What Obscured Their Eyes

I'll say it again.

Information obtained through one's own efforts is considered true.

It's like how people never remember the person who traveled a long way to see them, but only the person they traveled a long way to see.

So, after Luo Wanyai told Qing Chen that Sanjiangkou had left the conference center, Qing Chen made this little plan.

It's not for any other reason than to see Bright Commune and Dragon Lake Commune suffer misfortune.

The reason for targeting the Bright Commune is Qing Yuan. As Shadow Candidate, he would definitely take action if given the chance to kill him.

The reason for targeting Dragon Lake Commune is even simpler. Even if it wasn't to help Sun Chuci, Qing Chen felt that he had no qualms about dealing with them just because of what Dragon Lake Commune had done.

Just as the joint meeting was being held in Kunlun, the Sanjiangkou organization suddenly received death threats.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Something bad is definitely going to happen at Bright Commune and Dragon Lake Commune.

Taking down Dragon Lake Commune is easy; we can storm their door in broad daylight and they won't stand a chance.

But this time, Qing Chen intends to pull out the Bright Commune and try to resolve a Shadow Candidate in the Outer World.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen smiled and looked at Li Yi: "Eat meat, eat meat! From now on, we're all on the same side. Let's grow bigger and stronger, and create even greater glory!"

Li Yi was still muttering to himself, "The people at the next table are really something else. The meat they just ordered had barely arrived when they rushed off. Isn't that a waste? I think they even paid the bill before they left. What were they after?"

Time Walker nearby asked suspiciously, "I saw them whispering to each other just now, and they glanced at us several times while they were whispering. Could it be related to us?"

Li Yi waved his hand with a smile, "We've never even met them before, what could they possibly have to do with us? Let's eat!"

The thin slices of mutton were cooked as soon as they were thrown into the pot. Li Yi Qing Chen to start eating before he dared to lead his subordinates to start eating.

When Qing Chen poured wine for the other person, Li Yi actually stood up, bowed, and held the cup. Li Yi did the exact same thing when he poured wine for his subordinates.

It seems that Sun Chuci was right when he said that Dragon Lake Commune had a strong bureaucratic atmosphere.

However, Qing Chen had a rather unpleasant experience during the meal.

After drinking some alcohol, Li Yi began to boast about what Dragon Lake Commune had done.

Meanwhile, Luo Wanyai's men had already visited the Time Walker in Zhengcheng, found out some information about Dragon Lake Commune, and sent the information to Qing Chen.

Wang Zhenbei forced a Level 3 member to get his sister drunk, but the Level 3 member did not agree to it at all.

As a result, Wang Zhenbei, Li Yi, and others beat up this Level 3 member. During the beating, the Level 3 member, unable to bear the humiliation, broke through the window of his office on the 7th floor and escaped.

The Level 3 member fell onto the car downstairs but didn't die.

But the fall also caused him to fracture his spine, and he is now paralyzed from the waist down.

There were many witnesses to this incident, but Dragon Lake Commune's explanation to the public was that the other party accidentally fell and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

This wasn't the only incident; Luo Wanyai's 12 subordinates compiled seven irrefutable pieces of evidence of wrongdoing in just half a day.

If you can compile so much information in half a day, what if you had to spend more time investigating?

Qing Chen was pleased that Luo Wanyai's intelligence system was beginning to take shape, and at the same time, his gaze toward Li Yi grew colder and colder.

The eight people from Sanjiangkou hurriedly hailed two taxis and returned to the conference center.

Upon arrival, they went straight to the exhibition hall where the Kunlun members were located, shouting in a loud voice, "Kunlun leaders, please help us! Someone is trying to kill us!"

If something happens, who should you contact? The police, of course.

This is a deeply ingrained mindset among Chinese people today: customers can call 110 for disputes with businesses, or for encountering criminals; it seems like you can call 110 for anything.

