Chapter 866

Ah, this...

Looking at the female reporter who had pulled him out of the dog's mouth and even threatened to be eaten in his stead, Li Ang, after being stunned for a while, was truly a bit moved.

Although he had long known from his soul vision that the female reporter's moral standards were not low, her being able to do something like sacrificing herself for him was still a bit beyond Li Ang's expectations.

"Why are you replacing me?"

Looking at the female reporter who was pulling him desperately, Li Ang said with a toothache:

"We aren't on the same side, right? You were caught back by our Director, and if it weren't for me interrogating you, you might not have triggered the Aquarius Director's backup plan and been thrown directly into the Dead Realm... In short, why are you dying for me? Just because you feel you owe me?"

"I... perhaps..."

After shouting on impulse, the female reporter seemed a bit hesitant, but as soon as she thought of the "unimaginable great pain" Li Ang had suffered because of her "indulgence" of the Aquarius Director, her attitude became firm again.

"Lord Angxi!"

In the somewhat confused gaze of the three-headed Dog God, the female reporter spoke again:

"You said before that I could go back. Now I'm not leaving, you let him go back!"

"..."

No... you're acting so righteous, then what have I become?

Looking at the female reporter who kept offering to be fed to the dog in his stead and was preparing to "generously go to her death", Li Ang couldn't hold it together anymore.

Being able to live is certainly good, but if the price is "tricking" someone else into dying for him, then he would probably not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life. Every time he thought of today's events, he would have to slap himself twice!

Count it as my bad luck...

Looking at the female reporter who was pulling him desperately, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If this person had done more bad things, it would be fine. In that case, even if he tricked her into dying for him, he wouldn't have any psychological burden.

However, his bad luck was precisely that she was not a bad person. Apart from choosing to hide information about the Watchtower because of the Aquarius Director's upbringing, she really didn't have any major faults. If he really just fooled her like this, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Tsk... thinking about it carefully, karma really comes fast.

Clearly, he had been trying his best to provoke her guilt to find out information about the Aquarius Director, but now, in a flash, the tables had turned, and it was his turn to be tortured by the guilt in his heart.

"Forget it, you don't need to replace me."

After trying to pry the female reporter's fingers off and failing, Li Ang, who really couldn't get past this hurdle in his heart, had to explain awkwardly:

"Although I have a vendetta with the Aquarius Director, I'm actually not much of a victim, and I haven't suffered any pain. All those things before were lies to you."

It was all a lie to me?!

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the female reporter couldn't help but widen her eyes, and the palm grabbing Li Ang's arm also loosened slightly.

But as soon as she thought of Li Ang's eyes full of pain, her expression became firm again. She grabbed Li Ang's arm tightly again, shook her head with stubborn eyes, and said:

"I don't believe it! Over the years, I have seen many people struggling in pain. Their eyes are just like yours, and none of them are more painful than you. This kind of feeling cannot be acted out!"

"..."

Ah, this... sorry, that was really acted out by me...

Seeing that she didn't believe him even after he explained, Li Ang had to switch to a more brutal method, staring directly and shouting:

"Let go of me!"

"No!"

"This is my business! You don't need to worry about it!"

"Being willing to replace you is also my business!"

"..."

Damn, this dialogue is really not ordinarily stupid...

Discovering that the current situation was heading all the way towards a 2B soap opera, Li Ang, who couldn't hold it together, decisively turned his head to look at the three-headed Dog God, preparing to completely end this stupid soap opera.

"Hurry up! Which one are you eating?"

"Me, ah..."

Facing Li Ang's stern questioning, the three-headed Dog God blinked his six eyes, then shook his three heads, imitated Li Ang's previous tone, and asked back with a giggle:

"You say, is there such a possibility that I can eat both of you together?"

"..."

"..."

"Alright, it seems you have no other questions, then I'm starting."

In the somewhat confused expressions of Li Ang and the other, the three-headed Dog God, who had been watching the fun for a long time, grinned, attacked from both sides, and swallowed them both in one bite without even chewing.

"Two idiots."

After evaluating the intelligence of Li Ang and the other, feeling the two souls in his stomach with unusually high quality, the three-headed Dog God licked his nose, then lazily yawned, and lay back down in the giant dog kennel beside the Gate of the Dead with three satisfied faces.

