Chapter 871

To be reasonable, I have no interest in this so-called deal, but the biggest problem right now is that I damn don't dare not to be interested...

After feeling the sharp cutting sensation on his neck, Li Ang was silent for a moment, then simply and neatly said 'hmm'.

Although it couldn't be determined yet whether there was any other evil behind the Aquarius Director's deal, the female reporter herself was indeed a good person.

Even if the resume could be forged, the personality could be disguised, and the reaction could be faked, all her reactions and soul fluctuations matched, so it shouldn't be fake. And for someone like her, if she were executed by the Cleanup Bureau because she was implicated by the Aquarius, it really wouldn't be appropriate.

"Very good."

After hearing Li Ang's response, the paper cutter that had cut into his neck finally stopped going deeper and started to withdraw.

But what the Aquarius Director completely didn't expect was that just as the blade was about to leave Li Ang's neck completely, a hand suddenly touched it and pressed the paper cutter back into Li Ang's neck.

"Wait!"

Li Ang, who had walked through the gates of hell, as if the person who was almost killed just now wasn't himself, pressed the paper cutter on his neck and, with the help of the connection between souls, pulled back without hesitation:

"Since you would rather let me go than protect Nicole's life, then are you willing to pay a little more to make her live better in our bureau?"

"..."

'Looking' from afar at the paper cutter pressed by Li Ang and listening to the question he raised, the Aquarius Director, who hadn't left but had hidden his figure, fell into silence.

From the perspective of strength, although the other party had some special points, he was ultimately just a Level 3 Cleanup Agent. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, he could kill him dozens or hundreds of times within a single breath.

But it was precisely this Level 3 Cleanup Agent who could ruin his affairs time and time again. Even if he had countless trump cards and had already gained the upper hand, when he encountered him, the situation would always be like this, slowly slipping out of his control...

"Speak."

Looking at the female reporter who was looking sad in the distance, the Aquarius Director was silent for a while, and finally suppressed the urge to go back on his word, speaking through the 【Silver Dagger of Cutting】:

"What do you want? Wealth and status, you should already have them within reach. Do you want powerful anomalous objects? Or a lifespan that exceeds the limits of humanity?"

"None of them, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's response, Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to press the back of the paper cutter and asked impatiently:

"Does that tin doll that attacked the palace have anything to do with you?"

"..."

"I just thought about it. That thing didn't act early or late, but acted just when the Director went to the Dream Realm. And the only one who could possibly know the Director's whereabouts, besides me, is you."

"..."

"Don't try to deny it, this matter is definitely your handiwork!"

Seeing that the Aquarius Director remained silent and the back of the paper cutter started to pull out again, Li Ang hurriedly pressed it and continued:

"Before you appeared, I was only suspicious, but after you appeared, I am now very certain that Nicole being caught was intentional on your part.

Besides finding a way out for her, you definitely also meant to lure the Director away and let that doll attack the palace. You and that mysterious organization, as well as that anomalous object called 【King-Slaughterer Three】, definitely have a relationship!"

"You could say that..."

Listening to Li Ang's unusually firm judgment, the Aquarius Director in the distance had no choice but to nod, then frowned:

"But I can't answer this question. You should have seen how that doll died. When I joined them, it was equivalent to signing my name on a certain contract-type anomalous object.

Once I betray and reveal key information, the power of other signatories will gather together and crush my physical body and soul completely through the bridge built by that contract-type anomalous object!"

Once you reveal the news, you will die?

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's words, Li Ang's brows couldn't help but jump violently.

If that's the case, as long as I prepare an anomalous object like a 'forced truth-telling agent', is it possible to trigger the effect of that anomalous object and directly finish off the Aquarius Director, or other members of that organization?

"Also, don't think about being able to use things like the 【Truth-Telling Balance】 to finish me off by triggering that anomalous object."

Just as Li Ang started to ponder about triggering a bug, as if he had seen through his plan, the Aquarius Director snorted coldly:

"Before I joined them, I used this method to finish off two of their members. Now, under my suggestion, they have already modified the effect of that anomalous object. Anomalous objects like the 【Truth-Telling Balance】 are already useless."

"..."

You damn... offshore hacker backhanding to patch vulnerabilities, reporting seeds as malicious after downloading movies, right?

After clicking his tongue in disappointment in his heart, Li Ang said with a straight face:

"No, I can't even protect myself now, how could I think about finishing you off?

I was just thinking, the antler symbol on Nicole's head should be the mark of one of the masters of the Dead Realm, the Flesh-Eating Doe, right? Could it be that it is also a member of that organization?"

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with it, and I haven't met it until now."

You aren't familiar with it?

Upon hearing the Aquarius Director's answer, Li Ang blinked, and immediately tasted the subtext.

The Aquarius Director said he wasn't familiar with the Flesh-Eating Doe, and hadn't even met it, but they 'trusted' each other enough to borrow its authority, so that Flesh-Eating Doe must also be a member of that organization.

Otherwise, where did the Aquarius Director deal with it? Did he shake it out through WeChat?

"I understand."

After nodding in understanding, Li Ang continued to press the paper cutter and asked:

"Then the next question..."

"I have already said enough!"

Clearly, holding a knife to Li Ang's neck was to facilitate threatening him, but now he was being questioned by Li Ang while pressing the back of the knife. Even with the Aquarius Director's city, he was somewhat annoyed.

"Just these two pieces of news alone, even if I went to talk to the Blood-Haired Maiden, would be enough for her to protect Nicole. Don't go too far!"

"The last one, I guarantee it's the last one!"

Li Ang, who had already figured out the Aquarius Director's Achilles' heel, hurriedly pressed the paper cutter that wanted to be pulled out, accompanied by a smiling face:

"And I'm not asking for nothing. You know, although I'm just a Level 3 Cleanup Agent, because I exposed your secret, in the eyes of the Cleanup Bureau's top brass, I am absolutely irreconcilable with you.

So if even I, the mortal enemy of the Aquarius, am willing to stand up and guarantee that Nicole is absolutely fine, proving that she was only implicated by you, then Nicole will be completely innocent. Don't you think so?"

"The last one..."
