Night’s Nomenclature
Chapter 612: The Sorcerer’s Inheritance
Free things don’t fall from the sky. The greater the perceived benefit, the larger the hidden cost.
So, accepting the True Sight Eye is, in essence, joining the Observer organization...
Others might think, ‘Such a great thing as the True Sight Eye, let’s scam as many people as possible. I can get it and never work for them.’
But Qing Chen isn't like that.
Zheng Yuandong didn’t push it, smiling, he said, “No rush, take your time.”
Qing Chen turned away from the group, the first thing he did was take out his phone and try to post the Time Traveler Academy’s location to Weibo.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t even type the first letter.
He tried posting, “Chen Sui is the most intellectually deficient person in Time Traveler Academy” on Weibo, and he still couldn't do it.
“Huh, that's amazing, it won't even let me speak the truth?” Qing Chen wondered.
This secret-keeping spell, even for a top-tier Time Traveler like Qing Chen, was currently insurmountable!
Looks like Boss Zheng's true strength far exceeds imagination.
Boss Zheng’s original words were, “As long as your strength doesn’t surpass me,” the precondition of “surpass” is interesting. If you look closely at the wording, Boss Zheng is A-class, so to break the secret-keeping spell, one must be a Demi-God.
Out of the sixty thousand people in the Time Traveler Academy, how many Demi-Gods can there be?
Qing Chen pondered. Currently, he hadn't seen Boss Zheng use any extremely powerful witchcraft, but its auxiliary effect is unparalleled by any other inheritance.
Extraordinarily mysterious.
At this time, Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou also stepped forward. The two went to the elementary school and middle school groups respectively to cast the ‘secret-keeping’ spell on the students.
As far as Qing Chen knew, among elementary and middle school students, except for prodigies like Li Tongyun, it’s difficult for anyone to surpass their level in a short time.
Currently, having Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou help with the spell is just a temporary measure to save time.
Once this wave is over, Boss Zheng will individually cast a stronger secret-keeping spell on each student.
Qing Chen had been wondering, since Kunlun gathered all the Time Travelers together, then overseas forces would definitely try to find this place and wipe them all out.
The method of using time zones to calculate the location of Whale Island is not difficult. A single internal traitor could spell disaster for Whale Island.
Although correcting the students’ behavior is urgent, all Time Traveler students dying together is clearly a much worse outcome.
It seems that Kunlun has a solution to this problem, which is why they gathered everyone together.
In this way, all secrets will never be leaked again.
At this time, Zheng Yuandong saw that more and more students had completed the secret-keeping spell, and the group became somewhat scattered.
He stopped casting the spell and instead, using the black True Sight Eye as a pen, he carved several strange symbols on the ground in the square in front of the dormitory.
The black True Sight Eye was like chalk, leaving black marks wherever it was drawn.
Qing Chen looked at the stone carefully, but didn’t see any wear and tear on the True Sight Eye.
Everyone silently watched Principal Zheng Yuandong draw the symbols.
The first circle of symbols was based on Chinese characters, composed of thirty-six ‘men’ (gate) characters.
The second circle of symbols was based on oracle bone script. Qing Chen, with his vast knowledge, knew that they were still thirty-six ‘men’ characters.
The third circle of symbols, Qing Chen completely didn't recognize.
The fourth circle of symbols was like flying birds, as if a flock of black birds surrounded the entire formation, elegant and unrestrained.
When the fourth circle of symbols was completed, the circles of symbols began to rotate at different speeds.
Like the tumblers of the world’s most secure safe, being opened layer by layer.
In an instant, the bird-like symbols outside the fourth circle came to life, spreading their wings and flying up from the ground.
Thirty-six black birds circled in the sky, with a diameter of five meters, chasing and circling each other.
The next moment, a huge rainbow gate appeared, and a star-like light pulsed between the rainbow gates.
Zheng Yuandong stood up and laughed, “I forgot to build an arbitrary gate in the square. Students who have completed the secret-keeping spell can use this gate to return to the entrance of their respective dormitories. Just silently think about the number of your dormitory. This gate will always be here, and I will rebuild it once a year, it's also to provide convenience for everyone, so you don't have to walk so much.”
Qing Chen silently looked at this scene, then at the rainbow gate.
His heart suddenly felt a surge of warmth.
The Sorcerer’s inheritance, until now, has not shown any powerful lethality, but in terms of functionality, no inheritance in the Inner World can compare to the Sorcerer’s inheritance.
A student suddenly asked, “Principal, what kind of ability is this?”
Zheng Yuandong smiled, “The Sorcerer’s inheritance. One of the founders of the Federation, Ren Xiaosu, once traveled to the Western Regions of the Inner World, where he befriended a group of sorcerers. In the final battle of the intelligent machine crisis, those sorcerers, because of their friendship with Ren Xiaosu, came to help the people of Central China and left some secrets of the Sorcerer’s inheritance. Finally, Ren Xiaosu gave all of this to Hope Media.”
Because of the secret-keeping spell, Zheng Yuandong no longer cared when mentioning certain things.
However, when he spoke, he would occasionally glance at Qing Chen.
At one point, Qing Chen suddenly suspected that Zheng Yuandong created all this to attract him to join the Observer organization.
Or, to attract a certain group of people to join the Observer organization.
After all, Kunlun had been building Whale Island for some time, and the Kunlun’s school plan should have been on the agenda since the Time Traveler convention.
