The Meeting of Two Time Walkers!

"Isn't there any exchange?" Qing Chen asked curiously, "Like, helping you meet up in real life again? Or doing something else for you?"

"No need this time," Yi replied.

Qing Chen sensed something was off. "How about I help you meet up in person again? Otherwise, I'm not really comfortable taking this Forbidden Item of yours..."

The Forbidden Item, ACE-011, is a sniper rifle that Yang Xiaojin once used, and it is currently in Yi's possession.

But Qing Chen really couldn't understand why Yi was willing to give him her mother's belongings for free.

In the past, wouldn't Yi have caused some trouble?

"I told you there were no conditions to be exchanged this time," Yi replied. "Annoying."

"Alright," Qing Chen asked, "Then why give it to me?"

"Because you have met the conditions for the gift," Yi said calmly. "My mother said that if someone is patient, resilient, calm, and has a talent for using firearms, I can give them the sniper rifle. However, this sniper rifle is not in City No. 18 right now, and I will be able to give it to you in a while. I hope that when you do, you will not let this sniper rifle down and will not disgrace its reputation."

Qing Chen nodded. "I see. I will cherish it."

However, he always felt that things were not so simple. After all, there were many people in the Federation who met the requirements for a sniper, so why did he give it to himself instead of someone else?

There must be a special reason.

"By the way, what's so special about the Forbidden Item ACE-011?" Qing Chen asked.

"I've never seen anyone use it, so I only know some data on paper. After all, my mother, Yang Xiaojin, hasn't used it since I was born," Yi said after thinking for a moment. "The only thing I'm relatively clear about is some shooting data, and also, it can be stored inside the body."

"Wait, this sniper rifle can be stored inside the body?" Qing Chen exclaimed in shock.

"Yes," Yi replied calmly.

Qing Chen knew very well how terrifying a sniper rifle that could be carried around without taking up much space or weight could be.

It's important to know that a typical anti-materiel sniper rifle weighs around 12 kilograms and is over 1.2 meters long, making it very inconvenient to carry around.

However, if the sniper rifle could be stored inside the body, this problem would be immediately solved.

At this point, Yi continued, "The total length of the Forbidden Item ACE-011 is 1.4 meters, with a 12.7 mm caliber. It does not require an additional flash suppressor and has an effective range of 2,600 meters."

Qing Chen was truly shocked this time. The effective range of a regular 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle is only 1600 meters, but this Forbidden Item can actually reach 2600 meters.

That defies common sense.

However, when Qing Chen realized that this thing was Forbidden Item, well then, it's fine.

"Speaking of which," Qing Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Actually, your parents are still alive, right? If Ren Xiaosu is dead, then this sniper rifle should have disappeared along with him."

"Yes," Yi replied calmly.

Qing Chen inwardly exclaimed, "Just as I thought!": "Are they still in the Federation?"

"She's gone, she went on a trip," Yi said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Qing Chen suddenly realized that the "going on a trip" part of the sentence wasn't so simple...

"The Forbidden Item ACE-005 is called 'Dafu,' so what is the Forbidden Item ACE-011 called?" Qing Chen asked.

"It's called 'Conquer by Virtue'," Yi replied.

"Huh?" Qing Chen was taken aback.

"It is said that my father told my mother not to be so fond of fighting and killing, but to convince others with virtue," explained Yi. "So my mother carved the word 'virtue' on the butt of the gun. From then on, when someone shoots to kill, it is to convince others with virtue."

To be honest, Qing Chen wasn't this shocked when Yi first introduced the Forbidden Item.

"Are your parents always so unpredictable?" Qing Chen said blankly, "But when I think about how they are also related to knights, I'm not so surprised anymore."

"You'll get used to it," Yi said calmly. "I feel like I'm the most normal person in our family."

"By the way, where is this sniper rifle now?" Qing Chen asked.

"Hidden beneath Prison No. 10 is something else entirely," Yi said. "Since you're going to help Liu Dezhu clear his name, it'll be a natural way for him to bring this Forbidden Item out and see the light of day again. Don't worry, I won't tell him what it is when he gets out."

Making friends with Little Rich Girl definitely has its advantages. Look, I've gained a Forbidden Item for free.

Qing Chen thought to himself, "So these prisons all hide Forbidden Item beneath them? And with 26 prisons in the entire Federation, does that mean...?"

Suddenly, Yi said, "Don't overthink it. There aren't any in other prisons. Don't try anything funny here."

"Alright," Qing Chen, somewhat reluctantly, but he quickly frowned again. "What if the Forbidden Item gets lost on his way to City No. 18?"

Yi calmly replied, "Don't worry, it won't be lost."

This is absolute self-confidence.

Just then, there was a knock on Qing Chen's single dormitory room. Someone said, "Hey, you new guy, we have a mission. Hurry up and get ready to go with the boss."

Qing Chen's expression changed slightly, because the voice... was very familiar.

Moreover, the voice was very abrupt to him; he hadn't expected the other person to appear here!

