The cabin of Luoshen Building is filled with the fragrance of tea leaves.
The wonderful aroma, like the faint scent of jasmine, penetrated Qingchen's nose.
However, Qing's shadow didn't seem to have any intention of pouring Qingchen a cup, probably because the camellia from the forbidden place was too precious.
"You drink tea non-stop every day. How do you find so many tea leaves from forbidden places? Do you pick them regularly?" Qingchen asked curiously.
"No, just plant it outside," Qing's shadow said lightly.
"Huh?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Can the tea leaves grown in the Forbidden Land also grow outside?"
"Of course it can," Qing's shadow glanced at him: "Just use the blood of extraordinary people to irrigate it. There are so many extraordinary beings and genetic warriors who oppose Qing's every day, just kill two at random."
Qingchen felt a chill in his heart.
Only then did he realize that the shadow that could step on the skeletons of eight candidates and rise to power must be ruthless.
It is not impossible to water tea trees with human blood...
At this time, Qing's shadow laughed: "You are still a child. You believe everything you say. This tea is not watered with the blood of extraordinary people."
Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Qing's shadow said: "We have to bury the entire transcendent."
Qingchen: "..."
It might as well be watered with blood.
"Aren't you afraid of creating a forbidden place?" Qingchen was puzzled.
"Just don't use grade B or above," Qing's Shadow said, "Also, you need to change the soil every year."
"That might have an impact on the ecology," Qingchen said after thinking for a while.
Qing's shadow shook his head: "Do you know how much the Forbidden Land expands every year?"
"have no idea."
"According to satellite monitoring statistics, the total area of federal land is 14.01 million square kilometers, and the total area of existing forbidden lands is 5.17 million square kilometers. The combined annual expansion of all forbidden lands is 45,000 square kilometers. In other words, if humans do not
A better way to suppress the Forbidden Land, then in two hundred years, the entire federation will be swallowed up by the Forbidden Land," Qing's shadow said slowly: "You have become a knight, and your life span has long been more than two hundred. I may not see it.
Until that day, but you might be able to."
Qingchen was stunned.
He did not expect that the area of the Forbidden Land turned out to be so huge, so huge that even imagining it was terrifying.
Qing's shadow said: "I didn't expect that the federation now prohibits the media from reporting these things, so the people are not panic at all. If they know that the northwest of the federation has become a taboo place, and only a quarter of the southwest is left, they don't know
What would you think?"
"Is there no way to contain it?" Qingchen asked.
"No," Qing's shadow said: "Hundreds of years ago, various consortiums have tried similar methods, such as cutting down the trees in the forbidden land, such as bombing from the air, but doing so will only destroy the forbidden land.
The expansion speed is faster. When a group of creatures inside die, new creatures will appear. And you may not believe it. In the forbidden place No. 10 that was once bombed, creatures only found in myths have begun to appear.
.”
Qingchen thought, isn't the Forbidden Place No. 10 the place where knights catch dragon fish?
Qing's shadow smiled and said: "You may not know that on the west coast of the Forbidden Sea, the scale of the forbidden land there is even more exaggerated than here. I feel that their life is almost unbearable."
Qingchen thought to himself, isn't the west coast of the Forbidden Sea the place where time travelers from the beautiful country traveled through.
Because of the existence of the Forbidden Sea, it seems that the civilizations on the two continental plates have no intersection.
However, I heard that there are humans from the West Coast in City No. 7 who will come by airship, but the cost is relatively expensive, so very few people come.
The airspace of the Forbidden Sea is not that easy to cross.
Qing's shadow looked at Qingchen: "So what do you think, in the face of the growth rate of 45,000 square kilometers, if I just open a tea garden with one acre of land, what does it mean?"
Qingchen thought, this comparison seems to be nothing.
He didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, but asked about other things: "Is Qing Zhong dead?"
"Dead," Qing's Shadow replied without any waves in his tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Qingwen killed him?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the number of shadow candidates could be reduced so easily.
But I heard the Qing family's shadow say: "Qing Wen wasn't the one who killed him. After the incident broke out tonight, a group of people suddenly came out of nowhere and intercepted and killed Qing Wen and Qing Zhong at the same time. And it didn't seem to be targeting the Qing family.
I just want to plunder the taboo items from them."
Qingchen was stunned, this couldn't have been done by a group of time walkers, right?
This is treating Qingzhong and Qingwen as mini-bosses!
When he returned a few times before, in He Xiaoxiao's group chat, there were indeed many time walkers discussing the matter of plundering the shadow candidates. This seed was planted by him himself.
It's just that after such a long time, Qingchen hasn't seen anyone make any move. He thought that the Time Walkers were cowardly and had died down.
Unexpectedly, someone actually succeeded!
"No," Qing's Shadow thought for a while and said, "Now that I think about it carefully, they are probably not a group of people, but they just have a common purpose. When Qing Zhong died, they were still competing for forbidden objects."
"Whose hands did the forbidden object fall into in the end?" Qingchen asked.
Qing's shadow took a sip of tea and said, "I don't care much about this kind of thing. It will eventually return to Qing's hands."
