Night’s Nomenclature

Return Countdown 1:00:00.

Forbidden Zone 00.

"Get down here!" Qing Chen stood before the World Tree, looking up and shouting, "The small animals are all complaining that you're too scary!"

Looking up, Zard saw himself stretched extremely flat, like a plaster stuck to the World Tree: "I just wanted to see if I could take it away! But it's too big, I can't wrap it up!"

As soon as he said this, the old fellows in the Forbidden Zone were stunned. What kind of lunatic was this, actually trying to take away their World Tree?

Qing Chen shouted, "Even a fool knows you can't take it away, it's so big!"

"How would I know without trying? Practice makes perfect," Zard said.

"Get down here and work!"

"Okay!"

Although the leaves were large, they easily dried and rotted after falling, this is the law of nature, even the World Tree could not avoid it.

So, Ding Dong spent about half the year constantly climbing up and down, picking leaves and building sheds, repeating the cycle.

If it weren't for the World Tree being as dense as a starry sky, it might have been stripped bare by Ding Dong.

After Qing Chen arrived, looking at those simple sheds, he took Zard and used his abilities to build new sheds.

"You can turn stones into sand, can you turn sand back into stones?" Qing Chen curiously asked.

"Of course I can, it's just more troublesome," Zard said, "Before, I fought with some people, using sky burial to bury them, and they could actually climb out. So after using sky burial, I re-petrified the sand on their heads, giving them a lid."

Qing Chen was stunned for a long time. This method was incredible.

He said, "I'll draw the blueprints, and you build the houses. This will save Ding Dong from having to build houses every year."

Houses sprang up from the ground one after another, Qing Chen counting the number of small animals and planning the blueprints.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the entire area around the World Tree was like a town that had sprung up out of nowhere.

At first, the small animals didn't dare to live in such stone houses, but Ding Dong went into the forest and "invited" the small animals back one by one, placing them in the small houses.

Ding Dong also used burnt charcoal to draw crooked animal shapes on the houses. Outside the wooly monkey's house, he drew a grinning wooly monkey, and outside the small green snake's house, he drew a crooked little snake, to allocate ownership and prevent the small animals from fighting.

The small animals shivered in the stone houses until they were sure nothing would happen, before they slowly began to look at their new homes.

Ding Dong went back to the forest to get them suitable branches and dry grass, Zhang Mengqian, Sun Chuci, and Tuanzi hugged the dry grass, and made nests for the small animals, a warm scene.

Zard watched Ding Dong draw happily, laughing and saying, "It's a good thing it's not a written sign, otherwise there would only be the words Ding Dong outside each house, because Ding Dong only says Ding Dong, hahahahaha isn't it funny?"

Qing Chen looked at him expressionlessly, "What kind of nonsensical joke is this?"

"Oh."

Yang Yang pulled Zard aside, whispering, "Come on, let's build a small house for me and Qing Chen too, maybe we can come here to escape the heat in summer."

If you ignore the rules and dangers of Forbidden Zone 00, after eating the yellow fruit, it's really suitable for vacation.

There are no poisonous insects attacking, no beasts rampaging, it's like a small independent kingdom.

Birds sing and flowers bloom in the forest, and small animals surround them. Yang Yang sings under the tree, attracting raccoons to listen to her singing.

When Yang Yang's singing stops, the raccoon will dig up the hazelnuts it buried and give them to Yang Yang, as if it's asking for another song.

It's like a coin-operated jukebox.

Yang Yang squatted on the ground, drawing the house she wanted with a branch in the mud, then looked up at Zard, "Just like this, let's start building."

Zard was stunned, "Just one? Didn't you say you and Qing Chen's house? Qing Chen's too, draw his as well, I'll build them together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a walnut hit his head.

Zard glared back at the wooly monkey, "What?!"

The wooly monkey pointed at the cemetery, meaning: The old fellows told me to do it, it's not my fault.

Zard: ""

Two days passed, and Qing Chen and the others had become very friendly with the small animals.

At one point, they even considered settling here.

However, at this time, Qing Chen saw in front of the row of small stone houses, eight statues had sprung up, which were Qing Chen, Zard, Ding Dong, Gu Dong, Yang Yang, Zhang Mengqian, Sun Chuci, and Tuanzi.

The eight people, like the successive worker-peasant-soldier brothers in front of a state-owned enterprise, were in a fighting pose.

Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing?"

Zard said as a matter of course, "Building houses for the small animals is a great achievement, in case they miss us too much after we leave, we'll make statues for them to remember us. This way, we can forever live in their hearts."

Qing Chen said, "You only built them some houses, and you think you're a hero? They don't want to remember you, take it down! Forever living in someone's heart, this is also a phrase for the deceased!"

"Okay," Zard was a little regretful, but he was a little clever. Although he took down the large statues, he still made small statues in the forest.

Amidst the noise, Xiaoyu slowly opened his eyes.

He slept for an unusually long time, because he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and Dayu overdrew his spiritual power, he slept for more than forty hours before finally waking up. He found himself in a simple green shed, with a huge leaf on top of the shed.

Xiaoyu heard the noise outside, his first reaction was not to get up, but to reach into his shirt pocket, where there was a letter his brother had left him:

"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."

"Because of that idiot Zard inexplicably involved in the war, I have arbitrarily postponed the alternation time this time. The main reason is that I was worried that you would not be able to control the power of this body and would eventually be killed by that idiot."

"You'd better also persuade that idiot to stay away from Qing Chen, he's a jinx, following him will surely lead to more bad things. Forget it, I shouldn't be telling you this."

"In the last return cycle, I earned 50 points for you, and spent 0 points drinking. But don't exchange for the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique, if you want to cultivate, I will teach you."

The letter rambled on for nearly a thousand words, scolding Zard for two hundred words, scolding Qing Chen for three hundred words, and then spending the remaining three hundred words explaining things.

The last hundred or so words belittled the weakness of the Academy classmates and elevated his own strength.

But a strange point is that Dayu didn't mention anything about the Agricultural Academy, and even congratulated Xiaoyu on making new friends and finding something he liked to do.

It seems that in Dayu's opinion, as long as his brother is happier, he can make some concessions.

Even his brother going to the Agricultural Academy to work is tolerable.

Xiaoyu read his brother's letter over and over again before getting up and walking out of the shed: "Brother Zard!"

"Oh, Xiaoyu's awake!" Zard was surprised, "Come on, come on, brother has prepared a hundred-family meal for you!"

Qing Chen said angrily, "Why is this a hundred-family meal?"

Zard looked at the pile of fruits in front of him and said, "These are all picked by the small animals. Each small animal sent some, isn't that a hundred-family meal? Just treat the small animals as the households in the village, this family sends two buns, that family sends a plate of pickles, isn't that a hundred-family meal?"

Qing Chen was stunned, "You're so right."

This is really the Forbidden Zone version of a hundred-family meal.

He whispered, "How do you distinguish between Dayu and Xiaoyu?"

Zard laughed happily, "Dayu wouldn't call me brother, he would only let me call him Boss. Xiaoyu, did your brother scold me this time?"

Xiaoyu smiled, "No."

Xiaoyu slowly walked over, looking at a huge leaf on the ground, piled with fruits.

Actually, the fruits were all picked by Ding Dong. Before Ding Dong went to fight, the small animals stole all the fruits to avenge the winter, leaving nothing behind.

Later, they built houses for the small animals, so the small animals returned many of the hidden fruits.

At this time, Ding Dong came back carrying firewood. He carefully bent down and walked through the canopy.

When he saw Xiaoyu, he smiled and squatted down, spreading his palm. It was the "early summer" fruit he had just picked, which could make people react faster after eating it.

Qing Chen had already eaten nine, and he felt his reaction speed had increased by a few points.

If the past was a 0.1-second motor nerve reflex, then now it is 0.01 seconds.

The so-called motor nerve refers to the time it takes for muscles and fascia to prepare when you want to tense a certain muscle to punch, and then within 0.1 seconds to prepare the muscles.

When the enemy punches, you see the opponent's fist, at this moment, the coordination of motor nerves and muscles determines whether you will be hit.

If the motor nerve reflex is too slow, it is very likely that you will know the punch is coming but will not be able to react.

Therefore, this fruit seems to only improve 0.01 seconds, but from another perspective, it has doubled the effect.

Ordinary people's fights may not need it, but among experts, a 0.01-second faster reaction speed is enough to crush the opponent.

At the same level, the enemy's fist will never hit you, and you will always be faster than the opponent.

