Chapter 715: 422, Time Traveler Federation

In He Xiaoxiao’s group chat.

King of Intruders: “Have you guys seen what’s happening in Europe? Their A-Classes seem pretty formidable, wonder if Boss He and Boss Zheng could take them on?”

Huan Yu: “According to reliable gossip, Boss Zheng actually fought with that Mike. Neither side won, but Mike had more injuries than Boss Zheng.”

King of Intruders, curious said, “It seems like there are no contraindicated courts in North America, so a lot of taboo items are circulating among the people. You can even trade taboo items, bartering to get what suits you best. Anyone interested in forming a team to hit North America, snag some taboo items, and bring them back?”

One has to say, King of Intruders did point out a fairly unique situation.

In the Inside World Federation, it’s said that nearly two-fifths of all taboo items are contained by the contraindicated courts, meaning, of the over five hundred registered taboo items, more than two hundred are in the contraindicated courts.

So, in the Inner World, getting your hands on a taboo item is tough, because they’re scarce.

Whereas in North America, all taboo items are dispersed among the populace, and they even circulate each other. If you feel your taboo item isn’t working well or isn’t right for you, you can just swap it with someone else.

Taboo items, apart from the few that directly cause damage, the rest are functional and only really work to their fullest in the right hands.

Just like how Capri is controlled by Qing Chen to be able to do his job properly…

Zard criticized: “Have you lost your mind, running off to unfamiliar North America to steal their taboo items on their home turf? They overuse genetic potions there, never mind the side effects, their average strength is higher than ours. Going there, wouldn’t you just be walking into a trap?”

King of Intruders: “But we have powerful Time Travelers too!”

Zard no longer responded to King of Intruders, but suddenly tagged in the group @TabooItemACE-999: “Boss He, I heard that the Jindai and Deer Island had gathered in Europe initially planning to kill Daytime Member Qing Chen, right?”

TabooItemACE-999 didn’t reply.

The rest of the group was stunned; they had no idea that an incident shocking the whole world was somehow connected to their local Time Travelers.

And no one mentioned this in the trending searches!

Zard continued to tag @TabooItemACE-999: “At least say something, right? Isn’t Kyushu an external affairs agency? Were you guys involved in the European situation?”

TabooItemACE-999: “Guided by the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other Time Traveler organizations, Kyushu has traditionally not participated in conflicts between organizations. We deeply sympathize with and regret the deaths of Time Travelers from Jindai, Deer Island, and the Future Organization…”

Everyone understood, Kyushu must have been involved…

Only their involvement was more covert and went unnoticed.

Even if they really weren’t involved, Kyushu surely was gloating at the moment.

But that’s nothing, being poor brings good neighborly relations, and wealth brings forth the beautiful plains, home to all; everyone understands this.

At that moment, Zard directly tagged Ice Eye in the group: “Big brother, are you still alive?”

Ice Eye didn’t reply either.

At this time, Qing Chen was still on a cargo ship urging the crew to fish for tuna; there was simply no signal on his phone.

Zard sent a voice message in the group with a crying tone: “My admired Daytime Member has died overseas, I want to go to Europe to find his body and bring it back for burial…”

Huan Yu suddenly said, “Can you dial down the drama a bit?”

Zard: “Alright.”

Actually, Huan Yu instinctively felt something was off.

Because he had bought even more reliable intelligence on the dark web that said the Radiant Trumpet was riddled with dozens of sniper bullet holes.

Many people in Europe saw firearms and didn’t pay much attention, but Huan Yu had fought Daytime several times, so he clearly knew Daytime Boss was there at the scene.

If it was just Qing Chen there, then Capri killing Qing Chen makes sense.

But if the Daytime Boss was also there, why would Capri, a C-Class, manage to kill him?! You have to know, his subordinate Zhang San is also a C-Class Expert, who once led over a hundred men chasing several blocks only to have his people annihilated in a counterattack.

Daytime Boss, murdered by scum like Capri? That would be a joke.

They say, your enemies might understand you best.

This saying applies perfectly to Huan Yu; by now, many believe Qing Chen is dead, only Huan Yu doesn’t.

So, an important point Huan Yu considered was, Daytime Boss and Qing Chen encountering Capri couldn’t have resulted in their deaths, so where did they go?

What role did they play in this affair?

He felt there was more to this case.

Given Daytime’s capacity for creating chaos, if someone told Huan Yu that the big mess in Europe was indeed caused by Daytime, he would believe it.

King of Intruders suddenly said, “I feel like Time Travelers in other regions are more united, all of North America besides the two major Time Traveler organizations has very few ‘individuals.’ But it isn’t like this domestically. If one day North Americans attack us, what would we do?”

Jing Shan suddenly said in the group: “Kunlun is organizing a Time Traveler Federation soon in Zheng City, and invitations will be sent out to all Time Travelers in the chat system soon, everyone is welcome to sign up and join.”

Everyone was stunned by the message, does this mean Kyushu had brokered a deal with Kunlun, agreeing to share this chat system with Kunlun?

