Night’s Nomenclature

Shendai Qianchi knew that no plan could guarantee a 100% success rate.

But even though he was prepared for failure, the retreat still filled him with anger.

In his opinion, the most likely reason for his failure was that the Conglomerates would directly and ruthlessly launch cruise missiles, destroying an entire city.

If successful, he would gain the capital to make a comeback.

If he failed, he would only lose one Forbidden Artifact Ant Queen ACE0 and one Forbidden Artifact ACE09 Beyond the Three Realms.

For those who succeed, what are the losses of two Forbidden Artifacts?

But what Shendai Qianchi couldn't accept was that his plan failed before the Conglomerates even launched a missile.

"Ancestor, we will escort you away," said a security personnel. "Please wait a moment, we will come out after we reach the ground and ensure there are no safety hazards."

Shendai Qianchi nodded: "Take five people with you, be careful."

The security personnel opened the elevator shaft of the safety house and climbed up along the elevator cable.

Shendai Qianchi watched silently until the security personnel climbed out of the 50-meter elevator shaft. He suddenly twisted a table lamp in the safety house and opened a one-meter-square secret door behind him.

"Evacuate," he said coldly, "You go in first, the end of the passage is the sewer. The Rat Tide is now under my control and there will be no danger."

The security personnel didn't seem angry that Shendai Qianchi had betrayed six of their companions. They were all completely brainwashed death squads willing to sacrifice for the cause.

As the remaining six security personnel crawled into the passage one by one, he also bent down and crawled inside. It was a long passage, seemingly without end.

On the ground, six security personnel emerged from the elevator shaft. They carefully checked the surrounding environment, and after confirming that no one was around, they broke out in a tactical formation.

"Alert, are there any enemy targets?" the security personnel whispered.

"No enemy detected at position 1."

"No enemy detected at position 2."

"Position 4"

This combat squad, used as bait by Shendai Qianchi, advanced rapidly. One of them returned to the building and shouted into the elevator shaft: "The ground is safe, you can come out!"

However, long after he finished speaking, no one came out from underground.

The Gene Soldiers understood. He held his cold weapon and returned to the team: "The Ancestor has already evacuated from another place, we are the bait."

"Understood," said the security captain, "Move to the 11 o'clock direction, we are now expendable, go find some clothes to change into, and prepare to mix into the refugees in the Lower Third District, they can't identify our identities."

These security personnel were well-trained, and even though they knew they were being used as expendable pawns, they immediately made the wisest decision: the Lower Third District was about to be victorious, there were millions of people there, as long as they could change into civilian clothes and mix into the crowd, no one could identify them.

The six security personnel outside the building were advancing rapidly, but at the second intersection, eight people suddenly appeared and blocked their path.

Shendai's Gene Soldiers were alert, had they been targeted? It seemed the Ancestor's decision was correct.

The security captain whispered: "Quick, use speed to create distance, our role as bait has been played, don't linger."

With that, the security squad immediately turned back and tried to leave from another direction, shaking off the eight people who had blocked their path.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw eight more people, appearing on the road they had just come from.

Sixteen people, completely blocking them on this small road.

High-rise buildings surrounded them, there was nowhere to escape, it was a well-calculated killing ground.

The security captain sneered when he saw this: "Here to kill us? You're overestimating yourselves, kill them all, then keep moving!"

You should know that in this security squad, every soldier had at least B-Class strength. This level of elite troops on the battlefield, encountering ordinary troops, could come and go as they pleased, fight as they pleased, and crush their opponents at will.

When they were in the Federation Army, each of them was at least a lieutenant colonel, the elite of the elite!

Therefore, the security captain was now becoming ferocious. He planned to kill people before leaving, it was still possible.

"Fire!"

As he spoke, six security soldiers pulled the trigger, and gunshots erupted in the street.

They fired while splitting into groups of three, heading towards both ends of the street, planning to use three against eight to quickly resolve the battle.

But at that moment, the security captain suddenly felt something strange.

It was because the sixteen people at both ends of the street, instead of retreating, advanced, skillfully dodging their bullets with extraordinary skill.

This speed is B-Class?

The security captain's mind was blank, what's going on?

He thought that his team, entirely composed of B-Class Gene Soldiers, could crush the ordinary troops in front of them, but these troops were not ordinary.

16 people, all B-Class! What kind of talent would be hiding such a team in the chaotic Rat Tide?

"Bad!" The security captain roared, "Close ranks, focus on defense."

The security captain had already begun to regret it. From the beginning, he had made a wrong judgment, splitting into groups of three to deal with others, it was like a suicidal decision!

The words "Here to kill us? You're overestimating yourselves!" were spoken too rashly!

