Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 368 Identification

  No matter from which angle you look at it, Qing Chen doesn't look like a time traveler.

  A normal time traveler would never be like him, talking and laughing happily after going through a battle, as if everything that just happened was just an ordinary rain in the world, which couldn't be more normal.

   "So, what you said before was all lies," Tuanzi asked in a low voice, "It's all lies about being abandoned by teammates, and about going to city No. 10 to attend a cram school."

  Qing Chen said with a smile: "You didn't tell the truth, for example, you didn't say your identity as a time traveler, so it's a tie."

  Duanzi's tone stagnated for a moment: "Okay."

  Qing Chen asked curiously: "Is it because you exchanged falcons with the wilderness people to sell them to the big shots in City 10?"

   "Yes," Sun Chuci explained: "It's popular to cook hawks there recently. If you can have a domesticated hawk standing on your arm when you attend high-class events, it will be a very face-saving thing."

  Just like the stars in the watch world will have a special face if they can wear a certain brand of high-end dresses, people are chasing trends no matter when they are.

   Now, for the socialites in No. 10 city, falcon is the most stylish fashion.

  Qing Chen thought for a while, if he had the Qingshan Falcon on his arm, would he be the most respectable person?

   It's a pity that Qingshan Falcon is too big to stand up with his arms.

   Qingshan Falcon may not be willing to cooperate with him to pretend.

  Sun Chuci continued: "The person who entrusted the wilderness hunter to catch the falcon this time is a big man, but it seems that he didn't buy it for himself, but gave it to others as a gift."

   "How much is a falcon?" Qing Chen asked curiously.

   "1.6 million," Sun Chuci said: "We were also tempted by this amount, so we offered a particularly high price to the wilderness people in exchange, but we didn't expect that the price was so high that they were willing to take risks."

  Qing Chen said in his heart, as a gift of 1.6 million falcons, it must be given to important people.

  Although this gift is novel, it is also too expensive.

  But I heard Sun Chuci continue to say: "I heard people say that the gift is actually for the shadow candidate."

  Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: "How does this have anything to do with shadow candidates?"

Sun Chuci said in a low voice: "We represent the world. Someone from the PCE Public Security Management Committee said that the Qing family has announced the third round of shadow competition, and all shadow candidates will go to the 10th to take up some positions. Therefore, Those who want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix will naturally have to come up with enough face-saving gifts. Some people have released the task of catching falcons before, but the reward price is only about 1 million, but since last week, the price has suddenly increased to 1.6 million."

  Qing Chen sighed, maybe this is the comparison between big shots. In the future, there will definitely be a big shot among the shadow candidates who can influence the Federation, so someone will definitely invest in advance.

   Just like the ancient dynasties in the watch world, every prince who has the opportunity to compete for the crown prince must have no shortage of sycophants.

  The benefits that flatterers can get from these people are far from being comparable to more than one million.

   It's just that Qingchen never expected that Sun Chuci's capture of the falcon would have anything to do with him.

  Of course, it’s only a star and a half. After all, no one outside knows that he is a shadow candidate of suspended animation, and the falcon was not given to him.

  Qing Chen asked thoughtfully: "Do you know what positions they will hold?"

   "It seems to be a trainee supervisor of the CIA's third division," Sun Chuci said, "but this is gossip."

Qing Chen thought about it. It seemed that the outside world didn't know that the shadow candidates were actually going to join the Qing Clan's Secret Service. However, the three branches of the CIA had been completely controlled by the Qing Clan, so Mr. Shadow sent a letter to each candidate. It is convenient to act with an identity with law enforcement and investigative powers.

   In a sense, it is not too much to say that the CIA's third branch is a subsidiary agency of the Secret Service.

  The influence of the secret spy and the manpower that the secret spy can mobilize are far more than that.

   At this time, they were only two hundred kilometers away from City No. 10. Even if the dirt road was difficult, one day was enough to get there.

  Sun Chuci and others took turns driving the pickup, day and night.

  Before, they didn't even sleep at night in order to rush to trade with the wilderness at the appointed time, and they were a little tired now.

  But everyone thought that they would soon be able to return to the "relatively comfortable" city and receive more than 80,000 yuan, so they cheered up again.

  In the car, Qingchen was the only one who was still in high spirits, he asked, "Are you short of money?"

  Sun Chuci thought for a while and said: "In fact, I can manage my own food and clothing well on weekdays, but the Chinese New Year is only two months away, and we also want to have a good New Year."

  Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, the Chinese New Year is still two months away.

  He has a photographic memory, and he can accurately count five hours by silently counting the seconds in his heart, but he seems to have deliberately forgotten the Spring Festival.

  When I was on the administrative office road, the meaning of Chinese New Year was to nest in a cold hut, silently recalling the movies or books I remembered in my mind.

