Chapter 40: 40 Birthday?

40 Birthday?

I really f***ed the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang!

Not expecting that he was acting well just now, but he could turn over three times in a second and sell his identity completely, Li Ang could only curse, then carried the broom and turned around violently, and met the security manager with a ferocious face face-to-face.

"You..."

"You're done!"

After kicking the security manager's face fiercely, kicking him and the second half of his words away, Li Ang picked up the file folder on the ground and rushed out the door.

By this time, even a stupid person should have reacted that something was wrong. Five or six roars of different timbres sounded in the conference room almost at the same time, finally converging into the same sentence like a symphony:

"Catch him！！！！！！!"

You absolutely can't catch me!

Although he turned over inexplicably, Li Ang's heart was not panicked at all.

Because besides the calming effect of 【Martyr of the Wine Country】, due to the experience taught by Senior Ai Ma—"Instead of thinking about how to complete the mission, the first thing to think about should be how to run away after failure."

So when entering the Water Company, Li Ang had already carefully observed the terrain and thought of the escape route in advance after being discovered, so he didn't worry about being caught at all.

After quickly passing through the situation around him in his mind, considering that there was a security team guarding against protesters at the

"Stop him!"

"Catch that man!"

"Don't let him get away!"

Amidst the buzzing shouts, like a snowball rolling down a mountain, the number of people chasing after Li Ang grew, densely packing and blocking more than half of the corridor.

Because he was carrying quite a few things, Li Ang's speed could never pick up. He was soon caught up to by the "pursuers" behind him. Among them, several security guards with the best physical fitness were less than three steps away from him, and they even had the spare energy to shout loudly while chasing.

"Put the stuff down!"

"There's no way out ahead!"

"Stop! You can't run anymore!"

Who said I was "running"?

Glancing back at the pursuers behind him and finding that the security guards had caught up to a very close distance, Li Ang, who had been prepared, narrowed his eyes and gripped the handle of the 【Witch's Broom】 tightly!

"Boom!"

The cover used to block the airflow burst open with a bang. In the room that should have been enclosed, a strange gale suddenly blew up, and absurdly enough, it only blew at people's lower bodies.

The security guards trailing behind Li Ang had been leaning forward while running, and after being hit by this evil wind, they immediately fell to the ground in a row like harvested leeks. One by one, they hit the floor tiles, breaking their heads and bleeding, and a few who reacted slowly even knocked themselves unconscious.

Although the people behind were not directly blown over by the gale, they were tripped up by the fallen security guards. Most of them fell directly to the ground and rolled into a heap, blocking the people behind them as well. The number of "pursuers" instantly decreased by nearly half!

"Damn it! Go around!"

"Get out of the way! Don't block the path!"

"He went upstairs!"

It must be said that the physical fitness of the Water Company's security is truly excellent. Several people maintained their balance and didn't fall, just being blocked for a moment, while those who didn't fall too hard climbed up one after another, gritted their teeth, and chased after him again, rushing into the stairwell behind Li Ang.

However, the thing that left everyone dumbfounded happened again.

Li Ang, who had rushed into the stairwell, was like a monkey that had returned to the forest. His already thin body was as light as paper, and with just one leap, he covered more than half a flight of stairs.

After pulling the handrail with his free hand,

and completing the force dissipation, he seemed to feel that this wasn't fast enough. Li Ang hugged the sheep head and the folder in one hand, clamped the broom under his armpit, and actually flipped directly into the gap between the two flights of stairs.

In the shocked eyes of a crowd of security guards who looked at him as if he were God, the person wearing the same uniform as them didn't even want to walk the stairs anymore; he directly used his feet and hands to climb up through the gap in the stairwell!

As if what surrounded him wasn't empty air, but river water capable of providing buoyancy, that not-so-sturdy body only needed to contract and expand, lightly borrowing force from the handrails and stairs, to be able to shoot upward by nearly two meters. It was simply more agile than floating from the sea to the surface while holding an empty wine barrel!

