0580 If I go on another mission with Li Ang, I'm a dog!

Waiting for that Li Ang to return?

After hearing the Jackdaw's relay, the eyebrows behind the White Snake mask wrinkled slightly, and he asked in confusion:

"Did Aquarius tell you specifically how he plans to do it?"

"I asked, but he wouldn't tell me."

The Jackdaw mask said helplessly:

"He only told me that although that red-haired woman from the Virgo branch has almost no weaknesses, her most important defensive anomalous object was ultimately created by Aquarius and Taurus together."

"And as one of the creators of that defensive anomalous object, although Aquarius didn't leave an obvious backdoor, there are still ways to take a shortcut and bypass that set of defensive anomalous objects."

"..."

The problem is that according to the information provided by Aquarius, to deal with that red-haired woman, one must first solve her defensive anomalous object. So, all in all, his words still amounted to saying nothing.

Pondering Aquarius Director's possible operations, but having no clue no matter how he thought about it, White Snake had to continue asking with a furrowed brow:

"Did he tell you why he has been staring at the Virgo branch? Shouldn't his ultimate goal be to replace Taurus Director and successfully ascend to the Watchtower? What's the use of staring at that woman from the Virgo branch?"

"He did say this."

The Jackdaw mask thought for a while and replied:

"He means that even if the people from the twelve Zodiac branches don't go, there will be three directors protecting Taurus when he ascends. There is definitely no chance for a frontal attack, so he must think of some other way."

"He still didn't tell you what this 'other way' is, and we still only know that he will attack the Virgo branch, right?"

"Hmm..."

"..."

Forget it if you can't ask. Anyway, Aquarius Director was never on the same side as us, and his goals are completely different from the King-Slaying Society. Let him toss and turn as he likes, as long as he maintains hostility with the Bureau of Cleanup.

"Jackdaw."

Just as White Snake shook his head helplessly, the Black Cat who was listening on the side suddenly called out and asked:

"You told us earlier that Aquarius told you he had found a way to deal with the Virgo branch and was just waiting for that Li Ang to return... What exactly does this sentence mean?"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, the Jackdaw was slightly startled, then retorted in astonishment:

"Is there something wrong with this sentence?"

"No, this sentence is indeed interesting."

After Black Cat's inquiry, White Snake in the main seat seemed to understand something and said with a thoughtful look:

"From a literal meaning, it means that he, who has a grudge against that Li Ang, is preparing to wipe out him and the entire Virgo branch after that Li Ang returns to the capital. But if you think about it carefully, there is actually another possibility..."

"Perhaps that Li Ang himself is a part of his plan to deal with the Virgo branch. Only after that Li Ang returns to the capital can his plan begin to be implemented!"

"Achoo!!!"

After sneezing a huge sneeze, for some reason, Li Ang's nose had been itchy, so he couldn't help but reach out and rub his nose, then couldn't help but complain in a low voice:

"Hasn't the estimated time already passed? Why hasn't Director Edward woken up yet?"

"Sorry, kept you waiting."

Hearing Li Ang's complaint, the girl with emerald eyes, who was kneeling beside Director Scorpio, turned her head and said apologetically:

"The Director's soul was severely damaged and messed up. It is estimated that it will take a while for his soul to recover and become clear."

"Mo Na is right."

At this time, another emerald-eyed... boy nodded, then quickly ripened two sunflowers, took the seeds from them, and handed them to Li Ang eagerly.

"If you are bored waiting, just eat some sunflower seeds... Don't worry, this black sunflower is a specialty of our Kingdom of Oleson. It's very fragrant even if you eat it raw without roasting."

"Ah, thank you, Senior Ruben."

_ttkΛn_co

Not expecting that his muttering would be overheard, Li Ang smiled embarrassedly. After thanking him, he took the black and shiny melon seeds and explained with a slight apology:

"I'm actually not blaming Director Edward. It's mainly because the 1.3 million citizens of the Kingdom of Krolok are still waiting to be resettled, and the only anomalous object that can contact the General Bureau is in Director Edward's hands, so I'm a bit anxious. Sorry about that."

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand."

Facing Li Ang, who had fished him out of the Dead Realm after he was killed, turned the tide of a completely failed mission with his own strength, and even preserved the machine in District 1 and helped him get a new body, Ruben's attitude couldn't be better.

Seeming afraid that Li Ang would be thirsty from eating melon seeds, he activated his anomalous object again and ripened a strange shrub. After picking a coconut-like fruit from the shrub and smashing it open, he handed the fruit pulp full of juice to Li Ang and said with a smile:

"As for the problem of these 1.3 million people, you don't actually have to worry too much. Before your soul spat them out, relying on the 60-point Li Ang value, we ripened more than 50 acres of banana trees and coconut groves in one go. Even if they eat as much as they want, they can eat for more than a week."

