Chapter 205 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part )

[Name: The Gate to the Other Side (gate, space, escape)]

[Appearance: It has no entity, and appears as a strange door of uncertain width, unknown size, unknown thickness, and difficult to determine material and style.

The only identifiable feature of this anomaly is that on the door frame where it parasitizes, there will always be a cork nameplate with the strange words "I want to escape" carved on it with fingernails.

[Abilities: Parasitic doors, space travel, crisis transfer]

[Price: Before the "door" you put down disappears, a part of your power will be permanently occupied/you will lose everything you have and become a wanderer who reaches the other world]

[File: An anomaly of the rebel leader "Nathan" who roams around the capital. It is one of the large number of functional anomalies created by Director Aquarius of the Cleanup Bureau in order to fulfill his wish. It is tentatively numbered 0001.

As part of Director Aquarius's most proud work, in order to ensure the safety of this anomaly, he forcibly meshed it with another anomaly called the "Escape Plate", giving the holder an additional strong escape ability.

Thanks to the powerful effect of the "Gate of the Other Side" that can ignore distance, even though the kingdom has been conducting extremely strict searches for several years, the rebel gang with more than a thousand members has never been truly exposed, until they caught the attention of Leon Ryan, a cleaner at the Virgin Branch, during an attack...】

[Evaluation: It has the powerful ability to freely shuttle between all the doors in the entire royal capital, and can be activated unconditionally in times of crisis, taking the holder away instantly, making it almost impossible to capture.

In addition, when the first user Joshua Robin opened it, this anomaly revealed its true form, becoming a "gateway to the other world" that could temporarily penetrate the future.

[Infiltration value: 0.1]

Damn, it's really watertight...

Looking at the words "escape", "crisis transfer", "uncatchable" and so on that appeared repeatedly in the item description, Leon, who was thinking about this "anywhere door", couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to get this thing.

All I can say about this is that no matter whether it was the director when he was not drunk, or the old silver coin who was the Aquarius director, those who could climb to a high position in the Cleanup Bureau seemed to be protecting both their heads and buttocks when doing things, and they were unwilling to leave even a hole as small as a needle hole for others to drill into.

If you think about it carefully, it is normal. After all, if someone is the kind of person who is careless and doesn't keep enough backup plans, let alone making it to the top of the Cleanup Bureau, it is estimated that within the first few months after joining the Cleanup Bureau, he would have died in the annual mortality rate of one tenth. Among these people, only a minority are not cautious enough.

Well...even if it is very likely that I won't get this extremely useful anomaly in the end, I have first found the other hidden prince, met the "grandparents" with memory abilities, and also got a lot of information. Almost all three potential targets have been achieved, and it seems that it is time to close the net.

After regretfully taking his hand back from [The Gate to the Other Side], Leon reached into his bosom and knocked on the small mirror, motioning Youha to hold the valley topographic map he had drawn yesterday... or rather the location map of the rebel stronghold, and immediately go back to the bureau to call for help. Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he turned around and walked back to his seat.

"Sir Nathan, your ability should be to peek into the future, right?"

After speaking out his "inference", Leon looked at the gloomy middle-aged man in the main seat, secretly switched out the [Elite Performer] badge, and revealed an extremely disappointed expression.

"Regrettably, no matter what you see in the future, I still believe that you have made a series of extremely serious mistakes in commanding us."

……

If I had "called for help" yesterday, it should have been my own director who came to "close the net", but now the director has most likely left for the general bureau to initiate questioning of Aquarius, so the person in charge in the bureau should be Senior Emma.

And since the rebels' base is not in the royal capital, but in a remote valley far away from the royal capital, it will take some time for Senior Emma to get here. Taking into account the time it takes Youha to run back from the mirror world to report the news, it is estimated to take about 40 to 50 minutes in total.

What he had to do now was to find a way to detain all the members present during the forty or fifty minutes when the "fishing net" arrived, especially the middle-aged man who was the leader, and the grandparents and grandchildren who had the ability to remember, so that Senior Emma could arrest them and completely complete the established lurking goal.

After confirming that his mission was to delay time, Leon did not wait for the middle-aged man to refute, and directly said in a shocking way:
"I don't know what kind of future you see, nor do I understand why you want to attack the boarding tower, but one thing I know very well, if we continue to act according to your command, it will only lead us to new failure in the end!"

"..."

"What do you know?"

Hearing the very arbitrary evaluation of "Little Baggins", the middle-aged man, who had been patient for a long time, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He stood up and glared at Leon and said:
"You have no idea what kind of future I see! If you don't do as I say, what will happen next to Korok... um..."

