Night’s Nomenclature

On the 112th floor of Utopia Building, in Qingchen’s rented cabin.

Just when Park Chang-ho thought, 'Everyone has come' and planned to kill Qingchen as well, the shadow opened the shadow door and pulled Qingchen in, who was in the center of danger and chaos.

Qingchen looked at his house curiously.

This was his first time traveling through the Shadow Gate.

One second he was in a roadside shop on Fendou Road, and the next second he was at the Utopia Building. There was nothing strange about him during this period, as if he had simply passed through a small door.

I don’t know how many people have imagined that it would be great if they had a way to travel through space. There is no need to go to a bank vault or some magical place.

As long as you wake up every day, you can go directly to work and school without driving, riding an electric car, or squeezing in the subway or bus.

Or wherever you want to travel, you can reach it by opening a door.

What a happy thing.

Thinking of this, Qingchen looked at Mr. Shadow's neck with sharp eyes. The forbidden object ACE008 Shadow Gate Pendant should be hanging there...

Shadow couldn't laugh or cry: "Should I praise you for your courage, or should I scold you for having the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"

Qingchen narrowed his eyes: "I'll just take a look."

Shadow thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter if you take a look."

Having said this, he actually pulled the Shadow Gate pendant directly from his collar.

Qingchen originally thought it would be an expensive object inlaid with sapphires, but he didn't expect that the end of the pendant was just a small silver button.

It's the kind of silver buckle used to store photos of relatives and loved ones inside.

"Whose photo is in it?" Qingchen asked.

Shadow took it in his hand and opened the silver buckle, revealing the photo inside. Inside was a handsome young man.

"Doesn't it look familiar?" Shadow smiled.

Qingchen fell silent, because the young man in the silver button was very similar to him, especially between the eyebrows.

This similarity makes people feel familiar at first glance.

"Who is in the photo?" Qingchen raised his head and asked.

Shadow smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with you. Don't be too suspicious. He is Qing Zhen, the founder of the Qing clan in the new era of human civilization."

The shadow continued: "In the old era, there was also a Qing family consortium, and at that time Qing Zhen was also a shadow like me. But at that time, the shadow status was very low, and his power was not too great. He belonged to the consortium. A character who can be killed internally. But when the Qing Consortium wanted to kill Qing Zhen, the ancestor suddenly turned the table over, and the new Qing Clan was born."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Why is there a photo of him hidden in the Shadow Gate pendant?"

"Because the owner of the Shadow Gate fell in love with him, but the love was not obtained, and eventually obsession formed," Shadow explained with a smile: "This is the secret of the Qing family, the extraordinary person who analyzed the Shadow Gate , I have loved Qing Zhen for 49 years, so in the forbidden place No. 071, there is a tombstone with only 49 engraved on it."

"Forbidden Place No. 071," Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He had heard about this forbidden place from his master Li Shutong. It was the one with the rule "Only singles can enter."

Shadow smiled and asked, "Are you a little curious as to why you and Qing Zhen are still somewhat similar after so many generations?"

Qingchen nodded: "According to genetics, there are few dominant genes that can be passed on for so many generations."

"Because of your bloodline," Shadow said with a smile, "I want to ask you, do you have a good memory and can even memorize a few hundred digits after the decimal point of pi? Do you usually have strong analytical skills and can perform mental arithmetic of five-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division? Can you tell at a glance?"

Qingchen was stunned for a moment, wait, so this is Qing's bloodline ability, but what he can do is far more than that.

Not to mention the hundreds of digits after pi, he can remember tens of thousands of digits.

At this time, the shadow said: "The Qing family is a very strange family. Every few generations there will be such a monster, not only Qing Zhen, but also Qing Wu seven hundred years ago, Qing Xu three hundred years ago. , are all very remarkable people. Of course, there are three others who also have monster-like talents, but they have no intention of power."

