Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 480 Reversing the Future!

In the performance hall, Tang Zijun and Hax looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Tang Zijun was already prepared for battle, after all, he and Hax were "old friends", and he knew very well what state the other party was in at this stage.

Born from Chang Lei's desires, he disliked his original self, so he didn't choose to kill the original body. Instead, he left that place with the original body's love for its family.

Such is Harks, a tiger returning to the mountains, who freely travels the world, toying with everyone he encounters, including but not limited to magical girls, heretics, and other greedy individuals.

He has no alignment between good and evil; it's as if everything he does is for fun.

It can be said that before witnessing the death of his true self, Harks was a madman.

Faced with such a guy, Tang Zijun wasn't sure if he would help her. The most likely scenario was that he would attack her, since he still harbored some hostility towards her in this timeline.

To be honest, Tang Zijun was a little nervous at the thought of facing the fraudster Hax at his peak.

However, to his utter surprise, the other party agreed without hesitation, and so readily that Tang Zijun was caught off guard.

After an awkward silence, Tang Zijun finally opened her mouth. "You...you agreed?"

"Yes! That's right!" Hacks nodded repeatedly.

"Are you sure you want to help me?" Tang Zijun looked at Hax with a hint of suspicion. "There's no scam, no ulterior motive, and you wouldn't choose to stab me in the back at a crucial moment, would you?"

"Of course not! How can you think of me like that? Although I'm known as a fraudster, I'm someone who doesn't lie. When have I ever lied to you?" Hax shouted.

That's true.

To be honest, since meeting the other party, Hax seems to have never "deceived" him. In terms of language, he never bothers to lie and usually starts with deception.

Compared to the ingenious art of deception, verbal lies are truly rather crude.

"Since that's the case, then release those four magical girls. I'll tell you all about what happened and how you can help me." Upon hearing this, Hax didn't hesitate at all and simply snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the four girls who were stiffly dancing ballet on the stage suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Curly Ears looked at the magical girls with some worry. As a spirit beast, she could clearly feel that the magic power in their bodies had been greatly impacted.

Noticing the look in Curly-Ears' eyes, Hax smiled. "I didn't do anything to them, I just altered their memories. They won't remember anything from today."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for them fainting, that's just a natural reaction of the magic within their bodies sensing my deception technique."

Tang Zijun glanced at the four girls before turning her gaze back to Hax.

"You already know I came from the future?"

"I just found out too." Hax shrugged and smiled knowingly.

Tang Zijun sighed softly. "Then you should understand that by coming to find you in this timeline, I am already breaking the established course of history."

"I understand."

When Harker heard this, he didn't show any particular expression. He remained indifferent, as if the changes in the world had nothing to do with him.

However, after responding, he still looked at Tang Zijun with some curiosity.

"What I don't understand is, you already possess such great power, who could possibly push you to this point, even to the point of seeking help from your own enemy?"

At this point, Hax's expression changed.

"Wait, did you somehow provoke a Mirror Eater?"

The Mirror Eater is the legendary Mirror Eater God of Greed, a greedy being born during the Sui Dynasty. He was later sealed away during the Tang Dynasty. Although his existence was brief, he was the only one to obtain the divine status of the Reversal World.

Seeing Harks's strong reaction, Tang Zijun also thought of this powerful individual, who was currently sealed in the Mirror World. However, he only thought about it briefly and waved his hand, saying, "It's not Chi. Mirror Eaters are powerful, but they don't have the ability to travel through time." "Travel through time..." Harks stroked his chin, frowning slightly. "So it's someone from the future, like you?" "That's right, but to be more precise, the other party comes from another world, a world without any extraordinary abilities, yet capable of manipulating the rules of the entire universe through technology."

Next, Tang Zijun briefly explained the general situation of the wasteland world and how they traveled through time with Katie, collided with her on the way, and ended up here.

At first, Hax was able to follow Tang Zijun's train of thought, but he gradually began to stare blankly, and eventually he was completely dumbfounded.

