Mixed Battle

In the Inner World.

Some Forbidden Item remain mysterious, while others have been compiled into books.

A thousand years ago, during the last human civilization era, Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency made its fortune using this very thing.

At that time Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency was just a small organization. There was an old man named "Hu Shuo" who founded several orphanages and selected some people from them to teach them the path of cultivation.

This old man named Hu Shuo was originally the intelligence chief of a conglomerate. After the conglomerate went out of business, he took the orphans and went back to his old profession.

In the records.

Hu Shuo himself has close relationships with various powerful figures around the world. He is a close friend of the saviors Ren Xiaosu and Qing Zhen despite their age difference. The demigod Li Shentan, who once single-handedly held back a million -Mecha Legion, is his grandson.

During the last catastrophe when humanity faced the AI crisis, Hu Shuo single-handedly charged into a million-strong army, his twelve flying swords shining like planets beyond the stars.

He ultimately survived amidst a vast army.

Therefore, many people actually know that the limit of the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency's path of inheritance should be twelve flying swords. However, so far, practitioners on this path can only begin to nurture their own heart sword at the A level. Many people can only nurture five or six swords in their entire lives, and it is very difficult for anyone to reach the level that Hu Shuo.

At that time, the Hu Clan's main source of income, besides selling intelligence, was compiling information on extraordinary individuals into booklets and selling them to the public for one yuan each, treating them as gossip and scandals...

They have never abandoned this tradition. Even now, the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency still has its own official app, where you can see the latest information on superhumans for just ten yuan a month.

It's like a magazine...

Within the app, you can also spend extra money to purchase a list of Forbidden Item.

The Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency numbered all the Forbidden Item that had ever appeared, and ACE-001 to ACE-0338 were all arranged by them.

In this roster, Zheng Yuandong clearly remembered that the function of the Forbidden Item ACE-019 Puppet Master was to control others.

Moreover, this thing... was brought into containment by a certain knight in Forbidden Zone No. 002, just to prevent this evil thing from seeing the light of day again.

Zheng Yuandong silently watched downstairs. The Puppet Master had indeed reappeared, and Qing Chen's identity as a knight was finally confirmed.

Before this, his judgment of Qing Chen's identity was still just speculation.

Although he was certain of his intuition, he actually never had any evidence.

Now we have it.

Qing Chen must have known he could guess it, but the other party still revealed this information right under his nose.

Is it because the other party has already trusted Kunlun?

Zheng Yuandong pondered silently.

Lu Yuan at his boss beside him. "Should we go down and do something about it?"

Zheng Yuandong smiled and said, "It's alright, let's take another look."

Lu Yuan muttered, "Was this also something Qing Chen did? I have a feeling Li Yi is drinking fake alcohol."

Zheng Yuandong did not answer this time.

However, he was also very curious about what Qing Chen was up to.

Although Qing Chen's identity as a knight was confirmed, Zheng Yuandong still felt that something was missing.

There seems to be a new clue in the dark.

Only in this way can we fill in all the clues and explain Qing Chen's current behavior.

First floor of the exhibition hall.

Qing Yuan was mingling in the Matrix's ranks, coldly watching Li Yi in the crowd.

The moment Li Yi spat at Chen Sui, everyone in Qing Yuan was stunned.

He never imagined that Li Yi, who usually seemed quite normal, would do something like this, and even spit so accurately...

For Qing Yuan, the Bright Commune and his biological father, who had traveled through time with him, were his greatest assets in the Shadow Struggle.

Now, what Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei are doing has seriously infringed upon his interests.

If the Bright Commune becomes a pariah, and its members withdraw due to these fabricated charges, how can Qing Yuan participate in the Shadow Struggle? On what grounds can he deal with those Shadow Candidate?

Qing Yuan's gaze swept across the crowd. He began to suspect that another Shadow Candidate was working against him, but he had no evidence.

Moreover, the most urgent task at present is to mitigate the impact of this incident.

It seems that Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei are destined to become victims of this incident; we cannot allow them to become a stain on Bright Commune.

