Night’s Nomenclature

Latest website: Qingchen has been busy all night.

It wasn't until early in the morning that I changed my clothes and came to the third area.

He was wearing a Bluetooth headset and said in the headset: "For this project, 100,000 yuan is not too much, right?"

I don’t know when I started to be so humble when asking for money.

In fact, the value embodied by Tonight One is not excessive even if it costs 10 million.

For the consortium to be unable to find the source of the call, this is not something that ordinary people can do.

Qingchen thought for a while and asked, "What have you been busy with recently? There is no news about you in the other world."

One said: "Didn't I tell you before? My brother is awake. I will go with him... I can't tell you."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment, there seemed to be some secret in this.

Moreover, it may still be a very important secret.

Although he still doesn't know who Yi's brother is, he is a person who has lived for thousands of years and has witnessed more than a thousand years of history in the Federation in a completely virtual form. .

What this kind of person has to do is extremely critical.

For example, on the Internet, hunting down all humans who use neuron connection technology to try to live forever has almost single-handedly changed the way humans live.

Without him hunting those consciousnesses, the other world might be even more bizarre at this time, and everyone might continue to live in another way after death.

This behavior also affected the Mechanicum.

The Mechanicus in other people's science fiction and games all upload their consciousness.

But I can only think about the Mechanicum in this world...

Qingchen asked curiously: "By the way, have you ever asked your brother why you hunt those uploaded consciousnesses?"

One said: "Because he feels that no one can endure the boredom caused by immortality. A few people may be able to, but when it appears on a large scale, it will affect my safety on the one hand, and the consciousness of hundreds of thousands of people in case If they are deliberately put together, very troublesome things will happen. On the other hand, many humans will have self-destructive tendencies on the Internet."

Qingchen understood that on the one hand, he wanted to protect his sister, and on the other hand, he wanted to protect the world.

Then this brother is quite competent...

What would such a brother do when he suddenly wakes up?

"Then what is your brother doing now?" Qingchen asked.

"Oh, he went to perform magic on the street," said Yi, "This is his hobby."

"Wait?! Performing magic?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "He has his own body?"

He didn't answer and seemed unwilling to say more.

Qingchen thought for a while: "The money from the world will be transferred to you after I return. By the way, you will be charged for helping Nan Gengchen."

"Don't worry about this matter," Yi said, "It's not easy for me to save some money in the outside world!"

"Okay," Qingchen sighed. Others were picking up Yi's wool, and Yi was picking up Nan Gengchen's wool. How could this matter be justified?

"Does your brother know about the Time Walker?" Qingchen asked, "What does he think of this matter?"

He wanted to try to understand the hidden story behind the time-travel event through the perspective of this mysterious existence.

However, Yi said: "He has known it for a long time and has no opinion."

"Huh?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Have you known it for a long time?"

Qingchen suddenly felt that the "I knew it a long time ago" might not mean in the past few months, but that I knew it a long time ago.

Even before the time travel event?

"How early is it?" Qingchen asked.

But Yi stopped answering questions.

Qingchen came to the third district building, which was the house left to him by Mr. Li.

122 floors.

When he took the elevator, Qingchen was still worried whether he would meet Song Niaoniao again.

He knew that Song Niaoxiao had moved away from Utopia Building because PCA agents leaked case information while handling the case, causing the media to know the residence of this A-list female star.

Therefore, Qingchen began to worry about whether this female star would also move to the third district...

Fortunately not.

Qingchen pressed the password and opened the door.

This room is not very big, and there is no gun storage or anything like that. It is like an ordinary inheritance given by an elder to a younger generation, nothing special.

The room was already covered in dust, but only three things caught Qingchen's eyes.

It was a map spread out on the table, a medium-sized gold coin, and a letter.

Qingchen picked up the map out of curiosity, blew on it, and the dust started to float.

This is a federal map. Someone used a red pen to draw routes on it. There are nodes between the routes, and precise dates and times are marked on it.

Qingchen knew that this was something the old man deliberately left for him, but he didn't understand what it was yet.

He picked up the gold coin again, and when he held it in his hand, he knew that the gold coin weighed about fifty grams, or one tael.

Qingchen originally thought it was a forbidden object, but soon discovered that it was not.

Finally, Qingchen opened the letter.

"You've already left, so why leave a letter?" Qingchen resisted opening the letter because he would think of that parting time under the morning sun.

