Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 398 Bystanders

  The 112th floor of Utopia Building, in the cabin where Qingchen rents.

   Just when Park Chang-ho was thinking about “all coming” and planned to kill Qing Chen together, Shadow opened the Shadow Gate and pulled in Qing Chen, who was in the center of danger and chaos.

   Qingchen looked at her house curiously. .

  This is his first time through the Shadow Gate.

  He was still in the shop on the roadside of Fendou Road last second, and the next second he arrived at the Utopia Building. During that time, he was nothing unusual, as if he 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 shuttle space, and there was no need to go to any bank vault, no need to go to such a magical place.

  Only need to wake up every day, no need to drive, ride an electric car, no need to crowd the subway, crowd the bus, you can go to work and school directly.

  Or where you want to travel, you can get there by opening a door.

  What a happy thing this is.

   Thinking of this, Qing Chen's eyes were piercing, and he looked at Mr. Shadow's neck. The taboo ACE-008 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 courage of the bear?"

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

  Shadow thought for a while: "It doesn't matter if you look at it."

  Speaking of this, he actually pulled out the Shadow Gate Pendant directly from the neckline.

  Originally Qing Chen thought it would be an expensive object inlaid with sapphires, but did not expect that the end of the pendant was only a small silver clasp.

   is the kind of silver buckle used to store photos of relatives and lovers in it.

   "Whose picture is inside?" Qing Chen asked.

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

  "Is it a bit familiar," Shadow laughed.

   Qing Chen was silent, because the young man in the silver button was actually similar to him by three points, especially between the eyebrows and eyes.

  This similarity makes people feel familiar at first glance.

  "Who is in the photo?" Qing Chen asked, raising his head.

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

The shadow continued: "In the old era, there was also a Qing family consortium, and at that time this Qingzhen was also a shadow just like me. But the shadow status at that time was very low, and the power was not too great. It belonged to the consortium. The role is to be killed when it is used up internally. But when the Qing family consortium wanted to kill Qingzhen, the old ancestor suddenly raised the table, and the new Qing family was born."

  Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: "Why is his picture hidden in the Shadow Gate Pendant?"

"Because the master of the Shadow Gate fell in love with him, it was only love that was not obtained, and finally formed an obsession," Shadow explained with a smile: "This is all Qing's secret, the extraordinary person who unearthed the Shadow Gate , I loved Qingzhen for 49 years, so in No. 071 Forbidden Land, there is a tombstone with only 49 engraved on it."

   "No. 071 taboo place," Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He had heard of this taboo place from Master Li Shutong. It was the one with the rule "Only singles can enter".

  Shadow smiled and asked, “Are you a little curious, why are you and Qingzhen similar to each other after so many generations?”

   Qingchen nodded: “According to genetics, few dominant genes can be passed on for so many generations.”

"Because of the blood," said Ying with a smile: "I want to ask you, do you have a good memory, and you can memorize hundreds of digits after the decimal point of Pi? Do you have strong analytical skills, five-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division mental arithmetic? Can you tell at a glance?"

   Qing Chen froze for a while, wait, it turns out that this is Qing's bloodline ability, but what he can do is far more than that.

  Not to mention the hundreds of places behind Pi, he can remember tens of thousands of places.

At this time, the shadow said: "The Qing family is a very strange family. There will be such a monster every few generations. Not only Qingzhen, but also Qingwu seven hundred years ago, and Qingxu three hundred years ago. , Are all very amazing people. Of course, there are three others who have enchanting talents, but they have no intention of power."

Shadow continued: "But they all have a common feature, that is, they look exactly like Qingshang, and the more enchanting, the better they look. Of course, this is just my little discovery. Few people will go to all the ancestors from time to time. Photos and resume...Only when the past is not going well, will I think of digging out my ancestors and then changing to Feng Shui."

  "But I'm a person of the world, I shouldn't inherit this bloodline," Qing Chen said: "There is an ordinary world, there are only ordinary people, no extraordinary people."

Shadow shook his head: "Not necessarily. I have always suspected that the founder of the knight, Ren He, came from your world. Although I don't know what happened, the appearance of TimeWalker confirmed my thoughts, such as his creation. The farewell is from the outside world. There are so many overlapping people in the outside and outside worlds, so if the outside and inside worlds are parallel worlds, your ancestors may also have a person who has exactly the same DNA as Qingzhen. Of course, There are other possibilities too."

   Qing Chen was stunned, he didn't expect that Shadow was re-elected as a time traveler.

  He always felt that when the shadow said this, it seemed that he hadn't said anything, but he couldn't be sure what the other party deliberately missed.

  Shadow closed the silver button and tucked it back into the neckline.

  "What are the containment conditions of the Shadow Gate?" Qing Chen asked.

  Shadow said with a deep smile: "I am still thinking about my taboo, but it's nothing to tell you. Its containment condition is that it must be single forever."