  For Qing Chen, this is a meaningless holiday.

   Just in the evening, three pickup trucks finally arrived at the entry-exit gate of No. 10 city.

   Looking from afar, the city is surrounded by barbed wire fences and power grids several meters high to prevent people from smuggling items.

Each city has its own tariff barriers. For example, if the commodity cars of Jindai and Kashima want to enter the No. 18 city, they have to pay a tariff as high as 47%. The same is true for the northern cities controlled by the island.

   are all a measure for the consortium to protect its territory.

  I don’t know what day it is today, but there are so many people who want to enter the No. 10 city through the entry and exit gates, that there is a long queue at the martial law passage outside the city.

Sun Chuci said: "I heard that it will be like this at the end of the new year. The front line is full of wilderness hunters. Everyone gathers to hunt in the wilderness, or hunt wilderness people for money, and then prepare to have a good year. This time it should be because of the falcons. rewards, so go out and work more."

  Qing Chen thought for a while and asked, "How many Revenant Hunters are there in a city?"

  Sun Chuci responded: "There are 82,319 people registered, and this is a legitimate occupation."

   "So many," Qing Chen was a little surprised, because he didn't see frequent hunters in the wilderness.

  On the road, the soldiers of the Exit-Entry Administration patrolled back and forth to maintain order, looking particularly chilling.

   At this moment, a convoy drove past the fast lane next to the three pickup trucks without queuing.

  Qing Chen raised his eyebrows.

Sun Chuci noticed Qing Chen's strange expression, so he explained to him: "You will get used to it when you go in and out of the city frequently. The vehicles of consortiums, officials, and even some wealthy businessmen have electronic signs of passage, so they can pass through the customs directly. "

  Qing Chen said, "Yes, I know."

  He raised his eyebrows not because he was surprised that someone could jump in line, after all, when he left City 18 before, he used Qing's ginkgo logo to take the priority lane.

  He raised his eyebrows because he clearly saw a symbol like a 'tie' on the convoy, which was the logo of Hengshe.

  Qing Chen didn't expect that Hengshe also had influence in No. 10 city.

  He thought that Hengshe was only active in the 18th city.

  It was 7 o'clock at night, and it was finally Sun Chuci's turn to accept the identity check.

  More than a dozen entry-exit soldiers, and more than 30 mechanical guards surrounded the surrounding area, and even drones were hovering in mid-air.

  The entry-exit gate is a gate-like building, with a bunker-like defensive building above it, and a tunnel filled with white light strips below it. All vehicles must be inspected in this tunnel.

   When Qing Chen looked up, he also saw a honeycomb embedded in the top of the tunnel, and inside the honeycomb were hundreds of Frontier-01 drones, carrying standard weapons with a caliber of 5.56mm.

  Different from Table World, the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau here is more like a part of the city defense system, with greater powers.

  If someone breaks through the customs without authorization, the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau has the right to kill them on the spot.

   And, they killed a lot of people too.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a black uniform silently looked at the documents and materials handed over by Sun Chuci, and then asked in surprise: "You killed 17 wilderness people? Are you kidding me, your team of F Can a level-rated Revenant kill 17 Revenant?"

Sun Chuci responded patiently: "That's right, it's quite a coincidence, but the evidence of photos and videos, the records of life detectors, and the records of iris sequence extraction can all be used as proof, and we also confiscated some firearms, you Check it out too."

  The middle-aged man thought for a while and waved to his colleagues, and someone immediately went to check the three pickups.

The middle-aged man turned off the law enforcement recorder in front of him as if nothing had happened, then led Sun Chuci to a place where there was no surveillance and said, "According to normal procedures, you should be able to receive a federal reward of 85,000 yuan, but your evidence There are four less perfect…”

  Sun Chuci hurriedly said: "I understand, then we will receive 13 wilderness rewards."

  He knew very well that this was because the middle-aged man wanted to make some money, and as an ordinary wilderness hunter, he had to cooperate.

   Otherwise, if you want to go to the wilderness next time, being held back by the opponent will make hunting very difficult.

  The middle-aged man saw that Sun Chuci was so easy to talk, and immediately laughed: "I am the head of the seventh brigade of immigration management. You can come to me for anything in the future."

   "Okay," Sun Chuci nodded.

   "Okay, then I will check the information of your entourage routinely and then you can go," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

   After finishing speaking, he returned to the position where he was standing just now and turned on the law enforcement recorder again, then handed over the owner's electronic identification card that Sun Chuci had handed over to him, and swiped it to the miniature LCD computer in his hand one by one.

  However, when he swiped Qingchen's electronic identity card, he froze.

  The middle-aged man gave Sun Chuci a surprised look, and then hurried towards the pickup truck in the tunnel.
