Chapter 206: 205 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part 3-2)

205 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part 3-2)

【Name: Door of the Other Side (Door, Space, Escape)】

【Appearance: No physical form, manifested as a strange door of uncertain width, unknown size, unknown thickness, and difficult-to-determine material and style.

The only certain feature of this anomalous object is that a cork nameplate will appear on the door frame of the door it parasitizes, with the strange words "I want to escape" carved on it with fingernails.】

【Ability: Parasitize doors, space shuttle, crisis transfer】

【Cost: Before the "door" that is put down disappears, a part of the power will be permanently occupied/lose everything possessed, becoming a wanderer arriving at the other world.】

【File: An anomalous object belonging to "Nathan," the rebel leader roaming the capital. One of the many functional anomalous objects created by the Aquarius Director of the Bureau of Cleanup to achieve a wish. Tentatively designated as 0001.】

As part of the Water Bottle Director's most proud work, to ensure the safety of this anomalous object, he forcibly meshed it with another anomalous object named "Escape Nameplate," additionally granting the holder extremely strong escape ability.

And relying on the powerful effect of "Door of the Other Side" which can ignore distance, even though they encountered extremely strict searches by the Wang Guo for several years, the rebels with a total membership of over a thousand people had never truly been exposed, until they received the attention of Li Ang·Laien, a cleaner from the Chuchu branch, in an attack activity...】

【Evaluation: Has the powerful ability to shuttle freely between all the doors in the entire capital, and can be activated unconditionally when encountering a crisis, instantly taking the holder away, almost impossible to capture.

In addition, when opened by the first user Watching Watching Qiaoshuya·Robien himself, this anomalous object will reveal its true form, becoming a "Door of the Other Side" that can briefly connect to the future.】

【Infection Value: 0.1】

Damn, it's truly watertight...

Looking at the words "escape," "crisis transfer," and "impossible to capture" that appeared repeatedly in the item description, Li Ang, who was eyeing this "anywhere door," couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart, temporarily giving up the idea of taking this thing while he was at it.

To this, it can only be said that whether it's the Director who isn't drunk or the old silver coin that is the Water Bottle Director, those who can climb to the high level of the Cleaning Bureau are all protecting their heads and butts when doing things, not even willing to leave a hole the size of a needle for others to drill.

Thinking about it carefully, it's normal. After all, if they were really the kind of people who were careless in doing things and didn't leave enough backhands, let alone mixing into the high level of the Cleaning Bureau, they would likely have fallen into that one-tenth annual death rate within the first few months of joining the Cleaning Bureau. Those who aren't cautious enough among these people are the minority.

Hmm... but even if I likely won't be able to get this extremely easy-to-use anomalous object in the end, this trip first found the hidden other prince, then saw the "grandparents" with memory abilities, and also heard a lot of intelligence. All three undercover goals are almost completed. It seems it's time to close the net.

Regretfully taking his hand off the 【Door of the Other Side】, Li Ang reached into his bosom and tapped the small mirror, signaling the young husky to take the valley terrain map he drew yesterday... or rather, the location map of the rebel stronghold, and return to the Bureau to shake people immediately. Then, amidst the surprised gazes of everyone, he turned and walked back to his seat.

"Lord Neisen, your ability, should be peeping into the future, right?"

After speaking out his "inference," Li Ang looked at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face at the head of the table, and secretly switched out the 【Elite Performer】 badge, revealing an expression of extreme disappointment.

"It's a pity, no matter what you saw in the future, I still think that your command of us has made a series of extremely serious mistakes."

If I had "shaken people" yesterday, the one who came to "close the net" should have been my own Director, but now the Director has likely already set off for the headquarters to initiate questioning of the Water Bottle. So the person sitting in the Bureau should be Senior Auntie Ai Ma.

And because the rebels' stronghold is not in the capital, in this remote valley far from the capital, it will take Senior Auntie Ai Ma some time to come over. Plus the time it takes for the young husky to run back from the Mirror World to report, it will likely take about forty or fifty minutes in total.

What I need to do now is to drag all the members in the room, especially the middle-aged man who is the leader, and that pair of grandparents with memory abilities, during these forty or fifty minutes before the "fishing net" arrives, so that Senior Auntie Ai Ma can arrest them and completely complete the established undercover goals.

After determining his task was to drag time, Li Ang didn't wait for the middle-aged man to open his mouth to refute, and said directly:

"I don't know what kind of future you saw, and I don't understand why you want to attack the landing tower, but there is one thing I am very clear about. If we continue to act according to your command, it will only lead us to a new failure!"

"..."

"What do you know again?"

Hearing the very arbitrary evaluation of "Little Bajinsi," the middle-aged man, who had been enduring for a long time, couldn't help but feel a nameless fire rise in his heart. He stood up and glared at Li Ang:

"You don't know at all what I saw in the future! If you don't do as I say, next Keliuoke... hmm..."

When he said this, the middle-aged man paused slightly, then touched his temples, sat back down, and scolded with anger in his eyes:

"You don't understand anything at all!"