Shadow continued: "But they all have one thing in common, that is, they look exactly like Qing Zhen, and the more evil they are, the better-looking they are. Of course, this is just my little discovery, and few people will look through all the ancestors' books from time to time. Photos and resumes... Only when things go wrong do you think of digging up your ancestors and changing the feng shui."

"But I'm from the outside world, so I shouldn't inherit this kind of bloodline," Qingchen said, "It's an ordinary world there, with only ordinary people and no extraordinary beings."

Shadow shook his head: "Not necessarily. I have always suspected that Ren He, the founder of the Knights, came from your world. Although I don't know what happened specifically, the appearance of the Time Walker further confirmed my idea. For example, he created The farewell comes from the outside world. Therefore, if the outside world and the inner world are parallel worlds, your ancestors may also have someone with the same DNA as Qing Zhen. Of course, there are other possibilities."

Qingchen was stunned. He didn't expect that Shadow Renhe would know that he was a time walker.

He always felt that when Shadow said this, there seemed to be something missing, but he couldn't be sure what the other person missed on purpose.

Shadow closed the silver button and stuffed it back into the collar.

"What are the conditions for containing the Shadow Gate?" Qingchen asked.

Shadow said with a deep smile: "You are still thinking about this forbidden object like me, but it doesn't matter if I tell you. Its accommodation condition is that it must be single forever."

Qingchen: "???"

With such strange accommodation conditions, wouldn’t the shadow have to remain single forever?

He asked curiously: "What will happen if the host of the Shadow Gate ends being single? What defines this, a marriage certificate, a relationship, or an intimate relationship?"

Shadow said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking. Forbidden objects control rules, and it is not easy to take advantage of them. People who want to take advantage of forbidden objects will have bad consequences. If you fall in love with others and have an intimate relationship with others, fake Marriage, everything counts. As for what will happen if the host ends being single... Many of its previous hosts have disappeared, perhaps swallowed by the void in the Shadow Gate, and may now be buried in Forbidden Place No. 071 It’s used as fertilizer.”

Qingchen thought to himself that although he didn't have a lover now, he didn't seem to be able to use this thing.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a very dangerous taboo item.

He looked at the shadow: "Don't you have anyone you like?"

Shadow was silent for a moment: "No."

"What if it happens in the future, wouldn't you worry?" Qingchen wondered.

"Anyway, my days are short," Shadow said calmly, "so there is a high probability that there will be no changes in the remaining time."

Someone has said before that the shadow's time is not long.

But……

"You haven't coughed for a long time recently," Qingchen said seriously.

Shadow waved his hand: "That's just a pretense for outsiders to see. Many people think that I was injured in the Shadow War, so I will give an obvious feature to support their thoughts. What else can look better than coughing all the time? More like a patient."

"So you still have a long life to live?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"No, there are still three years," Shadow said calmly: "I sold my destiny to a forbidden object for something."

Qingchen was stunned: "For what kind of thing, you are willing to sell your destiny to a forbidden object?! And what kind of forbidden object can exchange the fate of others?"

Shadow laughed loudly: "You can't take it seriously. Let's get down to business. This time I gave you command, but you actually sold my subordinates to help you attract fire and block mines. How should I deal with this matter? I just At first I saw you completing the deal in person, and I thought you really had the courage to be the bait. But in the end, Kashima secretly added Qingzhou as a trading condition, so that after Jindai saw Qingzhou, he would directly use all his main forces to target Qingye and Qingqi.”

Qingchen thought for a moment and asked: "Aren't we going to trade Jindai Jingbian? The result is good."

Shadow couldn't laugh or cry: "Aren't you afraid that if you take over the position of Shadow one day, Qingye and Qingqu will not listen to you?"

"Can't you tell them that this is your decision?" Qingchen asked tentatively.

However, at this moment, Qing's shadow took out his mobile phone, dialed back the communication channel between him and Qingye, Qingqu and others, and turned on the speakerphone.

Qing's shadow asked: "How's it going?"

Qingye's violent breathing came from the communication channel: "I'm convinced, Qingchen's grandson actually sold me so thoroughly, I feel like all the masters of the Gods have just been on my side. Really, sir, you're the best in the near future. Don't let me see that grandson, or I will have to kill him."

