“I didn’t expect you, Yang Yang, to be so direct,” Qing Chen sighed. “But it’s alright, he’ll find out sooner or later.”
From the mont Qing Chen chose Hu Xiaoniu as a mber of the Outer World Knight, his identity as the Boss was destined to be revealed.
Liu Dezhu, before, gained so much attention because he himself claid to have gotten close to Li Shutong.
Later, everyone knew that Liu Dezhu was just a puppet, soone else was pulling the strings.
And this person was the one who had truly gotten close to Li Shutong.
As Zheng Yuandong had said, the third Ti Traveler in Prison 18.
Thus, Liu Dezhu’s identity beca an employee, and the Daybreak organization erged.
Many now suspect that the Daybreak Boss has beco the successor to the Knight, the next leader of the Knights.
The Daybreak mbers had their own guesses, but none dared to ask.
So, when Qing Chen admitted his Knight identity one day, at least for the Daybreak mbers, the truth would co to light.
After all, becoming a Knight isn’t that easy?
At one point, Qing Chen even suspected that Shendai and Koshima targeted him on the day of the Shendai Kongyin press conference because of the centuries-old hatred between Shendai and the Knight Order.
But that’s not the most crucial part.
For Qing Chen, the key was that the mont he admitted his identity, he would inevitably help Hu Xiaoniu recall many things.
At this mont, Hu Xiaoniu recalled how he t Qing Chen, so the kidnapping and rescue on Xingshu Road, the rescue on Laojun Mountain, and Li Dongze killing Wang Yun, were all done by this Qing Chen, the Daybreak Boss.
At this mont, Hu Xiaoniu realized how much he owed Qing Chen.
Just as Qing Chen had predicted, favors could be repaid slowly through work, but so things… Hu Xiaoniu felt sothing was wrong.
Hu Xiaoniu looked at Qing Chen: “When we were chatting in the group, Boss, how did you manage to control two accounts at the sa ti? Tianzhen told that once, when Boss was sending ssages in the group, you didn’t even have your phone!”
“…I had soone else send them for ,” Qing Chen said.
“Then, after we t Luo Wanya, you pretended to go and report to the Boss separately,” Hu Xiaoniu asked.
“It’s almost over,” Qing Chen sighed.
He muttered to himself, thankfully this was just a small-scale identity reveal social death, he could still handle it.
“Boss, you really put on a good act,” Hu Xiaoniu unconsciously changed his address, and then asked, “So, Liu Dezhu gossiped about the Boss in front of the Boss?”
“Yes,” Qing Chen responded calmly.
Yang Yang was stunned: “What gossip? Tell .”
“Wait, we’ll talk about this later, I need a mont,” Hu Xiaoniu clutched his head. “So Boss, you brought to Forbidden Zone 002, to make a Knight?”
Qing Chen didn’t answer the question, but seriously corrected him: “You should change your address, don’t call Boss Boss, rember, only a few people know my identity now, just call Qing Chen.”
Hu Xiaoniu agreed, but Yang Yang was unhappy: “I’ve heard a lot about Daybreak in Haicheng, but I only found out now that you guys even created a group without inviting in. Am I not a mber of Daybreak?”
Qing Chen was silent for a mont: “Strictly speaking, I don’t know if you count as a mber of Daybreak. You’re different from other mbers, you have your own goals and ideals, and your path and Daybreak’s may not be the sa.”
For example, Yang Yang helped so Ti Travelers who couldn’t make it in Haicheng leave the city, helping them rebuild a small-scale ho in the wilderness to survive. Daybreak wouldn’t do that.
For example, Yang Yang and his organization staged Student Protests, opposing so of the Federation’s current systems, sothing Daybreak wouldn’t do.
Therefore, Daybreak’s path and Yang Yang’s path have diverged.
“I don’t care, anyway, I’m a mber of Daybreak, Boss!” Yang Yang said with a smile. “Rember to add to the group when you go to the Outer World.”
“Alright,” Qing Chen sighed.
Yang Yang tilted his head curiously: “But Daybreak doesn’t have any goals? With such great opportunities and changes, wouldn’t it be a pity not to do sothing?”
Qing Chen thought for a mont and said, “To survive better, that’s Daybreak’s goal.”
“Not bad,” Yang Yang said with a smile, “I’ve figured it out too, everyone has different ideas, I won’t ask Daybreak to help with anything, so don’t worry about it.”
Until now, Yang Yang hadn’t even asked Qing Chen what they were doing in the wilderness.
Hu Xiaoniu thought for a mont: “I’ll go back to the tent and sleep, you guys chat.”
On his way back to the tent, he saw that in the two tents next door, the old man and Li Ke were both peering through the cracks in the tent curtains, quietly watching the bonfire.
When the old man saw Hu Xiaoniu, he imdiately waved: “Hey, kid, co here, co here.”
Hu Xiaoniu was confused: “What is it, Old Master?”
“That girl, is she Qing Chen’s friend in the Outer World?” the old man said.
