Night’s Nomenclature Chapter 440: Heartbeat
Countdown to 719:00:00.
It's another thirty days of time travel, and the next time we return must be thirty days too. Many time walkers equipped with mechanical limbs may have to start thinking about how to recharge their batteries.
Qingchen returned to the 112th floor of Utopia Building alone.
When he opened the door, he knew that the shadow was already inside.
The scent of Jingshan tea comes out as soon as you open the door.
Chuang Wang said that the other party was holding a family meeting in the Ginkgo Manor in City No. 5, facing the censure of the Qing family bosses.
If King Chuang is not lying, then the real horror of this Shadow Gate is that it has no distance limit.
As long as you have been to any place before, you can reach it.
Qingchen 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 No. 5 now."
The room was quiet, with no sound at all.
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He looked at the shadow lying on the sofa. He was wearing a black mask and a black peaked cap, as if he was asleep.
However, Qingchen couldn't hear a single breath from the other party, not even a heartbeat.
This made Qingchen feel something was wrong.
Even if the shadow can hold its breath, why does it not even have a heartbeat?
Dead?
Qingchen frowned, he didn't believe that the shadow of the first generation would die so lonely in his own room.
Should you take this moment to take off the other person’s mask and see their face?
Forget it.
Maybe if the other party comes back to life, he will be silenced.
Qingchen calmly moved a chair from the restaurant and waited for the other party to wake up.
I don’t know how long it will take.
A thud.
As if the drumstick was beating on the drum again, the shadow's heartbeat revived.
Shadow sat up with a smile: "Are you too heartless? You saw me lying here without even a heartbeat, and you didn't even check to see if I was in trouble? I guess you have hesitated and debated whether to do it or not. Take a look at what I look like."
"You are too playful," Qingchen sighed: "You come 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 said with a smile.
Qingchen thought for a while and said: "You directly used your ability to control the passage of time on yourself, right? So that the interval between each heartbeat is as long as several minutes."
But there is a problem.
The average human heartbeat is about 75 times per minute, which means that the shadow's ability to stretch the passage of time can stretch one second to several minutes.
In this absolute time, who can defeat the shadow?
By the time you take action, I’m afraid the shadows will have already spread your ashes...
Shadow did not answer Qingchen’s question.
Qingchen looked at the other party and was suddenly startled.
Did Shadow really fall into a state of near-death just now? This reminded Qingchen of what the other party always said about him not having much time.
Qingchen asked doubtfully: "Do you really not have much life left?"
Shadow shook his head: "Don't worry, I still have a long life, at least two or three years."
Qingchen instinctively felt something was wrong.
Can Shadow 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. It is very likely that living for two or three hundred years will not be a problem.
Another possibility is that Shadow's lifespan is no longer even two or three years.
But he can't let others know that he has no time.
At a certain moment, the answer in Qingchen's heart was even more inclined to the latter.
Just because Shadow always has a sense of urgency when arranging his affairs.
Eager to give him the hearts and minds of the intelligence system, he even did not hesitate to expose something, anxious to get Qingchen into the game, he did not hesitate to chat with Qingchen many times, and promised to give away forbidden objects when Qingchen became a shadow. give him.
According to Shadow's daily behavior and habits, why is there such an urgent need?
Qingchen looked at Shadow: "How much time do you have?"
Shadow smiled: "Didn't I tell you? It's at least two or three years away."
Qingchen asked no more questions, and asked calmly: "I heard that you were criticized at the family meeting?"
Shadow said with a smile: "You are quite well informed. Who told you this? Could it be that you also have an inside job within the Qing family? That's incredible!"
Qingchen thought for a while and said: "A time traveler told us that you supported the Intelligence Department's transaction of Qingmu, which has made many important figures in the Qing family dissatisfied."
Shadow shook his head: "Nothing, you don't have to think about these things, 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 the Forbidden Land No. 065. As for How can you successfully take Qingmu home? This is something you need to consider."
"Wait a minute," Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you send experts? These agents under my command are not experts. If you don't send experts, how can I replace Qingmu?"
Shadow thought for a while: "Qingye and the others have left on a mission. You can think of a solution yourself."
Qingchen: "???"
How can I figure it out on my own!
Shadow said: "Don't worry, the Jindai family will not send out experts."
"Why?" Qingchen asked suspiciously.
Shadow said calmly: "They are now worried that the Qingmu deal was fake. In fact, I set up a trap and planned to kill their master."
