Return Countdown

Kamiyo Yunhe could not accept this defeat.

He even used himself as bait and broke a leg in exchange for this opportunity to make the arrest, but the other party still got away.

Even the radar of the airship couldn't pinpoint where the other party had gone.

Due to excessive blood loss, his face gradually turned pale, while the area around his eyes turned red with anger, making him look exceptionally ferocious.

Kamiyo Yunhe gradually calmed down. "Set up defenses. If I'm not dead, he will definitely come back."

At that moment, Qing Chen suddenly said in mid-air, "Based on my understanding of Force Field Awakened, when you were 300 meters away from me, if I didn't resist, you could have easily controlled the force field around me from a distance. In other words, you could have stopped my descent much earlier, instead of making things so dangerous, and ending up catching me in mid-air..."

Yang Yang said earnestly, "But that's how it's portrayed in movies, and it looks better that way!"

Qing Chen: "... Don't add so much drama at a time like this! I'm about to crash to the ground!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. I caught it!" Yang Yang said confidently.

The two flew low over the city, fortunately the Kamishiro Corporation had enforced a curfew for them, leaving only a few high-caste pedestrians on the streets...

Otherwise, the mere sight of it flying in the air would attract countless onlookers taking photos.

At that time, the scene of Qing Chen being held will be posted online.

Yang Yang muttered to herself, "Huh, where is everyone? Where did everyone go?"

Qing Chen: "... Let's find a place to land quickly. We need to detour through the sewers to get to the Lower Three Districts. Flying in the sky will attract too much attention."

As she spoke, Yang Yang reluctantly fell down and followed him into the sewer.

"Have you finished dealing with things in City No. 10?" Qing Chen asked.

"I'm done with work," Yang Yang, following behind him. "The student march went relatively smoothly. The House of Representatives has publicly pledged to increase investment in education so that more children can go to school with An Xin. They will also consider including junior high school in the compulsory education system in the future. However, I also told Spade that the Outer World proves that true victory cannot be achieved without bloodshed and sacrifice. Trying to negotiate peacefully with the conglomerates is a dead end."

Qing Chen pondered for a moment, "So you want them to see how I do it? But if you say it like that, they'll be very resentful, after all, this is something they've worked hard on for a long time, and it's all being negated in an instant."

Yang Yang nodded. "Don't worry, Xu Linsen is quite open-minded. If he finds a better path, he'll join. Once Spades merges into Daylight, I won't have to worry about which organization I belong to anymore."

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. So Yang Yang had asked Xu Linsen to come over for this reason...

Others are choosing between two organizations, either joining this one or that one, a choice between two options.

Yang Yang's approach was different; she directly sought a way to merge Spades into Daylight...

The two returned to the ground only after they reached District 9.

By this time, the fighting in District 9 had ended, and some civilians were carrying the gang members, whose hands and feet were bound, toward the labor camp.

These civilians got clever; they somehow found some long steel pipes and strung the gang members together, hanging them upside down, making it look like they were carrying a pig.

After the civilians in the building ahead finished carrying the steel pipes, they would voluntarily pass them on to the civilians in the next building.

On this turbulent night, those outside District 9 were unaware that a transformation had just taken place there.

After taking only a couple of steps, Qing Chen suddenly stopped. Not far ahead, Jiang Mubei was looking at him with ill intent.

"Haha, I've taken the wrong road," Qing Chen turned to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Xu Linsen blocking his way.

Jiang Mubei said coldly, "Hidden among us for so long without revealing your identity, are you deliberately trying to make a fool of yourself?"

Qing Chen said, "Ahem, when you asked me where I was at the Fatty Intestine Noodle Shop, I raised my hand twice!"

Jiang Mubei exclaimed with deep sorrow, "Have some decency!"

Qing Chen was silent for two seconds. "How can you talk to the Joker like that..."

Jiang Mubei: "???"

Xu Linsen: "???"

