191. The real shadow

As soon as he entered the dressing room, Qingchen found to his surprise that Li Shutong was happily eating cantaloupe and his clothes had been changed to white.

Before the two of them could speak, two female medical staff came forward to treat Qingchen's wounds, and the accompanying staff handed over a card: "This is your dividend for tonight's appearance, starting tonight

, as long as you appear in the match, the boxing gym’s betting pool and tickets will give you dividends.”

"How much is this?" Qingchen asked.

"1.12 million," the staff member said politely.

Li Shutong put down the cantaloupe and said nonchalantly: "It's quite high. Haitang Boxing Gym will win the Tigerweight Boxing Championship's dividend ratio as soon as it is released?"

The staff was even more polite: "You are really knowledgeable. This dividend ratio is indeed specially explained by Boss Tang. It is based on the level of the tiger weight boxing champion."

Boxers above the middleweight level can participate in dividends, but the money ordinary boxers receive is vastly different from the money that boxing champions at each level can receive.

This also encourages those ambitious boxers to find ways to compete for boxing championship titles at various levels every year.

"In addition," the staff member said, "we would also like to ask Xiaotu, when do you want to play the land cruiser class game?"

"I need to think about this again," Qingchen said.

"Okay, no problem," the staff member exited the locker room.

Qingchen's wounds were also treated, and Li Shutong smiled and said, "From now on, you won't be particularly short of money."

Qingchen looked at his master. He wanted to give him a gold bar before, but he didn't accept it.

In fact, although we were master and apprentice at that time, our relationship was not that close.

After traveling to the Forbidden Land No. 002 and experiencing so many things, Qingchen now accepted it with confidence.

After all, it was Qingchen who felt insecure earlier.

At that time, the two parties were master and apprentice, but now they have become like father and son. This is a completely different feeling, and the young man no longer needs to insist on his own self-esteem.

Moreover, in order to take care of his self-esteem, Li Shutong asked Qingchen to win back the first fortune in his life with his own hands.

This master has good intentions.

"Master, do you think I am suitable to participate in the land cruise class competition now?" Qingchen asked.

"I think you can play in the tiger weight class first," Li Shutong thought for a while and said: "And I think you need a process of adapting to fighting. Just like when you beat Huang Zixian tonight, he has already known that his weight has changed.

It cannot carry the same level of power, but you lack actual combat experience, so you know nothing about it."

In Li Shutong's view, his student has the innate ability of super memory, and he can quickly copy other people's skills and experience as long as he adapts to it for a period of time.

Therefore, accumulation and precipitation are a very important process.

Li Shutong thought for a while and said: "I suggest you come and watch the game every night. Whether you play or not, it is necessary for you to 'watch' the game."

Qingchen understood what his master meant, because his level promotion was more intense than others, reaching the peak of E-level in one step, so he needed to learn, observe, and think.

"Let's go home," Li Shutong said with a smile: "This time, master can also take a ride in the nanny car of Haitang Boxing Gym. It is considered that the father is worth the money."

After walking out of the dressing room, many spectators recognized Qingchen and greeted him cordially, and some had admiration in their eyes.

This is not surprising, after all, this is a Mu Qiang world.

However, Li Shutong's behavior is very strange. As long as someone recognizes Qingchen, he will smile happily and say to others: "Did you watch his game just now? This is my son, he is awesome..."

Qingchen looked at this scene and laughed silently, but when he laughed, he pulled the wound on his face, making his smile very ugly.

When the two left the venue, the proprietress Jiang Xiaotang, who was wearing a golden dress, was already waiting at the door.

She smiled brightly and said to Qingchen: "Congratulations, I am the owner of this Haitang boxing gym, Jiang Xiaotang."

"Thank you," Qingchen said and got into the nanny car.

However, after Qingchen got on the car, Li Shutong behind him suddenly looked at Jiang Xiaotang seriously, smiled and said, "Not bad, he is much more stable than when he was a child."

After speaking, Li Shutong also got into the nanny car, leaving Jiang Xiaotang standing at the door of the boxing gym in a daze.

The beautiful and young boss turned around and walked into the boxing gym. She swayed her waist and walked into her own office, quietly lighting a cigarette for herself.

The green smoke seemed to soothe her fluctuating emotions.

Jiang Xiaotang knew that under that unfamiliar face was an elder he was most familiar with. The appearance of the other person might have changed, but his voice remained the same.