"I understand."

Grabbing the sheep horn that successfully provoked the other party's anger and secretly stuffing it back into the small mirror, Li Ang, who had finished his tricks, looked at the middle-aged Watching Watching Qiaoshuya who was in a mess, first looked at the temples that had suddenly turned quite white, and then asked with a calm expression:

"Lord Neisen, if I didn't guess wrong, you seem unable to reveal the future to us directly. Otherwise, you would age rapidly, or even die directly... Did I guess right?"

"Right!"

Having eaten a rage aura from the Black Goat, the middle-aged Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, whose IQ had temporarily dropped by thirty points, directly admitted this guess. At this moment, he only felt the anger in his heart burning more and more fiercely. He forcibly suppressed himself from opening his mouth to insult, but asked with a gloomy face:

"Since you believe I can see the future, why do you still question my decision?"

"Very simple, what I question is not the future you saw, but your judgment of the future, or to put it more bluntly, what I question is you as a person."

Amidst the confused expressions of the rebels, "Little Bajinsi," who had just joined the rebel core group, actually stood up directly, gazing at the middle-aged man who was the leader, and said with an incomparable sincerity:

"Lord Neisen, I'm sorry, I think you don't have the talent to be a leader. Even if you can see the future, you can't make the most correct judgment based on the information you get... and I am very sure that I am not the only one who thinks so."

After saying this, Li Ang looked around and nodded with a hint of apology:

"Everyone, I'm sorry... Those who think what I said is right, and feel that Lord Neisen doesn't have the talent to be a leader, please bow to me."?!!!

Completely not expecting that the dispute between "Little Bajinsi" and the leader would also affect them, the group of rebels, caught off guard, stood up in unison under the constraint of the 【Traveler King】 badge and performed a standard bowing ceremony toward Li Ang.

The only two people in the whole room who didn't bow were little Phoebe, who was sleeping on the table with a milk candy, and the bald woman who was a die-hard "Leader Faction."

However, what was even more fatal was that after seeing everyone "agree" with Little Bains's words and feel that Lord Neisen wasn't a qualified leader, the bald woman, who had been shocked, hesitated for a while, and actually bent down as well because of her "inner hesitation."

"You... impossible! You lied!"

Looking at the rebel members who had one by one agreed with Li Ang's statement and really stood up to bow to him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but have his eyes shake violently, but he quickly reacted and glared at Li Ang:

"The activation condition of your ability is absolutely not convincing others! I have always been correct in the past! Every time I went out, even if I didn't succeed, I could retreat unscathed! I am an excellent... at least a qualified leader! They... they shouldn't feel that way!"

"Alright..."

Li Ang didn't argue with him upon hearing this, but looked at him with a hint of pity, then nodded obediently:

"If thinking this way can make you feel better... then let's just say I lied to you."

"..."

Everyone has been so thoroughly "betrayed" to his face. Even if he can run away from Senior Auntie Ai Ma later, he likely won't be thinking about taking others with him, right?

After glancing at the middle-aged man whose self-confidence had suffered an unprecedented blow and who was completely stunned by the sudden "betrayal," in order to prevent him from still holding any hope and trying to take others with him later, Li Ang decided to add another fire while it was hot.

"I actually can understand why everyone thinks so."

Amidst the still somewhat confused expressions of the rebels, Li Ang sighed directly and expressed his opinion on their behalf:

"Lord Neisen, you don't understand. What we who are willing to join the rebels want is not that every attack can succeed, but to see a better future!

The future here doesn't refer to the future you saw, but that everything is getting changed! It's everyone's future, and even the future of the entire Wang Guo, is moving toward a better direction. But what have you given us?"

When he said this, Li Ang paused slightly, giving everyone time to think along with his words, but didn't give too much, and immediately summarized for them:

"Attacks! Attacks! Still attacks!"

"Attacking wealthy merchants, attacking officials, attacking nobles, attacking the royal family... You don't know at all how to make everything move toward a better direction, you only know how to launch one meaningless destruction after another!"

"In the years you have led the rebels... sorry, I haven't thought about using other non-derogatory words, but after thinking about it, only the two words 'rebels' are more suitable for our meaningless actions over the years."

After questioning the "rationality" of the rebels' existence and making the middle-aged Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's face turn blue, Li Ang, who was used to killing people and punishing their hearts, relied on the effect of 【Elite Performer】 and added a knife "extremely painfully":

"After so many years of your efforts to attack, have those greedy and cruel factory owners become kind? Have those corrupt and incompetent officials become capable? Have those arrogant and presumptuous nobles restrained themselves? Has the always incompetent royal family changed?"

"If none of them have, then what exactly did you attack? You can only lead us to carry out 'successful' destruction everywhere, but you are extremely unsuccessful in all other aspects. How are you embarrassed to say that you are a qualified leader?"

"Lord Neisen! Do you understand now why everyone is unwilling to continue following behind you?" ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