Xu Linsen suddenly remembered that he had actually told this guy to be the Joker in front of him...

He was immediately baffled. How could the danger be so great if someone like this possessed the ability to disguise?

Seeing the faint Dharma image appearing behind Xu Linsen, Qing Chen quickly said, "Just kidding, just kidding... Bai Zhou and Hei Tong have the same goal. We're all going the same way, so we should be comrades-in-arms."

"How can you betray your comrades like this?" Jiang Mubei said indignantly, "We trusted you so much, and you actually tricked us into going to kill Kamishiro Yunluo."

"I'm doing this for the residents of District 9, and also, I want to kill Kamiyo Yunhe," Qing Chen explained earnestly.

Speaking of this, Xu Linsen also remembered that on their way back they were guessing how many clubs the Art Troupe could take advantage of the opportunity to absorb tonight. Jiang Mubei guessed a dozen or so, and he guessed more than twenty.

As it turned out, Luo Wanyai had made thorough preparations and was just waiting for tonight. In that one night, he single-handedly wiped out a total of 71 gangs in the District 9.

After tonight, only Parent's Association will remain in District 9.

However, at this moment, Qing Chen suddenly received a message from an unknown number: Kamishiro Kongxu had rushed back to City 22 overnight at the request of the Ten Eunuchs and was expected to arrive in six hours.

Qing Chen looked up. This message must have been sent by Kamishiro Yunluo. After all, if it were Shadow or one of his Kite Falcon, there would be no need for such secrecy.

To be honest, this Kamishiro Yunluo is really something else. Not only did he help her boost her sales, but he also tricked someone into killing him and then helped tip her off without any complaints.

However, the return of Kamishiro Kongxu to City 22 means that Qing Chen's leisurely and carefree days are coming to an end.

Starting today, he will have to find another opportunity to get close to Kamiyo Yunhe while being hunted down by the Kamishiro Corporation.

He could no longer hide in District 9, because if he were seen by the Cloud Mirror, it would bring trouble to the Parent's Association.

Qing Chen called Luo Wanyai: "I have to go."

Luo Wanyai: "Huh?"

Qing Chen smiled and said, "Six hours from now, the Kamishiro Corporation will have a way to find my whereabouts, so I can't stay here and implicate you."

"Will it be dangerous? There are still six hours left, don't rush off," Yang Yang asked.

"Yes, but it's also part of my plan. Someone told me it would take six hours, and I can't gamble that the danger will arrive on time, so I have to leave now," Qing Chen said, looking at Luo Wanyai. "Next, I'll keep everyone's attention in the city to buy you some time. In City 22, only the Dragon Mark Society is difficult to deal with, but with the Spade members around, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Luo Wanyai nodded. "I have already found a replacement for Chen Yidong of the Dragon Mark Society. His name is Gao Yang, and he is currently integrating into our group."

Jiang Mubei chimed in, "Hey, don't assign tasks to other organizations like that! You guys are being way too informal!"

Yang Yang tilted her head and asked, "Is it really part of the plan? Actually, if I fly you away from City 22 now, it won't take more than six hours. They won't be able to find you at all."

Qing Chen shook his head. "The Dragon Mark Society has a complex and intricate network of connections. Luo Wanyai needs some time. Apart from me, none of you can delay for more than ten days and still escape unscathed. Yang Yang, you stay and help Lao Luo. In ten days, wait for me at the place I told you about, and we'll meet there."

Yang Yang nodded.

Jiang Mubei: "Hey, these are people from our Spade team! How can you command them so naturally!"

Yang Yang said with a smile, "We both have a child, named Jingūji Maki."

Qing Chen looked innocently at the girl who seemed to be making suggestive remarks anytime, anywhere. "..."

Jiang Mubei: "You two are surnamed Qing and Chen, so why would you name your child Jingūji Maki? Who are you trying to fool?!"

