Chapter 590: Sibling Night Talk and Finally Arrived

"Brother?"

After walking out of the inner room with a clean small cloth bag, finding that the doll-faced girl had disappeared and only Li Ang was still standing by the door, Anna couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Where is Miss Ai Mi?"

"I don't have much time to stay at home, and there are still some things to ask you, so I asked her to go home first."

Turning his head to look out the window and finding that the strong old man was about to climb in, Li Ang prepared to make a long story short, grabbed his younger sister's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Anna, tell me..."

"When did you and Miss Veronica happen?"

"Ah?"

Looking at Li Ang, whose eyes were somewhat stunned, Anna bit her lower lip, then said softly with some resentment:

"That is... how did you meet? And how did you decide to get married? Why didn't you tell me at all?"

"..."

"This... can I say that I am actually still confused?"

After hesitating slightly, Li Ang explained:

"Anna, you should know that there are many things in this world that do not belong to the 'normal range.' Like your photo, they have all kinds of incredible abilities.

And Miss Veronica, she was affected by something similar, making the entire Kingdom lose their memory of her, which also includes you and me."

What? Everyone forgot her?!

Just hearing about the photo, Anna couldn't help but feel tight in her heart, subconsciously clutching her skirt, but after listening to the Princess's encounter, she couldn't help but say with surprise and sympathy:

"Then... doesn't she have nothing left? Not only lost her identity, but even friends, family... lover... all of these are gone?"

"Yes."

After getting an affirmative answer from Li Ang's mouth, Anna fell into silence.

This kind of situation of suddenly losing everything, if it were herself, she would probably collapse directly. And Princess Veronica not only didn't show any painful expression, but even talked and laughed with herself yesterday.

Except for the eye circles being slightly heavy, it could be seen that she didn't sleep very well at night, there was almost no abnormality on the surface, it was really...

"She is so strong..."

"Yes, she is indeed a very 'powerful' person."

Understanding what her younger sister was sighing about, Li Ang nodded in agreement after seeing the Princess's soul.

In the Black Goat's soul vision, everyone's soul has its own "base color." This doesn't refer to real colors like red, orange, yellow, green, but a feeling closer to the essence.

Anna's base color is longing and warmth, the policewoman Yi Sha's base color is pity and responsibility, and the base color of Princess Veronica's soul is unparalleled extreme toughness. Her belief is hard to the point of being terrifying, as if she was born not knowing what despair is.

And this belief is not the kind of self-confidence that she will definitely succeed, but the kind of awareness that even if she knows the chance is slim, she will still continue to move forward without hesitation, walking until both legs are worn flat without stopping, with no other end point except death.

Hmm... in a sense, her younger brother's soul is actually this feeling. The two royal family members he has contacted have very astonishing soul "hardness."

It's just that if Princess Veronica's base color is called belief, then her younger brother's base color can only be called arrogance. Even after receiving the mixed-gender beating from himself and Senior Ai Ma, and having several teeth pulled out, that guy still looked down on himself from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe this is the inheritance of the Royal Family!

Shaking his head slightly and no longer thinking about the freckled Prince's strange soul, Li Ang looked at the strong old man's progress in climbing the window, then looked at his younger sister, who was admiring and somewhat envious, and asked earnestly:

"Anna, can you tell me what you thought in your heart after meeting Miss Veronica yesterday?"

Ah? What am I thinking?

Being stunned by Li Ang's question, Anna hesitated for a while and answered:

"That is... very envious of her?"

"Only envious?"

"And a little... want to become someone like her..."

Subconsciously aiming at the papaya in the kitchen, Anna said enviously:

"My body is not good, but Princess Veronica is very healthy and very energetic; I am a bit too thin and small, and her... figure is especially good; and her personality is also.

Contrary to me who is not very good at speaking, she is very talkative, has an open personality, and has a charm that makes people believe in her unconsciously... and her personality is very similar to Mom's in my memory."

After recalling the past, Anna's eyes were full of warmth:

"Actually, since I was a child, I wanted to become someone like her and Mom, but I really couldn't do it,"

"..."

So... Princess Veronica is Anna's "ideal type," and the envy she produced after contacting her, and the thought of wanting to become her, caused 【Warm Home】 to be repaired and turned into 【If】 that could replace others?

