Chapter 50

"Why are you leaving? I want to hear what Liu Dezhu has to say!" Nan Gengchen muttered.

Qing Chen glanced at him: "What's there to hear? Are you a time traveler? If not, it won't do you any good."

Nan Gengchen was taken aback: "This is all first-hand information from the inner world. What if you... we can use it if we travel through later?"

"Not interested," Qing Chen said nonchalantly.

"Traveling is so interesting," Nan Gengchen said. "If we both travel to the inner world, we can become extraordinary beings, or get a full set of mechanical limbs and become supermen. Then I'll form a Father's Worry Alliance with you, sounds cool, right?"

Qing Chen: "..."

The reporter was eventually blocked by a group of teachers downstairs. The school is a place for learning; how could they let outsiders run wild?

During the first class break, a figure sneaked over the school wall.

He grabbed a student on the playground and asked: "How do I get to Class 4, Grade 2?"

The student was clearly taken aback by the Sichuan accent but still pointed the way.

The middle-aged man thanked him and headed for the classroom.

At this moment, Liu Dezhu had just returned from the office. Before the classmates could gather around him, someone suddenly rushed up to Liu Dezhu: "You're Liu Dezhu? I'll give you money, can you talk to Uncle Li and let me go?"

Everyone was stunned.

The classroom was only quiet for a second, but that second of silence was particularly jarring in the otherwise noisy environment.

"This is... Jian Sheng! He's still in Luocheng! Quick, call the teacher!" a classmate exclaimed.

After coming to Luocheng on business, Jian Sheng didn't leave because his matters weren't resolved yet.

Today, he saw the news on Weibo and immediately rushed to Luocheng Foreign Language School.

Actually, Jian Sheng wasn't sure if Liu Dezhu was the person he was looking for, but since everyone was saying so...

He stood at the door of Class 4, Grade 2 and said: "What's this about not being able to hold on?"

The students at the door took a while to react: "You mean Liu Dezhu?"

"Right, right, Liu Dezhu!" Jian Sheng patted his head.

The student pointed, and Liu Dezhu, sensing something was wrong, got up and tried to run.

Jian Sheng rushed forward and grabbed him, saying urgently: "I know you're a big shot in Prison 18, and the extraordinary being who interrogated me followed you. You must be very important!"

Liu Dezhu was panic-stricken: "It's not me, you've got the wrong person!"

"Hey, don't worry, I won't hurt you..." As Jian Sheng spoke, he was pulled out of the classroom by two teachers who had just arrived: "I'll give you money!"

In the corridor, Jian Sheng's curses echoed, and the students all turned to look at Liu Dezhu...

Liu Dezhu was almost at his wits' end. He never thought that a single lie would lead to so much trouble.

Honestly, what he most wanted right now was to find the third time traveler in the prison!

He wanted to see who had made him carry such a heavy burden!

At this moment, Qing Chen was sitting in the classroom, seemingly oblivious to the commotion outside.

He saw Nan Gengchen take out a computer programming textbook and asked: "Why are you suddenly reading this?"

"Nothing... nothing," Nan Gengchen said. "Just trying to learn a skill. What do you think about getting closer to Liu Dezhu? If we get along well, we might get some benefits in the inner world."

"No need," Qing Chen replied. "I'm not a time traveler."

But at that moment, he suddenly lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

He knew Liu Dezhu was a fake, but time travelers like Nan Gengchen didn't know.

There were probably thousands of time travelers across the country. Would anyone be attracted to Luocheng by Liu Dezhu's "identity"?

Because this was the easiest way to find a reliable teammate in the inner world, according to the known information.

He Xiaoxiao suggested that everyone form teams in the inner world, but the difference between a bad teammate and a reliable one was significant.

However, what Qing Chen couldn't understand was why the Kunlun organization hadn't shown up yet, given the magnitude of today's events.

Was Li Shitong's legacy not significant enough to draw attention? Definitely not.

There must be something wrong.

All the way until evening study, Qing Chen didn't see any sign of Kunlun. He felt something was about to happen, but he didn't know what.

...

At 9:20 PM, the students of Grade 2 and Grade 3 at Luocheng Foreign Language School rushed out of the school.

The campus, illuminated by the dim streetlights, had a special kind of beauty.

Students in school uniforms walked down the paths, chatting in pairs. Classmates on bicycles said goodbye and sped into the night.

Some girls walked ahead, and the boys who had a crush on them chased and played with their friends, trying to catch their attention.

This seemed to be what youth should be like.

At this moment, Liu Dezhu said goodbye to his classmates, pushed his bicycle out of the shed, and rode towards Xinglong Garden.

He recalled the events of the day, feeling more and more wronged, but he didn't know what to do.

As he passed Huanghe Road, he suddenly felt something was off. A black minivan was quickly approaching from the side.

He turned his head and saw that both people in the front of the minivan were wearing sunglasses, and the passenger was looking at him.

Liu Dezhu's heart sank.

Just as they were about to enter a bridge without surveillance cameras...

The driver of the black minivan swerved and deliberately rammed into Liu Dezhu with the side of the car.

He swerved onto the sidewalk to avoid the collision, but the black minivan followed and crashed into him and his bicycle.

The sound of tires screeching and Liu Dezhu's screams filled the air.

The black minivan skidded to a stop at the curb, and the side door opened with a click. A cold voice came from inside: "Quick, take him away."

Two men in sunglasses jumped out of the car and rushed towards Liu Dezhu without hesitation.

They looked like tough guys from Hong Kong movies.

But the most critical thing was that Liu Dezhu clearly saw that both men had mechanical limbs!

"Help!" Liu Dezhu was terrified and screamed with all his might.

Suddenly, a bright set of headlights illuminated everyone from behind.

The sound of an engine, like a thunderous roar, grew louder as a black SUV charged towards the black minivan from a distance.

With a loud crash, the black SUV rammed into the side of the black minivan!

The black minivan rolled over!

The two tough guys who had gotten out of the car changed their expressions and immediately pounced on the black SUV. Their mechanical limbs extended into long knives, but before they could reach the SUV, a figure leaped down from the six-meter-high overpass above.

Someone had been waiting there all along!

The figure fell quickly and landed directly on the heads of the two tough guys.

Steel legs stomped on the shoulders of the two tough guys, pinning them to the ground.

Blue sparks danced as the mechanical limbs on the tough guys' shoulders cracked, revealing the electronic components inside.

The figure that had leaped down turned to Liu Dezhu and asked: "Are you okay? Hello, nice to meet you. I'm the head of Kunlun, Zheng Yuandong."
