Soya was genuinely panicking.
But this matter couldn't be blamed on Kale.
After all, Kale didn't know Merus's true identity.
The blame should fall on Merus for holding the gourd, calling Soya's name one moment and Kale's name the next.
If you hadn't done that, Kale probably wouldn't have seized the opportunity for revenge.
Now it's a tragedy, right?
Merus: "????"
Merus was slightly stunned at first, then immediately reacted, showing a face of shock.
A dignified angel like me... actually got captured by a gourd?
Is this for real?
How could this happen?
Merus genuinely felt immense astonishment.
Although Merus wasn't using any angel power, his body's essence was still that of an angel.
This gourd is strange!
"Huh? Merus, you're in here too?" Jaco felt pleased, feeling much more balanced.
Having company is a pretty good choice.
Merus: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Merus +666!"
Soya: "..."
It wasn't me who absorbed you, why are you contributing negative emotional value to me?
"Let me see if I can get out." Merus said, about to soar into the air.
"Merus, stop first." Soya urgently called out to Merus inside the gourd.
Merus paused, temporarily stopping.
"Jaco, you come up first." Soya said to Jaco.
Jaco was so happy he could cry.
Soya, you're so good to me.
After all, we knew each other first.
You're such a good person!
"Me first, me first!" Jaco waved his hand excitedly.
"Alright." Merus didn't object.
"Whoosh!"
Flames shot from Jaco's feet as he quickly flew towards the exit above.
"Snap!"
The next moment, Jaco got stuck at the exit, unable to go up or down.
Almost exactly like Tarola's situation, only Jaco's upper body was outside, everything from the waist down was stuck.
"Ah... I'm stuck." Jaco exclaimed.
"Your butt isn't that big either, why are you stuck?" Soya stepped forward to examine him, asking strangely.
Jaco: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Jaco +666!"
Why am I stuck, how should I know?
Wait... did you know I would get stuck, so you let me go up first?
Thank you so much, Soya!
"Officer Jaco, what's wrong?" Merus asked from inside.
"I'm stuck! Help me, push me up!" Jaco shouted loudly.
"Stuck?" Merus was stunned, immediately flew forward, grabbed Jaco's two legs and pushed upwards hard.
"Yah... it hurts... you're hurting me... Merus!" Jaco yelped in pain, constantly yelling.
Merus: "..."
"Can the people inside hear me?" Soya leaned close to Jaco and asked.
At this point, they could only take one step at a time.
Use Merus as a guinea pig for now.
Anyway, he's already absorbed.
They'll figure something out when the Grand Priest arrives.
I wonder if giving the Grand Priest some delicious food could settle this matter?
Never mind, never mind!
"Yes, Soya." Merus's voice sounded.
"Use a bit more force, see if you can get Jaco out." Soya called out to Merus.
"Don't use more force, it really hurts, okay?" Jaco became anxious, "I feel like my body has become one with the gourd's opening..."
"Oh?" Soya looked thoughtfully.
Upon closer inspection, Soya indeed discovered something new.
He saw that Jaco's upper body had truly fused with the gourd.
No wonder he couldn't get out!
And he yelled in pain with any force.
When Soya observed Tarola before, he didn't look that carefully.
"Soya, the gourd is connected to his body. Supposedly the gourd is sealed now, how can the people inside hear us talking?" Kale whispered softly to Soya.
"The sound is transmitted through his mouth, since his mouth and below are connected, right?" Soya guessed, stroking his chin.
"You... you mean to say... the sound is transmitted through his mouth, then released through his ass..." Kale shuddered slightly, feeling nauseated.
Jaco: "..."
Merus: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Jaco +999!"
"Negative emotional value from Merus +999!"
Jaco was truly speechless.
Can you two speak a little quieter?
Are you saying this on purpose for me to hear?
Merus was both amused and exasperated.
The sound can transmit inside... is it emitted from the butt position?
No, no, I need to get out quickly!
A dignified angel like me trapped here... if other angels found out, would I have any face left?
Merus looked around.
It was pitch black all around, couldn't see a thing.
But as an angel, Merus could naturally see clearly.
Fortunately, there's no one else here right now.
I remember Jaco doesn't have eyes on his butt.
I'll just use a little bit of the angel's special ability to get out!
"Snap!"
A brilliant, star-like light flame suddenly surged around Merus.
If Soya were inside, he could clearly see that Merus's skin color had now turned light blue.
Simultaneously, an angel halo appeared around Merus's neck, and his clothing transformed into angel god attire.
Merus raised his right hand, and an angel staff immediately materialized in it.
"Snap!"
Merus pointed his staff towards Jaco from a distance.
An invisible angel power quickly enveloped Jaco's body.
Jaco's eyes immediately lit up, overjoyed.
"Eh? It's not so tight anymore!" Jaco exclaimed in surprise, immediately exerting force.
The next moment, Jaco broke free from the gourd's opening, jumping out directly from inside.
As Jaco emerged from the gourd, his body rapidly enlarged, returning to its original size.
Soya: "..."
Soya immediately felt deep disdain for the system.
This gourd of yours is no good!
How did you let Jaco escape from inside?
It hasn't even been a full day yet.
Kale's jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock.
He's out just like that?
Tarola was trapped there for a full day.
How did this kid Jaco get out?
"Whoosh!"
Just as Kale was stunned, Merus quickly shot up from below.
"Snap!"
Merus encountered almost no significant obstruction, his entire person leaving the gourd's opening, flying straight out.
Immediately after, Merus's body rapidly enlarged, returning to its original form.
Looking again, Merus's skin color had changed back to light purple, and that set of angel god attire had also transformed back into Galactic Patrolman garments.
Soya silently watched, sighing inwardly.
As expected of an angel!
It seems this gourd can't trap angels!
I wonder if upgrading the gourd in the future could trap angels inside too?
"What a magical gourd." Merus forced a strained smile.
"Ah... finally out... this thing actually sucks people in?" Jaco wiped his sweat, still feeling lingering fear.
