Chapter 204: 203 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part 2-2)

203 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part 2-2)

"..."

After hearing the answer Li Ang gave, although no one spoke in the surrounding area, the tense atmosphere just now suddenly relaxed.

As for the middle-aged man who had already started to suspect Li Ang's identity, even though the doubts in his eyes still hadn't dissipated, his expression softened a bit, and he said with a smile:

"The answer is correct... Little Bajinsi, I hope you won't blame me for being overly suspicious. After all, I am the leader and have to be responsible for the safety of so many people.

And you were just an ordinary person yesterday. You only blew in the night wind for a night, and you suddenly awakened an anomalous ability. This change was truly too fast, so just in case, the necessary tests still cannot be skipped."

"You are right."

Knowing that there was no way to be serious with the middle-aged man about this kind of thing, Li Ang nodded perfunctorily and calmly, then acted as if nothing had just happened and asked directly:

"Leader, just as you said, until yesterday I was only an ordinary member and wasn't familiar with everyone. Could you please introduce them?"

"Of course I can."

The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at the scarred man beside Li Ang, and said at an unhurried pace:

"Sitting beside you is Taige, you already count as knowing each other. Next is Luke, Oliver, Phoebe, and Lucy..."

After simply reporting everyone's names and completing a crude introduction that couldn't be cruder, the middle-aged man said with a smile:

"As for everyone's abilities and other situations, it's too troublesome to introduce them one by one. Plus, there are very important things that need to be discussed later, so let's skip it for now. You can find them later to learn more."

"..."

And learn more later...

Most of these people don't seem to be in the valley and have other hidden identities. Where am I supposed to learn more? So after this whole introduction, all I got were some names that I don't know are true or false?

In Li Ang's quite speechless gaze, the middle-aged man switched targets and introduced to everyone:

"Everyone, this is Little Bajinsi. He was originally responsible for material procurement in the organization, but he awakened an anomalous ability yesterday, so he has become one of us...

By the way, Little Bajinsi, what is your ability like? Is it convenient to talk about it?"

So I went through so much trouble to sneak in, not only did I not get any intelligence, but I have to be probed for intelligence first?

Looking at the middle-aged man who was clearly already guarding against him, Li Ang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then, amidst the curious gazes of a group of rebels, nodded and exposed himself:

"Of course it's convenient. My ability is actually very simple to talk about. As long as the conditions are met, I can make anyone bow to me."

Make anyone bow to you? What kind of hellish ability is this?

Hearing Li Ang's words, everyone, including the middle-aged man who intended to probe, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After waiting for a while without hearing the rest, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask:

"And then?"

"That's it."

Li Ang shook his head slightly and said with a look of honesty:

"Just this... or at least this is what I've discovered so far."

"..."

This...

Looking at "Little Bajinsi," who had an honest expression, and confirming that he wasn't joking with everyone, the group of rebels in the room couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Your ability... is actually quite special..."

After looking at "Little Bajinsi" with suspicion, the middle-aged man pondered slightly, then continued to ask:

"So how long can your ability last? How far away can it take effect? How long is the interval each time?"

Ah, right! And these!

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the group of rebels in the room, who had been extremely disappointed, suddenly regained interest.

Forcing others to bow, although it sounded very trashy, if it could take effect directly from a few kilometers away, or

make others bow continuously, then it wasn't completely useless.

As long as the conditions were suitable and it was used properly, this seemingly useless anomalous object might also have miraculous effects at critical moments!

"As for the duration..."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the group of rebels, Li Ang pondered for a moment and answered:

"It lasts about that long, one bow, and it ends after the bow."

"..."

"As for the distance, it must be face-to-face. It's about a bit bigger than this room. It's useless if it's any further."

"..."

"There's no interval, but the ability takes effect by convincing the other party with language. As long as you can stop me from finishing my sentence, you don't have to bow to me."

"..."

Then you... are really quite useless...

Although they were mentally prepared, after hearing this ability, which couldn't be said to be useless but could only be said to be trashy to the extreme, the expressions of the group of rebels still couldn't help but reveal extreme speechlessness.

To be honest, the effect of Little Bajinsi's trashy ability felt less useful than a nail gun.