Nowadays, Kunlun is like the emergency number 110 for the Time Walker. Sanjiangkou are threatened with death, they naturally turn to Kunlun first.

Moreover, doing so is absolutely the right thing to do.

Inside the conference center, Lu Yuan, who was in charge of the action team, was leading the group.

The man in the road raised an eyebrow. "Who wants to kill you?"

Zhang Yuebo, the president of the Sanjiangkou, said, "It's Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune!"

"Do you have a grudge against me?" Lu Yuan, puzzled.

"No grudge," Zhang Yuebo said indignantly. "We're from Wucheng, and they're from Zhengcheng. We've hardly ever met before. We were eating hot pot on Zijingshan Road when we bumped into the Dragon Lake Commune people. Our guy ran into their boss in the restroom, so we secretly eavesdropped on his phone call. He said they've joined forces with Shendai and Lujima to purge the Time Walker in Zhengcheng, planning to start with the weakest, Sanjiangkou!"

Right now, the exhibition hall in the conference center is packed with people. Representatives from almost every organization are here, and there's also communication between the organizations.

Under normal circumstances.

The main reason people are here is not to compete fiercely, but to make friends.

Let's exchange contact information, invite each other to visit each other's territories, and if we ever need to visit each other's territories in the Inner World, please take care of each other.

This is the normal state of the various Time Walker organizations.

Seeing everyone dressed up as Batman and Spider-Man, you can tell that this group of people came to Zhengzhou just to have fun; no one thinks there is any danger here.

That's because Qing Chen, Huan Yu, Qing Yuan already had a grudge against each other, which is why things got so tense...

At this moment, the Time Walker in the exhibition hall suddenly heard that there was a Time Walker organization that was actually colluding with foreign forces to threaten their lives, and everyone became nervous!

One of the Pikachu present sneered, "It's truly despicable that such a Time Walker organization has emerged in the country. With so many of us here, why don't we join forces and wipe out this so-called Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune?"

Wearing such an adorable Pikachu outfit, yet speaking in such a fierce tone about murder and arson, the scene is strangely shocking.

A slime nearby said, "I heard that Dragon Lake Commune was bullying the weak in Zhengzhou, forcing subordinates to get their sisters drugged and given to that guy named Wang Zhenbei! The subordinate refused and was forced to jump off a building, resulting in high-level paraplegia. He's in room 1237 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University!"

Another slime exclaimed, "How can this kind of organization exist within our borders? Isn't anyone going to do anything about it?!"

Lu Yuan at them, then looked at Zhang Yuebo: "Are you sure they're from Dragon Lake Commune?"

"Yes," Zhang Yuebo said definitively, "I met one of them, named Li Yi. He didn't look like a good guy at all. There was another one in the crowd, and Li Yi was very respectful to him. He was probably his boss."

"Wang Zhenbei?" Lu Yuan asked doubtfully.

Zhang Yuebo shook his head. "I don't know who Wang Zhenbei is, I only know Li Yi."

Lu Yuan, but did not let Zhang Yuebo continue to identify.

He looked at the Time Walker and said, "Please be patient, everyone. Kunlun will definitely handle this matter and will make a public announcement after the investigation."

Unbeknownst to anyone, a young man wearing a white mask was silently observing everyone within the Matrix Organization.

There was no panic, no unusual movement; they seemed to be thinking about something.

He glanced at the group of Time Walker but found nothing unusual.

The next moment, while everyone's attention was on Zhang Yuebo and Lu Yuan, the matrix member quietly retreated out of the exhibition hall.

He didn't notice that Luo Wanyai's peripheral vision had been fixed on this side the whole time.

Qing Chen didn't actually make a phone call while at the hot pot restaurant. Instead, he sent Luo Wanyai a text message: "When Zhang Yuebo goes back and causes trouble, whoever secretly leaves the scene is most likely Qing Yuan."

Because Dragon Lake Commune now part of Qing Yuan, and such a big thing has happened, he must find out the source of the information as soon as possible to see what exactly happened.

