Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 442 Heartbeat

   Countdown 719:00:00.

   Another 30-day time travel period, presumably the next return should also be 30 days, many time travelers equipped with mechanical limbs, I am afraid that they have to start thinking about how to charge.

  Qing Chen returned to the 112th floor of the Utopia Building alone.

  When he opened the door, he knew that the shadow was already inside.

  The fragrance of Jingjing camellia came out as soon as the door was opened.

   King Chuang said that the other party held a family meeting in the Ginkgo Manor in City 5, and faced criticism from the big bosses of the Qing family.

   If King Chuang is not lying, then the real horror of this Shadow Gate is that it has no distance limit.

  As long as it is a place you have been to, you can reach it.

  Qing Chen walked into the room, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger as he walked: "As far as I know, you should be in City 5 now."

  The room was quiet, there was no sound at all.

  Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, he looked at the shadow lying on the sofa, who was wearing a black mask and black peaked cap, as if he was asleep.

  However, Qing Chen couldn't hear the other party's breathing, not even a heartbeat.

   This made Qing Chen feel something was wrong.

  Even if the shadow can hold its breath, why doesn’t it even have a heartbeat?

   died.

  Qing Chen frowned, he didn't believe that a generation of shadows would die so lonely in his own room.

   Do you want to take this time to take off the other party's mask and see the other party's face?

never mind.

   Maybe the other party comes back to life, and I will be silenced.

  Qing Chen calmly moved a chair from the dining room, waiting for the other party to wake up.

   I don't know how long it will be.

   A bang.

  As if the drumstick hit the drum again, Shadow's heartbeat revived.

Shadow smiled and sat up: "You are too heartless. Seeing me lying here without a heartbeat, you don't even want to see if something happened to me? I guess you hesitated and wondered if you should take a look at me. looks."

   "You love to play too much, don't you?" Qing Chen sighed, "Run here to make tea in the middle of the night, and then pretend to be dead?"

   "The meaning of life is to be happy," Shadow laughed.

  Qing Chen thought for a while and said, "You directly use the ability to manipulate the passage of time on yourself, right? So much so that the interval between each heartbeat is as long as several minutes."

   But there is a little problem with this.

  The average human heartbeat is about 75 times per minute, so that means that the ability of the shadow to stretch the passage of time can stretch a second to a few minutes.

  In this kind of absolute time, who can beat the shadow?

   Waiting for you to make a move, I am afraid that the shadow will have already lifted your ashes...

  Shadow didn't answer Qing Chen's question.

   Qingchen looked at the other party and was suddenly startled.

   Just now, the shadow really fell into some kind of near-death state, right? This reminded Qing Chen of what the other party always said that he didn't have much time.

  Qing Chen asked doubtfully, "Are you really short of lifespan?"

  Shadow shook his head: "Don't worry, my life is still long, at least two or three years."

  Qing Chen instinctively felt something was wrong.

  Can shadows tell the truth? He doesn't think so.

  Then there are two possibilities, one is that the other party's time is much longer than two or three years, and it is very likely that two or three hundred years will not be a problem.

   Another possibility is that the lifespan of the shadow is not even two or three years old.

   But he can't let people know he's running out of time.

  At a certain moment, Qing Chen's answer was even more inclined to the latter.

  Just because Shadow always has a sense of urgency when arranging his affairs.

   Eager to hand over the hearts and minds of the intelligence system to him, even at the expense of revealing something, eager to let Qing Chen enter the game, he did not hesitate to come to chat with Qing Chen many times, and promised that when Qing Chen became a shadow, he would give him forbidden things.

  According to Shadow's usual behavior and habits, where is the need so urgent?

  Qing Chen looked at the shadow: "How much time do you have?"

  Shadow smiled: "Didn't I tell you everything, at least two or three years away."

  Qing Chen didn't ask any more questions, he asked calmly: "I heard that you were reprimanded at the family meeting?"

  Ying Ying said with a smile: "Your news is a bit well-informed. Who told you that there is also your internal response in the Qing family? Terrible!"

  Qing Chen thought for a while and said, "A time traveler told us that you supported the intelligence department's transaction of Qing Mu, which has made many big figures in the Qing family dissatisfied."

Shadow shook his head: "Nothing, you don't have to think about it, you just need to take Qingmu home. Remember, the transaction time is set to be 20 days later, and the transaction will be completed in No. 065 Forbidden Land. As for how to make it go smoothly Take Qingmu home, this is something you need to consider."

   "Wait," Qing Chen was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to send experts here? None of my agents are experts. If you don't give them experts, how can I get Qing Mu back?"

  Shadow thought for a while: "Qing Ye and the others have a mission to leave, you should figure out a way for yourself."

  Qing Chen: "???"

  How can I figure out a way for myself!

