Nomenclature of Night

Chapter 705: The man who has never won, won once

  Return countdown 6:00:00.

   Demigod personally set off a frenzy on the Internet for the 21-year-old platform of the 10th city.

  The mystery of the longevity of knights has finally been solved...

  Although the live broadcast looked weird, the demigod seemed a little unhappy, as if he had been kidnapped.

   But who else in this world can kidnap the demigod Li Shutong? Certainly not.

   So the live broadcast is real, and the Knights will never sacrifice their reputation for live broadcasts...

   Commonwealth citizens began to boil.

  There are women who want to immigrate to the 10th city and get relatively fair treatment and maternity leave in the workplace.

  There are parents who want to immigrate to City No. 10, so that their children can gain some advantages in future exams and enjoy free nine-year compulsory education.

   There are small businessmen who want to immigrate to the 10th city and get tax relief. Although city No. 10 announced that companies must pay overtime, the tax for small and micro businesses there has been reduced to 3%. Compared with the reduction in tax, overtime pay is nothing at all.

  In every era, there are trend-setters, who rise with the waves and pursue opportunities for success. .

   In just one day, tens of thousands of people in the cities of the Federation left the cities where they lived.

   However, the various consortiums also responded very quickly. On the night of the same day, Li, Chen, Kashima, and Shendai all got stuck in the entry-exit inspection of each city.

  When all residents apply for a departure visa, once the reason is to go to the 10th city, the visa will be refused.

  Some residents lied that they were going to other cities, and they were also refused visas and could not get out.

   Moreover, the political center of each city also issued an announcement: In the near future, federal citizens are not allowed to leave the city for non-official business.

  Especially those high-tech talents are all on the focus list of various cities. As long as they are identified by face recognition at the entry and exit gates, they will be immediately persuaded by the garrison to return.

  The meeting room of the city garrison unit on No. 10 was quiet, only the voice of Luo Wanya talking to the soldiers of the garrison unit next door remained: "Let's share your saddest thing..."

   For a while, the strategies that Qing Chen finally formulated were all empty talk.

  The president, vice president, and congressmen know very well that no one can take away those scientists, entrepreneurs, and high-caliber talents unscathed under the strict guard of the consortium.

   Li Shutong can do it, but can Li Shutong break into so many cities with the same person?

   The situation froze.

The president approached Qingchen and asked: "Are we going to continue to formulate policies? I have already contacted four industry leaders who want to come to the 10th city. Two of them have severe decline in their lung and lung functions. They can't wait, but it is impossible for them to leave the city. .I heard that their team members were all entered into the facial recognition system and were placed under residential surveillance."

   Qingchen is not too surprised. After World War II, scientists from all over the world are actually facing this situation.

   Each consortium did this in order to completely lock the talents in their own territory.

  Qingchen took a sip of water calmly: "What's the hurry, don't be afraid."

  The members looked at each other: "Boss, how can we not be in a hurry?"

   It is not Qingchen who is most anxious now, but those MPs.

   Previously, Qingchen promised them that as long as they could dig up seven industry leaders who came with patents, they would increase their lifespan by 21 years and restore their freedom. Now they have worked hard for a long time, and the result has all turned into a dream...

   is out of soup.

  The members looked at Qingchen eagerly in the conference room, thinking that we can indeed shake people, but you can't pick them up, it's not everyone's fault.

However, Qingchen just smiled and said: "Everyone's mobile phones have been encrypted, just don't worry, as for whether I can take them away, that's my business, don't worry about it. You continue to call, as long as you confirm the other party. If you want to, I will send someone to pick it up, and if you can’t pick it up due to force majeure, it will count as your performance.”

The congressmen became excited, and they picked up their mobile phones and dialed out: "Hey, Lao Li, you can watch the live broadcast of the demigod Li Shutong on the Internet... Yes, that's right, I have confirmed it with my own eyes, and on the 10th The city is in shambles, so this is a great opportunity.”

   One by one, the congressmen first became the voice consultants of the Navy, and now they have become telemarketers.

  Qingchen stood in the conference room, and suddenly there was a feeling... standing in the big office in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", his eyes were full of opportunities and transactions, lies and desires...

   He pondered silently, first of all, this plan still requires Zheng Yuandong to arrive in City No. 10, and he needs the other party's black eye of true vision to perform the "secret keeping technique".

