Chapter 612: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 289

"."

Upon hearing this, Sophie and the others felt their hearts sink.

This was undoubtedly the worst scenario; fortunately, they hadn't rushed out, or they would have walked straight into the enemy's hands.

After a brief silence, Li Ang asked in a calm voice: "I wonder if you could help us relay intelligence? We will repay you handsomely afterward."

In his view, since they couldn't leave the mirror space, all they needed to do was send the intelligence back to 【Aio Logistics】 and wait quietly for reinforcements.

Unfortunately, Luonan's answer was destined to disappoint Li Ang.

The 【Mirror Person】 sighed, then shrugged and said: "Alas, I've signed a contract with them—I cannot reveal anything about what happens here."

"Moreover, those people have already locked onto my location; if I even attempt to leave this star system, they'll immediately swarm me."

Though Luonan did want to do Li Ang a favor, he wasn't about to risk his life for it.

If he made any move, Lawson and his crew would come knocking at once.

Besides, he's already done more than enough; unless this kid behind the mirror is an ungrateful wretch, he'll surely owe Luonan a debt.

As if to reassure Li Ang and the others, Luonan continued: "But you needn't worry too much—I won't drive you out. You may stay here as long as you like."

"After some time passes, Lawson and his group may very well stop paying attention to this star system."

"When that happens, I'll naturally find an opportunity to send you out."

Saying this, the 【Mirror Person】 paused slightly, then scratched his cheek and added: "Besides, the group behind you might notice something amiss—then you won't have to worry about those few individuals."

Hearing this, Li Ang fell silent.

Luonan was right, but Li Ang had no intention of betting his life on these "possibilities."

Rather than waiting here for a miracle, he'd rather carve out his own path to survival—especially since he truly had a chance to turn things around.

But if he did this, choosing the next travel route would become critically important—he must pick a world where he could genuinely strengthen himself.

Neither the Box Court nor the Broken Iron world could be endured by Li Ang right now, given their randomness and risk.

Under normal circumstances, he might have chosen one of them to develop slowly.

But now—

Li Ang shook off his thoughts and thanked Luonan: "Thank you for your help. I'll be troubling you for a while longer."

Though he'd already made his decision inside, he wouldn't show any sign of it to this 【Mirror Person】.

"It's nothing. But you're still weak, aren't you? I won't disturb you further—just call out in the mirror space if you need anything."

With that, Luonan prepared to leave 【Heavenly Dominion】.

Yet the 【Mirror Person】 awkwardly realized that, without using brute force, he couldn't actively exit this space.

Fortunately, Li Ang didn't let him suffer too much embarrassment—he quickly opened a pitch-black rift.

After watching the magnificent mirror wobble out of sight, Sophie couldn't help asking: "Are we really just going to wait here forever?"

Lao Wu and Pan Mingrui also turned to Li Ang, silently awaiting his answer.

"No," Li Ang shook his head slightly, rejecting the Gem Dragon's suggestion. "Placing hope in the enemy's mistakes is the stupidest thing possible."

Upon hearing this, Sophie and the other two fell silent.

They had no idea how Li Ang could possibly reverse this extremely unfavorable situation.

Before they could figure it out, Li Ang spoke: "For the next while, I'll be in seclusion. You're free to move about 【Heavenly Dominion】."

With that, he vanished in a flash.

Seeing this, Sophie and the other two froze in place.

Seclusion? Does he mean to break through to the Sixth Level?! Impossible!

But given the current situation, it seemed the only possibility left.

'Can he really succeed?'

At that moment, the three couldn't help but harbor doubts.

Elsewhere.

Li Ang calmly watched as the new anchor slowly formed before him, his mood slightly eased.

This was a necessary preparation before entering a new world—after all, that world was truly bizarre.

After a long while, seeing the anchor successfully formed, Li Ang casually opened his career panel.

Immediately after selecting a certain path, he activated his 【Traveler】 talent without hesitation.

The next instant, a flash of white light swept through—【Heavenly Dominion】 vanished without a trace.

【Friends kill friends, companions betray companions.】
