The world brightened again.
Countdown 168:00:00.
Another seven-day travel cycle.
Qing Chen was back in the war fortress, with Zheng Yuandong, Little Seven, and others.
Zard and Huan Yu were also there. It was still Xiaoyu before the last time travel, but now it's Dayu… It's amazing.
"In this time travel, we completed the task of guiding the scientists and the evacuation of the Guardians' Union's main force. Thank you, you've worked hard," Qing Chen said solemnly.
Little Seven smiled and said, "It wasn't hard, Leader. You guessed everything right. The Shendai people really went to kill Gaowen, and there were two groups of them, all of whom were caught by us. Those little devils were quite clever. The first group was actually bait, trying to trick us into lowering our guard."
Qing Chen nodded: "Protect Gaowen. There are too many such righteous people killed in history. Since we have seen history, we must learn something from it."
At this time, Chen Zhuoqu and others had already left Whale Island, and the 112 messengers had just come out of their lost mood.
Little Seven asked: "Leader, should I just arrange for them to cultivate and farm every day? When we arrive at the Inner World, what should we do as "messengers'? We can't just be idle."Qing Chen looked at all the messengers and said: "I need you to do one thing now, which may take a year to complete, or it may take several years. During this period, when you return, you will stay on this Whale Island to cultivate, and when you travel, you will complete the task under Little Seven's leadership. When other students play, you cannot play; when other students go home for winter and summer vacations, you cannot go home; when other students are in love, you cannot be in love. You will face danger and endure loneliness. The Knight and Guardians' Union's medals of merit will not have your names, and you will not even have names, only serial numbers... Are you willing?"
He didn't say what he wanted these people to do, or even what dangers they might face.
Little Seven scratched his head and said: "I have no problem. As long as this helps your cause, I have no problem. To be honest, I'm quite envious of Xiao San. Although it's a little disgusting, he's so important to the Guardians' Union now... Now it's my turn, and I'm quite happy."
"What about the others?" Qing Chen looked at the students: "You can't go home for several years, you can't make new friends... This will delay your youth for several years. Maybe when things are over, you will no longer be young. Are you willing?"
Ye Han took a deep breath and said: "I am willing. I didn't climb up last time, this time I will definitely succeed!"
"I'm willing! Anyway, I don't want to go home, and no one wants to date me!"
"Me too!"
Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Zheng Yuandong: "Please, Zheng Boss, cast the secret-keeping spell on these 112 messengers, including Little Seven."
Zheng Yuandong looked at Qing Chen thoughtfully: "You have a very important task for them?"
"Yes," Qing Chen nodded: "Very important, and there can't be a single leak. It can't fail."
"I'm just about to hand over the black True Sight Eye to you. After I cast the secret-keeping spell, I'll give it to you," Zheng Yuandong said.
"Give it to Boss He directly. I'm sorry, Zheng Boss. Boss He used conditions I couldn't refuse to exchange for six months of use," Qing Chen said.
"Don't apologize to me," Zheng Yuandong said with a smile: "This was originally something you exchanged for with the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique, and you have the right to decide its ownership."
Qing Chen shook his head without saying anything.
He said sorry because Zheng Yuandong wanted the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique to find a way out for all the Time Travelers in the Academy, not for his own selfish desires.
The other party used his own things to exchange for the happiness of the collective. This behavior itself is admirable. Qing Chen exchanged the black True Sight Eye, even if it was only for six months of use, he had to tell Zheng Boss.
Zheng Yuandong curiously asked: "What is the task you gave these messengers? Can you tell me?"
Qing Chen said: "I can only say that the ultimate goal is to kill a person who can create puppets. I can't say more."
"Understood," Zheng Yuandong said: "It only takes three hours for me to cast the secret-keeping spell on all of them."
"Thank you," Qing Chen nodded, he looked at the 112 messengers and Little Seven: "From today on, you are the hidden blade I have, and when it is unsheathed again, it will be fatal with one blow."