Not only could it only be used face-to-face, but the effect was only one bow. If you have the time for this, you might as well take out a gun and shoot him directly, wouldn't that be faster?

Also... what do you mean by convincing the other party with language?

"It means exactly what it says."

After the middle-aged man asked this question on behalf of the group of rebels in the room, Li Ang "honestly" bluffed:

"For example, if I want everyone to bow to me, I must first find a way to convince you, make you agree with my point of view from the bottom of your heart, and then you will enter the range of my ability and bow to me according to my requirements."

"..."

Ah this... this... are you serious?

After hearing this outrageous condition for activation, even the scarred man, who had always believed that Li Ang "wasn't simple," couldn't hold it together.

To be honest, only being able to make people bow face-to-face was already trashy enough, but you actually have to convince the other party first to make them bow to you? You... are you sure this thing can be called an anomalous ability?

"You aren't bluffing, are you?"

After reaching out and rubbing his bald head, the relatively straightforward bald woman took the lead and stood up, questioning with disbelief:

"The effect is weak as hell, and the restrictions are so big? You have to convince the other party first? Can you even call this an anomalous ability? I could hold a nail gun to someone's head and force them to bow to me faster than you!"

"Maybe... the effect is a bit useless, but I can guarantee that the manifestation of this ability is definitely not something that can be achieved by normal means. It's definitely a kind of anomalous ability. If you don't believe it..."

After blinking his eyes with some difficulty, Li Ang suggested:

"Shall we try it out?"

"Trying it out is..."

"Wait!"

After stopping the bald woman who wanted to experience it personally, the middle-aged man squinted at Li Ang and slowed down his speech to ask:

"Little Bajinsi, don't blame me for thinking too much, but the situation regarding your bowing ability comes entirely from your own words. We don't know what it's specifically like.

So can I assume that the true face of your ability might not be bowing, but that after cooperating with you, one will be controlled, have their inner secrets peeped at, or even be obedient to you from now on?"?!!!

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the group of rebels in the room couldn't help but sharpen their expressions, and the expressions they looked at Li Ang with became dangerous instantly.

That's right! How could there be such a boring ability as making people bow? The reason he said so was likely to make us lose our vigilance, and because of curiosity, we would take the initiative to cooperate and enter the range of his ability!

If the situation is really as Neisen guessed, then everyone will likely be this kid's puppets from now on!

"Leader, you misunderstood."

Feeling the unkind gazes cast by the group of rebels, Li Ang sensibly raised

both hands, made a gesture of surrender, and tried his best to explain:

"The situation isn't what you imagined. My ability really only makes people bow. As for the test just proposed, it doesn't require you to do any cooperation at all. You just need to listen to me say one sentence.

If you would be controlled just by listening to me say one sentence, then you have already listened to me say so many sentences, wouldn't you have been controlled long ago?"

That's true...

Hearing "Little Bajinsi's" defense, the group of rebels pondered privately for a while, then felt that what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable. The scarred man beside Li Ang couldn't wait to stand up, waving his hand impatiently to drive people away:

"Those who are willing to try, stay and listen. Those who are afraid of being controlled, cover your ears or just get out and wait! Why are you dragging your feet over such a simple thing?"

After "firing" at the group of rebels, the scarred man sniffed again, then turned to look at Li Ang:

"Come! Try it on me first! I want to see how you can make me bow to you with just one sentence!"

"Alright."

Hearing the scarred man's words, Li Ang didn't move his mouth immediately, but looked around and reminded them with a serious expression:

"Everyone, one last reminder. My ability is activated by language, so if there are still those who are worried about being controlled, please be sure to cover your ears tightly. It's best if you can leave temporarily."

"..."

Hearing "Little Bajinsi's" reminder, the group of rebels in the room fell into silence again, but no one chose to leave. Even the middle-aged man at the head of the table didn't move after hesitating for a while.

After all, if it could be activated just by listening to one sentence, then "Little Bajinsi" had countless opportunities to activate the anomalous object before stating his ability, and there was no need to state the rules before activating the ability...

"Since everyone is prepared to try, then I'll begin."

Looking around and seeing no one leave, and no one covering their ears, Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, then held up two fingers.

