225. Increase the stakes for the game

    

has another purpose in doing this: to create a confident and mysterious image.he wants to convince the other person that he knows everything and controls all the rules of the taboo place.when this ima..."I'd like to know what the secret Mr. Shadow can tell me is, but I don't like to weigh my life on the scale," Qingchen said in the dark.

in this small room, Qingshi's contemporary shadow and shadow candidate sit opposite each other in the living room, there is no light, and each other's faces are shrouded in shadow.

the sitting positions of the two sides are so similar that they appear to be tit-for-tat in the room.

is like a silent throne, with two kings sitting opposite each other examining each other.

but that's what's strange about things, because one of them is the king who is really in power, holding the power behind Kyung's, and the other is just a nobody.

Shadow suddenly laughed: "strangely, obviously you are rejecting me, but I am not angry yet." Over the years, not many people have dared to refuse me. "

Qingchen thought about it and said, "Mr. Shadow seems to have killed a lot of people, so he is no longer in awe of life. One life for one secret. This kind of game may not be a big deal in your eyes, but in my opinion it is not necessary."

"when you are a shadow, you have to kill a lot of people," the shadow said with a smile. "otherwise, what do you think a shadow is"

Qingchen calmly explained: "in the eyes of the outside world, I have successfully faked my death. At this time, I can hide in the dark, wait for the other candidates to kill each other, and then reap the fisherman's profit, right"

Shadow smiles and says, "Yes."

"but you can't seem to see that I am at peace, so you have come to raise the stakes in this shadow battle," Qingchen said. "do you not want me to be too relaxed in this shadow battle"

before that, even if Qingchen planned to exonerate Liu Dezhu, he only wanted to add some chips for self-protection.

in case there is a chance to pick up the leak, you can finish the harvest even if you have a stage around.

however, he does not intend to take the initiative to set up shadow candidates because that is too dangerous and unnecessary.

the most important thing is the word "unnecessary".

and now, Shadow seems to be aware of the problem, so he has come all the way to solve it.

"since you killed Qinghuai, I'll tell you the first secret." Without external intervention, a shadow battle can be fought for years, "Shadow said slowly." during these years, factions will constantly test each other, and then choose the most cautious time to do it. But I can't wait that long, because I don't have time. "

then the shadow coughed violently again in the dark.

in the gloom, Qingchen vaguely saw the other person take out a handkerchief over his mouth, and then a strange smell of blood pervaded the air.

Qingchen suddenly realized what the other party meant when he said there was no time.

"Mr. Shadow," Qingchen said, "is it worth it to get hurt so badly for the shadow fight Is power really that important "

"Power" The shadow paused for a long time and said, "Qingshi's industry is like a high mountain. You and I will be the foundation under this high mountain." Only when you are really standing in front of this mountain will you understand that personal honor or disgrace is no longer a question worth thinking about. Power, that is only the accompanying product of undertaking a mission. "

Qingchen shook his head: "if you want me to take the initiative to participate in the shadow struggle, you should tell me how tempting power is. I can use power to sit on wealth and high positions, instead of telling me any strange sense of mission." I don't have as strong a sense of mission as you do, so I don't understand. "

"it's all right, you'll understand one day," Shadow thought about it and said, "I don't have time to wait for years, and I can't see those people slowly fighting for a championship, so I rightly hope that someone can speed up the process. At present, you are the most suitable one. "

"did Mr. Shadow play this game only with me, or did he play this game with all the shadow candidates" Qingchen asked.

Shadow laughed, "that's another secret. If you want to ask me the truth, go and kill a candidate." The world is very cruel. If you don't try to kill you, someone will try to kill you. To be the shadow of Qingshi is to see the habit of life and death. You have blood, but the smell of blood is not enough. I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still as smart and simple as before, but this is not only your strength, but also your weakness. "

Qingchen has no superfluous questions about other things. In the case of asymmetric information, asking one more question is just to increase each other's sense of superiority.

just then, Shadow stood up and smiled and said, "the game between us is always valid."

as he spoke, he suddenly took out a mirror the size of a slap, and then a shadow door appeared out of thin air on the opposite side of the mirror.

Qingchen's pupils suddenly narrowed, and he realized that the mirror in the other person's hand might be some secret taboo that allowed the Qingshi shadow to travel through space at will.

this surprised him a little bit, because the ability to travel through space is far more shocking to a physics god than when he gets a string puppet.

taboos are more mysterious than he thought.

