Chapter 166

165 The trick isn't new, as long as it works

"Kid! Gun!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as Li Ang was using the Black Goat's ability to quickly ask for the intelligence he needed, a blonde guard who had fainted outside the door suddenly pulled out the nail gun at his waist and fired four shots at Li Ang's head, forcibly interrupting his interrogation.

Blonde? Would people from the Laien family also join the rebels?

Relying on the Holy Spirit Pendant's shield to block all four nails, Li Ang frowned as he watched the blonde guard in the distance nimbly change the air canister and raise the gun to shoot at him again. Feeling that something was wrong, he changed the invisible long nail he had prepared to shoot at the opponent's head to strike the nail gun in the blonde guard's hand instead.

"Crack!"

Hearing only a sharp sound of metal breaking, the air canister the blonde guard had just replaced exploded instantly. The rapidly expanding compressed air pushed him directly backward, and he hit the wall behind him head-on.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the nail gun in his hand, whose air passage had been shattered and could no longer be used, the blonde guard couldn't help but curse bitterly. He then threw the nail gun at Li Ang and fell backward with his eyes rolling back.

At the same time, another guard in Li Ang's blind spot suddenly stood up, also pulled out the nail gun at his waist, and fired four more nails at the back of Li Ang's head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Sure enough, that person from the Laien family was just being controlled and was not the main body of another rebel. As for the ability of the other rebel, it should be some method of forcibly controlling other people's actions.

Turning his head after hearing the sound and looking at the nails on the ground and the guard in the distance who was still shooting at him, Li Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his back.

No wonder the mortality rate of cleaners remains high. When facing anomalous objects with all kinds of strange abilities, especially those who control anomalous objects, one truly cannot afford even the slightest negligence!

If he had used a little less brainpower just now and directly killed the blonde guard with the Holy Spirit Pendant, not only would he have mistakenly killed an innocent person being controlled, but once he thought the enemy had been dealt with and put away the shield early to save energy, he would definitely have been shot in the head by this black gun fired from his blind spot!

Damn it! His ability is so annoying!

Watching Li Ang, who didn't pay attention to "his" shooting but stood inside the invisible shield with his brows furrowed, observing the situation around him, the person controlling the blonde guard couldn't help but grit his teeth in secret.

After emptying all the nails in this guard's gun without breaking Li Ang's shield, he had no choice but to change to a new body and continue shooting at Li Ang again from another blind spot.

Later on, even before the previous body had finished pressing the trigger and the nail had left the chamber, he had already switched to a new body to pull out a gun and fire wildly. The bang-bang-bang-bang sound of the gunfire almost directly merged into one.

However, it was a pity that no matter from which position he fired, even those blind spots that were impossible to see, he couldn't break through the invisible "turtle shell" around the target. Hundreds of nails were all blocked without exception, and not a single one entered within half a meter of the target.

How can this be killed?

Watching the "materials" available for "parasitism" in the hall being knocked down one by one by the target, and seeing that the remaining ones were almost all unarmed people, the second rebel couldn't help but put down the nail gun in his hand powerlessly.

No wonder Barton and Samantha fell into his hands one after another. Although this person's ability is simple and crude, it can both attack and defend, and the strength of both offense and defense clearly exceeds the range of ordinary firearms.

If it were a sudden assassination, I could still think of a way to ambush him, but in a situation where the opponent is prepared, my ability is completely countered by him!

Given up? Then it's my turn!

Hearing the gunfire stop, Li Ang looked at the middle-aged guard in the distance who had voluntarily stopped shooting, and then asked with a calm expression:

"Tell me, is your main body nearby?"?!!!

Here it comes! It's that deadly interrogation method!

Upon hearing Li Ang's question, the middle-aged guard...

... couldn't help but be shocked. He then immediately continued to raise his gun to shoot, and switched to another body to continue raising his gun to shoot, trying to use the noisy gunfire to cover up the devilish questioning of the opponent.

However, it was a pity that just with this delay, Li Ang had already successfully obtained the answer he wanted.

"So your main body is nearby too."

Turning his head to look at another guard behind him, destroying the nail gun in his hand, and interrupting the deafening gunfire, the corners of Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He then continued to ask:

"Is your main body in the hall?"

"Not in the hall? Then in the manor? On the outskirts of the manor?"

"Neither? Then in the core building area? Or near the main building? Is it very close to the hall, but not in the hall?"

"If it's near the hall... what does your main body look like? Is it a man? A fat guy? A thin guy? An old man? A young man?"

"..."

Following Li Ang's unhurried questioning, the expression on the face of the person controlled by the second rebel became increasingly terrified.

Even if he switched bodies and didn't move at all, lying on the ground and pretending to faint, Li Ang's questioning only slowed down slightly and still rang out steadily and continuously.

He only felt as if a fierce tiger was tearing apart the package around him layer by layer. Every time the opponent asked a question, the disguise on his body was peeled off lightly, and the protection blocking him from the tiger's mouth would decrease by one layer.

At the beginning, he only heard the sound of the "tiger," but as more and more "protection" was peeled off, he gradually felt the powerful pressure from the tiger's claws.

Slowly, he seemed to have smelled the bloody scent in the opponent's mouth and felt the sharp teeth hanging with shredded meat gently brushing across his goosebump-covered neck, separated only by the last layer of protection as thin as a cicada's wing...

"A young man who is thin and short, outside the hall but very close?"

After summarizing the answers he had obtained, Li Ang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then revealed a look of realization.

"Able to enter the Laien manor without entering the hall... then the identity you are disguised as should be a servant or attendant, right?

I remember when I just got off the carriage earlier, there seemed to be a short attendant responsible for carrying the step stool for getting off the carriage... wouldn't that be you?"

"..."

He knows! He knows who I am!

Seeing that his main body had been exposed, the rebel, tortured almost to madness by the pressure of the noose slowly tightening, finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Devil! You devil!!!"

A fat woman trembling by the door jumped up suddenly, roared at Li Ang with a sobbing voice, and then collapsed to the ground again with a thud.

At the same time, in Li Ang's soul vision, a terrified soul, as if chased by something, scurried out of the hall in a panic, rushed into a body, and then ran wildly toward the outside of the manor!

Never coming again! I'm never coming again!
