Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 355: Qing Chens Property

Return Countdown 16:00:00.

8 o'clock in the morning.

On Qingshan Cliff, Li Ke dug a grave behind the cliff for his grandfather, burying the old man there.

From now on, he will be with the rising sun and the wind.

"Don't be sad, his wish has been fulfilled, he has no regrets," Qing Chen said calmly.

Li Ke wiped his tears with the back of his hand: "Hmm, I understand, it's just hard to let go. Grandpa was always very serious, but when I was very young, he would sternly scold my father, and when my father hung his head in shame, he would secretly slip me candy when my father wasn't looking, and wink at me, asking me to keep it a secret. Actually, he was never a harsh person, it's just that his position demanded it."

Qing Chen sighed: "He spent his whole life playing a role he didn't want to play, but he played it well."

Li Ke stood up, Qing Chen led him back to Qingshan Cliff, pointing to the words on the ground: "Forever Young, this is what Old Master yearned for most in his life, but it doesn't mean living a long life, but always young, always sincere, always tearful, always eager to set out. Don't be bound by those interests, Knights are born to be brave and do the most romantic things in the world."

Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu silently looked at the inscription on the ground.

Suddenly they understood why Qing Chen said that everyone who takes this path will unconsciously agree with the Knight's belief.

In fact, the Eight Trials of Life and Death challenge is less of a Cultivation path and more of a way for Knights to use the most stringent conditions to screen their fellow travelers.

Qing Chen looked back at the towering giant tree and sighed: "The longer you walk this road, the more you understand the expectations the founder placed on each Knight when he wrote these four words, Forever Young."

At one point, the young man pondered.

It was less that he accompanied the old man for a journey.

It was more that the old man, with the twilight of his life and all his regrets, took him on a journey.

Last time, Li Shutong took him on a journey, making up for the scars of the past 17 years of his life.

This time, the old man took him on a journey, using his last moments to teach him what is most precious to him at this moment.

At this moment, applause sounded from the woods: "This is a death worthy of the Li Clan leader, it's better to watch the sunset and sunrise here than to lie in Ban Shan Mountain Estate. I just bowed to Old Master, I didn't respect him before, but I do now."

Qing Chen and the others turned to see Qing FamilyShadow, wearing a black sweater, a black baseball cap, and a black mask, clapping and walking out.

Occasionally coughing.

If it weren't for the familiar cough, Qing Chen might not have been able to determine that it was the Qing Family's Shadow Master.

It seems that every time he sees the other party, it's in the dark.

This is the first time Qing FamilyShadow has been willing to talk to him in the sunlight.

Thin, this is Qing Chen's most profound impression.

Qing FamilyShadow smiled: "When people reach middle age, they start to worry about their children and grandchildren, and after they die, their children and grandchildren will come to their graves to offer sacrifices and ask them to continue to bless them. If their descendants don't do well, they may even think that the place where you are buried is not right, and dig you up again to change the feng shui. So, it's good to rest here, I want to come here after I die, if I can quarrel with the old guys in Forbidden Zone 002, that would be even more fun."

Qing Chen looked at Qing FamilyShadow: "The Federation Civil War should have started by now, you actually have the leisure to come to Forbidden Zone 002?"

Qing FamilyShadow smiled: "What does the civil war have to do with me?"

"Nothing to do with you?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

"I've done everything I should do for this war in advance, and when the war really starts, there's nothing for me to do," Qing FamilyShadow smiled.

This is actually a very strange kind of confidence.

It's as if after thirteen steps in a chess game, the rest of the endgame, even without playing it, has already decided the winner.

For some reason, Qing Chen always felt that he and this Qing FamilyShadow had some similarities, both of them seemed to like to prepare in advance, this is a cautious personality deep in their bones.

But Qing Chen's current vision and ability have not yet reached the Shadow's level.

"Can Li Clan and Qing Family win?" Qing Chen asked.

Shadow smiled: "I don't know about Li Clan, but Qing Family can. You have to prepare in advance for strategic planning, so you can be more relaxed."

"Understood," Qing Chen nodded.

Shadow is the Shadow of Qing Family, even if Li Clan and Qing Family are allies, Shadow only needs to be responsible for Qing Family winning this war.

They can even take Li Clan's victory.

This is Conglomerate.

"Has Li Clan's Reverse Time Travel Plan succeeded?" Qing Chen asked.

When he returned last time, Li Clan's Time Traveler even went directly to the island country, Qing Chen knew that those Time Travelers must have done more than just burn down a shrine, there must be a bigger plan.