Qing Chen let Zard and the others finish the fruits and kept the cores. This is the new variety he is going to bring back to the Agricultural Academy, early summer and ask cold.

Xiaoyu looked at the giant in front of him with some fear, but Zard beside him smiled and said, "Eat, Ding Dong is a good person."

Xiaoyu then felt relieved and timidly picked up the fruit from the giant's hand.

Qing Chen silently watched this scene, because Ding Dong has the giant's talent of telepathy, so he wanted to know how Ding Dong would evaluate Huan Yu.

Currently, Ding Dong has contacted Zard, Yang Yang, Zhang Mengqian, Sun Chuci, and Tuanzi, and none of them have warned Qing Chen, which means that everyone is trustworthy, which is a harvest that makes Qing Chen happier than early summer and ask cold.

Only Huan Yu is left.

However, Qing Chen found that Ding Dong was actually stunned: "What's wrong?"

"Ding Dong!" Ding Dong said.

His body actually has three souls living in it: a child, an ambitious adult, and an evil villain.

Qing Chen was also stunned. He looked at Zard.

After all, the other party had only said that Huan Yu had two souls before, not the third one, and Ding Dong would not make a mistake!

"Ding Dong!"

The child is awake at this moment, the other two are asleep, without any fluctuations.

Qing Chen was silent. When Zard mentioned this before, he had grasped some clues, but at that time, the battle had just ended, and he didn't have time to think about the problems hidden behind these clues.

Now, he finally understood the problem in Zard's words.

Currently, no one knows whether they become Time Travelers through body possession, soul possession, both, or a fusion of two inner worlds.

Qing Chen once observed his own body and confirmed that he was a body-traveler, but he is too special, he is an internal test player, so his observation cannot be generalized.

And ordinary people like Jiang Xue, after traveling to the past, actually directly have mechanical arms.

This also indirectly shows the difference between internal test players and public test players.

Currently, the most crucial problem is that Huan Yu, whom Qing Chen contacted earliest, was crazy and evil, also the creepy guy that Qing Chen hated before.

But Huan Yu that Qing Chen has recently contacted doesn't have that feeling, although he has ambition, it's not yet evil.

Moreover, no one has mentioned the matter of "whichever one finds the other first, the other must be his slave".

This sense of tearing has been with Qing Chen, making him puzzled.

Therefore, when Xiaoyu said before, "Brother is back," Qing Chen subconsciously thought it was a dual personality, and the brother who came back was Dayu.

But now Qing Chen realized that Xiaoyu said brother came back, but he never said which brother, and he actually has two brothers!

This is a triple personality!

Qing Chen suddenly looked at Zard: "What's going on?"

There is another problem. Normally, even if someone has mental retardation, they would not be casually sent to a mental hospital.

People often see people with intellectual disabilities on the road, some harass others, some direct traffic every day, or do all kinds of strange things.

No one cares at all.

If it's just an intellectual developmental disorder, without endangering society, Xiaoyu would not be detained in a mental hospital at all.

Many people subconsciously think that mentally ill people should be in mental hospitals, but it's not actually the case.

You must know that all patients forcibly confined to mental hospitals must have done something outrageous.

Zard scratched his head, "Xiaoyu was hospitalized because he found the murderer of his parents, and then killed the murderer in a cruel way. After this incident, the police filed a lawsuit, but he was eventually sent to a mental hospital because of mental problems."

Qing Chen gasped.

Xiaoyu listened silently beside him, looking somewhat pitiful and helpless.

Zard continued, "Xiaoyu has always been a dual personality, we call him Zhong Yu, the murder was committed by Zhong Yu. Actually, that personality is also very good, he would help me punish those who bullied me, but it would always make people a little afraid. After the time-travel incident started, the dual personality suddenly became a triple personality, Dayu appeared. But Dayu is special, he didn't appear because of an illness, but suddenly merged in, and he also has memories of the Inner World. Dayu is a core member of the Inner World's Chen Family Conglomerate, he discovered this matter, and thought that one personality would pose a hidden danger to the main body, so he found a chance to write a letter to Xiaoyu, and the two of them locked up the second personality together, although I don't know how he did it."

Zard said, "Dayu seems to have also talked about this matter, he also wrote a letter to the second personality, explaining their situation, and that it is not suitable for the second personality to come out and move around now, I don't know how he did it, he actually persuaded the other party. However, Dayu also said that if one day it is unavoidable, he will take the initiative to release the second personality, that is a personality that can drag the whole world to hell."

