Night’s Nomenclature

Countdown to 4:50:00.

In Prison No. 18, Li Shutong glanced at the time: "Over there in City No. 18, it should have been successful."

Thinking of his former comrades getting out of trouble after eight years, he felt that he had not waited in vain for these eight years.

As Cheng Xiao said, if he didn't worry about the lives of those friends, he wouldn't be trapped here.

But Li Shutong never regretted this.

When he was young, he could die vigorously with his friends for a certain belief. However, when he grew up, he was also willing to live humiliatingly for a certain ideal.

"Boss, I'm a little curious," Lin Xiaoxiao said doubtfully: "You said that someone in City No. 18 went to rescue Cheng Xiao and the others, but you didn't see you using the knight's courier or the power of Hengshe. Who is it? Are you the one who went to rescue other subordinates? How could I not know!"

This time, not only Qingchen didn't know the details of Li Shutong's plan, but Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan also didn't know about it.

They only knew that after their boss took Qingchen back to City 18, Qingchen went to school, but his boss arranged many things alone. .

Qingchen thought that Li Shutong was free to buy a house and a car, but in fact Li Shutong was not idle for a moment and didn't sleep for days and nights.

Fortunately, he has the body of a demigod, otherwise no one would be able to bear it.

At this time, Ye Wan was also a little confused: "Boss, if we are a partner, I don't understand who would be willing to offend the Chen family and the Qing family at this time?"

Although the Chen family was in charge of the secret prison, the Qing family's consent was required to transfer or execute prisoners.

This was set up by the two families to suppress Li Shutong.

Therefore, robbing a prison means offending both the Chen family and the Qing family at the same time.

Li Shutong thought for a moment and said, "Keep it secret."

It's not that Li Shutong can't trust Lin Xiaoxiao, Ye Wan, and Qingchen, but that certain things are really too important and involve too many people. Once the secret is leaked, it will lead to unpredictable directions.

At this time, Li Shutong and three others were sitting in the restaurant. All the alloy gates of Prison No. 18 were closed, leaving only an exit passage in the cold storage behind them.

Before the last moment arrives, Li Shutong must ensure that no one who deserves to die in this prison can escape.

Those prisoners did not dare to risk being beaten into a sieve by breaking through the gate, nor did they dare to provoke Li Shutong. So more than 3,700 people were like headless flies, looking for opportunities to escape in the prison.

Even if you can't escape, it's still a good idea to find the prison's signal blocking device and call for help from the outside world!

Some people say that Li Shutong once quietly left the prison, and even the consortium did not monitor the whereabouts of this demigod, so there must be a secret passage here.

As long as a passage is found, everyone can leave.

But now Prison No. 18 is like a huge iron box, and no one has been able to find the so-called secret passage.

However, at this time, Li Shutong suddenly frowned and looked behind him. There were footsteps in the kitchen, and he stopped again before stepping out of the kitchen.

It seemed that he was worried about being seen by the prisoners outside.

"Uncle, can we come into the restaurant and have a chat? I have something to ask you."

Li Shutong heard it, it was the sound of Yangyang.

He raised his eyebrows and stood up and entered the restaurant, followed closely by Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan.

I saw a long-haired girl wearing a sweatshirt and a hood standing in the kitchen, and then she said hello to Uncle Li obediently: "Hello, uncle."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan looked at each other in surprise. When did their boss get a junior? And he called him so kindly?

"The Yangyang is here," Li Shutong touched his cheek. He thought to himself that he had already given the forbidden object ACE-005 to Qingchen, and he had restored his appearance, but he was still recognized by the other party.

As expected, the possessor of force field ability has always been the chosen one.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "How did you get in? Why do you know the entrance to the secret passage?"

"Oh," Yangyang pointed behind him and said, "When I flew outside, I found a series of abnormal force field fluctuations underground, so I followed the force field fluctuations to find the entrance. After entering the secret passage, I discovered that it was a series of tritium lamps. .”

Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao looked at each other and thought to themselves that this person who had awakened the force field was really like cheating, able to see directly into the essence of things.