Shadow thought for a moment and replied: "Currently, there are 8 successful Substitutions screened out by Shendai and Koshima, and there should be more that haven't been screened out... However, even if they are screened out, it's okay. In the war, Li Clan suddenly Substituted 8 important positions, and the negative impact of changing generals in the middle of the battle is far greater than imagined. It has to be said that Li Clan's Time Travelers in the Outer World are quite powerful, which makes me very interested."

"By the way, do you know Shendai Togo, who was responsible for assassinating Li Changqing in City 18?" Shadow asked.

"I know," Qing Chen nodded.

Shadow smiled: "He didn't escape from City 18, Li Clan found his Substitution in the Outer World island country and sent him to your Outer World Luo City. Now, he has been Substituted. Before, I was still wondering why Li Changqing didn't chase him down, it turns out that she was waiting for this, this woman is so interesting, she seems to have guessed that Shendai Togo would continue to hide in City 18."

Qing Chen was stunned. He had previously thought that to replace someone from the Shendai Family, the Substitution had to be sent to the island country, but he didn't expect Li Changqing to be so clever, she actually sent him to the country.

This time, Li Clan's counterattack seems to be more fierce than Shendai and Koshima.

However, the fact that Shadow investigated these things so clearly also shows that Qing Family's intelligence system is strong enough!

In their conversation, Shadow and Qing Chen never mentioned Qing FamilyShadow's identity, Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu could only be puzzled, not even knowing the identity of this uninvited guest.

Qing FamilyShadow: "Hey, you two kids, go play in the mud, Qing Chen and I have something to talk about."

This Shadow Master didn't seem to want people to know Qing Chen's Shadow Candidate identity.

At this time, Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke subconsciously looked at Qing Chen, and only after Qing Chen nodded did they obediently leave.

Qing Chen thought for a moment: "No matter how well prepared you are, it's always surprising to pay attention to me instead of bigger things at such an important juncture."

"Who said I came to pay attention to you?" Shadow said with a smile: "I came to see if the members of Masonic Lodge can successfully reach Black Spade's location. This is a very important part of my future plan, and it's my first time cooperating with Black Spade, so I naturally have to take a look."

Qing Chen didn't deny it, but he was sure the other party came for him.

Shadow silently sat on the edge of the cliff of Qingshan Cliff: "Is the sunrise here really so beautiful? Even someone like Li Xiurui wanted to see it one last time before leaving. Do you know what Li Xiurui did in his life? When he took over Li Clan, Li Clan already showed signs of decline. In terms of mineral resources and energy, his father lost a very important game to Chen Family, and it seemed that he was about to decline, but after this talented man took over, he turned the situation around and drove Chen Family out of City 18. It's ironic that such a person was forced to be the head of the family."

"By the way, the expert from the Shendai family is dead. I underestimated Li Yunjing, Li Xiurui also underestimated Li Yunjing, and actually arranged two A-Class to kill Shendai Yunshan, but Li Yunjing himself is enough. Fortunately, he's about to leave Li Clan, otherwise it would be quite troublesome, this is someone who has a chance to covet the position of Demi-God."

The Shadow sat in the mountain wind, his legs dangling over the cliff, as relaxed as if he were melting into the mountain wind.

Not at all like a powerful figure.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and sat down next to him.

Shadow turned to glance at him: "Sometimes I really want to kill you, for example, pushing you off the 600-meter Qingshan Cliff right now, you would definitely die."

"Why kill me?" Qing Chen asked.

"If you die, someone will be very angry. Thinking that this person will be angry makes me very happy," Shadow said calmly.

Qing Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Qing FamilyShadow to have murderous intent towards him.

When he talked about killing, his expression was as calm as asking "Have you eaten dinner?", as if this kind of thing is more commonplace than eating.

Qing Chen thought for a moment: "If I die now, many people will be angry, I don't know which one Shadow Master is talking about?"

"It's definitely not Li Shutong or Li Changqing," Qing FamilyShadow said with a smile.

"Is it the blood relatives of "Qing Chen' in the Inner World?" Qing Chen asked.

Qing FamilyShadow glanced at him: "You're quite frank, you know you can't hide it, so you just revealed your Time Traveler identity."

"Hmm," Qing Chen nodded: "Qing FamilyShadow controls the huge Qing Family intelligence system, how could he not know my Time Traveler identity? I'm just curious, what's your relationship with the original Qing Chen?"

Qing FamilyShadow smiled: "The plot is more interesting if it's revealed bit by bit, how could I do such a boring thing as giving a spoiler? Don't worry, you'll know everything one day. Don't rush, don't rush to turn to the last page of the book."