As he spoke, the person outside muttered, "He just got back from vacation and this kind of awful thing happens, and he still has to go on a mission late at night... burp!"

The door opened, and the Xiao Ying from Kunlun outside saw Qing Chen inside and immediately stopped talking in fright.

The Xiao Ying stared at Qing Chen in astonishment, while Qing Chen looked at him expressionlessly. These two "old acquaintances" from the Outer World had met so abruptly...

For Qing Chen, there are only three people he is most familiar with in the entire Kunlun: Zheng Yuandong, Lu Yuan, and Xiao Ying. Zheng Yuandong is the boss, with a calm and wise personality, and his hidden strength may be very high; Lu Yuan is the head of the special operations department, bold and meticulous; Xiao Ying is a daredevil who dares to crash into any car.

In the corridor outside the dormitory, one could hear the footsteps of other security personnel leaving.

Qing Chen asked softly, "Is there a mission?"

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and come downstairs with me to meet up. The vehicle is already waiting at Feiyun Courtyard," Xiao Ying said, coming back to his senses. He knew that Qing Chen was reminding him not to reveal his identity as Time Walker, or else none of them would be in good trouble.

A group of people walked down the stairs, and Qing Chen followed in the crowd. Every now and then, security personnel would look at him with surprise.

Half of these security personnel had watched Qing Chen's matches with Li Changqing, so they had all seen how the young man defeated Miao Qifeng was in a higher class, in the Octagon Cage.

No one looked down on Qing Chen's status as an underground boxer; on the contrary, they admired his fighting skills. They wondered if they were only E-Class and had to face Miao Qifeng, they would have died in the Octagon Cage.

However, everyone knows why Qing Chen was recruited into Li Changqing's special operations team... what a pity...

A group of people downstairs received the weapons distributed by Old Liu. The convoy had been replaced by ground-based off-road vehicles instead of the hovercars that Li Changqing used to ride in.

Moreover, these off-road vehicles have no markings whatsoever.

Qing Chen observed silently. The special operations team that went out on this mission consisted of 26 people, traveling in 7 off-road vehicles.

Those off-road vehicles had a rugged appearance, looking like ferocious wild beasts; they were clearly vehicles designed for traversing the wilderness.

Not only that, but Xiao Gong and Wang Bingxu were also among them.

If we include Old Liu, this team now has two B-Class experts. What exactly is Li Changqing trying to do? If he's just going to interfere in gang conflicts, he shouldn't need to bring such a high-level team.

At this moment, Wang Bingxu's gaze swept across the crowd, completely unaware of Qing Chen, an old acquaintance.

Qing Chen had appeared before as a wilderness hunter, but the boy and Li Shutong had dust on their faces that time. Wang Bingxu's attention was on the Kamishiro Family at that time, and he was soon attacked by the Wilderness People, so he didn't pay much attention to him and didn't recognize him now.

The Old Liu simply instructed, "Tonight, your mission is to protect the boss's safety. Remember your mission: City No. 18 is now more dangerous than City No. 1. Get in the car."

The next moment, everyone got into the car. When Qing Chen saw Xiao Ying get into the No. 2 SUV, he immediately walked to the back to avoid riding with this daredevil.

Before he could even take two steps, Li Changqing, who was in the back seat of SUV No. 2, rolled down the window and waved to him, saying, "Qing Chen, get in my car."

The security personnel in the special operations team exchanged strange glances, each thinking to themselves, "Just as I thought..."

But there was something even more surprising: Old Liu had someone bring out a sniper rifle pouch and stuff it into the huge trunk of the No. 2 SUV.

This is very strange. There are snipers in the special operations team, but at this time the sniper is sitting in vehicle number 6, and the sniper rifle has already been loaded into vehicle number 6.

If that's the case, why prepare a second sniper rifle?

Seeing that Qing Chen was standing still, Li Changqing said again, "Hurry up, don't waste time."

Qing Chen reluctantly climbed into the back seat of car number 2, while Old Liu, in the passenger seat, used a walkie-talkie to give instructions. "Let's go."

Seven off-road vehicles roared out of the Banshan Manor and sped towards the Fourth District.

The Xiao Ying cautiously peered into the back seat through the rearview mirror inside the car.

But then Li Changqing earnestly instructed Qing Chen, "This car number 2 is bulletproof. If you encounter any danger later, just stay in the car and don't move. The others will handle the problem."

Xiao Ying thought to himself, "Is this what you call legitimate security? What boss would tell legitimate security personnel to stay in the car and not move in case of danger?"

He was deeply shocked...

Because of his identity in both the outer and Inner World, he knew of Nan Gengchen's existence and what role Nan Gengchen played beside Li Yinuo. But he never expected that even a ruthless character like Qing Chen would take this path!

Furthermore, shouldn't Qing Chen Nan Gengchen belong to the same organization in the Outer World? What kind of organizational culture is this?

Thinking about this, Xiao Ying actually felt a little envious.

Please vote for me, bosses!
