Chapter 612

【Usurper: An ambitious person driven by huge ambition, attempting to use improper or immoral despicable means to completely subvert a legitimate regime or organization in order to thoroughly change the original order.】

【Wearing effect: When you engage in some illegal or immoral behavior, your concealment and efficiency will be greatly improved.】

【Advancement route: After thoroughly completing the usurpation of a national organization or ten regional organizations, this badge will automatically advance to the gold-level hidden badge "Unrighteous False King."】

【Hidden characteristic (no need to wear): After you thoroughly subvert a regime or organization and successfully complete a usurpation, you will forcibly seize a high-value item from the hands of the subverted.】

……

"……"

Li Ang, who had obtained the "official certification" from the badge system and thoroughly sat in the position of the rebel leader, couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

It's over... it really was as the director said, I really mixed my way to become the leader... but the badge seems quite powerful?

Looking at the new badge in the panel that was flashing with dim silver light and seemed to be able to emit an evil sneer at any time, Li Ang couldn't help but cast his gaze toward middle-aged Joshua on the side.

It's a pity that he obtained the Usurper badge after completing the "usurpation" behavior. If he had obtained the Usurper badge first, he might have had a chance to "strip" the 【Gate of the Other Side】 from middle-aged Joshua.

And now, according to the "habit" of the Aquarius Director, if he really moved against the 【Gate of the Other Side】, that thing would probably activate immediately and take Joshua away directly...

Wait!

While pondering this, seemingly suddenly thinking of something, Li Ang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he opened his mouth to the group of rebels:

"Since everyone believes in me, then I won't decline..."

"Also, attacking the Landing Tower involves the Kroke Kingdom. I don't know enough about that side and can't guarantee to make the correct decision, so the attack activity is temporarily shelved, but the investigation can be started first. Does anyone have any opinions?"

"No opinion."

"I agree!"

"Alright... I still wanted to burn a big one."

"……"

"Since everyone has no objections, let's stop here for today's meeting!"

One was that he hadn't thought about how to arrange these rebel members, and the other was that he had thought of a way to strip the 【Gate of the Other Side】. Li Ang simply stopped waiting for Senior Ai Ma, who was late, and turned to directly make the decision to disband:

"If there is nothing else that needs to be discussed, while the 'door' opened by Joshua hasn't closed yet, everyone go back first. After there is some progress on the investigation regarding the Landing Tower, we will gather again... Also, Phoebe and Lucy, please stay."

Us?

After hearing the new leader's request, the old woman, who looked very old, was slightly startled, then nodded, holding her sister who was still sleeping soundly, and didn't move. The other five rebel members, with full expectations in their eyes, followed Li Ang's request and passed through the "door" to leave the conference room one after another.

Hey... it's worrying...

Looking at the backs that left with full expectations, Li Ang couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyebrows.

These core members of the rebels, although they cannot be considered bad people, have also done quite a few bad things under Joshua's blind command. He doesn't have the qualification to forgive them on behalf of those victims, but it's not easy to really kill them according to the kingdom's laws.

After all, they themselves are also victims. Except for Joshua's blind command, after being induced by the Aquarius Director to gestate anomalous objects, with the rapid increase in infection value, the bias and hatred in their hearts have expanded wildly, naturally making it difficult to control their own behavior.

Should I... wait for the director to finish participating in the inquiry and ask if these people meet the recruitment standards of the Virgin Branch? In order to protect the normal world, risking a mortality rate of nearly ten percent and doing work against anomalies, it can also be considered as making up for their crimes?

"Leader?"

Looking at Li Ang, whose expressions were changing constantly and whose eyes were quite complex, the old woman Lucy couldn't help but ask:

"You kept us sisters, is there any difficult matter that needs us to do?"

"There is indeed a matter that needs your help."

Li Ang nodded:

"Your grandson... uh... your sister Phoebe, should have used an anomalous object under Nathan's request some time ago to clear many people's memories. Can you let her lift that effect?"

"I can, this is not troublesome."

After hearing Li Ang's request, Lucy nodded and agreed directly, but after looking at little Phoebe who was sleeping in her arms, she couldn't help but ask:

"Leader, if possible, can we wait until my sister wakes up before I let her lift that ability?"

"You don't know, the last time her ability was used was too excessive. Sleeping is actually recovering spirit and stabilizing the soul. If she doesn't get enough rest, I'm afraid she will..."

"No hurry, it's the same to wait until she wakes up to lift it. Also..."

Li Ang, who had already checked the soul state of these two sisters through the soul vision of the Black Goat and had a count in his heart, thought for a while and reminded:

"Your abilities are relatively special. You can pay extra costs to exert effects far beyond your own infection value... hmm... far beyond your own upper limit. Only after excessive consumption will you become like this."

"During this period of time, as long as it is not necessary, try to use your anomalous abilities less. I will think of a way for you. Maybe there is still a chance to change back."

What?!

After hearing Li Ang's words, Lucy, who looked old and unlike a normal person, was overjoyed. At this moment, she couldn't care about the familiarity with the operation rules of anomalous abilities that clearly didn't belong to "Little Bagins," and asked with a trembling voice in disbelief:

"Lea, Leader, what you said is true? My sister and I can really change back to our original appearance?"

