Chapter 479 Goodbye Mr. Hawkes
Chapter 479 Goodbye Mr. Hawkes
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Tang Zijun's face remained expressionless.
With steady steps and upright posture, Tang Zijun slowly stopped when she reached the aisle of the same row of seats as the other person.
"Old Chang, I've come to ask you for help."
"Old Chang?" The man in white seemed to have heard something amusing. He suppressed the anger welling up inside him and chuckled lightly. "What kind of ridiculous address is that? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
Yes.
The white-clad man before her was none other than Chang Lei from this timeline, or perhaps more accurately, Mr. Hux the Deceiver. Tang Zijun couldn't think of anyone else besides Chang Lei capable of deceiving timelines, and with the power to reverse the world, finding him wouldn't be difficult.
Especially when the other party has no intention of hiding themselves.
In this timeline, Chang Lei is already a high-ranking official among the greedy. Basically, no one dares to mess with him, not even other veteran high-ranking officials, because he has risen through the ranks so quickly.
Many greedy people are spreading rumors that Harx has the potential to rival the God of Greed, but he himself doesn't care at all and even scoffs at the rumors.
Tang Zijun also understood that Chang Lei had always felt disgusted with his identity as a greedy person.
At this time, he rarely acted in China because of his main body, but he did return to China at all.
Tang Zijun first encountered the other party in the Reversal World, a chaotic world without borders where various spaces intertwine, often resulting in iconic buildings of two countries facing each other from afar.
At this point, the fact that the other party could recognize him meant that he had already fought with them in this timeline, and most likely suffered a crushing defeat.
"You know what I'm talking about, Lao Chang," Tang Zijun said calmly.
"So you've already investigated my past." Mr. Harker narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Tang Zijun with a meaningful gaze. Under that gaze, the little curly-eared creature in Tang Zijun's arms felt a pang of anxiety and increased pressure.
She never imagined that the lazy, greedy, and cowardly Lao Chang she remembered would have been like this in his earlier years.
No wonder, after all, he's a greedy being, born from a foundation of negative energy that won't change. He remains, without a doubt, an evil creature. Looking directly at Hax, Tang Zijun spoke, word by word.
"Some monsters from other worlds are invading our timeline, and our history is being overturned. If this is left unchecked, everyone will be in danger. Only you have the ability to help me now."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Harker was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Tang Zijun to say something like that. "Haven't seen you for a few days, and you've gotten quite the joker."
I'm not lying to you.
"Of course I know you're not lying to me." Before Tang Zijun could finish speaking, Hax interrupted him directly. "I am Mr. Hax the Conman, and no one can fool me."
"Then you should know I'm right. Everyone on the entire timeline is in extreme danger right now, including you." Tang Zijun frowned. "Although I don't know what they'll do, if they kill Chang Lei before you're even born, you won't exist either, right?"
Past, present, future.
Now that they are dead, all that remains is the future without them and the past from the time of their birth. It is obvious that the God of Time and Space must have gone to a much more distant past.
If the other omnics and church members fail in their operations in other timelines, then everyone on the list will die at the same time in 2014. And I will be the first.
Listening to Tang Zijun's story and seeing the barely suppressed urgency in his eyes, Hax's expression remained unchanged; he simply patted the seat next to him lightly.
"...Calm down, wolf rider. We should never worry about things that haven't happened yet. Let's enjoy the moment. You've come at the perfect time; this show is just about to reach its climax."
As he spoke, Hax turned his head and looked at the stage.
Tang Zijun frowned and followed his gaze.
On stage, four girls continued their stiff ballet performance, as if they were wearing cursed dancing shoes, unable to stop forever. Gazing at the girls in their differently colored dresses, Tang Zijun didn't even need to sense their magic; she could guess they were magical girls from Mao Kingdom.
Two yellow levels, two green levels.
With just a glance, Tang Zijun easily judged their strength.
This lineup would be considered a mainstay in the magical girl scene of any country, but in front of Hax, they couldn't even put up a fight.
Looking at Hax again, Tang Zijun's tone turned serious. "Release them, then help me. It'll be better for both of us."