Qingchen fell silent...

The next moment, Qingqi's heartbroken voice came from the communication channel: "Sir, I strongly demand that that grandson be punished severely. The killer of the gods gave me a chase. He chased me for ten streets! The last time I felt so dangerous was when I met him. Go to that old boy Zheng Yuandong!"

Qingchen raised his eyebrows. He had heard of He Jinqiu in the other world because he was one of the twelve directors of the Hu family, the largest neutral intelligence agency in the federation, and Li Changqing was also one of them.

However, it seems that he has never heard of Zheng Yuandong.

Is this the first time Qingchen has heard this name in the other world?

However, before he could think about it, Shadow had already spoken: "Qingchen, who sold you, is sitting next to me right now. I'm watching on speaker phone."

There was silence in the communication channel.

Time seemed to be frozen by Qing's shadow's time ability.

Qingchen looked up at the shadow with an expressionless face, only to see him smiling silently, leaning forward and back.

I don’t know how long it took, but Qingye broke the deadlock. He smiled heartily: "Hahahahahaha, I didn’t say anything just now. By the way, Qingqu, where are you now? I’ll take you to a good place to drink!"

Qingqu: "Okay, okay!"

After saying that, the two of them ended the communication directly.

Shadow laughed out loud: "Look, they already know that you sold them, so you have to be careful in the future and be careful of these two people retaliating against you."

"You don't want to see me in peace, right," Qingchen said angrily: "I'm curious to ask a question, what is Zheng Yuandong's identity in the other world?"

Kunlun is one of the largest time traveler organizations in the world, and Shadow must know that its leader is Zheng Yuandong, so there is nothing to hide about it.

Shadow thought for a while and said: "He is one of the most mysterious bystanders in the Federation and the most expensive killer."

"Bystanders?" Qingchen was confused: "Is this an organization?"

"Yes, it is a very loose organization. All they have to do is record all the events that have happened in the Federation, and then compile them into a database on the same physically isolated network," Shadow said.

"Then why is he still the most expensive killer?" Qingchen was puzzled.

"I don't know about this, maybe it's because being a bystander doesn't make money, you have to support your family," Shadow said with a smile: "The predecessor of this bystander organization is actually a journalist organization, belonging to Hope Media, dedicated to recording Historical truth. Later, a small group of people felt that it was too dangerous for ordinary people to be investigative reporters, so bystanders should also use force, so that they could have a fighting chance in the face of evil forces. Later, bystanders separated from Hope Media When they come out, they are connected and different from each other.”

Qingchen knows that the investigative reporter industry is indeed dangerous.

Many reporters around the world who investigated the illegal detention of laborers in coal mines were beaten and disabled, while reporters who exposed gutter oil might be beaten to death on the streets.

He imagined if investigative reporters were like Zheng Yuandong, lurking undercover in gutter oil factories.

Once a shady boss discovers him as an undercover reporter, the undercover reporter will kill all the shady bosses in the waste oil factory...

That's quite interesting...

But what kind of strange organization is this? Qingchen can't understand what happened in the other world, and it actually stimulated reporters to want to have their own armed forces? !

At this time, Shadow suddenly said: "I have always suspected that Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu actually came here a long time ago. It was earlier than the time you entered Prison No. 18, although I can't be sure yet. But that’s my gut feeling.”

Qingchen frowned. He had to say that he and Shadow wanted to go together.

At a certain moment, he also had such a guess.

Shadow smiled and said: "However, I don't like to speculate too much about things without evidence. If they are really the earliest batch of independent time walkers, I will find evidence. Let's get back to business. I know you want to tear apart the gods and deer. Kashima’s intelligence alliance, but what you acted today… Kashima will definitely be able to react after reviewing it after he returns.”