And this elder also knew very well that she could recognize the other party's voice.





Countdown to 48:00:00.

Returning to the 132nd floor of Luoshen Building, Qingchen endured the pain of the wound and sat on the sofa with a grin on his face: "Master, how long will it take for my injury to heal?"

"You were seriously injured this time. Even if the boxing gym gave you the best medicine, it would take a week," Li Shutong estimated.

"It seems that I have to return to the outside world with injuries," Qingchen sighed.

Li Shutong asked with a smile: "By the way, you haven't said what flaw you have caught in Yangyang?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "I currently guess that she chose my class to observe Liu Dezhu up close."

"Liu Dezhu?" Li Shutong asked.

"Well, he is your student in the outside world. Of course, many people don't believe it now," Qingchen said: "But one thing everyone is sure of is that he is indeed in Prison No. 18, and he is indeed

Got in touch with you."

"Extraordinary beings who have awakened the force field don't actually need to hug their thighs like other people," Li Shutong said.

"So, I think she actually came to Prison No. 18," Qingchen said: "At first she wanted to observe Liu Dezhu, but then she found that I might be more valuable and closer to you, so she

The target has shifted to me."

"Well, it makes sense," Li Shutong said.

"Master, what forces are staring at Prison No. 18 now? Is it just for Ace-005?"

Li Shutong smiled: "Of course not, even Guo Huchan didn't come here for ace-005."

"What's that for?" Qingchen wondered.

"It's for ace-002," Li Shutong said.

Qingchen suddenly realized that this was the case.

He had asked his master before if he had ever seen an S-class forbidden object, and the other person's answer was: Maybe he will see it soon.

Therefore, this S-class forbidden object has always been contained in Prison No. 18, and it is very important.

"Do they know what ace-002 is?" Qingchen asked.

"I don't know," Li Shutong shook his head: "In fact, the appearance of this forbidden object is very strange, because it was extracted from an ordinary person."

"S-level forbidden substances are found in ordinary people," Qingchen was surprised: "This does not comply with the rules."

"Well, everyone thinks it is inconsistent," Li Shutong said: "But someone told me that that ordinary person could actually become an S-level extraordinary person, but that ordinary person was so wise that he always felt that his intelligence was already over.

Enough to traverse this world, there is no need to awaken to become a transcendent."

So he didn't become an extraordinary person.

Li Shutong looked at Qingchen and said: "According to the blood relationship in the other world, this ordinary person is still your ancestor. It was difficult for Qing's shadow to end well at first. When he was a shadow, he was forced to turn over the table and celebrated overnight.

After the bloody incident, the country changed hands. After the death of many extraordinary people, people would take a look at their graveyards from time to time to see if any forbidden objects were found. Only this one was forgotten, because he was not an extraordinary person at all.

"

When Li Shutong introduced the taboo substance ACE-002, he explained the cause in detail.

But he did not mention the function, containment conditions, or origin of this S-class forbidden object.

"Master, are you going to rob the tomb?" Qingchen said hesitantly.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Shutong said, dumbfounded, "A knight would not do such an unscrupulous thing."

Qingchen thought for a while: "Then now I know why so many forces are targeting Prison No. 18. What forces are there now?"

"Spade, Forbidden Inquisition, Kashima," Li Shutong glanced at Qingchen.

Qingchen analyzed: "Kashima rules it out first, Yangyang will not do anything for Kashima."

"Why?" Li Shutong asked.

"Because the Overworld Chinese look down on those people in Kashima," Qingchen said firmly, "If the Overworld Chinese work for Kashima, they are no different from traitors."

"Then she won't be a member of the Forbidden Tribunal," Li Shutong said with a smile: "The Forbidden Tribunal is the natural enemy of extraordinary people. No extraordinary person is willing to join and then be institutionalized in his later years."

"Then only spades are left," Qingchen said.

When all possibilities are eliminated, the only option left is the answer.

Yangyang has an eclectic character. She can visit Qingchen's house late at night and speak freely, so in the eyes of the outside world, she and Qingchen have a close relationship.

But what is the reality? The two of them are well aware of each other's traps, and they are still guarding each other, testing each other, and taking advantage of each other.

Qingchen needs her gravity chamber, and she needs Qingchen’s identity and background in the outside world.

