Night’s Nomenclature

The mechanical guards in Prison No. 18 carried away the bodies of the three dead soldiers.

There was some quietness in the prison, everyone was silent.

Qingchen was sitting at the dining table, wondering what he was thinking, and his face was a little pale.

This was the first time he felt fear, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly turned into physical discomfort, and he could not even digest the breakfast he had just eaten.

The teacher in school taught him what functions are and what subject, predicate and object are.

His parents taught him how to use chopsticks, how to wash clothes, and how to take care of himself.

But no one taught him what death is.

Only if you have seen this kind of thing with your own eyes will you know how shocking it is to have life disappear before your eyes.

As for the fact that he personally witnessed a dead man committing suicide by biting a poison sac, I'm afraid if he told it to others when he returned to the surface world, others would think he was making up a story.

Li Shutong looked at Qingchen and asked, "Is it your first time to witness death?"

"Yeah," Qingchen pursed his lips and responded.

"Are you afraid?" Li Shutong asked.

"A little bit," Qingchen nodded.

"You know, everyone has two lives," Li Shutong said with a smile: "The second life begins when you realize that you only have one life."

From that moment on, you will begin to tell yourself the importance of time and clearly realize how much time you have wasted.

I don't know why, but the more frightened Qingchen is at this moment, the calmer he becomes inside.

He looked at his past and imagined his future.

Li Shutong looked at him and asked: "These three dead soldiers are most likely coming for me, so help me find them. I owe you a favor. You can exchange something with me for whatever you want." ?”

Since he started playing chess, Li Shutong asked him several times what he wanted to change.

Qingchen said: "I want a list of members of the Li Group."

"It's strange," Li Shutong said, "Why don't you change my method of becoming a transcendent? There are not many people in this world that I can owe favors to, but you are the only one who doesn't cherish the opportunity."

Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "Because this little thing cannot be equal to the value of your secret. If you want to exchange this kind of thing for an extraordinary opportunity, you can't get it."

Li Shutong smiled and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Qingchen continued: "Besides, when the time comes, you will give it to me yourself without changing it."

Li Shutong's smile grew thicker and thicker: "You are smarter than I thought, and you are more patient and forbearing. But you are right, some things are not for exchange, and you will get them when the time comes. Although you don't I was a little disappointed that I had seen blood, but after thinking about it carefully, if you ignore life, I will find it boring."

After saying that, he asked Lin Xiaoxiao to get a list of Li family members: "I'm curious, what do you want this for?"

"Should I not need to explain the purpose?" Qingchen asked.

"Forget it, I won't ask," Li Shutong waved his hands in a dumbfounded voice: "This is a favor to repay you, you can do whatever you want."

…

At night, Qingchen waited in the cell for the countdown to return.

He originally thought that Lin Xiaoxiao would take the nightmare test today, but the result was not expected.

Maybe the other party feels that he is no longer bound by the nightmare, so the test is useless.

Or perhaps, Li Shutong felt that there was no need to test anymore.

Faintly, Qingchen felt that he was getting closer and closer to the path of transcendence.

The countdown had not yet reached zero, but he just lay down on the cold bed and closed his eyes to fall asleep. Unlike the previous times when he anxiously waited for his return, Qingchen now felt calmer after witnessing death.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the hut where he worked. Birds chirped outside the window, and it was dawn.

He glanced at the white lines on his arm and counted down 40:20:21.

It looks like it's been two more days.

"The process of time travel is so silent that even sleeping people cannot be awakened," Qingchen thought to himself.

After two tense days, Qingchen suddenly felt relieved and relaxed after returning to the outside world.

However, at this moment, he was already looking forward to traveling through time again, where there would be more opportunities waiting for him.

He put on his school uniform and prepared to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Xue leading Li Tongyun.

"Good morning, Aunt Jiang Xue, is this time traveling... okay?" Qingchen asked.

"It's okay," Jiang Xue said with a smile, "I'm just about to send Xiaoyun to school. You come home after school in the evening and I'll buy some fish and ribs to celebrate."

"What are you celebrating?" Qingchen wondered.

"Let's talk about it tonight, you'll know then," Jiang Xue smiled and left, leaving Qingchen thoughtful.

On the way, Qingchen turned on his phone and stared at the hot searches, wanting to see what new things would happen after this time travel.

Sure enough, a hot search attracted his attention: foreign news reported that someone was selling intelligence on the dark web, saying that killing the time traveler would not inherit the opportunity to time travel.

Qingchen was stunned when he saw this news, because behind these few words, it meant that a fresh life had disappeared.

Reality is often bloodier than words suggest.

When he arrived at school, he found that a large number of people had gathered in the next class to watch.

Qingchen grabbed Yu Junyi, the study committee member of his class who was joining in the fun, and asked, "What's going on? What are you looking at?"

Yu Junyi explained: "Didn't I say that there was a time traveler in the next class? His name is Liu Dezhu. He just came to school, and everyone is asking him about time travel."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would come to school.

You must know that this guy was taken away by the mechanical prison guards as soon as he entered. In the past two days of this time traveling, he has not seen him again.

According to Qingchen's estimation, he thought that the other party would have some psychological shadow, and then he would suspend school like Huang Jixian did. Unexpectedly, the other party was now sitting in the classroom as if nothing was wrong.

At this time, Liu Dezhu was surrounded by classmates, and someone asked loudly: "Where did you appear after you traveled through time?"

"Yes, what is your identity when you travel to the past?"

"Why don't you have mechanical limbs? I see that many time travelers have them."

"Did you really travel through time? You were not kidding, right?"

Everyone asked questions one after another, and Qingchen squeezed forward, wanting to hear where the other person was taken by the mechanical prison guards and what he went through.

However, Liu Dezhu seemed to be annoyed by the question: "I did travel through time!"

"Then why don't you have mechanical limbs?"

Liu Dezhu frowned: "Aren't there many people who don't have mechanical limbs? And having mechanical limbs is a good thing? Let me tell you, I traveled to Prison No. 18 and met Li Shutong!"

The classroom suddenly became quiet.

He Xiaoxiao is a very famous game anchor, and his reputation has increased even more after the time traveler incident, especially among the student community.

So everyone knows that Prison No. 18 is a very important place, and Li Shutong is a very important figure in the world.
