Chapter 156: 155 Vegetable Basket and Transaction

~7 min read 1,384 words

"Bang!"

After figuring out who destroyed the Kingdom, the strange explosion that had "sent away" the other rebels sounded again. The middle-aged man lying on the aunt buying vegetables shivered violently and regained his consciousness.

Am I... temporarily replaced by my past self?

After figuring out what had just happened, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He hurriedly reached into his bosom and took out a small leather booklet.

After carefully checking the booklet and finding no traces of it being flipped through, and that his past self hadn't seen the records on it, the middle-aged man's expression changed again and again. Then, he grabbed the aunt's shoulders and roared with anxiety while shaking her desperately:

"Tell me quickly! What did I do? What did I just do!"

This madman... why does he look even crazier than before?

Looking at his eyes that seemed to want to eat people, the aunt tightened her grip on the vegetable basket in her hand, wanting to give him a hard hit on the back of the head, but worried that the force wouldn't be enough and instead of knocking him down, she would provoke him, so she could only answer tremblingly:

"You just... just asked me who made the Kingdom disappear..."

"Then how did you say it? How exactly did you say it!"

"I, I, I... I just said it as it was..."

Frightened out of her wits by the middle-aged man's increasingly crazy expression, the aunt answered with a crying face:

"Didn't Prince Li Ang make the Kingdom disappear? He announced it himself five years ago."

"After that? What else did I say after I finished listening?"

"You... after you finished listening, you gritted your teeth and repeated Prince Li Ang's name, then let out a strange howl, and then... then you lay on me and didn't move..."

"..."

Finished!

Imagining the scene described by the aunt and knowing that his past self had mostly misunderstood something, the middle-aged man's cold sweat suddenly broke out, directly soaking his clothes on his back.

His past self repeatedly used anomalous objects to observe the future, but the results he saw were worse each time. Although he was still struggling constantly, he was actually almost in despair in his heart.

According to his past mental state, coming out this time and hearing that the Kingdom had completely disappeared, his first reaction would definitely not be to think in a good direction, but to think in worse directions like the country being destroyed and family dead early, and being completely occupied.

And with his paranoid and crazy nature at that time, after returning to the body in the original timeline, the first thing he would do next would probably be to find a way to kill Prince Li Ang!

I am an idiot! I am an idiot! You should have at least finished reading the booklet I wrote before leaving!

After slapping himself twice with a round arm, in order to avoid changing this world which was the only one with a relatively good result, the middle-aged man sprang up from the ground, preparing to find other people with time-series abilities and find a way to stop his past self from doing stupid things.

However, unfortunately, the middle-aged man had just climbed up when a vegetable basket packed to the brim was thrown from behind and hit the back of his head with a bang.

This hit was extremely hard, not only knocking the middle-aged man to the ground on the spot, but even two radishes in the vegetable basket that were bigger than a human head were shattered in the violent collision.

"Ouch! My radishes!"

Just as the aunt picked up the vegetable basket with heartache, preparing to see if the radishes could still be eaten, the middle-aged man who had been knocked down by the basket began to struggle to crawl forward, and while crawling, he shouted desperately at the surrounding crowd who were frightened.

"Quick... quick send me... send me to the Cleaning Bureau! This world... must be saved by me..."

"Save your ass!"

After hitting him again with the vegetable basket, looking at the middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground and stopped moving, having completely fainted, the aunt curled her lips with disgust:

"This madman... still saving the world? Do you really think you are Prince Li Ang! Hey? By the way, who is Prince Li Ang?"

Eliminate him! Li Ang Lian! This person who ended the Kingdom must

be eliminated!

After returning to his body, the middle-aged man who was "napping" on the long table opened his eyes suddenly, then took a deep breath with full murderous intent, preparing to summon all the rebels who had mastered anomalous abilities back and re-formulate a new assassination plan.

However, just as he raised his hand and wanted to activate the anomalous object again, he heard a strange knocking sound that was almost imperceptible.

Who is it?!

Hearing the intermittent knocking outside, the middle-aged man couldn't help but tremble all over, and a thick look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

His anomalous object 【Gate of the Other World】, in addition to being able to briefly reach the future, can also keep moving behind all the doors in the entire Capital. Only a few doors he has identified can stably enter the world behind the doors.

And the fact that the other party could successfully knock on the 【Gate of the Other World】 without his noticing anything means that he knows which are the "True Doors" and has the ability to find him directly.

Just as the middle-aged man hesitated whether to withdraw immediately or call everyone back to fight, a voice as cold as ice shards came from outside the door.

"Nathan, it's me."

After pushing open the door that no longer twisted strangely and became completely stable, an old man wearing a black robe walked in, then reached out to lift the hood on his head, revealing a face that looked naturally like it was crying.

"The places where you put the doors are becoming harder and harder to find. I rode a carriage around the Capital for a long time before I barely found such a True Door that was about to disappear."

"This is also a matter of no help. That person who plays with mice in the Cleaning Bureau is very troublesome. There are his eyes and ears everywhere in the Capital. If I weren't cautious, I'm afraid I would have been caught long ago."

Finding that it was not someone from the Cleaning Bureau, but the black-robed old man who had cooperated with him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then asked with a frown:

"After you came to see last time, didn't you say that all of us are waste products, including me, and none of us met your requirements, and you wouldn't have any contact with us in the future? Why did you suddenly come to the door again?"

"I came to find you, naturally because I need your help."

Seeming not to hear the resentment in the middle-aged man's tone, the black-robed old man's thin and drooping eyebrows raised slightly, and he said coldly:

"Just a few hours ago, I found something that might meet my requirements. That thing should be a photo, placed in the drawer of the Director's office of the Cleaning Bureau's Wang Gong branch.

Nathan, you should have seen with your own eyes in a certain future how strong that woman from the Wang Gong Cleaning Bureau is. I am not sure I can get the thing I want without alerting her, so I need to borrow your power."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately understood the black-robed old man's meaning.

"You want me to move the 【Gate of the Other World】 behind the door of her office, and let you sneak in directly through the 【Gate of the Other World】?"

"Yes."

"Can, but as an exchange, you also have to do me a favor."

After a little pondering, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said:

"Help me temporarily strengthen Fei Bi's ability, so that the person she touches will directly disappear from everyone's memory. Can you do it?" ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