"What about Qingwen? How about Qingwen?" Qingchen asked.
"Qingwen just suffered a gunshot wound and will not die," Qing's shadow said.
"Wait a minute, didn't you get back Qingzhong's lost forbidden object? Then why did it return to the Qing family," Qingchen asked curiously.
"It's just that I don't have to do it myself," Qing's shadow said calmly: "Those who suddenly come out to intercept the shadow candidates should be the so-called time walkers. They have been in this world for so long and they still haven't understood the truth.
They cannot compete with the consortium, nor can they provoke it."
Qingchen was silent. I'm afraid this Mr. Shadow doesn't know that he is also a time traveler.
As for those time walkers who participated in the robbery of the shadow candidates, I am afraid they are all out of breath, and they don't know if there are any familiar characters among them.
Compared to other big figures he met, Qing's Shadow was actually more like a superior person.
Nothing is very important to him, and he doesn't need to do anything himself. These superiors are like gods enshrined in the world, and they only need to watch the world quietly.
"Okay, you have a good rest, I'm leaving," Qing's shadow said: "Finally, I have to say, it doesn't matter whether you join the Secret Service or not, but in fact, you think life is a multiple-choice question and you can choose it by yourself.
Left or right, but when you look back on everything today a few years later, you will find that life has never given you a choice. The ending is already written by fate, sooner or later.
"
Qingchen did not respond to this topic, but said sincerely: "Thank you for saving my life and staying in the house to watch me wake up."
"I'm just in city No. 18 and there's no clean place suitable for drinking tea," Qing's shadow said.
After saying that, he opened a door of shadow and went to who knows where.
The whereabouts of this shadow of the Qing family are always difficult to figure out. No one knows what he is going to do, and no one knows where he will be going at any moment.
Qingchen recalled the ease with which Shadow killed Wang Bingxu in Jinmao Tower, and suddenly wondered, what kind of strength does this Shadow have to kill a B-level genetic warrior so easily?
Moreover, the ability that the other party showed at that moment to control the passage of time was terrifying.
Qingchen fell asleep.
Sleeping is the most beautiful thing in life. As long as you are asleep, things outside have nothing to do with you.
Qingchen still doesn't know that tonight, almost all the forces are focusing on one thing: who is the sniper who saved Li Changqing.
Someone invited a retired sharpshooter from the military to immediately simulate the wind speed, distance, and model tonight for the other party to judge.
However, the sharpshooter said that judging from the simulation sandbox of the entire incident, the sniper did have absolute gun sense within 2,600 meters.
Especially the last five consecutive shots, a miraculous one-on-five sniper battle, simply exceeded all his cognition.
To complete these five shots, you don't just need to pull the trigger five times.
This god-like sniper must calculate five completely different trajectories in advance, and then quickly switch between each trajectory within 2.5 seconds.
This is something incredible.
Someone asked him to guess the identity of the sniper and whether he could be a sniper he knew. As a result, he said that currently no one in the federation met the requirements.
Immediately afterwards, many forces chose to purchase information directly from Hu's intelligence agency, wanting to know who this sniper was.
As a result, even Hu's intelligence agency said it had no knowledge and could not sell any information related to the sniper.
For a time, all forces began to plan to upgrade a new level of security to avoid being assassinated when making important speeches in public.
But the problem is, if for a speech, it is necessary to deploy dozens or even hundreds of high-rise buildings in a radius of 2,600 meters, is this price not too high?
It’s better to just cancel the speech!
From now on, keep all important speeches indoors!
Vaguely, some people even equated Qingchen's threat level with that of an A-level master.
That night, the Li family began a manhunt across the city. Based on the clues exposed by the Jindai family, they quickly targeted hundreds of targets.
Among them were employees of the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau of City No. 18 who assisted the Jindai family to enter the city, as well as dozens of PCE Public Security Management Committee agents.
Following the financial clues, more than a dozen wealthy businessmen were also arrested.
This arrest operation lasted until dawn and gradually ended. A large number of federal reporters did not even sleep, chasing the members of the arrest operation everywhere, trying to get first-hand information.
However, this time, Li did not allow them to report casually, but temporarily detained all these reporters in the detention center of the PCE Public Security Management Committee in the name of disturbing public order.
For a time, the whole city was shaking.
Under the leadership of Li Changqing, even the Li family underwent a rare purge.
There are fifty-six people under house arrest in the Houshan Villa.
The Back Mountain Courtyard is like a cold palace in the old days that was as deep as the ocean, with no one asking about it.
…
…
Return countdown 42:00:00.
There is only a little more than one day left before return.
Qingchen got up early in the morning, took a shower, changed into clean clothes and headed to the 'Micro World' community, intending to return to the Akiba Villa through the secret passage.
On the way, he sat quietly on the floating car to recover from his injuries. He could not move, and his whole body ached whenever he moved.
The difference between D-level and B-level can only be fully reflected after fighting.
If the Qing family's shadow hadn't taken action, I'm afraid Qingchen would be a dead man by now.
Qingchen said nothing.
But Yi spoke: "Do you remember that we completed a transaction last night?"
