Ang said:
"Didn't the Bureau take down the Dead Realm? I killed quite a few Lords of the Dead Realm and shared half of the Death Authority with Auntie Ai Ma. I can drag the people I finish off into the End of Death... that is, the big lake under the Cliff of Finality."
After gesturing, Li Ang continued to explain:
"That place represents the most essential end and is the most essential incarnation of the Death Authority. Its status is basically equivalent to the truth of a Pillar God... The Crimson Heart refused to submit before and even opened its mouth to scold me, so I couldn't help but drag it down to the lake to soak a few times."
"..."
"Enough, never mind how he did it for now."
Feeling the "sincere" fear emanating from Li Ang's heart, the red-haired Director pursued with a cold face:
"You understand the Ophiuchus secret technique better than Li Ang; do you know when you can come out?"
"Hard to say..."
Li Ang's "heart" jumped rapidly upon hearing this, then answered helplessly:
"The stone tablet in the Ophiuchus Palace that records the 【Anomalous Incarnation】 secret technique only taught me how to merge with an Anomalous Object, not how to separate from one... mainly because this thing doesn't need to be taught! Anomalous Objects are too busy rejecting people; when would they ever rush to merge with humans?"
"Then can you still come out?"
"Yes... but it's hard to say when exactly."
Director Ophiuchus thought for a moment, then answered uncertainly:
"The Crimson Heart has a certain self-consciousness. As long as you make it hostile to the Food God from the bottom of its heart, make it loathe him, reject him, and even start to resist him, you can naturally lift this state."
"Then make the Crimson Heart resist!"
"The problem is it doesn't dare to!"
