Chapter 558: Vegetable Basket and Transaction

"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 shuddered, regaining 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 leather booklet.

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

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

This lunatic... how does he look even crazier than before?

Looking at his eyes that seemed to want to eat people, the aunt buying vegetables tightened her grip on the vegetable basket, wanting to give him a hard blow on the back of his head, but worried that the strength wasn't enough and instead of knocking him down, she would provoke 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:

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

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

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

"..."

Finished!

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

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

According to his past mental state, when he came out after opening the door this time, his first reaction would definitely not be to think in a good direction, but to ponder in a worse direction, such as the country being destroyed early and completely occupied.

And with my paranoid and crazy temperament at that time, after returning to the body in the original timeline, the first thing I 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 full swing, in order to avoid this world, which was the only one with a good result, from being changed, the middle-aged man sprang up from the ground, preparing to find others with time-based abilities to find a way to stop his past self from doing stupid things.

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

This blow was extremely heavy, not only knocking the middle-aged man down on the spot but even shattering two radishes as big as human heads in the basket upon violent collision.

"Ouch! My radishes!"

Just as the aunt buying vegetables picked up the basket with a 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 to the crowd around him who were frightened.

"Quick... send me... send me to the Cleaning Bureau! This world... needs me to save it!" "You save a fart!"

After giving him another blow with the vegetable basket, looking at the middle-aged man who fell to the ground and stopped moving, having completely passed out, the aunt buying vegetables pouted 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?"

Eliminate him! Li Ang Bobby Laien! 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 to 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, intermittent knocking sound.

Who is it?!

Hearing the intermittent knocking sound outside, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder, and a thick sense of vigilance floated in the bottom of his eyes.

His anomalous object 【Door of the Other World】, besides being able to briefly reach the future, could also move continuously behind all the doors in the entire Capital. Only a few doors recognized by him could stably enter the world behind the door.

And the fact that the other party could successfully knock on the 【Door of the Other World】 without him noticing anything meant that he knew which were the "true doors" and had the ability to find him directly.

Just as the middle-aged man was hesitating whether to evacuate immediately or call everyone back to fight, a cold voice like 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 born with a crying look.

"The place where you put the door is getting 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."

"There's no other way. That person who plays with rats in the Cleaning Bureau is very troublesome. There are his eyes and ears all over the Capital. If I weren't cautious, I would have been caught long ago."

Finding that the person who came wasn't from the Virgo Cleaning Bureau, but a 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 products, including me, and that none of us met your requirements, and that 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:

"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 Cleaning Bureau."

"Nathan, how strong the woman in the Virgo Cleaning Bureau is, you should have seen it with your own eyes in some future. 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.

"Are you trying to get me to move the 【Door of the Other World】 behind the door of her office, so you can sneak in directly through the 【Door of the Other World】?"

"Yes."

"Can, 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 Phoebe's ability, so that the person she touches will disappear from everyone's memory, can you?"
