The Last Thing

"Boss... madam, which one of these people is the boss?" Zhang Mengqian asked in a low voice.

He wasn't sure if the woman in front of him was really the boss's wife, since it was only Yang Yang who had unilaterally acknowledged it, so he hesitated a little when he called her "boss's wife."

Yang Yang glanced at him. "You'd better call me by my full name, otherwise people will think your boss is effeminate."

As she spoke, Yang Yang looked at the shop assistant and said, "Hey, get those two pieces of clothing for him to try on, and find out his size."

In the shopping mall in the District 5, Yang Yang was taking a little boy shopping. Qing Chen had asked her to help buy some clothes and a new cell phone for the boy.

Just like everything a normal little boy would receive from his parents.

Zhang Mengqian's old phone was long ago broken beyond recognition, but she didn't know why it could still light up.

At this moment, the little boy had a new phone and was curiously searching for news about events in City 22. He knew it was related to his boss...

There are countless media outlets in the federal government. Apart from Hope Media, almost all of them are unscrupulous media outlets that use gimmicks to attract traffic. Among them, the New Federation Daily is a representative of unscrupulous media outlets that never care whether the content they report is true or not.

Thus, another dark profession emerged in this federation: independent courier journalists.

These independent journalists are not affiliated with any media outlet. They roam the city, searching for crime scenes and grabbing firsthand information. Whoever can capture the clearest, most detailed, and most complete footage can sell their news for an extremely high price.

The most notorious independent courier reporter in the United States was Duan Daowei. At the scene of a murder, knowing that the injured person urgently needed medical attention, he did not call the police but instead filmed the entire murder process.

Later, he was no longer satisfied with just filming, and began to fabricate murder cases to film for himself.

At this moment, the media across the Federation were all rushing to report on what was happening in City 22. The first was the assassination of Kamiyo Yunhe, and the second was the series of assassinations of the Kamishiro Corporation's Time Walker.

The media listed many suspects, without any evidence whatsoever, and simply put all the suspected individuals online.

Qing Chen's photo was also mixed in with the photos of this group of suspects.

Zhang Mengqian had never seen Qing Chen's true face, but he knew that 'Chen Sui' was not the boss's original appearance, so he was somewhat curious.

Yang Yang glanced at him and said, "He's your boss, so he has to tell you himself... Ah, you're his first messenger, shouldn't we have a little ceremony? How about I go kill that guy from the Dragon Mark Society to celebrate for you, to bring you some good luck!"

Zhang Mengqian's lips twitched. How could this proprietress have such an unconventional way of thinking?

He asked cautiously, "What kind of person is the boss?"

Yang Yang looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment, "Coward? I even ran the car wheel over his face, and he was still saying goodnight makka parvato."

Zhang Mengqian was both amused and exasperated. What was all this about? It seemed she would have to observe her boss further to find out what kind of person he was.

At this moment, Yang Yang suddenly became serious for once. "Your boss and his group of people all look cold on the outside, but they have fire in their hearts and romance in their bones. They never stay in one place for too long, and they will never live a monotonous life. The stars and the sea are their home."

Zhang Mengqian felt a sense of anticipation for a moment, but then her spirits plummeted.

He suddenly asked, "Boss lady, are you and the boss going to leave City 22 after this?"

Yang Yang gave him a strange look. "You have to leave too. He asked me to take you with me. You can leave things here to Lao Luo and the others. You don't need to stay here forever."

"Huh?" Zhang Mengqian was pleasantly surprised again.

At this moment, federal media reported the news again: the sniper in City 22 had just killed someone again and successfully escaped.

In the dark, sunless sewers, Qing Chen sat on a damp, decaying pipe, phone in hand. "Hey, you're supposed to be a member of the Kamishiro Corporation, right? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to keep secretly telling me when Kamishiro Kongxu uses the Cloud Mirror?"

In the sewer, only two holes in the manhole cover let in light, shining on his head.

Over the course of two days, Qing Chen evaded the pursuit of the Kamishiro Corporation countless times, not because of his exceptional evasion skills, but mainly because Kamishiro Yunluo kept giving him tips.

Every time Kamishiro Kongxu used the Cloud Mirror, he would try to pass the message to Kamishiro Yunluo would then promptly pass it on to Qing Chen...

With such an inside man, it would be difficult for Qing Chen to be caught even if he wanted to.

On the phone Kamishiro Yunluo laughed and said, "We're friends. How can I let my friend die at someone else's hands? I have to kill him myself."

"That's really weird," Qing Chen sighed. "You must really crave friends."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Kamishiro Yunluo said, "From the day I was born, I entered the database of the entire Shendai Internal Affairs Department. Someone was constantly observing my growth and giving me the most rigorous education. But all of this wasn't to make me work for the family. Rather, it's because my father is just a nobody within Shendai, and I could become the vessel for some important figure at any time. How can there be true friends in such a cursed family?"

Qing Chen asked, "What about Kamishiro Yunxiu and Kamishiro Kongxu? Aren't they counted?"

Kamishiro Yunluo was silent for a moment. "We just share the same ideals."

Qing Chen said, "Then you should just stop cultivating. They won't possess those below C-Class, or they'll become stupid."

Kamishiro Yunluo chuckled lightly, "Without cultivation, how can one end this cursed fate?"

"Are you really not afraid that I'll tell all this to the other people in the God Era?" Qing Chen muttered.