Although logically speaking, one shouldn't lie down immediately after eating, especially since the two souls just eaten included a genuine Level 1 Cleanup Agent, which counted as a big meal and should ideally be followed by a stroll to speed up digestion.

But for the three-headed Dog God, days of eating until full and sleeping after waking up were the supreme happiness. It wouldn't hurt to digest a bit slowly, not to mention that when there was something in his stomach, he often slept more soundly... Hmm?

Seemingly having smelled some strange scent, the three-headed Dog God, who had just been full of laziness, suddenly raised his neck. The six ears on his three heads stood up instantly, and his six basketball-sized nostrils also expanded to the maximum, taking a deep breath suddenly.

It was a strange scent, but also a little familiar.

Judging by the intensity, it should be True God level, but it didn't have the fanatical stimulating scent of a True God, nor the rotten stench of an Evil God. If one said it was a person, it carried the flickering scent of a Dream Realm creature...

"Hiss!"

Accompanied by a light sound like paper tearing, a small paper cutter was revealed from the fog outside the Gate of the Dead, then pulled fiercely towards the lower diagonal, tearing out a huge gap.

Immediately after, a young man wearing water-blue robes stepped in from the black and white gap, stood in front of the three-headed Dog God, and asked with some surprise:

"Angxi? Why are you awake before I even entered the gate?"

"..."

"Oh, you might not recognize me anymore."

Smiling at the three-headed Dog God, who had a confused expression, the Aquarius Director explained with a gentle demeanor:

"I had some trouble recently, so I had no choice but to change into a new body. Many old friends don't recognize me anymore."

"So who exactly are you..."

"I am Camus... hmm, also the former Aquarius Director of the Cleanup Bureau."

Aquarius? Aren't you dead?!

Upon hearing the blue-robed youth's words, the three-headed Dog God was suddenly shocked, then bared his teeth with a vigilant expression.

"Do you want to enter the Dead Realm?"

"Yes, I indeed have something to go in and see."

After sizing up the situation around him and seeing the traces of two shoes dragging on the ground, the Aquarius Director asked with some curiosity:

"Did someone else come before me? No wonder you were awake directly... By the way, where are the people who came just now? Were they eaten by you?"

"Cut the crap! Let's do it directly!"

After slightly lowering his body and assuming a posture of wanting to pounce, the three-headed Dog God bared his teeth and said:

"My duty is to guard the gate. If you want to enter the Dead Realm, you have to defeat me first!"

"Hmm, hmm, I know the process."

Upon hearing this, the Aquarius Director nodded with a smile, then crossed his hands and fingers, and pressed down hard towards the bottom. Only a loud bang was heard, and the three-headed Dog God's body, which was like a small hill, was instantly pressed down by an invisible giant force, lying on the ground unable to move.

Damn God-Covering Forked Fingers! Damn Aquarius Director!

Facing the secret technique specially used for bullying the weak, the three-headed Dog God, who was already the weakest True God in the Dead Realm, really didn't even have a chance to fight back. He had no choice but to lie on the ground and groan while cursing the Aquarius Director in his heart, hoping he would be finished off by the Cleanup Bureau soon, however...

"By the way, Angxi."

Looking at the three-headed Dog God lying on the ground, the Aquarius Director pondered for a moment, but did not pass by it as he had done in the past. Instead, he stood in front of the three-headed Dog God and informed him somewhat shyly:

"Because every time I want to enter the Dead Realm, I have to fight you once, which really feels a bit troublesome, so I'm preparing to change the method and solve this problem permanently once and for all."

Hmm?

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's words, the three-headed Dog God was slightly stunned, then said somewhat blankly:

"My duty is to guard the gate. How are you preparing to solve this problem? Could it be... that you can create an anomalous object that allows me to be exempted from the duty of guarding the gate?"

"Apologies, that won't work."

The Aquarius Director shook his head upon hearing this and said:

"Your guarding the gate is also one of the rules of the Dead Realm. If you want to change it, the price to pay is really too great. I still want to use a simpler method... Sorry."

"???"

In the three-headed Dog God's somewhat blank expression, the Aquarius Director smiled apologetically at him, and immediately after, a small paper cutter quietly sank into the three-headed Dog God's skull, churning unscrupulously inside.

"I've thought about it, it's still more convenient to just kill you directly."