  Secondly, after his return, he discussed with Principal Zheng how to use the key door to pick up people.

   This time, Li, Chen, Shendai, and Kashima blocked the border. Qingchen was not surprised. He even understood why Li did this.

   Li Yunshou and Li's privy office want to safeguard the interests of their own consortium. Even if they are familiar with Qingchen, Qingchen is still an outsider after all.

   They cannot help Qingchen at the expense of their own interests.

   To Qingchen's surprise, the seven cities under Qing's control were all opened up, as if he was allowed to greedily absorb talents and sit back and watch.

  The big figures in the Qing clan must have realized how many high-end talents will be poached in the 10th city, but the seven cities are like being pressed the mute button, and there is no response at all.

   is like giving him all the talents.

   What about the people from various factions of the Qing clan, have they started to support him too? Qingchen was very puzzled, but he didn't know what happened.

   Don't those people know that this incident will shake the foundation of the Qing clan?

   But now is not the time to think about it, Qingchen has more important things to do.

   Time for a comeback.

  …

  …

  Return countdown 2:00:00.

  He walked on the long street this autumn, his face still bleak.

   He is leaving City 10.

   Now he has nine sapphire heart swords, one has just been repaired and cannot fight, and the remaining eight have cracks and must be repaired by returning to the surface world and using the purple orchid star.

   The price he paid for this battle was huge, unless someone who also practiced the Sapphire Heart Sword would not understand.

  He looked down at this autumn, thinking about whether what he had done was worth it.

While he was thinking about it, a pedestrian suddenly walked up to him on the road: "Hello, I have seen you. Before, I was guarding the 53rd line of defense with the parent-teacher association. At that time, the line of defense collapsed, and it was your sapphire heart sword that saved us. "

   The refugee was holding his own child: "Call uncle, thank you uncle for saving us."

   The six-year-old child said obediently, "Thank you, uncle."

   Immediately after, more people recognized He Jinqiu: "I was also saved by a flying sword at that time, thank you, I thought I was going to die!"

   At this moment, He Jinqiu suddenly dreamed back to more than ten years ago, when he and the old monitor had just come down from the flood-fighting embankment.

  The soldiers in one of their squads were all wearing camouflage vests, and their shoes had long been lost. Everyone limped on the mud and returned to the tent behind the flood control headquarters. Everyone sat blankly.

too tired.

   At this time, some uncles and aunts sneaked into the camp. They were holding instant noodles, mineral water, small bread, and boiled eggs, and then enthusiastically said that the boys have worked hard, you are all heroes.

hero? He Jinqiu recalled that time, and it seemed that he was far away from the title of hero.

   He and Zheng Yuandong sat side by side in the tent, laughing and teasing each other while eating buns, laughing and laughing everyone fell asleep against the tent.

   Thinking of those hard days now, He Jinqiu only feels bitter and sweet.

  The long street was noisy, He Jinqiu looked at everyone silently: "You're welcome, it should be."

   He turned his head to look back at the end of the long street, and decided not to think about whether it was worth it for the time being.

  Return countdown 1:00:00.

  In the garrison camp.

   "Parents, the number has been counted," Xiao San said in a low mood.

  Qingchen hummed: "Tell me."

   "Kunlun killed 632 personnel, all killed."

   "There were 4,811 Time Walkers, 889 were killed, and 3,922 survived."

   "There were 12,329 members of the parent-teacher association, 9,417 were killed, and 2,912 survived."

   "There were 46,521 people in each association, 31,882 people died in action, and 14,639 people survived."

   The huge number of deaths was reported, and everyone present was silent.

  The whole city has experienced a disaster, and everyone has left a wound that cannot be healed.

  Qingchen looked at the family members, academy time walkers, and members of the society in front of him, and asked softly, "Do you regret it?"

  Little San and the others looked at each other: "I don't regret it."

  Luo Wanya suddenly said: "There are 14,639 surviving members of the associations, and all of them have applied to join the parent-teacher association. The urban census has also been completed. The remaining population of the city is 5.97 million, and one-half of the refugees are applying to join the parent-teacher association."

   This is the gift the world gives to PTAs.