It feels... quite reasonable, but the degree seems a bit wrong.

Being able to make the ability of an anomalous object change, then this thought of "if I were her" would be quite strong. If it were just simple envy, would Anna produce such a strong thought?

After frowning and pondering for a while, worrying that if he returned the photo to Anna, it would really make her replace the Princess, Li Ang didn't take the photo out, but grabbed his younger sister's shoulder and said seriously:

"Anything else? Is that really all? You think about it carefully! Is there anything else?"

Other than that...

The sickly girl bit her lower lip when she heard this, a figure of a crying man flashed in her mind, and then she looked at Li Ang with a complex expression.

If I obtained the photo of my family, and it was taken by that man, everything would be restored. You, Wei Ang Lian, and Mei Lan Ni would all find the life you originally had, and I would no longer be your family.

If this really happened, I would return to being alone, and your family would only have Princess Veronica. I am really so envious of her...

But precisely because I used that photo six years ago, I deprived you of the life you originally had. I... do I have the qualification to stop that man and not let him change everything back to the original track?

I don't...

After her lips opened and closed slightly, Anna, whose expression was somewhat dim, shook her head and whispered with a sob:

"I don't..."

"You do! Anna! You must be hiding something from me!"

Even without using soul vision, Li Ang could see the hesitation in his younger sister's heart.

If it were other things, it would be fine. Everyone has their own secrets, but the content Anna doesn't want to say mostly concerns the anomalous objects created by the Aquarius Director, which absolutely cannot be sloppy!

"Although I don't know why you want to hide it from me, it has something to do with that photo, right?"

After secretly touching the Black Goat's horn and checking Anna's soul state, Li Ang's expression softened slightly, and he said warmly:

"Anna! Listen to me!

Whether it is wanting to escape the mistakes of the past, or feeling that hiding it from me might be better for me, or some other reason, absolutely do not do this!"

After pausing slightly, looking at his younger sister who didn't deny it, Li Ang continued to emphasize while thinking: "I am your brother. If you made any mistakes, just tell me directly! I will try my best to help you make up for it together!

If it is for my own good, then there is even less need to hide it from me! My affairs should be decided by myself. You can try to persuade me, but you are not allowed to make choices for me!"

"I... I just..."

"Don't say anything else. You can only choose to tell me now, or choose to continue hiding it from me."

After secretly touching the Black Goat's horn and checking Anna's soul state, Li Ang's expression softened slightly, and he said warmly:

"The choice is yours to make. I cannot make the choice for you, but I still hope you can tell me the situation.

Anna, you have to be prepared. If you continue to hide it from me, I will definitely be very angry, very, very angry!

But you can rest assured, because I am your brother, so no matter how angry I am, I will definitely forgive you sooner or later! You can start choosing now!"

However, although the choice is yours, if I have already said so, if you still choose to hide it from me, then I will go find the Director in a moment and try to borrow an anomalous object that can read minds!

"I..."

Not knowing Li-Double Standard-Ang's despicable plan in his heart, looking at Li Ang who still chose to trust her at this time and returned the right of choice to her, Anna couldn't help but have red eye circles and sobbed softly:

"I choose to tell you! I will tell you everything!"

"What? The Aquarius Director has already been to the Capital? And even went to your home?"

After listening to the news relayed by Li Ang, even the red-haired Director, who was always calm, was startled by this news.

"Yes, and the time is very close, the night before the investigators from the Bureau came down."

After finishing Anna's encounter and the conversation between her and the Aquarius Director, Li Ang gritted his teeth with lingering fear:

"Director, this person is really too dangerous, and likely planning something extremely dangerous. Can the internal questioning of him not be advanced any further?"

"It can't be advanced."

The red-haired Director shook her head helplessly:

"The year-end review in six days is the fastest time I can think of. There is really no way to continue to advance it...

Um... if you are worried about the safety of your family, these days you can let your younger brother and sister take a leave of absence from school and temporarily live in the Bureau. I will protect them, and they can go back after the year-end review."

"I was thinking the same thing... Thank you, Director!"

