Chapter 893: 490 The Humorous Hijacking (Part 1)

"Everyone sit down! No standing up!"

Unaware that two passengers of the highest caliber were sitting on the airship he had hijacked, the tall, thin robber wearing an old coat had just finished waving around a nail gun he somehow managed to bring on board. Then, he reached out to adjust his crooked face mask and shouted angrily:

"You are all my captives! Go change the course immediately! Or else I will..."

Pausing slightly here, the robber glanced around the VIP cabin, then naturally pointed the gun barrel at Li Ang—who was dressed in splendid robes, sitting in the best spot with a beautiful female companion beside him—and threatened in a harsh voice:

"Or else I'll shoot him!"

"..."

I knew I'd be the one they'd target...

Seeing the pitch-black gun barrel pointed at him, Li Ang fell silent for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

He wasn't afraid; setting aside the fact that Nicole was sitting beside him, the airship had only just left the capital's range, so his immortality was still functioning normally. Even if he took a bullet, nothing would happen.

What truly depressed him was that his unlucky, disaster-prone constitution was performing as consistently as ever.

He remembered that according to Senior Tom, the reason he was so unlucky was that the will of this world had judged him to be a "harmful" existence, constantly wanting to eliminate him.

But the way the world's will wanted to eliminate him wasn't some falling meteor; instead, it arranged this hijacking, sending a robber with a homemade nail gun to do the job. That was quite humorous...

"Hurry up!"

Apparently convinced that Li Ang was the highest-ranking person in the VIP cabin, the robber, whose hands were trembling, placed his finger on the trigger and threatened angrily, sweat beads covering his forehead:

"If you don't want to die, send your people to the control room to make the airship fly in the direction I say!"

"Mm-hmm."

Seeing the robber in front of him who was clearly extremely nervous, his face mask soaked with sweat and constantly sliding down, Li Ang, finding it somewhat amusing, kindly reminded him with a benevolent expression:

"Your mask is about to fall off; pull it up."

"Ah! Thank you..."

Hearing Li Ang's words, the robber instinctively adjusted his soaked face mask and even politely said thank you.

However, the next second he realized something was wrong. After understanding what stupid thing he had just done, the forehead exposed above the mask visibly turned red in seconds, and he immediately questioned in a rage:

"Are you mocking me?"

"I'm not mocking you; I was just kindly reminding you."

As a senior who had also hijacked airships, Li Ang couldn't help but speak up to criticize the new robber in front of him, whose technique was obviously somewhat "immature":

"What were you thinking when you chose that face-covering mask? How could you choose one that isn't breathable? You covered your mouth and nose so tightly, and you have to keep it on for several hours; aren't you suffocating?"

"I..."

"Also, your mask is made of thick gauze; it will loosen after being soaked in sweat. Even if you tied a dead knot at the back of your head, it will still slide down, forcing you to constantly hold it up. If you really intend to mask your face, actually buying a few pairs of thick stockings at the department store would be the most suitable."

"..."

Wait... does this person have a serious illness?

Seeing Li Ang, who was clearly being held at gunpoint but not only didn't panic and send subordinates to the control room to take over the airship, but instead started teaching him how to mask his face, the humorous robber, after a moment of confusion, couldn't help but fly into a rage:

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry and send your people to the control room! Make the airship fly as I say, or I'll shoot you!"

"Mm-hmm."

After giving the female reporter a look telling her not to move yet, Li Ang, having just decided to use more brain and less hands, first raised both hands in a surrendering gesture, then spoke with interest:

"I'll make a blind guess: have you never been to the airship's control room?"

Hearing this, the robber was slightly stunned, then cautiously countered:

"How do you know?"

Li Ang explained with some amusement:

"Because if you had been there, you would know that the main job of the people in the airship control room is actually weather recording. This thing is actually on autopilot; they don't need to fly it at all."???

Huh?!!!

Completely stunned by Li Ang's answer, the robber's mouth under the mask opened and closed slightly a couple of times, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

If this thing is on autopilot, then what exactly did I hijack?

"Also, if you don't mind, may I ask?"

Seeing the robber's somewhat dazed eyes, Li Ang asked calmly:

"What exactly is your purpose in hijacking this airship? Is it convenient to explain?"

"..."

"It's fine, just say it directly. Anyway, you hijacked it but can't change the course, so your goal is already unachievable.

Hmm... if you really don't want to say it, I can guess myself.

Considering you don't know the people in the VIP cabin, you probably aren't planning to hold hostages for ransom. So, are you planning to use this airship to threaten someone? Or... are you planning to use this airship to crash into somewhere?"

"I..."

Hearing Li Ang's words, the masked robber whose dreams had shattered fell silent for a while, then lowered the nail gun weakly and said in a low voice:

"I want to take revenge on the Croc Kingdom. I plan to use this airship to crash into the Croc Kingdom's royal palace..."

Ho...

Seeing the robber in front of him who was originally prepared to pull the plug, Li Ang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then said somewhat confusedly:

"Then how did you plan to escape from the airship at the beginning? Jump with a parachute in advance? Aren't you afraid that after you jump, someone else will change the course?"

"I didn't plan to run!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, as if triggered by some painful memories, the masked robber gritted his teeth and said:

"After boarding this airship, I never planned to get off again. Being able to exchange my one life for the entire royal family of the Croc Kingdom is worth it!"

"Mm-hmm, good momentum, but there's something I don't understand."

After nodding slightly, Li Ang asked curiously:

"Since you're not planning to live anyway, why bother wearing a mask?"

"..."

"That's right—I'm ready to die, so why am I still wearing a mask?"

Struck dumb by Li Ang's words, the masked bandit finally snapped out of it, tore off his soaked facecloth and flung it aside, then sank helplessly to his knees, covering his face and bursting into sobs.

To be honest, you're truly a talent.

Looking at the bandit who had cried himself silly beside him, Li Ang reached out and patted his shoulder, then shook his head and sighed:

"You can't just act on raw passion alone—even bandits need to study properly, and never forget to use your brain."

"Also, though I suspect you don't know this, I'll ask just one more thing… do you know where the Wang Gong of the Krook Kingdom is?"

Where's the Wang Gong?

Hearing Li Ang's question, the masked bandit fell silent, then replied blankly:

"Do I need to find it? Isn't the Wang Gong always the tallest, most beautiful building in the center of the kingdom?"

"..."

Good. I really didn't overestimate your intelligence.
