Four hundred and sixty, the aftermath of the disaster
The snow above the sky is flying like goose feathers.
It fell on the hair and shoulders of Shadow and Qingchen.
Qingchen feels very lucky.
Even though life in the outside world was so hard, he still felt that he was very lucky.
Li Shutong, Li Xiurui, Shadow.
Although these three people have different styles of acting, they are all trying to help him understand the world in their own way.
And teach him how to get along with the world.
Someone gave him the farthest path between forbidden objects and the human world.
Someone is facing the morning sun on the cliff of a green mountain, telling others what is the most precious thing in this life.
Someone used practical actions to help him win over people's hearts and forcefully promoted him to the most powerful position in the federation. .
Shadow walked to the lakeside and found a black stone to sit down. He looked at the snowy lake and said: "Qingchen, one day you will have to face all this by yourself, just like the road on the cliff of the green mountain. Before 599 The seniors will guide you for the first meter, but no one can help you for the last meter."
Qingchen was startled.
He suddenly looked at the shadow, his pupils suddenly contracted.
If you are not a knight, how can you know all this? !
In fact, many people know the road to heaven, but only those who have actually walked it once can understand what is the most difficult part.
Only then did I know the last meter.
Shadow smiled: "Don't look at me like this. I'm not a knight, because I didn't jump out of the last meter. The path of a knight is to select the companions. Walking the same road, even if the identities, origins, and personalities are different, They are different, but as long as they go through it, they will come together. This is the wonderful thing about the knight's road. In the early years, the knights were more loosely organized. They would tell many people about this road and encourage them to walk it. I don’t worry about the organization’s secrets being leaked. And you and I are destined to be different people. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t jump out. I used my hook to get up the last meter. I don’t want to risk my life, I like to have everything under control. Take control.”
Shadow continued: "So, you are willing to show your sincerity to Keiichi in the hope that he will never betray you, and I will use means to conquer his loyalty."
Qingchen fell silent.
He knew how desperate everyone was when facing that last meter, so he said that Hu Xiaoniu was actually very powerful, because this member of the White House could not even fully digest the ginkgo.
Everyone in the day has potential, and one day the day will definitely grow into a towering tree. All Qingchen has to do is be patient enough and wait for the result.
Qingchen didn't expect that Shadow almost became a knight.
Therefore, the transaction with Li Shutong was because Shadow had actually known Li Shutong for a long time.
Very few people seem to know about this.
At this time, Shadow said with a smile: "No need to guess, you still lack too much key information on many things, so blind analysis will also be wrong."
"Your situation is actually very bad," Qingchen sat on the black stone on the shore of the lake and whispered: "I watched a documentary called Animal World in the outer world. When the lion was in his prime, the hyena I don’t dare to provoke at will.”
However, when the male lion gets old, or becomes sick or injured, the hyenas will slowly surround him as if they have smelled the smell of carrion.
It was a test at first, but once he found that the lion was really unable to resist, he would pounce on him and bite him.
In this incident, Qingchen originally thought that Shadow was trying to use him to lure the power of the Jindai family.
But unexpectedly, the shadow targeted the Qing family's internal staff.
Qingchen could regard what was happening now as a test.
Those hyenas were already surrounding Shadow, giving Qingchen a hint of danger.
If the shadow is still the shadow of its heyday, how can those people dare to test it?
Qingchen continued: "So when this tiny temptation first appeared, you personally put out the flames with a thunderous gesture. It shows that you are actually worried in your heart. If you allow this flame to grow, it may make the fire grow stronger." The stronger the fever, the more proud the hyenas become.”
Qingchen's judgment was that Shadow's situation was actually very bad, otherwise the other party wouldn't have to take these little miscellaneous fish seriously.
Where do I need to come in person?
Shadow sat next to him and smiled: "I've thought about a lot, but not everything is right."
Qingchen asked: "I'm very curious. You are about to leave office. Why are they still trying so hard to test you? They have already waited for ten years. What will happen if they wait for another two years?"
Shadow smiled and waved: "Okay, you don't have to worry about these things."
Qingchen thought for a while and said, "If I succeed in trading Qingmu this time, what will happen next?"
Shadow said with a smile: "Things will happen that the leaders of various factions least want to see. You will be the most suitable to take over the Qing's Secret Intelligence Department. Even if I step down by then, the leader of the Secret Intelligence Department will still be mine. People. This way, they won’t be able to manipulate me at will. Remember, within the Qing clan, you can’t trust anyone but me.”
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. No one could believe this, including those Harriers, Shadow Candidates, and the head of the family.
"Why can I trust you?" Qingchen suddenly asked.
Shadow thought for a while: "This question really bothered me, maybe because... I have no need to deceive you."
After saying that, Shadow stood up, swept away the snow on his body, and walked towards the camp: "You are now considered a very popular person. I heard that many people came to the Qing family to propose marriage. I originally wanted to arrange a new course for you. Marriage, so that you can get some other help, but now I feel like you won’t agree, so forget it..."