Qing Yuan felt bitter. After arriving in City No. 10 in the Inner World, he originally intended to unite with the local Time Walker in Zhengcheng to help him. However, he did not expect that Dragon Lake Commune was not a help at all, but a hindrance.

"Should we kill Li Yi now to prevent him from dragging the Bright Commune down with him?" Qing Yuan pondered.

"No, if I kill him in front of everyone, I won't be able to escape the consequences. Fortunately, Li Yi hasn't implicated the Bright Commune yet," Qing Yuan thought.

However, at that moment, Li Yi suddenly said, "What can you do to me? My backer is the Bright Commune. Do you know who the second boss of the Bright Commune is? It's Qing Yuan, one of the Shadow Candidate. If you dare to lay a hand on me, just wait until I settle accounts with you one by one in the Inner World!"

After saying that, Li Yi looked down at everyone with an air of arrogance.

Qing Yuan was immediately shocked, inwardly screaming, "Your mother!"

He never expected Li Yi to be such a fool, betraying him completely in one fell swoop.

By selling it outright, wouldn't all the hatred be transferred to the Bright Commune?

Moreover, his identity as Time Walker has been exposed to everyone. If this gets back to the Qing family, even the Shadow Clan will probably try to kill him.

Qing Yuan was unaware that there was actually another Time Walker among the Shadow Candidate, and that the Shadow was also aware of this.

Whether he knows or not is not important. There is another reason why Shadow doesn't care about Qing Chen's identity Time Walker, but if Qing Yuan is exposed, he may really die.

Qing Yuan confusion.

He didn't know how things had turned out this way.

The exhibition hall fell silent for a moment.

Most people were also learning for the first time that there was actually a Time Walker among the Shadow Candidate!

That's the most talked-about topic in the Inner World right now. Everyone knows that if the Shadow Candidate wins, he could become the next head of the conglomerate. That's an immense amount of power! He'd practically be one of the emperors of the Inner World!

Everyone noticed that Li Yi's expression had changed.

Especially Zheng Yuandong.

At that moment, he suddenly filled in the last clue about Qing Chen!

His surname is Qing.

Shadow Candidate.

No wonder Qing Chen targeted Qing Yuan; no wonder Qing Chen disappeared after arriving in Zheng City, causing this farce.

He had previously thought that Qing Chen was cooperating with Luo Wanyai in finding someone, but now Zheng Yuandong finally understood that Qing Chen was looking for the Shadow Candidate of this Bright Commune!

Those targeting Shadow Candidate are most likely also Shadow Candidate.

At the beginning of the time travel incident, He Xiaoxiao announced the Shadow Struggle expansion pack. At that time, everyone knew that there were nine Shadow Candidate, but the ninth one was particularly mysterious, and no one even knew his name.

Zheng Yuandong is now almost certain that Qing Chen is the ninth Shadow Candidate, otherwise why would this young man target Qing Yuan like this?

But Zheng Yuandong still found it hard to understand why Qing Chen could hold so many important identities.

Li's future imperial tutor, the next leader of the Knights, Shadow Candidate.

Is this the true Chosen One?!

Moreover, these three identities belong to completely different factions, so how are they connected?

At this moment.

Li Yi remained arrogant, and for a moment no one dared to make a move against him. The people at Sanjiangkou silently retreated.

However, before Li Yi could even maintain his arrogance for a minute, a cute Pikachu beside him said, "So what if you're Shadow Candidate? Do you really think being a Shadow Candidate guarantees victory? With so much Time Walker to ruin this so-called candidate's plans. We may not have the ability to accomplish great things, but we can certainly sabotage others' plans. Everyone here, remember this: if any clues related to that Qing Yuan are discovered in the Inner World, expose them all!"

One of the slimes said, "Yes! We can also support other Shadow Candidate and kill you!"

A small green dinosaur. "Down with the traitors!"

Qing Yuan's face was extremely ugly; he hadn't expected things to develop this way.

If all the Time Walker are targeting you, then the Shadow Struggle are truly out of the question.

