"Bang!"

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

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

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

After carefully checking the small booklet and finding that there was no trace of it being flipped, the past self had not seen the records on it. The middle-aged man's face changed again and again, then he grabbed the shoulders of the aunt buying vegetables under him, shaking her desperately while roaring anxiously:

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

This lunatic... why does he look crazier than just now?

Looking at his eyes that seemed to want to eat someone, the aunt buying vegetables tightened her grip on the vegetable basket, wanting to give him a hard hit on the back of his head, but worried that the force was not enough, and instead of knocking him down, she provoked him, so she could only answer tremblingly:

"You just... you just asked me who made the kingdom disappear..."

"Then what did you say? What exactly did you say!"

"I I I... I just told the truth..."

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

"Isn't the kingdom made to disappear by Prince Li Ang? He announced it himself five years ago."

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

"You... after listening, you gritted your teeth and repeated Prince Li Ang's name, then raised your neck and howled strangely, and then... then you lay on me and didn't move..."

"..."

Done for!

Imagining the scene described by the aunt buying vegetables, knowing that the past self had mostly misunderstood something, the middle-aged man's cold sweat suddenly broke out, soaking the clothes behind him.

The past self repeatedly borrowed anomalous objects to observe the future, but the results seen were worse than the last. Although he was still struggling constantly, he was actually almost desperate in his heart.

According to his past mental state, when he opened the door and came out this time, hearing that the kingdom had completely disappeared, his first reaction would definitely not be to think in a good direction, but to think in a worse direction, such as the country being destroyed and the family being destroyed early, and being completely occupied.

And with his paranoid and crazy nature at that time, after returning to the body of 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 his face twice with his arms, in order to avoid the only world that was still a good result from being changed, the middle-aged man sprang up from the ground, preparing to find other people with time-based abilities and find a way to stop his past self from doing stupid things.

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

This hit was extremely ruthless, 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 buying vegetables picked up the vegetable basket with heartache, preparing to see if the radishes could still be eaten, the middle-aged man who was knocked down by a basket began to struggle to crawl forward. And while crawling, he shouted desperately to the crowd around him who were frightened.

"Quick... quick send me... send me to the Cleanup Bureau! This world... must be saved by me!" "You save a fart!"

After giving him another hit with the vegetable basket, looking at the middle-aged man who fell to the ground and stopped moving, having completely fainted, the aunt buying vegetables curled her lips in disgust:

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

Get rid of him! Li Ang·Ryan! This person who ended the kingdom must be gotten rid of!

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 killing intent, preparing to call back all the rebels who had mastered anomalous abilities 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 non-existent.

Who is it?!

Hearing the intermittent knocking sound outside, the middle-aged man could not help but shudder, 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 move continuously behind all the doors in the entire capital. Only the doors identified by him can stably enter the world behind the door.

And the other party being able to knock on the 【Gate of the Other World】 without his any awareness meant that he knew which were "real doors" and had the ability to find him directly.

Just when the middle-aged man was hesitating whether to evacuate 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 was naturally crying.

"The place where you put the door is really getting harder and harder to find. I took a carriage and strolled around the capital for a long time before I barely found such a real door that was about to disappear."

"There's no way around it. The person who plays with mice in the Cleanup Bureau is troublesome. There are his eyes and ears everywhere in the capital. If I wasn't careful, I'm afraid I would have been caught long ago."

Finding that it was not someone from the Virgo Cleanup Bureau, but the black-robed old man who had cooperated with him, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and asked:

"After you came to see me last time, didn't you say that all of us were waste, 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 Virgo Branch of the Cleanup Bureau."

"Nathan, you should have seen with your own eyes in a certain future how strong the woman in the Virgo Cleanup Bureau is. I don't have the confidence to get the thing I want without alarming her, so I need to borrow your power."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and immediately understood the meaning of the black-robed old man.

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

"Yes."

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

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

"Help me temporarily strengthen Feibi's ability, so that people touched by her will disappear directly from everyone's memory, can you?"
