Night’s Nomenclature

Countdown to 48:00:00.

Qingchen, Ye Wan, and Lin Xiaoxiao were walking in the quiet No. 18 Prison.

This was the first time he saw what the prison looked like after 9 o'clock, empty and quiet.

Four mechanical prison guards stood silently in the square, and the mechanical eyes on their faces were also extinguished, as if they had entered a dormant state.

At this time, Qingchen had determined that his and He Xiaoxiao's deduction was not wrong. Jian Sheng also traveled to City No. 18 because of her appearance in Luo City.

Wherever he travels, where will the time traveler's future life in the other world continue.

Ye Wan said: "On the day the time traveler came out, we did not arrest you immediately. This was to avoid other people's association, so you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed. Xiaoxiao announced to the outside world that you are ACE-005 who covets the boss to guard you, so He was given a small punishment."

"Well, you have thought it through quite carefully," Qingchen understood. In fact, Li Shutong had been prepared to accept him into the organization from the beginning, but whether he could survive it was his own business.

At this time, a weak and hoarse voice came from somewhere in the prison: "Li Shutong, please let my boss go..."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Did you lock him up for four days?"

"Well, otherwise he would come out to make trouble with the boss again. If it weren't for his commendable loyalty, the boss would have dealt with him long ago," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "But don't worry, someone has been bringing him water and food for four days. "

"Have you investigated what he did before?" Qingchen asked.

"We have investigated," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "He used to work as a nursing home thug in Helianshe."

Qingchen's mouth slowly grew bigger: "Nursing home... thugs?"

"Oh, you don't know this," Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "In this world, slums generally do not have the habit of supporting the elderly. They are all sent to nursing homes after they are over sixty years old, and the children squander their parents' pensions."

"Then why do you still have thugs? Beating old people?" Qingchen was shocked.

"No, no," Lin Xiaoxiao explained dumbfounded: "They collect protection fees from the old man. The old man pays them to place an order, and then they send the strongest young man with the most mechanical limbs to pretend to be the old man's grandson to intimidate him. , intimidating other elderly people. This way the elderly will not be bullied by other elderly people in the nursing home."

Ye Wan added: "They group of nursing home thugs also have a famous slogan: Helianshe Elderly Care Service is guaranteed to be faster than your son and provide better service. After all, we are worried that we will not make any money if you die. But your son won’t worry because the money will be his after you die.”

Qingchen hesitated for a moment: "Is the business in this industry good?"

"Not bad," Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "It's okay to at least support a society, but our Hengshe doesn't like this business."

At this time, Qingchen was a little confused. Why would the Qing family send a nursing home thug to help him when it was such an important matter for him to participate in the Shadow War?

Qingchen thought for a while: "Can I go see him?"

"Of course," Lin Xiaoxiao led Qingchen to Lu Guangyi's door. He said hello to the camera in front of the door, and the alloy gate opened.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan did not go in, but gave Qingchen and Lu Guangyi space to talk alone.

Lu Guangyi lay blankly on the cold ground. The food on the plate beside him moved a little, but he didn't eat much.

When the other party heard the sound of the alloy gate, he immediately got up. When he turned around and saw Qingchen, he immediately cried: "Boss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Qingchen said softly. He was a little weak now, so he simply sat down on Lu Guangyi's bed.

Lu Guangyi squatted beside him and asked with concern: "But boss, why have you lost so much weight? Are they torturing you? I will tell him about this when Qingyan comes to visit in a few days!"

"No need to tell Qingyan," Qingchen shook his head: "I heard that you went to trouble Li Shutong?"

"Well," Lu Guangyi nodded: "Don't you just miss his ACE-005? As for torturing people like this? Guo Huchan was worried about it before, so it's okay. Boss, you are just a shadow candidate. So I don’t think the Qing family will go to war!”

"There is no need to mention this matter again. People have to bow their heads under the eaves," Qingchen said.

"That won't work. I will fight with Uncle Li tomorrow!" Lu Guangyi said indignantly.

"Okay, no need to pretend," Qingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Pretending...I'm not pretending," Lu Guangyi hesitated.

Qingchen looked directly at him with clear eyes, until Lu Guangyi became more and more guilty, and finally sat wilted on the ground, dejected.

Even if the other party has the standard mechanical limbs of the Qing's military, it can't resist the decadent aura of the little person on the other party.

Qingchen felt a little emotional. He and Lu Guangyi had only known each other for a few days. Even if he were the reincarnation of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he would not have such a powerful and domineering spirit to make people bow to him.

His past life experiences gave him pain, as well as his meticulous observation and thinking abilities.

So he actually knew very well that Lu Guangyi knew that nothing would really happen to him, so he pretended to be loyal.

If the other party does nothing while you are in detention, then the other party will be marginalized sooner or later after you are released.

There is no love and loyalty for no reason in this world.

Qingchen is extremely familiar with people.

But I heard Lu Guangyi mutter in a low voice: "Boss, you have seen through it all. In fact, this is just the way to survive for little people like us."

Qingchen sighed: "You don't have to fawn over me. I understand what you have done these days. Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything betrayal, I won't treat you as an abandoned son. "

Lu Guangyi suddenly raised his head: "Really, boss?"

"Really," Qingchen nodded.

Qingchen thought for a while and said to Lu Guangyi: "But there is one thing I must make clear. Follow me and you must act more low-key and no longer be as public as before."

"I heard Qingyan say before that boss you are very low-key, and it's true!" Lu Guangyi immediately became obedient after hearing this: "Boss, if you see where I need to improve, tell me, and I will definitely change it."

Qingchen was silent for a moment: "First take off the gold bars on your robotic arm and make it simpler."

"Okay!" Lu Guangyi pulled off the gold bar without saying a word.

Gold bars are flat and slender. When we say they are gold bars, it is actually more accurate to describe them as gold threads.

About 1 mm thick, 2 cm wide, and 10 cm long.

Just in an instant, the mechanical arms that originally seemed to be extremely sophisticated fell down a notch...

Qingchen nodded and said, "I'll keep the gold bars for you first. Remember, don't make it public."

Lu Guangyi didn't think much about it. From the perspective of ordinary people in this world, would the direct descendants of the five major financial groups be short of money? The money is printed by others.

"Get a good rest," Qingchen calmly took the gold thread from Lu Guangyi's hand, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and then walked out the door.

It wasn't until the alloy gate behind him closed again that the boy slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingchen's mind raced rapidly. This was about 2 cubic centimeters of gold. Calculated based on the density of gold at room temperature being 19.23, that's more than 30 grams...

What is the price of gold in the world now?

Lin Xiaoxiao asked: "Is there anything else you need to deal with?"

Qingchen thought for a while: "Yes, I have a plan to confirm something."