"You... why are you all stopping?!"

After running into the stairwell panting, looking at the crowd of security guards blankly looking up, the pale-faced meeting moderator couldn't help but roar angrily:

"Chase him! He took the records from the archives! Even if you're exhausted to death here, you have to... have to... ah?"

Watching Li Ang climb to the sixth floor like a monkey using both hands and feet, then kick open the transom window and fly out riding the broom, the meeting moderator forgot how to breathe for a moment.

That face full of anger turned from red to white, then white to red, and finally, it was so stifled that it turned a faint blue-purple.

"Ah?!?!?!"

"Ahahaha, I really didn't expect it! My heart is actually in the Capital!"

Ignoring the gale blowing in his face, the black goat hanging on the broom handle grinned and laughed excitedly:

"Your luck is really good! I just mentioned it to you, and you actually bumped into one when you turned around, and it's the strongest heart at that!

Kid! Hurry up and get stronger! Once your strength is sufficient, I can help you wipe out everyone in the Laien family in just one hour and snatch my heart back!"

"Speaking of luck..."

Habitually ignoring the black goat's demonic remarks, after recalling the situation just now, Li Ang couldn't help but frown:

"Don't you think today is a bit strange?"

"Huh?"

"Until I left the meeting room, my luck today was strangely good."

Li Ang, sitting astride the broom, reached out his hand and counted on his fingers one by one:

"I wanted to find your sheep... anomalous object, and I got the news immediately; I wanted to understand the Water Company's compensation plan, and I discovered the board meeting immediately; I wanted to sneak in to see who had touched your heart, and something happened inside immediately... oh, and there's more!"

After touching the pocket on the chest of his security uniform, Li Ang said with his brows tightly locked:

"It's one thing for you to fall out of the shopping bag, after all, my turning movement was indeed a bit large, but this pocket is too strange.

To avoid losing my ID, I specifically fastened the button on the pocket, but just as I bent over, the stitching of the button happened to snap, directly flinging out the Bureau's ID.

And that security manager, if he had passed by even a little earlier or later, nothing would have happened, but he happened to appear at the most inopportune time. Are there too many coincidences today?"

It does seem a bit absurd... and the number of times for good luck and bad luck is exactly equal? Hmm... I get it!

After blinking his eyes thoughtfully, the black goat said with certainty:

"Kid, today must be your birthday!"

???

Birthday? My birthday is still a long way off! And what does this have to do with a birthday?

"Hehe, this is the blessing your Bureau snatched from the hands of the Lord of the Starry Sky."

Seeing Li Ang's confusion, the black goat asked with a chuckle:

"You don't think the names of the 87 branches of your Bureau were chosen randomly, do you?

Kid, let me tell you, these eighty-seven branches of yours are themselves a conceptual anomalous object, something like 'Star Chart Protection' or whatever it's called.

The effect of that thing is to allow the employees of your Bureau to receive the protection of the corresponding star palace on their birthday, possessing an ability similar to getting what one wishes for.

Of course, this ability to get what one wishes for is degraded; it can only help you achieve goals that were already possible to achieve. If you want to become the King of the World, you definitely won't get anything."

"That's not right, is it?"

Li Ang couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, then shook his head in denial:

"Getting what one wishes for is good luck, but half of mine was bad luck!"

"It's right that there's bad luck. Do you really think that Lord of the Starry Sky has no temper?"

Seeming to recall something extremely interesting, the black goat chuckled:

"Although forced to give you a blessing, that Lord of the Starry Sky is very petty, and backhanded you with a curse of the same specification.

Your Bureau's employees gain convenience a few times on their birthday using this blessing, and after achieving their goals, they will suffer bad luck a few times. It can be considered a fair trade."

"It seems to make sense..."

After recalling the situation just now again, Li Ang nodded slightly at first, but soon frowned and shook his head:

"But my birthday has already passed; it's definitely not today!"