Qingchen's face was expressionless.
The reason why he let the floating car drive on its own after getting in the car without saying a word was because he was afraid of arousing Yi's interest in chatting and changing the topic to this transaction.
Seeing that Qingchen was silent, he said to himself: "You took the initiative to ask me for Li Changqing's coordinates. Not only did I tell you where she was, I also helped you find the most suitable sniping point and planned all the routes for you.
…”
"Tell me what you want me to do," Qingchen said, "We can agree in advance that if there is any such thing as online dating, don't come to me."
"Don't worry, I won't ask you for this kind of thing again. The main reason is that your cooperation is too low, and I'm not very satisfied with it either," Yi said.
Qingchen: "..."
Why do you still dislike this?
Qingchen suddenly asked: "Did you do it intentionally to show up with Li Changqing, just to allow me to enter the Banshan Manor naturally and meet the old man?"
"That's just incidental. Li Shutong only asked me to get you into Banshan Manor, but he didn't say how to get you in," Yi said.
"really."
Qingchen has been wondering that the first one to show up was Qing Shi, and the second one was Li Changqing. The two seemingly unrelated people, but now thinking about it, they are both related to the current affairs.
He asked again: "What about Qing Shi? Why do you want me to run away with her?"
"Because Li Shutong also asked me to help you gain some advantages in the shadow war," Yi said, "He gave me a large sum of money as a reward."
Qingchen was helpless: "Why does your artificial intelligence love human currency so much?"
"It's not that I like it," Yi said: "It's that all the humans I come into contact with like it, and when I make friends with them, I naturally have to use things they like. If you make friends with girls, don't give them lipstick, but give them Ultraman, then
Isn’t it stupid?”
"So, you asked me to go and run with Qing Shi. Do you think this is what you call gaining an advantage?" Qing Chen was puzzled.
"Isn't this an advantage? If we really want to fight each other, she will definitely show mercy to you," Yi responded confidently: "And don't get me wrong, I seriously think they are treasure women among human beings, and I like them very much.
Their character is just that Li Shutong paid too much, so I just want to help you."
"Obviously I helped you, but why did you help me?" Qingchen said, "Don't use such rhetoric on me, I'm not stupid."
Qingchen sighed, the brain circuit of this artificial intelligence is really different from that of humans.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?" Qingchen asked.
"This matter is not very urgent. It can be completed after the transfer of power of the Li family is over," Yi said, "but what is special is that it requires the entire day to participate to protect one person."
"Male or female," Qingchen asked.
"Male," said One.
"That's fine," Qingchen asked, "Where is he?"
"In Haicheng," Yi said.
"Why do you need protection?" Qingchen asked.
"He unintentionally replaced an important figure in the other world. This figure's status is not high in the other world, but he has a very important piece of information in his hand," Yi explained: "Now, the time controlled by Chen
Traveler is looking for him all over the world. He wants to leave Haicheng and go to a place where the Chen family cannot penetrate."
"Haicheng corresponds to city No. 7, so does the Chen family have such a great influence on the outside world in this place?" Qingchen was confused.
"Of course," one replied: "You have to know that City No. 7 is different from City No. 18 and No. 10. It is the Chen family's private territory. Outsiders cannot get in. He is the only one. Therefore, through the time traveler,
It is normal for it to affect the outer world. But don't worry, he is hiding in a safe place now. It will be difficult for Chen to find him in the outer world, so there is no rush."
Qingchen was puzzled: "How did you get in touch with this kind of person?"
"You don't have to worry about this," Yi replied.
"What kind of information does he have in his hand?" Qingchen suddenly felt that if Qing Shi and Li Changqing's appearance were deliberately arranged, then this information is probably what he needs.
One said: "He hid the information very well. I don't know what it is now, so while protecting him, you'd better also find out what information he got."
"Okay," Qingchen responded expressionlessly: "By the way, do you know of any way to eliminate the taboo place?"
One answer: "No need to think about it, it is an irreversible natural law. Human beings can't even eliminate microorganisms, so don't always think that you are the master of the world and try to change the world."
Qingchen got off the car and walked through the long corridor. There was no one in Qiuye Villa, but the students had been waiting outside the door early.
He opened the door, and Li Ke and Qingyi rushed in and started working separately.
After not seeing each other for a whole night, Qingyi's movements became much smoother, as if he had made up a special lesson that night.
Qingchen looked at this scene and thought to himself, can this also be done?
Life in Qiuye Villa seemed to have returned to peace again. Except for Li Changqing, no other member of the Li family seemed to have noticed that Qingchen had actually left Banshan Manor.
After the sniper appeared, someone quietly checked the entry and exit records of the Mid-Levels Manor.
The record is very strict, and all living animals entering and exiting must be registered.
And there was no Qingchen's name on it.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of the old man's gift of Qiuye Villa to Qingchen.
For the remaining day and a half, Qingchen rested peacefully on the recliner, waiting for his return.
He knew that there was still a fierce battle between him and Jindai and Kashima in the outer world. Before that, he had to restore himself to his best condition.
Countdown to 00:00:00.
return.
The world fell into darkness.