At this time, Zard was a little curious: "Wait a minute, Boss…"
Dayu said angrily: "I'm still here, do you think I'm air?"
Zard said embarrassedly: "Ah, seven days ago, I still had Xiaoyu beside me, I forgot, sorry."
"So you just called him Boss when Xiaoyu was around?" Dayu raised his eyebrows: "You don't plan to hide your rebellious thoughts anymore?"
"No more, no more!" Zard begged for mercy: "Xiao San, Little Seven, they all have tasks, it's so enviable, can you give me some tasks too? Or let me assassinate some important figure in Shendai, then I'll even tear up his children's homework."
Dayu: "…Why would you tear up other people's children's homework?!"
"Retaliation!" Zard said as a matter of course: "I can't kill children, so I'll tear up their homework. Isn't it cool, isn't it cruel?"
Dayu was silent for a while: "…That's really cruel."
Actually, Dayu felt a little awkward at this moment.
Qing Chen just arranged a lot of things in front of him, as if subconsciously treating him as one of his own.
Dayu wanted to leave proudly, thinking that he didn't want to eavesdrop on their information.
But he also wanted to know what Qing Chen was planning to do…
To be honest, Dayu had thought for a long time and didn't know how to kill that Puppeteer, but Qing Chen quickly came up with a solution, which made Dayu feel a little unconvinced…
At this time, Qing Chen said: "Zard and Huan Yu, you will first help the settlements complete the water conservancy project…"
Dayu thought for a moment and subconsciously replied: "Good… my ass!"
He turned and left the war fortress.
Qing Chen smiled and looked at the messengers again.
These messengers no longer had names; they were called 001, 002, 003... until 112. Qing Chen placed his bet on these people.
To kill the person who made the puppets, there was only this one way. Once he set foot on this path, Qing Chen had no intention of turning back, and he didn't care if the whole world was against him.
At this time, Little Seven said: "By the way, Boss, Xiao Tongyun suddenly withdrew 32 pieces of Purple Orchid Star a few days ago, saying that she kept them in the dormitory for backup, so that she wouldn't have to come and get them every time she used them up. I saw that there were still a lot of stocks at that time, so I gave them to her. At that time, you were busy arranging the guidance of scientists, so I didn't tell you."
32 pieces of Purple Orchid Star were a drop in the bucket for the Agricultural Academy, and it was not worth Little Seven specifically telling Qing Chen about this.
But Little Seven remembered this, and felt something was wrong.
Qing Chen pondered for a moment: "Take it then, I have something to find her, I'll ask her what she used these Purple Orchid Star for."
32 pieces of Purple Orchid Star was enough for a person to seamlessly connect for 224 days, more than half a year.
He called Li Tongyun and wanted her to bring Xiao Zhenji to find him.
As a result, Xiao Tongyun was out of service area.
Strange, there is an independent signal base station on Whale Island, how could it be out of service area?
He first went to the place where Li Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji usually cultivated, but no one was there.
He went to the dormitory area again and knocked on the door.
Jiang Xue opened the door wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt. In the past, she didn't dare to wear short sleeves in the Outer World, afraid that people would see her mechanical arm.
On Whale Island, she felt more relaxed, there were thousands of Time Travelers with Cybernetic Limbs here, she felt happy on Whale Island, teaching art, and she didn't have to suffer from the strange looks of others, nor did her ex-husband harass her.
The elder sister was still as gentle as ever: "Qing Chen, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for Li Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji. Aren't they in the dormitory?" Qing Chen asked.
"No, they may have gone to the island to cultivate again," Jiang Xue said helplessly: "Xiao Tongyun insists on forcing Xiao Zhenji to cultivate, I can't stop her, I can't lock her in the room... Later I found out that she actually had a sense of proportion, so I didn't interfere anymore."
Qing Chen shook his head: "They are not in the cultivation place."