The spies on both sides of the street almost laughed. The reason they didn't laugh was because they were well-trained, maintaining the utmost respect for the battlefield.

What was the level of this spy team? All B-Class, a total of 16 people.

At this time, the six Shendai security team members quickly gathered together, but before they could come up with a countermeasure, gunshots suddenly rang out from the buildings on the street. Four more spies had been ambushing on both sides of the building, waiting for them to gather together for defense, and then eliminate them all.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of gunfire in the early morning was particularly crisp on the empty street. The six Shendai security personnel were still thinking about how to deal with the enemies on both ends of the street when they were ambushed.

Bullets rained down on them, turning the legs and arms of the four without bulletproof protection into sieves.

They involuntarily fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Because the bulletproof vests and helmets were too protective, they couldn't even die if they wanted to.

Yan Chunmi exclaimed: "Huh, their necks are actually equipped with bionic nano-skin, this stuff is valuable, we haven't even added it yet."

A spy explained: "They have fewer people, so they don't need to spend that much money. We have so many people, if the Boss were to equip us all with bionic nano-skin, he would be heartbroken for a while."

The six security personnel lay on the ground, filled with anger, does having more people make you great?

In their sight, Yan Chunmi slowly walked in front of the six security personnel: "They seem to all be Gene Soldiers, not a single Metahuman."

A spy lamented, "No fertilizer for growing tea?"

The principle of Gene Soldiers is to add to the genes, it will not cause Biological Contamination, and the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal will not contain them.

Real Metahumans like to ostracize Gene Soldiers from Awakened Ones and Cultivators.

Metahumans also have a pecking order.

The security captain, whose two thighs were broken, sneered, "Our mission has been accomplished, your verbal humiliation now is meaningless!"

"Really?" Yan Chunmi said expressionlessly, "Do you think you can die now? Do you know who we are? We are spies from the Secret Spy Agency, all enemies who fall into our hands will not die without revealing some secrets. Have you heard of a rule in the 10th Forbidden Zone: you must tell it a secret before midnight to live? Our Secret Spy Agency also has a rule: tell ten secrets to die properly. Huh, then is our Secret Spy Agency also a Forbidden Zone? A very dangerous Forbidden Zone."

The spies smiled without speaking, the six security personnel felt a chill in their hearts, these people were spies from the Secret Spy Agency? They knew too well what the Qing Family spies' attitude towards Shendai was. Now, the photos of Shendai Jing Cheng being raised in a pigsty were constantly being leaked by the spies, it was truly a situation where they could neither live nor die.

Yan Chunmi smiled and said: "Take them away, these are all the confidantes around the old fox, let's see if we can get some information out before the Boss comes back."

"Will Qing Yi be okay, he might be guarding Shendai Qianchi," a spy worried.

"Uncertain, hope the Boss can arrive in time," Yan Chunmi said.

Qing Yi was currently with nine spies, scattered at high points within a radius of two kilometers, guarding dozens of sewer exits.

While conducting reconnaissance, a well cover was opened from the inside, and a security personnel jumped out, cautiously observing the empty city.

The next moment, the security personnel looked up, trying to observe if there were any snipers.

Qing Yi immediately retracted his head from the rooftop, he had indeed been spotted! Close call, almost discovered!

He knew that A-Class could not be stared at, and Shendai Qianchi's current level of possession was likely A-Class!

At this time, Qing Yi felt a little regretful. Although he was a spy, it was because he was a Shadow Succession candidate, in fact, he had not received the most orthodox training from the Secret Spy Agency.

Qing Yi had also asked his father if he could find an expert like Li Yunjing to train him, but Qing Kun said there was no need at all, superiors didn't need such high combat ability.

He knew that his father was afraid that his combat ability would be too high and he would run around killing and fighting.

Qing Kun only had this one son, and he hated it when Qing Yi mentioned Cultivation.

Qing Yi slowly poked his head out again, he gestured to the spy on the adjacent building, indicating that there was a situation here, and to quickly report it to the Boss.

While he himself ran wildly downstairs.

Shendai Qianchi was about to move, there was no spy surveillance ahead, if they were allowed to leave so openly, they might lose their target in the large city.

Qing Yi was going to follow, at least he would know where Shendai Qianchi went.

He knew that the Boss had hatred and anger in his heart. Without killing this Shendai Qianchi, the hatred and anger would not be resolved.

At this moment, Qing Yi did not have any fear, he only felt that he had finally been of use.

Moreover, Qing Yi also had anger in his heart.

"I wanted to manage the PCA CIA well, and then go to the Boss to take credit, but you old thing let out some rats, and ruined everything I had worked so hard to build," Qing Yi muttered as he went downstairs, "If I don't kill you today, not only will the Boss be unhappy, but I will also be unhappy."