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});

and it's impossible for others to get in and out wherever they want!

however, this contraindication can only go to the "known place". Otherwise, why would the shadow come in through the front door

Shadow seems to notice the reaction of Qingchen: "otherwise, add another chip, and if you become a shadow one day, I will give you this taboo."

before the shadow walked through the door, Qingchen asked, "actually, Mr. Shadow is worried that I am really on the side of the knight, so I have taken this trip specially. Are you worried that I will leave Qingshi"

"I'm just worried that you and Li Shu are so close that you forget your identity as Qingshi," Shadow smiled.

Qingchen was silent for two seconds and said, "Li Shutong has already given me a taboo, but you haven't."

Shadow laughed: "it's kind of interesting."

with that, he did not respond, turned around and disappeared into the door of the Shadow.

.

.

Qingchen still sat quietly on the sofa until the shadow door disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief gently.

Shadow exerts more pressure on him than he can imagine, and he is not as calm as he thought.

the other person just sat on the opposite side, which made him feel that he was talking to a tiger, and the air in the room seemed to be pulled by some force, which made the spirit of Qing Dust tense all the time.

the next second, the warm orange light in the room lit up.

Qingchen said curiously, "Why didn't you turn on the light just now so that I could see his face clearly"

one said: "I don't want to mess with such people easily."

Qingchen was stupefied for a moment, what kind of person can let one do not want to provoke easily He said angrily, "Why didn't you warn me in advance and tell me there was someone in the house"

"he won't kill you," he said slowly. "what your master asks me is to warn you in advance if you are in danger, but aren't you in danger"

"so, is he my master's trading partner" Qingchen thought for a moment and asked.

"I don't know, don't ask me," one replied, "but. I'm curious. Will you kill the other candidates as he says "

Qingchen mused for a moment: "No, I don't even believe his story at the moment."

"Woo," Yi seems to breathe a sigh of relief: "your master would be very happy if she knew you could think so."

"Why" Qingchen said curiously.

"because this shadow never has a word of truth in his mouth," he said in a relaxed tone. "it may be nonsense to say anything that makes you take part in the shadow dispute, and it may also be nonsense to give you a contraindication if you become a shadow. I even suspected that he had never been seriously injured and often coughed because of the reception conditions of some contraband!"

"then why does he want me to kill other shadow candidates What good is this for Ching Shi " Qing Dust is confused.

"he only cares about what is fun and what is interesting!" One said: "often play to achieve their own goals."

"then why didn't you say it earlier," Qingchen wondered, "do I have to wait for me to deny him before talking about such hindsight"

"I trusted your analytical skills. I knew you wouldn't believe him," Yi said.

Qingchen thought, "if he had just sent me a taboo before he left, I might have believed him first."

one was silent for several seconds: "you are really a real human being."

in fact, Qingchen is not very interested in the secrets mentioned by the shadow.

because of a lot of things, he thought clearly in the two minutes when he stood outside the door.

first, the day the divine scepter fell from space, Qingchen knew that Li Shutong must have made some kind of deal with Qingshi, otherwise the master would never have known the exact time when the tungsten rod fell.

the second point: master's friend was jointly detained by Chen and Ching. Li Shutong failed to find the place where his friend was secretly detained for so many years, but as long as the deal was completed with Ching, the secret was no longer a secret.

the third point, taboo-002 is precipitated from a Qingshi ancestor, that ancestor is an ordinary person, not extraordinary, so everyone did not expect the other party to be able to separate taboos.

this is the top secret of top secret. If it hadn't been told by Qing Shi, Li Shutong had no reason to know this information, much less should he know the reception conditions of taboos.

Qingchen mused: when did this deal begin

he thinks the deal should have started a long time ago, even before he entered prison 18.

because Li Shutong began to "collect" prisoners who deserved to die before he entered Prison 18, which is a condition for hosting-002.

at this time, one of the most marginal characters in Qingshi suddenly took part in the Shadow fight, and then was assigned to prison 18.

Qingchen has to suspect that he is actually part of the deal!

wait a minute, there is another chapteri Changqing sent the message with a smile.one: "OK, but we can't lose the money."is not a financial fanatic, she is mainly worried that if there is no money, Qingchen who asks for money will not coope...
