Chapter 1287: 42_2
"Communication has been cut off, quite fast..."
He looked out the window, the night was deep, yet the whole city was brightly lit.
"What needs to come will come, but... Xu, oh Xu, the job this time is much more dangerous than expected, gotta charge extra later."
He muttered to himself while snapping his fingers.
In the room, many things started moving on their own.
Drawers opened by themselves, and the documents, drugs, files inside flew out one by one, diving into a jumping and bouncing leather suitcase.
The wardrobe door opened, pieces of clothing flew over to the suitcase, folded themselves neatly, and were packed inside.
Among them, a suit consisting of a white Chinese-style inner lining, black pants, and a black trench coat flew to Li Ang's side.
He reached out his hands, his casual clothes detached from his body, and the new set donned itself onto him.
Meanwhile, another case opened by itself, a long and a short gun flew out, landing on the table laid out.
Li Ang picked up the longer one first.
This is the Night Falcon 3 type precision rifle, slender and elegant, with a faint blue glow at the end, that can be hidden when necessary. It had multiple celestial array inscriptions custom-modified by Li Ang himself, offering notable single-shot power, stable laser trajectory, and charged shooting capable of penetrating steel plates and walls.
After testing it a bit, Li Ang hung it vertically inside his coat.
He then picked up the first short gun, resembling a revolver, appearing solid and heavy, with a barrel longer than ordinary revolvers, its entire body silver.
This is the Silver Dragon 2 type revolver, also custom-modified by Li Ang, the cylinder featuring micro-array engravings in each of the six chambers, each embedding six different bullet effects, including explosive rounds, smoke shells, incendiary rounds, and the most commonly used large-caliber penetrating bullets.
He ejected the cylinder, checked the bullet reserves, closed it, aimed briefly, and then inserted it into the thigh holster, the coat tails concealing it.
Meanwhile, his coat came with magical protection. He checked one by one to ensure the high-level fire guard charm, high-level ballistic shield, Mist Spell, Instant Body Spell, Floating Spell... several spells were operational, the magic light constantly changing colors, ensuring they function when needed.
His high-top boots had Extreme Travel, Ant Attachment, Fish Dragon Leap, and several other spells...
He armed himself to the teeth.
Pulling out a cigarette from a metal box, he lit it with a windproof lighter, took a deep drag.
As the cigarette got shorter, more and more signs surfaced.
The searchlights were sweeping outside;
The faint sound of hovering car engines could be heard;
Through the floor and ceiling, he could already hear the sound of army boots stomping on the stairs.
At the end of the cigarette, he snuffed it out on the table.
"The show is about to begin." Era City, Guardian Tower D307.
This is a massive civilian area, a skyscraper with over a hundred floors, standing tall on the ground, each floor having more than a hundred rooms, varying in size, with an astonishing living density.
It is now three in the morning, and Li Ang, residing in room 6333, felt he could not take it anymore.
The deafening rock music noise was cleansing his ears. The noise's owner, his upstairs neighbor, was ignoring his warnings yet again.
He had to teach that guy a lesson.
He stood up, put on his clothes, and with a gloomy face, he walked up the stairs to door 6433, and knocked on it.
The door opened, revealing a two-meter-one tall creature with a wolf head, covered in fur, wearing shorts, glaring at him with scarlet eyes from above.
This was a demon wolf, not yet fully transformed.
And behind him, the room was fog-ridden, featuring three other characters, tiger-headed, rat-headed, snake-headed.
Good grief, all night creatures.
But Li Ang didn't care about them.
Regardless of these dangerous glares, he stared at the wolf demon's eyes and said:
"Didn't I say last time, if you dare play psychedelic rock at three in the morning again, I'll use [Sound Killing Spell] to blast your head open?"
"Hahaha..." Several demons laughed, the Tiger Demon inside said sullenly: "Sound Killing Spell, does he think he's what? A special attack team officer? Or a Divine Bird or Yunlang lackey? Or a celestial hacker? Hahahaha..."
The wolf demon laughed along, stretching out his claw, licking it with his tongue: "I told you last time too, kid, if you meddle again, I'll twist your head off..."
Li Ang chuckled: "Demons really are a bunch of unreasonable idiots."
Remark like that could cause trouble outside, lead to allegations of racial discrimination.
Li Ang didn't mean it, he had demon friends, but these four guys, he really hated them.
In his eyes, the iris holographic image appeared, he skillfully compiled the [Sound Killing Spell] quick-release command through consciousness, locking onto these four guys.
Launch!
An invisible sound wave swept through the room. The four demons immediately felt as if a demonic sound pierced their ears, with severe pain rising from the depths of their consciousness.
The Wolf Demon, especially the one closest to Li Ang, fell to its knees, its eyes nearly bulging out.
As a side effect, the sound-killing curse also blew out the speakers in the room.
Fifteen seconds, Li Ang ceased his actions.
This is the limit when dealing with ordinary people... oh, ordinary demons.
Any further, and someone might really die.
But to the four demons, it felt like each second lasted a year, fifteen seconds of intense pain was enough to temporarily paralyze them.
As the physical pain subsided, psychological fear swept in.
"You... you..."
"Are you really a hacker?"
"Don't kill us! We absolutely won't report you!"
"Please, spare us!"
The four demons, moments ago so arrogant, were now terrified.
Li Ang stepped on the Wolf Demon's head and pulled out a work ID from his pocket: "Look closely, I'm a senior security officer at the Yunlang Group. If I kill you now, it would just be a matter of filling out a form at the police station."
The Wolf Demon was dumbstruck: "You're magnanimous... You're magnanimous..."
"I'm kind-hearted, letting you go this time. Don't let me see you again... don't let me even hear about you!"
"Absolutely, absolutely!"
...
After Li Ang left, the four demons slumped to the ground, looking at each other in dismay.
"It's all your fault!" the Snake Head started blaming the Rat Head, "Playing music in the middle of the night! You provoked someone you shouldn't have!"
"How was I supposed to know a company dog from Yunlang lived downstairs?" the Rat Head retorted, shifting the blame to the Wolf Head, "He said he warned you! But you didn't tell us!"
"He didn't mention his identity last time he warned me, otherwise, would I dare?" the Wolf Head felt wronged.
The Tiger Head asked a question: "Is he really from Yunlang? One of the top two groups in Era City, and a senior security officer, living in this rundown place?"
"Do you think he's a hacker?" the Rat Head shivered.
The Snake Head said: "Quite possible..."
"Stop guessing, stop guessing..." the Wolf Head was terrified, "What good does guessing do? Would any of you dare to report him?"
"Why not?" the Tiger Head stiffened its neck, "As long as we have evidence! Otherwise, are you willing to suffer for nothing?"
"Then you go, don't involve me, so that when you get retaliated against, you don't drag me along..."
...
Back at his place, Li Ang threw the credentials he had just shown to those demons into a drawer.
In the drawer, there were several other credentials too.
Time City Police Station second-level police inspector; Time City Special Attack Team captain; Divine Bird Group senior security officer...
These credentials, of course, were all fake.
Lying back in bed, unable to sleep, Li Ang started to ponder recent events.
At that moment, his phone rang.
The caller was noted as 'Xu'.
In this era, communication devices are integrated into the central chip of the brain, with a built-in voice emitter in the ear that only he could hear.
Answering the call, Li Ang heard Xu's voice:
"Are you still staying at the Guardian Tower?"
"Yes, aren't I waiting for you to find me a new place?"
"Get out quickly, I got intelligence that a special task force from Divine Bird is heading your way!"
Li Ang's expression changed.
