It was late at night, and all the lights in the houses were out.
Only dim street lights and narrow and deep paths remained.
Zheng Yuandong blocked one person's way.
The middle-aged man opposite asked: "Kunlun Zheng Yuandong? It's not easy to find me, isn't it?"
Zheng Yuandong slowly walked towards the other party, and said curiously as he walked: "I have investigated you. A month ago, you were just a maintenance worker in the surface world. A month later, you began to work wholeheartedly for the Gods. So, you
Or yourself?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "Does it matter who I am?"
"Let me guess," Zheng Yuandong said: "Someone once said that the head of the Shendai family has always been the same person. It was him six hundred years ago and he is still him today. I spent a month investigating this matter and finally found it.
I have read the notes written by the head of the Kamida family six hundred years ago, and the handwriting is indeed the same as today. Logically speaking, even practitioners in the entire world should not have such a long lifespan. I think the Kamida family has actually mastered it.
The neuron connection technology between people can even be used to rewrite the brain, right?"
The so-called neuron connection technology first appeared in Qingshi and is used to control nanorobots.
After being manipulated, those little guys can swim around the blood vessels to remove blood clots, non-invasively and painlessly.
Later, various consortiums made breakthroughs in neuron connection technology, and this technology was widely used in various fields, such as controlling mechanical dogs and drones.
For example, connecting mechanical limbs.
Later, some people tried to achieve the idea of mechanical immortality by connecting to neuron technology and uploading their consciousness to the Internet in reverse.
However, this technology failed because everyone found that no matter how it was uploaded, consciousness would be immediately annihilated as soon as it appeared on the Internet.
Some people say that it is because the data flow on the Internet is so huge that it will quickly assimilate the consciousness uploaded by humans.
Some people say it is because the technology is not mature enough.
But no one has found the reason yet.
Only a few people know that it is Yi’s brother who is hunting down all human ideologies on the Internet.
Later, when uploading consciousness didn't work, someone conducted a more cruel experiment: after clearing one person's consciousness, it was overwritten with another person's consciousness through neuron connection technology.
From that moment on, the body becomes a temporary shell, while the consciousness will last forever.
This is a reverse time travel in disguise. Although people from the other world cannot come here, their consciousness can overwrite the time walkers and make themselves time walkers.
This was also the method Li Yunshou suggested to the old man, but the old man himself felt that life would be meaningless if it was too long, so he refused.
The old man believes that this is the dirtiest aspect of the development of human technological civilization to this day.
The middle-aged man opposite didn't speak.
Zheng Yuandong said calmly: "Let me guess again. Neuron connection technology covers other people's consciousness. It may have higher requirements for the 'covered person'. We all know that the brain is the most fragile organ of the human body, so it needs to be strong.
The skull is used for protection. In this world, many hackers use their own brains as servers to carry out protocol intrusions. Often, their brains will shrink and become a vegetative state in their thirties and forties."
Zheng Yuandong continued to speculate: "Those hackers who have today and no tomorrow may not care about brain atrophy, but the big guys in the consortium must care about it, and the brains of ordinary people may only be able to carry one coverage, but they will not be able to carry out the next connection."
.So, only B-level and above people can become qualified carriers, right? I checked a lot of information about the Jindai family and found that every once in a while, B-level masters would suddenly disappear, and then reappear after a year.
.”
The middle-aged man laughed: "You can discover so many secrets that no one has discovered. Since you are so interested in the Jindai family, why not join us?"
Zheng Yuandong shook his head: "The mountains and rivers are in a foreign land, and we are irreconcilable."
"The only way is for you to keep this secret forever," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
The next moment, his pupils turned silver.
Zheng Yuandong only felt that everything around him had become a ghost.
It was as if a person with myopia and astigmatism of 300 degrees suddenly took off his glasses.
The dim lights on the roadside turned into circles of halo, making it difficult for people to see the true appearance of the world.
However, Zheng Yuandong remained calm. He took out the long knife in his hand and threw the scabbard aside.
Then he closed his eyes.