Li Shutong smiled and asked: "Do you think she wants to get forbidden items from me through you?"

Qingchen shook his head: "Such a smart girl must know that no matter how hard she tries and how close she is to me, you will never give up Ace-002, so her goal is not to seize the forbidden object."

At this time, Qingchen fell into deep thought: "I'm afraid that when she came through time travel, she was already burdened with the task of Spades. But Yangyang is a time traveler, so naturally she will not have any sense of belonging to the organization where the original owner belongs, so she must

I also don’t want to risk my life on missions with Guo Huchan.”

Qingchen continued: "But the organization is the power behind her. Yangyang is so smart that she will not sit back and watch her organization suffer heavy losses, so she may want to preserve the power of Guo Huchan and the organization."

Li Shutong said with a smile: "I think that bald Guo Huchan is actually a pretty good person. If this little girl pleads for him, I can spare his life."

"Master, there should be some clues," Qingchen said.

He closed his eyes and carefully searched through all the memories.

The encounter in the outside world, the reunion in the inner world, the classroom in the early morning, the light rail train in the afternoon.

Everything was flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Qingchen suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Master, the day of the student parade on Sunday should be the day they plan to take action. The end point of the student parade is the Upper Third District, and then the entire city's police force and the garrison of the Federal Army will gather.

There, no one will pay attention to Prison No. 18. This is the purpose of their student demonstration."

Li Shutong looked at the student's serious expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been waiting for a long time. When that day comes, we will give this little girl a surprise."

Qingchen said in his heart that it might not be a surprise, but a shock.

"By the way, Master, if I go into the boxing ring and become a boxer, my appearance will definitely be remembered by many people. Does this really matter?" Qingchen asked.

"You are no longer the same person as 'Qing Clan Qingchen'," Li Shutong said: "It is more troublesome to modify your future traces, but it is not difficult for Yi to modify Qing Clan Qingchen's past trajectory.

.”

As he said this, Li Shutong took out his cell phone and pulled out a photo. The person on it was strikingly similar to Qingchen at most.

"If someone checks the file of Qing Chen of the Qing family, they will find that this person's appearance has nothing to do with you," Li Shutong said: "You are now the son of a wealthy businessman. Although your surname is Qing, you have nothing to do with the Qing family."

"But, many people have seen me," Qingchen said.

"I have confirmed that there are only a few people who have seen your appearance, know your true identity, and can still remember you. Although others have seen you earlier, their memories have long been blurred.

When I see this photo, I don’t think much about it. I just think that you in the photo are disabled.” Li Shutong said: “As for those who still remember you, there is no need to worry about the distance between Jindai Kongyin and Li Yinuo.

You don’t have to worry about me, only Xiao Yiyi in Qincheng has guessed my identity, the rest are Qingyan and the prisoners in Prison No. 18."

"Yeah," Qingchen thought for a moment, and it should be right.

"Qingyan died yesterday," Li Shutong said expressionlessly: "The prisoners in Prison No. 18 don't have to worry too much, they will soon be unable to speak."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment. According to the master's cruelty, the implication was that the prisoners...

He knew about killing people to silence them, but he never thought that Master would kill so many people to silence them.

wrong.

Qingchen suddenly turned to look at Li Shutong: "Master, you are...actually completing the containment conditions of ace-002, right?"

Li Shutong smiled and said nothing.

"If, as you said, I have nothing to do with 'Qing Clan Qingchen' anymore, then how can I still participate in the Shadow War? I won't be able to receive subsequent tasks," Qingchen was puzzled.

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to take the mission," Li Shutong said: "The Shadow War has always had two options, but one way is so cruel that many people have forgotten it."

"What way?"

"Kill the other candidates and only yourself will remain."

This is the cruelest way, and also the simplest and crudest.

When it comes to this, Li Shutong is more like the contemporary knight leader who has been in power for a long time.

This is the Li Shutong that Qingchen saw when he just traveled to Prison No. 18.

"But, if I look different from 'Qing Clan Qingchen', then even if I kill all the other candidates, I won't be recognized by the Qing Clan. After all, they are no longer from the Qing Clan, so how can I be a shadow?"

?" Qingchen was even more confused.

"Don't worry, there is someone who knows your true face, but I can't tell you who it is yet," Li Shutong said with a smile: "Remember, the person who is forgotten by everyone is the real shadow."