   Qingchen: "???"

  Such strange containment conditions, doesn't the shadow have to stay single forever?

   He asked curiously: "Then what happens if the host of the Shadow Gate ends up being single? What is the definition of this, marriage certificate, affection, or intimacy?"

The shadow said with a grin, "I know what you are thinking. Taboos control the rules. It's not so good to take advantage of the gaps. People who want to take advantage of the taboos have no good end. You fall in love with others, have intimate relationships with others, fake Marriage, everything counts. As for what will happen if the host ends up being single...Many of the hosts before it have disappeared, maybe they were swallowed by the void in the Shadow Gate, maybe they are buried in Taboo Land No. 071 at the moment. Use it as fertilizer."

  Qing Chen pondered, although he has no lover now, he seems to be unable to use this stuff.

  Unexpectedly, this is still a very dangerous taboo.

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

  The shadow was silent for a moment: "No."

  "If there is one in the future, don't you worry?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

   "My life is not long anyway," Shadow said freely and freely: "So in the rest of the time, there is a high probability that nothing will change."

   Someone said before that the shadows don’t last long.

But……

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

Shadow waved his hand: "It was just pretending to be seen by outsiders. Many people think I was injured in the shadow war. Then I will give an obvious feature to support their thoughts. There is nothing better than coughing all the time. More like a patient."

  "So your life is still long?" Qing Chen asked curiously.

   "No, there are still three years," Shadow said quietly, "I sold my destiny to a taboo for something."

   Qing Chen was stunned: "For what kind of thing, you are willing to sell your destiny to the taboo?! What kind of taboo is it that you can exchange the fate of others?"

The shadow laughed loudly: "You won't take it seriously. Speaking of business, this time I gave you command, and you sold my subordinates to help you attract firepower and thunder. What should I do? I began to see you complete the transaction in person, thinking you really have the courage to be the bait. As a result, I secretly increased Qingzhou’s trading conditions with Kashima, so that after seeing Qingzhou, Shendai took all the main forces directly against Qingye. He Qingqi."

  Qingchen pondered for a moment and asked, “Aren’t we going to trade Jindai Jingbian, the result is good.”

  Shadow can't laugh or cry: "You are not afraid that one day in the future will take over the position of Shadow, Qingye and Qingqi will not listen to you?"

   "You can't tell them, is this your decision?" Qing Chen asked tentatively.

  However, at this moment, Qing's shadow took out his mobile phone, tuned back his communication channel with Qingye, Qingqi and others, and turned on hands-free.

  The shadow of Qing clan asked, "How is it?"

Qing Ye's violent gasp came from the communication channel: "Take it, that grandson of Qing Chen sold me so thoroughly, I feel that all the masters of God's generation have just been on my side. Really sir, you are the best in the near future. Don't let me see that grandson, or I have to kill him."

   Qingchen is silent...

The next moment, Qingqi’s heartbroken voice came from the communication channel again: "Sir, I strongly demand that that grandson be severely punished, the Godslayer killer will chase me for ten streets! The last time I felt so dangerous was still met. To that old boy Zheng Yuandong!"

   Qingchen raised his eyebrows. He had heard of He Jinqiu in the 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, he seems to have never heard of Zheng Yuandong.

  This is the first time Qing Chen heard this name in the world, right?

  However, before he could even think about it, the shadow had already spoken: “Sold your Qingchen, and I’m sitting next to me now. I’m driving the speakerphone.”

  There was silence in the communication channel.

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

   Qingchen looked up at the shadow expressionlessly, but saw the other party smiling silently, leaning forward and closing back.

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

   Qingdrive: "Okay, okay!"

  After speaking, the two ended up communicating directly.

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

   "You can't see my peace, do you," Qing Chen said grimly, "I am curious to ask a question, what is Zheng Yuandong's identity in the inner world?"

  As one of the largest time-walker organizations in the world, Kunlun must know that its leader is Zheng Yuandong, so there is nothing to hide.

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

   "Bystander?" Qing Chen wondered: "Is this an organization?"

   "Yes, it is a very loose organization. What they have to do is to record the large and small events that have occurred in the Federation, and then aggregate them into the same physical isolation network database," said Shadow.

   "Then why is he still the most expensive killer?" Qing Chen puzzled.

"I don't know about this. Maybe it's because you don't make money as a bystander, so you have to support your family," Shadow said with a smile: "The predecessor of this bystander organization is actually a journalist organization, which belongs to Hope Media and is dedicated to recording. The truth of history. Later, a small group of people felt that it was too dangerous for ordinary people to be investigative reporters, so bystanders also had to master force, so that they could have a fight against the evil forces. Later, the bystanders separated from the Hope Media. Come out, there are connections and differences between each other."

   Qingchen knows that the investigative journalist industry is indeed dangerous.