"I believe that one plus one equals two. Those who agree with me, please stand up and bow to me now."

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

The moment Li Ang's voice fell, the sound of a large number of chairs being dragged on the ground sounded simultaneously. The group of rebels in the room were horrified to find that they had actually lost control of their bodies.

Everyone in this room stood up from their chairs at the same time and performed a quite standard bowing ceremony toward "Little Bajinsi." Two people who were relatively short even knocked their heads directly on the table with a bang.

"Holy crap! It's actually true!"

After reaching out to pick up the hood that had fallen onto the table, the bald woman touched her forehead, which had been bumped red, and said with a face full of surprise:

"I just thought about it for a second, thinking that what you said was right, and I actually lost control of my body and bowed to you directly!

Good guy! You really weren't lying! There really is such a useless anomalous ability, as long as you agree with what you say... uh... Leader?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who was the only one still sitting in his chair and hadn't stood up to bow to "Little Bajinsi," the bald woman asked with confusion:

"Isn't this one plus one? Why are you..."

"It's because I didn't target him with my ability."

Just as the bald woman was showing a look of doubt and starting to question the middle-aged man's math ability, Li Ang interrupted her:

"Lord Neisen is the leader recognized by everyone after all. I felt it wasn't very good to ask him to bow to me, so when I was using the ability, I didn't choose him as a target."

"Oh, I see!"

Confirming that "Little Bajinsi" hadn't lied, and that everything he had said from beginning to end was the truth, the bald woman's attitude became much closer, and she even laughed and complained:

"Really... you should have said so. I thought the leader didn't even know how to calculate one plus one!"

Hehe, whether he knows how to calculate one plus one, I don't know, but I already know who he is!

After returning a gentle smile to the bald woman, Li Ang looked at the 【Traveler King】 with golden light flowing on the slot, then turned to look at the middle-aged man at the head of the table who was frowning, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

So it was you!

Not using the ability on the leader was, of course, purely nonsense. According to the ability of the 【Traveler King】, everyone whose "status" was lower than his, this King, should have stood up and bowed immediately under the constraint of the badge.

And the only person who could possibly be an exception was the "Prince" whose status was equal to his, this "King"—that is, the Joshua Prince who didn't know what means he used to return to the present from the future!

I really didn't expect that the leader of the rebels who was making trouble everywhere would be a Prince of the Wang Guo... This guy really is just as punchable no matter how old he gets!

After completing the meaningful look at the middle-aged man, discovering the foundation used for concealment on his cheeks, and vaguely identifying some facial features, Li Ang finally understood where the sense of familiarity came from when he first saw him.

Don't ask, asking means I've slapped him, and not just once. He belongs to the standard old acquaintance category!

"Everyone!"

After moving his right wrist, which was suddenly somewhat restless, Li Ang, who had proven he wasn't lying, sat back in his chair and reminded them with a smile:

"I remember, there seems to be a very important meeting today? Can we continue now?"

Right! We came here for a meeting!

Hearing Li Ang's reminder, the others, who were still studying the bow just now, came back to their senses and agreed one after another:

"Right! There is something very important!"

"Indeed, it's time to continue!"

"Indeed, we've already wasted quite a bit of time!"

"..."

Why do I feel... the situation is a bit wrong?

Looking at "Little Bajinsi," who was sitting at the end of the long table with his hands crossed and leaning on the table, gazing at him with deep meaning, the middle-aged man at the head of the table only felt a sense of awkwardness in his heart, and the chair he was sitting on felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat.

Whether it was the agreement of the rebel members around him or the reminder to hold the meeting that should have been issued by himself, everything seemed to be vaguely indicating something, as if with that strange bow just now, something that should have been firmly controlled in his own hands had suddenly started to "flow."

This strange thing, which didn't truly exist but was extremely important, was constantly flowing away from himself, who was sitting at the head of the table, along this old conference long table, slowly and unstoppably flowing toward the other end of the long table... ===== CHAPTER 205 =====

This strange thing, which did not truly exist yet was extremely important, was flowing away from him as he sat at the head of this old council table, slowly and unstoppably trickling toward the other end of the long table...