"Don't worry, after all, my survival is in your best interest," said Kamishiro Yunluo. "Enough said. I know you're hiding in the sewers right now, so hurry up and run for your life."

"What?" Qing Chen raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine hiding here."

"Do you really think the conglomerates can't handle the sewers?" Kamishiro Yunluo laughed. "Every conglomerate has some secret military technology, and the Kamishiro Corporation happens to have one to deal with the sewer warriors. In addition, Kamishiro Kongxu are already in a completely signal-blocked area. They will use the Cloud Mirror from time to time. You'll have to figure out a way to deal with it yourself."

Qing Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely outlive you."

With that, he hung up the phone.

To be honest, Qing Chen felt that his relationship with Kamishiro Yunluo was a bit strange. They both knew that they would become enemies in the future and that they each had their own interests.

But at this moment, neither of them intended to kill the other; they were just like true friends.

At this very moment, hundreds of soldiers from the Age of Gods are driving multi-functional vehicles from the Garrison Troops military district in City 22 towards various corners of the city.

Soon, all the soldiers arrived and opened the black boxes inside the tanks.

A soldier put on a neural interface helmet next to the box, and then hundreds of palm-sized, black mechanical spiders swarmed into the sewer from the black box.

They have six pairs of compound eyes on their heads, observing from all angles, and can even use night vision mode to transmit all images back to the monitoring and command center in real time.

The mechanical spider moved very quickly, traveling at almost 40 kilometers per hour.

With a total of 18 deployment points throughout the city, thousands of mechanical spiders quickly spread throughout all the city's sewers in order to find Qing Chen's hiding place.

This is a reconnaissance soldier in the Inner World. A soldier skilled in neural network interconnection can cover a radius of 40 kilometers for reconnaissance work.

The mechanical spider's core also contains high explosives, which can be detonated at any time upon encountering an enemy.

Some have suggested that the development of small-scale warfare lies in the integration of neurons with brain-computer interfaces and unmanned machines.

However, after the mechanical spiders sealed off the entire sewer system of City 22, the Garrison Troops suddenly discovered that the entire sewer was "clean" and there was no trace of the assassin!

This assassin seemed to have a precognitive ability, evading pursuit time and time again, Cloud Mirror, a powerful tool for hunting down predators, failed to capture him!

At that moment, a mechanical spider suddenly noticed that in the dark sewer, a piece of paper was "inserted" on the wall, on which someone had simply drawn "Joker" and a smiling face.

The soldier responsible for controlling the spider using neural connections was stunned for a moment. Could it be that they couldn't afford playing cards?

You don't even have a deck of cards, what are you pretending for?

In a ten-story office building in the Third District, an officer addressed the Time Walker before him. "I have summoned you all here at this short notice due to the recent situation. As you all know, assassins are currently hunting down all the Time Walker within our families, so we must take precautions."

Officer: "Everyone, please settle in here with An Xin. There are Garrison Troops in the vicinity under martial law. Once the ancestor's funeral is over and the expert returns to City 22, there will be no need to worry about this. Moreover, we have already laid Heaven and Earth Net throughout the city, and we may be able to capture him soon."

At that moment, everyone felt the staircase seem to shake.

The lights on the ceiling were also swaying.

"Earthquake!" the officer roared. "Immediate evacuation!"

These trained Time Walker hid under the table, and gradually, the building's staircase began to tilt, things on the table fell to the ground, and water glasses rolled on the floor.

The building was tilting at an increasingly steep angle, and that's when someone realized something was wrong.

The building in the Inner World is so strong that it would never collapse under such an earthquake, and the taller buildings outside the window didn't even shake!

"What's going on?" someone asked in alarm.

The officer suddenly stood up and staggered to the window to look out. He saw that the first two floors of the ten-story Garrison Troops dormitory building had all turned to sand!

The bricks on the wall were still crumbling and falling down like a waterfall of loess.

The yellow sand kept churning on the foundation, eroding and breaking all the steel bars through high-speed friction!

All Time Walker have become lambs imprisoned in this building.

Some people tried to jump directly from the building, but they soon discovered that the entire building was turning into sand and burying everyone under the quicksand!

On the other side of the building, in an open space, the soil suddenly materialized into a sentence: Zard is responsible for this attack.

At that moment, the officer suddenly understood that the assassin had been relentlessly sniping at the Time Walker because he anticipated that once the casualties reached a certain number, the Kamishiro Corporation would definitely protect the Time Walker collectively.

Yes, that's the only way to avoid wasting time!

However, under normal circumstances, no one can do this in the Garrison Troops camp unless an A-level Earth Element Awakened personally attacks!

Qing Chen happened to know that the Qing Clan had such an Earth Element Awakened, who could both complete the mission of wiping out the entire group and take the blame!

Moreover, this person seems to have a personality that particularly enjoys taking the blame...

Qing Chen killed so many Time Walker from the Age of Gods, all with the intention of gathering them together.

Of course, even if the Gods still manage these Time Walker in a scattered manner after experiencing such heavy losses and casualties, he wouldn't mind going to their doorsteps one by one.

By this point, Qing Chen had completed three of the four things he needed to do after transmigrating.

The first task was to break out of the A02 Secret Military Base and take the intelligence personnel with him.

The second thing is to develop new Parent's Association and gradually surround the Upper Sixth District with slums. This matter is not yet complete, but it is already in the works.

We just need to wait for time to tell.

The third thing is to kill all the Time Walker who are besieging him in the Outer World.

Now, only one thing remains: kill Kamiyo Yunhe.
