Chapter 865

"Well, um... long time no see..."

When the Aquarius Director left the King-Slaughtering Society meeting, Li Ang, who was being stepped on by an old acquaintance... an old dog acquaintance, was also trying hard to propose his departure.

"I've thought about it, I won't disturb your gatekeeping anymore..."

Looking at the three dog heads the size of a round dining table above him, and feeling the death breath rushing towards his face, Li Ang, whose scalp was tingling, couldn't help but laugh and negotiate:

"You also know that it's still office hours for the Cleanup Bureau. If I were to be absent from work without cause, our Director would definitely have an opinion, so see if you can let me..."

"No."

Before Li Ang could finish speaking, the Dog God refused his request without hesitation, then grinned and said:

"According to the rules of the Dead Realm, once you enter the gate, you belong to me! Also, don't think about using the Blood-Haired Maiden to pressure me. Although I really can't afford to provoke her, she wouldn't dare to really do anything to me.

Don't look at me as just a watchdog of the Dead Realm, but if it weren't for me, not only could the evil god believers who steal souls come and go as they please, but a large number of the dead would run back with full resentment, and the entire present world would be in chaos. Even if she is the Zodiac Director of the Cleanup Bureau, she couldn't accept this consequence!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, that's the logic."

Li Ang, whose life and death were in the hands of others... in the mouth of a dog, naturally wouldn't be blindly tough at this time. After nodding in agreement with the Dog God, Li Ang, in his soul state, had to try hard to persuade him:

"However, although you aren't afraid of her, there's no need to provoke her, right?

That woman over there and I just happened to have our souls separated from our bodies due to a sneak attack and accidentally entered the Dead Realm. It just so happens that your duty is to guard the gate and block those who shouldn't enter the Dead Realm from entering, so... why not let us go back?"

"Hmm, she did indeed enter by mistake and can go back."

After glancing at the female reporter's soul, the three-headed Dog God nodded, then grinned, baring a mouthful of interlocking sharp canine teeth, and said with a giggle:

"But you can't leave. You have to stay and stay well in my stomach~"

"On what grounds?"

"On the grounds that you were supposed to be a person of the Dead Realm in the first place."

As the three-headed Dog God spoke, he raised his huge dog head, signaling Li Ang to look at the sky above his head.

"The Death-Reporting Crows of normal living people should all be parked in the 【Death-Reporting Crow Nest】 near the entrance. As long as a soul enters the Dead Realm, his Death-Reporting Crow will wake up and guide him to the depths of the Dead Realm."

After finishing this 'common knowledge of the Dead Realm', looking at Li Ang, whose expression was somewhat nervous, the three-headed Dog God grinned with three dog mouths and said with a strange laugh:

"The Dead Realm is a place that values rules. All living souls must have a Death-Reporting Crow circling above their heads, which no one can avoid, except in two situations.

One is that this person has successfully crossed the boundary and become a True God-level existence, then his Death-Reporting Crow will fly away in advance, and the other... is that he has already died long ago, but escaped from the Dead Realm!"

"Uh..."

Li Ang was all too clear about the fact that his soul was a 'black household'. Looking at the three-headed Dog God's dog mouth, which was opening wider and getting closer, Li Ang, who was firmly pressed down by the dog's claws and couldn't move at all, had to try hard to argue:

"You say, is there such a possibility... that I am actually a True God?"

"Ga-ga~"

Amused by Li Ang's words, the three-headed Dog God gave a strange laugh twice, then three black, white, and gray tongues stretched out from the three dog mouths, each fiercely licking Li Ang once, and the overly abundant saliva flowed down as if it were free.

"You are really an interesting soul. The taste after eating you will probably be similar to jelly beans. I want to taste you even more now."

You really aren't a picky eater...

Upon hearing the three-headed Dog God's words, Li Ang, who was covered in saliva, couldn't help but shiver violently, but it wasn't because he was worried about being eaten by the dog, but simply because he was frozen.

Although the three-headed dog's saliva was clear and transparent, without any suspicious strange suspended matter, it carried an incomparably thick death aura, which almost froze Li Ang's soul stiff.

"This... isn't very good, is it?"

Looking at the huge dog mouth that was gradually approaching again after licking away the saliva that was flowing down like a stream, Li Ang, whose negotiations had failed, had to pray that the Director would discover something wrong quickly while trying hard to delay time:

"Jelly beans... count as snacks... eating this is bad for your health. How about... you eat something else? Can you let me go to the depths of the Dead Realm myself?

And you also said, the Dead Realm is a place that values... hiss... values rules, so according to the rules, you should let me continue... continue to walk inside, instead of eating me directly."

"Tsk, why do you talk so much?"

Looking at Li Ang, who was shivering from the cold but still stubbornly refusing to accept his fate, the three-headed Dog God couldn't help but click his tongue, then said with dissatisfaction:

"My duty is to guard the gate, don't let things that shouldn't enter the Dead Realm come in, and also don't let souls that should be in the Dead Realm go out. A soul like you that escaped is the greatest destruction of my duty. According to the rules, I should eat you!

Besides, I am responsible for guarding the entrance of the Dead Realm and generally cannot leave without authorization, but as a reward, when I am hungry, I am also qualified to eat any soul I take a fancy to. This is the rule of the Dead Realm. Today I ate you, and no one can say anything!"

"..."

Damn, I'm afraid I'm really going to be finished this time.

Looking at the three-headed Dog God, who was bent on 'tasting the flavor' no matter what he said, Li Ang only hated that he had come as a soul and not a physical body, and couldn't take a shit directly into its dog mouth to let it taste the flavor properly.

"Fine! Rules, right!"

Understanding that he was likely doomed today, Li Ang had no choice but to curse the old thief Aquarius in his heart while glaring at the three-headed Dog God, who was preparing to feast, and gritted his teeth fiercely:

"I've remembered your rules! I'll count this as my bad luck! But when you eat me, remember to chew me thoroughly. Even if there's a piece of bone fragment the size of a fingernail left, I will tear through your dog intestines!"

"Hehe, as you wish!"

After the three dog heads nodded in unison, the three-headed Dog God, who had long been impatient, opened his giant mouth with interlocking canine teeth and sucked fiercely at Li Ang, who was being stepped on by the dog's claws.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Li Ang's soul became slightly faint and was about to be 'sucked' in by the three-headed Dog God, a palm emitting white fluorescence suddenly grabbed over and pulled Li Ang's soul, which was floating up.???

Facing the surprised gazes of the man and the dog, the female reporter, who had a blood-red antler mark on her forehead, stood up unsteadily, grabbing Li Ang's soul by the arm.

After pulling Li Ang back with force, she, whose soul was torn by the antler mark and looked as if it might collapse at any moment, actually gasped and requested:

"Lord Angxi, if you want to eat, you can eat me. I am willing to trade with him!"