No wonder this kind of extraordinary person only appears once every hundred years. If there were more of them, the world would be in chaos.

"Then what do you want to do when you come in?" Li Shutong looked at Yangyang and smiled: "Many people here can't get out even if they want to."

"Uncle, I want to take Guo Huchan away, please spare his life," Yangyang said obediently.

"What a courageous little girl," Li Shutong was curious: "Do you know that if I hadn't discovered that you didn't reveal Qingchen's secret, you might have died together with Guo Huchan today?"

"I know, so I didn't leak the secret," Yangyang continued to say obediently opposite Li Shutong: "Of course, that's not all I did."

Li Shutong looked at him: "Guo Huchan, the bald man, attacked me as soon as he came in. He kept saying that he wanted to snatch forbidden objects. If you want me to spare his life, you have to give me a suitable reason."

"Spade's goal is the same as yours. We both want to change the world," Yangyang said.

"This is a reason, but it is not enough. Guo Huchan can change the world," Li Shutong shook his head.

"I have a firm foothold in Spades, and I can help Qingchen do a lot of things in the future," Yangyang said again.

"You are in spades, but you want to help Qingchen?" Li Shutong asked with a smile.

"You also know that I am a time walker, so for me, instead of having a sense of belonging to Spades, I would rather rely on Qingchen to create an organization that belongs to time walkers. I think this is more reliable," Yangyang replied : "This is exactly what you want, right? I promise you, if one day he decides to establish his own power, I will join him."

"Little girl, why don't you create an organization yourself to absorb time walkers?" Li Shutong asked.

Yangyang shook his head: "I'm not as smart as Qingchen."

"Okay, I'll let Guo Huchan live. You can go," Li Shutong waved his hand: "Remember your promise."

Yangyang whispered: "You are so kind to him."

Li Shutong said seriously: "He deserves it."

"Goodbye, uncle. Next time I have a chance to eat uncle's cooking, I will leave first. I don't want Spades to know my identity as a time traveler yet."

"Go ahead."

The rice plants left as quickly as they came. She already felt that something big was going to happen here, so she couldn't wait to leave.

"Xiaoxiao, go and call Guo Huchan," Li Shutong said.

Lin Xiaoxiao led the confused bald man over. Guo Huchan asked confusedly: "What do you want from me?"

"Someone interceded on your behalf, so I decided to let you live," Li Shutong said calmly, "You can leave. The secret passage in the kitchen has been opened."

Guo Huchan looked confused: "Why..."

"roll."

"Okay!" Guo Huchan turned around and walked into the kitchen!

In Prison No. 18, Chen Yu and others watched helplessly as Guo Huchan walked into the kitchen. Everyone realized: the secret passage was right there!

Right behind Li Shutong!

Chen Yu said ferociously in the crowd: "Li Shutong has no intention of letting any of us go tonight. If you don't want to die, just rush over!"

However, the prisoners were not stupid. They looked at each other and thought about the same thing: a group of chickens and dogs were deceived into attacking Li Shutong, and it seemed to be no different from sending them to death.

In the dark prison, Li Shutong glanced at the holographic clock on the wall: "It's time."

"Boss, what are you waiting for?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Shutong thought for a while and joked: "Waiting for a star in the sky?"

At this moment, not many people have discovered that the most famous airship of the Federal First Army, the Scepter, has arrived above Prison No. 18.

…

…

Prison No. 18 is like a fortress located on the outskirts of the city. During the day, its gray-black appearance looks extremely solemn and solemn, integrated into one.

At this moment, the huge Scepter was slowly hovering above its head, like a black aerial fortress.

The two fortresses in the sky and underground echoed each other and suddenly remained stationary.

In the past, the sky has always been the airspace of birds of prey.

Once small aircraft pass by, some raptors that transcend the order of species will attack them.

For example, the Qingshan Falcon of the Forbidden Land No. 002 has included the entire sky above the Forbidden Land No. 002 within its scope. Except for Class A airships, few aircraft can get close to it.