  Many reporters in the world investigating the detained laborers in the Black Heart Coal Mine have been injured and disabled, while reporters who exposed waste oil may be hit and killed on the street.

  He imagined that if investigative reporters were like Zheng Yuandong, they lurked undercover in a waste oil factory.

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

  That's quite interesting...

  But what a weird organization, Qing Chen couldn't understand what happened in the inner world, and the reporters who actually stimulated want to have their own armed forces? !

At this time, the shadow suddenly said: "I have always suspected that Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu actually came here a long time ago. It was earlier than when you entered Prison 18, although I am not sure yet. But this is my instinct."

   Qingchen frowned, and had to say that he and Shadow thought of going together.

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

Shadow smiled and said, "However, I don’t like too much suspicion for things without evidence. If they are really the earliest independent time-walkers, I will find evidence. Or to get back to business, I know you want to tear God and Deer. Island’s intelligence alliance, but what you played today... Kashima will definitely be able to respond to the replay after Kashima returns."

Qing Chen shook his head: "It's too late to react. I will tell the Shindai members of the Intelligence Department tonight that the one that Kashima traded to us is actually Shindai Yasubi, and Kashima has already informed about Shindai tonight. The personnel have been accurately eliminated, and this hatred has ended."

Qing Chen continued: "Perhaps they can still pretend that nothing happened, on the surface they continue to be friendly, but what is behind? 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. It only takes their intelligence personnel to hate each other."

This is enough.

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

  The shadow asked: "What are your plans next?"

   "Take Qingmu home," Qing Chen asked: "Qingzhun disappeared after receiving the Shendai Jingbian. It should have been delivered to you."

Shadow nodded: "It is not safe for Jindai Jingbian to put him in your place, so I asked Qingzhun to send him to a safe place. In addition, the confidentiality can be lifted tonight, and I will tell everyone that Jindai Jingbian is in your hands. , And all this is to take Qing Mu home."

  This is the first step in the psychological warfare. At present, the Qing clan is still unsure whether Shendai is willing to exchange Qingmu for Shendai Jingbian.

  But if they didn’t change, what would the intelligence personnel of the Godsend family think? Will anyone be unwilling to give up their lives to the God's generation family from now on?

  "Do you think Shindai will change?"

  Shadow sneered: "They must change. Only in this way, you are qualified to take over Qing's intelligence system."

  Qing Chen froze for a moment: "You can directly assign me as a shadow."

The shadow glanced at Qing Chen: "The internal factional struggle of the Qing family is extremely complicated. It is not that I said that if you become a shadow, you can become a shadow. Moreover, there is a Patriarch above the shadow. He is silent now, you are really When he was pinched by the face? I am just a beater."

  This is the first time Qing Chen has heard Shadow mention the Patriarch. It seems that he is also a very powerful character, but the relationship between Shadow and the other party does not seem to be harmonious.

  ……

  ……

  In the large office on the third floor of the Intelligence Department, a group of agents are happily discussing the battle tonight.

  Qinghua said with a smile: "Exhibition, your kid acting is pretty good just now."

The agent called Exhibition said: "You have to sneak up on other intelligence team members, and you have to pretend to be afraid of snipers. My acting skills can be regarded as extraordinary. By the way, I feel so stunned. That kid almost hit me with several shots!"

Xu Ling was the sniper hiding in the A4 sniper spot and cooperating with Qing Chen’s acting. He scratched his head and said, “Sorry, I only participated in the selection of snipers in the military, but I was not selected. It’s almost as good as a real sniper."

   Qinghua patted him on the shoulder: “It’s okay, this time I performed very well. I was really worried that your bullet would really kill the boss and Park Chang-ho, and the boss would be fine.”

Xu Ling smiled shyly: "The boss can come up with this kind of routine, my heart is really dirty. When I saw Park Chang-ho's tactical team clean up the members of the Gods, I felt very happy. By the way, you can see. Video, the 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."

   Qinghua's hand that originally patted him on the shoulder suddenly patted the back of Xu Ling's head: "What did the brat say, dare to slander the boss."

   Xu Ling aggrieved: "I'm complimenting him."

However, at this moment, Qing Hua received news from Qing Chen. He was silent for two seconds and looked at the agents: "Didn’t you always want to know what we are going to do tonight? I can tell you. We really want to tonight. The trader is Jingbian Shendai, and the boss will use him to make deals with Shendai and take Qingmu home. If Shendai disagrees, we will copy all the humiliation that Qingmu has suffered on Jingbian."

  Before this, this matter was kept secret from the agents, so everyone did not know it.

  But when everyone knew the truth, the originally frolicking office suddenly fell silent, and the agents stood up involuntarily, with solemn expressions and excitement that could not be concealed.

  In fact, Qing Chen still couldn't imagine what Qing's shadow helped him to bring to him.

  ……
