Chapter 492: Revenge and Understanding

'Ahahaha, it really is funny.'

While the female police officer was stunned by the encounter of the female prisoner's husband and started trembling all over, the shopping bag at Li Ang's feet moved slightly. The Black Goat, who had listened to the whole thing, couldn't help but burst into laughter in Li Ang's mind:

'So he busied himself for such a big circle, and in the end, nothing changed! Ahahaha, that cripple died so hilariously. We've never seen such a stupid… Ouch! Why did you kick me, kid?'

After stepping hard on the goat's head and confirming it wouldn't move around anymore, Li Ang, feeling a bit more comfortable, reminded silently:

'Keep an eye on that bandage. I feel that thing isn't normal.'

'Hmm? You suspect that's also an Anomalous Object?'

After observing the bandage on the female prisoner's hand through his soul vision and indeed feeling a strange smell, the Black Goat also became vigilant and asked with full curiosity:

'Good fellow, it actually really has that feeling… So how did this woman manage it? Holding an Anomalous Object and still being caught by ordinary people?'

'She… is probably doing it on purpose…'

Li Ang touched the dung beetle badge of the Virgo Cleanup Bureau and didn't feel any scorching temperature, so he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This badge of the Cleanup Bureau can issue a warning in time when encountering situations like out-of-control infiltrators, but it won't have any reaction when facing anomalies that are skillfully controlled. So, that female prisoner should be someone who skillfully controls Anomalous Objects.

Although he didn't know what the bandage's ability was, judging from the encounter of the previous "owner," it was unlikely to be a positive ability. And the destination of her and the female police officer happened to be the Bobby Laien family, so…

She was likely trying to infiltrate the Bobby Laien family and use that bandage to take revenge for her husband!

With the help of the Black Goat's soul vision, he looked at the female prisoner's soul, which was currently stable but surging with monstrous blood flames underneath. After basically confirming his conjecture, Li Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Then… should I fulfill my duty?

…

And while Li Ang was hesitating whether to stop this "dangerous element" or simply turn a blind eye, or even add fuel to the fire, the female police officer on the other side, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again:

"You shouldn't be an ordinary rebel…"

Looking at the female prisoner whose pupils shrank suddenly, the female police officer said softly with a complex expression:

"I've caught and interrogated many rebels. Many of them are people from the bottom of the capital. The education they received and the experiences they had were… not very good. So when they speak, they are generally very good at using short sentences to express their emotions directly and dryly."

"For example, the ecstasy of a successful attack, their insults toward us, their complaints about their own encounters, etc. Even when their psychological defenses are broken and they reveal their origins and experiences, their narratives are mostly tangled and unclear, and both their wording and the logic in their words appear relatively chaotic."

"But you are different from them. Even though it was an exchange without any preparation, your narrative was fluent and clear. Apart from a few short recollections, your words had almost no hesitation, and you were able to explain your entire encounter. This is not something an ordinary person can do."

"Because my husband…"

"No, I'm not talking about that respected gentleman's matter, but your situation."

After recalling the words just now, the female police officer bit her lip hard, and her eyes continued to dim as she said:

"Besides this point, when you wanted to use some relatively complex and obscure vocabulary just now, you were also able to blurt them out without needing to think."

"And in the process of narrating, you have been intentionally provoking my emotions, and you seem very familiar with this kind of exchange. So you must have received a very good education and often given speeches to many people."

"Plus, the familiarity you revealed just now regarding the replacement of high-ranking Military Department officials and the division of responsibilities among various departments… You are a high-level rebel, right?" "…"

"I underestimated you."

Facing the question raised by the female police officer, the female prisoner rubbed the bandage on her wrist, then nodded and readily admitted her misjudgment, with a look of slight surprise:

"I originally thought you were just a naive young lady, and like my crippled husband, you were fooled by that set of things, which is why you had such inappropriate fantasies. I didn't expect you to have this ability."

"You didn't underestimate me. I was… indeed like what you said in the past, thinking that as long as I insisted on doing what I thought was right, it would be fine. But before you…"

After biting her lip until it turned white, the female police officer, whose heart was in a mess, lowered her head slightly and said in a very, very low voice:

"Before you, I also met another rebel. After reading his file, I started to feel…"

Because the female police officer's voice was too low, and coupled with the boiler's noisy roar, the female prisoner didn't hear what she said clearly, so she frowned and asked:

"What did you say?"

"Nothing…"

The female police officer shook her head vigorously, controlled her temporary loss of composure, then clenched her fists, and said with firm determination:

"I am indeed inexperienced, and sometimes I might… be a bit stupid, but I have put my heart into my own job!

Also, not just the Bobby Laien family case, including your husband's encounter, if it is finally investigated and confirmed to be true, I will definitely…"

"You will be transferred before it's investigated!"

Hearing her promise, the female prisoner, whose plan failed due to her identity being exposed, couldn't help but sneer, and mocked with cold indifference:

"Miss Miss Yisha, you are truly cute… naively cute!"

"There isn't only one person who dares to confront big nobles for the sake of their duties, but not everyone has your background!"

Looking at the female police officer, whose expression dimmed after being told, the female prisoner snorted with full disdain:

"Go ahead and investigate if you're willing! But remember, if it weren't for your surname, your end might not be better than my husband's!"

"And even if you finally succeed, my attitude won't have any changes, because even if you can do this kind of thing, it's just that your father's status is higher!"

"My husband and I don't want this kind of boring salvation that is no different from pity from a superior. What we need is the most direct blood for blood!"

"…"

Maybe you're right… but…

Hearing her murderous words, the somewhat dazed female police officer bit her lip, and flashes of her father's increasingly hunched back and hair that was rapidly turning gray after taking over the Military Department's mess crossed her mind.

Father… I seem to understand you a little bit…

After clenching her fists hard and taking a deep breath, the female police officer, whose eyes had been dodging, looked back into the other party's cold eyes for the first time. Her voice was extremely light, but exceptionally firm:

"Maybe it really is meaningless, but as long as there are still people trying to do it, it will definitely be stronger than giving up completely!"