If a member of the matrix were watching the chaos caused by Zhang Yuebo, their first reaction would definitely be not to miss this good show and to see what exactly happened, rather than leaving.

Today, Luo Wanyai observed a total of 7 matrix members who had broken away from the team. There were too many targets to make any judgment.

Therefore, Qing Chen wanted to set a trap for Qing Yuan, giving Luo Wanyai a better chance to expose the other party.

This is the significance of Qing Chen having Luo Wanyai guard this place while he himself was out causing trouble.

Luo Wanyai watched the young man leave and immediately followed him.

As he walked, he sent a text message to Qing Chen: "Found the fish. The other party already knows about Dragon Lake Commune. I'm following him and trying to see which room he's in."

Qing Chen simply replied, "Be careful."

In the event of a direct confrontation, retreat immediately and seek help from Kunlun. This was something Qing Chen had already instructed them to do long ago.

Based on his estimation, Qing Chen suspected that Qing Yuan was at least a C-Class, Luo Wanyai would definitely be no match for him if they clashed.

At this moment, in the hot pot restaurant, the charcoal fire under the copper pot was burning brightly, and the water in the pot was bubbling and boiling.

Li Yi's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he was shocked to see it was his second boss Qing Yuan...

Li Yi had drunk eight liang of baijiu and was already a little tipsy. He looked at Qing Yuan beside him and said with a simple smile, "Second Boss, you're right here beside me. Just say what you want to say. In Zhengcheng, I, Li Yi..."

In an instant, Li Yi's mind seemed to be struck by lightning, as if he had just realized something.

He looked at the young man in front of him, who was smiling exceptionally brightly.

However, at that very moment, Li Yi suddenly felt something as light as a feather wrap around his wrist.

He felt as if he had lost control of his body, as if his soul had been imprisoned somewhere and no longer belonged to him.

Li Yi watched helplessly as "himself" answered the phone and then, drunkenly, said, "Hello?"

On the phone, Qing Yuan said coldly, "You still have the mood to drink? Very good."

Li Yi's tone seemed to have cleared up a bit. "Second Boss?"

Qing Yuan calmly said, "There are rumors circulating at the convention center that you and Wang Zhenbei colluded with Shendai and Kashima to launch an attack on the Time Walker here at the convention center? Is that true?"

Li Yi seemed to sober up instantly. "This has nothing to do with me. It was all the Third Boss's idea. I even tried to persuade him."

"So, the person you were having hot pot with is Wang Zhenbei, right? Where is he? Let him answer the phone," Qing Yuan said.

Li Yi stood up, walked to the side, and continued, "The Third Boss went to the restroom to make a phone call and then left. Right now, I'm having dinner with the Time Walker who came from out of town."

Qing Yuan sneered, "Get to the conference center now and explain to Kunlun that Sanjiangkou is making baseless accusations. Don't worry, they have no evidence."

This matter must be resolved. If it isn't, the Bright Commune, which Qing Yuan's father worked so hard to establish, will be ruined by these two idiots.

Other things are acceptable, but for Kunlun and Jiuzhou, the only things they cannot touch are the Age of Gods and Kashima. This is the bottom line.

If any organization is falsely accused of colluding with Kamishiro and Kashima, then it will have no place to stand in the country, and Kunlun will probably hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

Moreover, the organization will be deserted by its own members.

Who would want to join an organization that colludes with Kamishiro and Kashima?

Qing Yuan didn't care whether Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei lived or died, but Bright Commune couldn't be allowed to be harmed.

At this moment, Qing Yuan was already thinking about how to sacrifice Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei to clear his name.

They really didn't collude with Kamishiro or Kashima!

However, the one most worried at this moment was not Qing Yuan, but Li Yi.

He had realized that the "Qing Yuan" beside him was a fake. The other party seemed to have framed Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune, and was now trying to incite internal strife between Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune!

