Chapter 910: 508 Fairly Smooth

"Waaah, waaah, waaah."

After being grabbed by Hearing Li Ang and the female reporter and hacked three or four times each, the unlucky Philia finally seized an opportunity, clutched Hearing Li Ang's arm, and said with a crying voice:

"Stop hitting! I'll go with you, okay?"

"..."

Seeing the emerald-eyed girl's neck turn red, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but exchange an awkward glance with the female reporter, then explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"Your Highness Philia, this... don't blame us for hitting hard. Mainly, only after you lose consciousness can we put you inside the flower and take you away. So can you bear it a bit longer? I feel it should be about enough by now."

"Waaah, waaah, waaah, but the problem is I can't faint!"

After explaining her situation, Philia, with a red nose tip, said with tears welling in her eyes:

"My guards have all been defeated by you, the Cleaner responsible for protecting me has also been captured by you, and I have no ability to resist. Can't you just tie me up like those ordinary kidnappers?"

In that case... it might work?

After hearing the emerald-eyed girl's suggestion, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but ponder the feasibility of this proposal slightly.

There is no oxygen inside his 【Dog in the Mirror】, and Senior Ruben's 【Flower Fairy】 can only hold those who do not resist; once there is any will to resist, they will fall straight out of the flower. That is why he was so persistent about knocking Philia unconscious.

But if she is willing to cooperate and does not resist, then not putting her inside the 【Flower Fairy】 is also fine; at worst, we can just carry her on our backs. The only troublesome thing is that her soul is full of defenses against him, and she might shout and scream at any moment to attract enemies...

Hmm, if she shouts, it seems there is also a way to handle it.

After reaching out to touch his cufflink, Hearing Li Ang took a small, slightly curled sheep's tail out from the mirror world, held it up and handed it to the female reporter, then pointed at Philia and said:

"Nicole, put this on her butt."

This is... the Tail of Secrecy?

Looking at this anomaly that originally belonged to her with surprise, the female reporter couldn't help but frown, then said with a look of sudden realization:

"You want to make her unable to call for help?"

"Yes."

Hearing Li Ang nodded and said:

"We don't have enough manpower right now to keep watching her all the time, but if we place the 【Tail of Secrecy】 on her, even if she runs into the street and screams, it won't attract anyone's attention.

Moreover, whether it is you who bears the anomaly consumption, or me who has other sheep offal... um, I mean, me who has other components, we can also discover her location immediately, so we won't need to keep someone watching her constantly."

"Great idea!"

After giving Hearing Li Ang a thumbs-up, the female reporter, amidst Philia's despairing expression, took the 【Tail of Secrecy】, which was too lazy to make a sound, aimed it at her butt and started operating, while Hearing Li Ang extended his finger and lightly flicked the fish hook hanging on his lapel twice.

【Name: Hook of Resentment (Control)】

【Appearance: A hook-shaped fishing tool made of metal. After years of use, the anti-rust plating on it has peeled off, making it look quite old, but it remains very useful.】

【Ability: Resistance Lock】

【Cost: Cannot target any fish life form. Once touched by any fish life form, the user will suffer the rejection of the God of Fishing and Hunting.】

【File: This is a relic of a fishing enthusiast who was cursed after hooking a sacrificial fish belonging to the God of Fishing and Hunting. In all ponds controlled by the God of Fishing and Hunting, he could not catch any fish.

In order to break the curse of the God of Fishing and Hunting, this fishing enthusiast spent fifty years traveling across more than half the world, trying to find a pond that could break the curse, but failed even until his death.

The complete set of fishing gear, full of his resentment, became a wonderful anomaly that could catch anything once conditions were met, hailed as the legendary guaranteed-hit fishing gear. This 'Hook of Resentment' is one of them.

Any existence whose own contamination value is lower than the user's will temporarily lose the ability to resist after being hooked by the 'Hook of Resentment', until dragged to the user's side by the 'Void-Crossing Fishing Line' or caught in the 'Forbidden-Entry Landing Net'.】

【Evaluation: A fishing enthusiast never returns empty-handed; it's just a pity that what's caught isn't necessarily a fish.】

【Contamination Value: 6】

"Boing!"

After sensing movement on the fish hook, a transparent fishing line that originally did not exist suddenly materialized from the air, then instantly tightened, emitting a faint ringing sound.

Immediately after, Hearing Li Ang felt his whole body stiffen slightly, losing control of his body. Like a fish pulled out of the water, he felt a huge dragging force, and his entire body was pulled up uncontrollably from the ground.

And the world that was originally clear before Hearing Li Ang's eyes was like the scenery speeding away outside a high-speed train window, instantly dragging out countless afterimages and rushing violently behind him, until...

"Splash!"

A nylon landing net with a strong fishy smell was directly thrown down over his head, covering Hearing Li Ang. His body, which had lost control, finally regained its ability to move.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, the landing net covering his head was lifted open. Standing before Hearing Li Ang, whose face had turned pale, was a tall, thin man holding a large suitcase, his eyes full of expectation.

"How did it go?"

After taking off the 【Forbidden-Entry Landing Net】 and throwing it to the Cleaner beside him, the Scorpio Bureau Chief looked at Hearing Li Ang, whose face was turning pale, and asked impatiently:

"Did the plan go smoothly? Did you catch Prince Andre?"

Although the plan wasn't very smooth and Prince Andre didn't appear, a member of the royal family was caught according to the plan.

After nodding at the Scorpio Bureau Chief, Hearing Li Ang, who had been dragged by the fishing line for an instant across three whole city blocks and whose stomach was churning, smiled and opened his mouth.

"It went fairly smoo... Ugh!"

Although protected by the anomaly, Hearing Li Ang, who had crossed several kilometers in the blink of an eye, did not suffer physical injury, but the sense of imbalance from seeing himself moving forward with the naked eye while his body told him he hadn't moved at all still produced huge dizziness and nausea.

When not speaking, he could barely hold it in, but the instant he opened his mouth to answer the question, the food residue that had already risen to his throat burst out uncontrollably.

The pinkish-purple minced meat he had eaten earlier in the car, along with the yellow-green mixed vegetable puree, mixed directly with clear saliva and turbid gastric juice, and under Hearing Li Ang's strange smile, vomited out like a flood, pouring head over heels onto the Scorpio Bureau Chief.

【The vomit sprayed from your mouth caused an abnormally huge psychological shadow to an existence with a contamination value higher than 60. You have successfully activated the special Silver-grade badge "Profanity from the Mouth".】

【"Profanity from the Mouth": A kind word warms three winters, but harsh words chill a June day. However, what comes out of your mouth is ten times more chilling than harsh words.】

【Wearing Effect: Harmful words spat out from your mouth will be especially painful, with effects similar to being splashed with vomit all over.】

【Progression Path: None】

【Hidden Trait (No Wearing Required): Edward, the Chief of the Scorpio Branch of the Cleaner Bureau, has developed a huge psychological shadow of you. The possibility of him refusing to act with you will increase significantly.】