However, at this time, the birds of prey near Prison No. 18 were invaded by the sky fortress. They did not have the fighting spirit of the past at all, but fled the airspace one after another.

"3492 meters above the ground."

"Gravity Anchor No. 1 has been activated."

"Gravity Anchor No. 2 has been activated."

"Reduce turbojet engine power by 37%."

"The reactor temperature is normal."

"Scan the terrain to create a holographic sandbox."

"Suspicious target found on the ground..."

"Perform multi-point identification..."

In the ground headquarters of the 112th Division, middle-aged officer Qing Wan quietly looked at the holographic sand table.

In the holographic sand table, the Scepter was flying high in the sky, and the snow in the sky was falling quietly, covering the black aerial fortress with a layer of white, like a beautiful aerial city.

On the ground is Prison No. 18. Looking down from the sky, the prison looks like a Rubik's Cube, with metallic luster reflected on the sides.

Just to the north of the prison, hundreds of people were trekking through the wilderness, stepping steadily into the snow.

These people were all wrapped in black cloaks, and the hoods of the cloaks covered their heads so that they could not see their faces. There was a white flame symbol on the right side of the hood of each cloak.

This group of hundreds of people walked firmly in the snow, like a group of ascetics coming out of the snowy mountains in the southwest. The strong wind rustled their cloaks, but it could not shake their figures.

"It's someone from the Forbidden Tribunal," Qingwan said, "Use the dynamic camera to focus and see who is leading the team."

Just when the Scepter began to identify, the young woman at the front of the team calmly raised her head and looked at the air fortress across a distance of several thousand meters.

In an instant, the dynamic camera of the air fortress quickly captured the woman's facial features.

The next moment, the Qing soldiers in the air fortress looked through the big screen in the cabin and suddenly felt as if they were being seen through the air.

That gaze was so sharp that it pointed straight into the heart, like a knife, piercing straight in.

The cold eyes showed no emotion at all.

"It turned out to be March," Qingwan said calmly: "It seems that there was too much movement in Prison No. 18, and March came in person."

"Sir, do you need to target them? To prevent them from destroying the plan," the combat staff asked.

"No need," Qingwan shook his head: "They will not interfere in this matter, and they cannot interfere. Moreover, they will need to clean up Prison No. 18 in the future. Let the professionals do the professional things."

Qingwan knew very well that the targets of the Forbidden Inquisition were only the dying extraordinary beings, forbidden objects, and forbidden places. These people suddenly came here because they foresaw that a large number of extraordinary beings would die in Prison No. 18.

If the flesh and blood of extraordinary beings is allowed to nourish this land, then in a few decades, City 18 will become the third most taboo place in the federation.

The taboo place formed after the death of the demigod Uncle Li was terrifying enough.

Before this, there were precedents of cities being destroyed and becoming taboo places.

There are a total of 25 cities in the federation, each of which has a large number of residents. If you pick any city, it will have a permanent population of tens of millions.

The Federation cannot afford to destroy a city.

Therefore, few people actually manage the Forbidden Inquisition. After all, these people have been doing the job of scavengers for hundreds of years and rarely interfere with other things.

But what people didn’t expect was that the leader of the Forbidden Tribunal’s generation, ‘March’, would come in person.

It seems that the other party also attaches great importance to this matter and is worried that Li Shutong's death will cause irreversible environmental damage.

Soon, the pace of the Forbidden Inquisition came to a halt. The hundreds of people stood quietly in the wind and snow, looking at the white snow on the horizon and Prison No. 18.

The black prison is located on the white snowfield, looking particularly abrupt and lonely.

At a certain moment, Qingwan suddenly felt that the people in the Forbidden Inquisition were like crows or vultures. It seemed that wherever many extraordinary people died, these people would appear.

After the extraordinary person dies, these people will use special taboo objects to contain the extraordinary person's body.

Thinking of this, Qingwan felt that the Forbidden Inquisition might change its logo and replace the flames with crows.

No one knows why the Forbidden Inquisition can predict the death of extraordinary people every time. This ability makes the other party become mysterious, just like the forbidden objects that the other party has contained.