Qingchen shook his head: "It was already too late when I realized it. I will tell the Jindai members of the Intelligence Division tonight that what Kashima traded to us was actually Jindai Jingbei. Moreover, tonight Kashima has already obtained information about Jindai." The personnel carried out precise clearing, and the feud was settled regardless of the situation."

Qingchen continued: "Maybe they can still pretend that nothing happened and continue to be harmonious on the surface, but what about behind the scenes? Can this hatred really be forgotten? Mr. Shadow, what I want is not for them to announce the end of the alliance in a high-profile manner. All it takes is for their intelligence officers to hate each other.”

This is enough.

What Qingchen wanted from the beginning was to keep this intelligence alliance in name only.

Shadow asked: "What are your plans next?"

"Take Qing Mu home," Qing Chen asked, "Qing Zhun disappeared after receiving Jindai Jingbian. He should have been delivered to you."

Shadow nodded: "It's not safe for Kamdai Jingbian to be left with you, so I asked Qing Zhun to send him to a safe place. In addition, the confidentiality can be lifted tonight, and I will tell everyone that Kamishiro Jingbian is in your hands. inside, and then all this is to take Qingmu home."

This is the first step in psychological warfare. The Qing family is still not sure whether Jindai is willing to trade Qingmu for Jindai Jingbian.

But if they don’t change, what will the Jindai family’s intelligence officers think? Will there be some people who are no longer willing to work wholeheartedly for the Jindai family?

"Do you think the age of gods will change?"

Shadow sneered: "They must change. Only in this way can you be qualified to take over the Qing family's intelligence system."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "You can just identify me as the shadow."

The shadow glanced at Qingchen: "The factional struggle within the Qing family is extremely complicated. I didn't tell you to become a shadow, so you can become a shadow. Moreover, there is a family leader above the shadow. He remains silent now, so you really Do you think he was manipulated by someone else? I am just a worker."

This was the first time Qingchen heard Shadow mention the head of the family. It seemed that he was also a very powerful person, but the relationship between Shadow and the other party did not seem to be harmonious.

…

…

In the large office on the third floor of the Intelligence Unit, a group of agents were happily discussing tonight's battle.

Qing Hua smiled and said, "Zhen Chen, your acting skills were pretty good just now."

The agent named Chen Zhen said sarcastically: "I have to sneak up on other people in the intelligence team, and I have to pretend to be afraid of snipers. My acting skills are really extraordinary. By the way, I feel so bad about Xu." That kid almost hit me with several shots!"

Xu Ling was the sniper hidden in the A4 sniper point, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to cooperate with Qingchen's acting. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I only participated in the sniper role in the army. I was selected, but I wasn’t selected, and my level is not even close to that of a real sniper.”

Qinghua patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter. You performed very well this time. I was really worried that you would kill the boss and Park Chang-ho with a bullet. Just let the boss be fine."

Xu Ling smiled shyly: "The boss is really dirty when he comes up with such a trick. When I saw Park Chang-ho's tactical team cleaning up the members of the Goddess, I felt so happy. By the way, you can watch it. For video recording, my boss asked me to put a camera next to the sniper rifle so that I can take a panoramic view of the battlefield and review it."

Qing Hua's hand that originally patted his shoulder suddenly slapped Xu Ling on the back of the head: "What are you talking about, brat? How dare you slander the boss."

Xu Ling said aggrievedly, "I'm just praising him."

However, at this moment, Qing Hua received the news from Qing Chen. He was silent for two seconds and looked at the agents: "You have always wanted to know what we are going to do tonight. I can tell you. What we really want to do tonight The person doing the deal is Jindai Jingbei, and the boss wants to use him to make a deal with Jindai and take Qingmu home. If Jindai doesn't agree, we will copy all the humiliation Qingmu has suffered on Jindai Jingbei."

Before this, this matter was kept secret from the detectives, so no one knew about it.

But when everyone knew the truth, the originally playful big office suddenly fell silent. The agents stood up involuntarily, with solemn expressions but unconcealable excitement.

In fact, Qingchen still couldn't imagine what the Qing family's shadow would bring to him.