Speaking of which, he went into the room to look at Xiao Zhenji and Li Tongyun's beds.
Well, they took their personal belongings with them, and even took Xiao Zhenji's favorite toy, which Qing Chen bought for her in Japan.
Li Tongyun also took the Forbidden Artifact ACE-119 tissue box.
Now that he thinks about it, she had already made up her mind to run away from home, planning that as long as she reaches B-Class, she would no longer be beaten.
Therefore, she would cultivate the Zhunti Method to B-Class first, and then re-cultivate the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique, so that it would not delay her running away from home.
It has to be said that people with good cultivation talent are so willful...
"Where did they go?" Jiang Xue curiously asked.
"Don't worry, it will be fine," Qing Chen said with a smile: "Just treat these two girls as going to summer camp, someone will take care of them. I'm leaving too, everything on Whale Island needs Jiang Xue aunt to take care of."
Jiang Xue nodded: "Yes, I will."
Qing Chen left the island on his first day back.
He was going to go his own way.
Watch the snow, kill some people.
...
...
A cargo plane from Zheng City to Haicheng, the Knights sat beside the shelves, a little dejected. What about the private jet and celebrity party?
"Master, isn't this a lie? He said there were four private jets, but everyone is on a cargo plane, there aren't even chairs, we can only sit on the express delivery pile, this is too different from what he described," Zhang Hubao was shocked on the plane: "What about the most professional coaching team?"
These Knights were all wearing Hu's Express uniforms, and hadn't showered for several days. They were disheveled and almost collapsed.
Hu Xiaoniu laughed, "Did Master say that to you? It's okay, you'll get used to it. Tricking disciples is a tradition of the Knight Order. You'll have the opportunity to branch out in the future, and you can trick them too."In the cabin, Zhang Tianzhen said with a smile: "There are professional coaches, and there are celebrity parties, but this is not something you should worry about now. You are still weak now, and you can't even appear openly. If four Hu Family Group private jets were used to transport you to Haicheng, wouldn't that be announcing your whereabouts to the whole world? So before you have completed the Eight Trials of Life and Death, honestly keep a low profile."
Hu Xiaoniu smiled and said: "You have already boarded Qingshan Cliff, and the first training course will be diving, the second will be skydiving, the third will be mountain biking, the fourth will be wingsuit flying... In the last one, I will take you on a fishing boat, like Master, to go out to sea to find a sea storm."
Zhang Tianzhen smiled and said: "Catch Emperor Crab in the most dangerous place, ride a mountain bike to jump down in the most dangerous place, and face the 30-meter high tide without fear. Compared with private jets and celebrity parties, this is the most romantic thing in your life. You are Knights, but you must really pay sweat and effort to become real Knights. And before that, no one can know your existence."
Hu Xiaoniu also said: "After getting off the plane, everyone is a normal porter. After 6 hours, there will be an unlabeled bus to pick you up one by one to your destination."
"Understood," Ye Han nodded.
I still have to work. The cargo on this plane was moved by them...
How can Knights be so awful when it comes to their apprentices?!
However, at this moment, there was a movement in their luggage pile, Hu Xiaoniu was immediately shocked, and Zhang Tianzhen immediately drew a short knife from his waist and protected Hu Xiaoniu.
Zhang Tianzhen said coldly: "Who is it, come out!"
"Don't be nervous, it's us."
Li Tongyun and Xiao Zhenji crawled out of a 28-inch suitcase.
Xiao Tongyun quickly tidied her hair and Xiao Zhenji's hair. She maintained Xiao Zhenji's dignity as the "third senior sister"...
She said nonchalantly: "Cough, cough, I have already advanced to B-Class, your Master sent me to be your Guardian. I was hiding in the suitcase just now to see your vigilance, to see if anyone could find me, and I was very disappointed."
Hu Xiaoniu said: "Tongyun... I'll call Master as soon as I get off the plane."
Xiao Tongyun panicked: "No, no, no, no!"
