Chapter 17: 17 Indeed Should Be Stewed

17 Indeed Should Be Stewed

You damn well are just asking to be stewed!

Using all his strength to tightly clamp Hearing Heishanyang's mouth and force its full-mouthed lewd talk back, Li Ang looked up at the still smiling red-haired woman and scratched the back of his head awkwardly:

"That... Director, my sister was quite frightened yesterday and is still lying in the hospital. If there's nothing else, can I take a leave?"

"Hmm, go ahead! After completing such a dangerous cleaning mission, you should indeed take a rest."

Smiling and approving Li Ang's leave, after he left while clutching the struggling sheep head, the slight smile on the red-haired woman's face vanished. Then, she crossed her fingers and leaned back in her chair, looking thoughtfully at the old ceiling.

Something is not right...

Before, she had clearly blocked Li Ang's memory, making him temporarily forget the work content of the Cleaning Bureau. So after his badge gave a warning, why did he know to come to the Cleaning Bureau for help?

Also, just now she deliberately released a bit of charm, and Li Ang's appearance indeed showed he was moved, but why was his performance this time very normal, as if he hadn't lost any memory?

Thinking of this, the red-haired woman's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly, recalling a small detail she had previously ignored.

When this little guy ran over yesterday afternoon wanting to join the Cleaning Bureau based on his own 'abnormality', he didn't immediately state his ability but hesitated for a moment before saying his ability was forced information acquisition...

"Heh, interesting."

With a slight curl of her lips, the red-haired woman reached out to pick up the quill in the ink bottle, then pulled open the drawer to take out Li Ang's file, found the 【Information Acquisition】 under the ability column, and drew a small question mark on it.

Cautious little guy~ what secrets are hidden in your heart?

【Encountered an incomprehensible special existence, the heterochromatic badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated, your cognitive boundary has expanded, and you have obtained partial information about this existence】

【Name: Love Without Memory (Forgetfulness, Whispers)】

【Appearance: Intangible】

【Ability: When someone develops 'love' such as liking, doting, or reverence for the host, the host of this abnormal object will gain memory-blocking ability, which can temporarily shield a short segment of memory generated by the other party in the short term】

【Cost: Among the three supreme loves of parental love, filial love, and romantic love, one will never be obtained. If someone develops the corresponding supreme love for the host of this abnormal object, they will immediately lose all memory related to this love】

【File: This abnormal object is held by Olivia, the supervisor of the Sixth Branch of the Cleaning Bureau. She has no parents, no lover, and no children, so it is impossible to judge which supreme love she has lost.

In addition, the last recorded use of this abnormal object was during the Red Moon Descent incident in 1794.

Olivia, the supervisor of the Sixth Branch, disguised herself as a singer and used public broadcasts to play songs on a large scale, deceiving a large number of moon people into liking her, blocking the memories of over seventy thousand people in one go, and thereby thoroughly frustrating the moon people's descent plan】

【Evaluation: An extremely powerful ability, but the cost that needs to be paid is also quite heavy】

【Infection Value: 7】

【Through your own observation and induction, you have obtained a large amount of information about "Love Without Memory", and the heterochromatic badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated.

Because you understand the rules of "Love Without Memory", your resistance to this abnormal object has greatly increased, and you are already able to block general levels of influence】

So that's how it is...

Looking at the new abnormal object information that popped up when the red-haired woman held his right hand, Li Ang, standing at the door of the Director's office, couldn't help but nod in realization.

No wonder he forgot the work content of the Cleaning Bureau;

it turned out his relevant memories had been temporarily blocked.

According to the 'rules' told to him by Hearing Heishanyang, the more 'truth' one knows, the easier it is for abnormalities to come knocking. The Director temporarily blocking these memories should be out of concern that he would encounter danger when he didn't have the ability to protect himself.

But the degree to which he was 'moved' at the time wasn't high, and the influence received was very small. Plus, the badge heated up to warn him later, allowing him to get a disguised 'reminder' from the out-of-control infected person, which broke the blockade and allowed him to recover his memory.

But this kind of thing could actually have been told to him directly; why did she have to...

"Li Ang?"

A soft call came, interrupting Li Ang's train of thought. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to feel his eyes being fiercely dazzled. A tall beauty wearing a beige skirt suit was standing at the other end of the corridor, smiling gently at him.

Unlike the pretty and dangerous red-haired Director, the beauty of the tall woman was a kind of beauty with almost no aggression. Although her figure was slender and delicate, it was not lacking in the unique, full-bodied posture of a woman.

With skin so fair it seemed to be infused with jade, paired with soft and exquisite facial features, a wonderful temperament of sweetness and serenity emerged, making one want to get close to her from the bottom of their heart...

"Thank you for yesterday."

The gentle-tempered woman seemed very familiar with Li Ang. After greeting him, she walked over lightly while holding a folder in her arms, stood in front of him, and asked with a smile:

"Has the Director finished talking to you? I want to hand in the report for another solo mission; is it convenient to go in now?"

"..."

Yesterday's matter, solo mission, and you know me... could it be that you are that bandage... ah no! You are Auntie Ai Ma?!

The reliable senior who wore a bird-beak mask and was wrapped in bandages yesterday was so different in image from this gentle-eyed tall beauty that Li Ang didn't react for a moment. After a pause, he hurriedly stepped aside from the doorway and said with some embarrassment:

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient! The Director and I have just finished talking; sorry for blocking you."

"It's okay."

After changing her attire, Auntie Ai Ma, whose beauty had exploded in level, smiled, and then said with some embarrassment:

"Um, I have to go on another mission in a few days. After I come back, can I ask you for a favor?

Don't worry, I can guarantee that you definitely won't be in danger at that time, it's just that it might be a bit tiring..."

"No problem, no problem!"

Hearing this, Li Ang immediately turned stern and promised earnestly:

"You risked such great danger to rescue my sister yesterday, so no matter how tiring or hard it is, I will definitely go all out when the time comes!"

"Heh, then I'll thank you in advance!"

With the corners of her moist, delicate lips curling slightly, after smiling at Li Ang again, Bandage Woman... Auntie Ai Ma pushed open the door and walked into the Director's office.

Watching her graceful figure disappear inside the door, Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue in secret.

Good heavens... if it weren't for the same voice, I wouldn't have dared to recognize her! The difference is too big! If...

"If the bedbugs on my bed were as beautiful as her, I wouldn't even grunt even if they bit me to death... Kid, is that what you're thinking?"

"..."

After receiving Li Ang's speechless gaze, Hearing Heishanyang curled its lips and sneered:

"Heh, we advise you to stop being horny; she already has children who are several years old! You have no chance~ better give up early!"

(ーー゛)

What chance or no chance... I was just shocked by the huge contrast compared to yesterday and couldn't recognize her for a moment, okay? Why do you always think in that direction?

Also, with that annoying mouth of yours, how have you lived until now without being beaten to death? Is it because the soup you stew tastes good? ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