Qing Yuan thought to himself, "Why am I so unlucky to have teammates like Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei?!"

Of course, Chen Sui was the most unlucky one.

His right eye was covered in saliva, but he couldn't take off his mask to wipe it off because that would reveal his appearance. So he could only keep his right eye closed for now and deal with what was happening.

Chen Sui closed one eye and looked at Li Yi with the other. "You..."

Li Yi: "Heh, te!"

The saliva pierced precisely through the white mask's eye socket, covering Chen Sui's other eye as well.

Zheng Yuandong: "..."

Huan Yu: "..."

Qing Yuan: "..."

Chen Sui: "... Get him!"

The owner of this matrix finally abandoned his elegance and demeanor.

As they spoke, all the members of the matrix rushed forward, while Li Yi suddenly turned around and ran wildly towards the outside of the conference center.

Li Yi ran ahead, followed by hundreds of people, creating a magnificent and impressive procession.

Li Yi is D-Class, and there are C-Class experts in the matrix who are much faster than him. But just as they were about to catch up with Li Yi, they found a young man wearing a black mask ahead of them slowing down.

Two bloated slimes blocked the way for many people.

As a result, when everyone rushed out of the conference center's turnstile, they were a step behind Li Yi.

Moreover, many of them were Time Walker wearing props, so they couldn't run fast at all...

Qing Chen didn't want the Time Walker behind him to catch up with Li Yi so quickly; he wanted to use Li Yi to take these Time Walker to another place.

Just then, a slime ran up to Qing Chen and said, "Brother Chen, it's me, Xiaonan."

Qing Chen glanced at the other person, then pretended not to know them.

Nan Gengchen continued, "Brother Chen, what do you think of my slime costume?"

Qing Chen: "You dressed up very well, but don't do it again next time."

Nan Gengchen: "..."

It was already 10 p. m.

The reporters and media outside the conference center, seeing that they had run out of news material, decided to pack up and go home.

Suddenly, a reporter shouted, "Look! Someone's rushing out of the conference center!"

The quick-thinking reporters hurriedly pulled out their cameras and video cameras, only to see a young man running wildly, followed by Pikachu, slime, a little dinosaur, and Batman, all yelling and rushing out.

During the incident, some people shouted, "Stop! Kill him! Get him! Down with the traitor!"

The scene became as intense as boiling water, and the reporters and media were also in a frenzy!

This is big news! They've already come up with a headline.

"The Time Walker, staying up all night, have launched a collective manhunt!"

"A shocking incident has occurred at the conference center: a traitor has been discovered!"

"Pikachu and Slime team up!"

"DC's Batman and Marvel's Spider-Man rarely appear together!"

The journalists felt a tremor deep within their hearts, an excitement they could not contain.

A reporter yelled, "Driver, bring the car over here and catch up with them!"

Finally, the scene turned into something even more astonishing.

Li Yi was running fifty meters ahead of the crowd, followed by a group of cartoon characters, and then reporters sitting in their cars with cameras and other equipment sticking out of the windows.

Pedestrians on the streets of Zhengzhou were completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

They watched Pikachu run past them and wondered, "What's going on? Are we filming a movie?!"

At this moment, Qing Yuan mingled in the crowd, his eyes fixed on Li Yi in front of him.

He could no longer kill Li Yi, because he needed to keep Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei alive so that they could explain to Kunlun and the Time Walker what had happened.

If Li Yi and Wang Zhenbei die in the chaos, then the mess that has been dumped on Bright Commune will be impossible to cleanse.

Thinking of this, Qing Yuan suddenly sped up and ran to the front of the group.

The matrix thought their companions were doing a great job, but unexpectedly, after Qing Yuan ran ahead, he seemed to run out of energy and began to slow down without realizing it, thus slowing down the pursuit from behind.

Wait a minute, Qing Yuan, looking at Li Yi's escape route.

Isn't this heading to the headquarters of Bright Commune in Zhengcheng?! That's a whole floor of office space that Bright Commune rented after merging with Dragon Lake Commune!

Moreover, it's only two blocks away!

