Chapter 869

Indeed, the Blood-Haired Maiden came really fast. If she had come any later, the two of them might have been digested completely.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, the female reporter nodded and prepared to follow him to return the same way from the Dog God's big mouth. However, before the two had gone far, Li Ang stumbled under his feet and fell down with a thud.

Damn...

Sensing that something was wrong, Li Ang lowered his head and looked at his legs, then he helplessly discovered that his two legs had become almost completely transparent and could no longer support the 'weight' of his body.

Think about it, it's also true.

When the Dog God was still alive, its pitch-black stomach wall was secreting digestive fluid that could erode the soul at all times. He just raised his hand and punched its stomach wall twice, and his right hand became more than half transparent directly.

And after he was swallowed by the Dog God, his feet had been in contact with its secretions all along. The speed of his legs' 'transparency' would of course only be faster. It was already not bad that he could support his body until now.

"Let me walk in front."

After pulling Li Ang up from the ground, looking at his soul, which had become transparent all over, the female reporter couldn't help but shake her head:

"My soul has been digested by nearly thirty percent, and your soul strength is much worse than mine. It is estimated that it has already been digested by sixty or seventy percent by the Dog God. With your current soul strength, you will collapse on the spot if you are scratched by the Dog God's teeth."

"Alright..."

After listening to the female reporter's words, Li Ang couldn't help but nod helplessly, then followed behind the female reporter and drilled into the Dog God's spacious esophagus.

However, the moment he followed behind the female reporter and was about to drill out from the Dog God's throat, the female reporter in front didn't know what kind of madness she had, her right foot suddenly kicked back with force, directly stepping Li Ang back.???

No? What are you doing?

Just as Li Ang, who had been kicked for no reason, felt anger rising from his heart and was preparing to ask what she wanted to do, he heard the female reporter outside say loudly with incomparable horror:

"Aquarius? You... why are you here?!"

Aquarius?

Upon hearing the female reporter's shout, Li Ang's brain couldn't help but buzz, and it became completely chaotic.

So the one who came to save people wasn't my Director, but your Director?

"Nicole..."

Not knowing what happened in the Dog God's stomach, looking at the female reporter who was looking at him with full vigilance, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but sigh, and a little fatigue appeared in his young eyes.

"Are you already unwilling to call me Director even once?"

"..."

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's question, the female reporter's lips trembled slightly, but then she bit them hard, pursed her lips and looked at him, saying nothing.

"Forget it, don't call me if you don't want to."

Looking at the female reporter, whose expression no longer had the closeness of the past, but was full of vigilance and defense, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but sigh again, then instructed with some fatigue:

"I'm leaving. When the Blood-Haired Maiden finds her way here, don't say you've seen me, just say you don't know anything. I used other means to finish it off, and the Cleanup Bureau's investigators won't be able to find out."

"..."

"Also, you don't need to hide the information about me.

When the people from the Virgo Branch ask you, just tell the truth. You don't need to be afraid that that information will affect me, because from the moment I let you lurk in the capital, the information you knew was already all fake.

But I have specifically left some traces in the places pointed to by those fake intelligence reports, as well as the safe houses and laboratories you know. If the people from the Cleanup Bureau check according to the intelligence, they will find that I have just left, and they can also have some 'key' gains. No one will suspect that you gave fake intelligence."

"Why?"

After listening to the Aquarius Director's somewhat incoherent instructions, the female reporter touched the antler mark on her head and couldn't help but ask:

"Director... didn't you do something to my soul for the sake of confidentiality, making me sent into the Dead Realm once I opened my mouth? Then why do you still arrange these things?"

"..."

The Aquarius Director was silent for a while upon hearing this, then said with some helplessness:

"Nicole, although you are an excellent Cleanup Agent, your talent is all in dealing with anomalous objects. When you encounter things that need to be pondered about people, your brain is really not ordinarily bad!

Not to mention anything else, if it were that Level 3 Cleanup Agent from the Virgo Branch, I estimate that as long as he saw me appear here, even if I closed my mouth and said nothing, he should have been able to guess seven or eight out of ten."

"..."

If you are talking about Li Ang... then he is indeed here, less than two meters away from me, and can even hear the content of our conversation...

"Forget it, I'd better explain it to you."

Looking at the female reporter who was still full of confusion, worried that she would tell everything to the Blood-Haired Maiden because she couldn't figure it out, the Aquarius Director had to sigh:

"If I have to explain it clearly... being sent into the Dead Realm doesn't necessarily mean death. Although this trip is dangerous, it is actually a good thing for you.

According to my arrangement, if it weren't for the three-headed Dog God suddenly waking up and inexplicably eating you, you would only be pulled to the vicinity of the 【Mirror Lake of Burial Clothes】 and stop, and wouldn't be sent to the deepest part of the Dead Realm.

And only after the Blood-Haired Maiden finds her way here and deals a heavy hand because of your betrayal of me, and you 'just a little bit' die completely, can you truly cut ties with me and not be executed as a traitor by the Cleanup Bureau... Do you understand what I mean?"

Meaning... the Director actually didn't prepare to kill me?

"You are really..."

Looking at the female reporter who seemed to understand something, but whose eyes were still full of doubts, the Aquarius Director had to remind her further:

"My goal is to replace the Taurus Director and become the palace sitter who ascends to the Watchtower. Then after I successfully ascend to the palace, what will be your result? Have you thought about this?"

"I..."

"Don't think about it, I'm not asking you a question. It doesn't matter if you have thought about it or not. When that time really comes, your result will only be death, and it will even be more miserable than death."

Shaking his head helplessly, the Aquarius Director continued:

"Just consider it as looking at the friendship of these twenty years, I can't bear to see you die so stupidly, so I tried to arrange a way out for you, ensuring that after I ascend to the palace, you can still live so stupidly.

And anything involving the Watchtower is not a small matter. If you want to not be held accountable because of me, there must be someone above the Zodiac Director to plead for you, otherwise your ending will definitely not be good."

When he reached this point, the Aquarius Director paused, then said somewhat unhappily:

"Although the Blood-Haired Maiden ruined my affairs, I have to admit that she is indeed a good person. And among those who are qualified to plead for you, only she would stand up to guarantee you because of the simple reason that 'you are a good person'.

Similarly, although your resume is very clean, after all, you rebelled against the Bureau with me, and only she and her Virgo Branch full of weirdos could possibly accommodate you, a traitor... Do you understand now?"

"Seems to understand..."

"If you understand, hurry back, and then bite to death that you don't know anything and haven't seen anything. Don't say a single word of extra nonsense! The fact that you can escape death so coincidentally is the biggest suspicious point itself. At this time, saying more will only lead to more mistakes!"

After pointing to the Dog God's corpse, the Aquarius Director rubbed his brows and said with a headache:

"The Blood-Haired Maiden is very cunning, and that Level 3 Cleanup Agent sometimes has more thoughts than her. With your brain, I don't expect you to be able to hide it forever. It's enough if you can hold on until I ascend to the palace and then expose it.

But they are not difficult to deal with. Remember, as long as you continue to be your good person, even if they notice something is wrong, they definitely won't touch you, and may even choose to help you hide it."

"Good..."

"Then I'm leaving... don't forget my words!"

Looking at the female reporter, who finally understood his arrangement and whose expression became extremely complicated, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but shake his head, gave an instruction, and then turned around to prepare to leave.

But before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He suddenly turned his head and stared at the female reporter, who had let out a sigh of relief:

"By the way, there should be another soul who entered the Dead Realm with you. Who is that soul?"
