In He Xiaoxiao's group chat.

Chuang Wang: "Have you seen what's happening in Europe? Their A-level fighters seem pretty formidable. I wonder Boss He and Boss Zheng could handle them?"

Huan Yu: "According to reliable inside information, Boss Zheng actually fought with that Mike. The two sides did not win or lose, but Mike's injuries were obviously more than Boss Zheng's."

Chuang Wang asked curiously, "It seems there's no organization like the Tribunal of Taboos in North America, so many Forbidden Item circulate freely among the people. You can even trade Forbidden Item, bartering for what suits you best. Are you interested in forming a team to go to North America, pull off a heist, and steal some Forbidden Item?"

It must be said that the Chuang Wang did present a situation that differed somewhat from the one described on the other side.

In the Inner World Federation, it is said that nearly two-fifths of the Forbidden Item have been taken into custody by the Tribunal of Taboos. That is to say, of the more than 500 registered Forbidden Item, more than 200 are in the Tribunal of Taboos.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Inner World to obtain a Forbidden Item because it is scarce.

In North America, all Forbidden Item are scattered among the people, and there is even a situation where they are exchanged among each other. If you feel that your Forbidden Item is not useful or not suitable for you, you can exchange it with others.

With the exception of a few items that can directly cause harm, the Forbidden Item items are mostly functional and can only play their maximum role in the hands of the right person.

Just like how Kabri can only be effective when controlled by Qing Chen...

Zard scoffed, "Have you lost your mind? Running off to North America, a place you know nothing about, to their home turf, to steal their Forbidden Item? They abuse gene-editing drugs there. Regardless of the side effects, their average strength is definitely higher than ours. Going there is practically suicide, isn't it?"

The Chuang Wang: "We also have powerful Time Walker!"

Zard ignored Chuang Wang and suddenly Forbidden Item: "Boss He, I heard that the reason why Kamishiro and Kashima gathered in Europe this time was actually to hunt down Qing Chen, a member of Daylight, is that right?"

There has been no response Forbidden Item ACE-999...

The other members in the group were stunned. They didn't know that the world-shaking event was actually related to their local Time Walker.

Nobody's mentioning it in the trending topics!

Zard continued to tag @ Forbidden Item -999: "At least say something, Jiuzhou is a foreign affairs agency, aren't you involved in European affairs?"

Forbidden Item ACE-999: "Adhering to the principle of not interfering in the internal affairs of other Time Walker organizations, Jiuzhou has never participated in the struggles between organizations. We feel deep sympathy and regret for the Time Walker from Kamishiro, Kashima, and Future Organization who died this time..."

Everyone understood; Jiuzhou must have been involved...

It's just that their participation was done in a rather secretive way, so no one noticed.

Even if they weren't actually involved, Jiuzhou is definitely gloating right now.

But that's alright. When we're poor, we should be friendly with our neighbors; when we're rich, the beautiful grassland is my home. Everyone understands that.

At this point, Zard directly tagged Ice Eye in the group chat. "Bro, are you still alive?"

Ice Eye did not reply.

Right now, Qing Chen is still on the cargo ship supervising the crew's tuna fishing, and there's no cell phone signal at all.

Zard sent a tearful voice message in the group. "My idol, a member of Daylight, died in a foreign land. I'm going to Europe to find his body and bring it back to give him a proper burial..."

Huan Yu suddenly said, "Could you please stop acting so dramatic?"

Zard: "Okay."

In fact, Huan Yu instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

He bought more reliable information directly from the dark web, which claimed that the Radiant Glory had dozens of sniper rifle bullet holes.

Many people in Europe didn't pay much attention to the firearms, but Huan Yu and Baizhou had fought several times, so they knew very well that Baizhou was there at the time.

If it were just Qing Chen, then it would make sense for Kabri to kill Qing Chen.

But if the boss of Daylight was also there, how could Kabri, a C-Class, possibly kill him?!

It's worth noting that Zhang San, one of his subordinates, was also a C-Class expert. He once led over a hundred men to chase the enemy for dozens of streets, but in the end, his men were wiped out instead.

You think someone like Boss Baizhou would be killed by someone as worthless as Kabri? That's a joke!

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best may be your enemy.

This statement applies perfectly to Huan Yu. Many people now believe that Qing Chen is dead, but Huan Yu alone does not.

Therefore, Huan Yu thinks it's very important that if Boss Baizhou and Qing Chen couldn't have died after encountering Kabri, then where did they go?

What role did it play in this matter?

He felt that this matter was not simple.

Given Bai Zhou's ability to stir up trouble, someone told Huan Yu that the European civil war was actually caused by Bai Zhou.

He believed it too.

Chuang Wang suddenly said, "I feel that Time Walker in other regions are more united. Aside from the two major Time Walker organizations, there are very few 'freelancers' in North America. But it seems that's not the case in our country. What will we do if the people from North America attack us one day?"

Jingshan suddenly said in the group, "Kunlun will be organizing the Time Walker' Federation in Zhengcheng. The event will be held soon. Kunlun will send invitations to all Time Walker who have joined the group chat system. Everyone is welcome to sign up."