Hu Xiaoniu thought for a mont and said, “I don’t know.”
The old man lanted: “How can you not tell the truth to a dying old man.”
Hu Xiaoniu said: “I didn’t expect the Li Clan head to be so gossipy…”
“Annoying,” the old man waved his hand: “Hurry back to sleep, don’t block my view.”
“Okay,” Hu Xiaoniu said, returning to his tent. After lying down for a while, he also got up and silently looked out through the crack in the tent curtain.
Their tents were side-by-side, three people neatly lying in their tents, if soone looked closely, it would look very strange…
The three looked further afield, discovering that more than three people were gossiping, in a tent not far from them, Guo Huchan was also quietly looking through the crack.
Actually, they were quite far apart, Hu Xiaoniu and the others shouldn’t have been able to spot Guo Huchan.
But the light from the bonfire shone through the cracks in the curtain onto their foreheads, and there was even a little reflection, it was impossible not to notice it, the feature was too obvious.
By the bonfire, Qing Chen added so dry branches to the fire: “Tired? You must be very tired, a 17-year-old girl doing so much.”
“Well, it’s definitely not true to say I’m not tired,” Yang Yang said with a smile, “Without anyone you can completely trust around, you have to be careful and vigilant at all tis. Sotis in the newly built town, you have to sleep using a Force field floating in the air to feel at ease. Thinking back now, it was the most peaceful ti on Xingshu Road in Luo City.”
“Are those Ti Travelers and Wildlanders malicious?” Qing Chen asked.
“Well, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Many dirty things happened during the process of rebuilding our hos,” Yang Yang said, “The world isn’t as beautiful as we think. Even if you genuinely help soone, they may not be grateful to you. It’s one thing if soone steals supplies, but so people, thinking there’s no order, want to bully the weak and grab other people’s labor results.”
“Then why help them?” Qing Chen wondered.
Yang Yang smiled, “There needs to be such a place as an example, so that more people will be willing to follow us in leaving the Conglorate and the city for the wilderness. Don’t worry, I’ve killed all those malicious people, I’m not so kind and innocent little rabbit! By the way, you guys are also going south this ti, let’s go see the town with ?”
Qing Chen shook his head, “Sorry, my trip to the wilderness this ti is urgent, I have to reach Forbidden Zone 002 as soon as possible.”
“Actually, you’re also tired, because your nerves have been tense,” Yang Yang said.
“Tired,” Qing Chen smiled, “That’s the aning of establishing Daybreak, I hope that one day soone can stand by my side and share the burden with .”
“That day will co,” at this mont, Yang Yang suddenly said, “I’ll take you up to the sky to see?”
“Ah?” Qing Chen was stunned, “Can you take people with you?”
“Of course,” Yang Yang smiled.
Speaking, she stood up, grabbed Qing Chen’s arm, and then soared into the sky, the bonfire and fallen leaves where she took off were blown outward by an invisible force.
Everyone in the camp looked up, and saw the figures of the boy and girl overlapping with the moonlight.
Many people involuntarily crawled out of their tents, only at this mont did Hu Xiaoniu understand that it wasn’t just a few people gossiping, but everyone was gossiping…
Guo Huchan stood in front of his tent and was puzzled: “The progress between these two is too fast, is this the legendary love at first sight? That’s not right, Yang Yang is very cold to everyone.”
At this ti, the old man, who had seen much of the world, murmured in the tent: “It’s a Force field Awakened One!”
In the sky, Qing Chen felt as if he was being enveloped by an invisible force, as if he had suddenly beco a magnet, and the surroundings were magnetic fields repelling him, propelling him to fly rapidly.
He felt the ground getting further and further away, and felt the girl’s hand tightly gripping his arm.
He looked at the sky and clouds that were getting closer and closer, the wilderness and the wind.
Perhaps this is the freedom that the Knights pursue throughout their lives.
“Let go of ,” Qing Chen suddenly said.
“Huh?” Yang Yang was puzzled.
“I’m serious,” Qing Chen said with a smile.
The next mont, Yang Yang suddenly let go of his hand.
But Yang Yang was surprised that she didn’t see any panic or dismay on Qing Chen’s Face[-], he closed his eyes and opened his arms, as if enjoying the state of complete freefall.
That calm and composure was sothing she had never seen in anyone.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Ti passed bit by bit, and Qing Chen’s descent got lower and lower.
But the boy never panicked.
Yang Yang suddenly accelerated downwards, the repulsion of the Force field could be heard even by the people on the ground.
The girl ca to Qing Chen’s side and grabbed his arm again: “You’re too brave! Aren’t you afraid I won’t catch you?”
“Not afraid, I trust you,” Qing Chen said with a smile.
Yang Yang was stunned, it was the other person who was risking their life, but she was the one who was nervous, the other person didn’t seem nervous at all.
Trust?
The word trust is a luxury in every era.
How many people would dare to entrust their lives to another because of the word ‘trust’?
Yang Yang suddenly said softly, “If you want to play again next ti, you can tell .”
