Nomenclature of Night

　　 "Shadow can become Patriarch?" Qing Chen wondered.

　　 He hasn't had a clear concept of the shadow war so far. Because of the relationship he couldn't expose before, he could only pretend that he knew everything in a vague way.

　　 Now, I can finally solve many doubts.

　　 Ask directly!

Li Shutong also knew that he was not a member of the other world, so he murmured and explained his confusion like a teacher: "It is said that the Qing clan existed in the last era of human civilization. At that time, the shadow was only the Qing clan group. The role that can be discarded at will, and the Qing clan’s children who have no background are selected for the role, and the power is not as great as it is now."

　　 "Later, a certain talented Qing clan's shadow turned the table up against the guest. From then on, he set new rules."

　　 "All patriarchs must have been shadows and have seen the dirtiest things in the world. Those who have been shadows will never betray their families to support their old age."

　　 Qingchen wondered: "How many shadows are there?"

　　 Li Shutong replied: "On average, a generation will be selected for more than ten years, and a generation of patrons may have accompanied more than a dozen shadows."

He continued: "The medical technology in this era is already very powerful. A patriarch can live for a hundred years, and some can even live for more than one hundred and fifty years. Therefore, when the patriarch abdicates, he must choose from more than a dozen shadows. The one he recognizes most."

　　 "Where are the other shadows?" Qing Chen asked.

　　 "Hand over power," Li Shutong said, "but you can spend your old age in peace. To be a shadow, you not only have the qualifications to be the head of the house, but you also get a gold medal for death."

　　 "I always think this system is a bit strange. Since the ancestor of the Qing clan had been a shadow himself, and knew the suffering of shadows, why did he set up this general system for raising Gu?" Qing Chen wondered.

"Oh, the rules of the nine-person contest for thrones were not set by him. It was set by his son. It seems that because his son has chosen several shadows, they are all rubbish, and there is no one around him, so let the people underneath fight for themselves and win. The one that is the best is naturally the strongest," Li Shutong explained.

　　 "Did the Qing ancestor not stop his son?" Qing Chen asked.

"In the beginning, the shadow war was just for everyone to do the task, whoever was more capable would win," Li Shutong said: "However, nearly a thousand years have passed, and the shadow war has gradually become more and more of a shadow, and it has begun to become the shadow of whoever can survive. "

　　 Qingchen nodded, this is logical.

　　The family law set by the ancestors is a manifestation of idealism, but all ideals will gradually decay over time.

　　 Nothing is set in stone, because people's hearts are always changing.

　　 "The practice of this shadow war continued," Li Shutong said with a smile: "Perhaps Qing's Patriarch understands that if Qing is not fierce, how can he gain a foothold in this world?"

　　 "Yes," Qing Chen nodded: "So, I have to be careful of my own safety now, because the nine shadow candidates all want to get rid of the others."

　　 "Well," Li Shutong nodded, "To be honest, it was beyond my expectation this time. I didn't expect that someone wanted to get rid of other people at the beginning. It hasn't been so fast in the past. Unless, someone feels the threat from you."

　　 "Because I am close to you?" Qing Chen analyzed: "No, no, right? Before I knew you, the dead man had already followed me in."

　　 "Don't think too much, you will know after a long time," Li Shutong said.

　　 "Can I withdraw from the shadow war? Is there a conflict between joining the knight in Qing clan?" Qing Chen asked.

"No conflict," Li Shutong shook his head: "It's just better not to let people know that you are joining the Cavaliers. Didn't you see that I was locked up here. From now on I will teach you in the middle of the night, and the day will still be like now. And I It is not recommended that you withdraw from the shadow war, because you have not seen how powerful the shadow is."

　　 "Well," Qing Chen nodded. He was not a courageous person. Since Li Shutong said not to quit, he would play with other candidates.

　　 At this time, the prison in No. 18 was exceptionally empty, and Qing Chen felt unconstrained.

　　 Uncle Li sat cross-legged on the ground, the big cat slept with him, and Qing Chen also sat cross-legged on the opposite side.

　　 "Anything else to ask?" Li Shutong asked.

　　 "I think the standard weapon in the world is still a firearm, are there other more powerful weapons?" Qing Chen asked.

　　 "Yes, but not many," Li Shutong said: "There are small EMP grenades specifically for mechanical limbs, and there are also special weapons mounted on mechanical limbs, but the consortium's military still focuses on firearms, and the bullets are basically copper."

　　 Qingchen wondered: "The inner world is supposed to be very advanced in science and technology. Why are weapons similar to those in the watch world?"

　　 Li Shutong smiled and said: "Because, to kill a person, one bullet is enough."

　　 Qingchen understands, everyone continues to use it because it is the most cost-effective weapon, and it is enough.

　　 is enough to use three words is very important.

　　 Just like someone said on the Internet, the mirror of the inner world is not as technologically as imagined. Apart from the ability to defog, it has no other additional functions.

　　 This is because the function of a mirror is so simple. It’s not that the more complicated the technology, the more complicated the daily-used items~www.readwn.com~Okay, after the chores, let’s talk about business," said Li Shutong.

　　 "Is that the farthest way among all shortcuts in the world?" Qing Chen asked.

　　 "That's right," Li Shutong nodded, "Extend your right hand."

　　 Qingchen spread out his right hand and stretched out in front of him, but saw Li Shutong suddenly pinch his wrist.

　　 Just for a moment, he felt that his breathing was stagnant, and it seemed that there was a strong spiritual will controlling his breathing rhythm, and even the speed of blood flow.

　　 The pulse pinched by Li Shutong seemed to be chained.

　　 The next moment, Li Shutong's breathing rhythm changed, Qing Chen watched the other party spit out a white breath, and then spread the flame pattern from the cheek to the ear.

　　 Qingchen is stunned!

　　 All these things shown by the other party completely violate the common sense of biology!

　　 Before he could react, Qing Chen felt that his breathing rhythm had begun to be forcibly changed, and his heartbeat and breathing were all different!

　　 Qingchen only felt that when she breathed, she felt like a fire raging into her throat, and then spreading over all the alveoli. The terrifying temperature swept through her body, and then she felt heart-piercing pain!

　　 is not the real temperature, but the illusion caused by inexplicable pain.

　　 Slowly, Qing Chen began to have flame lines on his left and right cheeks, and the pain spread into his brain along the lines.

　　 He wanted to get rid of his wrist restrained by Li Shutong, but Ye Wan, who was beside him, calmly said, "Hold it down."

　　 Qingchen gradually calmed down, without struggling or begging.

　　 is like when he experienced waterboarding yesterday.

　　 Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Remember what I said, you can be more advanced after experiencing a painful life."