With no other option, Qing Yuan took out his phone while running and sent a text message to his father Qing Yu, fearing that his father might be implicated at headquarters.

At this moment, Qing Yuan was unaware that Luo Wanyai, not far behind him, was staring intently at him, so nervous that he didn't even dare to blink.

Qing Chen turned around and looked at Luo Wanyai. The two of them quickly exchanged a glance in the crowd.

Following the direction indicated by Luo Wanyai, Qing Chen turned his head and saw Qing Yuan at the very front of the group.

All of this happened so quickly that no one else noticed, and some people in the Time Walker were even harboring their own thoughts.

Just as Qing Yuan was looking down at his text message, a boy wearing a black mask bumped into Qing Yuan's arm as if by accident.

The phone fell to the ground with a clatter.

Qing Yuan was about to turn around to pick it up, he saw a slime firmly stepping on the phone...

I stomped the phone to pieces.

Qing Yuan glared angrily, wanting to see who had bumped into him, but in the chaos of the crowd, he couldn't tell who was who at all.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yi had already run to the front of Zhongzhou Building. He did not take the elevator, but instead ran up to the 13th floor through the emergency exit.

The stairwell echoed with rapid footsteps, a testament to the Time Walker's stamina. After running two kilometers, he could still climb 13 more floors; an ordinary person would probably have collapsed and died long ago.

On the 13th floor, the headquarters of Bright Commune was still brightly lit.

However, Qing Yuan's father Qing Yu, was not here; only a few members of the Bright Commune and Wang Zhenbei were present.

Seeing Li Yi storm into headquarters, Wang Zhenbei roared in fury, "Li Yi, what's wrong with you? The big boss just called me and said I was with you tonight?! When did I see you tonight? And what's with the alliance with Kamishiro and Kashima? Explain yourself... hiccup"

Before he finished speaking, hundreds of Time Walker rushed in following Li Yi's footsteps, shouting, "Where can you run now?"

Wang Zhenbei was so startled that he burped on the spot!

Wang Zhenbei addressed the Time Walker, saying, "Listen to me, everyone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yi suddenly turned to the Time Walker and sneered, "You've chased me for three blocks, and now my boss, Wang Zhenbei, is right behind me. He's one of the top experts. Let's see who dares to touch me!!"

The little green dinosaur didn't care about any of that. "Everyone, attack them together!"

As he spoke, he charged forward, taking the lead.

As Wang Zhenbei watched the swarm of Time Walker rushing towards him, despair washed over him. "Nyima..."

He's no expert at all; he just happened to be in place of a D-Class Inner World Awakened.

Wang Zhenbei has always lied to the outside world, claiming that he is C-Class, but he has never actually taken action. He has achieved his current status by deceiving and swindling people.

Therefore, he panicked when he saw so many Time Walker.

"Everyone, let me explain..."

Chen Sui from the Matrix rushed up to him. "Explain your mother!"

A hard fist slammed into his eye socket.

The next moment, Wang Zhenbei was engulfed by the Time Walker...

At this moment, Lu Yuan also arrived. Looking at this one-sided group brawl, he thought to himself that since he transmigrated, this must be the biggest fight among the ordinary Time Walker in the Outer World...

If this was really Qing Chen's doing, then he's really causing a huge commotion!

By the way, where's Qing Chen?!

Li Yi stood there receiving the beating when a boy wearing a black mask squeezed into his side and punched him in the spleen.

In an instant, Li Yi's eyes were filled with red blood vessels.

However, this is an internal injury, and nothing can be seen from the outside.

Just over ten seconds later.

An astonishing scene unfolded: Li Yi turned into a cloud of black ash and vanished into the crowd.

That's what it looks like after being sacrificed Puppet Master.

Qing Chen, the instigator, turned around and withdrew from the battle.

He couldn't linger here, because Qing Yuan had already left quietly.

From beginning to end, Qing Chen never forgot his original intention: to use Dragon Lake Commune to lure Qing Yuan out.

As for Dragon Lake Commune, it was just something that was taken down along the way.