Qing Chen: "I think you have a pretty good relationship with Dayu. According to what you said, he should be an Inner World native, and he didn't have much interaction with you before, right?"

Zard: "Dayu didn't like me at first, nor Xiaoyu and Zhong Yu. Later, I don't know how, he started to treat Xiaoyu as his younger brother, and then, for Xiaoyu, he started to be a little nicer to me."

Qing Chen was speechless for a long time. He didn't expect Xiaoyu to have so many stories.

Xiaoyu stood aside with red eyes, "Can I not play with you guys anymore?"

Qing Chen was stunned. He probably knew why Dayu treated Xiaoyu as his younger brother.

He looked at Xiaoyu and touched his head, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, we won't be afraid of you because of this. But you and your brother Dayu have to control the second personality, his appearance will put everyone in danger."

Xiaoyu lowered his head, "Actually, he's pretty good to me."

"Yeah, I understand," Qing Chen smiled, "Let's eat some fruit first, and later I'll take you to the top of the World Tree to watch the sunset, it's beautiful. By the way, there are a lot of Jingshan Tea buds waiting for you to fry in the Academy."

"Okay," Xiaoyu became happy again.

Children are so easy to coax.

At this time, Qing Chen looked at Zard again, "Then what did you do back then to get locked up?"

Zard laughed happily, "I was wronged."

"Oh? How were you wronged?" Qing Chen was curious.

"An uncle upstairs said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with me at midnight," Zard said, "As a result, I climbed the gas pipeline to the outside of his window at midnight, but he screamed in fright. He is also a patient, he lives in the next ward, and wants to beat people all day long."

"What floor does he live on?" Qing Chen asked.

"18th floor."

Qing Chen understood. The uncle frightened by Zard is probably not a good person, and has some strange hobbies.

The other party wants to trick Zard home, probably because he sees that Zard's brain has some problems, and wants to bully Zard.

But the other party didn't know that Zard didn't go through the door, but climbed to the outside of the 18th-floor window and poked his head out, who wouldn't be confused by this?

However, Qing Chen didn't sympathize with the uncle, he deserved it.

"But just because of this, they sent you to a mental hospital?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

Zard thought for a while and said, "My parents passed away, my aunt and uncle said they would take care of me and moved into our house, my aunt always disliked me, so she used this matter to send me to the mental hospital."

So that's it, Qing Chen sighed inwardly, in the end, it was that house that attracted people's attention.

"Let's go, it's time," Qing Chen smiled, "Yang Yang, take them up, Ding Dong and I will climb up ourselves."

Speaking, he and Ding Dong climbed up the trunk of the World Tree with their hands and feet, the huge dome canopy of the World Tree was like beautiful D special effects under the setting sun.

More than ten minutes later, everyone sat side by side on the thickest branch, letting the evening sun shine on everyone's faces and bodies.

High in the sky, behind the distant mountains was the sun's resting place.

Yang Yang slowly leaned her head on Qing Chen's shoulder, regardless of how stiff the young man's body was, she softly asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Go to City 10 to kill Qing Wen, then go to City 18 to take away Li Cheng and Qing Ling's more than nine hundred intelligence personnel. Although they are now awarded medals, Li Clan and Qing Family are worried that there are Shendai-trained spies among them, so they are not reused."

Just like when an undercover agent returns to the police force, he often cannot reintegrate into the police force. Those people stayed in the A0 base for so many years, no one knows whether there are any people who have been turned by Shendai.

But Qing Chen doesn't care, he has Ding Dong, he only needs to bring those people to the Forbidden Zone, and he will naturally know whether there are spies hidden among them.

Apart from the spies, these people are absolutely loyal to Qing Chen. If the Guardians' Union is Qing Chen's first team, then these people are Qing Chen's second team.

His own team.

"What about you? What are your plans?" Qing Chen asked.

"I want to take Zard to build houses for the Wildlanders. The conditions in the settlement are quite difficult, I have called on many Time Travelers to settle there, I have to go and see," Yang Yang said.

"Yeah," Qing Chen nodded.

The sunset was so beautiful, Tuanzi also slowly leaned on Sun Chuci.

Zard looked at both sides, and then slowly leaned on Ding Dong.
