Chapter 894

~8 min read 1,428 words

Naturally failing to obtain information on the location of King Crook's palace, Li Ang helplessly curled the corners of his mouth.

Expecting a gain but finding nothing, Li Ang was too lazy to explain to a hijacker that the palace of the Kingdom of Crook actually moves; after simply straightening his wrinkled clothes upon standing, he sat back down in his seat.

Meanwhile, the female reporter who had been listening the whole time, her cheeks flushed red from holding back laughter, pressed her lips tightly and leaned over, asking in a low voice, somewhat unable to hold back her amusement:

"Why talk so much to him? Just knock him down directly, wouldn't that be better?"

"I certainly have the ability to knock him down directly, but if, after encountering a situation, the first reaction is not to use one's brain first, but to subconsciously rely on force, one easily becomes... um..."

Speaking to this point, Li Ang subconsciously paused slightly, glanced at the female reporter, then withdrew his gaze and continued without changing his expression:

"One easily becomes a reckless fool with a brain that doesn't work well, so I must try to solve problems using wisdom as much as possible."

"..."

Damn it! You talk, you talk, but you stop halfway through your sentence, then glance at me—what does that mean?

"By the way."

Under the female reporter's somewhat annoyed gaze, Li Ang turned his head slightly, looking at the hijacker brother sitting beside the seat who was somewhat dazed, and asked:

"I remember that at the beginning, you said this airship was taken over by 'us', so you should have an accomplice, right? Where is your accomplice?"

My accomplice...

Hearing Li Ang's words, the hijacker brother's expression suddenly froze, then he shook his head hurriedly and said:

"You remembered wrong, I have no accomplice at all!"

Alright, not only is there an accomplice, but the accomplice should also be hiding among the passengers and hasn't stood up yet.

Hearing this, Li Ang nodded, but did not continue to ask, instead reaching back to touch the goat horn protruding from his cufflink, then quickly scanned the souls inside the airship.

As expected, after the hijacking crisis was resolved by his few words, while most people didn't dare to speak, they were secretly relieved in their souls, except for one soul full of indignation and anxiety, which was as conspicuous as the xenon headlights of a heavy truck cab.

"His accomplice is you, isn't it?"

Turning to look at a young girl in somewhat plain clothing sitting three rows away from him, Li Ang asked with a smile:

"And it seems you are actually the 'mastermind'? He is just the one responsible for doing the work? Considering he protects you so much, and you two look somewhat alike... are you siblings?"

"..."

This person... is so terrifying!

Facing Li Ang, who was clearly smiling gently but seemed to have a demonic shadow dancing behind him, making one's heart tremble repeatedly, the girl on the seat did not answer, but stood up directly, pulled out a second homemade nail gun, gritted her teeth, and aimed at Li Ang, saying:

"You are a big shot, right? If you don't want a hole opened on your head, then immediately send your people to the control room to take over this airship for us!"

"But this airship is automatic..."

"Stop lying!"

The equally thin young girl shouted angrily:

"If it were just simply recording weather, would you need to leave seven or eight people in the control room? Even if this airship is truly on autopilot, those people in the control room must have a way to adjust the course!"

Tsk, she actually figured it out; this child feels a bit smarter than the hijacker brother.

"?!?!"

Hearing the young girl's words, the hijacker brother immediately jumped up from the ground, looking at Li Ang with eyes full of shock and anger.

"You lied to me?"

"I didn't lie to you, I just didn't tell you all the situations. Besides..."

After replying to the hijacker brother, turning to look at the hijacker sister, who was thin and small, feeling two years younger than Anna, Li Ang raised an eyebrow and said:

"You seem a bit smarter than your brother, so you should know that the location of the Kingdom of Crook's palace is not fixed, right?"

"How to find the palace is none of your business!"

After looking at Li Ang with some apprehension, the hijacker sister held up the gun, gritted her teeth, and said:

"What you need to do now is send people to the control room to take over the control of the airship, otherwise I will shoot you dead!"

"But if I listen to you, won't I still die?"

Li Ang asked in return:

"You two are preparing to use this airship for a suicide attack; as a passenger staying on it, in the end, won't I still die?"

"As long as you obediently listen, you won't die!"

Seeing that Li Ang still did not cooperate, the hijacker sister couldn't help but flip the safety on the nail gun, bit her lip, and shouted angrily:

"We have checked; there are twelve sets of safety boats with buoyant airbags under the rear cabin, enough for everyone on board to evacuate. As long as you cooperate with us obediently, no one on the airship will die!"

Hmm, this sentence is actually the truth...

After looking at the hijacker sister's soul, Li Ang touched his chin thoughtfully.

"So when your brother wore a mask, you didn't stop him because you were preparing to let him continue living, while you, who can find the palace's location, would stay in his place..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing Li Ang, who had stripped her thoughts bare in just a few words, the hijacker sister, whose heart was becoming increasingly panicked, couldn't help but stomp her foot and said sharply:

"You are not allowed to speak anymore! Hurry up and send your people to the control room! Otherwise I will fire!"

"Then fire!"

Glancing at the nail gun in the hijacker sister's hand, Li Ang smiled and said:

"As long as you can fire the nail inside after pulling the trigger, I will immediately send people to take over the control room; you say where to go, we go there. How does that sound?"

"?!?!"

"It seems my guess was right; neither of your guns can actually fire."

Watching the hijacker sister whose lips moved twice and whose bright eyes flashed with a trace of despair, Li Ang smiled and said:

"I often handle guns too. Although the shells of your two guns seem fine on the outside, and even the rifling inside the muzzle has been replicated, the paint on the connection port is obviously wrong, and the size of the gas tank is also problematic; they are just two high-quality fake models.

Thinking about it, the kingdom's guards may be rotten, but they do their basic searches quite carefully; it's unlikely they would let someone bring a real gun on board, let alone two of them. They shouldn't be that incompetent yet."

What? They are actually fake guns?!?!

Seeing the robber girl's lips bitten white and the nail gun in her hand that had remained motionless for so long, the guests in the VIP cabin, who had been trembling in fear and dared not speak lest the robber siblings target them, finally began to make noise.

"That scared me to death..."

"It's actually fake!"

"You scoundrel! Holding two fake guns to scare people?"

And sitting beside the robber girl, a fat merchant wearing a silk outer robe, who looked to weigh nearly three hundred jin, suddenly jumped to his feet, extended a hand so fat it seemed oil would drip from it if squeezed, and slapped her hard:

"You damn... ah!"

"Nobody move!"

Taking three steps as two, he rushed over, kicked the fat merchant down first, then the robber brother pulled a small ox-horn knife from his chest, gestured twice at the surrounding passengers, and roared with stern voice and expression:

"I don't have a gun, but I have a knife! Whoever dares to touch my sister, I'll... uh..."

"So she really is your sister after all. Oh, right..."

Taking out a long-ignored sniper rifle from the Mirror World, Li Ang flicked off the safety with his index finger and asked with a smile in the robber brother's bewildered expression:

"Do you want to guess whether this gun of mine is real or fake?"
