Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 490: You Can Hit Me

City 10.

In the basement of the Caramel Bar, this is where the Secret Spy Agency uses the most primitive methods to preserve its data.

There's always a man named Qing Shen sitting there, he used to be called Xiao Shen, now that he's old, everyone calls him Old Shen.

He's always prepared, if someone invades, he'll detonate everything here and perish in the flames with the intruder.

In the inner room, a Shadow Gate opens.

Shadow walks out, takes off his baseball cap and mask, sits comfortably on the sofa opposite Old Shen, and closes his eyes.

The next moment, his heart stops, his breathing stops, all time bypasses him, only surging around him.

Old Shen complains to himself: "When you used to come in through the Shadow Gate, I didn't say anything, but can you open the door opposite me in the future... I'm old and my heart isn't good, you always appear so suddenly, I'll be scared to death by you sooner or later."

"By the way, recently, the little guys in the Secret Spy Agency keep asking me if there's a mission to rescue Qing Chen, what's your attitude, give me an answer, so that I can reply to them. You don't say anything all day, what am I supposed to do here?!"

"Also, my memory is getting worse and worse recently, I'm likely to get Alzheimer's disease. Hey, no one ever said that the Qing Family bloodline would degenerate in old age, it's not recorded in the materials either, is it because of the injuries I suffered when I was young? Why is everyone else okay, but I'm not..."

In the small room, only Old Shen was rambling on and on, he didn't seem to care whether Shadow could hear him or not.

And the Shadow opposite him revealed his Face[-] to Old Shen after taking off his baseball cap.

The basement of this Caramel Bar seems to be one of the few places where he can take off his disguise.

With a thud.

The clear heartbeat resumes.

Shadow said calmly, "You chose to sit here yourself, think about retirement when you really start to have amnesia."

Old Shen sighed: "Capitalists would cry after hearing this."

Shadow said: "I'm one of the biggest capitalists in the Federation, isn't it normal to exploit you?"

"Whatever," Old Shen threw Shadow a phone: "Someone from Shendai is looking for you, it's an old guy who hasn't appeared for a long time, do you want to return his call?"

Shadow thought for a moment: "This is interesting."

He called back, Old Shen glanced at him: "It's impolite to call someone so late."

Shadow glanced at Old Shen: "I'd rather that old guy die suddenly when he answers the phone at night."

Old Shen opened his mouth: "The phone is already connected."

A hoarse voice on the other end of the phone said calmly: "No matter how much you hope I die suddenly, you shouldn't say it on the phone."

"Hahahaha," Shadow laughed: "I haven't heard your voice for a long time, old man, this gives me a feeling of calling an antique across time and space, even I'm getting a little decayed... tell me, what's up."

The voice on the other end of the phone said: "I want to cooperate with you."

"What kind of cooperation?"

"I can't say yet, I invite you to a northern meeting."

Shadow sneered: "Playing tricks, no need to talk, I won't cooperate with Shendai."

"You and I have common interests."

"I have no common interests with Shendai."

After speaking, Shadow hung up the phone.

Old Shen had a bit of a toothache: "You should at least get some information out of him."

Shadow shook his head: "He won't say it on the phone, and I guess I know what's going on."

Old Shen stood up and took a wine glass from a small compartment behind him, filling it halfway with white wine: "You're going on a long journey."

"Yeah," Shadow raised his glass and drank it down: "Not only am I going on a long journey, many people will be with me."

On the northern wilderness mountain road, several crows in black cloaks were trekking in the cold wind.

At first, many people thought they would stay in the town outside Forbidden Zone 065, but they unexpectedly crossed the town and continued north.

However, after passing through the civilized model town, everyone lost track of them, and no one knew where their destination was this time.

Moreover, there were a few strange people mixed in with these crows, although they were not from the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal, they were wearing the same cloaks as the crows.

At this time, Si Yue walked among the mountains, looking helplessly at Li Ke, Li Yunjing, and others behind her: "Can you... stop following us?"

Li Ke thought for a moment and said, "You guys have been hitching rides with us before."

Si Yue felt a little guilty: "Then... then you can't wear the same cloak as us, people will think of you as crows too. Uncle Yunjing, you're one of the top experts in the Federation, why are you using us as cover?"

Li Ke said, "There's nothing special about this cloak, anyone can wear it, and I've even seen students cosplaying you at a cosplay show! Why don't you say something about those people!"

Si Yue was speechless, is that the same?

They are cosplaying, you want to disguise yourselves as crows to avoid being noticed and attacked!

She just felt that Li Ke was precocious, she tricked Fire Pit from the Southwest, and now she's come up with a bad idea, pretending to be crows to avoid attention.

She always hitched rides, but now her identity has been hitched by others, where does she go to reason?

Si Yue said: "Our Boss is coming to meet up soon!"

"Don't worry, we'll leave when your Boss arrives," Li Ke comforted her.

