The higher-ups of the Mechanical God Cult have been captured again.

This matter quickly became a hot topic of discussion in City No. 10. During the discussion, people couldn't help but wonder, "Why did they say 'again' that he was arrested?"

At this point, everyone noticed a problem: in the past month, the news about the Mechanical God Cult has been either about a branch being abducted, or about cardinals and cardinals being arrested, and now even the Chief Judge of the Third Tribunal has been arrested.

A while later, even the Pope was arrested!

Some even wondered whether the Pope would dare to come to the Central Plains, and whether he himself was worried about being arrested...

Moreover, tonight's battle seemed farcical; the Chief Judge was treated like a toy in the opponent's hands, completely powerless to fight back.

At this moment, Qing Chen and Yang Yang were walking down the street. The Chief Judge had already had his energy core removed and given to Luo Wanyai. As for how Luo Wanyai would use it, he couldn't be bothered to care.

When Luo Wanyai saw the Chief Judge, he was completely stunned.

Just a day earlier, his boss had reminded him that a powerful figure from the Mechanical God Cult was coming, which made Luo Wanyai extremely nervous.

The other party did arrive a day later, but it was the boss who brought them...

So, boss, you reminded me yesterday, were you reminding me to prepare to take him over?

That really goes to your trouble...

"Now, if the Mechanical God Cult sends people to the Central Plains again, they will definitely be very cautious," Yang Yang asked. "After all, they have to consider whether they will be captured again."

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded, "The Cult of the Mechanical God Cult is deeply rooted, and its numbers are dozens of times greater than those of the Parent's Association. What I'm most worried about is that they 'Parent's Association. As long as they hesitate, it will give the Parent's Association room to grow... If they want to take back City No. 18 in two months, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Yang Yang tilted her head and looked at Qing Chen: "Aren't we going back to camp now? You have to be back before dawn, right?"

"Yes, but the process of dealing with the Mechanical God Cult went too smoothly this time. There's still a long time before dawn, so I can do some other things."

"After I drop you off at the camp, I have to go back to City No. 10. The student parade is about to start, and as the organizer, I can't leave," Yang Yang said.

"Okay, I know, you go ahead and do your thing."

Yang Yang said with a smile, "Let's go, hurry up and take care of the next thing. Song Niaoniao is waiting for you to come back."

Qing Chen: "Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with her."

"Really?"

Three o'clock in the morning.

Qing Xing I got to know some gossip about Qing Wen online, and then another round of gossip through Kite Falcon. I'm very happy and satisfied now, so I'm going to sleep.

He didn't care at all what was wrong with the Mechanical God Cult; he only cared about how unlucky Qing Wen.

From the time they were at Qing's Academy, Qing Xing had always enjoyed watching this cocky little brat get into trouble. He always sat up straight in school and was always the first to raise his hand to answer the teacher's questions. In the eyes of his parents, Qing Wen was always "someone else's child".

So.

Although Qing Xing to be Shadow Candidate and wished all the other candidates were dead, his resentment towards Qing Wen was always a little more than that of the others.

Seeing Qing Wen suffer bad luck tonight was so much fun.

Qing Xing I plan to watch the news again tomorrow morning to keep me entertained while eating.

Of course, it would be great if Qing Yi could also have some bad luck. He's precocious but pretends to be well-behaved. I don't know how that favorite of the Shadow in the Intelligence Department One was fooled by this kid and actually publicly supported him.

Qing Xing, he had studied the Intelligence Department One, and he knew how difficult it was for the other intelligence systems that the Seventh Group had been working on recently.

He thought that if he could get the support of such a person, his chances of winning the Shadow Struggle would increase by at least 20%.

Oh right, and Qing Wu too. If only Qing Wu hadn't had to overcome his mental hurdle when he broke through to A-level, that would have been so much better.

I was so Qing Xing that I drifted off to sleep, wrapped in a thick down comforter.

I don't know how long I slept, Qing Xing I was suddenly awakened from my dream.

He suddenly sat up and looked at the bedside, where a cold shadow was standing.

In an instant, the back of the person who Qing Xing was drenched in cold sweat. "Who?!"

The luxury homes in this Prosperous Flowers residential complex are equipped with armored doors, and they only support iris verification.

Normally, only one servant he brought from home can freely come and go; no one else can enter, no matter how big the problem is.

That maid was his nanny when he was a child; she had been with their family for decades and was trustworthy.

"I remember I warned you last time that if you use your abilities on me again, I will teach you a lesson you will never forget," the shadowy figure said calmly, though a hint of anger lurked beneath the calm.

Qing Xing, after a moment of surprise, he realized who it was.

It is Qing Wen.

Qing Xing, she gradually calmed down and asked, "How did you get in?"

Qing Wen sneered, "Your security here is nothing but a bunch of shoddy workmanship in my eyes. You installed what you thought were armored doors, but I can open them with a flick of my wrist."

Who would have thought that beyond the Forbidden Sea, there would be Forbidden Item specifically used to open doors...

Qing Xing, he had a strong mental fortitude and gradually calmed down. "It seems I have an inside man by my side. However, you seem to have misunderstood something; I didn't arrange anything unexpected for you."

Qing Wen sneered, "You dare say that tonight, when I almost came to blows with the Mechanical God Cult, it wasn't your doing?"

Qing Xing: "???"

I was just a bystander, how did I end up getting involved?

In collaboration, Qing Wen pinned the blame for the accident on himself!

Absolutely amazing!

Qing Xing, he said seriously, "I absolutely didn't cause you to encounter the Mechanical God Cult tonight, I can guarantee that. We were classmates for many years, I wouldn't stoop so low as to ruin you."