After thanking the red-haired Director sincerely, feeling the pressure on his body finally relax a little, Li Ang took out the photo and handed it over.

"Director, although I don't know why Aquarius wants it, what he wants to do is what we should stop. It's better to put this thing with you. I'm worried I can't keep it."

That photo that can replace identity?

After looking at the appearance of Princess Veronica on the photo, the red-haired Director pondered for a while, then didn't take the photo, but took out a dirty little mirror from the drawer and shook it at the photo.

Looking at the photo that flickered slightly and then directly turned from one into two, Li Ang couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

This is? Copy-type anomalous object? Is the Director trying to...

"This thing is called 【Copy in Pairs】, one of the anomalous objects I hold privately, and it is also a numbered anomalous object, with a real intensity of about 30.

As for the ability, it is the same as the name, capable of copying anything into an identical replica, including anomalous objects, but the ability will have a certain attenuation, and only one replica can exist at the same time.

In addition, as long as the replica has not been destroyed, it will continuously consume my power to maintain it. The longer it is maintained, the greater the power consumed. It is a troublesome anomalous object with many restrictions... but the effect is very easy to use, especially when used for fishing."

After pushing one of the photos over, looking at Li Ang, whose eyes flashed with a hint of realization and seemed to understand something, the red-haired Director couldn't help but curl her lips and smile:

"It seems you have already guessed it. I didn't report 【Copy in Pairs】 to the Bureau. Aquarius should not be clear about it. It happens to be used to try to set a trap for him.

And in order to avoid him having any ability to sense the location of anomalous objects and use some strange anomalous objects to steal things, as insurance, I only put fake photos here, while the real photo is placed in the small mirror you carry with you.

As for the safety problem, you don't have to worry. For creatures not in the mirror world, everything in the mirror is just an illusory reflection, without actual form. If you don't take it out, he will definitely not find it."

Good fellow, can fish and has double insurance. The sober Director is really too reliable!

"Alright!"

After looking at the red-haired Director with some admiration, Li Ang was about to put the photo away, but saw the red-haired Director take out a small box, place it next to the real photo, and push it over together.

"This is?"

"The heart of that sheep... um... is it called 【Heart of Ambition】?"

Looking at Li Ang, whose eyes suddenly lit up, the red-haired Director said with a smile: 【590-108

"Although the rating given was shockingly low, you did indeed pass the Bureau's investigation. Just about when you and Emma were slapping Prince Joshua, the General Bureau sent someone to deliver the items."

"Uh..."

"You were the one who led the beating of him, right?"

Looking at Li Ang, whose expression was somewhat awkward, the red-haired Director withdrew the smile on her face, narrowed her eyes, and said:

"Although Emma said she did it and you were just standing up for her, I don't think I need to tell you what the truth is, right? Do you know how long the complaint letter that stupid prince sent to the General Bureau through the King was!"

"..."

"He complained that our Bureau was derelict in its duties, violated the agreement between the Cleanup Bureau and the Kingdom, ignored the safety of royal family members, was ineffective in arresting illegal anomalous object holders, acted recklessly by beating the heir to the throne, and that the cleanup mission affected innocent people, causing a great noble family to be nearly wiped out... He wrote over thirty items in total!"

"Really... fortunately, you hit him today, and the complaint letter arrived before the year-end review. Otherwise, based on the intensity of his complaint this time, I'm afraid we would still be at the bottom next year!"

"..."

After complaining a few times in a nagging manner, the red-haired Director habitually reached for the wine bottle, wanting to take a sip to relieve the sorrow in her heart, but after thinking about it, she put it back. Instead, she picked up a cup of hot tea and said to Li Ang, who looked embarrassed, with a smile:

"Little Li Ang~ Since you've caused me so much trouble today, shouldn't you take on a slightly more difficult mission to make it up to me?"

"..."

Looking at the red-haired Director's narrowed fox-like eyes, Li Ang instinctively felt that something big was going wrong. But since he had just been caught in the act, he had no choice but to nod in resignation.

"Okay..."

"That's good!"

After reaching out and pointing at the photo on the table, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"After I rely on the review to lure Aquarius away and confirm there will be no danger, how about you use it to go undercover among the rebels?"
