Chapter 556

This is... the photo Anna lost?

Through the gaps in the hair, after identifying what this was, Li Ang could not help but open his eyes wide in surprise.

"Director, how did this thing end up with you?"

"That's a question for your good senior."

The red-haired Director smiled and said:

"You don't really think that Jerry could resist his stealing habit and not touch you after seeing you, right?"

"But... this thing should be at my home, not on me."

"That is the effect of an anomalous object called 【Stealing Luck Hand】. When Jerry wants to steal your things, let alone just at home, even if you were in another world, the result would be the same."

"As long as he gets close to you and touches you, the thing that has had the greatest impact on your life so far will be taken by him directly. Even a True God cannot completely exempt himself from this ability."

After briefly explaining Jerry's ability, the red-haired Director asked with a smile:

"Although he did something not so good to you, I also made him compensate you double. Are you satisfied with his apology?"

"..."

So that's how it is... No wonder Senior Jerry was so generous, not only giving me two anomalous objects directly, but also teaching me many tricks for using anomalous objects, and sending an extra bomb that was expensive as hell...

"Very satisfied, Senior Jerry helped me a lot."

After figuring out the reason, Li Ang shook his head speechlessly, then thought of the evaluation of the members of the Virgo Branch by the two investigators just now, and could not help but ask:

"By the way, Director, is the reputation of our Bureau... not very good?"

"It's indeed not very good, or it can be said to be very rotten."

Upon hearing Li Ang's inquiry, the red-haired Director nodded and frankly admitted the bad reputation of the Virgo Branch, then sighed and said:

"But there's no way around it. The people in our Bureau are all natural carriers of anomalous objects, and behind these self-contained anomalous objects are also the curses that everyone can't shake off."

"Jerry, who has a thief's hand, can't help but steal; Auntie Ai Ma, who has an immortal body, is particularly afraid of death; Tom, who holds dice, can't quit his gambling addiction; Harry, who can stick to anything, always can't keep anything... These all belong to this category. While everyone has gained power, they also have to pay a corresponding price."

"Other branches, although they have people similar to this situation, either their strength is not good, resulting in the degree not being so extreme, or the number of people is very small, only one or two, and they haven't caused any big trouble."

"And on our side... although we are not bad people, we are also hard to change our bad habits. We have caused quite a few problems in the past, plus I am a notorious executioner director, so the reputation naturally can't be good."

I see...

Upon hearing the red-haired Director's words, Li Ang nodded clearly. And the red-haired Director, after glancing at him, could not help but ponder his situation.

Little Li Ang... forced information acquisition, belongs to the ability of the cognitive world. Thinking along this line, is his "bad habit"... excessive curiosity?

No, that's not right!

Recalling Li Ang's performance on weekdays, feeling that although he cherishes knowledge very much, he has not reached the level of a "bad habit," the red-haired Director could not help but shake her head slightly, denying her guess.

It seems that Li Ang's "bad habit" is not the "positive reinforcement" of anomalous objects like Jerry's, but mostly the "reverse conflict" type like Auntie Ai Ma's and Harry's...

"Director?" Being stared at by the red-haired Director's thoughtful gaze, Li Ang's scalp felt a bit tight. He hurriedly picked up the photo on the table and said goodbye:

"I have no other questions, so I'm leaving!"

"Mm, go, go!"

After Li Ang pushed the door and left, the red-haired Director crossed her fingers and leaned lazily against the back of the chair, continuing to ponder the question just now.

The "bad habits" produced by a cleanup worker after being infected are most commonly two situations.

Either it is the positive reinforcement of anomalous objects, such as the 【Stealing Luck Hand】 that can steal and Jerry's stealing habit; or it is the reverse conflict that contradicts the ability, such as the 【Immortal Body】 that can be immortal and Auntie Ai Ma's cautious personality that extremely resists death.

And Li Ang's anomalous object ability belongs to a kind of cognitive world. Since he has not shown excessive curiosity, it will not be the first situation. It should be the second situation, where his own personality is exactly the opposite of the performance of the anomalous ability.

Then if the cognitive world is reversed... Li Ang has a complete set of cognition about the laws of the world, and it is extremely firm and will not be easily changed?

Unaware that his "bottom line" had been stripped by the Director by 70%, and was about to be pulled down to his knees, Li Ang, who returned to his office, did not immediately start working, but checked the family photo of his sister Anna and his parents.

【Name: Warm Home (Repairing, cannot be used) (Prayer, Puppet, Modification)】

【Appearance: A brand-new family photo. There is no abnormality when viewed from the front, but if you observe from the back, you can find a large number of unhealed cracks and dark brown burn marks, which seem to have been repeatedly torn and burned by fire.】

【Ability: Obtain Family, Control Family, Modify World】

【Cost: Updating, visible after repair is complete】

【File: One of the many functional anomalous objects created by the Wang Gong board member of the Cleanup Bureau to achieve his wish, tentatively numbered 0006.】

【This anomalous object with very special abilities was born from a child's deepest longing for family. However, what it can bring is not a real family that loves the user, but a group of puppets that obey his every word.】

【After discovering this, its creator denied the meaning of this anomalous object and tore it apart completely, lifting the control over the "family", but also causing irreparable damage.】

【But after several years of mutual companionship, its creator and the family brought by this anomalous object slowly became a real family, and the meaning of this anomalous object was recognized again, and it began a slow self-repair.】

【Please note that after this repair is completely finished, its ability will appear with completely unknown new changes based on the creator's situation.】

【Evaluation: Even if it is a vicious flower born of deception and malice, as long as you insist on watering it carefully with kindness and love, it may not be impossible to bear warm and beautiful fruits.】

【Infection Value:?】

So... I was indeed not Anna's real brother, but a fake family "kidnapped" by this anomalous object?

Although he had similar guesses long ago, after reading the file of this family photo, Li Ang could not help but close his eyes, feeling quite complicated and leaning against the back of the chair. However, this complicated mood did not last long before it was brutally broken by a strong sense of crisis.

It's the Wang Gong board member again!

Looking at the information about the Wang Gong board member that appeared again in the file of the family photo, Li Ang's brows could not help but twist fiercely.

I didn't expect Anna's family photo to be one of the anomalous objects he created to achieve his wish... So what exactly is the Wang Gong board member's wish? In the process of painstakingly realizing his wish, will he cause harm to Anna?
