The Strongest Tour Guide Team
"What exactly is the last rule of Forbidden Zone No. 10?" Shadow asked.
"I can't say, it's a secret of us knights, and you're not a knight," Qing Chen said.
Shadow raised an eyebrow. "I'm your own brother, I've helped you so much, and you do this to me? Give me back the Jingshan Tea you drank. Also, to prevent Yang Yang from only having eyes for the force field, I prepared another can for her, that's also on your tab!"
"How can you ask for something back after giving it away? Are you a child?" Qing Chen said indignantly.
Shadow: "You were so cute in my arms when you were little, but you're not cute at all now!"
The two people arguing were holding playing cards, and each of them had a bunch of white paper strips stuck to their foreheads.
Yang Yang sat to the side, resting her chin on the small table in front of her, watching with great interest as Yingzi and Qing Chen bickered.
Despite being well-known figures in the Federation, they still showed a childlike side.
A man is a boy until he dies.
But in reality, neither Shadow nor Qing Chen ever had the chance to show this side of themselves.
In the environment where the shadow resides, intrigue and backstabbing abound, and even family members are more dangerous than strangers...
Qing Chen was all alone and no one allowed him to be willful.
Therefore, it is especially interesting when the two of them get together.
When the two stopped talking and started arguing, Yang Yang quickly peeled a tangerine for Yingzi.
Shadow turned her head away. "I won't eat it. Give it to Qing Chen, let him have some sweetness, and stop making me angry all the time!"
Yang Yang: "..."
Zhang Mengqian asked from the side, "Boss lady..."
"Ahem," Yang Yang stepped on Xiao Mengqian's toe under the table, then whispered, "You can call me that in private, but call me Aunt Yang Yang normally."
After all, there was a shadow around her, so she still needed to leave a good impression of being reserved with her elders.
She hasn't been driving recklessly these past two days!
Moreover, Qing Chen's mind wasn't on that at all. It was one thing for her to joke around normally, but she had to be more restrained in front of her elders.
It was evening, Yang Yang glanced at her arm; the countdown to the return was 28:32:21.
5:30 p. m.
Yang Yang whispered, "If we get off the bus with them, won't they be wary of us?"
Qing Chen got up and packed his things. "It's okay, I'll handle it. Let's get ready to get off the bus."
As he spoke, he went to the train door and waited for the Steam Train to enter the void, eventually stopping 20 kilometers away from Forbidden Zone No. 10.
Qing Chen and the others were the first to jump off the train.
Ma Jingjing and the others were somewhat surprised and uncertain when they saw this scene, wondering why this group of people were also here.
But just because Qing Chen is getting off here doesn't mean I shouldn't get off either.
Ma Jingjing and the others felt a bit awkward. In this desolate place, there were only so many people in the car, and it would feel like they were being followed no matter who was behind them.
As soon as I got off, the Steam Train drove off without even waiting for the 10-minute stop.
It was as if they were afraid someone would get back into the car.
Ma Jingjing and the others looked bewildered. "That's strange. It was one thing to arrive ten minutes early before, but why is the departure time also being moved up?"
At this moment.
But then Qing Chen suddenly turned around and looked at them. "Hey, why are you following us?"
Zhang Mengqian twitched her lips, thinking to herself that her boss's heart was truly filthy.
They clearly heard others talking about coming here, so they followed along, but the boss got off the bus beforehand and started blaming them...
Beside them, Shadow was still playing along with Qing Chen's act. "Yeah, why are you following us?"
Yang Yang felt that these were definitely brothers, and it was impossible for anyone to impersonate them.
You can't impersonate them.
At this point, Ma Jingjing and her companions were speechless. "We weren't following you! We were going to get off here anyway! Our tour guide was waiting for us up ahead!"
"Oh, really?" the shadow said. "Never mind then, it seems to be a coincidence."
Qing Chen: "Yes, you misunderstood."
After saying that, Shadow and Qing Chen walked towards Forbidden Zone No. 10 in tacit agreement, as if nothing had happened.
"Won't the tour guide have some issues?" Qing Chen asked in a low voice, "How many companies did you report my whereabouts to?"
The shadowy figure said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've given information to any organization that has a motive to kill you, I've even provided them with a fire pit."
"When you say things like that, can you please not add the word 'don't worry' before it? Who can feel at ease? What if you suddenly fall asleep again?" Qing Chen complained.
"That's great. I've never been protected by anyone in my life before," Shadow said, even more smugly.
At this moment, both of them saw three tents in the distance, and three people were gathered around a campfire, chatting about something.
This must be the tour guide Ma Jingjing was talking about.
Ma Jingjing and the others were overjoyed and quickly ran over, shouting, "Hey!"
When the three young men saw them coming, they all stood up.
Surprisingly, the three young men brushed past Ma Jingjing and the others, completely ignoring Ma Jingjing's outstretched right hand, and went to greet Qing Chen and Yingzi.
One of them enthusiastically said, "Are you here to explore Forbidden Zone No. 10? We are all top-notch tour guides, providing first-class service!"
Qing Chen looked at the three of them and immediately felt terrible.
Zard, Qing Ye, Qing Qu.
The former was the top assassin under the command of the Qing family patriarch.
The latter two are top-tier generals under Shadow, each in charge of Shadow Unit. What are these three doing here in the middle of nowhere acting as some kind of ridiculous tour guide?!
This is way too outrageous!
Qing Chen would call these three the Federation's strongest tour guide team!
He stared blankly at the shadow, who chuckled softly, "This is the kind of thing you do to slaughter your own brother. Don't worry, come with me on this journey. Even if the gods come, I'll kill them all for you."
