Nomenclature of Night

In Qing Chen's imagination, the cyberpunk world should always be immersed in the dark sky.

Intensified weathering and haze caused by soil erosion have plunged the world into natural disasters.

However, the fact is that when technology has developed to the present and the energy is replaced with high-efficiency nuclear energy, the sky has become clearer instead.

Electric vehicles have replaced petrol vehicles in cities. With less serious exhaust emissions, people can even see the stars at night when they look up.

In the wilderness, soil erosion is not that serious. The dense vegetation in the forbidden land has become the line of defense for human beings against wind and sand.

Sometimes Qing Chen would think, if this world really becomes a taboo place one day, giants like Dingdong run wildly in the green ocean, and there are phoenixes inhabiting the huge canopy, then it should be beautiful.

And giants like Dingdong, born in the Forbidden Land, will not be affected by the rules.

Countdown 2:00:00.

At his home on the 132th floor of the Luoshen Building, Qing Chen took off the expensive suits distributed by Li, and chose a set of white sportswear from a cabinet of white sportswear bought by Master.

He put on his peaked cap and looked at his sofa.

There were traces of someone sitting on the sofa, but no one had moved the door of his room until he returned.

Being able to enter the house without touching the outside door, Qing Chen's impression is only the shadow of the Qing clan.

This also increased Qing Chen's judgment: the taboo that can open the shadow gate should be a place where the host has been and has seen it.

The shadow of Qing had to walk through the main entrance the first time he came in, and there was no need for it later.

Qing Chen suspected that during his stay in Li's Half-Mountain Manor, Qing's shadow would come to take a nap every day while he was not at home.

The kettle at home has boiled hot water, and there are fine tea crumbs beside the cup, indicating that the other party has made tea.

Some people have used the bathroom, some have bathed in it, and even the bathtub has been used.

This Qing clan’s shadow doesn’t seem to think of himself as an outsider at all...

Qing Chen sighed in his heart, and it was really a headache for someone who came and left as he wanted to stand.

But, what does the other party want to do? Will it be the other party's arrangement to participate in the shadow war?

But what does the other party want?

Qing Chen didn't think about it any more, pressing the brim of his hat and pushing out the door.

This time, he specifically listened to the movement outside the door, so as not to frighten the silver-haired girl Zheng Yi again.

However, when Qing Chen waited to come to the elevator, in the door that gradually opened, the silver-haired girl exclaimed again, and she even reached into her small satchel, as if there was some weapon in it. .

Such as anti-wolf spray.

Qing Chen didn't know whether the anti-wolf spray in the inner world would be more ferocious than the outer world.

It wasn't until the silver-haired girl discovered that the person outside the elevator was Qing Chen, and she was a little relieved. She curiously asked, "Why haven't you been to school recently?"

Qing Chen thought for a while and replied: "My family may not have enough tuition for college, so I plan to go to work in advance to make money."

Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment: "Everything can be done, but you must go to school. The convenience store where I work is recently recruiting night cashiers. Should I recommend you to work? I will definitely save enough tuition."

"Thank you, let me think about it," Qing Chen walked into the elevator with a smile: "Hurry home and rest."

"Yeah," the silver-haired girl walked two steps after getting out of the elevator and looked back: "You must think about it. Actually, it's not much hard work."

"Hurry up and go home," Qing Chen waved his hand with a smile.

The elevator closed, and he turned and looked out the transparent glass window.

In this city, a girl like Zheng Yi must work hard in exchange for an uncertain future.

The other party goes to school in the morning, makes up classes in the afternoon, and works in the evening.

I want to take a college entrance exam.

But after going to university, the best way out is to continue working for the consortium, and then suddenly die at work.

This is a well-designed world, and all the rules of the game are in the hands of the consortium.

Qing Chen was thinking that Master Li Shutong and his friends might have met so many people with such a hard life that they made up their minds to change the world.

He put on a headset, and asked in the headset: "You should go back to the watch world. The data fortress that promised you during the second transaction is in your left pocket, and you can plug it into your computer's USB port after you go back. By the way, 14 days later, Li Changqing is going to watch you inject the No. 003 gene medicine. Have you figured out how to deal with it? Are you really planning to bite the bullet and run away?"

Before, Qing Chen refused to inject genetic medicine because he had just injected 004, and it would take another 18 days before the next injection.

Now 4 days have passed, and this needle cannot be avoided by hiding.

Qing Chen did not answer this question, but asked something else: "What is the origin of the knight?"

One answer: "Originated from extreme sports."

"Extreme sports?" Qing Chen knew that every life and death pass was like an extreme sports, but he always thought it was just a coincidence.