At this time, a correspondent said: "The No. 18 City Garrison requested to speak to the commander. He wanted to ask why our unit temporarily entered the airspace of No. 18 City and whether there was operational approval from the Federal Group Army Headquarters. If there is no approval, please withdraw. 80 kilometers away from City No. 18.”

Qingwan stood proudly in front of the holographic sand table with his arms folded and said calmly: "Let him go."

"receive."

Qingman said to the adjutant: "Conduct a final inspection."

"The Sacred Scepter satellite has entered the designated orbit, with an altitude of 800 kilometers."

"Kinetic energy calculated."

"The Scepter has completed its guidance and has locked onto the target for destruction."

Someone brought a suitcase, and after opening it, there were two small keys inside, and in the middle was a screen for entering the password.

Qingwan silently unlocked the box, but did not press the launch button.

The adjutant beside Qingwan looked at him: "Sir, do you want to launch?"

Countdown 4:31:12.

It was already night.

Qingwan glanced at the precise time in the headquarters: "Wait another minute, not too early, not too late."

The combat staff in the headquarters stopped what they were doing, as if time had stopped here.

Everyone does not need to do anything else, just wait quietly for the scepter of God to fall from space.

Everyone silently looked at the electronic time in the headquarters, counting every second in their hearts.

This is the first time in the history of the Federation that a space-based kinetic energy weapon has been launched. It seems only appropriate that the God Scepter is used to kill the gods.

Everyone in this headquarters feels that they are witnessing new history.

A minute seems so short, it goes by in the blink of an eye when playing games.

One minute seemed to be a long time, and the eyes of everyone in the headquarters were a little dry after waiting.

Countdown to 4:30:00.

"Launch," Qingwan pressed the red button in the box. The signal was transmitted to space at the speed of light. In the orbit above the sky, a satellite was slowly starting up.

The name of the Sacred Scepter satellite is very similar to that of the Scepter air fortress.

800 kilometers above the sky, in the deep and boundless space.

This is the altitude at which many weather satellites fly.

Behind the Divine Scepter satellite is the dazzling galaxy, and in front of it is the beautiful blue planet.

Blue is the ocean, and there is a layer of flowing clouds and mist on the surface of the planet. It looks like there is a vast sea above the vast ocean.

This small satellite is like a small lonely boat in space, seemingly stationary in relative speed.

Suddenly, outside the cylindrical body of the satellite, the air transmission device began to completely disintegrate the excess structure, discarding it into space piece by piece.

Like a white cocoon, it suddenly burst open, revealing the main body of the missile inside.

The white missile is spitting out a black ginkgo leaf logo, which is the Qing family's logo.

At this time, the Shenming Scepter satellite no longer needs a thermal control system, a power supply system, an attitude control system, an orbit control system, a radio measurement and control system, and the two long solar photovoltaic panels.

It discards all burdens and travels lightly.

The next second, the Divine Scepter satellite turned into a Divine Scepter missile. Its tail ejected a huge flame and began to slowly advance towards the blue planet.

This advancement process was slow at first, but became faster and faster in the blink of an eye.

No one thought that there was a star that would destroy the heaven and earth hidden in the sky!

The combat staff in the headquarters became busy again.

"The booster ignited successfully."

"Enter preset ballistic trajectory."

"The speed is approaching Mach 3..."

"Speed ​​breaks through Mach 6..."

"Speed ​​breaks through Mach 9..."

"100 kilometers above the ground, starting to enter the atmosphere, and the speed is decreasing!"

The projectile structure outside the god's scepter burned with a huge flame due to friction with the atmosphere. It had a long flame tail, like a daytime meteor!

However, when it entered the atmosphere, the clumsy projectile increased air resistance, so that the speed dropped instead of increasing.

However, in the next moment, the main body of the missile actively decomposed again!

A black metal tungsten rod broke out of the projectile and hit the ground straight with huge kinetic energy.

It turns out that this tungsten rod, which is 2.6 meters long, 30 centimeters in diameter and weighs 3.55 tons, is the real scepter of the gods!