It seemed that Kunlun had also realized a problem, regardless of whether they incorporated the Time Travelers into Kunlun, they at least had to first ensure that the Time Travelers had an organizational affiliation.

Otherwise, the domestic Time Travelers’ morale would dissipate.

In a film set somewhere, Jindai Kongyin was sitting in her trailer, taking a brief rest.

However, her assistant suddenly noticed that this overseas actress, who had just returned, had been sitting in place, zoning out for quite a while.

“What’s wrong?” the assistant asked curiously.

Due to Jindai Kongyin’s easygoing nature, the crew members had a very good relationship with her. She never acted superior, never treated her assistant like a slave, and never fought over positions. Such artists were relatively rare in the domestic industry.

Jindai Kongyin looked at He Xiaoxiao’s group chat, observing the conversation records of those individuals before, she suddenly realized, was Ice Eyes actually Qing Chen?!

This realization made her wonder, had he seen all her inquiries about Qing Chen when she had asked about him before?!

Jindai Kongyin’s cheeks flushed with heat, the last time she felt such an awkward reaction was when she realized that Qing Chen might also be a Time Traveler.

Suddenly, she felt that since she had intersected with that young man, she was either on the verge of social death or already walking that path.

Fortunately, no one else knew about it yet.

However, Jindai Kongyin’s main concern was not about her social demise, but whether Qing Chen was still alive.

She thought, could a man who hadn’t been killed by the collapse of Prison 18 die so easily in the Outer World?

She was a bit skeptical, but she couldn’t be sure.

The truth was that Jindai Kongyin and Qing Chen had only met a few times, and nobody took their so-called marriage agreement seriously.

After all, one was presumed dead and the other was a fugitive princess from the Jindai Consortium; their identities were already misplaced, and the previous marriage agreement was thus void.

But somehow, Jindai Kongyin always found herself wanting to check up on that young man, to see if he was doing well, to see what he was up to lately.

She always maintained a strange curiosity about that young man, occasionally thinking back to how convincingly he had acted at Prison 18…

Just then, the film’s assistant director ran up to the trailer, politely said, “Teacher Jindai Kongyin, it’s your turn for the next scene. I’ll arrange for the make-up artist to touch up your make-up, and you’ll need to go through the scene with the male actor.”

Jindai Kongyin glanced at the assistant director and apologetically said, “Can you give me some time? I’ve encountered some issues, and my emotions are quite turbulent. I need to adjust a bit.”

The assistant director paused for a moment, “Of course, no problem.”

This actress was exceptionally skilled in acting and well-versed in details; she never acted superior, so it was okay for the crew to accommodate her request.

…

Countdown 15 days.

The G1938 high-speed train from Haicheng to Los Angeles City had arrived.

This train departed from Haicheng and passed through Zheng City, being one of the main regular services between Zheng City and Los Angeles City.

Sun Chu Ci, accompanied by Tuan Zi and others, disembarked, with everyone discussing what to eat tonight. Tuan Zi, bouncing excitedly, said, “I heard that for the night snacks in Los Angeles City, we should head to Little Street Tianfu; it’s cheap and delicious and a frequent spot for locals here.”

“There’s also Weng Ji’s buns, Guoqiang’s spicy soup, Tie Xie’s lamb soup, Wei’s chicken soup…”

Sun Chu Ci smiled and said, “My cousin Nangong Yuanyu is from Los Angeles City, and he’s already waiting for us outside the station. He’ll lead us there to eat, definitely no mistakes there.”

As he said this, he suddenly caught sight of a figure in front of him which felt oddly familiar.

Curious, Tuan Zi asked, “What’s wrong, saw someone? It’s not that Han Yun also came to Los Angeles City, is it? You’re staring so hard, senior.”

Sun Chu Ci shook his head, puzzled, “I just feel inexplicably familiar…”

Wait.

He had indeed seen that figure before, back in Inner World’s City 10, District 5, at a certain barbecue restaurant where the person had left with dozens of subordinates, leaving a lasting impression on Sun Chu Ci; that’s why he was so sensitive to that figure.

“Hurry, let’s move faster,” Sun Chu Ci urged as he walked forward anxiously, despite that Qing’s bigwig said he was from the Inner World, he still felt he hadn’t mistaken him.

Tuan Zi and others, dragging their suitcases, rushed behind Sun Chu Ci, but the figure ahead moved too swiftly and soon vanished from sight.

Sun Chu Ci stood desolately at the platform, “Forget it, maybe I saw wrong.”

However, when the seven of them exited the station, he was startled to see his cousin Nangong Yuanyu standing at the exit, and beside his cousin was the young man they had once revered in the Inner World.

From afar, he saw the young man speak casually with Nangong Yuanyu before getting into the back seat of a brand-new Maybach.

Behind this Maybach was another identical one.

The two top executive vehicles together looked particularly imposing.

As the vehicles sped away, Nangong Yuanyu also saw Sun Chu Ci and excitedly shouted, “Cousin, you’ve finally arrived in Los Angeles City!”