The middle-aged man asked curiously: "Don't you even bring a firearm? Although the firearms between you and me are useless in battle, they are still better than such a long knife."
Zheng Yuandong replied: "Everyone is asleep, so it is easy to wake up many people and disturb the people."
"In a battle between masters, you are actually worried about the sound of gunshots waking up the residents?" The middle-aged man was a little stunned: "A cold weapon from the outside world will get stuck on the muscles of a B-level strongman, or even cut twice more.
It can also curl blades. Isn't it a bit childish for you to fight me with something like this?"
"That's enough," Zheng Yuandong said.
The next moment, the middle-aged man's legs suddenly burst out with great force, and he jumped from a distance of more than ten meters.
However, Zheng Yuandong, who had his eyes closed, seemed to see everything and slashed forward with his sword.
The two sides were separated at the first touch. This time Zheng Yuandong took the initiative to greet him. The long knife in his hand was like an elegant bird, extremely agile.
There was a tearing sound, and before the middle-aged man could react, the blade actually slashed along the gap between the muscles of his arm.
There was another tearing sound, and the middle-aged man's leg also felt pain at the same time. The blade once again scratched the diaphragm between the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles of his thigh.
In Zheng Yuandong's hand, this long knife was as precise as a surgical scalpel, separating two muscles that should have been adhered together.
The middle-aged man's arms and thighs were bleeding profusely. He turned around and punched Zheng Yuandong.
But Zheng Yuandong's knife seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, and once again cut open the septum between the middle-aged man's biceps and triceps.
One knife after another, just like a butcher cutting an ox, as if he was trying to dismember the middle-aged man.
Swordsmanship is art.
Now the middle-aged man was a little scared. He didn't expect that he would meet a master of this level in the outer world. It had nothing to do with level, it was a difference in skill.
Zheng Yuandong still had time to ask while waving his sword: "It's not easy for the Gods to find candidates for reverse time travel like you. First, a time traveler needs to replace a B-level awakened person or practitioner, and then the neuron can be carried out."
Reconnection surgery. If they kill you, they will be very distressed."
…
…
The intersection of the north of Wangcheng Avenue and National Highway 103.
The B-level master of the Kashima family seemed unwilling to abandon the oil tanker parked on the roadside. Even if members of Kyushu were besieging him, even if he needed to beware of snipers, and even if he knew that the masters of Kyushu would arrive immediately.
But they were still just fighting, with no intention of escaping.
As he took action, he ducked past a Kyushu member and easily grabbed the Kyushu member's neck with one hand, holding the Kyushu member in front of him as a shield.
The short middle-aged man said coldly: "You want to shoot and kill people without asking why? Kyushu is acting too tyrannically."
A Kyushu member did not answer. This battle has been a life-and-death situation from the beginning. The other party's intention in saying this was not to blame Kyushu, but to delay time.
In the distance, the sound of a cane tapping on the ground came. He Jinqiu got off the car and walked over, wearing a neat and elegant gray suit: "Are you waiting for me?"
The next second, a sapphire sword arrow flew out from He Jinqiu's sleeve, leaving a white gas-like straight line in the air. With just a snap of his fingers, it traveled hundreds of meters and penetrated a window.
A scream came from the window.
The green jade sword arrow did not stop, and soon flew to the other side, killing another person.
He Jinqiu asked with a smile: "Has anyone ever told you not to aim at people with a sniper rifle at will? You will die."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that He Jinqiu would kill the two snipers they had ambushed in the residential building.
induction!
This is a sensing ability that only A-levels can have!
If someone is aiming within 1000 meters, it will be sensed immediately!
In the other world, someone once looked at a certain A-level master from far away with malicious eyes, and was picked out from the crowd by that A-level master.
This ability is already close to that of a god.
Someone once said that if someone reaches the S-level demigod realm, someone who pronounces his name will be affected by the demigod even if they are thousands of miles apart.
However, this statement has not been confirmed.
However, the middle-aged man no longer cared about thinking about these things. He was only shocked by...
There are actually A-level practitioners among the world time practitioners!