He quickly arrived at the intersection and used his limited spy knowledge to carefully track Shendai Qianchi's seven people.

Along the way, Qing Yi carefully cut off the corners of his clothes with a dagger, throwing them piece by piece on the road to guide the Secret Spy Agency and the Boss.

As he cut, his combat uniform was almost becoming a midriff-baring top.

Shendai Qianchi and his group moved rapidly towards the south without looking back, at an extremely fast speed. Qing Yi could barely keep up.

He was getting anxious, don't let these people escape!

From Jiyuan Street, all the way to Fangwu Street, Qing Yi chased for more than ten kilometers.

At this time, Shendai Qianchi and his group turned a corner. Qing Yi was about to continue tracking, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and turned around to escape.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Shikigami Prajna looking at him compassionately from a hundred meters behind.

Prajna has two faces, one compassionate and one ferocious. When compassionate, every move avoids vital points, when ferocious, every move seeks a fatal blow.

This so-called compassion is also false compassion.

Not only Prajna, but also Wine Swallowing Child and Great Heavenly Dog, blocked all of Qing Yi's paths.

"Interesting, even a young brat dares to track me," Shendai Qianchi turned back from the corner of the street, sneering, "Didn't your parents tell you that as long as the distance is close enough, even if you don't look directly at an A-Class expert, they can still sense you with their sixth sense?"

Qing Yi's lips trembled slightly. This was the first time he had encountered this situation, but he still responded with a sneer, "My parents didn't say that, dogs also have a sixth sense."

Shendai Qianchi laughed. He didn't expect such a young boy to dare to speak so arrogantly: "I recalled it for a while, I feel that you look familiar, but I can't remember who you are. Only just now did I remember, you should be called Qing Yi, by the way, what level are you now, are you B-Class?"

Qing Yi's heart trembled. He suddenly realized that this Shendai scoundrel was going to possess him to make a comeback.

That's right, this was Shendai Qianchi's plan. Since it was difficult to make a comeback within Shendai, why not join the Qing Family and completely change his identity? Qing Yi in front of him was a Shadow Candidate, as long as he was strong enough, he might even become the Head of the Qingshi Clan in the future!

Moreover, if he possessed Qing Yi, as long as he successfully disguised himself, he could gain Qing Kun's support!

Qing Yi's lips gradually stopped trembling. He sneered and stood straight: "A dog can't change its spots, you're always possessing your own descendants, and now you want to possess your father, unfilial son. I have people behind me, once I disappear and reappear, I will be suspected, and I am C-Class, you can't possess me at all, and even if you do, you will slowly become a fool. Go ahead and dream your spring and autumn dreams, there's everything in dreams."

At this moment, Qing Yi couldn't do anything. A C-Class fighting an A-Class Yin-Yang Master, even if he was as brilliant as the Boss, it was impossible to turn the tables.

Instead of struggling in vain, he might as well scold him to his heart's content.

No one expected that this young Qing Yi had some of his father's rebellious temperament.

Shendai Qianchi didn't bother to talk anymore. He said, "It doesn't matter, taking you can still be an important bargaining chip. As far as I know, Qing Kun cares quite a bit about his son."

As he spoke, Prajna, Great Heavenly Dog, and Wine Swallowing Child surrounded him. They seemed to be a trinity, forming a triangular formation, blocking all of Qing Yi's escape routes.

Qing Yi's heart sank: "Boss…"

He just felt a little regretful, how come he had just reunited with the Boss and now he was going to be separated?

The three Shikigami charged towards him, about to reach Qing Yi.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from a window on the side of the street and landed steadily beside Qing Yi.

The figure stroked Qing Yi's head and said softly with a smile, "Kneel."

Qing Yi's head felt warm, he almost obeyed and knelt down, but he quickly realized that those two words were not directed at him, but at the Shikigami!

The three Shikigami that were attacking suddenly stopped in their tracks as they approached him, and then performed a prostration to the figure beside him!

Those two words seemed to have some kind of magic, like the innate pressure of a superior on an inferior.

Just by softly saying "Kneel," the whole world would kneel!

Qing Yi looked up in surprise: "Boss!?"

He looked at Qing Chen's profile, only to see that the Boss's face was just being illuminated by the rising sun, golden and radiant.

At some point, Qing Yi had given up in his heart, all he could do was maintain his dignity as a son of the Qing Family and not disgrace his father.

But he didn't expect that the Boss had arrived in time.

Qing Chen smiled, "You did a good job cutting your clothes to leave clues, otherwise this dog thing would have really escaped. But next time you can cut your sleeves first, otherwise your navel will be exposed and you'll catch a cold."