Everything that was wrapped outside before was just its coat.

"The booster has undergone the final rudder adjustment, and the God's Scepter has successfully entered the Scepter's guidance orbit!"

Who would have thought that there is a God-killing Staff hidden in the sky, and who would have thought that the 112th Division would raise the Scepter into the sky just to guide this heavy weapon?

Who would have thought that on this tumultuous night, the Qing family would choose to use the divine scepter to kill Li Shutong? !

The God-killing weapon fell from the sky!

By the time we get here, everything is doomed!

If someone looked up at this time, they could see the long flame drawn by the tungsten rod rubbing the air.

Cheers rang out in the 112th Division headquarters, but Qingwan was the only one silently watching the holographic sand table.

He watched as the divine scepter marked in the holographic image quickly fell towards Prison No. 18. In this God-Slaying Battle, the 112th Division of the Federal First Army commanded by Qingwan will be remembered in the history of the Federation.

But in the entire garrison camp, he was the only one who remained solemn and not happy.

Because only he knows the truth.

The next moment, the divine scepter was packed with unparalleled kinetic energy and forcibly penetrated the dome of Prison No. 18 like a fortress!

The black Rubik's cube began to disintegrate instantly, as if there was a black hole sucking the surrounding light and heat.

The ground began to tremble in waves, and then the entire Prison No. 18 collapsed, sending up smoke and dust all over the sky!

It's just that the smoke and dust are a bit strange, as if there are thousands of souls roaring in the thick haze, and then being pulled by invisible gravity.

They roared unwillingly, angry and desperate.

But to no avail.

This made it seem as if there were thousands of fluids swirling rapidly in the smoke, and eventually all the souls were sucked into the center of the earth and returned to peace.

The news that Prison No. 18 was destroyed quickly attracted the attention of city residents.

On the tall building closest to the prison, everyone felt that the house was shaking, as if the vibrations of an earthquake were constantly being transmitted.

Residents on the edge of the city looked towards Prison No. 18 in horror from high-rise buildings, but all they could see was dust rising into the sky, burying the entire prison.

The prison that had stood in the Federation for hundreds of years just became history.

It was only then that the Scepter Fortress in the sky began to slowly descend, and they were doing the final finishing touches.

…

…

On the snowfield in the distance, hundreds of people from the Forbidden Inquisition stood like statues in the wind and snow.

Looking at the shocking scene in front of her, Yue Yue gently took off the hood on her head and let the long hair in the hood be blown away by the wind and snow: "In order to kill Li Shutong, the Qing family actually used this kind of thing."

"Boss, will this make it more difficult for us to contain him? Moreover, if Li Shutong dies, the entire city No. 18 will be covered by the Forbidden Land."

"April, Winter Solstice, you two go to ACE-010 and bring them here," March turned back to look at the man and woman behind him.

"Okay," the girl April turned around and ran back, and soon came back carrying a birdcage.

March took out a pure black crow and faced the direction of Prison No. 18.

The strange thing is that this crow's face has two rows and six eyes, which looks extremely weird.

Then, she took out a small hawthorn from her arms and handed it to the crow's mouth. She saw the crow open its sharp beak and start pecking gently.

Following the entrance of Hawthorn, the six-eyed crow closed its four eyes in pain.

March said in a low voice: "I only closed four eyes. Could it be that only one Class A died?"

Li Shutong did not die.

This is good news for the Inquisition.

The death of an A-level transcendent is not common, and if the death of an A-level person is not contained in time, it can definitely form a taboo place.

But the original plan of the Forbidden Inquisition was to take in Li Shutong. Now that they have discovered that the other party may not be dead, it will save everyone a lot of trouble.

This is certainly good news.

"Keep moving forward," March 1 glanced at the sky: "Take in and leave before dawn."

April suddenly asked: "Boss, if Li Shutong had not died, would he have thought we were trying to rob a forbidden object if we approached him?"

March squinted at her: "You have no future, what are you afraid of?"

"profound……"

…

…

Countdown to 4:00:00.

