43. Breathe

just over ten seconds, four drones jammed the teenager somewhere in the corridor, each with a gun pointed directly below him.at the same time, a gate was opened under the prison fortress, and nine rob..."only the shadow can be the head of the house" Qing Dust is confused.

so far, he has no clear idea of the shadow struggle. Because of the relationship that can not be exposed, he can only pretend to know everything.

now, you can finally solve a lot of doubts.

ask directly!

Li Shutong also knew that he was not from the inner world, so he explained it like a teacher: "it is said that Qingshi existed in the last era of human civilization. At that time, the shadow was just a role that the Ching Group could discard at will, singling out the children of Ching who had no background, and the power was not as great as it is now. "

"later, a talented Qingshi shadow turned over the table. He has laid down new rules ever since. "

"all householders must be shadows and see the dirtiest things in the world." And those who have been shadows, the family will never turn their back on support and grow old. "

Qingchen wondered: "how many shadows are there"

Li Shutong replied: "on average, a generation will be chosen in more than a decade, and a generation of householders may have accompanied a dozen shadows."

he continued: "Medical technology is so powerful in this day and age that a householder can live for hundreds of years, and some even live for more than 150 years. Therefore, when the owner abdicates, he should choose the one he most approves of from more than a dozen shadows. "

"what about other shadows" Qingchen asked.

"hand over power," Li Shutong said, "but you can spend your twilight years in peace. When you become a shadow, you not only have the qualification to be the master of your own house, but also have a gold medal to avoid death. "

"I always think there is something strange about this system. Since the ancestor of Ching himself was a shadow and knew the suffering of the shadow, why did he set up such a prank-like system" Qing Dust is confused.

"Oh, he didn't set the rule of nine people fighting for the throne, it was his son. It seems that because his son chose several shadows are useless, and there is no one around him, so let the lower people fight for themselves, and the one that wins is naturally the strongest," explains Li Shutong.

"didn't Ching's ancestor stop his son" Qingchen asked.

"at first, the shadow battle was just for everyone to do the task, and who had the stronger ability would win," Li Shutong said. "however, nearly a thousand years later, the shadow battle has gradually changed, and it has begun to become a shadow of who can survive."

Qingchen nodded, which is only logical.

the family law laid down by our ancestors is the embodiment of idealism, but all ideals will gradually decay with time.

nothing stays the same, because people change all the time.

"since then, the practice of the shadow struggle has continued," Li Shutong said with a smile. "maybe the owners of Ching's family understand that if Qingshi is not fierce, how can he gain a foothold in this world"

"too," Qingchen nodded. "so I have to be careful of my own safety now, because all nine shadow candidates want to get rid of others."

"well," Li Shutong nodded, "to tell you the truth, this time it was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that someone wanted to get rid of others at the very beginning. It wasn't so fast before. Unless someone feels threatened by you. "

"because I'm close to you" Qingchen analysis: "No, before I know you, the dead man has followed me in."

"Don't think too much about it. You'll know it over time," Li Shutong said.

"can I withdraw from the Shadow fight" Is there a conflict between Qingshi and joining the knights " Qingchen asked.

"No conflict," Li Shutong shook his head. "just try not to let people know that it's better for you to join the Cavaliers. Don't you see that I'm all locked up here From now on, I'll teach you in the middle of the night, and the day will be the same as now. And I don't suggest you drop out of the shadow battle, because you haven't seen how powerful the shadow is. "

"well," Qingchen nodded that he was not a gutless man. Since Li Shutong said not to quit, he would play with the other candidates.

at this time, the No. 18 prison was particularly empty, but Qingchen felt at ease.

Li Shu sat cross-knee on the ground, the big cat snuggled up to him and fell asleep, and Qingchen sat opposite with cross-knee.

"is there anything else you want to ask" Li Shutong asked.

"I think the standard weapons or guns in the world. Are there any other more powerful weapons" Qingchen asked.

"Yes, but not many," Li Shutong said. "there are small grenades specifically aimed at mechanical limbs, as well as special weapons loaded on mechanical limbs, but the consortium's military is still dominated by guns, and bullets are basically made of copper."

Qingchen wondered: "the world is supposed to be very advanced in science and technology, so why are weapons similar to the outside world"

Li Shutong said with a smile, "because to kill a person, one bullet is enough."

Qingchen understands that people continue to use it because it is the most cost-effective weapon, and it is enough. It is critical that

is enough for three words.

it's like someone on the Internet says that mirrors in the world are not as technological as they thought, and there are no additional functions except to remove fog.

this is because the function of the mirror is so simple. It is not that the more complex the technology is, the more complex the items for daily use will be.

"all right, after all the chores, let's get down to business," Li Shutong said.

"of all the shortcuts in the world, is it the farthest" Qingchen asked.

"that's right," Li Shutong nodded. "hold out your right hand."

Qingchen stretched out his right hand and reached out in front of him, only to see Li Shutong suddenly squeeze his wrist.

just for a moment, he felt his breath stagnated for a moment, as if a strong spiritual will was controlling his breathing rhythm, even the speed of his blood flow.

the pulse pinched by Li Shutong seems to have been put on a yoke.

the next moment, Li Shutong's breathing rhythm changed, and Qing Dust helplessly saw the other person exhale a white breath, followed by a flaming pattern from cheek to ear.

Qingchen was stunned!

what the other party shows is a complete violation of biological common sense!

but before he reacted, Qingchen felt that his breathing rhythm had been forcibly changed, and his heartbeat and breathing were all different!

Qingchen only feels that when he breathes, it seems that a breath of fire rolls into his throat and then spreads all the alveoli. The terrible temperature sweeps the whole body, and then the pain breaks his heart and lungs.

is not the real temperature, but the illusion of inexplicable pain.

slowly, flaming lines began to appear on the left and right cheeks of Qingchen, and the pain spread to the brain along the lines.

he tried to break free from the wrist he had been pinned down by Li Shutong, but Ye Wan, who was beside him, calmly said, "hold it."

Qingchen gradually quieted down, without struggling or pleading.

just like when he went waterboarding yesterday.

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "remember what I said, experienced a painful life, can be higher." the past, but I still have one more thing to do.".it's near midnight.Qingguozhong hummed a song and walked under the dim street lamp.
