Chapter 39

Seeing the earth wall that suddenly rose beside her successfully block the unknown crimson liquid, the scarlet in Danika's pupils quickly faded.

"Thanks!"

She spat out two words quickly, then used her left leg as a pivot and kicked the head of the giant bug in front of her with a spinning roundhouse kick.

Crack—

A faint sound came, and the hard shell on the giant bug's head instantly cracked with gaps.

"Squeak!"

The giant bug let out a piercing scream from its hideous mouthparts.

Before it could make a counterattack, Danika's left hand had already grabbed its head tightly and slammed it into the wall beside it.

Boom—!

Looking at the bug whose head was already embedded in the wall in front of her, Danika exhaled and muttered somewhat dissatisfied: "The construction quality is too poor, how does the Construction Bureau do their work."

Just as Danika was solving the giant bug, Li Ang wasn't idle either.

He took a deep breath, then stepped lightly to the Kun-position.

"Kun-character · Flowing Stone."

As the words fell, the already dilapidated earth wall instantly turned into several pieces of gravel and shot toward the dark dormitory.

Hearing the dull sound and the bug's hissing coming from the dormitory, Li Ang knew his attack had successfully hit the target.

Without any hesitation, he stomped on the ground and rushed into the dormitory, and then a deep red figure that was much smaller than the bug outside appeared in the imaging device.

In just an instant, Li Ang re-positioned the center of the Mysterious Gate Escaping Technique to this newly appeared bug.

The next moment, a white palm with a metallic luster had already arrived in front of the unknown bug's head.

[Used Reverse Life Triple to fight, skill experience +34].

[Used Mysterious Gate Escaping Technique to fight, skill experience +21].

Looking at the bug corpse in front of him that didn't know what hit it, Li Ang was stunned in place.

'So brittle?'

He had already prepared to wait for Danika's support, but he didn't expect the bug in the room to have much weaker defense than the one outside.

It was also at this moment that Danika's voice came from behind him: "Thanks for what happened just now."

While speaking, the tall figure had already walked to Li Ang's side.

She looked at the headless bug corpse in front of her, couldn't help but frown, and muttered in a low voice: "Another special breed?"

If there was any difference between the bug in the room and the one in the corridor, it was undoubtedly the exaggerated cannon barrel on its back.

Clearly, the crimson viscous liquid just now was fired from inside here.

Recalling the scorching liquid just now, Danika glanced at Li Ang beside her imperceptibly.

Perhaps she should take back her previous judgment now; the other party's profession didn't just have simple physical enhancement abilities.

'So is it a superpower? Or a spell?'

Danika couldn't judge the true ability of [Mysterious Gate Escaping Technique] for a moment.

'Besides soil, can he control other objects?'

Excellent physical bonuses, impressive long-range means; if there was only one of them, it would be an ordinary profession.

If there were both, it could already be considered a relatively excellent profession. Danika's own profession was only at this level.

But because professional information is extremely private information, she naturally couldn't ask Li Ang directly, just silently raised the importance of Li Ang in her heart.

If the help Danika promised before to convert Li Ang from a prisoner to an extra-legal citizen was painting a pie, then she was now truly starting to think about this matter.

'Didn't expect there to be such a talent among the prisoners.'

And at this time, Li Ang didn't know what the tall woman beside him was thinking; he was thinking about [Mysterious Gate Escaping Technique].

After several actual combats, he had discovered the shortcomings of the ordinary version of [Mysterious Gate Escaping Technique].

That is, when fighting against high-speed enemies, it becomes very difficult to use the technique of the corresponding position.

Besides that, it is also very difficult to judge the positions of all people simultaneously when fighting against multiple enemies.

But it's not without a solution. The [Wind Queen's Mysterious Gate] in the original work of "Under One Person" doesn't have this trouble, because it sets oneself as the center position, so one can cast techniques at will.

Of course, this is just a layman's way of saying it; the principle is more complex.

Just as Li Ang was trying to find a way to solve the drawbacks of [Mysterious Gate Escaping Technique], Danika beside him suddenly gave a light 'huh', then leaned toward the giant bug, and stretched out her fair palm to gently stroke the shell on the bug's body.

This action immediately attracted Li Ang's attention. He followed Danika's gaze and soon discovered something unusual.

The shells of ordinary beetles are basically very smooth, but the shell of the giant beetle in front of them appeared very rough, as if there were a layer of fine scales.

No, it's not 'as if'.

Li Ang also stretched out his hand to touch it, then said with some astonishment: "Can bugs grow scales?"

Hearing this, Danika first looked at him with some surprise, then shrugged her shoulders and said: "Who knows."

"This is not the work of our Public Security Bureau. After a while, I'll write a report and let the Research Bureau worry about it."

Since the leader had said so, Li Ang, as a prisoner, naturally wouldn't continue to delve into it.

And at this time, the three team members behind Li Ang no longer looked at him with the indifference they had before, but instead turned to respect.

The world is realistic. Now that Li Ang had shown his value, they naturally changed their attitude quickly.

For the team members under Danika, even if his strength was still slightly inferior to their captain, he was enough to serve as a backbone force in any team in the Public Security Bureau.

As for the prisoner status...

That was just the most insignificant thing, not to mention that Li Ang's crime was only smuggling, a crime that could be big or small.

After confirming that the two special breeds of bugs were dead, Danika yawned and said: "Alright, time to go to the next..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a deafening roar.

Then the originally dark corridor was suddenly filled with light.

Li Ang looked up somewhat sluggishly and saw that the roof of the entire dormitory building had disappeared, and that Public Security Bureau Chief was standing in mid-air.

"I'm here, Danika!"

Marcus said while letting out a hearty laugh, but when he saw the situation under his feet, the laughter stopped abruptly.

At this time, Danika's somewhat helpless voice sounded beside Li Ang.

"Chief, do you have to make such a big scene? If this continues, the funding allocated to the bureau by the Finance Bureau next year will shrink by a large chunk again."

Hearing her words, Marcus's face froze, then he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Bumps and bruises are inevitable, don't worry about such small details."

After saying this, he began to change the subject: "But Danika, you could solve the battle by yourself, why did you call me?"

"It wasn't solved by me alone, this kid also helped a lot."