Who is this person?

Li Yi was filled with fear.

He wanted to ask the other person why they did that, but heard the young man laugh and say, "Interesting."

These two words seemed to perfectly answer the question in his heart.

In the Kunlun temporary office at the conference center.

Zheng Yuandong was looking at all the check-in registrations for Time Walker, but Qing Chen's QR code still hadn't appeared.

Lu Yuan pushed open the door and entered. "Boss, you heard what happened downstairs just now, right?"

"Yes, I heard you," Zheng Yuandong replied calmly.

"It looks like Kamishiro and Kashima are about to make another move. Should we raise our alert level?" Lu Yuan asked. "I can transfer more people from other cities."

Zheng Yuandong looked up at him and said, "No need."

"Huh?" Lu Yuan asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried?"

Zheng Yuandong calmly asked, "Everyone knows that Zheng City has the most Kunlun members right now, and even Jiuzhou has sent back a group of spies. If you were Kamishiro and Kashima, would you come here to die at this time? They're not stupid."

"But I confirmed with Zhang Yuebo, and it's true," Lu Yuan muttered.

"Yes, Sanjiangkou didn't lie. They must have heard someone say those things, which is why they rushed back to find us in such a panic," Zheng Yuandong nodded. "But do you remember what I said today?"

"Huh?" Lu Yuan was even more confused.

Zheng Yuandong looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Wherever someone stirs up trouble, that's where Qing Chen is. This whole thing is probably his doing, so don't worry. Let's see what he's up to. I originally planned to use the Dragon Lake Commune as the first organization after the court was established to make an example of them and establish the court's authority. But it seems they won't last until the court is established."

Lu Yuan didn't go to Europe, but Zheng Yuandong was involved throughout the entire trip.

Therefore, what happened in Europe back then is remarkably similar to what is happening now...

To summarize, a troublemaker appeared, and then for some reason, the Time Walker suddenly found themselves locked in a fierce battle.

Most people wouldn't have thought of Qing Chen, but Zheng Yuandong is different; he always trusts his intuition.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have any other evidence? You can't just pin it on Qing Chen without any proof."

"Evidence?" Zheng Yuandong pondered. "The evidence is that he sneaked into Zhengcheng and hid from Ni Ergou, so he must be up to something. But nothing strange has happened in Zhengcheng so far, and this is the only little thing that's caused so far, so he must be the one pulling the strings."

If many strange things happen, then one of them might be Qing Chen's doing.

If only one strange thing happens, it must be Qing Chen's doing.

Lu Yuan: "... That seems to make a lot of sense."

He was a little confused; what kind of image did Qing Chen have in the boss's mind...?

Zheng Yuandong said, "Also, weren't those two slimes who were just making Nan Gengchen Liu Dezhu? How could Qing Chen not be involved if they suddenly showed up and started this?"

Lu Yuan recalled the two slimes that had just stirred up the fire...

"What is Luo Wanyai doing now?" Zheng Yuandong asked.

Lu Yuan said, "You gave me instructions on this, so I paid special attention. This guy suddenly left during the chaos, seemingly following a Matrix member who left midway."

Zheng Yuandong frowned.

He closed his eyes and reviewed all the clues he had gathered. When he opened them again, he said, "The Matrix members shouldn't have left after hearing about the Dragon Lake Commune; they should have stayed to watch the show. This isn't a Matrix member; he left to tip someone off. I think Qing Chen might be looking for someone connected to the Dragon Lake Commune and the Bright Commune."

Suddenly, the first floor of the exhibition hall became lively.

Lu Yuan looked down from upstairs and said to Zheng Yuandong in astonishment, "Boss, Li Yi has actually come."

Zheng Yuandong raised an eyebrow and went over to take a look. He was surprised to see a boy wearing a black mask standing not far from Li Yi, looking up at him with a smile.

Qing Chen had changed back to his original appearance and brought Li Yi to the conference center.

