Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 392 Countdown to Seven Days

   "Among the known taboos, there is no such thing as changing the fate of others and bringing bad luck," Qing Chen said.

   On the way back from his first climb to the top of the Qingshan cliff, Lin Xiaoxiao had already sent the taboo file to his reader.

  So, if it is a known taboo, then Qing Chen must have suspected it long ago.

Qing Chen looked at Mr. Shadow opposite: "But the unrecorded taboo doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Since Hu's intelligence agency has recorded such an extraordinary person who can write destiny, he is likely to separate the taboo." things come."

   "Do you feel lucky to have a forbidden item that has never been recorded in your hand," asked the shadow.

   "Yes," Qing Chen got up and paced back and forth in the living room: "But the conditions for the containment and use of this forbidden object must be very strict, otherwise I am glad that I have already written myself as the head of the Qing family, so there is no need for such trouble."

   The conditions for using taboos are relatively strict. Even Qingchen is thinking about a problem this month. His marionette has not yet completed the monthly containment conditions.

  If it wasn't too dangerous tonight, he might also enter the buildings on both sides of Shendai Fengqing Street and fight with the killers.

  Qing Chen sent a message to Yan Chunmi: "Lucky information."

  Yan Chunmi came back with a document: "Boss, you finally remembered me. The information is all here, but Qingyuan hasn't been found yet. This kid hides it deep."

  Qing Chen replied: "Keep looking."

  He opened the document, and he had to say that Yan Chunmi's work ability is absolutely strong. She actually separated the lucky events and bad luck events that happened around her in a table.

   Homicide incidents, wounding incidents, etc. have also been distinguished in detail.

   Even, arrange these events according to time, and mark the same time when the events happened, thank you for what you are doing.

   I have to say that the Secret Agents and Falcons of the Secret Service Division are more powerful than expected, at least not comparable to those of the PCA Federal CIA.

  Of course, Qinghua and Yang Xuyang also have their advantages, that is, they are more loyal to Qingchen.

   Qing Chen and his Harrier Falcon are more like a cooperative relationship, but Qing Hua and the others are his people.

  Qing Chen stopped thinking about it and carefully analyzed the information in the file.

  At this time, Qing's shadow suddenly saw that Qing Chen, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stood still, and he didn't bother him.

"It's fortunate that he even became a shadow candidate because of his 'lucky aura'. Originally, his brother was supposed to participate, but when his brother was suddenly prostituted, he was made a fairy dance, which caused his parents to be very disappointed with his brother, so chose him."

   "In these materials, the victims of the homicide incidents all had close contact with Xing Xing, while the victims of the wounding incidents had less frequent contact with Xing Xing."

   "Assuming that the other party really has such a notebook that can write fate, then I guess fortunately when writing fate, the 'strength' of this fate depends on how much he knows the target."

   "For example, if you only write down your name, you can arrange a wounding incident, and if you write your name and date of birth, you can write a murder incident."

   Qing's shadow looked at Qing Chen in surprise: "Then what should I say after picking up so much money, 3491 people lost money, and he might not even know the names of these people."

Qing Chen said: "This shows that he can also arrange his own destiny, write down his name and birthday, and then let him go out to pick up money. I noticed that, fortunately, in the second year after the Lucky Halo incident, he suddenly started to learn Painting. But he only learned to draw and draw."

"Ordinary people learn painting, how can they only learn sketching? If they don't learn and give up halfway, they will most likely continue to learn some oil paint, gouache and other skills, but fortunately they only learned sketching. According to Yan Chunmi's information, Fortunately, I didn’t learn halfway and give up halfway, and now I still go out to sketch occasionally.”

   "Then I guess, this painting technique is probably related to this writing of fate. He may not be writing fate, but drawing the fate of others."

  Of course, all of this is just Qing Chen's guesswork, but he firmly believes that the so-called aura of luck on Qing Xing's body must be man-made, not real destiny.

