Nomenclature of Night

Countdown 168:00:00.

In prison 18 in the dark, a warm breath was suddenly transmitted from a certain cell.

Gradually, the warm breath turned into scorching heat.

The heat wave was surging outward from the cell, like the evening ocean tide in the equatorial zone.

In the two cells next to this cell, prisoners slapped the alloy gate frantically, calling for help.

Their cries for help are getting smaller and smaller, and the water in their bodies is quickly evaporated by the high temperature, and they are dehydrated after only two minutes have passed.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping on the first floor, suddenly got up. He went to the square and looked up, and then glanced at Ye Wan who had also noticed something wrong: "Awakening of the Elemental System?"

"Yeah," Ye Wan nodded, "It's Liu Dezhu's cell."

Lin Xiaoxiao was inexplicably stunned: "What did this kid experience in the world of watch, and he awakened?!"

The alloy gates on the square opened, six robotic prison guards lined up in two neatly entering the arena, and the honeycomb drones above the sky also fell down and flew toward the abnormal cell.

"Save people first," Ye Wan's legs were slightly bent, and he leaped forward and landed firmly on the corridor on the third floor like a tiger. He opened the two alloy gates next door and threw the prisoners who had collapsed inside far away. Place.

The heat wave in the cell was pouring out through the alloy gate, and Ye Wan's forehead hair began to feel scorched.

The next moment, a semi-transparent force field suddenly gathered in front of him, and when the heat swept through, one could still see the bell-shaped force field lined up with a dense honeycomb structure.

Ye Wan stood in front of the cell door. On both sides of the corridor he was in stood three mechanical prison guards, and behind him was a drone hovering in mid-air.

He waited until the temperature inside began to drop, and Ye Wan signaled the mechanical prison guard to open the alloy gate.

With a click, the alloy gate opened, and Liu Dezhu was sitting weakly on the ground. The daily necessities in the house were all burned to black or white ash.

The strange thing is that the clothes on Liu Dezhu are still intact.

This guy is in a state of malaise, but his expression is extremely excited and murmured: "I am the Awakened! I really have become the Awakened!"

"Come out," Ye Wan said, "I'll change your cell."

Liu Dezhu suddenly turned his head: "Where's the boss? Has my boss returned? I have to tell him the news. I succeeded!"

Ye Wan looked strange. He didn't expect this guy's first reaction was to tell Qing Chen the news of his awakening.

He still doesn't know. In Liu Dezhu's opinion, if the boss hadn't told him to remain angry, he might not be able to awaken now...

At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao came to the door and said with a smile: "Your boss has no time to talk to you now."

"Then what level am I now?" Liu Dezhu asked.

"Class C," Lin Xiaoxiao leaned against the door boredly: "Don't be happy so early, you still have a long way to go."

...

...

In the wilderness, beside the lonely bonfire, Li Shutong looked at Qing Chen with a smile: "Is there any persistence in practice when I go back this time?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded and took off his shirt, revealing the muscles on his body.

Li Shutong was a little surprised: "I deliberately didn't remind you to practice. I just wanted to see how unself-disciplined you occasionally appeared, but I didn't expect you to persist in it. Strange, after becoming a knight with so much power, you can still admire yourself. Does the practice grow slowly?"

Just as many people suddenly become rich and are worth more than 100 million yuan, if someone on the ground loses ten dollars, the extremely rich person may not be willing to bend over to pick it up.

Don't say ten dollars, they don't like a few thousand dollars.

At this time, Li Shutong felt that if Qingchen became a billionaire, even if he saw a penny coin embedded in the concrete pavement while walking, his own student would find a way to extract the coin.

This made Li Shutong a little bit wondering what to say.

Other teachers expect students to be more self-disciplined, but he expects his students to relax occasionally.

This feeling is not right!

Qing Chen put on his shirt again, and he added a few sticks of wood to the bonfire and said, "Master, it's not how self-discipline I am. It's something I remembered. Lin Xiaoxiao once told me to experience life and death as an ordinary person. , So I think continuing to practice will definitely come in handy."

Li Shutong sighed, "You are quite smart."