At this time, a girl wearing a cloak behind her quickly walked forward, smiling sweetly: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, everyone eat apples! It's lively to have more people in these desolate mountains and forests!"

The old man at the back looked at this scene and muttered softly: "Bad luck!"

...

...

Countdown 112:00:00.

A02 Base.

The prisoners walked out of the prison area and saw the newly built stone wall... for some reason, they felt a sense of relief.

These days, Qing Chen's speed of building the stone wall is getting slower and slower.

It's not that he's slacking off, compromising, or discouraged.

But the hunger and cold have made him weaker and weaker, so he can only work slower and slower.

Shendai soldiers told Qing Chen that if he dared to secretly slaughter a pig to eat, they would kill ten Qing Family intelligence officers for every pig he killed.

The prisoners saw all this, so they suddenly started to worry, what if they woke up one day and the boy had fallen?

Fortunately, he hasn't fallen yet, a new stone wall has been built, although it will be demolished by Shendai soldiers soon.

A prisoner muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing, knowing that this is a meaningless thing, why don't you save your energy."

"Or let's persuade him when we pass the pigsty later, let him stop being stupid."

At this time, an elderly Qing Family intelligence officer suddenly said: "He's not building a wall, but a belief, maybe he's also afraid that one day he stops, and his will will be knocked down like that wall. Don't sneer, you can be in the dark and dare not resist, it's human nature, but you can't praise the darkness for it."

A prisoner mumbled: "What nonsense, can you say something everyone can understand."

A young prisoner watched for a while and said: "I was sent here just because I fell in love with a High Caste girl, and her father sent me here. I don't understand your reasoning, nor your bullshit faith and beliefs. I've just been living a repetitive life that I can see through in this place for three years. Now there's finally an interesting person, I'm afraid he won't build walls anymore, I'm afraid that one day he'll become as muddle-headed as we are..."

This kind of fear.

It's an indescribable emotion in the hearts of all the prisoners.

They think Qing Chen is stupid, but they also hope Qing Chen can continue to be stupid.

They don't have the courage to challenge Shendai, but they hope someone can challenge them.

As if they were also participating in it, resisting the oppression in A02 Base.

If one day this young man falls, gives up, and is discouraged, they will also feel lost and despair.

The little spark that had just ignited in everyone's heart would be extinguished again.

At this time, a Li Clan prisoner suddenly said: "Actually, he's also building it for us to see."

The prisoners were puzzled: "What do you mean?"

But before they got an explanation, Shendai soldiers came over with whips, whipping each of the people who had just spoken, beating the prisoners until they were miserable and covered in blood.

The prisoners were driven towards the mountain stone field, bustling with activity.

However, as they passed the pigsty, a Qing Family intelligence officer suddenly threw a protein bar towards Qing Chen.

That was their reward for spitting and throwing stones, almost everyone ate it on the day, who would have thought that someone would still have it hidden, and then throw the rare supplies to Qing Chen.

Dozens of Shendai soldiers saw this scene and immediately rushed over, some of them wanted to take back the protein bar that Qing Chen had picked up, but he looked at Qing Chen, and didn't dare to enter the pigsty to snatch it.

He's afraid he won't be able to get out if he goes in.

The Shendai soldiers turned around and angrily whipped the prisoners: "Who threw it! Who threw the protein bar to him!? From now on, the first one to report can be exempted from labor for a week!"

A prisoner suddenly raised his hand: "I'll report!"

The Shendai soldiers laughed, they have been using this trick for decades, their predecessors used it, and they also used it, it has never failed.

These cowardly prisoners will never be able to unite, they were overthinking it.

"Say, who threw it, whoever reports it will be exempted from labor for a week," said the Shendai soldiers.

The Qing Family intelligence officer smiled: "Report to the officer, I report myself, it was me who threw it!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

After speaking, the prisoner squatted on the ground and covered his head: "You can hit me."

Qing Chen was stunned, the prisoners were stunned, and the Shendai soldiers were also stunned.

No one ever thought that the informant would give this answer.

The method used for decades didn't work for the first time.

The Shendai soldiers rushed forward, their whips fell like a violent storm, each lash of the thin leather whip left deep wounds on the prisoner.

Until his synthetic winter clothes were whipped to pieces.

Qing Chen watched silently, without shouting or blaming himself.

He knew why this happened and knew that there was nothing he could do now.

Qing Chen bent down, chewing on the protein bar, while picking up stones to continue building the stone wall that had just been pushed down.

When he was in City 18, he had tasted a protein bar once, it tasted like wax.

And this protein bar was even worse than the last one, but its aroma was exceptionally rich.

The Shendai soldiers pointed at Qing Chen and sneered at the prisoners: "See, you're being beaten, but he's eating! Look up, does he have sympathy for you? Does he have any self-blame?!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd threw another protein bar into the pigsty.

"Report to the officer, you can hit me."