  Qingchen looked at the shadow: "You can find the information that Yan Chunmi can find, and you can think of the things I can think of. You have to keep it from me, is it interesting?"

"Interesting," Shadow laughed, "But I really don't know what the thing in his hand is, and so far, it seems that the taboo thing doesn't have the ability to exert great damage, so I'm not interested in going to see it." Tube."

   "Even if it doesn't have much lethality, it is still a good taboo. Have you ever thought about using it for yourself? Arranging the fate of others seems to be a very interesting thing," Qing Chen said.

Shadow shook his head and smiled, "Fortunately, I'm from the Qing family. There's no reason to rob my children's toys. To you, he is your competitor, but to me, all shadow candidates are reasonable. are equal."

  Qing Chen nodded: "So, fortunately, I should have two taboos on my body now."

   One was obtained during the first round of the shadow battle, and the other was lucky to be able to write fate on his body.

  The first known loot of the War of Shadows is the Forbidden Item ACE-054: Worn Matchbox.

  According to the information given by Lin Xiaoxiao, a match will be generated out of thin air in this matchbox every day. After being lit, the fire will reflect the person I want to see the most at the moment, and see what the other person is doing.

  When Qingchen saw the introduction of the taboo ACE-054, he thought, who robbed the little match seller?

  The little match girl is too miserable.

  Of course, what is even worse is the extraordinary person who precipitated this taboo. If the ability is to light a match and see the person you want to see, then this combat power is not even as good as a "wild monster"...

  The taboo ACE-054 is relatively tasteless, but it is still a taboo.

  Qing Chen suddenly became interested in this Qing Xing.

  At this time, he recalled an extremely small detail in Yan Chunmi's information.

   There are tens of thousands of words in the information, but that sentence only occupies a small part: I am glad to be sick.

  The important thing is not these four words, but the time marked next to these four words.

  Qing Chen only felt that this time was so familiar... It just happened to be the first day he arrived at Prison No. 18 after crossing.

   This made Qing Chen frowned, is it fortunate that he is also a time traveler?

  Not sure, but questionable.

   Fortunately, he was in city No. 10 when he fell ill. That is to say, if the other party is a time traveler, it should be a Zhengcheng native.

  Qing Chen asked: "Mr. Shadow, you actually already guessed that Xing Xing's ability comes from taboos, right? Even the great figures of the Qing family should be able to think of it."

   "This is not important, the important thing is what he can do with this," Shadow said with a smile: "I have noticed the details you noticed, so do you guess that he is a time traveler?"

   "He's not," Qing Chen shook his head and said, "This document contains the paintings of Qing Xing in different periods. First of all, it is not easy to draw sketches to the level of Xing Xing. Secondly, his painting style has not changed before and after his illness."

   "I don't know if he is, but I know that among the remaining shadow candidates, one is... Oh, except you," the shadow laughed.

  Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, there was another one?

who?

  Is that Qing Yuan who has been missing?

  Qing Yuan is not a native of City 10, but City 19. But after the other party came here, he couldn't even find the spy's Harrier Falcon. This shows that there is an organization behind him to assist him.

   Maybe it was the power of Qingyuan's parents behind him, but it is also possible that it was the power of the time traveler organization in Taicheng, the watch world!

At this time, Shadow got up: "You have a guest again. The small broken house is actually quite lively. I'm leaving. After choosing the trading location, I have to tell me tomorrow at the latest. I have to make preparations in advance. "

   "Well, yes, before 6 o'clock tomorrow night, I will send you the selected trading place and the reason for the choice," Qing Chen nodded.

  The next moment, the shadow opened the door of shadow, and there was a knock on the door outside the house.

  Qing Chen opened the door, but saw Su Xingzhi standing outside the door furtively. The other party changed from the white suit to casual clothes.

   Not to mention, this guy is more cautious than Li Dongze, maybe because his level of strength is not as high as Li Dongze's.

  Su Xingzhi also didn't see the outside, and directly squeezed into the door: "Little boss, I see you again, it seems that you are not surprised to see me at all!"

