Night’s Nomenclature

Qinghuai lay quietly on the ground, looking up at the sky.

He covered his neck with his hands to prevent the blood from splattering too quickly.

It seems that this can delay his own death and hold his life in his hands again.

The dark clouds had dispersed and the plants paid no attention to him.

After several hours of running for his life, Qinghuai actually felt a little comfortable at this moment.

I was really too tired from before.

There were footsteps in the distance, and the soft sound of stepping on rotten leaves sounded like a lullaby. Qinghuai felt a little sleepy.

Qinghuai turned his head to see the boy clearly.

But the young man did not approach him, but squatted down far away from him, quietly waiting for him to die completely.

"Are you still so cautious until this moment?" Qinghuai thought to himself.

His eyeballs turned bright red due to blood congestion, and he finally saw the boy's appearance clearly.

At the moment of death, Qinghuai thought of many things.

I also figured out a lot of things...

This boy is a newly promoted knight.

But isn't it said by the outside world that the inheritance of knights is about to be cut off? No one can cross that threshold.

No one knows what the threshold is, everyone only knows that it is difficult.

It is said that Li Dongze of Hengshe almost became the successor of the knight, but failed in the end. This is one of Li Dongze's regrets in life.

So, whose apprentice is this young man? Chen Jiazhang? Wang Xiaojiu? Li Shutong?

No, Qinghuai recalled the whole story of his encounter with the boy. He suddenly remembered a problem: the other day was just an ordinary person, but today he was able to keep pace with him at extremely fast speeds.

Even if he was injured and blocked by forbidden places, the other party was already beyond the scope of ordinary people!

"That young man achieved a breakthrough on this day. He is a newly promoted knight!" Qinghuai made huge waves in his heart.

Many people still don't know that Li Shutong has secretly left Prison No. 18. Because no trace of Li Shutong has been found, the consortium suppressed the matter.

After all, the consortium asked Li Shutong to stay in prison, but he came in and out twice in a short period of time. This kind of thing spread out and greatly affected the prestige of the consortium.

But Qinghuai knew about this.

Before that, everyone was guessing where Li Shutong went. It was not until this moment that Qinghuai realized that the other party was probably in the forbidden place No. 002.

And Qinghuai also guessed what the other party was doing: to lead the new successor to climb the cliffs of Qingshan!

"When did Li Shutong find the student? Why does that young man look so familiar? And why did he activate the Akiha Blade just after he was promoted!"

This series of questions kept stirring in his mind, as if it was going to turn his head into paste.

But he found a comfort for himself: Li Shutong must be nearby. Even if the young man couldn't kill him, Li Shutong would kill him.

Thinking about it this way, Qinghuai felt much more balanced.

etc!

Qinghuai finally remembered where he had seen the other party. A year ago, at the birthday party of Qing Xi, a direct descendant of the consortium, the other party was sitting in a corner.

Qingxi went to have a few words with this young man, but he looked very shy.

At that time, he asked others who this young man was and how he knew Qingxi. However, after asking around, no one knew him or knew where he was from the family branch.

It wasn't until some time ago that he knew that the person he saw at that time was called Qing Chen and that he was one of the candidates for this shadow war.

When Qinghuai found out, he had gradually forgotten Qingchen's appearance and didn't pay much attention to him.

Now, Qingchen, who was supposed to be in Prison No. 18, appears here, plus the disappearance of Li Shutong.

Qinghuai has a pig brain, so he should understand the truth: the other party never angered Li Shutong from beginning to end, but became Li Shutong's student!

As for the rumor that the other party was imprisoned by Li Shutong, I'm afraid it was just a show to show to others.

There was confusion in Qinghuai's eyes. It turned out that he had ruled out the correct answer from the beginning!

The most inconspicuous and seemingly useless fringe figure has been hiding in the dark and has become the most terrifying shadow candidate.

The Knights and Hengshe are both known for protecting their enemies. If a member of their own family participates in the Shadow War, they will definitely end up helping!