At this point, the middle-aged man couldn't help but pause slightly, then touched his temples, sat back down again, and shouted angrily:

"You don't understand anything at all!"

"I understand."

After grabbing the sheep horns that had successfully provoked the other party's anger and secretly stuffing them back into the small mirror, Leon, who had finished his trick, looked at the middle-aged man who was in a state of panic. He first glanced at his temples that had suddenly turned a lot white, and then asked calmly: "Sir Nathan, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that you can't directly reveal the future to us, otherwise you will age quickly or even die directly... Am I right?"

"Correct!"

After consuming the Black Goat's rage aura, the middle-aged Joshua, whose IQ temporarily dropped by thirty percentage points, directly admitted this guess. At this moment, he felt the flames of anger in his heart burning more and more fiercely. He forced himself to hold back and did not curse, but instead asked with a sinister look in his eyes:

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

"It's very simple. I'm not questioning the future you see, but your judgment of the future. Or to put it more bluntly, I'm questioning you as a person."

Amid the bewildered looks of the rebels, "Little Baggins", who had just joined the core group of the rebels, actually stood up and stared at the middle-aged man who was the leader, and said with an extremely sincere expression:

"Sir Nathan, I'm sorry, but I don't think you 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'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so."

After saying this, Leon looked around and nodded slightly apologetically:

"Everyone, I'm sorry... Those who think what I said is right and that Mr. Nathan does not have the talent to be a leader, please bow to me."

? ! ! !
They had never expected that the dispute between "Little Baggins" and the leader would actually affect themselves. The unprepared rebels, under the help of Prince Robin, stood up again in unison and bowed to Leon in a standard manner.

The only two people in the room who did not salute were little Phoebe, who had fallen asleep on the table at some point, and the bald girl who was a die-hard "leader".

However, what is even more terrible is that after seeing that everyone "agreed" with little Baggins' words and felt that Lord Nathan was not a qualified leader, the bald girl with a shocked face hesitated for a moment, and actually bent down because of her "inner turmoil".

"You... Impossible! You're lying!"

Seeing the rebels who agreed with Leon's speech and really stood up and bowed to him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be shocked, but he quickly reacted and glared at Leon and said:
"The activation condition of your ability is definitely not to convince others! I have always been right in the past! Every time I go out, even if I fail, I can retreat safely! I am an excellent... at least a qualified leader! They... they shouldn't think so!"

"All right……"

Upon hearing this, Leon did not argue with him, but looked at him with a hint of pity, then nodded obediently:

"If thinking this way can make you feel better...then just think of it as me lying to you."

"..."

After being "betrayed" harshly in front of everyone, even if he could escape from Senior Emma later, he would probably not think of taking others with him, right?

Looking at the middle-aged man whose self-confidence had suffered an unprecedented blow and who was stunned by the sudden "betrayal", in order to prevent him from holding on to any hope and trying to escape with others later, Leon decided to add fuel to the fire while the fire was hot.

"I can actually understand why people would think this way."

While the rebels were still somewhat confused, Leon sighed and spoke for them:

"Sir Nathan, you don't understand. For those of us who are willing to join the rebels, what we want is not that every attack will be successful, but to actually see a better future!

The future here does not refer to the kind of future you see, but everything is changing! It is everyone's future, and even the future of the entire kingdom, which is moving in a better direction, but what have you given us?"

At this point, Leon paused slightly, giving everyone time to think about what he said, but not too much time. Instead, he immediately summed it up for them:
"Attack! Attack! Attack again!"

“You attack wealthy businessmen, officials, nobles, and the royal family… You don’t know how to make everything move in a better direction. You only know how to launch meaningless destruction again and again!

During the years when you were in charge of the rebellion party... Sorry, it's not that I haven't thought of using other non-derogatory words, but after thinking about it, only the word "rebellion party" is more suitable for our meaningless actions in these years."

After questioning the "rationality" of the rebellion, which made the middle-aged Joshua's face turn blue, Leon, who was used to killing people and destroying their hearts, relied on the effectiveness of [Elite Performer] and acted "incredibly distressed" to finish off the attack:
"After all these years of your efforts and attacks, have those greedy and cruel factory owners shown mercy? Have those corrupt and incompetent officials become competent? Have those arrogant and presumptuous nobles restrained themselves? Has the always foolish and incompetent royal family changed?

If you don't have any of that, then what on earth did you attack? You can only lead us to carry out 'successful' destruction everywhere, but you have failed miserably in all other aspects. How can you say that you are a qualified leader?

Sir Nathan! Do you understand now why everyone is unwilling to continue following you?"
