The countdown he: 00.

Qing dust as usual out of the alloy gate, he saw the prisoners on the corridor with strange eyes looking at yourself, seems to be very surprised after five days to reappear.

This time, however, he didn't walk through the corridors. Instead, he just stood there.

Wait for the prison announcement, then follow the procession down to dinner.

The prisoners immediately believed the rumors of the previous days: that the teenager had angered Li And had been locked in a dark room for several days, including some torture.

As a result, the teenager has now lost his privileges at 18.

However, the prisoners still dare not easily provoke him, because Li Shutong can offend Qing shi, but they can not.

At dinner, Lu Guangyi and Qing Chen sat away from Li Shutong.

Qing Chen bowed his head and ate his meal, chewing carefully to make sure the food was chewed up before swallowing.

He's got a delicate stomach right now. He needs attention.

In the process of eating, qing Dust did not say a word, in addition to silence will only remain silent.

His side and Li Shutong's side were very distinct.

As if a few days ago or friends, today has become strangers.

The prisoners whisper, gossip this exactly how to return a responsibility, difficult way Li Shutong and qing shi make break off?

Everybody guesses again, what is the taboo that Li Shutong guards after all, be worth the other side so vigilance and irascible.

At this moment, only Guo Huchan also careless of a pair of appearance.

He carried the dinner plate to sit beside the qing dust, cheerfully said: "How did you offend Li Shutong, was he tortured into such?"

Qing Chen looked up at him: "Sit on my side, aren't you afraid of offending Li Shutong?"

Guo Huchan hun don't care to say: "I even spades consortium is not afraid, but also afraid of Li Shutong?"

"Then what do you want with me?" Qing dust seems to guo Huchan this mouth running trains, promiscuous strong man is not very interested in, so chat time did not see each other.

"I am different from others. Others may value the gyeong family behind you, but I am different. I value your ability!" "I'm serious," Guo said. "I want to invite people like you."

"Not interested," Qing Chen said calmly and got up. He threw lu guangyi the dinner plate to wash and headed for the reading area alone.

After taking two steps, he seemed to lose his strength and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held himself up in time to save himself from embarrassment.

Qing Chen got up and walked on.

Unconsciously, he did not know when to catch up with two prisoners behind him, are carelessly approaching him.

However, in the next moment, the front was also weak qing dust, suddenly turned back to look at two people.

Young eyes clear but particularly oppressive sense, like two people see through the same.

The two prisoners stared for a moment. They looked at each other as if they had made up their minds. In a split second, each took a sharpened toothbrush handle from his waistband and rushed toward Qingchen.

Qing Chen's eyes, the two mechanical legs, hydraulic drive shaft suddenly force, he can even see steam from each other's steel limbs jet.

That is not the physical reaction of the mechanical body, but do not know where the mechanical structure of the mechanical body squeezed the air, the water in the air instantly gasification!

But just as they leapt to their feet, they closed their eyes and fainted.

Qingchen stood on the side of the body, allowing the two men to pass him, flew behind him, and rolled on the ground more than a dozen times before finally stopping.

Two people failed to stand up again, their consciousness has been Lin Xiaoxiao's nightmare.

Qing Chen squatted beside them to observe, Lu Guangyi came to break their mouth with a mechanical arm, and forcibly broke off the two back teeth.

The prisoners froze. No one saw what was happening. It happened so fast.

They do not know why the two prisoners attacked Qingchen or how they fell.

Lu Guangyi will be a rear teeth pinch in the hand to qing dust, it is clearly a silver poison sac.

This moment qing dust understand, before the death of the three dead is not to find Li Shutong, each other's goal... Is his own.

Today's two victims came in five days ago, together with Jian Sheng from Chuanzhou.

All attention was on Jian, but even in the chaos of the moment, Qingchen noticed something strange about the two men.

At first he did not care, but in the dark room on the fourth day, the more lonely qingchen is more sober, so that all the strange things have happened in his mind over again.

So he gave him a chance, a chance to be alone and weak.

To determine who the dead were after.

If these two don't do it, he'll find these two, and if these two do it, the answer will be immediately clear.

Do the timing. The first dead came in with him.

So, actually when his first day through when someone wants to kill him, if he is not the first time to find Li Shutong, let the other side of the heart have fear, he had died.

It seems that the dead soldier who came in behind got the order to die, even if he had to kill himself, he was so urgent.

Who's trying to kill him, the other shadow candidates.

Qingchen can't be sure, but that's the most likely answer.

The shadow wars, it seems, are more dangerous than they seem.

The shadow of the qing family foundation who specializes in doing dirty things is naturally unscrupulous, and those who dare to exclude dissenters deserve to be shadows.

This nine-man race in the dark, from the very beginning, is not a competition of who can perform the task better, but who is more vicious and decisive.

At this time, four mechanical guards ran uniformly over.

However, they did not go to trouble qing Chen, but directly carried the two dead men out.

Qing Chen knew they would face extremely harsh interrogation and punishment because he had just experienced it.

"What now, boss?" Lu asked broadly.

"Wait for them to speak," Qing Chen said, glancing at Lin across the air before heading toward the reading area.

...

At night, the 18th prison was quiet again.

While qing dust lying on the bed board to think about things, his prison cell alloy gates have opened their own.

He was not surprised, but quietly went out, Li Shutong, Ye Evening, Lin Xiaoxiao has been waiting for him in the fitness area downstairs.

This is agreed, Li Shutong to teach him things can not be known by others, but after 9 o 'clock all prisoners must be forced back to the cell, which gave Qing Dust enough time to learn... How to be a transcendent.

Lee looked at Gyeongcheon in front of him and asked, Do you have any questions? Take care of something else before you study."

"Who's trying to kill me? Qing Chen asked.

"Not yet," said Lin Xiaoxiao, who was standing nearby. "These two are hard. They can bite their teeth in nightmares. They were in for a real crime, no one arranged it, so there's nothing there. The mechanical parts seem to have been replaced in order not to find out where they were sold or produced. But rest assured, give me seven days, I will give you an explanation."

"Thank you," Qing Chen nodded.

Li Shutong thought for a while and said: "It is always the younger generation of the qing family, want to fight for the position of the shadow, the danger is the only way, this you have to be prepared psychologically."

"Why all the fight for the shadow's place?" Qing Chen did not understand: "Even if it is a near death also at all?"

Lee chuckled and said, I don t know from which generation gyeonggi set the rules, and only those who have been shadows can be masters.