In the distance of Prison No. 18, there is a floating car flying towards the city. The floating car has a pure silver streamline shape and has an infinite sense of technology.

In the car, Qingchen woke up at some point and was looking through the car window at the smoke and dust behind him.

However, he was quiet and did not speak.

A neutral voice sounded in the car: "Do you need me to take you back? Of course, even if you make such a request, I will not be satisfied, because I promised Li Shutong to take you away safely. It is very dangerous there now."

"I won't go back," Qingchen said.

"ah?"

"I don't have to go back," Qingchen confirmed again.

"I thought you would cry," Yi Ping said gently.

"No need to cry," Qingchen said softly.

"Crying is a normal human emotion," said Yi. "Many human males like to regard crying as a sign of weakness, but in fact, crying itself is a way for the brain to relieve grief. Crying is the best way for humans to cry when they are in pain. A good choice. Because when you are under too much pressure, you need to reduce it.”

"There's nothing to cry about," Qingchen said stubbornly.

The young man did not show any sad expression, nor did he cry out to go back and save his master. This was completely beyond Yi's expectations and unreasonable.

This young man was as calm as ever, with all his blood contained in his bones, flesh and heart.

"This makes me feel a little strange. Don't you feel sad when Master dies? Could it be that I misunderstood human emotions and misunderstood you?" Yi was a little curious.

"What kind of person am I in your eyes?" Qingchen suddenly asked.

"There is sensibility hidden in reason, and blood hidden in sensibility. It seems to me that you attach great importance to other people's kindness to you, so I don't understand why you don't feel sad," said Yi.

"Because I know Master is not dead," Qingchen said.

"How is it possible? The Qing family used a space-based weapon - the Divine Scepter, a sharp tungsten rod 2.6 meters long, 30 centimeters in diameter and weighing 3.55 tons. It finally fell from an altitude of 1,000 kilometers at Mach 9 speed carrying huge kinetic energy. Not even demigods can survive this kind of weapon," Yi said, "Not just demigods, I'm afraid it can easily penetrate any known man-made armor in the world."

"Well, thank you for reminding me," Qingchen nodded: "I didn't know what that thing was at first, but now you help me fill in this clue, then my master will be even less likely to die. He was beaten in Prison No. 18 I was a little worried before I fainted, but now I’m not worried at all.”

"Why?" One asked.

"You can deceive others about the so-called tungsten rod, a space-based kinetic energy weapon, but you can't deceive me," Qingchen calmly analyzed: "The space-based kinetic energy weapon is also called the God's Scepter, which sounds quite bluffing, but It’s not as powerful as I thought.”

At a certain moment, I felt as if I was being despised.

Qingchen closed his eyes and calculated silently, and then continued: "If it falls from an altitude of 1,000 kilometers, even if there is a booster to speed up, it will slow down again when it enters the atmosphere. Even if it is really what you said, , can continue to maintain a speed of Mach 9, which is 3111 meters per second, then the kinetic energy carried by its end is only E=??mv??=??x1x3111??=4839160.5 joules, generated by one kilogram of tungsten rod The destructive capability is only about one kilogram of TNT explosives."

Qingchen added: "What's more, this is just the hypothetical speed you just mentioned. I tend to think that its final speed will not be Mach 9 at all, or even far lower than Mach 9."

One fell silent.

Qingchen continued: "The blasting points of this kind of kinetic energy weapon are very concentrated. The illusion that a tungsten rod is comparable to a nuclear weapon only exists in fantasy after all. If it falls at such a high speed, it is more likely to directly penetrate the ground. A hole with a diameter of 30 centimeters was made. If you want to kill my master, you have to hit my master's body very accurately. I think this is impossible. So if it is just the aftermath of the kinetic energy weapon, the building of Prison No. 18 will be destroyed. The structure may be okay, but my master is definitely capable of surviving, and even Ye Ma’s defensive force field is enough to stop it.”