Everyone was stunned when they saw this message. It meant that Jiuzhou and Kunlun had reached a deal. Had Jiuzhou agreed to share this group chat with Kunlun?

It seems that Kunlun has also realized a problem: regardless of whether they incorporate the Time Walker into Kunlun, they must at least give the Time Walker an organizational affiliation.

Otherwise, the hearts of Time Walker in China will be scattered.

On the set of a film crew, Kamishiro Kono was taking a short rest in her van.

However, her assistant suddenly noticed that this female celebrity who had "returned" from overseas had been sitting in her seat for quite a while.

"What's wrong?" the assistant asked curiously.

Because of her Kamishiro Kono, the staff have a very good relationship with her. She never acts like a diva, never treats her assistants like slaves, and never fights for top billing. This kind of artist is relatively rare in China.

As she looked at He Xiaoxiao's group chat Kamishiro Kono the chat history of the previous members, she suddenly realized that the Ice Eye in the group was actually Qing Chen!

So, when I asked Qing Chen for information earlier, did the other party see everything?

Kamishiro Kono's cheeks flushed. The last time she had such an embarrassing reaction was when she realized that Qing Chen might also be a Time Walker.

She suddenly felt that ever since she had crossed paths with that boy, she was either on the verge of social death or on the road to social death.

Fortunately, no one else knows yet.

However, Kamishiro Kono's main concern now is not her own death, but whether Qing Chen is still alive.

She wondered, would someone who couldn't be killed even when Prison No. 18 collapsed die so easily in the Outer World?

She was a little skeptical, but she couldn't be sure.

In reality, Kamishiro Kono and Qing Chen only met a few times, and no one would take the so-called marriage agreement seriously.

After all, one of them is a person who faked their death, and the other is Kamishiro Corporation. Their identities have been reversed, and the previous engagement no longer exists.

But for some reason, Kamishiro Kono always wanted to check on the boy's information, to see if he was doing well, and what he was doing lately.

She always maintained a strange curiosity about that boy, and occasionally she would think, "He really put on a convincing act back in Prison No. 18..."

Just then, the assistant director of the crew ran up to the van and said politely, "Ms. Kamishiro Kono, you have a scene to film next. I'll arrange for a makeup artist to touch up your makeup. You'll have to work a little longer to rehearse with the male actor."

Kamishiro Kono glanced at the assistant director and said apologetically, "Could you give me some time? I've run into some issues and I'm feeling a bit conflicted. I need to take some time to process this."

The assistant director paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, okay, no problem."

This actress has excellent acting skills and pays great attention to detail. She never acts like a diva, so the production team is happy to accommodate her requests.

15 days to go.

The G1938 high-speed train from Haicheng Hongqiao Airport to Luocheng has arrived at the station.

This train departs from Haicheng and passes through Zhengcheng, making it one of the main train services between Zhengcheng and Luocheng.

Sun Chuci led Tuanzi and the others off the bus. Everyone was discussing what to eat for dinner. Tuanzi skipped around and said, "I heard that for late-night snacks in Luocheng, you should go to Tianfu on Xiaojie Street. It's cheap and delicious, and it's a place that locals often go to."

"And there's Wengji Steamed Buns, Guoqiang Spicy Soup, Tiexie Mutton Soup, Weijia Chicken Soup..."

Sun Chuci smiled and said, "My cousin Nangong Yuanyu is from Luocheng. He's already waiting for us outside the station. He'll take us to eat there; you can't go wrong with that."

As he was saying this, he suddenly saw a figure in front of him whose back looked strangely familiar.

Tuanzi asked curiously, "What's wrong? Who did you see? Could it be that Senior Han Yun came to Luocheng too? Senior, your eyes are practically glued to her."

Sun Chuci shook his head, puzzled, and said, "It feels strangely familiar..."

Etc.

He had indeed seen that figure from behind. It was at a barbecue restaurant in the District 5 of City No. 10 in the Inner World. When the other person left with dozens of subordinates, it left an absolutely deep impression on Sun Chuci, which is why he was so sensitive to that figure.

"Hurry, hurry up!" Sun Chuci walked forward anxiously. Although the big shot from the Qing family said he was from the Inner World, he felt that he hadn't misjudged him.

Tuanzi and the others dragged their suitcases and jogged behind Sun Chuci, but the figure in front of them was walking too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Sun Chuci stood on the platform, looking lost and dejected. "Never mind, maybe I just saw it wrong."

However, when the seven of them exited the station, he was astonished to see his cousin, Nangong Yuanyu, standing at the exit. And the boy next to his cousin was none other than the person they had once admired and revered in the Inner World.

From afar, the boy exchanged a few casual words with Nangong Yuanyu before getting into the back seat of a brand-new Maybach.

Behind this Maybach, there was another Maybach that looked exactly the same.

The appearance of two top-of-the-line executive cars together looked particularly impressive.

The two cars sped away, and Nangong Yuanyu spotted Sun Chuci. He excitedly shouted, "Cousin, you've finally come to Luocheng!"

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