The next moment, Qinghuai's eyes widened. Wasn't he also a part of the other party's plan? Li Shutong took Qingchen to the forbidden place No. 002, specifically to hunt him.

In this way, in the first round of the Shadow War, the fourth room was directly eliminated!

Qinghuai used his last strength to smile. He wanted to know what other shadow candidates would think when they discovered such a being.

You can’t just get tricked yourself.

The blood beside him had turned into a pool of blood. Just as he was dying, the young man squatting in the distance suddenly whispered: "Cao Wei fought back like a tiger before he died, but you didn't even think about fighting to the death." It’s about exchanging lives, so I say you are not as good as him.”

The young man squatted calmly and his tone was very calm, as if he was saying a very common conclusion.

Qinghuai's smile instantly froze on his face, and then lost all life.

Kill people, kill your heart.

But what Qingchen said was right. He originally thought that Qinghuai was the toughest enemy in the end, but in fact when he killed Cao Wei, he understood that at the last moment of a desperate fight, the little people who fought from the bottom up were the most terrifying.

Because there is no retreat for everyone.

Never retreated either.

Countdown to 00:30:00.

Coming back soon.

Qingchen looked down at the forbidden object ACE-019, a puppet on his wrist.

This time, the marionette was the first to kill Qinghuai. At the same time, it also made Qingchen understand the power of forbidden objects.

He first hunted and killed five federal soldiers and sacrificed the souls of those five people.

Qingchen watched helplessly as the bodies of the five people turned into dust and floated away when the wind blew.

The horror of this kind of sacrifice was far beyond his imagination: it only took five seconds for a life to go from fresh flesh and blood to death.

No wonder the teacher said that puppets are a very evil and taboo object in everyone's eyes.

After the sacrifice, the puppet's original red silk threads turned transparent, and are now wrapped around Qingchen's wrist. You might not be able to spot it unless you look carefully at the light.

After Qingchen hunted the soldiers, it took him thirty minutes to interrogate Wang Qiang's name.

Then he witnessed with his own eyes the horror of puppets.

When the other end of the silk thread is wrapped around Wang Qiang's wrist, the living person seems to have become Qingchen's fingers and arms. The brain does not need to deliberately direct, the "puppet" will strictly follow the host's will to perform all actions .

No deviation, no delay, this feeling is amazing

The battle finally ended. Qingchen shouted into the woods: "Master, are you nearby?"

"Ahem, here you are," Li Shutong walked out: "Do you have any questions to ask?"

"What level am I at now?" Qingchen wondered.

"E-level," Li Shutong said.

"Didn't you say that after completing the first life-and-death test, you would be ranked F?" Qingchen was confused again.

"I don't know what's going on. All the physical qualities you have shown are E-level, so of course you are E-level," Li Shutong sighed: "You have broken many of the knight's conventions."

Qingchen said in his heart that is so.

Li Shutong smiled and asked: "How is it? I found that you have become more comfortable killing Qinghuai after killing Cao Wei. How does it feel to kill two C-levels with one E-level?"

Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "It's very easy, easier than I imagined. Just like I told you, Master, Cao Wei is the tiger, and Qing Huai is just a jackal covered in shiny fur."

"But you must remember," Li Shutong looked at his student and said seriously: "This time you have the right time, right place and right people. You have made full use of the home advantage of No. 002 Forbidden Land, and there are old guys helping you. After you go out, be careful when meeting C-class people. Of course, you have been cautious enough and never gave them a chance to fight back from the beginning to the end. I am just reminding them."

Qingchen nodded honestly, without any inflated emotions: "I remember, Master."

At some point, Qingchen's address to Li Shutong changed from teacher to master.

Li Shutong smiled and whispered: "Well, those old guys must be very happy to see you leapfrog and kill people. Remember, if you come to the wilderness again in the future, come to No. 002 Forbidden Land and deceive all the treasures in their hands. In hand..."