"And Frankie has already taken people to fish at the harbor. His level in this regard can be trusted. Even if Director Edward sleeps for a long time, these 1.3 million people will be fine."

"Senior Frankie is so amazing?"

Hearing Ruben's guarantee, Li Ang couldn't help but wonder:

"Can he catch enough fish to feed 1.3 million people? Can there be that many fish nearby?"

"No, no, you misunderstood."

The emerald-eyed boy waved his hand upon hearing this and explained with a smile:

"It's my job to make these people full. What Frankie needs to be responsible for is to get some other necessary supplies, such as cotton clothes for cold weather, medicine for illness, tents for shelter, and so on."

"Ah? Can these also be fished up?"

"Except for fish, he can fish up anything."

"..."

Good guy, this is indeed something a fisherman can do...

"Hehe, Frankie's ability is always very useful at such times."

Looking at Li Ang, who was speechless, Ruben explained with a smile:

"In the warehouse of our Kingdom of Oleson, there is a small piece of pond anomalous object that belongs specifically to him. Relying on the effect of that 【Unreasonable Pond】, as long as the consumption of Li Ang value can be supported, he can take supplies from the kingdom's warehouse at will."

So that's how it is...

After nodding in realization, Li Ang, full of curiosity, was about to ask again, but heard a joyful shout from behind.

"Director? Come quickly! Director Edward is awake!"

Finally awake!

Hearing the call of the female cleanup agent Mo Na, Li Ang and the two who were chatting idly were overjoyed. They quickly put away the melon seeds in their hands and hurried over.

And after the initial trance, Director Scorpio's eyes immediately regained their sharpness. He stared at the emerald-eyed girl who was happy beside him, and then asked hesitantly:

"Fei Liya... are you Mo Na? Why have you become like this?"

"Yes, yes! I am Mo Na!"

Seeing that Director Edward recognized her immediately, the female cleanup agent Mo Na nodded happily and explained:

"Our original bodies were destroyed, and there was no time to cultivate them again, so we could only use the original parameters of the machine and adjust them slightly according to the appearance of the Krolok royal family, so we look different from before."

After explaining the reason for her change in appearance, the female cleanup agent Mo Na said excitedly:

"Director! You finally woke up! After you fell into a coma, many things happened, and even people from the King-Slaying Society rushed over."

"Fortunately, there was Li Ang. It was he who defeated Prince Andre, preserved the Krolok royal bloodline, then persuaded him to betray the King-Slaying Society, and sent him to the Dead Realm... In short, our mission was successful!"

Mission... successful?

Hearing Mo Na's excited notification and looking at Li Ang and the... probably Ruben, the green-eyed little boy, who were walking over, Director Scorpio, whose nerves were tense, couldn't help but let out a long breath and stood up shakily.

"Thank you."

Pushing away the hand of the female cleanup agent Mo Na who wanted to help him, Director Scorpio, whose soul could not yet perfectly control his body, looked at Li Ang, who was energetic but couldn't hide his exhaustion, and said in a low voice with a complex expression:

"Thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, not only would this mission have failed, but I and Mo Na and the others would probably not have survived... I owe you one."

"You're welcome."

Li Ang smiled upon hearing this.

"I am also one of the members of this investigation mission. There is no such thing as owing or not owing. These are all things I should do."

"There is no such thing as should or shouldn't. You not only completed the mission but also saved our lives. Then this is what I owe you!"

After stubbornly replying, Director Scorpio stood firm slowly, then gritted his teeth and asked seriously:

"Where is Princess Fei Liya now? And Frankie, Nicole, and Aljie? Did they..."

"Don't worry, they are all fine."

Understanding what Director Scorpio was worried about, Li Ang said:

"Princess Fei Liya is comforting the citizens of the Kingdom of Krolok. Nicole and Aljie are protecting her to avoid any further problems at this time. And Senior Frankie has just taken people to fish. It is estimated that he will not return from the harbor until he has caught enough supplies for 1.3 million people."

Phew... as long as everyone didn't die...

When he heard that everyone was fine, Director Scorpio's tense expression softened. He began to rejoice that he hadn't refused the Sagittarius Director's proposal earlier, but had bitten the bullet and brought Li Ang along.

But when he heard about Frankie's destination and what he was preparing to do, a huge, indescribable terror, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, rushed straight up from his tailbone, making him stammer and ask:

"Why... why catch so many supplies? And... and didn't you complete the mission and preserve the Krolok royal family?"

"This..."

After looking worriedly at Director Scorpio's surging soul, Li Ang couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said stammeringly:

"I did preserve the royal family, but... uh... the Kingdom of Krolok is gone."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Director! Director, what's wrong with you? Director, don't lie down!" ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
