Night’s Nomenclature

"High nose bridge, dark complexion, thin lips."

Qing Chen looked at the young man on the screen, carefully examining him, memorizing his face in his mind.

"If my guess is correct, he must be the perpetrator of the Rat Tide. I believe in my judgment. In the next time-travel cycle, he will die," Qing Chen said calmly.

The Kunlun Members listened from the side, feeling that the young dean spoke with a strong Killing Intent, his tone certain and confident.

"Help me call Boss Zheng. He is the leader of the Observer organization, knowledgeable and well-informed. I want him to try to help me identify this person, although he may not be able to recognize him," Qing Chen said.

Up to now, only one thing is uncertain. Li Shutong had shown him photos of various important figures in the Federation, but Qing Chen had not seen this person on the screen.

More than ten minutes later, Zheng Yuandong arrived: "I haven't seen this person. Among the main members of the Shendai Consortium, there is no one who looks like him."

Qing Chen was puzzled. Could this young man not be from the Shendai Consortium?

How is that possible?!

"Hmm?" Qing Chen was stunned.

Zheng Yuandong said with a smile: "My colleagues also investigated Shendai Yun Cang. It is said that he was the only Shendai direct bloodline member beside Shendai Qianchi when he died. But this search was ultimately unsuccessful, and Shendai Yun Cang disappeared. At the same time, a cosmetic surgery hospital in District 4 of City 0 was robbed, the hospital was smashed to pieces, and the doctors and nurses were all killed by armed robbers."

Qing Chen understood what Boss Zheng meant!

If Shendai Qianchi wanted to possess someone after the Century War, it must be this Shendai Yun Cang.

Then, a search plan under the direction of the Shendai family head failed to find a single person in the city, and a cosmetic surgery hospital was destroyed at the same time.

This series of coincidences shows that after Shendai Qianchi possessed Shendai Yun Cang, he had plastic surgery and had already fled the north.

The young man discovered by Qing Chen is undoubtedly Shendai Qianchi!

Qing Chen nodded: "So he had plastic surgery. I was wondering before, if it was a major figure from the Shendai Consortium who entered City 10, my Secret Spy Agency should have identified him long ago."

Shendai Qianchi probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be someone in this world who could find him from the vast amount of surveillance footage.

Qing Chen looked at Zheng Yuandong: "Boss Zheng, are you going to resign from the position of chairman of the Observer board of directors? Who will take over this position?"

Zheng Yuandong smiled: "It's someone you know from the Inner World, but I think you certainly won't be able to guess who it is. As for the specific identity, it cannot be revealed for now. The Observer organization needs a sense of security."

Qing Chen was stunned. Someone he knew? He searched his mind for a long time but couldn't determine who Zheng Yuandong was talking about.

At this time, Lu Yuan said: "Wait a moment, gentlemen. Shendai Qianchi only appeared once in the surveillance, even if you find him in the video, you can't confirm his location in City 10. How are you going to kill him?"

Lu Yuan was right. If the other party only appeared once, just a fleeting screenshot, Qing Chen wouldn't be able to know where he was hiding.

The video is from a long time ago. Shendai Qianchi couldn't have been waiting there for Qing Chen to kill him.

Qing Chen smiled: "The problem is that he appeared more than once. Everyone, don't underestimate Dianfu's gift."

With that, Qing Chen returned to the last row of the tiered classroom and began to re-examine the videos.

Having found a clue, let's continue to unravel it!

A day passed, two days passed, three days passed.

Qing Chen sat in the last row of the tiered classroom, arriving promptly at 8 a.m. every day and leaving promptly at 1 a.m. every day. Except for his fixed sleeping time, Qing Chen hadn't left here a step.

This time, even Lu Yuan and Zheng Yuandong were in the tiered classroom with him, waiting for new clues that might appear at any time.

Watching Qing Chen constantly bleed from his nose, watching Qing Chen constantly lose weight, everyone knew that it was useless to persuade Qing Chen at this time. There were only two days left. If Qing Chen didn't find any clues, the next time they traveled, all the City 10 Time Travelers would face annihilation.

Countdown 6:0:0.

Qing Chen suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Little Eagle, open videos 19 and 17! Set the time to 10 hours and 1 minute ago and 96 hours and 7 minutes ago respectively!"

Lu Yuan and Zheng Yuandong were stunned.

They looked at each other, and Qing Chen had actually found it!

At this time, Little Eagle had already adjusted video 19 to the specified time.

Everyone saw Shendai Qianchi appear again at the edge of the video, passing by quickly.

"You can't see anything either," Little Eagle wondered, "it's just a flash, you can't catch him."

Qing Chen smiled: "Wait a minute, find a point, and you can bring out a surface..., 1."

As soon as his voice fell, two young men in plain clothes also walked past in the video. This time even Lu Yuan saw it: "These two people have holsters under their arms. I'm too familiar with this way of walking!"

"That's right, these two are Shendai Qianchi's attendants, bodyguards. Shendai Qianchi is cautious and cunning by nature, so he has many bodyguards around him. He himself can hide well, but what about so many bodyguards?" Qing Chen smiled: "Little Eagle, open all the screens, set the time to this moment."

