Chapter 155: 154 Rebel Faction Meeting and

"Li Ang Lian..."

Just as Li Ang was holding his sister's family photo, pondering how to dig up the secrets of the Water Bottle Director to speed up the Bureau's investigation into this guy, a group of people were also holding his file, pondering how to move this stumbling block.

"Must we take action? Can't we solve him with ordinary means?"

After quickly flipping through the documents in his hand, the short man sitting at the very end of the long table couldn't help but speak first:

"His itinerary is basically fixed. He goes from Bridge Street to the Municipal District where the Police Department is located to work every day. If we ambush him with manpower in advance, perhaps we only need a few bombs..."

"Useless."

The young man sitting opposite him shook his head, gritting his teeth with full indignation:

"He is a person from that Cleaning Bureau, and he has more than one anomalous object for protection. Ordinary alchemy bombs are unlikely to kill him."

"Then bomb his home!"

The short man suggested again:

"Even with anomalous objects for protection, he can't necessarily defend against it 24 hours a day. We can sneak over at night and blow up that apartment on Bridge Street entirely!"

"Can't sneak over."

A young woman wearing a hat shook her head, speaking very quickly:

"That apartment has a very good view. The balcony in the northwest corner can directly observe the whole street. When I was assassinating the Princess before, I once thought about choosing that place as the first sniper point.

But at that time, I had just climbed over the fence when I found an old man who was terrifyingly strong, holding a pair of large scissors and staring at me. I shot at him, and he was completely fine; he backhanded with the scissors and almost took my life.

Later, I took twenty people to sneak over, but in the blink of an eye, they were tied up tightly by an old woman with white hair and thrown into the trash station at the corner of the street.

Although that old man didn't kill me, he held a pair of large scissors over a meter long and clicked them at my head for more than half an hour. Not only did he shave off my hair and eyebrows, but he even scraped my nose hair clean. It still hasn't grown back."

Slightly lifting her head to show everyone her empty nasal cavity, the young woman sighed:

"Later I found out that the apartment itself is an anomalous object. The strong old man and the white-haired old woman inside have been dead for more than ninety years. With these two old ghosts guarding the apartment, if we really want to sneak in and plant bombs, I'm afraid we'll have to send troops with heavy weapons to storm it.

Oh right, have you seen heavy weapons? I secretly went to the Laien Arms Company last month to take a look. They only made half of the heavy weapons ordered by the military, but they dared to write 'completed' on the report. At present, except for the most important troops, many have not been actually equipped. We can actually take advantage of this..."

"Alright Charlotte, your intelligence is very useful, but it has nothing to do with this meeting. We are discussing how to solve this Li Ang Lian."

After interrupting the young woman's words, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat said:

"Everyone, according to the intelligence sent back by Barton, this Cleaning Bureau employee is not weak. For someone with anomalous objects, the probability of solving him with ordinary methods is not high; you still need to take action."

"It's no problem for us to take action, but what should we do after taking action?"

After forcefully sucking his teeth, an old man dressed quite sloppily reminded:

"He is an employee of that Cleaning Bureau. The person who gave us our abilities at the beginning said that the Director of the Cleaning Bureau's Wang Gong branch is terrifyingly strong, and even if we all go together, it's just sending ourselves to death.

If Barton were still here, we could kill him in the copy space created by Barton, but now Barton is gone. If we kill him, it might provoke that woman to take action herself..."

"That won't happen. That woman from the Wang Gong branch has her own duties and generally won't take action herself. And we don't necessarily have to kill him; erasing his abilities and memories is enough."

The middle-aged man in the main seat said while turning his head to look at the sleepy child on his right, tapping the table lightly:

"Fei Bi, you also join this mission, responsible for making the target forget the intelligence about us in his brain, as well as that ability to peek into other people's souls. Can you do it?"

"Ah?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, the sleepy little girl shivered violently, then said with a look of confusion:

"What mission?"

"..."

"Ambush Li Ang Lian."

Hearing this, the little girl sniffed, and continued to ask with a look of confusion:

"Who is Li Ang Lian?"

"An employee of the Cleaning Bureau who exposed Barton's identity and took away Samantha's ability."

"Who is Barton? And who is Samantha?"

Facing the little girl's repeated questions, the middle-aged man was not impatient but explained earnestly:

"They are our companions. Barton is a spy lurking in the Secret Investigation Bureau, a strong uncle with a scar on his face. Samantha is the aunt who has bandages wrapped around her hands and can heal others' wounds, and can also make people rot directly..."