   "It's really not a surprise," Qing Chen closed the door. From the moment Li Dongze appeared in the Utopia Building, he knew that he would see Su Xingzhi here sooner or later.

  These two people perfectly explained the term 'involution'.

  Qing Chen looked at Su Xingzhi: "Where's your glutinous rice balls, didn't you bring them?"

   "How could I bring quick-frozen food to cook for the little boss?" Su Xingzhi said righteously: "Li Dongze must have brought quick-frozen food, I'm different from him."

   While speaking, Su Xingzhi entered the kitchen carrying a black bag, tied an apron skillfully on himself, and then... started making dough!

   There are meat, leeks, onions, ginger, and garlic in the bag, which are luxury items that only the rich can eat in the city.

   What ordinary people can eat is synthetic protein bars, and then rely on multivitamin tablets that cost a few dollars to achieve nutritional balance.

  I saw Su Xingzhi chopping meat stuffing, cutting leeks, and rolling out dumpling wrappers like flowing water, all done in less than half an hour.

  During the period, this guy actually washed his hands and took selfies from time to time, recording the process of making dumplings.

   "Why are you filming this?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

"To save Li Dongze from slandering me for bringing ready-made dumpling wrappers and dumpling stuffing," Su Xingzhi said seriously, "Little boss, you don't know that Li Dongze is not a good person, obviously I made an appointment with him first I got up to visit you in City No. 10, but he actually sneaked here alone, this man has a dark heart!"

  Qing Chen went back to the living room and waited, thinking that this was the time to slander each other again.

   Not long after, Su Xingzhi came out with dumplings: "Little boss, let's take a photo together."

   Without waiting for Qing Chen to refuse, he sat next to him and pressed the camera button on his mobile phone.

  But Su Xingzhi seems to be more careful than Li Dongze, and has more drama.

  After he finished shooting, he always felt that something was missing, so he went back to the kitchen, wiped some flour on his face and took another picture.

   It looks more like work has just been done.

"Okay, take your time, little boss. My way of making dumplings is absolutely unique, and it's absolutely different from the quick-frozen food Li Dongze bought!" Su Xingzhi said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, please tell me, I'm in city 10 There are also people on the black market."

"By the way," Su Xingzhi said as if remembering something: "That Luo Wanya is your man. The Mechanic God sent a cardinal to the 18th city to arrest him, but he was not found. But little boss you He must be reminded here that the Adeptus Mechanicus's technological means are quite evil, and it will be a matter of time to find him, so before the foundation is not deep, it is better to go to other places to avoid the limelight."

  The struggle between the family members and the Mechanic God has been going on all the time. The Mechanic God has raised this matter to the highest level of crisis and treated it like a dispute of faith.

   What makes the Mechanicus Cult like a formidable enemy is not only the speed of the spread of the "family members", but also the emergence of a group of backbone practitioners among the "family members".

  The growth rate of this group of backbone practitioners is extremely fast, so fast that the cardinals of the Mechanicus believe that there is a consortium behind this matter silently supporting it.

  The family members were very wronged, they just returned to a warm family, who provoked whom?

   Qing Chen glanced at Su Xingzhi: "Thank you for reminding me, I will make arrangements here."

  He thinks that Luo Wanya, the local snake in Los Angeles, is a talent, and the Mechanicus is such a powerful force that even the cardinal himself can't catch him in the 10th city.

   It’s no wonder that this product was able to slip through the net in a society ruled by law in the watch world back then.

  It turns out that what the other party is best at is running away and avoiding the limelight...

  Now that the Mechanicus is focusing on City 18, it is better to let Luo Wanya come to City 10 to develop and develop more flowers, so as to spread the word.

  Now the family members definitely cannot contend with the Mechanicus.

  But Luo Wanya from the watch world must be no stranger to guerrilla warfare.

   "By the way, which consortium is behind the Mechanicus?" Qing Chen asked.

  Su Xingzhi thought for a while: "It's hard to say, I'm afraid Jindai, Kashima, and the Chen family all have a share."