Yi said: "It is recorded in the history of knights completed by my father that my grandfather, the founder of the knights organization, only liked extreme sports at the beginning. Later, when he became a leader in various extreme sports fields, he completed the eight life and death barriers. After the challenge, the gene lock suddenly opened. It was also from that time that the eight life and death challenges became the path of cultivation."

Qing Chen knew that before the breathing technique was created, the knight needed to fully challenge the eight life and death levels in order to become a true knight, and the gene lock could be unlocked.

Before completing the eighth item, they were just ordinary people.

Yi's grandfather, Ren He, never knew that this was a path of cultivation before completing the eight challenges.

Yi suddenly said: "Li Shutong feels so empathetic to your ancestors in the world because the Cavaliers have always known that before the founder embarked on this path, he knew nothing about the era he was about to create, and he didn't know he could Become extraordinary."

"Why did the founder complete these eight challenges?" Qing Chen asked curiously.

"Because of the love and firm belief in life," Yi replied: "Actually, Li Shutong accepts you as a disciple is very hasty. According to the normal knight accepting process, you have to go through the extreme sports first, but he You are too eager, you are too smart, so he omitted this process."

Yi continued: "In Li Shutong's life, the road of knighthood is a process of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, but for you, it is more of a path of self-cultivation. I can’t really understand what it is.”

Qing Chen was thoughtful, his thoughts on this path were more utilitarian, so he didn't realize the true meaning of this path instead.

However, he was once moved by the rising sun on the cliffs of the green mountains, and there was an impulse in his heart, wanting to walk the path that Master and the others have traveled in those years.

Extreme sports.

This was something that Qing Chen felt unfamiliar before, and it was also something he had to be familiar with.

He has already figured out how to deal with Li Changqing.

But within 14 days, he must complete the next life and death challenge.

Last time, it was the path of the knight that the master took him, and now he will also travel far.

There was heavy snow in the 18th city. The snow on the ground was 30 centimeters thick, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

…

…

Countdown to return 00:30:00.

In a dilapidated apartment in the sixth district, Liu Dezhu was sitting in the room anxiously waiting, not only him, but also Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen who had just arrived in the 18th city.

Compared with Liu Dezhu, who has been shaking his legs, Hu Xiaoniu is obviously much more calm.

But Liu Dezhu was holding a long black box in his arms, rubbing his hands constantly.

The black box is about 1.6 meters long and extremely heavy.

It was so heavy that Liu Dezhu was holding it and sitting on the sofa, and the whole person would be crushed into the sofa.

In this dilapidated apartment, the daily necessities are readily available, as well as hot water supply 24 hours a day.

It's just that none of the three people in the room had the intention to pay attention to other things and struggled with time.

Zhang Tianzhen curiously asked, "Is the boss still coming?"

Liu Dezhu would look at the time on his phone from time to time: "The boss said he will come before he returns, and he will definitely come."

"Okay," Zhang Tianzhen looked at the black box in Liu Dezhu's arms again: "What the **** is this? After meeting with you in the 18th city, I saw you holding him all the time."

"This is the boss's thing," Liu Dezhu became wary: "Let's do our job well. Don't ask questions if we shouldn't. I haven't opened this thing since I got it, and I don't know what it is inside."

"Brother Liu, I feel that you have changed a lot. It's a bit less slick. I haven't seen you open your mouth and shut your mouth to be the boss," Hu Xiaoniu curiously asked: "By the way, does the boss agree with us?"

"Of course, he doesn't speak, can I let you over?" Liu Dezhu replied: "Just wait patiently. He must have something to explain to you."

"What does the boss look like?" Zhang Tianzhen asked curiously.

Liu Dezhu's face darkened: "Don't you tell me everything? Don't ask if you shouldn't."

"Oh," Zhang Tianzhen was discouraged.

Hu Xiaoniu also looked at Zhang Tianzhen seriously: "As time walkers, we must first pay attention to confidentiality. The boss can't be too cautious. We just need to do our own thing."

"Well, I understand," Zhang Tianzhen nodded.

In a sense, the three people in this room can also be regarded as those who have been tested for a period of time among the time travellers who have appeared next to Qing Chen, and they are relatively reliable.

Qing Chen also decided to meet Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen after careful consideration.

At this moment, the sound of pressing the code lock sounded outside the door.

The three people in the room looked up, and a mysterious cat face mask came into view.

Qing Chen asked in a low voice: "It's all here."

After speaking, he turned his eyes to the black box in Liu Dezhu's arms.

Liu Dezhu offered the black box with both hands like a treasure, with tears in his eyes: "Boss, without you, I'm afraid I will really be in jail for a lifetime. I brought you things. I swear to you that I have never opened it. "

Qing Chen thought for a while and said, "It's done well."