"I can."

Li Ang, who had already asked the Black Goat, nodded and answered very firmly:

"This process should be reversible, but the recovery time will be very long, and it is impossible to fully recover. In the end, there will still be some problems."

"For example, your physical state will still be a bit more aged than normal people, and your sister's psychological age will also be much more childish than her peers, but her appearance should be able to recover."

"Enough, enough! This is enough!"

After touching her face full of wrinkles, the old Lucy burst into tears of joy. Large tears fell along the grooves on her face, wetting the neat braids on little Phoebe's head.

"We... don't need to be exactly the same as normal people. As long as we can change back a little, it's enough! Leader! Thank you! Thank you!"

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

……

After smiling and sending away the tearfully grateful Lucy, looking at the conference room that had become empty again, Li Ang walked silently to Joshua, who was lying on a pile of broken wood, and couldn't help but kick him hard in the butt.

You really have done quite a few rotten things!

Clearly holding the script of a cool male lead who has been reborn in the past to save everything, but doing the work of a third-rate villain who goes around attacking and destroying, and except for pitting people, has done nothing. You really are...

Hmm... forget it, I haven't personally experienced what he experienced, so saying these things is a bit like standing and talking without back pain, but this kick still has to be kicked!

After resisting the urge to spit on this guy, Li Ang took out a rope and tied him up, then took off the watch that could detect "aptitude" and threw it into the small mirror, then reached out to tap the mirror surface and called Youha out.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Senior Ai Ma come yet?"

"Woof! Woof woof woof!"

(Not here! She's not in the Cleanup Bureau!)

Senior Ai Ma is not here?

After hearing Youha's report, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

Before the director left to participate in the inquiry, she promised herself that she would let Senior Ai Ma sit in the bureau to ensure that she could support herself at any time.

And with Senior Ai Ma's serious and responsible personality, general matters absolutely could not make her "neglect her duty," so... was there an "anomaly" that launched a large-scale attack in the capital? Or did something happen to her daughter?

"Woof woof woof, woof woof!"

(She's not here, but there's a letter for you on her desk!)

Since she still had the opportunity to leave a letter, the situation shouldn't be too dangerous, right?

After hearing Youha's words, Li Ang felt slightly relieved, then took the envelope with Youha's tooth marks, opened it, and read it at a glance.

"Li Ang, about an hour after you and the director left, investigators from the General Bureau came over, saying that several great nobles who betrayed the Baohua family had died, and there were traces similar to my 'Execution Platform' on their bodies, requiring me to go to the General Bureau to cooperate with the investigation."

"The incident happened suddenly, I had no choice, so I could only find a way to bypass the investigators and leave a letter for Jerry's 'friends,' asking him to sit in the bureau on my behalf and take on the task of supporting you, but his previous work hasn't ended yet, and it's hard to receive the news before that."

"And if you see this letter, it proves that you should have encountered danger. Please be sure to hold on for two days! He will definitely arrive in two days!"

……

Damn Aquarius Director!

After reading Senior Ai Ma's letter, Li Ang's face turned black, knowing that this was probably another trick by the Aquarius Director.

He and the director were thinking about taking advantage of the Aquarius Director's absence to come over and copy the rebels' old nest, but the Aquarius Director was not idle either. If his guess was correct, he should have used a method similar to Senior Ai Ma's to kill Senior Ai Ma's enemy in advance.

And his purpose was mostly to take advantage of the director's absence and Senior Ai Ma being investigated to send people to raid the Cleanup Bureau and get the photo in the director's drawer. As for the candidate to raid the Cleanup Bureau...

Tsk...

Looking at the six-needle watch in the mirror world that was shaking non-stop as soon as it got in and was desperately sticking to the "photo," Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue.

No need to guess, this candidate must be Joshua, and this watch is a tool to find the 'photo.' I can only say that fortunately, he usurped the throne quickly and personally took down Joshua in advance, otherwise...

Hmm... otherwise, even if he went, he could only steal a fake photo.

After confirming that this incident was safe, Li Ang couldn't help but smile, then couldn't help but kick his brother-in-law, who was plotting with the Aquarius Director, again.

I can only say that in terms of being cunning, his own director is not inferior to the Aquarius Director, and can even be considered a step higher. Not only did she create a fake in advance, but she also preemptively sent him over to end the rebels' old nest.

In addition, Joshua being caught was an unexpected joy. Although with conventional means, as long as you touch the 【Gate of the Other Side】, that thing will run away directly, but there is still Senior Jerry, this "master thief," in the bureau. The Aquarius Director probably won't be able to keep this thing.

Thinking of being able to steal the thing that has the greatest impact on a person's destiny, Li Ang couldn't help but look up at the 【Gate of the Other Side】, which had not been closed after Lucy and her sister left, and revealed a smile of being determined to win.

If we talk about the thing that has the greatest impact on Joshua's destiny... besides it, I'm afraid there is nothing else, right?