On this journey, Shadow had no other wishes but to be a good older brother after revealing his identity.
Anyone who tries to kill Qing Chen must die.
As they were talking, Zard walked over enthusiastically, grasped Qing Chen's right hand with both of his, and excitedly said after holding back for a while, "Pledge of Allegiance +1!"
Qing Chen: "..."
Fortunately, he didn't come out disguised as Zard this time, otherwise they would probably be speechless when they look at each other now.
Thank goodness.
While I was thinking, Ma Jingjing suddenly said, "Hello, we are the ones who hired the tour guide."

"Oh, really?" Qing Ye turned around with a smile. "Sorry, sorry, I mistook you for a customer. Look at the mess you've made... Did you bring the gold coins?"
Yi Wenbo took out three gold coins. "This is the final payment."
"Great! This time, with 11 of us venturing into Forbidden Zone No. 10, we're sure to gain a lot," Qing Ye said cheerfully.
Zard: "We explore Forbidden Zone during the day and have bonfire parties at night. What could be more enjoyable than that?"
Ma Jingjing was dumbfounded. He suddenly wondered if he had wasted money.
First of all, Forbidden Zone are extremely dangerous, especially the Forbidden Zone No. 10, one of the Federation's ten most dangerous places, which is definitely more dangerous.
Why do people hold bonfire parties so easily?
It's good enough that they survived.
Yi Wenbo and the others looked at the three tour guides in front of them and muttered to themselves, "Aren't they a bit unreliable? They don't seem very professional. Maybe they're just trying to scam us."
Ma Jingjing replied softly, "Let's see. They're going to come into the Forbidden Zone anyway. If they're unreliable, we can't go any further into the heartland, even if it's a waste of money."
Yi Wenbo said, "Wait a minute, weren't the four of us supposed to be the tour guide? When did we bring that 'spirit' along too?"
Now, they don't even know Qing Chen's real name, so they simply call him "Spirit of the Qing Chen" in private, which is vivid and descriptive.
Ma Jingjing pulled Zard aside and said, "The four of us are your employers. Why did you bring other people? Won't more people just cause trouble?"
Qing Ye said with a smile, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if we bring one more or one less. We can all enjoy ourselves together, and having more friends means having more options."
Ma Jingjing was furious. "What do you mean? We agreed to only bring four people. And those four people didn't even pay the tour guide fee!"
He would actually be willing to explore Forbidden Zone with more people. After all, humans are social animals. When you watch a horror movie with more than ten people, you won't be so scared.
But what he couldn't stand was that they were the employers, so why were these three tour guides always heading towards the spirit?
Wait, why are those two tour guides taking pictures with the spirit?!
What the heck? Shouldn't taking photos be something you do after the trip is over?
Qing Chen asked Shadow in a low voice, "Will they agree to us suddenly joining the team?"
The shadow said with a smile, "Capital can change many decisions."
At this moment, Qing Ye took out a gold coin and said to Ma Jingjing, "How about this, I'll return one gold coin to you, but the three of us will bring four more people, is that alright?"
Ma Jingjing was taken aback for a moment, and Xiao Yu quickly stuffed the gold coins into her pocket. "Okay!"
At that moment, Ma Jingjing and the others had no idea who was gathered around them, or how safe their adventure was.
Qing Chen secretly cut his finger, squeezed out two drops of blood, and smeared them on Ma Jingjing and the others when they weren't paying attention.
He squeezed out a few more drops of blood and smeared them on Yang Yang, Zhang Mengqian, Qing Ye, Yingzi, and others.
He originally wanted to do it discreetly, but there were just too many experts here...
Apart from Ma Jingjing and the other three, everyone else noticed his actions.
The shadowy figure said with a half-smile, "I finally know the fourth rule of Forbidden Zone No. 10. No wonder only you knights can enter, no wonder everyone else gets beaten up, no wonder even Kashima couldn't guess this rule, no wonder you're too embarrassed to say it. You knights are truly lacking in virtue, and that expert from Kashima is really stupid."
Logically speaking, the expert planted by the knight was a member of the Kashima Corporation.
No matter how discreetly the Knights acted, Kashima would know that he had lost a person and that a powerful expert had been planted in Forbidden Zone No. 10.
Therefore, the person most familiar with this expert should be Kashima, and the person who first guessed the rules should also be Kashima.
However, the Kashima Corporation sent people here many times, but each time they failed, which is hard to explain.
Sometimes, Kashima even began to doubt whether the person planted here was actually a master from their family.
Even the shadow had its doubts.
And now the shadow understands...
Rules are created based on the likes and dislikes of extraordinary individuals in their lifetime. So, who would be the person that this master of the Kashima Corporation hated the most in his lifetime?
Of course it's the knight who planted him here!
For example, this expert liked to eat fried chicken, liked to dance ballroom dancing, disliked cilantro, and disliked people with implanted mechanical limbs...
These likes and dislikes are nothing compared to his hatred for the knight!
Therefore, the fourth rule is that everyone must bring the blood of a knight to this place, exchanging the knight's blood for the right to enter the Forbidden Zone.
He wanted everyone to hunt down the knight; he wanted the knight to be coveted like the flesh of Tang Sanzang.
The reason Shadow called this Kashima expert stupid was precisely because of this rule.
It's one thing if others can't guess, but even if they do, ordinary people simply can't get their hands on the blood of a knight. The easiest way to get this stuff is... actually, it's the knights.
Moreover, it's highly likely that only a knight could obtain it.
Therefore, this Forbidden Zone No. 10 not only failed to become his opportunity to take revenge on the knight, but instead became the knight's vegetable garden.
The shadow sighed, "Such a stupid person deserves to be planted here. Let's go."