"The knight is already an extraordinary after being promoted, how should he return to the state of an ordinary person?" Qing Chen wondered.

"I'm still thinking about letting you relax and tell you after you become a transcendent," Li Shutong said: "You try to reverse the frequency of the breathing technique."

Qing Chen recalled the frequency of the breathing technique. In an instant, ice blue lines burst out on both sides of his cheeks, which were completely different from the previous flame lines.

Just listening to the click in the body, Qing Chen actually felt that the gene lock that had been opened in his body had been locked again!

The rushing power in the body was also pulled away to a certain corner after this moment.

He suddenly looked at Li Shutong: "Teacher, do you have to retrograde breathing every time you go through life and death?"

"Yes," Li Shutong nodded, "And the breathing technique cannot be interrupted, even if it is interrupted for one second, it must be restarted."

"That's it," Qing Chen nodded.

He put away his breathing technique, but the gene lock did not reopen.

Li Shutong explained to the side: “Don’t worry, the gene lock will not reopen after an hour after the inverse breathing technique is over. This is also a price for using breathing technique. If you experience the life and death barrier, you can restart the gene at any time. Lock, the life and death pass is meaningless."

"In this way, isn't it very dangerous for the knight to go through the life and death pass, if someone deliberately obstructs it, the original life and death pass of nine deaths will become ten deaths without life," Qing Chen asked.

"Therefore, the knight must keep a secret when going through life and death," Li Shutong said.

"Is there no way to forcibly reopen the gene lock?" Qing Chen wondered, "I won't let anyone kill him."

"Yes, but I hope you will never use it," Li Shutong said: "After you have reverse breathing, you can forcefully perform forward breathing to open the shackles again, but the price is that you can only stay in this life. In the realm of the moment."

Qing Chen was silent for a moment: "Someone must have paid the price for this."

"Of course," Li Shutong said with emotion: "The realm of your uncle Chen Jiazhang was stagnated because of this matter. At that time, he was ambushed and blocked when the power of completion emerged. At that time, he had no choice but to reduce the realm. Always stay at the A level."

It turns out that the danger that knights have to face when experiencing life and death comes not only from nature, but also from sinister hearts.

At this time, Qing Chen felt his strength after becoming an ordinary person, and he was clearly much bigger than before he climbed the cliff: "Teacher, I found a friend in the watch world who can control the force field, and created a gravity warehouse for me. How do I feel that after the gravity chamber is combined with the breathing technique, the advancement is several times faster."

"Control the force field?" Li Shutong thought for a while: "The inner world hasn't seen an awakened person who can control the force field for a long time. Are you sure you control the force field and not the air?"

"OK," Qing Chen nodded: "Anything to say?"

"Awakened persons who can control the four basic powers are born bright," Li Shutong said: "Their upper limit is very high, and their fighting ability is also extremely strong. In the history of the New Civilization Era, almost every such awakened person has had it. A pivotal position."

Qing Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Yang Yang's ability to be so vigorous.

At this time, Li Shutong asked, "Is your friend a boy or a girl? It should be a good relationship if it can help you create a gravity storage practice."

"Girl," Qing Chen answered honestly.

Li Shutong was lost in thought.

"What's the matter, Master?" Qing Chen asked.

"Do you know where she is in the world? Do you have any family members?" Li Shutong looked at Qingchen: "Do you need Master to help you propose marriage?"

Qing Chen: "...Master, I don't have any affection with that girl, and I'm very sure now. She suddenly appeared because of her own purpose, so don't think about it too much."

"All right," Li Shutong said.

"Master, where are we going next, back to prison 18?" Qing Chen asked.

"It must be a return, but you have to do something in the 18th city before you return," Li Shutong explained with a smile: "How long is your countdown this time?"

"7 days."

"It will take four days to go back to the 18th city. If there are three days left... enough!" Li Shutong said firmly.

Qing Chen has some doubts, why is this master taking himself?

...

...

Countdown 72:00:00.

The 6th district of city No. 18, at night.

A silver-haired girl wearing white headphones, listening to the soft music flowing like a stream, walked into the glass elevator of the Luoshen Building.

