Chapter 167 The True Power of the Gate to the Other World

"I saw it with my own eyes."

After seeing Leon and the princess falling from the sky together through the telescope, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh and explained with a relaxed yet complicated expression:

"The anomaly I have is called the [Gate to the Other World]. In addition to being able to open behind any door in the capital, allowing you to enter the base at any time, it can even open a door to the future."

"what?!"

It seemed like the first time she heard the middle-aged man explain his abilities. The bald-headed woman looked over in surprise and asked with shock in her eyes:

"The future? Is that the future I'm thinking of?"

"Yes, it is the future you imagined. Moreover, this future can be changed. Everything I do after knowing the future can change the future. For example, the slingshot you just shot is the 'answer' I found from the future."

After looking in the direction of Ryan Manor, the middle-aged man with graying temples said with complicated eyes:
"That person from the Cleanup Bureau is really... incredibly cautious. He is absolutely flawless in his work. If there is any disturbance around him, he will immediately use that extremely troublesome ability to protect himself and the princess, without giving them even the slightest chance.

You know, whether it was sneak attacks, traps, or poisoning and explosions, I tried it with your future self more than eighty times yesterday, and changed more than a dozen plans, but he dodged it every time, and we were not able to kill him completely every time.

The two times we were closest to success were when we went out in full force and forced him into a desperate situation at all costs. However, this resulted in the activation of a fatal hair. Except for my sister Phoebe and I, everyone else was killed instantly by that hair and had no ability to resist at all. He was only slightly injured.

The second time, he sent Phoebe, who had amnesia, to get close to him and touch him, making everyone forget his existence. But that person just touched Phoebe's hand, and everyone's memory began to slowly recover. In the end, they still couldn't do anything to him. "

After recalling the "battle of wits and courage" between him and "Prince Leon", the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the bald woman next to him who had been stunned by what he had said, and sighed helplessly:
"This man's abilities are truly disgusting, and he has almost no weaknesses... I really don't know what he has been through to be so cautious, as if someone is ready to harm him at any time."

"..."

Uh...it seems that the guy really did not make a mistake. After all, you tried to "harm" him more than eighty times in one night. If you were not careful enough, he would have been dead long ago.

"Although the man from the Cleanup Bureau was very capable, you still managed to seize the opportunity. So from that perspective, you are more capable!"

After looking at her "tireless harmer" leader with a perverted look, the bald girl said excitedly:
"That's right, Chief! You can actually see the future! With this ability, aren't you invincible? Can't you do whatever you want?"

"no."

The middle-aged man seemed to be in a strange state. He wiped the tears that suddenly welled up from the corners of his eyes with his hand, then shook his head with a somewhat melancholy tone and said:

“Even if you can see the future infinitely many times, you may not be able to really change the future, because some questions are destined to have no answers.”

"This... Chief, I don't understand..."

"To put it simply, there are some things that you know will happen, but you still have no power to change them, such as the future of this country."

After looking at the dazed bald woman, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then smiled with a hint of relief and explained:

"Do you know? Our last attempt to assassinate the princess was actually successful."

"what???"

“It’s true. When I passed through the [Gate to the Other World] and arrived in the future, I sent Luke to control the princess’s attendant and successfully killed her. However, not long after she died, the future me found a way to send back the news.

My future self said that even in the future without the princess, the kingdom still was not saved, it just went from being completely broken to barely surviving.

Because I was soft-hearted for a moment, after I retreated from the door to the future, I changed the plan a little bit, and asked the guard controlled by Luke to choose another guard position, and voluntarily gave up the chance to successfully assassinate him. "

"Ah... this..." Hearing that the failed assassination attempt was actually given up by their leader, the stunned bald woman was stunned for a while, then suddenly rushed over and grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulders, and asked with veins throbbing:

"Why! Why! And! She is the princess! You are a rebel! You actually told me that you are soft-hearted? What the hell are you talking about?"

"I can't help it. I can't help but be soft-hearted. She is my sister after all."

"what???"

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and wiped off the foundation used to cover the blemishes on his cheeks, revealing a few irregular freckles that looked like they were stained with dirt. The middle-aged man said with complicated eyes:
"If it weren't for her, I would have been killed in the capital the second year after the war broke out. Since the kingdom would have ended in the same tragedy with or without her, how could I have the heart to kill her?"

"???????"

So the leader of the rebellion... turned out to be the prince of the kingdom? I... then what have I been doing in the past?
Looking at the middle-aged man's weathered face and the extremely distinctive freckles, the bald girl felt her blood rushing to her head. She almost went crazy on the spot and asked stutteringly:

"Are you really Joshua? That stupid prince? How is that possible! You? You?!"

"I've said before, my ability is called [Gate to the Other World]."

Looking at the Ryan Manor in the distance, the middle-aged man said with a lonely look:

"A powerful anomaly that can observe the future at will naturally has to pay an incomparable price, and the price I paid is the same as the name of this ability.

After thirty years of suffering due to the destruction of the kingdom, I chose to step into the door to the other world and completely give up everything I had. I had no family, no past, and even no future.

Now I am just a ghost wandering in the other world. Even if I get the chance to save the kingdom and change all the regrets, all the regrets that have been changed have nothing to do with me anymore. This is the price I have to pay for using the gate to the other world."

"..."

After explaining the truth about his ability, the middle-aged man looked at the bald girl with a completely distorted expression, wiped away his tears, and bowed slightly with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry. I was going to take this secret to my grave, but in a few minutes, my sister...the princess will disappear from everyone's memory, and I will forget her too. I can't help it. I want to find someone to talk to while my memory is still intact."

"You...I...damn it! Why did you look for me? Why didn't you...Hmm? Hmm!"

"Because among all of us, I can only beat you. Sorry."

After pinching the bald woman's mouth and forcibly pouring some strange crumbs into it, the middle-aged man said to the terrified bald woman:

"Don't worry, what I gave you is not poison. It is a powder made from Phoebe's fingernails. According to the dosage, it will only make you lose your memory for about an hour.

You should get some sleep first, just a little sleep...Also, thank you for listening to my secrets, I feel much better after telling everything."

"..."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her who was thanking her with an apologetic look on his face, the bald woman struggled twice but failed to break free. Her mouth was pinched so she couldn't curse, so she could only express her anger with her eyes.

You're feeling better! But now I'm starting to feel worse! Let me go, you bastard! Fuck!

Protruding!