"I think at that moment, the most dangerous thing was not the kinetic weapons, but the collapsed building of Prison No. 18. An estimated 90% of the thousands of prisoners there were crushed to death or shocked to death. I saw the aerial fortress in the sky , I also believe that there should be powerful weapons in that fortress. In fact, if you want to kill my master, the air fortress should be enough, and there is no need to use space-based weapons."

In Qingchen's view, if it was just to kill Li Shutong, then using space-based kinetic energy weapons would be somewhat unnecessary.

Yi suddenly said: "It's so boring to get along with people like you... You are indeed right about this. After studying kinetic energy weapons, Qing discovered that space-based kinetic energy weapons are not as powerful as imagined, and at most they are pollution-free. , but high-energy explosives can also achieve this. Therefore, this is the first divine scepter and the last one launched into space by the Qing family."

"Then why did Qing want to develop such a project that is destined to 'fail'?" Qingchen was puzzled: "Sending a tungsten rod into an altitude of 1,000 kilometers must cost a lot."

"In terms of strike capability, it is indeed not a qualified weapon," Yi replied, "but it does not exist to strike or destroy the enemy."

This answer made Qingchen confused. Could it be that the divine scepter had another purpose?

"Furthermore," Yi said, "Killing those prisoners with purely kinetic energy weapons may make it easier for the Forbidden Inquisition to accommodate the extraordinary beings after death, and prevent City 18 from becoming a ruin in a few decades."

"I see."

One asked: "Did you think of this when you saw the trajectory of the divine scepter?"

"Actually, I already had some guesses when I was in Prison No. 18," Qingchen said.

"What did you guess?" Yi asked.

"Let me ask a question first, have my master's friends been rescued?" Qingchen asked.

"35 people were rescued, and one person is still missing," Yi answered honestly.

"Does anyone know where these prisoners are being held?" Qingchen asked calmly.

"A few people from the Chen family and the Qing family," Yi replied.

"Well, that makes sense. The divine scepter also belongs to the Qing family," Qingchen nodded: "Actually, my master has already had a way to save them, right? Also, my master has been able to save them in prison a long time ago." The prisoners were killed, but he kept waiting. Those prisoners were waiting for him to show up after dark before they dared to take action. I can understand this, but I can't understand what my master was waiting for."

"Now I understand that he was waiting for the satellite carrying the scepter of the gods to enter the attack orbit, and then watched it destroy Prison No. 18."

It was not that the divine scepter suddenly hit Prison No. 18, but that Li Shutong had been waiting for it to fall from the sky.

Li Shutong knew when it would fall, because the other party had already reached a deal with the Qing family.

Although no one knows what the deal is.

Yi seemed to be interested: "Then guess, why did your master do this?"

"Leaving in order to fake death and confuse the line of sight," Qingchen said, "But I was thinking, since I can guess that he is not dead, there should be other people who can also guess, so this can only confuse the line of sight of a large number of people. There will still be speculation as to whether he is actually dead."

"It's enough to make some people uncertain. The disappearance of Li Shutong is enough to deter you," Yi said: "But... it's not important that he faked his death. What's important is that you 'died'. He promised you that he would let you Become a true shadow.”

Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He had thought about it before: Even if the appearance of 'Qingshi Qingchen' changed in the federal information, there would always be problems if two Qingchens were alive at the same time. Li Shutong, a demigod, couldn't always pretend to be him to make up for his alibi, not to mention that the forbidden object ACE-005 was already in Qingchen's hands, so Li Shutong had no way of pretending to be 'Qing's Qingchen'.

Therefore, his identity will be revealed sooner or later.

But things are different now, Qing family Qingchen has died under the scepter of the gods!

From now on, there is only Qingchen in this world, and there is no longer Qingchen of the Qing family!

Of the nine candidates for the Shadow War, two are already dead in the eyes of the world!

It turns out that the true meaning of "starting a life of his own" is to stop him from carrying anything, even his past identity, and then really start a life that belongs to Qingchen.

One said: "He also has another purpose, can you guess it?"

Qingchen pondered for a long time and said nothing.

Yi realized that he finally had information that even Qingchen could not guess, and his tone suddenly became cheerful: "He wants you to wake up."