Once, Qing Chen guessed that Qing FamilyShadow might be the father of "Qing Chen', but now he doesn't think so.

However, he is still not sure what his relationship with this Shadow is, if he was once a close relative, he should have killed himself to avenge "Qing Chen'.

Shadow did have murderous intent towards him, but the other party's murderous intent was not because of this.

This is very strange, like a mathematical conjecture that cannot be proved yet.

Qing Chen didn't ask any more questions about this, but asked about other things: "Is Masonic Lodge under your control? The other Time Travelers controlled by Qing Family are also under your command, right?"

Qing FamilyShadow nodded: "Yes, only one person in Qing Family can dispatch Time Travelers, and that's me."

Qing Chen nodded, then Huan Yu must be from Chen Family.

If Huan Yu was from Qing Family, he wouldn't be able to mobilize so many Time Travelers.

"Time Travelers from Shendai, Koshima, Li Clan, and Chen Family are all active in the Outer World, why is there no movement from Qing Family?" Qing Chen asked.

"Do you think I'll tell you?" Qing FamilyShadow said with a smile: "Do you have any ideas about Qing Family's Time Travelers? How about this, you promise to go to Secret Spy Agency, and on the day you report to Secret Spy Agency, I'll give you Masonic Lodge first, this deal should be a good deal, right?"

This time, Qing FamilyShadow's deal finally had a substantial promise, instead of just painting a pie.

You know, Masonic Lodge is an organization composed of highly intelligent Time Travelers, this kind of organization is highly malleable, and if used well, it will definitely have a miraculous effect.

"I'll consider it," Qing Chen still gave this answer.

Shadow raised his eyebrows: "It's really hard to get you into the game."

Qing Chen suddenly said: "I need to consider when to report to Secret Spy Agency."

Shadow smiled and stood up: "Once you're in the game, it'll be up to you to quit."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the woods behind the cliff, as if he only had this one purpose on this trip.

Halfway there, Shadow turned back and said: "I need to remind you that the Reverse Time Travel Plan of Shendai Family and Koshima Family is far more complicated than you see now. You should know that they have completed their first attempt at Neuron possession, and there will definitely be new attempts in the future. They have far more Time Travelers than we do, and as far as I know, they still have masters hidden in your Outer World."

"Thank you for the reminder," Qing Chen nodded.

Qing FamilyShadow walked into the woods, raised his hand to open the Shadow Gate, and disappeared.

Qing Chen was thinking, the condition to open this Shadow Gate should be in the shadows, otherwise the other party wouldn't need to return to the woods.

Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke came back after Shadow left: "Master, who was that person just now?"

Qing Chen shook his head: "It's not time to tell you yet."

"Where are we going now?" Hu Xiaoniu asked.

"To save the members of Masonic Lodge," Qing Chen said.

"Ah? Why save them?" Li Ke didn't understand: "We don't know them well."

Qing Chen didn't explain. This is part of his deal with Qing FamilyShadow, so he can't let Masonic Lodge lose too many people.

This is his property!

Return Countdown 4:00:00.

8 o'clock at night in Forbidden Zone 002.

The junction of the hinterland and the edge.

Guo Huchan leaned against a knotted tree root, looking at the members of Masonic Lodge next to him.

However, although the members of Masonic Lodge were tired, they didn't complain, they encouraged each other, and they could even maintain an optimistic mental state.

He whispered to Yang Yang, who was closing his eyes beside him: "The overall quality of this batch of Time Travelers is quite good, it seems that none of them need to be persuaded."

"Hmm," Yang Yang opened his eyes: "These are the best students in City 18 corresponding to the Outer World. They have brains, courage, and an optimistic attitude, and their learning ability is also strong. Having such a team enter our rebuilt town can help it grow quickly."

For Black Spade, although they say they welcome everyone on the surface, how could they not screen the members of Masonic Lodge?

Even without the pursuit of the Federation army, they would find excuses to let the students abandon their vehicles and make a 200-kilometer trek to test them.

However, there is one thing to worry about, these are the people arranged by Qing FamilyShadow, although the other party expressed great goodwill, Black Spade still needs to confirm how much influence Qing FamilyShadow has on Masonic Lodge.

"Are there many such student organizations in the Outer World?" Guo Huchan asked.

"Yes, but not many," Yang Yang thought for a moment and replied: "For example, there is one in Haicheng, corresponding to City 7, and I was a member of it. Beijing seems to have one too, and the leader is a chosen one, but I've never been able to confirm who the leader is, he's very mysterious."

