Chapter 155: Market Basket and Transaction

"boom!"

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 woman buying vegetables shuddered suddenly and regained consciousness.

Am I...temporarily replaced by my past self?
After understanding what had just happened, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He quickly reached into his arms and took out a leather booklet.

After carefully checking the booklet, he found that there was no sign of it having been flipped through. His past self had not seen the record on it. The middle-aged man's face changed again and again. He then grabbed the shoulders of the grocer under him, shook her desperately, and shouted anxiously:

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

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

Seeing his murderous look, the woman who was buying vegetables tightened her basket in her hand, wanting to hit him hard on the back of the head. However, she was worried that her strength was not enough and that she would piss him off instead of knocking him down. She could only reply tremblingly:
"You just...just asked me who destroyed the kingdom..."

"So what did you say? What on earth did you say?!"

"I, I, I...I'm just telling the truth..."

Frightened by the middle-aged man's increasingly crazy expression, the grocery shopping aunt replied with a sad face:

"Wasn't it Prince Leon who destroyed the kingdom? He announced it himself five years ago."

"What happened next? What else did you say after I heard it?"

“You… after you heard it, you repeated Prince Leon’s name through gritted teeth, then raised your neck and howled strangely, and then… then you lay on top of me and didn’t move…”

"..."

Done!

Imagining the scene described by the grocery shopping lady, the middle-aged man knew that his past self had probably misunderstood something. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his body, soaking through the clothes on his back.

In the past, I repeatedly used anomalies to observe the future, but the results I saw were worse each time. Although I was still struggling, I was actually almost in despair.

According to his past mental state, when he opened the door this time and heard that the kingdom had completely disappeared, his first reaction would definitely not be to think about the good side, but to think about the worse side, such as the country being destroyed early and the family being ruined, or being completely occupied.

And given his paranoid and crazy personality at that time, after returning to the body of the original timeline, the first thing he would do would probably be to find a way to kill Prince Leon!

I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot! At least read the booklet I wrote before you leave!

After swinging his arms and slapping himself twice, in order to prevent the only world with a good outcome from being changed, the middle-aged man suddenly jumped up from the ground and prepared to find other people with time-related abilities to find a way to stop his past self from doing stupid things.

Unfortunately, just as the middle-aged man got up, a basket full of vegetables was thrown from behind and hit him on the back of the head with a bang.

The blow was so powerful that not only did it knock the middle-aged man to the ground, but even the two radishes in the basket, which were bigger than human heads, were shattered in the violent collision.

"Ouch! My carrot!"

Just as the woman who was buying vegetables picked up the basket with concern and was about to see if the radishes were still edible, the middle-aged man who was knocked down by the basket began to struggle to crawl forward, and while crawling, he shouted at the frightened crowd around him at the top of his lungs.

"Hurry... hurry and send me... send me to the Cleanup Bureau! This world... needs me to save it..." "You can't save a shit!"

After swinging the basket and hitting him again, the middle-aged man fell to the ground and couldn't move. The woman buying vegetables curled her lips with disgust and said:
"This madman... wants to save the world? Do you really think you are Prince Leon? Hey? Who is Prince Leon?"

……

Get rid of him! Leon Lion! The man who ended the kingdom must be eliminated!
After returning to his body, the middle-aged man who was "taking a nap" on the long table suddenly opened his eyes, then took a deep breath with murderous intent in his eyes, preparing to recall all the rebels who had mastered abnormal abilities and to formulate a new assassination plan.

However, just as he raised his hand and was about to activate the abnormal object again, he heard a strange knock on the door.

who is it? !
Hearing the intermittent knocks on the door outside, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder all over, and a strong look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

His anomaly [Gate to the Other World], in addition to being able to briefly reach the future, can also move continuously behind all the doors in the entire royal capital. Only the few doors recognized by him can allow him to stably enter the world behind the doors.

The fact that the other party was able to successfully knock on the [Door to the Other World] without him noticing meant that he knew which were the "real doors" and had the ability to find them directly.

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

"Nathan, it's me."

After pushing open the door that was no longer twisting strangely and had become completely stable, an old man in a black robe walked in. He then reached out and lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face that looked like it was born to cry.

"It's getting harder and harder to find the door you put there. I rode in a carriage around the capital for a long time before I finally found a real door that was about to disappear."

"There's nothing I can do about it. The rat player in the Cleanup Bureau is very troublesome. His spies are everywhere in the capital. If I hadn't been more careful, I would have been caught long ago."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the people who came were not from the Virgin Cleaning Bureau, but the old man in black robes with whom he had cooperated. Then he frowned and asked:

"Last time you came to see me, didn't you say that all of us were discarded, including me, and none of us met your requirements, and that you would not have any contact with us in the future? Why did you suddenly come to my door again?"

"I came to you because I need your help."

As if he didn't hear the resentment in the middle-aged man's tone, the old man in black robe raised his slender and drooping eyebrows slightly and said indifferently:
"Just a few hours ago I found something that might fit my bill. It was a photograph in the drawer of the office of the chief of the Virgin Division of the Bureau of Clearance.

Nathan, you should have seen with your own eyes how powerful that woman from the Virgin Cleanup Bureau is in the future. I'm not sure I can get what I want without alerting her, so I need your help."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and immediately understood what the black old man meant.

"Do you want me to move the [Door to the Other World] behind the door of her office so that you can sneak in directly through the [Door to the Other World]?"

"Correct."

"Okay, but in exchange, you have to do me a favor."

After a brief thought, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said:
"Can you help me temporarily strengthen Phoebe's ability so that anyone she touches will disappear from everyone's memory?"