In the tiered classroom, all the screens were turned on.

In all the screens, there was no trace of Shendai Qianchi, but Lu Yuan and Zheng Yuandong and others clearly saw Shendai Qianchi's bodyguards walking into other videos, heading towards District 4.

More than ten bodyguards disguised as passers-by, cross-protecting Shendai Qianchi, moving with him.

This is a very elite security team!

Lu Yuan looked at Qing Chen in shock. Letting such a person obtain the surveillance video of an entire city, what secrets could anyone keep?!

You know, Qing Chen only found a point in 640 videos, and then he could use this point to unravel everything he wanted to know.

In a month, 640 cameras, only a handful of three times, is already very, very few.

But for Qing Chen, it's enough!

In the eyes of others, Dianfu brought back a single plug-in hard drive.

But in Qing Chen's eyes, Dianfu brought back the secrets and truth of the entire City 10.

This is Dianfu's gift, at the cost of his life.

Qing Chen said: "Actually, there's no need to look further back. In the videos of those past days, the young man only appeared three times, but these bodyguards appeared many more times. They went to many places, appearing as many as 7 times in the surveillance alone. Little Eagle, open video 11, set to 67 hours before."

This time is based on the video's end time.

When video 11 was opened, everyone saw several young bodyguards scattered on the street, vigilantly looking around, and then walking out of the video screen.

Qing Chen said: "Little Eagle, open the City 10 map. The location of video 11's surveillance is in the northwest corner of District 4. They didn't continue to appear in videos 111 and 11, they disappeared in this place. Moreover, in their 7 appearances, they were in this location, this is their base camp."

Little Eagle frantically unfolded the map and then marked the location of video 11 on the map.

It's a T-junction.

There are two buildings around, 99 and 18 floors high respectively. Shendai Qianchi and others are most likely hiding inside.

Qing Chen said: "I'm about an hour's drive from this place. Next time I travel, I will take the Secret Spy Agency to complete the beheading of Shendai Qianchi first, and then go kill the Rat King."

In the end, in this war, Qing Chen himself will carry out the most dangerous mission.

He arranged the fate of the Kunlun Members, arranged the fate of the Guardians' Union, and now, it's time to arrange his own.

Maybe he'll die, but it doesn't matter.

"How's the evacuation progress of the Lower Three Districts?" Zheng Yuandong asked.

"In seven days, seven-tenths of the refugees have been evacuated. They are on the wasteland 180 kilometers south of City 18. The Li Clan will arrange people to resettle them, and the Federation may build a new city for them," Qing Chen said: "The Li Clan is happy to replan their new strategic map in this process."

In fact, accepting refugees means accepting a lot of trouble. Qing Chen is grateful that Li Yunshou agreed to Qing Chen's request to take in these refugees.

Qing Chen said: "To evacuate all refugees, it will take at least three more days, but maybe I can kill Shendai Qianchi and the Rat King, and everyone won't have to evacuate."

"I hope everything goes smoothly," Zheng Yuandong said: "Be careful."

The Kunlun leader understands how dangerous it is to kill the Rat King in the most heavily guarded area of the Rat Tide and kill an A-Class expert under the protection of an elite security team.

At midnight, Qing Chen walked alone towards the Agricultural Academy.

In the past, he always hurried, but now, he was relaxed, and the fatigue was hard to hide.

Back in the war fortress, Qing Chen had a long dream.

In his dream, he wasn't as powerful as he is now. Like everyone else, he was just an ordinary Time Traveler, hiding and trembling in the bank with Zhang Hubao and others.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the bank hall. Dianfu said outside the door: "Open the door, I'm here to escort you to the Lower Three Districts."

The door of the bank hall opened, and Dianfu and the Kunlun Members stood there with tired faces.

When they saw that the Time Traveler team had not been reduced, they showed heartfelt smiles.

Countdown 0:00:00.

Qing Chen woke up from his dream and stared blankly at the ceiling of the war fortress.

"I slept for a long time. I slept for more than thirty hours," he sighed.

Under normal circumstances, people cannot sleep for so long, unless the brain has reached the point where it must shut down to repair the overdraft.

At this moment.

In the war fortress, baskets of Chicken Blood Bud and Eternal Heaven Fruit were piled up like mountains.

Xiao San and others were all sitting cross-legged in Cultivation, and Little Seven and others were constantly pouring True Qi into them.

Luo Wanya was still busy in the field, leading the students of the Agricultural Academy to harvest, trying to harvest the last batch of Eternal Heaven Fruit before the time travel.

Xiao San is in City 10, Little Seven is in City 0. According to the principle of the operation of the Zhunti Method, Little Seven pouring True Qi into Xiao San will cause his own Zhunti True Qi to be empty and unable to continue to impact the meridians in his body.

Xiao Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji also came.

Shinguji Maki carefully cut her finger with a knife and then smeared the blood on her master's wrist.

The little crybaby who likes to cry didn't cry this time.

"Thank you," Qing Chen smiled, touched Xiao Zhenji's head, stood up: "Let's go, get ready for battle!"