She raised her slender wrist and pressed the elevator button on the 132th floor, then turned around to watch the city night outside the transparent glass as the elevator climbed.

The girl carried a cross-body bag, which contained her reader and personal belongings.

The bag is a little worn out, and friends always persuade her to replace it with a new one, but she always replied that she likes the bear pattern on the bag, so she is reluctant to change it.

In fact, the girl did not receive a penny from her family after graduating from junior high school. She had to work part-time to earn high tutoring class fees, so that she could hope to enter a better university.

Moreover, going to college is just a new beginning. You must know that unless she is admitted to the Tinder Military Academy or the Northwest Military Academy, she will have to bear higher tuition fees.

Every university has a scholarship, but the problem is that she doesn't have such a good resume to support her scholarship.

Thinking of this girl is also a little confused, she doesn't know where her way out in life is.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, one hand blocked the elevator door.

The girl saw from the reflection on the glass that a middle-aged man and a teenager walked into the elevator. Both of them were wearing brand-new white sportswear and brand-new black caps.

The brim of the hat was so low that the silver-haired girl couldn't see the looks of the two.

After the two came in, they did not press the elevator button, but also stood quietly behind the girl, looking out the glass window of the elevator as well.

She remembered the rumors that the residents on the 89th floor had been robbed, and gradually tightened the strap of her shoulder bag, and her clean nails were also stamped out on the belt.

It's just that the girl looked at each other in the reflection, she always felt that these two did not seem to be the members of the lawless society.

At least she has never seen a member of the society wear it so clean.

Yes, the girl's first impression of these two is actually clean.

The elevator climbed quickly, and the girl's eardrum felt a little discomfort. This was because the elevator was too fast and the floor was too high, just like when a plane took off.

At this time, the elevator has reached the 91st floor, and outside the window is an intricate overpass that traverses the sky, covering the entire city, connecting the tall buildings to the sky square.

When the street lights are on, the overpass is like a nebula lingering between the cities.

The teenager behind her looked out the window and said, "Would you not get lost in such a complicated city traffic?"

"I don't know," the middle-aged man replied, "The teacher used to go out with a driver."

The girl poked her mouth secretly, now it's the era of autopilot, who is idle and has nothing to do with the driver.

Also, although this overpass is complicated, you only need to tell the artificial intelligence your destination when driving.

With a ding sound, the elevator reached the 132th floor.

The silver-haired girl was nervous and did not dare to move, but the middle-aged and young man walked out of the elevator first and went straight to the depths of the corridor.

After the other party got out of the elevator, she slowly turned around, but saw that the other party had pressed the code in front of a door, and with a click, the door lock was unlocked.

The silver-haired girl didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until then. It turned out to be a neighbor, and she lived across from her house!

Just now the two people didn't press the elevator when they came in, and she was a little bit frightened.

It's just that the silver-haired girl is a little curious at this time. The opposite of her house has been unoccupied for a long time, and she has not moved into the new landlord after the sudden renovation in the previous period. Why did she suddenly visit in the middle of the night.

strangeness.

On the other side, after entering the house, Qing Chen took off his hat: "The girl seemed very scared just now. Is the law and order in the 18th city too bad? This is not the case in the watch world. The girl walks on the street most of the night. Don’t worry too much...at least in big cities."

Li Shutong said: "This is a problem left over from history. The federal government has abolished one third of its police force due to one incident, so the crime rate has increased frequently."

"Reduce police power?" Qing Chen couldn't imagine.

"It's not just about the abolition of the police force, you can hardly even imagine that, except for the upper three districts, the traffic cameras in the other districts have been in disrepair for many years," Li Shutong said calmly, "It's okay, you can only feel it when you live here in the future. What a sick country this is."

"Master, what you want to do is to change it?" Qing Chen asked.

Li Shutong smiled: "Don't ask so much, let's visit your new house first."

Qing Chen looked around and found that there was a room, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen of more than 80 square meters. Because there was only one bedroom in the room, each room looked very large.

At the end of the living room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, outside the window is a panoramic view of the sixth district of the city.

With sofas and home appliances placed in the living room, everything looks brand new.