  Shadow said: "Don't worry, the Jindai family will not send out masters."

   "Why?" Qing Chen asked suspiciously.

  Shadow said indifferently: "They are now worried that the transaction of Qingmu is a fake, but I actually set up a trick to kill their masters."

  Qing Chen understood.

  Qing Mu has been in the north for more than ten years, but no one said they would take him home.

  After more than ten years, Shadow suddenly said that he wanted to take Qingmu home, and Shendai's first reaction was... deceitful.

   On the other side of Jindai, a Shendai Yunshan was just killed by that old man of the Li family.

  Now, what they are more worried about is whether the shadow of the Qing family will also want to set up a game to wipe out their high-end individual combat power.

  So, the other party will not send A-level masters over.

"But even if we don't send A-levels, we will send some B-level genetic fighters," Qing Chen said earnestly, "The highest level under me is a D-level, and I am only a C-level, how can I get past a bunch of genetic fighters? "

   "Grade B genetic warriors are not some kind of rotten street thing," Shadow said dumbfounded: "The Shendai family only sent eight people as important as Li Changqing to assassinate, and many of them died. Don't worry, I believe in your ability."

  Qing Chen felt strange and said, "Why do I feel that you might just want me to encounter some danger?"

"Nothing," Shadow said with a smile, "I'm here to help you grow up. In the process of a man's growth, he always has to face some pressure. I'm not the same as Li Shutong. He protected you very well before. I hope You are carefree and even want you to go back to school. But I am different. I know how cruel the world is. If you want to grow up faster, you have to go through countless dangers. .”

  Qing Chen froze for a moment.

  In this sentence, there is actually a vague reference to the urgency of time. Shadow hopes that he can grow up quickly, so he does not hesitate to take the initiative to create danger for him.

  But why does the other party want him to grow up quickly?

   Because of the shadow time, is it really running out?

  Qing Chen said: "Then what if I die in danger."

  Shadow said: "That is your life."

   "Okay," Qing Chen sighed, it seems that Qing Mu really has to rely on himself for this transaction.

   It has to be said that both Ying Ying and Li Shutong are doing it for his own good, but their methods are completely different.

  One is to hope that he can regain the happy time he lost.

  The other is to hope that he will have the capital and will to survive in this troubled world sooner.

  The former protects him, while the latter allows him to face danger alone.

At this moment, Shadow took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that your parent association just raided the Mechanicus in city 18 and kidnapped a cardinal? When Luo Wanya came to city 10, I thought you were going to avoid the sharp edge temporarily, but you avoided it and directly captured a cardinal."

  Qing Chen: "...It was actually an accident."

   Sure enough, Luo Wanya came to City No. 10, and the relationship between Luo Wanya and Bai Zhou couldn't hide from this shadow.

Shadow said: "The matter of the parents' meeting is raging now. To be honest, this is the first time that the Mechanicus has been insulted like this, and someone snatched the cardinal and the red deacon from the headquarters... I feel happy when I think about it. "

   To say that the Mechanicus is unlucky enough, city 18 seems to have become their black hole.

  First, a sub-helm was abducted, and then a cardinal and a deacon in red were also abducted.

   Now some people are teasing, will the Pope come in person, and then the Pope will also be abducted? Will the Pope be afraid to go to the 18th city because of this?

  Everyone knows that the Mechanicus and the Parents' Association are already in an endless situation.

   But everyone is wondering who exactly established this parents' association. From the time it appeared to the kidnapping of the cardinal, it has only been a short period of one or two months.

  In such a short period of time, has such a terrifying influence and cohesion?

The shadow glanced at Qing Chen: "Just wait, the Mechanicus is going to get angry this time, and I'm afraid it's going to be a real fire. Although these monsters and monsters who pretend to be gods and ghosts can't get on the stage, they still have some tricks hidden behind their backs. Shi and people from Kashima are also among them. I want to see how you plan to solve this matter."

The shadow continued: "You let Luo Wanya hide better in City 10, don't think that you can start a war with the Mechanicus when you are on your own territory, they will be able to find out Luo Wanya's whereabouts soon, and then come here …Of course, if you ask me, I can help you with this Mechanicus."

  Qing Chen thought for a while and said: "Obviously you also want to clean up this Mechanicus, and you still acted like you planned to negotiate terms with me."

  Shadow nodded: "Yes, I really want to clean them up."

  Qing Chen said: "You want to clean them up, don't you plan to do something?"

  Shadow: "I did, I asked the informant to tell them that Luo Wanya has come to City 10."

  Qing Chen: "...you can be an individual."

  He can imagine that the big figures of Mechanicus will flock to him next.

  At this time, the followers of the Mechanicus in City No. 10 have already begun to mobilize all forces to find traces of the Parents' Association.
