Night’s Nomenclature

Countdown 47:59:59.

Two days.

It is still the familiar Prison No. 18.

But this time it seems a little different.

No longer a cold cell and solitude, but someone waiting for his return.

Ye Ma held a thermostatic lunch box, which contained beef that he had stewed by himself.

The three people opposite looked at him as if they were waiting for him to go home.

The home is a little dark and empty, but it's adequate.

"Teacher, this is the chess record for you," Qingchen opened his palm and handed the USB flash drive to Li Shutong.

Li Shutong looked at it strangely: "I've never seen this interface before. Xiaoxiao, can you handle it?"

Lin Xiaoxiao responded: "No problem, the key to storage devices is the chip."

"Teacher, can you see any changes when I travel through time?" Qingchen asked. He used to rely on himself to find patterns, but now that others are watching, he might be able to discover other details.

"You said before that one second passed in another world after crossing, which is not accurate," Li Shutong said: "In my perception, there was a change in the force field the moment you crossed over, and this change was only a moment, maybe only 0.1 Seconds, or even less. At this moment, you disappeared, and when you reappeared, the gold bar in your hand was gone."

"So that's it," Qingchen was thinking, it turned out that he was really wearing one.

But the question is, where has Qingchen gone in the original world? Was he directly annihilated in the world?

Qingchen asked: "Teacher, that ball of fire in my body..."

"It's not time to explain yet," Li Shutong shook his head: "It's just that it appeared earlier than I expected."

While talking, Ye Wan walked up to Qingchen and lifted up the hem of his clothes. When he saw the outline of Qingchen's abdominal muscles, he smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, I won again."

"What kind of bet did you make with me again," Qingchen asked curiously.

"I bet with him that you will increase the intensity of your training even if there is no one to supervise you," Ye Wan said, "We are all trained people, and you can't develop the outline of your abdominal muscles even if you take a day's rest."

"Let's carry the weight from tomorrow on," Li Shutong said, "Ye Wan, please take care. I haven't met such a self-disciplined child in all these years."

"Okay boss," Ye Wan nodded and said.

Qingchen looked at Li Shutong: "Teacher, don't you read the chess records first?"

"Don't worry about the chess record. You can follow me now," Li Shutong said to Qingchen.

Qingchen looked at the other party a little confused: "Where are you going?"

Li Shutong turned around and walked toward the exit: "I'll take you to see the outside world."

"Why did you take me to see the outside world?" Qingchen was puzzled.

Li Shutong turned around and asked, "Aren't you curious about the outside world?"

Qingchen was stunned for a moment.

Of course he was curious.

From the first day of his return, he saw others mentioning it on the Internet, what a magnificent and magnificent world it was.

Some people say that cities are in the clouds.

Some people say that cities are like real steel forests.

Some people say that the huge holographic projection in the sky is intoxicating.

Others say that the experience of virtual life is beyond comparison with all movies in the world, and it is like you are experiencing another legendary life in the movie.

Those people travel through the colorful city.

But he himself traveled to an iron box called prison.

Qingchen is just a 17-year-old boy, so of course he will be curious and envious.

However, Qingchen looked at Li Shutong and replied: "Although I am curious, I also know that now is not the time to enjoy the scenery."

Li Shutong smiled and said: "Young people should have the mentality of a young person. Before you go on the road alone, as a teacher, naturally you can't let you be any worse than others."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"I, Li Shutong's students, have to see the scenery that travelers have seen in other times. Tonight, I will take you to see the best scenery in City No. 18," Li Shutong said in a casual and willful tone.

The cold prison also has a touch of humanity.

Next to the prison square, the thick alloy gate was slowly lifted for them. The metal storm above their heads did not move, and the drones in the hive were still sleeping.

Ye Wan handed him the cat-face mask she had prepared early in the morning: "The boss asked me to prepare this. It is not suitable for you to reveal your identity now."

The cat face on the mask seemed to be smiling, and the red and white lines were strange and mysterious.

Qingchen suddenly looked at Li Shutong's back.

It turned out that the freedom he longed for was very close at hand.

…

midnight.

City 18, District 1.

Above the clouds, in the revolving restaurant on the 88th floor of the Eternal Building.

In the magnificent restaurant, the melodious sound of cello was slowly flowing, but all the seats were empty.

At the door of the restaurant, several people were arguing with the waiter about something.

The waiters wore crisp white shirts and shiny black vests, with neat bow ties at the collar.

The young waiter explained to the customer in a friendly and polite manner: "Hello, starting from midnight tonight, the Sunlight Pavilion Restaurant has been booked. In view of our failure to provide you with high-quality service, the Sunlight Pavilion Restaurant will give you a free Two vouchers valid for lunch and dinner on non-Saturdays and Sundays.”

The quarrel with the waiter was a man and a woman. The man was a bit old, but the woman was still young.

The man said with a straight face: "I've never heard that Sunlight Pavilion accepts reservations from others. Are you kidding me?"

The waiter smiled politely and said: "I'm really sorry, sir. It's true that I didn't do it before. I was also surprised when I received the notice today."

At this time, they looked through the glass wall of the Sunlight Pavilion restaurant and saw that there was not a single customer inside.

Sunlight Pavilion is the highest restaurant in City 18, overlooking almost the entire city, so it is also the most expensive. The rich and powerful in City 18 flock to it.

The middle-aged man thought for a while: "Is it the Li family or the Qing family who booked the venue?"

"No sir," the waiter said matter-of-factly.

The young female companion seemed a little unhappy. When she acted coquettishly, the colorful earrings shining on her earlobes dazzled the man.

The man thought for a while and asked: "That's right, do I know who is booking the venue? I also know that the person who can book the venue here is definitely a big shot, but if I know him, maybe I can intercede with him myself."

Men are very sensible and not stupid.

When he encounters a difficult person, he will first ask himself, can he do what the other person is doing? If you can't do that, don't ask for trouble and show that the other person is not on the same level as you.

However, he also has a good reputation in this city, and after all, he still wants to regain some face with the kindness of acquaintances.

The waiter went to confer with the manager and came back with a black business card.

There is no contact information on the business card, only five words: Hengshe, Li Dongze.

After seeing this business card, the man took the female companion downstairs in the elevator without saying a word. While in the elevator, the female companion complained in a low voice: "Didn't you say you wanted to say hello to someone? Why did you leave without saying a word?"

The man sighed: "I'll find another place for you, and I'll provide you with this meal in Sunlight Pavilion next time."

"Didn't you say you knew Li Dongze last month?" the woman complained.

"These are two different things." The man was a little impatient: "He is not in City 18 today at all. He reserved the venue for others."

At this moment, the man did think of the most critical point.

But he couldn't think of anyone who was worthy of Li Dongze's efforts.

The other party has always been a very low-key person and rarely does high-profile things like booking venues.

Just as they were taking the sightseeing elevator downstairs, a Black Warrior floating car was slowly suspended on the roof of the Sunlight Pavilion restaurant.

Li Shutong took Qingchen off the floating car, and the waiter who had been waiting here handed Li Shutong a hot towel to wipe his face.

Qingchen wore a mask and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

"Mr. Li, the location is ready for you. All the cameras in the entire Yunwu Building have just been turned off. Mr. Li Dongze told me that your favorite braised pork has just been prepared," the waiter said softly.

Li Shutong said to Qingchen: "Maybe one day you will get used to it. In this world, as long as you have money and power, everything will be just right."
