The top families in the imperial capital, controlling 80% of the resources and wealth of the empire?

Not the super city of the imperial capital, but——

The empire!

This oriental country that has dominated Asia since ancient times is one of the most powerful kingdoms in the world today.

At this moment, Mu Qingzhi seemed to have just cleared the fog of Qingdu’s dignitaries, and suddenly saw the imperial capital’s families standing indifferently above the sky.

After being absent-minded for a long time, Mu Qingzhi suddenly came back to her senses.

Seeing the look in Shen Chen’s eyes, she could only bow her head and say "I'm sorry."

Then she continued to trim.

The two began to chat again, but there was no topic about the empire.

Of course, personal information was also touched upon, without further investigation.

But Mu Qingzhi had a vague feeling that he should not be an ordinary person from the imperial capital.

His conversation, his knowledge, his words, and his appearance... all seemed to be perfect to the extreme.

It seemed that he was born from the most precious place in the imperial capital, and was born with the temperament of being in a superior position.

Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then looked away.

Although his face was cold, he didn't have the arrogance of the rich and powerful she had seen before. On a random night, he walked into this small and dark shop by fate.

Why did he come here? Did he see me fall?

Will it be...

Suddenly at this moment, a subtle sound of breaking through the air was heard outside the window.

The next moment, a pure black figure passed by the window in an instant.

In Shen Chen's peripheral vision, he only saw that the figure was covered with a black robe, and his face was melted into the darkness and could not be seen clearly.

On his exposed forehead, a strange mark flashed black light, revealing a frowning demonic aura.

Shen Chen must be familiar with this demonic aura.

Although this aura was pitifully weak compared to the monsters he killed in his previous life.

But he knew that it was still before the end of the world...

Mu Qingzhi felt Shen Chen's movement and stopped immediately to ask——

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Qingzhi saw Shen Chen turn around and smiled at her.

"It's okay, continue."

"Oh."

Mu Qingzhi then continued to do the final trimming work.

His hair was as bright as black jade, and it seemed that there was no need for any excessive decoration.

...

A black shadow suddenly came from this moment, wiping the window, with a very faint but extremely clear demonic aura.

However, Shen Chen remained unmoved and let the black shadow go away.

Because!

No matter how you look at it, the black shadow seems to be trying to lead him away.

You say so.

Mu Qingzhi...?

...

Finally, Mu Qingzhi handed a mirror with a broken corner to Shen Chen, her cheeks flushed.

"Sir, please take a look."

"Yes."

Shen Chen took a look and nodded indifferently.

His hair was slightly trimmed, and the long parts were cut shorter, but there was no overall adjustment.

After all, those who could trim Shen Chen's hair before were all top masters in the fashion circle of the imperial capital.

Even such an opportunity had to be competed for.

"Sir, can you wait a moment? Yes, just a few minutes..."

After a while, Mu Qingzhi lowered her head and said shyly.

Then, in Shen Chen's eyes, she hurriedly stepped into the depths of the store.

Shen Chen ignored her and continued to observe the compass.

The red line almost spread to one-ninth of the edge of the compass.

Only the last little distance was left.

And this little distance was also reached as time passed.

Then, Shen Chen lowered his eyelids and his eyes darkened.

Then, he left directly without any regrets.

His judgment seemed to be wrong again.

The compass was dim, indicating that the woman was not corrupted by the evil spirit and was an ordinary person.

......

"Sir, you can understand this as a gift, and then think it is a present..."

Mu Qingzhi pulled open the curtain briskly, holding an embroidered painting in her hand.

When she saw the empty shop, she was stunned, and the last four words "no problem" were uttered by inertia.

As light as a whisper, it floated into the cold wind and disappeared...

The moonlight rarely left the dark clouds, and sprinkled silver light into the dim shop.

The fairy tale filter was broken at this moment, revealing the rusty ironware, worn-out scissors, scribbled paint and dark corners covered with moss and water stains in the store.

It seemed that no one had ever been here, and it seemed that the previous move was all a dream.

She lowered her head and smiled, but her smile was slightly bitter -

"I haven't paid yet..."

Then she put the embroidery aside and went forward to tidy it up, but halfway through she suddenly stood up straight and was stunned.

Then she controlled herself to curl up the corners of her mouth.

You've had enough, you really movedHeartbroken!

Shen Chen left the shop, walked towards the street for a while, and suddenly stopped.

In his perception, the woman with earrings left the shop and went around to the back with her ears against the corner of the wall.

After a while, she walked slowly towards the street again.

It seemed that there was no abnormal behavior.

In this way, the only clue now seemed to be——

The black shadow that flashed by the window before.

Faintly, Shen Chen felt that this monster was different from all the monsters he had encountered before.

It seemed to be more cunning and had a bigger plot.

The intention to control Huang Shao could also affect the "tracing" ability of this compass.

Until this moment, the needle in the center of the compass was still spinning around, with no direction at all.

If it was just an ordinary supernormal event, Shen Chen would really not be interested in it.

After all, since the signs of the end of the world began to appear, all kinds of events that people called "supernormal" have become more frequent.

Either ordinary people have gained power to do evil, or low-level monsters are causing trouble, and the Shen family doesn't bother to care.

But this monster is a little different. Its actions are not like those of a barbaric and bloodthirsty monster.

Instead, it is like an ambitious person who is plotting against the city of Qingdu.

The night is as dark as ink. Shen Chen walks slowly on the dilapidated streets. He thinks for a while and walks towards an administrative district in this area.

...

The third administrative district of Qingdu.

Although it is late at night, the lights are still bright.

Officials in the Qingdu area are concentrated in this small area of ​​pointed buildings to work.

Although they are a little tired, they are extremely satisfied, especially after each policy is reviewed, they will always be surrounded by a lot of flattering people.

At this moment, outside the administrative district, Shen Chen stepped straight into the gate.

"Sir, please leave the office area."

A guard came out of the guard booth and stopped Shen Chen.

The lights flickered at this moment, illuminating Shen Chen's face.

A well-mannered man in a suit and tie just walked over from the administrative district.

He seemed to have seen what was happening here, and he pushed his glasses up and came to Shen Chen.

He looked a little arrogant, glanced at Shen Chen, and said lightly-

"I'm sorry, we don't receive irrelevant people here. If you want to find someone, please leave your contact information or ask him to pick you up in person..."

"If you want to appeal, please follow the procedures and don't interfere with the officials' work. "

As a senior official of an administrative district, it is no exaggeration to say that he can put on a show to 99% of Qingdu people.

Looking at the man in front of him still standing there, the man frowned, feeling a little unhappy because he was ignored.

"Why are you still standing here? What do you think this place is? No entry for idle people..."

Shen Chen just finished measuring the surrounding buildings at this moment, and put his eyes lightly on the arrogant man in front of him.

The man seemed to want to speak, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Chen slightly raised his eyes and showed a palm-sized certificate in one hand.

"Call your boss."

The certificate is not big, decorated with three-dimensional crimson lace, with a red dragon embroidered on it, and white characters on a black background in the center, covered with seals.

It is concise and clear, but the meaning it represents is enough to make people... horrified to the point of losing their souls.

The man with glasses first stood straight like a sculpture for three seconds, then his legs and feet softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.