  …

  …

   Countdown 7 days.

  Qing Chen finally has the sense of urgency he used to travel through. In the remaining seven days, he still has too many things to do.

  Including returning to the watch world after 7 days, he also has new plans, such as completing the next life-and-death challenge.

   During this period of time, he has been immersed in the mysterious world of "convincing people with virtue" during his daily rest time, preparing for the challenge of life and death.

  Qing Chen has stayed at D-level for too long. Although his sniper level has given him the ability to snipe and kill B-level, but now his sniper ability has become a symbol of his identification, and he can no longer be easily used.

   Moreover, being too dependent on external objects is not a good thing.

  So, according to what Qing Chen thinks, if the return time this time is also 30 days, it will be enough for him to complete a transformation and take a long journey.

   Now it seems that he seems like a fish in water in City 10, turning the intelligence community upside down.

   But what if Shadow didn't help him last night? Is he in danger?

   Must improve strength.

  He is ready for the next life-and-death challenge.

  When he arrived at the first intelligence building, Qingchen saw in surprise that Qingyi was already sitting in the office, and all the agents had eaten the snacks he had worked so hard to memorize.

   "Hey, there is no bodyguard outside the door, have you learned to keep a low profile today?" Qing Chen asked curiously.

Qing Yi said in a low voice with a little embarrassment: "Before, it was to cover up, so I deliberately pretended to be exaggerated, so that everyone can relax their vigilance towards me. Now that I have you, sir, I don't have to act. The elder brothers and sisters in the intelligence department are disgusted with me."

   "You're a big kid," Qing Chen patted Qing Yi on the head: "Come to my office, you practice on the sofa when I'm working, and I'll teach you the second breathing technique."

  Thinking of this, Qing Chen took another look at the intelligence personnel in the big office. Most of these people were just genetic soldiers who had received one or two injections of genetic medicine.

  The role of the agents is actually the uniform they wear, and their hard power is not very good.

  Although the Qing Corporation allocates a little genetic medicine to this side every year, not everyone can get along with it. After all, too many people in the Qing Corporation are waiting for the genetic medicine, and the Federal Army is the one that uses the most genetic medicine.

  So, Qing Chen felt that since the agents had returned to their hearts, they could improve their strength.

   Entering the office, Qing said in a low voice, "Sir, Mr. Shadow has finally given us the first small task of the third round of the Shadow War."

   "Is there only one small task?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

   "Yes, the experts under his command contacted us and said that whoever can win this small task can get some advantages in the next task," Qingyi said.

  Qing Chen sighed, last night Shadow didn't mention any tasks to him at all.

  I am a shadow candidate, and I don't look like a candidate at all.

   "What is the mission?" Qing Chen asked.

"Find the mastermind behind the attack on Shendai Fengqing Street last night," Qingyi explained: "Mr. Shadow said that the mastermind has not been arrested yet. Many killers escaped last night. We need to catch them all." Come back. A total of 12 killers escaped, and a total of 13 including the mastermind behind the scenes. The first candidate to catch more than six killers, or directly capture the mastermind behind the scenes, will be considered the winner."

   "Understood," Qing Chen nodded, "Okay, let's start practicing."

   After finishing speaking, he squeezed Qingyi's wrist, ready to put Qingyi into the concentration of the second breathing technique.

  Qing was taken aback for a moment: "Sir, wait a minute, do you have other things to do?"

  He was thinking that Qing Chen promised him to help him win the third round of the Shadow War, but now it seems that the other party has no intention of making a move.

  Qing Chen shook his head: "No, I have to wait for two days."

   "Then why don't we catch those killers now?" Qing Yi asked curiously, "I'm not urging you, actually it doesn't matter whether we catch them or not, I'm just curious."

  Qing Chen smiled: "What's the rush, let the bullets fly for a while."

  …

  5,000-word chapter, there is another chapter at 11:00 p.m.

   Looking for a guaranteed monthly pass in October!