Qing Wen sneered, "Keep your words to yourself. Don't bother explaining them to me. I don't want people to think I'm bloodthirsty, so I won't kill you now. But when you get to Forbidden Zone 065, you'd better be careful."

The Shadow Struggle in the Qing Clan is for the Shadow, who has the potential to become the head of the clan.

No faction leader really wants to see a Shadow who is extremely irritable and likes to kill, and no one even wants to be friends with such a person. That's why Qing Wen had to explain to Shadow that he didn't intend to kill Qing Zhong.

Candidates who enjoy killing and lack strategy, even if they become shadows, will find it difficult to become the head of the family.

Truly intelligent people know that the head of a family must begin selecting a suitable successor from the very beginning of the Shadow Struggle.

Qing Wen gave Qing Xing one last deep look. "Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

Qing Xing, he heard the door close, and he quickly got dressed and went out to check.

However, they discovered that all the security personnel outside their door had collapsed to the ground, without even a warning.

Qing Xing kicked a security guard and yelled, "Someone's already got to my bedside! Didn't any of you have a chance to warn me? Where's Zhou Sheng? Go get him!"

Zhou Sheng was the protector chosen for him by his father; he was a C-Class expert.

This kind of person wouldn't stay outside Qing Xing Gate 24 hours a day; he has his own residence in this building.

Normally, he needs to receive a warning before he can come to protect Qing Xing.

This time, the security personnel couldn't even notify him.

Of course, once Zhou Sheng finds out what happened, he might be Qing Xing he wasn't called over.

With an intrusion by such a high-level expert, being called over would just mean one more person getting beaten up...

Zhou Sheng asked in a serious and earnest tone, "What exactly happened? Why was there no warning?"

The security personnel said blankly, "We noticed the intrusion beforehand, but when it happened, we felt as if a thousand pounds were weighing us down, and we couldn't move at all."

Zhou Sheng frowned. "There was no warning in the monitoring room either. What were you doing?"

"The surveillance footage has frozen..."

They had set up two monitoring rooms that monitored each other. If you wanted to hack in silently, you would have to attack both monitoring rooms at the same time.

But this time, the other party directly hacked into the surveillance network.

Zhou Sheng muttered, "That's strange. No matter how meticulously the enemy prepared, how did this armored door open so silently?!"

So many strange things happened tonight.

Qing Xing, he calmly considered the situation. If the other party had this kind of intrusion ability and was really determined to use a master to kill him, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop them.

However, the most important thing is Qing Wen's threat; the other party is probably going to take action against me in Forbidden Zone 065.

Qing Xing that the other person had just silently approached her, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

He has to change his strategy.

Qing Xing said to Zhou Sheng, "Call your brother. He's coming to my side ahead of time. Qing Wen has definitely used a B-Class expert this time. The intensity of the Shadow Struggle has escalated. I can't just sit here and wait to die."

Just then, his phone rang. Seeing it Qing Wen Qing Xing, he immediately answered irritably, "Are you fucking done yet? Huh? You really think I'm afraid of you? Let me tell you, I've disliked you since we were kids. You just wait, we'll see each other at Forbidden Zone 065!"

After saying that, Qing Xing to hang up the phone.

A short while later, Qing Wen sent a photo of a corpse, which turned out to be the undercover agent that Qing Xing had arranged to be by Qing Wen's side.

Below the photo was a line of text: This is the price you pay for being rude.

He chuckled Qing Xing, relieved.

This is the third round; it's time to kill some people.

"Hey, why don't you just kill him? Or turn him into a puppet?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

Qing Chen said, "If I kill him, it might be very difficult for me to find the Forbidden Item he possesses. If I turn him into a puppet, I'm afraid the entire Qing family will consider me a public enemy. Qing Xing, his status is extraordinary. If he disappears without a trace, his parents will definitely use all their resources to search for him. I might not be able to withstand that, and I don't want to gamble."

"Furthermore, Qing Xing he was too calm just now. He didn't seem too worried about Qing Wen personally. I suspect he might be hiding his strength. I might not be able to control him either."

At this moment, Qing Chen had changed back to his own appearance from Qing Wen's appearance and was flying in the night sky with Yang Yang.

Yang Yang asked again, "Then what was the point of everything you just did? Was it just to incite conflict between him and Qing Wen?"

"More than that," Qing Chen shook his head, "In fact, I'm not very interested in Qing Wen and Qing Xing fighting each other. What I want is that Forbidden Item."

"What we did tonight will definitely leave him with some psychological trauma. When faced with a death threat, an ordinary person's subconscious instinct is to run away, but a powerful figure like him will probably think about how to eliminate the threat first," Qing Chen said. "So how will he eliminate the threat? Of course, he'll first use his most proficient methods to keep Qing Wen busy and anxious. So from today onwards, Qing Wen will probably have to constantly face unexpected events. And that's the result I want. As long as he uses it frequently enough, I can figure out the pattern."

At this moment, Qing Chen's Kite Falcon had canceled all other missions and was only responsible for keeping a close watch on Qing Xing after Qing Chen left City No. 10.

Yang Yang asked, "What's your purpose in going to the wilderness with the film crew?"

"No, we're leaving City No. 10, this place of trouble, to recuperate," Qing Chen said.

Because he would likely face the most intense battle he had ever fought since his transmigration at Forbidden Zone 065.

Tonight, no one could have imagined that someone who had already left City No. 10 would suddenly return and cause so much trouble.

Moreover, after committing the crime, they even impersonated the victim.

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