   Qingchen also asked the president, congressmen, and celebrities to come and listen to the report.

   so they knew what was going on outside the garrison camp while they were thinking about coffee, whiskey, cigars.

  Song Cui Cui had no makeup and wore a simple ponytail, watching the teenager standing in front of the crowd, listening to the tragic figures just now.

   She only felt that this young inspector was different from when she first met.

   The spirit is still there, but it will not show its edge at any time.

  Qingchen looked at everyone in front of him and said, "We have experienced a disaster, which is very difficult for us to encounter in the world. Here I would like to thank everyone present."

   "I thank you all for killing that cowardly self in disaster."

   "I thank you all for being heroes."

"thanks."

  Qingchen looked at the team again, Chen Zhuoyu and Hu Jingyi stood with the children.

He said calmly: "What I said next may be difficult for you to accept: in this disaster, you are the protected ones. Next time, please be like those heroes and protect others. To change the world, I need all Everyone stand up and stop cowardly hiding behind everyone."

   "Everyone's life in the past is to keep learning at the request of your parents. They will always tell you that you just need to study hard."

   "But it's different now. The grand era is just around the corner. If you can't break through and make progress, you can only be submerged in the era."

Qingchen looked at Chen Zhuochuan, Hu Jingyi, Zhang Hubao, and the others: "Have you seen what the demigod Li Shutong said, do you envy it, do you want to do it, it's the farthest way out of all the shortcuts in the world, If you want, then use your life to exchange it tonight!"

   Chen Zhuoyu clenched his fists.

   Uncle Li watched silently from a distance, he knew why Qingchen deliberately angered these time walkers.

   He also knows that the Knights will usher in a new era tonight when they are in the world!

   The countdown resets to zero.

   returns.

  …

  …

  The world goes dark and lights up again.

  While the Time Walkers were still confused, Chen Zhuoyu had already turned and walked towards the cliff.

  Hu Jingyi stopped her: "Where are you going?"

  Chen Zhuoyu calmly said: "Challenge the last cliff, won't you go?"

  Hu Jing was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

  There are nine cliffs in total, and now we have reached the last cliff, the green mountain cliff.

   But according to the challenge countdown, only 63 people completed the first eight cliff challenges within the specified time. Strictly speaking, only these 63 people are still able to complete the challenge.

   These 63 people do not include Hu Jingyi.

   A stupid student like Hu Jingyi never succeeded once.

   At this time, Chen Zhuoyu asked loudly again: "Aren't you coming?"

   "Aren't you coming!"

   "Are you willing?"

Chen Zhuoquan said stubbornly: "Do you want to be a loser in this era, do you still want to be protected? I was in the medical center behind the defense line, watching them die one after another, I wanted to rush to the defense line, but was caught by my family When people came down, I knew then that the most important thing I needed to do was get stronger!"

   Zhang Hubao hesitated: "I haven't completed the seventh and eighth cliffs, and I want to challenge the last cliff directly. But the last cliff can't bring a safety rope, and I will die..."

  Yes, the knight challenge cannot take safety measures, and everyone must face death.

  Chen Zhuoyu turned around and left, her words echoed in the night sky: "Then only when you have died in that disaster, can you gain a new life by climbing on the green hill. Remember what Xiaoqi said?"

  Hu Jing stared blankly at the back of the female scroll king.

  Zhang Hubao suddenly smiled and said, "What she said seems to make sense, but what did Brother Seventh say?"

  …

  …

   When Chen Zhuoyu came to the cliff of the green mountain, Qingchen was already waiting there, and she respectfully said, "Boss."

  Qingchen asked: "I don't know what life and death will be, have you thought about it?"

  Chen Zhuoyu nodded solemnly: "I think about it."

  It was foggy on Whale Island, and the whole green mountain and cliff seemed to be wrapped in clouds and mist, which looked extraordinarily majestic and mysterious.

   Qingchen handed a bag of magnesium powder and a dagger to Chen Zhuoqiu.

   The moment the girl took the magnesium powder and the dagger, Qingchen suddenly pinched her wrist, breathing, and asking her heart!

   However, Chen Zhuoyu's cheeks suddenly burst into flames, and his breath was like a white arrow!

   After just a minute, the girl opened her eyes and repeated what she just said: "I've thought about it."