So, Zheng Yuandong could have built this arbitrary gate a long time ago, but he waited until today.
This is showing off his muscles with esoteric knowledge!
Zheng Yuandong laughed, “Actually, there were many books in the Sorcerer’s inheritance that were written in English. The people of the Inner World Federation couldn’t understand them, so this inheritance wasn’t prominent in the Inner World. Until…the appearance of the Time Travelers.”
Qing Chen understood.
The research books left behind by the sorcerers, like the Zhunti Method written in Tibetan, hadn't been fully translated by anyone in the Inner World for a long time, and then the Time Travelers got them for free.
Those sorcerers were sly, knowing that the Central Plains people in the Inner World wouldn't understand, yet leaving a bunch of books in English?
They probably never expected that there would be a large number of Time Travelers who started learning English in elementary school, the Time Travelers were nearly sick of studying English!
Zheng Yuandong continued, “The Observer organization still suspects that the Sorcerer’s inheritance still exists, and even Time Travelers have appeared, but it's unknown where. They are quite secretive and possess the art of forgetting, so no related Time Travelers have been exposed in the Outer World.”
As he was thinking, Qing Chen inadvertently saw a girl and froze. He saw the girl slowly walking towards Chen Sui in the crowd: “Hey! Chen Sui!”
Chen Sui was stunned, “Hello…who are you?”
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, “You really have a poor memory, but that’s understandable. You are a VIP, so naturally you wouldn’t remember small people like me. I’m a friend of that female star, Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu went to City 22 to see Shendai Yunluo, and I happened to go with her. The night Qiao Yu offered 2 million for your first night and was rejected, I was there too!”
Chen Sui: “…What is this?”
In the long queue, everyone was in an uproar.
“What? 2 million for the first night?”
“That Federation female star?”
“I envy Chen Sui.”
Chen Sui: “???”
Even Qing Chen was shocked. At that time, this girl’s disguise was perfect, she didn't reveal any clues of being a Time Traveler.
But he heard the girl continue to say to Chen Sui, “You seem to have a very good relationship with Shendai Yunluo. I heard Qiao Yu say that he is a rare genius in the Shendai Family, his cultivation speed is extremely fast, and he used to be a famous young master in City 10. I didn’t expect there to be a big shot like you among the Time Travelers, someone who can know Shendai Yunluo!”
Chen Sui was completely confused. Although he knew the girl had mistaken him for someone else, she was blowing things up so much that he almost wanted to accept this identity!
At this moment, Chen Sui also felt something was wrong. He whispered, “I have a mole above my eyebrow, are you sure you haven’t mistaken me?”
The girl said, “Absolutely not, I remember this mole!”
Chen Sui gritted his teeth, “Daybreak!”
This guy had once suspected that there really was someone in the world who looked exactly like him, and even wanted to go back and ask his mother if he had a twin brother.
But now it's different. Two people might look alike, but the location of a mole cannot be the same.
And in this world, who has the ability to change their appearance? Who has the nickname Thousand-Faced God?
It’s Qing Chen, the Master of Daybreak!
This nickname, Thousand-Faced God, doesn’t sound like something good. Only villains have such nicknames!
Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, silently thinking ‘dormitory b313,’ and stepped into the arbitrary gate.
In just an instant, he arrived at the door of his dormitory.
“It’s truly amazing,” Qing Chen exclaimed.
Back in the dormitory, Qing Chen saw Chen Sui slam the door shut, before growling, “I will never get along with Daybreak!”
This guy didn’t dare shout it out in the open, after holding it in for so long, he only dared to say it back in the dorm.
But objectively speaking, Chen Sui is a tough guy.
He held it in for so long, didn’t speak harsh words to anyone, and finally had to declare war against the Master of Daybreak Face[-]-to-Face[-].
At this time, Tang Wei whispered, “Boss, let’s not talk about the time you chased Yang Yang. You poached people when Daybreak was in trouble, it’s only natural for Qing Chen to want to retaliate against you. In fact, this level of retaliation is already very light. With his ability, it would be easy for him to make the entire Shendai Consortium hunt you down…”
This is a sensible person. Continuing to provoke Daybreak will undoubtedly bring greater trouble.
When Qing Chen was in City 22, he used zard’s Face[-] to kill. If he had used Chen Sui’s Face[-], the entire Matrix organization probably wouldn’t exist anymore.
It wasn't because Qing Chen was merciful that he showed restraint, it was because the hatred between them was an internal Time Traveler matter, and Chen Sui’s crime didn't deserve death, there was no need to use Shendai’s knife to resolve it.
Qing Chen is very clear-headed.
At this time, Chen Sui said to Tang Wei, “What you said is true, but Qing Chen made me wear the title of ‘the most reserved top-notch male escort,’ I can’t let that go. Even if I don't retaliate openly, I have to do something secretly!”
Qing Chen actually asked Tang Wei if Chen Sui had always been this brave.
……
……
At night, Shinguji Maki, nestled in Li Tongyun’s arms, suddenly sat up.
She seemed to have heard a warm call again.
Maki tugged on Li Tongyun’s hand and quietly ran out of the dormitory.
Li Tongyun sleepily sat up, wearing pajamas, lifted the quilt, and asked in a low voice, “Where are you going?”
However, Maki didn’t answer.
Li Tongyun quickly followed.
Jiang Xue was still asleep, unaware of what had happened.