"Ha... It's been a long time since I've seen you so tough." Hax's smile widened.
"I'm serious."
"Whatever." Turning to Tang Zijun, Hax revealed a chilling smirk. "But before that, you should enjoy this climax."
As soon as she finished speaking, a whip made of high-pressure water lashed fiercely towards Tang Zijun's head.
The four magical girls on the stage attacked simultaneously, transforming into four streaks of light that rushed straight towards Tang Zijun. Each of them emitted a dazzling light, the radiance of magic.
Tang Zijun dodged the water flow by sidestepping it, and the water instantly sliced down like a sharp blade, the smooth cut extending all the way to the wall dozens of meters away.
"Are you crazy?! This is the real world!" Curly Ears couldn't help but scream in alarm.
What magical girls fear most in battle is when enemies appear at landmarks or places with huge crowds; none of these places are to be destroyed.
Whether it's a TV tower or a museum, if they are affected even slightly, it's not as simple as just spending money on repairs; it could even lead to the premature exposure of the magical girl's existence.
The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, where they were currently located, is considered a national treasure-level opera house. If a war were to break out here...
Tang Zijun understood what Juan Erduo knew. A sudden glint flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Juan Erduo, hold on tight, I need to finish this quickly."
As they were talking, four magical girls had already surrounded them.
In a single glance, they unleashed their most powerful magic.
"Sorry, you seem like a good person." A girl in a light blue skirt looked somewhat reluctant, but her actions were incredibly ruthless.
With a wave of her hand, the air currents in the air suddenly transformed into a giant scythe.
The girl in red beside her gritted her teeth. "Forgive me, we were forced into this situation."
The sudden appearance of scorching flames caused the surrounding temperature to soar.
With the wind fueling the fire, a massive phantom wielding a scythe instantly appeared. The phantom roared and brandished its scythe, and with the combined strength of the four magical girls, it suddenly enveloped Tang Zijun's figure completely.
Looking at the menacing phantom, Tang Zijun merely raised her eyes slightly.
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed at the air.
Huff!
There was no time to think; even the thought process seemed to freeze at that moment.
All we saw was Tang Zijun making a gesture of drawing her sword.
The next moment, a flash of silver light engulfed everyone's vision.
"‖"
The four magical girls simultaneously let out a muffled groan.
That was the backlash from his own magic being interrupted by an unstoppable force.
The crescent-shaped stream of light circled in the hall, and the attack released by the terrifying phantom was annihilated in mid-air before it even made a substantial impact.
Hawkes watched this unbelievable scene from afar, a smile still lingering on his face.
He had never imagined that Tang Zijun could unleash such powerful strength. He hadn't even seen it clearly. If it weren't for the need to control the situation so as not to harm the four girls and the surrounding environment, this sword strike could have easily destroyed the place.
What's most terrifying is that Hax could clearly feel that the sword intent was directed at him from beginning to end.
His body tensed up abruptly, but before Hax could stand up, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.
"Have you had enough fun?"
Behind Hax, Tang Zijun spoke calmly, his knight's sword held firmly against the man's neck.
Feeling the chill on his neck, Hax felt that death had never been so close.
"so"
His voice trembled slightly, and Hax tilted his head.
"Are you really from the future?"
"What do you think?" Tang Zijun replied indifferently.
As if he had lost all his strength, Hax's body went limp, and he slowly sat back down in the chair.
His gaze swept over the chaotic hall, and he sighed heavily.
Boom!
The doors of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow were kicked open.
Tang Zijun and Juan Erduo walked in quickly, passed through the red-carpeted corridor, and went directly into the performance hall.
The loud noise did not interrupt the music in the performance hall.
On the stage, four girls were dancing stiffly, like puppets being manipulated, while below, a man in white sat in the audience watching it all.
Tang Zijun walked steadily to the aisle of the row of seats opposite her.
Looking at the familiar figure before her, Tang Zijun spoke with mixed feelings, "Old Chang, I've come to ask for your help."
"help!"
Hacks suddenly stood up, his expression extremely serious.
"When do we leave?"
Tang Zijun: ?