   After she finished speaking, she walked towards the cliffs of the green hills without hesitation, and along the road that Qingchen once climbed, the blue clouds went straight up!

  Qingchen was silent, he just wanted to try it, but he didn't expect that some of these people would really be able to intervene.

   But for some reason, when he thought of Chen Zhuoqiu's behavior, he was not surprised at all.

   Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hubao came, without any concern.

  Liang Mengshun came here without asking any questions.

   Ye Han came, but he didn't care.

   Zhang Junli came, and he didn't care.

   Qingchen was not disappointed, he knew that this is the normal state, and there are many hardships in life that not everyone can face up to.

  Those unsteady hearts can only be cleaned up in the process of challenging life and death.

   Qingchen counted that there were 63 people who successfully challenged the eighth cliff, but there were 211 people who came to challenge the green mountain cliff.

   He admires these people very much, because there is no safety rope to challenge the cliffs of the green mountains. If you die, you will die, and there is no room to turn around. Those who dare to stand here are true warriors.

   At this time, Hu Jingyi watched his companions climb the cliff one by one, but he still stood there.

  Qingchen looked at him: "The road to nine deaths and one life, there is no safety rope, no protection measures, think clearly before starting."

  Hu Jingyi was silent for a moment: "I think about it."

  Qingchen handed him the magnesium powder and the dagger, and Hu Jingyi asked curiously, "What is the dagger for?"

   "You'll know when you go up," Qing Chen didn't explain, he casually put his fingers on Hu Jingyi's wrist.

  In an instant, Hu Jingyi closed his eyes in pain.

  Qingchen knew that it was the result of being unable to bear the questioning of his heart. All the suffering in life would turn into a sharp blade, cutting into Hu Jingyi's heart.

   He was about to let go, but at the moment when he was about to let go, Hu Jingyi grabbed it tightly with the other hand.

  Qingchen raised his head in amazement, only to see the other side endure the pain while pressing his palm in place.

   Qingchen said softly, "If you don't let go, you will die."

  Hu Jing said fiercely, "Then die."

   It was at this time that Hu Jingyi seemed to have returned to his childhood.

  …

  …

  In the classroom, someone was holding Hu Jingyi's math test paper and laughed: "Why did you get 21 points in math, hahaha."

   "Come on, let's take a look at Hu Jingyi's paper. You can see that the multiple-choice questions above are so simple, he didn't do it right."

  Hu Jingyi chased after his classmates: "Give me the papers! Give them back!"

   Pushing and shoving, Hu Jing was accidentally pushed down by his classmates, his brain hit the corner of the table, and the blood was not stopping.

   in a few hours.

In the teaching and research room, Hu Jingyi's mother stood beside him, and Hu Jingyi's head was wrapped in gauze.

Opposite    is the head teacher, unscrewing the thermos cup to take a sip of hot tea.

   But the head teacher said leisurely: "This time it was a fight between the students. I asked, and Hu Jingyi chased after the classmates first."

  Hu Jingyi's mother whispered, "But my family Jingyi said that his classmates stole his papers and laughed at him."

"Your family Hu Jingyi is really not a material for study. He is in fifth grade and has been dragging his feet in my class. It is almost a joke in the school. It is normal for everyone to laugh at him. If you want me to tell this parent, you want Don't take him to test his intelligence. If he can't, send him to some special schools. I'm doing this for Hu Jingyi's sake. He will be anxious when he sees that he is not as good as his classmates. together."

  Hu Jingyi's mother took the child on the way home, and as he walked, he said, "Mom, why don't I transfer schools, or the head teacher keeps calling you over, I really can't learn."

  His mother didn't say a word, just led him to continue walking in the sunset.

   Until the sun sinks into the ground and the crescent moon hangs on the starry sky.

   "Mom, transfer me to another school, I don't want to go to school anymore," Hu Jingyi said with tears.

   His mother finally turned around and looked at him silently: "Are you sure?"

  Hu Jing was stunned, he only felt that this question was like a knife hanging over his head, cold and cruel.

   His mother continued to ask: "I don't go to school anymore, I don't work hard anymore, just give up like this, and then spend my life in a daze, are you sure?"

   "Your elementary school is the last one."

   "Secondary school is the last one."

   "High school is still last."