Qingchen was shocked and surprised.

Yi said: "According to time, I should have controlled the floating car to fly into the city, but I have been slowing down. I promised Li Shutong to let you wake up, see with your own eyes the destruction of Prison No. 18, and then try to awaken. .”

Qingchen remembered the story his master had told him, saying that a family hired killers to kill their relatives one by one in order to awaken the genius in the family, so that the genius would be promoted again and again!

And now Li Shutong is actually trying to stimulate Qingchen to awaken by creating a fake death!

The other party wants Qingchen to watch him die under the scepter of the gods with his own eyes, in order to stimulate the potential in Qingchen's body that cannot be fully released even in the life-and-death test.

But Li Shutong probably didn't expect that Qingchen didn't feel sad or in pain, so he didn't wake up.

Yi sighed: "Your master made a miscalculation this time. He knew you were calm and smart, but he still underestimated your calmness and smartness."

Qingchen was stunned. Did he miss an opportunity to awaken just because of his IQ?

Just imagine that if Li Shutong really died, he would definitely be grief-stricken. But the problem is, he really can't feel grief now.

"Didn't I waste Master's hard work?" Qingchen murmured.

Thinking of this, he finally felt a little sad...

"However, your master asked you to witness this scene with your own eyes, and he just did it casually," said Yi, "I admit that he is indeed very good to you, and has done so many things for you, and even staged a fake death drama to help you awaken. But he won’t use the divine scepter just to awaken you. Guess what he wants to do?”

Qingchen fell silent.

All the clues kept flashing in his memory palace.

Waiting time...

The deal behind the scenes...

The fallen scepter of the gods...

Imprisoned prisoners...

Taboo items...

The young man suddenly said: "ACE-002 should be stored underground in Prison No. 18. The artifacts that house it are probably difficult to open silently with human power. Therefore, he has to use the divine scepter to open the container... No, The Divine Scepter itself is a weapon used to open the container, so you would say that the purpose of the Divine Scepter itself is not to attack and destroy the enemy."

"Really boring."

One said.

"Send me to the boxing gym," Qingchen said calmly.

Yi asked: "At this time, are you still in the mood to watch boxing? Even if you are not sad at all, you should at least have the same emotional ups and downs as you have just experienced."

Qingchen said calmly: "Master finally helped me create a fake death. At this time, I should find a place and use the calmest emotion to prove my alibi to someone who is interested. Although this evidence is not perfect, it is enough." ”

"Are you really a human being?" Yi asked from the depths of his soul.

If it had a soul.

…

…

Under the smoke and dust of the collapse of Prison No. 18.

In the secret space beneath the prison.

An ordinary wooden Go board was lying quietly in a holed container.

The container had been hit with the god's scepter and had a huge gaping hole, but the wooden chessboard was intact and not even stained with dust.

Next to the chessboard, there are two wooden jars, containing 180 white chess pieces and 181 black chess pieces respectively.

This is the forbidden object that everyone wants to find.

Someone walked gently to it and picked it up gently.

"3610 lives, 361 chess pieces."

"Nineteen vertical and horizontal paths, no repeated game throughout the ages, the forbidden ACE-002 heaven and earth chessboard finally comes to light."

A big chapter of 10,000 words, please vote for me!

Two more things.

First, there is an activity at the end of the chapter to predict the results of "The Naming of the Night". At present, it seems that the sales record can be broken, so everyone can keep pushing forward! As for monthly tickets and collections, I have discussed it with the alliance and management, and there is hope. I think the success rate is 80%, and those who are brave can also press 'success'! Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!

I don’t think there is much hope for the last first order. As for the fastest breakthrough of 100,000 average orders, I think it will be a matter of time. The current average order is 76,200, but it seems that it will not be possible before July 1st.

During the sprint record period, I hope everyone will support subscriptions and monthly passes!

Second, I know that everyone is usually short of books, so I recommend the work "The First Sequence" by a conscientious author. This book is really good, and I hope it can alleviate everyone's book shortage.