In fact, Qing Chen had long anticipated that Kamishiro Kongxu would be recalled.

After all, such a big matter is beyond the control of Kamishiro Yunxiu and Kamishiro Yunluo. Unless Kamishiro Kongxu defectes, she must come back to assist in the capture.

But it doesn't matter, this is part of Qing Chen's plan.

At this moment, there are only ten days and eighteen hours left in the countdown to his return. Qing Chen has experienced escape and assassination, and his feud with Kamiyo Yunhe has come to an end.

He wants to end all of this before he returns.

And he also knew how to end it all.

Qing Chen returned to the city, awaiting another round of arrests from the Kamishiro Corporation.

Xu Linsen and others were standing in the District 9.

The Black Spade A asked in bewilderment, "I originally came to settle accounts with him, how did he manage to fool me?"

From the moment Qing Chen changed the subject to the moment he left, their attention was completely drawn to him.

"So what do we do now?" Jiang Mubei asked.

"Isn't there still the Dragon Mark Society left?" Yang Yang said. "To celebrate my arrival in City 22, let's go and take it down now! We've got nothing better to do anyway!"

Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei watched, thinking that this was completely a case of devoting himself to Bai Zhou. Even if it was about to fight the Dragon Mark Society, there was no need to be in such a hurry!

Luo Wanyai said, "Yang Yang, there are still some things that need to be done at the Dragon Mark Society..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Yang hummed in agreement, as if she understood everything, and led Xiao Mengqian away. "You're Zhang Mengqian, right? Your boss mentioned you to me."

Zhang Mengqian was stunned for a long while. "You are...?"

Yang Yang said kindly, "Call her boss lady."

"Huh?" Zhang Mengqian was stunned.

Yang Yang continued in a friendly manner, "Where do you and your boss live? Take me to see them. Also, tell me what he's been doing these past few days, be sure to be detailed."

As she spoke, she led Zhang Mengqian further and further away.

Xu Linsen, Jiang Mubei, and the others were left bewildered. Why was this girl's thinking so unconventional? Moreover, their alliance with Bai Zhou seemed inexplicably inevitable.

Outside City 22, an airship was flying rapidly, and Kamishiro Kongxu was sitting inside.

The original plan was for her to be transported by an off-road vehicle, arriving in six hours.

As a result, one of the Ten Eunuchs suddenly changed his itinerary, switching from an off-road vehicle to the Federation Group Army airship, shortening the journey to just one hour.

Kamishiro Kongxu returned ahead of schedule.

The black airship landed in the airport of City 22, and the blue turbojet flames gradually died down.

Outside the airship, a black vehicle sped up and dropped off a body.

That was left by Qing Chen at the bar before.

Kamishiro Kongxu frowned. "So soon?"

"Excuse me, Commander Sora," an officer said, "This is an order from Kamishiro Seisho."

"Understood," Kamishiro Kongxu nodded. Boss Bai Zhou killed Kamishiro Seisho's son, Kamishiro Unichi, in the Outer World, so he was eager for revenge and was determined to find the assassin in City 22.

All signs indicate that this assassin is Boss Bai Zhou; otherwise, there would be no other sniper god in the world with such a high level of sniping skills.

Kamishiro Kongxu summoned the Cloud Mirror and silently cut open the corpse's chest as a sacrifice.

Surprisingly, in the Cloud Mirror, "Qing Zhade" was lying prone on a rooftop, aiming a sniper rifle at an unknown target, and pulled the trigger.

Everyone present around Kamishiro Kongxu was stunned.

They actually witnessed the sniping incident firsthand!?

A military officer in the snow-covered airport made a phone call and roared, "Quickly! The target is on the roof of the Times Building! Find out who he's assassinating immediately!"

Boss Bai's sniping never misses; pulling the trigger means certain death, as if it were an ironclad rule.

However, the area that the Cloud Mirror could see was too small; they didn't even know who had been killed!