"Oh..."

After nodding with a look of half-understanding, the little girl rubbed her eyes and then asked again:

"Then who are you?"

"I... forget it."

After rubbing his brow with a headache, the middle-aged man waved at the seat on the other side of the little girl and said helplessly:

"Lu Xi, your sister's amnesia has flared up again. She can't discuss things like this. You'd better pour the information that needs to be known directly into Fei Bi's head!"

"Good."

A hoarse and old voice sounded. An old woman with a face full of wrinkles sat up straight, stretched out her trembling palm, and stroked the little girl's forehead.

Seeing that this pair of strange "sisters" were ready, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, then instructed the wrinkled old woman:

"Lu Xi, this target has the ability to peek into other people's soul states. So after everyone finishes the meeting and selects the candidates for the ambush mission, I will trouble you to take action again.

To avoid the people executing the mission from generating hostility toward the target and alerting him prematurely, causing unnecessary vigilance, please implant a layer of false memory into the selected people to temporarily cover up everyone's original memories. Any problems?"

"No problems."

"Thank you for your hard work."

After nodding and thanking the old woman, the middle-aged man leaned forward slightly, pressed his hands on the table, and said directly:

"Then next, it's best to determine the ambush location first. Do you have any suggestions for this?"

"I suggest taking action directly when he goes to work!"

A man covered in burns on his right hand raised his hand and suggested with cold eyes:

"We will all move out together, storm that so-called Cleaning Bureau, kill that red-haired woman first, then burn everyone else to death, and then..."

"Alright, alright, shut your mouth!"

Hearing the burn victim's suggestion, which couldn't be said to be intentionally seeking death but purely didn't want to live, the middle-aged man sighed and waved his hand in the direction of the burn victim.

Accompanied by a strange explosion, the burn victim instantly disappeared from the room, leaving only an empty chair with quite a bit of dust on the spot.

Not knowing what method he used to directly kick the burn victim out, the middle-aged man said with a headache:

"There's no need to say such stupid things. Are there any slightly more reliable suggestions?"

"Yes."

The sloppy old man raised his hand and suggested earnestly:

"Lionheart Duke's succession ceremony, what do you think about ambushing there?"

Lionheart Duke's succession ceremony?

After hearing the sloppy old man's suggestion, the group of rebels in the room was silent for a while, then began to nod one after another.

"Very good!"

"Very suitable!"

"I

think so too!"

The middle-aged man in the main seat pondered for a while, then finally nodded along, saying with a smile:

"It is indeed a good choice. Lionheart Duke's succession ceremony will definitely have many key officials attending, and even the Royal Family will send representatives.

If we are lucky enough, not only can we solve the problem of Li Ang Lian, but we can also eliminate a large number of nobles and officials at once. Let's set the ambush location at tomorrow's succession ceremony!

As for the specific ambush candidates, do any of you want to participate voluntarily?"

"I want to go! I want to go!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young woman—whose hair had been shaved off by the strong old man and who had a very loose tongue—raised her hand in high spirits and said:

"I can... from five kilometers away..."

"You are excluded."

Interrupting her words again, the middle-aged man shook his head:

"Your ability is hidden enough, and the distance is far enough, making it excellent for assassination, but the destructive power is too poor, and it may not necessarily break the anomalous object the target uses for protection.

Moreover, we don't need to kill him this time. As long as we subdue him and let Fei Bi erase his partial memories and abilities, so you are not suitable for this mission."

"Then count me in!"

Just as the bald woman with the broken mouth pouted in dissatisfaction and was about to argue, a thin young man stood up and said excitedly:

"At the beginning, it was Barton who took the initiative to stay behind to cover, and Samantha and I ran out. This time I..."

"Sorry, you are also not suitable."

The middle-aged man shook his head:

"Now is not the time to provoke that red-haired woman from the Cleaning Bureau, and you have the best relationship with Barton. I'm worried that you will kill the target forcibly to avenge Barton, and then things will be impossible to end. You'd better stay."

"..."

After the young man sat down with disappointment in his eyes, the middle-aged man simply stopped asking and pointed directly:

"In this way, except for the Fei Bi and Lu Xi sisters, Da Wei, Lu Ke, you two follow along! Your abilities are clearly the most suitable for this mission."

"No problem!"