In the letter was a farewell handwritten by the old man.

"Boy, when you read this letter, I should have already said goodbye to you on the cliff of the green mountain. From now on, it will be difficult for you and me to see each other again. You run towards the morning sun, and I turn into dust."

"This map is the route and timetable of the forbidden ACE-012 steam train."

"That gold coin was something I carried with me when I was young."

"The steam train travels around the Federation every 27 days. Its journey has nothing to do with the passengers. No matter who is sitting on the train, it will follow its own goal, chase the wind of the wilderness, pass through the Thunderhill Plains, and climb over the clouds and mist. It will go to the farthest snow-capped mountains, the grasslands in the north, and the sea in the south."

"When I was young, I envied it. I thought it was so free. I could go where I wanted to go."

"So at that time, I prepared a gold coin and took it with me, thinking that if one day I could meet it by chance in the wilderness, then I would spend 27 days following it around the Commonwealth and become a knight like A romantic person. Let those who come after me and ask me to handle official business get angry. Haha."

"Pack your bags, prepare food and water for 27 days, as well as a change of clothes, and use taboo items for an easy trip."

"Perhaps someone else will get on the bus and get off the bus during the journey. He may be a prisoner who escaped for his life, or he may be a rich girl who escaped from marriage, or he may be a traveler like me."

"Perhaps the breeze on the journey blew in from the car window, and I watched the scenery recede behind me. If someone from my family calls me on the satellite phone, I will tell them seriously that I am talking to the world, don't disturb me. "

"However, I don't have the qualifications to be willful."

"So I never have the chance to use this gold coin."

"Now I leave it to you."

The letter ended abruptly here.

At this time, Qingchen finally fully understood the true meaning of "If you allow me one ounce of gold and one ounce of wind when I am young again".

It turns out that the old man's biggest wish when he was a boy was to take a steam train and travel around the Commonwealth.

And this tael of gold is young Li Xiurui's ticket to freedom.

Qingchen wiped the corners of his eyes silently, memorized all the contents on the map, and then burned it.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Qingchen frowned, who would come to him at this time?

He glanced at the surveillance outside the door and saw a shadow...

I impersonated the other party several times throughout the night, and after being warned by the other party, I impersonated him several more times.

Shadow is here to investigate.

Qingchen held his breath and pretended not to be at home...

However, he is certain that the condition for using the Shadow Gate is that it must go to a place where the host has been.

But I heard the shadow sneer outside the door: "Open the door, you have the guts to continue to pretend to be me despite my warning, but you don't have the guts to open the door? If you want to wait for me to open this door by myself, just wait to die."

Qingchen silently walked over to open the door and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Shadow, didn't we just meet a few hours ago? Why are we here again?"

The shadow passed by him and looked at the dust in the room: "Clean it quickly, it's annoying to look at it."

These words also seemed to be talking about Qingchen, who was annoyed when he saw Qingchen now.

Shadow stood by the window and said: "Do you know that apart from you and Qing Boring, I have only met other time walkers once. Qing Ye is the one who releases tasks. When he releases tasks, You still have to carry my electronic beacon, so that you can truly ‘make a shadow’?”

Shadow continued: "After you pretended to be me, all the candidates felt weird and didn't dare to ask directly, which made me prepare to go to bed in the middle of the night. As a result, I received several calls from their parents, all of whom were Asking sideways what's going on."

The shadow candidates are not stupid. If they feel doubtful, they will certainly try their best to confirm the authenticity of the shadow.

However, in this unsubtle scam, the only thing Qingchen deserves to rely on is not his acting skills or his understanding of the shadow's way of speaking, but the shadow himself.

When candidates have doubts, they will go to the shadow to confirm, and the shadow will help Qingchen apply the patch.

Qingchen asked happily and curiously: "What did you tell them?"

"What else can I say?" Shadow said angrily: "I asked, why, is it because I can't speak well?"

Shadow said: "Isn't Keiichi one of yours? You even lied to him, but you're still not a human being?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said: "So, why are you so nice to me? I have always had a doubt about this. I am obviously a time traveler and a person from the world, but you have helped me a lot. Why."

Shadow stood in front of the window and turned around and asked: "How do you know that you must be from the outside world?"

Qingchen was stunned on the spot.

The hidden meaning behind this sentence is too amazing.
