Chapter 1689: Combo Skill and Old Truth

"I... I I..."

Looking at the two people stacked together in an inappropriate posture, the crashing lady hurriedly covered her face with her hands and stammered:

"I am not... I thought you..."

"Fine, no need to say, I understand."

After sighing slightly, Li Ang hugged Veronica, who was already stunned, back to her original position, and then said with difficulty:

"You two are 【Crashing Lady】 and 【Good Things Are Hard】, and together they can be considered a combo skill of anomalous objects. It would be strange if you weren't here at this time... tell me, what happened again?"

"Director, the Director asked me to come!"

Seeing that Li Ang didn't intend to pursue her, the crashing lady breathed a sigh of relief and explained hurriedly:

"I just finished cleaning up the office and was about to sleep when the Director knocked on the door and asked me to find you, saying that the general headquarters received very important intelligence and asked you to go to a meeting immediately."

Very important intelligence?

Li Ang was slightly stunned, then frowned:

"What intelligence? How important is it?"

"This... the Director didn't tell me..."

The crashing lady shook her head:

"The Director said that this matter has almost reached the highest level of confidentiality and cannot tell me the specific content, only asking you to go to the headquarters for a meeting immediately... Oh right."

At this point, the crashing lady seemed to have remembered something, lowered her head, and said with a blushing face:

"The Director also said that although this matter is particularly urgent, it cannot be solved immediately... so if... if you are... hmm... busy, you don't have to go to the headquarters in person, just project your consciousness to the Taurus Palace."

"Okay... sorry to trouble you in the middle of the night..."

"No, no, no trouble."

After conveying the red-haired Director's words, the crashing lady's shoulders relaxed visibly, and she rode her dog and disappeared into the window, and after she disappeared, Veronica, who had reacted, couldn't help but look at Li Ang, her expression very difficult:

"She is..."

"She is my colleague. Her anomalous object is 【Crashing Lady】. Once something 'big' happens around, or some private behavior that you don't want others to discover, it will definitely be crashed by her."

After explaining the crashing lady's ability, Li Ang sighed:

"However, I just found out that not only her anomalous object, but your 【Good Things Are Hard】 probably also has to share some of the blame. Basically, as long as you want to... hmm... your abilities will start to cooperate, and she will be summoned directly... forget it, let's not talk about this."

After closing his eyes and feeling the situation of the Taurus Star Palace, finding that it was indeed in an open state, and Director Taurus and Director Cancer were already in place, Li Ang said apologetically:

"Sorry... I finally got a few days of rest, I wanted to accompany you well, but the Director is so anxious, I am afraid that something big really happened, I am afraid I have to go and take a look first."

"It doesn't matter, I can understand."

Although her eyes were almost written with "I don't understand," Queen Veronica still nodded slightly and responded softly:

"It's not your problem, I'm always busy too... Go quickly, what you have to do is more important than my side."

"Mm."

Finding that with the opening of the Taurus Star Palace, more consciousness was surging toward the headquarters, Li Ang didn't say anything more, but closed his eyes, emptied his brain, and with the help of the connection between the twelve star palaces, projected most of his consciousness over.

"Sorry..."

Looking at the Li Ang phantom taking shape opposite the table, Director Taurus said with shame:

"You finally got a few days of rest, I actually don't want to disturb you, but this matter is really too important, and with the situation of me and Cancer... sigh..."

"You are too polite."

After waving his hand to indicate that it didn't matter, Li Ang asked with some confusion:

"What happened to the Bureau? Why are you so anxious to find me?"

"It's not that something happened to the Bureau, it's that something happened to the Old Earth."

Director Cancer, who looked tired, took over the conversation, his expression a bit complicated:

"The Director and Director Aries killed the past Crimson Master again and snatched back a large piece of 【Lifespan】 fragment from its hands, enough for everyone in the mortal world to live for more than forty years, pulling the human lifespan limit to two hundred years."

"?!!!"

After hearing Director Cancer's words, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and then he said with surprise:

"This is a great thing!"

"It's a great thing, of course... but the problem is also very big."

Director Taurus smiled bitterly after hearing this:

"Director Virgo and Director Scorpio have already rushed back with that 【Lifespan】 fragment, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Heaven Mountain within half a month, but the Blue King and the Red King... that is, the newly born Ten Thousand Things Cicada and the Crimson Master, also chased back from the Old Earth."

"Li Ang, you know the situation of the Bureau now. If it were just two ordinary Pillar Gods, we could still resist, but facing opponents at the level of the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, I am afraid we can't keep this fragment."

"Not necessarily."

Li Ang thought for a while and said:

"I, Director Ophiuchus, Branch Director Olivia, and Branch Director Beverly of the Leo Branch can all exert strength close to ordinary Pillar Gods without the blessing of the mortal star palace. And Director Capricorn and the six Zodiac Branch Directors happen to be stranded on Heaven Mountain.

The ten of us, plus Director Scorpio and Director Virgo who rushed back from the Old Earth, even if we face two Supreme Four Pillar Gods at once, I feel we should be able to fight."

"This is the second problem."

Director Cancer's face was not very good:

"Aquarius, we are currently blocked by the Old King and are temporarily unable to leave the mortal world."

"???"

"Simply put, the Old King used his truth to form a thin shell outside the mortal world, wrapping the entire mortal world, completely isolating all channels from reality to the outside."

While speaking, Director Cancer raised his hand and created a phantom on the table. A pitch-black building hung outside the protection of the Watch Palace, condensing an extremely vast shell, completely isolating all channels from reality to the outside.

"The True Gods you caught confessed that this thing is called 【Yesterday's Residence】, which is the palace left by the Old King in the Source God Terrace."

After pointing to the pitch-black building, Director Cancer explained with a frown:

"Me and Taurus studied it and found that this thing has a full 24-hour error with us on the time level and cannot be touched at all. And any human who wants to leave through this shell will have their time forcibly rolled back by 24 hours, returning to the state before departure."

"To put it simply, the King of the Old Days used its truth to form a thin shell outside the present world, wrapping the entire present world within it."

As the Cancer Director spoke, he raised his hand to create an illusion on the table; a pitch-black building hung high above the protection of the Watchtower Palace, condensing an incomparably vast shell that completely cut off all outward channels from reality.

"The True Gods you captured confessed that this thing is called the 【Residence of Yesterday】, which is the palace the King of the Old Days left behind in the Source God Platform."

After pointing his finger at the pitch-black building, the Cancer Director explained with a deep frown:

"Taurus and I studied it and discovered that on the level of time, it has a full 24-hour discrepancy with us, making it impossible to touch. Any human who wants to leave through this shell will have their time forcibly rolled back by 24 hours, returning them to the state they were in before they set out."