   "You can't beat others when you play basketball, you don't understand when you play football, and you don't dare to retaliate when others scold you."

"Reviewing the senior year, you sleep for four and a half hours every day and swear that you will be admitted to a famous school. But you did math problems with a flashlight in the middle of the night, stood under the street lights at 4:30 in the morning and endorsed it. After a whole year, you only passed the test. Two pheasants."

   "You clearly realize that no matter how hard you try, you are an ordinary person."

   "You have failed the first eight cliffs, and every time you have failed, how dare you challenge the ninth green mountain cliff now?!"

   "Isn't it more comfortable to give up this kind of life? If you start over again, will you continue to work hard, or give up?"

   The young Hu Jingyi stood in the dark and gradually stopped crying.

   His face gradually calmed down, and he opened his eyes: "This is where life is going, if you can't die, just keep moving forward!"

  Qingchen said: "Congratulations. Starting now, it's a new life."

  Hu Jing stared at Qingchen blankly.

Qingchen gave him courage: "That level just now is called Asking Heart. Among the 211 challengers, only you and Chen Zhuoqiu passed. You are not a loser, at least you are not at this moment, go ahead, keep the current breathing rhythm, this Go straight to the blue sky, the sky is high and the sea is wide."

  Hu Jing put on magnesium powder and daggers, and climbed little by little to the top of the green hill.

   The so-called diligence can make up for one's clumsiness. Although Hu Jingyi is not the smartest person, he is definitely the most diligent person among all the challengers.

   He practiced rock climbing skills again and again. Whenever Chen Zhuoqiu rested, he had to practice for two more hours before resting.

   At this moment, that well-known skill finally came in handy.

  Hu Jing first saw the lettering on the cliff of the green mountain.

  62 meters, Zhou Pengliu.

  83 meters, Zhao Yongyi stayed.

   It was only at this moment that he realized that Qingchen had let them carry daggers so that they could also leave their names on this cliff.

   When he reached 99 meters, he suddenly heard a scream, but saw a challenger howling and falling off a cliff, falling into the white mist under them, and finally the 'dong' came to an abrupt end.

  Hu Jingyi was frightened.

  The challengers fell one after another, they fell from all the cliff challengers, and those screams hit the hearts of the rest.

  Hu Jing began to tremble. He was afraid of death, and no one could ignore death.

   Above this cliff, death falls from everyone and whizzes by!

   Give up?

   At this time, Hu Jing looked up and saw a hundred meters away.

   "The rest of your life is all about the road ahead."

   "Qingchen stay."

   This is what Qingchen said when he rebuilt this green hill and cliff, and what he wanted to say to all the challengers.

   Qingchen could have climbed four or five hundred meters in one go to leave his name, but because of Cao Wei's crossbow arrows, he stopped at 100 meters because of the strong wind in the mountains.

   However, it is here that he sees life and death, and chooses to move on despite the threat behind him.

  Hu Jingyi gradually stopped shaking, he carved his name at 99 meters, and then continued to climb!

  367 meters, Li Shutong stayed.

  599 meters, Ren Xiaosu stayed.

  Hu Jingyi didn't know how long he had climbed, and he forgot how many people fell from the cliff. He only felt that the long night was gradually passing, and the sky was gradually getting brighter.

When    looked up again, he saw the rock protruding from the cliff.

   At this moment, Hu Jingyi finally understood why the first eight cliffs had to be set up at the end... an almost impossible obstacle.

  Hu Jingyi lowered his head and looked down, as if there was an abyss behind him.

  It turns out that at the end of this road, there is really a threshold, jumping over life and falling to death.

   "Do you think he dares to jump out?" Zheng Yuandong asked while standing under the green hill.

"How can someone who can pass the knight's question fail to pass this hurdle?" Qingchen said with a smile: "The knight's life is not to defeat the world again and again, but to defeat himself again and again. Moreover, the knight's ancestors will give He guides."

   In the next second, Hu Jingyi saw that sentence just like Qing Chen did.

   "Life should be like a candle, burning from beginning to end, always bright!"

   Like Qing Chen did at the beginning, he jumped vigorously like all the knight predecessors, and firmly grasped the edge of the cliff.

   The person who never won once in his life finally won once.

  The rising sun on Whale Island ushered in a new era.
