Chapter 867

"You say you're not sick..."

Not knowing what happened outside, Li Ang, who had entered the dog's stomach a step earlier, caught the female reporter who had fallen from the other esophagus, and then complained speechlessly:

"It already said you could go back, so why didn't you just go back honestly? Why are you meddling blindly? Wouldn't it be better if you went back and called for reinforcements? At the very least, you could pass the news back, tell the Director how I died, and let her avenge me.

Now it's good, you meddled like this, and it turned into a buy-one-get-one-free, and you came in with me to feed the dog. This dog thing is instead full to the brim, it's a cheap bargain for it!"

"..."

After listening to Li Ang's complaints, the female reporter couldn't help but fall into silence.

It seems... that's indeed the case... but...

Touching the blood-red antler mark on her forehead, the female reporter's eyes couldn't help but dim slightly, and her emotions visibly dropped.

She felt that the reason she had been impulsive and made such an immature move, apart from feeling that she really owed the other party, was probably also because of this mark.

When she was caught by the Blood-Haired Maiden in the Dream Realm, she was truly prepared to use this life to repay the Director's upbringing, but the Director actually left a backup plan in her soul. Once she wanted to leak information, her soul would be sent into the Dead Realm immediately.

He didn't trust her at all... hmm... but him not trusting her couldn't be considered wrong either. After all, she was indeed preparing to reveal some information under the torture of guilt. He let her down, but she also let him down.

"Alright, don't just stand there."

Looking at the female reporter who had almost written the word 'autistic' directly on her face, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly, then urged:

"While we haven't been digested yet, hurry up and think if there's any other way!

Most of my anomalous objects have 'physical entities', and now they are all on the side of my physical body and can't be brought over. Do you have any anomalous objects that can take effect along with the soul and be carried together? If you have any, report them quickly, let me see if I can let us hold on for a while longer!"

"Haven't you given up yet?"

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the female reporter raised her head and said somewhat blankly:

"We have already been swallowed by the Dog God. Even if it is weak, it is still True God level. The life level is different from ours, we can't resist. Even if we go out, we won't be its opponent."

"Then you have to try before giving up, right?"

Looking at the female reporter who had started to 'face death calmly' again, Li Ang suddenly felt a headache and had to try hard to persuade her:

"Be optimistic, we might not necessarily die yet.

Think about it, if the Director discovers that there is no movement and comes to check the situation, she will definitely be able to discover that our souls are gone. And as long as she finds her way here, it will be this dead dog's turn to be unlucky."

"Apologies, this possibility is not high."

The female reporter shook her head upon hearing this and said:

"【Slaughtering Blood Hair】 occupies too much of the Blood-Haired Maiden's energy. She is not good at things related to the soul. Even if she discovers that our souls have disappeared, she may not be able to immediately associate it with the Dead Realm and won't be able to come so quickly."

"..."

"Taking a step back, even if there are people in your bureau who are sensitive to the soul and detect traces from the Dead Realm, they won't think of the Dog of Death guarding the gate, but will only go deep into the Dead Realm immediately."

After pointing to the antler mark on her forehead, the female reporter explained with somewhat low emotions:

"This is the authority mark of the 【Flesh-Eating Doe】. People who can detect traces of the Dead Realm will definitely be able to perceive this too.

And even if the Blood-Haired Maiden can find the Dead Realm, the first time she will rush to the 【Black Forest of Corpse Soil】 and the 【Mirror Lake of Burial Clothes】, directly looking for the 【Flesh-Eating Doe】 to ask for people, and won't stay at the Gate of the Dead and the Dog God Angxi for too long, let alone think that we have been eaten."

"..."

"Apologies, I know you are not reconciled, but under the current situation, there is indeed no point in struggling."

Looking at Li Ang, who had been completely silenced by her analysis, the female reporter couldn't help but say with a look of guilt:

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had so many painful pasts, wouldn't have joined the Cleanup Bureau, and wouldn't have been implicated and sent into the Dead Realm. It's all my fault, I let you down."

"..."

Can we stop mentioning that "painful past"? It's very awkward, okay...

Feeling uncomfortable all over from the female reporter's overly sincere apology, Li Ang was silent for a while, then simply said:

"If you think so, since we are going to die anyway, instead of being digested bit by bit, it's better to make a fuss while we aren't dead yet! Even if it's just to make this dead dog uncomfortable for a while, in short, we can't let it be so comfortable!"

"That could work..."

Looking at Li Ang, who still hadn't given up even at this point and was thinking about a counterattack, a look of admiration flashed in the female reporter's eyes, then she said:

"Most of the anomalous objects on me also have 'physical objects', which were confiscated when I was caught by the Blood-Haired Maiden. Only two things are exceptions, one of which is these hands of mine."

After raising her palms, which were emitting white fluorescence, the female reporter explained:

"This thing is called 【Untouchable Hands】, and the ability is..."

"It is to be able to touch anything below the True God level, or to put it another way, although it looks like it is 'touching' with hands, it will not produce any substantial contact, and it is always a little bit off, so no matter what you touch, you won't be harmed... right?"

"How did you?"

"I have shaken hands with you."

Li Ang explained:

"And as long as I touch an anomalous object, I can know the corresponding information... What about the second one? What is the second anomalous object you brought?"

"The second anomalous object..."

The female reporter hesitated upon hearing this, then looked into Li Ang's eyes and said:

"My name is Nicole... long time no see, do you remember me?"

"???"

What long time no see, what are you going crazy about?

Upon hearing the female reporter's question, Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly startled. However, before he could ask, some scattered memory fragments quietly awakened from the depths of his memory.

Before he moved out of Veteran's Alley, a girl named Nicole seemed to live next door. When he was so sick he couldn't get out of bed, she had taken care of him for Anna;

When he was doing the work of breaking ice and pulling tow ropes in the deep winter, and was frozen unconscious by the ice water and carried home with blue lips, Anna happened to go out to buy bread, and it was she who saved him and cooked him a bowl of hot soup;

And even later, when Anna was suddenly critically ill, he entrusted William and Melanie to her, carried Anna to the hospital, and then borrowed some money from her to pay the bed fee at the Red Brick Road Hospital...

Wait! Is there something wrong somewhere?