"Students usually have a lot of enthusiasm, and they haven't been tainted by worldly desires. Black Spade should contact such organizations more and more, Yang Yang, this is hard work for you," Guo Huchan said.

"It's not hard work," Yang Yang smiled: "This is something I want to do myself."

At this time, the big bald head whispered: "You and that Qing Zhade..."

Yang Yang was surprised: "You're so tall and big, why are you so gossipy, does it fit your image?"

Guo Huchan was a little embarrassed: "Who doesn't gossip..."

Yang Yang stood up: "Let's go, the Federation army is approaching again, we have to hurry."

Having said that, she waved to the members of Masonic Lodge, signaling them to get up and follow.

The members of Masonic Lodge didn't hesitate, although they were exhausted, they still encouraged each other and set off again.

The team moved quickly, and the Federation army behind them pursued quickly.

But the Federation army didn't seem eager to attack, as if they wanted to drag Masonic Lodge and Black Spade to exhaustion first.

This is standard hunting behavior, and these are a group of experienced hunters.

Guo Huchan muttered: "Yang Yang, if your perception range was bigger, we could avoid them earlier."

At this moment, distant gunshots suddenly rang out from the Forbidden Zone woods behind them.

The gunshots were far away, but in the quiet Forbidden Zone, they were too abrupt.

Guo Huchan suddenly looked up, who in the Forbidden Zone dares to use guns?!

This is Forbidden Zone 002, one of the rules is that firearms are prohibited!

Someone once said that the reason why Forbidden Zone 002 has the rules "no drones" and "no firearms" is to prevent people from doing evil from entering here.

Guo Huchan looked at Yang Yang: "The Federation army knows the taboo, could it be that Qing Zhade came to help you, but he doesn't know the rules."

Because they can't discuss the specific rules in the Forbidden Zone, Guo Huchan spoke very vaguely.

Except for Knights, no one knows that becoming a Knight is a containment rule of Forbidden Zone 002, so even Yang Yang is worried.

However, Yang Yang looked at the members of Masonic Lodge first.

The first reaction of these students was to raise their index fingers to warn each other not to discuss.

These highly intelligent students knew very well that it's easy to touch the rules by discussing anything at this time, so they didn't make the most basic mistake.

Yang Yang saw this, nodded, the quality of this batch of elite students from Luo City is indeed very high.

Nangong Yuanyu looked at Guo Huchan: "Please, are people from Black Spade fighting?"

"No," Guo Huchan frowned: "We can't determine who it is either, maybe it's those few who were with us before."

No one would come to the Forbidden Zone for no reason, and no one would help Black Spade for no reason!

Guo Huchan said: "Should we leave first?"

Yang Yang shook her head: "You guys go first, I'll go and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone slowly walked from the depths of the woods, the footsteps stepping on the broken leaves, quiet and mysterious.

All the members of Masonic Lodge and Black Spade looked towards the source of the sound, and suddenly found that it was Li Ke and others who slowly emerged from the shadows.

Everyone subconsciously looked over, their eyes seemed to be glued to Li Ke and others' hands, staring at the guns in their hands.

When they got closer, everyone even smelled the smell of gunpowder on them.

That's the inevitable smell after pulling the trigger.

"It was these three who fired the shots just now!" Guo Huchan thought to himself.

But he didn't understand.

Clearly, everyone had confirmed countless times that firearms were prohibited in Forbidden Zone 002, but the three people in front of them didn't seem to be affected by the rules!

Why?

In fact, most people in the world don't know that the Forbidden Zone can be contained.

Because very few people have contained it!

Those who have contained it will also keep the secret of containment in their hearts!

Yang Yang looked at "Qing Zhade': "Did you just fight with the Federation army?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded with a smile: "They seem to have the same confusion as you, so they hesitated and retreated temporarily. Next, I'll send you out of Forbidden Zone 002 to prevent you from getting lost and straying into the hinterland."

Given the danger of the hinterland, if the members of Masonic Lodge accidentally walk in, they are likely to die nine out of ten.

Qiduo of Masonic Lodge hesitated and asked: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you all?"

Actually, he wanted to ask: Why are you so good to us, why are you so kind to send us out of the Forbidden Zone?

After all, we don't know each other.

Qing Chen smiled: "It's not troublesome, Xiaoniu told me that you are friends, and it's only right to help a friend."

Qiduo and others were stunned and looked at Hu Xiaoniu, thinking that Xiaoniu is indeed a good person, as a servant, he actually asked his employer to help them!

They looked at Qing Chen again, but found that he was looking at them with a smile, very kind.

Like looking at his treasured gold coins...

…