The man who first suggested planting bombs responded.

"Can."

The sloppy old man nodded.

"Then let's do it!"

After confirming the specific candidates, the middle-aged man looked at the few people who got up and walked toward Lu Xi to take the initiative to accept memory coverage, and nodded with satisfaction.

After the few people finished accepting memory coverage, he waved at everyone in the room, and the strange explosion sounded again. Everyone in the room disappeared, leaving only chairs covered in dust.

And the middle-aged man in the main seat seemed to have experienced more than ten years of time in an instant, and his originally pitch-black temples were already stained with strands of gray.

Still no one can live to the future?

Looking at the empty meeting room and those dusty seats, the middle-aged man, who had aged significantly, sighed faintly, then stood up with some difficulty, controlled his future body, and walked toward the door.

After he made changes last time, he still couldn't change the fate of the Kingdom's destruction. The resistance of the pro-war faction led by the Princess failed completely, and the entire Kingdom was dragged into a tragic melee lasting eleven years. The originally prosperous Capital was turned into ruins under bombing, and countless people were displaced, living worse than death.

And in those futures where he successfully assassinated the Princess, the Royal Family and nobles surrendered voluntarily, first ceding territory and paying indemnities, then handing over all resources such as ports and mines, and even the legal currency was forcibly abolished. The originally wealthy country was almost squeezed dry, but the people could barely maintain their lives.

As for herself and the "rebels" she had gathered... no matter which future it was, there was no place for everyone; there was only herself, enduring the pain of her country being destroyed and her family being torn apart, struggling to survive. After all, only by surviving herself could she pass the news back to the past, time and...

After walking to the door with a staggering gait, the middle-aged man, who had aged significantly, took a deep breath, and his bony hands grabbed the rusty doorknob tightly.

Come on! The Laien family, which caused huge deficits in the military and led to a lack of military combat power, has completely died out, and a new Lionheart Duke has been replaced. I want to see what this future will look like!

"Creak!"

Accompanied by the astringent sound of the old door hinge, as if pushing open a door separating two worlds, the sunlight, warm to the point of being dazzling, spilled in, accompanied by incomparably enthusiastic noise, shining on the middle-aged man.

"This... this is?!"

Looking at the exquisite and neat buildings in front of him, the bustling streets, the huge airships flying by with ribbons, and the people gathered around a huge strange screen at the corner of the street, discussing excitedly, the middle-aged man was completely stunned on the spot.

Succeeded! I finally succeeded! The Kingdom is saved!!!

A huge, uncontrollable ecstasy instantly seized his heart. The middle-aged man, with tears and snot streaming down his face, knelt on the ground and let out a hysterical roar involuntarily.

"Oh my! You scared me!"

"What's wrong? Why are you shouting blindly all of a sudden!"

"Prince Li Ang was caught cheating, why is he so happy?"

"Guards! Guards! There's a madman here!"

"..."

Amidst the curious gazes of the passersby and the noisy pointing, the middle-aged man, who had finally seen a beautiful future, suddenly raised his arms and shouted to the sky with ecstasy.

"Long live the Kingdom! Long live the Kingdom!!!"

Startled by his shout, the onlookers retreated a few steps in unison, then whispered to each other with looks of bewilderment.

"Is this person crazy?"

"Is there something wrong? Why shout Long live the Kingdom all of a sudden?"

"Yeah, didn't the Kingdom disappear long ago?"

What did you say? The Kingdom is gone?!!!

After hearing the conversation between the two aunts carrying vegetable baskets next to him, the middle-aged man sprang up from the ground, pounced on the aunt, knocked her directly to the ground, and roared like a madman:

"How could the Kingdom be gone?! Who did it! Who did it!!!"

"No, no, no... not me! Not me!"

Scared to death by the "madman's" actions, fearing that he might bite her if he got angry, the aunt buying vegetables trembled and raised her hand, hurriedly pointing to the big screen at the corner of the street.

"Prince Li Ang did it, go find him if you want! It has nothing to do with me!"

Li Ang... Prince?

Following the aunt's guidance, looking at the strange screen at the corner of the street, and watching the handsome man on it waving his hands repeatedly, emphasizing that the cheating was purely a rumor and that he did nothing that night, the middle-aged man was stunned on the spot.

Li Ang... Laien?

Kill him! I'll go back and kill him right now! ===== CHAPTER 156 =====

Kill him! I'm going back to kill him right now!