And the most important thing is that He Jinqiu, the permanent director of Hu's intelligence agency, not only obtained the Hu's orthodox training method, but also developed a sword!
You must know that even people like Li Changqing have only just begun to master swordsmanship, and are far from the state of sending and receiving from the heart.
He Jinqiu tapped the ground with his staff, and then said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised. How can you be so embarrassed to take charge of Kyushu without a little bit of strength? Moreover, I have to let you know that the Time Walker is not that easy to control."
In fact, some time ago, He Jinqiu led a group of Kyushu members across the entire Middle East. They did a lot of dirty things and robbed time travelers from the beautiful country not once or twice, otherwise Kyushu would not be so rich.
So far, few people outside the country can do anything about him, so they can only endure it for the time being.
However, at this moment, the middle-aged man who was still stalling for time turned around and ran away without hesitation at all.
Kashima originally planned to kill two birds with one stone by luring He Jinqiu and Bai Zhou's boss out to kill them all, but he didn't expect to lure out a father!
This may be the only A-level master in the world so far!
He Jinqiu said with a smile: "Isn't it a little late to leave now?"
As he spoke, the sapphire sword drew a clear white line in the black night and flew into the sky!
However, something surprising happened to everyone.
The scene behind the middle-aged man suddenly folded, as if someone had kneaded the world and space together out of thin air.
The sapphire sword that originally flew straight towards the middle-aged man's back disappeared after passing through this space. Only two dings were heard, as if the sapphire sword had been nailed into something hard.
He Jinqiu frowned: "Space ability? No, it's an illusion."
He walked in the direction where the middle-aged man fled, but saw that the twisted space gradually dispersed, and his sword penetrated the bus stop sign beside the road and was nailed to the ground.
The flight path of the sapphire sword arrow had not been distorted, and the scene they just saw was just an illusion.
"It turns out I hid a helper. It's interesting. He can actually do magic tricks." He Jinqiu looked towards the intersection. The middle-aged man driving the oil tanker was nowhere to be seen.
Of course, the other party may not have run far away, but this illusion prevents them from seeing the other party's figure.
He Jinqiu carefully observed his surroundings, and he keenly discovered that the light and shadow were actually changing slightly and unrealistically, which was somewhat different from reality, but it was difficult to distinguish.
He knew that the middle-aged man was probably still somewhere within five hundred meters of him, moving slowly, and even the sound of his footsteps disappeared.
Otherwise, with his A-level perception ability, he would be able to identify the opponent just by listening to his footsteps.
"It seems like there's really nothing we can do with this kind of illusion," He Jinqiu said calmly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of sniper gunfire rang out in the suddenly quiet night.
He Jinqiu suddenly looked back and saw that the gunshot seemed to be coming from 700 meters behind him, very close!
This is not the sniper of Kamidai, Kashima. The opponent is very cautious and never even looks at him.
etc!
He Jinqiu suddenly looked towards the direction where the middle-aged man was escaping, and saw a radiating blood appearing out of thin air under the empty streetlight.
"Boss in the daytime," He Jinqiu was stunned.
He thought that the other party really didn't come tonight, after all, he didn't see the other party shoot all night.
Unexpectedly, the other party came, but he was more patient.
The illusion dissipated, and the person who maintained the illusion immediately fled away when he saw that his companion was dead.
The middle-aged man's body lay quietly on the ground, with a huge blood hole behind him, and his entire back and chest were pierced by sniper rifles!
A shooting distance of 900 meters is nothing to the boss's reputation during the day.
But He Jinqiu didn't understand how the boss in the daytime could see through the illusion. He, an A-level man, couldn't do anything for a while, but the mysterious sniper found the target 900 meters away.
This is so amazing, He Jinqiu frowned and thought.
What he didn't know was that although the awakened person who used illusions was powerful, the scene he forged was different from reality after all.
When the illusion was formed, the two images of the long street before the illusion and the long street after the illusion quickly overlapped in Qingchen's mind, as if they were trying to find fault with each other. He could recognize the difference at a glance.
.
Illusion requires the use of imagination to construct a world that appears to be real, so that the illusion appears to be real.