With that, he turned and walked towards the outside of the war fortress, and Xiao San and others also carried baskets of fruit behind him.

On the way, Luo Wanya reported on the recent situation: "Boss, Si Nianhua and Ji Guanya have both landed on the island, they are waiting for you in the square; the City 10 Time Travelers have all applied Chicken Blood Bud to restore their health, but unfortunately they cannot be taken to the Inner World; there are enough Eternal Heaven Fruit for everyone to eat two, and four more. This time I suggest giving them to the cliff challengers."

"Why?"

"On the one hand, it is in our interests, in your interests, for the challengers to eat. On the other hand, the children are protected in the Lower Three Districts, and there is no need for them to go to the battlefield, so there is no need for them to eat more."

"Okay, do as you say," Qing Chen nodded.

When everyone was walking on the road, suddenly a Time Traveler greeted Qing Chen: "Hello, Dean."

"Hello, Dean."

"Thank you, Dean."

Qing Chen was stunned. Looking at the Time Travelers who looked at him with respectful eyes from the bottom of their hearts, he didn't react for a while.

In fact, when the Time Travelers first knew that Qing Chen was the dean of the Agricultural Academy, they still felt a little awkward.

Everyone also recognized Qing Chen's strength, but Qing Chen's age was too young, so they always felt a little strange when facing Qing Chen.

However, with this return, the City 10 Time Travelers told the story of how Qing Chen brought them back to the Lower Three Districts again and again, and how he blocked the Rat Tide for them again and again on the way.

The Time Travelers told their classmates: Dean only sleeps for two hours each time, or even doesn't sleep at all, for seven whole days, the total sleep time may be less than 10 hours, because he has to go to save people.

When these things were posted on the Academy forum, all the Time Travelers who saw them were silent.

Now, those Time Travelers respectfully address Qing Chen, and there is no more awkwardness in their hearts, because this is the respect that Qing Chen earned with his strength and actions.

Just as Qing Chen was feeling sentimental, Chen Sui from the Matrix organization suddenly walked over: "I'm sorry, it was our Matrix's fault before. I hope Daybreak can forgive what I did before, and I hope that in the future, the Matrix can help more Time Travelers, just like you. I know that there is still a huge gap between the Matrix and Daybreak, but from today onwards, we will take you as our goal. The past Matrix was too selfish, but it won't be in the future. Sincerely ask for your forgiveness."

Qing Chen was silent for a long time, then smiled: "It's okay, it's all over."

He didn't expect the gap between the Matrix and Daybreak to end with Chen Sui's apology.

At this time, Chen Sui suddenly asked: "Chen Nian is also you, right? The gold medal in City 0?"

Qing Chen said expressionlessly: "Lao Luo, take him away first, we still have something important to do."

Arriving at the square, Little Seven smiled at the students: "Come on, same old routine, everyone scan the code to fill out the installment application first, everyone remember to apply for two!"

Lu Yuan looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh: "What time is it, the Agricultural Academy is still thinking about installment loans?"

Zheng Yuandong smiled: "This is Qing Chen. It shows that he has come out of grief and irrationality and is ready for battle. Let's distribute what we prepared."

At this time, Little Eagle brought people carrying dozens of boxes of weapons.

The Kunlun Members opened the boxes, and inside were miniature liquid grenades, each only half the size of a palm.

Zheng Yuandong said to Qing Chen: "This is the liquid bomb technology of the Inner World. The size is just right to be carried in the mouths of Time Travelers."

"Made by Kunlun?" Qing Chen curiously asked.

"No," Zheng Yuandong shook his head: "This is made overseas by Nine Provinces overtime, specially designed for Time Travelers to travel between the two worlds, free of charge. Although the workmanship is still a bit rough, it should be able to help you."

Qing Chen nodded: "Thank Boss He for me."

Although Daybreak and Nine Provinces have a trading relationship, they are ultimately closer than ordinary business partners.

Boss He probably didn't start preparing these things from this return, but started preparing them from the last return, only to have them finished this time.

In the square, Si Nianhua and Ji Guanya walked towards Qing Chen: "Boss, the Qing Family has made an agreement with the Li Clan. If the Lower Three Districts' defense line collapses, the Qing Family will directly launch six cruise missiles to destroy the city to prevent Shendai Qianchi from driving the Rat Tide to the wilderness and threatening the northern front-line troops. Someone from the Qing Family asked me to ask you, have you found a solution?"

Qing Chen nodded: "After you travel, tell the Li Clan and the Qing Family that they don't need to, I'll do it myself."

Si Nianhua and Ji Guanya looked at each other, with surprised expressions in their eyes. Solve the Rat Tide? The Conglomerates don't know how to solve it, they can only drop missiles to destroy the city.

But Qing Chen said he had found a solution?

The countdown is approaching.

Qing Chen looked at Xiao San again: "Can you hold on?"

This is the third time he's asked.

Xiao San said loudly: "We can hold on!"

"Hold the line."

Qing Chen turned to look at the Time Travelers in the square, waiting for them to eat the Eternal Heaven Fruit.

I'm back, for those who didn't come back.

Time returns to Zero.

Travel!