Qingchen: "???"
Why is there such a weird thing?
Someone went to the Qing family to propose marriage to him? !
who? !
The camp after the crisis was a mess.
The crew all stood in a panic, looking around blankly, as if they were lucky to have survived the disaster, or as if they were at a loss after just experiencing the disaster.
The virtual life movie will definitely not be made. The director is dead and several shooting machines were damaged by stray bullets.
Who can bear to go out to make a movie and end up losing the director?
At this time, Qingchen changed his appearance, walked to the camp, looked at Sun Chuci and asked, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Sun Chuci shook his head: "No."
Qingchen looked at Qingyi again: "Next, you should go directly to the small town outside the Forbidden Land No. 065. I'm afraid all the teams will stop there for a while."
Qing nodded: "Okay sir... what about you, where are you going?"
Qingchen smiled: "I plan to act alone and stay in the team, which may affect your safety."
The shadow stood in the camp and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am the shadow of the Qing family. Now please cooperate and lie down on the ground and don't talk. We are about to evacuate."
His seven subordinates stood around sternly, silently like statues in a temple, while Director Zhou's people were all captured and their hands were bound with special black handcuffs.
The crew members were a little confused.
This is...the legendary shadow?
They actually saw that mysterious shadow? !
But why did they lie on the ground when the shadows evacuated?
Yan Chunmi was the first to do so. When she first took action, she just used her ability, and no one knew her true identity.
If the first person in the camp does it, others will follow.
Qingchen thought, this Yan Chunmi must have gone through life and death with Shadow many times, otherwise Shadow would never have brought her here for this operation.
And he won't arrange for her to assist him.
After everyone was lying on the ground, Shadow looked at Qingchen with a smile and silently motioned for him to lie down too with his eyes.
Qingchen was a little strange, what was he doing?
The next moment, the field worker Zhou Cang quietly got up from the ground and stood beside the shadow.
And standing in the heavy snow, he took off his coat and gave it to Qingchen.
Qingchen understood that the other party knew that he would continue to sneak into the small town outside the forbidden land No. 065, so he found the best identity for himself:
This crew has been severely damaged. Who would notice a miserable stage worker who was almost killed?
It’s just that Qingchen is a little confused, why are Shadow’s informants everywhere? Are there people from the other party in this crew?
Moreover, Zhou Cang had obviously known his identity before, so the shadow informant had been silently watching him act.
Qingchen looked at Zhou Cang and saw him smiling honestly at him...
Qingchen: "..."
This Zhou Cang is similar in stature and height to himself, which shows that Shadow has already arranged the follow-up things for himself.
All of this is within the other party's plan.
However, the crew should not continue going north to the small town now. After this incident, everyone's first choice must be to drive directly back to City No. 10, right?
Qingchen couldn't figure it out, but he chose to believe in the shadow.
He silently put on Zhou Cang's clothes, then lay down in the snow, changing his appearance to Zhou Cang's.
At this time, Shadow smiled at everyone and said: "Everyone, I am destined to meet you here. I hope that those who survive can cherish their lives more and pay attention to safety."
After saying that, he opened the shadow door, and together with his subordinates, he escorted all the killers, including Director Zhou, and filed in together.
Shadow wants to interrogate these people to find out who is testing him.
Qingchen was stunned for a long time, what is all this? !
Let's just go and say something beautiful like the host. He almost thought that after the other party finished speaking, there would be unforgettable background music playing.
But Qingchen knew that in fact, everything the shadow said was to say those four words to him at the end, please be safe.
Perhaps this trip is indeed too dangerous. Many people do not hope that they can successfully trade Qingmu, so even Shadow is a little worried about his own safety.
The crew all lay down in the snow, not daring to stand up until the thin layer of snow on the ground melted.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Shadow's great reputation in the Federation is not only due to its power, but also many legends about the other party treating human lives like ants.
Of course, the most important thing is that the shadow left through the Shadow Gate, which means that the shadow's footsteps never went far at all...
Thinking from an ordinary person's perspective, it's like Shadow and others took two steps, then stopped and stared at them.
This inexplicable sense of oppression made everyone unable to even breathe.
In the end, it was Keiichi who stood up first.
Only then did someone stand up.
After getting up, they were even more confused. Where was the shadow? I obviously didn't hear the footsteps walking away, why was there no one left?
At this moment, someone was finally freed from their daze, and they ran towards the place where they parked their car without any effort.
Apparently, he was planning to drive directly back to City No. 10.
However, just as one of them opened the car door, he was blasted more than ten meters by the huge flames with a roar.
After Director Zhou and others entered the camp, in order to ensure that they did not survive the operation and drove away in the chaos, booby traps were installed on every vehicle of Director Zhang and his crew, which would explode as soon as the door was opened.
After one exploded, induction booby traps on other vehicles also exploded one after another.