But for Qingchen, what is fake is fake.
In the headset, Tang Keke asked: "Boss, can you roughly confirm the shooting location of the other party? Should we go after him now?"
He Jinqiu thought for a while: "I originally wanted to seduce him to target me. Maybe I could find him immediately, but this person is too patient and forbearing. He didn't even look at me. There's no need to look for him.
You can't find him, he must have thought of an escape route before shooting, and he may have run far away now."
At this moment, He Jinqiu only felt that the daytime boss was like a lone wolf, and his calmness when hunting was terrifying to think about.
The opponent's current real strength may still be average, and you have to wait for the target to stop moving before using a sniper to kill Class B.
But this kind of person will grow up sooner or later. Who knows what the other person will be like when he grows up?
"Boss, what should we do now?" Tang Keke asked.
"Go and drive the tank truck to a remote place," He Jinqiu's face turned cold: "I can feel that there are seven people inside, who should be the replacements we are looking for. The other party actually confirmed something for us, the replacement
The visitor should enter the main urban area before a countdown will appear on his arm. Otherwise, there is no need for the other party to drive the tank truck here. If there is a reverse crossing plan in the future, we will know how to deal with it... In the short term, they should not
I can’t do this kind of thing again.”
Tang Keke said worriedly: "They have entered the boundary of Luo City, and now I'm afraid a countdown has appeared on their arms."
"Ok, I know."
After saying that, He Jinqiu got into his commercial vehicle again and followed closely behind the oil tanker.
The car drove further and further until it was deserted in the mountains. He Jinqiu signaled Yu Cheng to open the lid on the tanker.
From the jar, seven time walkers crawled out in fear, each of them looking extremely embarrassed.
He Jinqiu carefully identified their appearance: "Li Changqing, Li Yu, Li Kan..."
He was shocked.
Needless to say, the importance of Li Changqing goes without saying. Li Yu is one of Li's national policy advisers in the Privy Council, specializing in formulating strategic secrets. Li Kan is the whip of the federal Republican Party. He helped the Republican Party regain the majority it had lost for four years.
Party seats.
The so-called party whip is the ‘disciplinary committee’ within the party and is also an important figure in unifying the party’s thinking.
If the federal civil war breaks out, then this kind of figure will be one of the consortium's most important political resources.
If Jindai and Kashima succeed in joining forces this time, I am afraid that the Li family will immediately cause chaos!
He Jinqiu wondered (cun), are these people so wild? They have found the replacements for so many important figures?!
However, He Jinqiu was thinking about a question. The Li family just made a deal with Jiuzhou to resolve such an important matter. So what are the Li family's time walkers doing at this time? What on earth do they have to do?
At this time, when the replacements saw Jiuzhou, some were surprised and some were frightened.
Some said they were coerced, while others remained silent.
Tang Keke looked at He Jinqiu: "Boss, what should we do with these people?"
After He Jinqiu was silent for two seconds: "Give me a gun."
Tang Keke silently pulled out the pistol from his gun bag and handed it to him.
Everyone knows what choice He Jinqiu will make.
Someone whispered: "Boss, what if someone is really being coerced?"
He Jinqiu said calmly: "I know that some people are really being coerced and are really innocent. But a countdown has already appeared on their arms. We can't go around the world to find seven genetic medicines to stop them from crossing before the next time. And
, we don’t know whether it will be useful to take genetic medicine after the countdown appears.”
"I don't intend to make any excuses. Everyone, the world is so cruel. You don't need to take action this time. If there is any crime, I will bear it alone," He Jinqiu said.
Tang Keke said: "Can we control these substitutes? Jindai and Kashima can do this, and so can we."
He Jinqiu shook his head: "The people these replacements want to replace are too important. They can't act. Jiuzhou has not yet been able to withstand the anger of the other world consortium. Moreover, the deal between me and the Li family has been reached, and the Hu family intelligence agency
The executive director seat is what I need most.”
After saying that, he pulled the trigger and killed the seven replacements in front of him.
He Jinqiu stood in the mountains at night, the cold wind howled, and the world was lonely.
