Night’s Nomenclature

Countdown to 40:20:00.

Qingchen walked out of the alloy gate as usual. He saw the prisoners in the corridor looking at him strangely, as if they were surprised that he reappeared after five days.

But this time he didn't shuttle through the corridor, but just stood there.

Waiting for the announcement from the prison, and then following the queue downstairs to get food.

The prisoners immediately believed the rumors from the past few days: the young man had angered Li Shutong and was locked in a small dark room for several days and suffered some torture.

Therefore, this boy has now lost the special treatment in Prison No. 18.

However, the prisoners still dare not provoke him easily, because Li Shutong can offend the Qing family, but they cannot.

During the meal, Lu Guangyi and Qingchen sat far away from Li Shutong.

Qingchen lowered his head to eat, chewing carefully to make sure that the food was completely chewed before swallowing.

His stomach is very fragile now and must be taken care of.

Qingchen didn't say a word during the meal, there was only silence.

There was a clear distinction between him and Li Shutong.

It was as if they were good friends a few days ago, but today they are strangers.

The prisoners were whispering and gossiping about what was going on. Did Li Shutong have a breakup with the Qing family?

Everyone also speculated on what the taboo objects Li Shutong guarded were worthy of the other party's vigilance and irritability.

At this moment, only Guo Huchan looked carefree and indifferent.

He sat down next to Qingchen with a dinner plate and said cheerfully: "How did you offend Li Shutong and be tortured like this by him?"

Qingchen raised his head and looked at him: "Sit here with me, aren't you afraid of offending Li Shutong?"

Guo Huchan said nonchalantly: "I, Spade, are not even afraid of the consortium, so why are we afraid of Li Shutong?"

"Then why did you come to me?" Qingchen didn't seem to be very interested in Guo Huchan, a strong man who talked about things and made random promises, so he didn't even look at him while chatting.

"I am different from others. Others may value the Qing family behind you, but I am different. I value your ability!" Guo Huchan said, "I am serious and want to invite people with lofty ideals like you."

"Not interested," Qingchen said calmly and stood up. He threw the dinner plate to Lu Guangyi to wash, and then walked towards the reading area alone.

He seemed to be exhausted before taking two steps and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he used his hands to support himself in time to avoid making a fool of himself.

Qingchen stood up and continued walking forward.

Unknowingly, two prisoners followed him behind him, and they were casually approaching him.

However, at the next moment, Qingchen, who was still weak in front of him, suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them.

The young man's eyes were clear but particularly oppressive, as if he could see through the two of them.

The two prisoners were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and seemed to have made up their minds. In an instant, they each took out a sharpened toothbrush handle from their waistband and rushed towards Qingchen.

In Qingchen's eyes, the hydraulic transmission shafts on the two mechanical legs suddenly exerted force, and he could even see steam spraying out from the other's steel limbs.

That was not a physical reaction brought about by the mechanical limbs, but the mechanical structure somewhere in the mechanical limbs squeezed the air and instantly vaporized the water in the air!

But they just jumped up and rushed towards them, but at the same time they closed their eyes and fell into unconsciousness.

Qingchen stood on the spot and turned sideways, letting the two men pass by him, flying behind him, and rolled on the ground more than ten times before finally stopping.

The two of them couldn't stand up again, their consciousness was already tightly entangled in Lin Xiaoxiao's nightmare.

Qingchen squatted beside them and observed, while Lu Guangyi came over and opened their mouths with a robotic arm, and forcefully pulled out their back molars.

The prisoners were stunned. No one could see clearly what happened. Everything happened too fast.

They didn't know why the two prisoners attacked Qingchen, or how they fell.

Lu Guangyi held a back molar in his hand and showed it to Qingchen. It was clearly a silver poison sac.

At this moment, Qingchen understood that the three dead men who died before were not looking for Li Shutong at all. The other party's target... was him.

The two dead men today came in five days ago, together with Jian Sheng from Sichuanzhou.

At that time, everyone's attention was on Jian Sheng, but even though it was extremely chaotic, Qingchen also noticed something strange about these two people.

At first he didn't care, but on the fourth day in the dark room, the more lonely Qingchen became, the more sober he became, so that all the strange things that had happened were replayed in his mind.

So he gave the other party a chance, a chance to be alone and weak.

This was used to determine who those dead soldiers came for.

If these two people don't take action, then he will find these two people out. If these two people take action, then the answer will be revealed immediately.

Calculating the time, the first batch of dead soldiers came in together with him.

Therefore, in fact, someone wanted to kill him when he traveled through time on the first day. If he hadn't found Li Shutong immediately and made the other party afraid, he would have died long ago.

The dead soldier who came in later seemed to have received a death order. He had to kill himself even if he was trying to die, so he was so urgent.

Who wants to kill him, other shadow candidates?

Qingchen wasn't sure, but this was the most likely answer.

It seems that the shadow war is more dangerous than I imagined.

The shadows in Qing's consortium who specialize in doing dirty things are naturally unscrupulous. Only those who dare to exclude dissidents are worthy of being shadows.

In this nine-person race in the darkness, the competition from the very beginning was not who was better at performing the mission, but who was more ruthless and decisive.

At this time, four mechanical prison guards ran over in unison.

However, they did not go to embarrass Qingchen, but directly carried the two dead soldiers out.

Qingchen knew that they would face extremely harsh interrogation and punishment because he had just experienced it.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Lu Guangyi asked.

"Wait for them to speak," Qingchen said and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao from a distance, then walked towards the reading area.

…

At night, prison No. 18 became quiet again.

Just as Qingchen was lying on the bed thinking about something, the alloy gate of his cell opened by itself.

He was not surprised, but walked out quietly. Li Shutong, Ye Wan, and Lin Xiaoxiao were already waiting for him in the fitness area downstairs.

This was everyone's agreement. What Li Shutong wanted to teach him could not be known to others. Fortunately, all prisoners were forced to return to their cells after 9 o'clock, which gave Qingchen enough time to learn... how to become a transcendent.

Li Shutong looked at Qingchen in front of him and asked, "Do you have anything you want to ask? You can deal with other things before studying."

"Who wants to kill me?" Qingchen asked.

"It hasn't been tried yet," said Lin Xiaoxiao next to him: "These two people have very strong bones and can grit their teeth even in nightmares. They really committed crimes and came in. No one arranged it, so they also investigated in this aspect. Nothing comes of it. The mechanical limbs seem to have been specially replaced, just to prevent them from finding out where their mechanical limbs are sold and produced. But don't worry, give me 7 days and I will give you an explanation."

"Thank you," Qingchen nodded.

Li Shutong thought for a while and said: "After all, it is the juniors of the Qing family who want to compete for the position of shadow. Danger is the only way to go. You must be mentally prepared for this."

"Why are you fighting for the position of shadow?" Qingchen was puzzled: "Even if you narrowly escape death, you won't hesitate?"

Li Shutong smiled and said, "Because I don't know which generation of the Qing family started to set the rules. Only those who have been shadows can be the head of the family."

…

Please give me a monthly vote, please give me a monthly vote, just let me stay in the top ten, I will fall out again!