Qingchen understood.
Qingmu has been in the north for more than ten years, and no one has said anything about taking him home.
More than ten years later, Shadow suddenly said that he wanted to take Qingmu home. Kamidai's first reaction was... it was a scam.
On the Jindai side, a Jindai spruce was just tricked to death by the old man Li.
Now, what they are more worried about is whether the shadow of the Qing family also wants to set up a game to eliminate their high-end individual combat capabilities.
So, the other party will not send A-level experts over.
"But even if we don't send A-level, we will send some B-level genetic warriors," Qingchen said seriously: "The highest level under me is a D-level, and I am only C-level, how can I get through a lot of them?" Gene warrior?"
"B-class genetic warriors are not just bad people," Shadow said, dumbfounded: "The Shendai family only sent eight people to assassinate such an important person as Li Changqing, and a lot of them died. Don't worry, I believe in your ability. ”
Qingchen felt strange and said: "Why do I think you might just want me to be in some danger?"
"It's nothing," Shadow said with a smile: "I'm here to help you grow. In the process of growing up, a man always has to face some pressure. Li Shutong and I are different. 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 this world is. If you want to grow up faster, you must experience it countless times. It’s dangerous.”
Qingchen was stunned for a moment.
This sentence actually implicitly mentions the urgency of time. Shadow hopes that he can grow 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?
Is it because Shadow’s time is really running out?
Qingchen said: "What if I die in danger."
The shadow said: "That is your life."
"Okay," Qingchen sighed. It seemed that he really had to rely on himself for this transaction with Qingmu.
It has to be said that both Shadow and Li Shutong are actually doing it for his own good, but their methods are completely different.
One is hoping that he can regain the happy time he lost.
The other is hoping that he will have the capital and will to survive in this troubled world as soon as possible.
The former protects him, while the latter lets him face danger alone.
At this time, Shadow took a sip of tea and said: "I heard that your parent-teacher association just raided the Mechanicum in City 18 and kidnapped a cardinal? Luo Wanya came to City 10 At the time, I thought you were going to avoid the edge for a while, but in the end, you avoided it and directly captured a cardinal."
Qingchen: "...Actually, it was also an accident."
Sure enough, Luo Wanya's arrival in City No. 10 and the relationship between Luo Wanya and Bai Zhou could not be hidden from this shadow.
Shadow said: "The parent-teacher conference is currently in a commotion. To be honest, this is the first time that the Mechanicus has been humiliated like this. A cardinal and a red deacon were snatched away from the headquarters... Think about it. I feel happy."
To say that the Mechanicum is quite unlucky, City 18 seems to have become their black hole.
First a helmsman was abducted, then a cardinal and a cardinal deacon were also abducted.
Some people are now joking, will the Pope come in person and then be abducted? Will the Pope not dare to go to City 18 because of this?
Everyone knows that the Cult Mechanicus and the Parents' Association are already in a fight to the death.
But everyone is confused as to who founded this parent-teacher association ~IndoMTL.com~. From its appearance to the kidnapping of the cardinal, it has only been a short one or two months.
In such a short period of time, it has already had such terrifying influence and cohesion?
The shadow glanced at Qingchen: "Just wait, the Mechanicus is going to be angry this time, and I'm afraid it's going to get really angry. Although these demons and monsters who are pretending to be gods and ghosts can't come to the surface, they still have some tricks hidden behind their backs. Yes, people from the Chen family and Kashima are also among them. I would like to see how you plan to resolve this matter."
Shadow continued: "Tell Luo Wanya to hide better in City No. 10. Don't think that you can start a war with the Mechanicus on your own territory. They will soon be able to find out Luo Wanya's whereabouts. Then come here... Of course, if you ask me, I can help you deal with this Mechanicus."
Qingchen thought for a while and said: "You obviously want to deal with this Mechanicus Cult, and you still pretend to be willing to negotiate terms with me."
Shadow nodded: "Yes, I do want to deal with them."
Qingchen said: "You want to deal with them, aren't you going to do something?"
Shadow: "I did it. I asked the informant to tell them that Luo Wanya came to City No. 10."
Qingchen: "...You can be a human being."
He could imagine that the big shots from the Mechanicus would probably swarm here next.
At this time, the Mechanicum members in City No. 10 have begun to mobilize all their efforts to find traces of the Parents' Association.