Zheng Yuandong sighed to Lu Yuan, "This kid isn't done causing trouble outside... Raise the alert level, and keep order in case things get out of hand."

First floor of the exhibition hall.

Zhang Yuebo from Sanjiangkou pointed at Li Yi: "It's him, I'm sure I'm not mistaken. What we heard was exactly what his boss said in the toilet stall."

Chen Sui from the Matrix stepped forward and coldly asked Li Yi, "Is what he said true? That your Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune colluded with Shendai and Kashima?"

At this time, the Red Leaf Organization also spoke out publicly for the first time.

A girl in a navy blue fitted suit calmly said to Li Yi, "Do you know that helping Kamishiro and Kashima is no different from being a traitor?"

Jiu Ran, the owner of Hongye, did not come. This person is An Xin, one of the senior executives of Hongye.

The most famous thing related to Hongye is that she recently brought Zhang Jingwen home.

When the Time Walker attacked the headquarters of the God Era, Zhang Jingwen blew up a shrine there. Later, with the help of overseas intelligence agents, he first went to Goryeo and then secretly returned from Changbai Mountain.

They were constantly being chased along the way, but in the end, it was Momiji who came to their rescue. Among them, many of the Jiuzhou members were also impersonating Momiji members.

When the Kamishiro group protested in the international Time Walker community, Jiuzhou's response was simple: Momiji is a grassroots, self-organized group and does not represent official actions.

I was almost driven mad by the people of the Age of Gods at the time.

Li Yi, slightly drunk, looked at Chen Sui and An Xin: "Colluding with Shendai and Kashima? Don't put it so harshly. Our Bright Commune and Dragon Lake Commune have simply decided to cooperate with them. And I don't think there's anything wrong with the bosses' decision."

The exhibition hall erupted in uproar. Wasn't Li Yi essentially admitting to colluding with Kamishiro and Kashima?

So, is it true that the news we heard at Sanjiangkou that Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune were going to join forces with outsiders to wipe them out in one fell swoop?

A Pikachu standing nearby looked at Li Yi and sneered, "From today onwards, we will be irreconcilably opposed to the Dragon Lake Commune and the Bright Commune. If we have the chance to hunt you down in the Inner World, I will not let it pass."

A slime yelled, "Kill him!"

Another slime. "Kill Wang Zhenbei too!"

A small green dinosaur shook its head and shouted, "Down with the traitors!"

Among the crowd, a member of the matrix clenched his fists, his expression behind the mask was ashen, and his eyes seemed to be slicing through Li Yi like knives.

He suddenly realized that Li Yi might have been bribed to specifically target Bright Commune and Dragon Lake Commune.

But who would do such a thing?

Could there be another Time Walker among the other Shadow Candidate?

It's no wonder Qing Yuan thought that way, since they had no enemies other than the Shadow Candidate.

Therefore, when encountering strange things, the first thing that comes to mind is this.

At this moment, Chen Sui of the Matrix remained calm. He walked to the opposite side of Li Yi and said calmly, "Before you make a big mistake, I hope you can repent in time."

Li Yi looked at Chen Sui in front of him; everyone was waiting to hear what he had to say.

Li Yi: "Heh, te!"

Chen Sui was wearing a mask.

But this spit somehow managed to pass precisely through the eye area of the mask, obscuring Chen Sui's eyes.

Chen Sui: "..."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Zheng Yuandong: "..."

How similar this scene is! The reason why the Future Organization swore to destroy the God Generation Organization was also because of this kind of spit that was not very harmful but extremely insulting.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Zheng Yuandong was observing from a high-rise building when Heikawaito spat.

For a moment, Zheng Yuandong felt as if he had experienced a flashback, returning to the bitterly cold Amsterdam...

At this moment, he finally realized that Qing Chen must possess a Forbidden Item that could control others.

"Puppet Master," Zheng Yuandong muttered to himself.