He had to admit that although he had seen many unbelievable things, he had never seen anything like this before.

It took him a while to process this massive amount of information. Rubbing his temples, Hax shook his head with a smile. "No wonder you came to find me. I never imagined the future would turn out like this."

"Believe me, I really don't want to break the course of history unless there's absolutely no other way."

"I understand." Hax's lips curled up slightly, and he raised his head a little. "So, what do you need me to do?"

Tang Zijun looked directly at Hax and said in a deep voice.

"I need you to find a way to send me back to the past. The God of Time's target is me before I awakened, and you must help me stop him." Although he had already suspected this, hearing Tang Zijun's words still felt like a pipe dream. His face turned ashen, and he chuckled, half-laughing, half-crying. "What do you take me for, a wish-granting machine? Sending you back to the past? You just said it yourself, even the one in the mirror world can't travel through time, do you think I can?"

"I believe you can do it." Tang Zijun's eyes were extremely serious.

"This isn't something you can just do because you believe me..." Hax opened his mouth, then looked up and met Tang Zijun's bright eyes. Perhaps feeling a little uneasy under Tang Zijun's gaze, Hax sighed. "Okay, although I don't know why you believe me so much, if it's just taking you back, I should be able to manage."

"Really!?" Curly Ears couldn't help but widen his eyes, which were full of surprise.

Before arriving here, Curly Ears was actually quite desperate because she couldn't imagine how they would go back to the past.

It's important to know that Katie's time travel was anchored to Tang Zijun from the past.

This means that if Katie wants to travel through time, she must ensure Tang Zijun's existence.

Now, Katie's whereabouts are unknown, and the God of Time and Space has already begun to act. If the God of Time and Space kills Tang Zijun from the past before Katie heals herself, then the anchor point will completely disappear.

At that point, there will be no way to bring Katie back to that time, and Tang Zijun's death will be irreversible.

Furthermore, due to the altered timeline, the newly created history will gradually encroach upon the original history, and at that time, the entire world will undergo earth-shattering changes without anyone realizing it.

Curly Ears had already prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect things to take such a turn for the better; this Hacks actually had a solution.

"Don't get too excited yet," Hax said irritably, looking at Tang Zijun and Juan Erduo. "I'm just saying there's a way, but I can't guarantee it will work."

"I know, tell me how we should operate first." Tang Zijun's expression was very serious.

"well"

With a heavy sigh, Hax carefully considered his words before slowly speaking.

"I definitely can't travel through time, since that's a whole different level. I can't deceive an entire timeline. But I can exploit a loophole."

"What vulnerability?"

"That was fraud against you," Hax said bluntly, without keeping you in suspense.

"You cheated me?" Tang Zijun pointed at herself, her brows furrowing.

"Yes," Hax smiled. "To deceive your consciousness and soul, to create a dreamlike feeling about all your current experiences, and to send your consciousness back to a point in the past."

"In your mind, everything that happened after that point in time was just a dream. Your consciousness will accurately return to the target point in time, and your choices will have a huge impact on the future."

"Simply put, I can't send you back to the past as a person, but I can use deception to send your consciousness back to the past." "I see..." Tang Zijun nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly realized something and couldn't help but look up. "Wait, isn't this X-Men: Days of Future Past!?"

“Yes.” Hax nodded without hesitation. “I just watched that movie and thought it was pretty interesting, so I tried it out, and it turns out it really works. I was quite surprised for a while.”

He shamelessly admitted it.

Tang Zijun looked at Hax, who was puffing out his chest with a smug expression, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Thinking back, the movie Days of Future Past was indeed released in 2014.

Okay, then it's fine.

I wonder what kind of expression those people would have if they found out that the movie they made had taught an incredibly dangerous and greedy person an even more terrifying ability.

But no matter what they are like, Tang Zijun is still quite happy.

After all, they are now pinning all their hopes on Hax.
