If Huan Yu was from Qing's Family, then he would not have been able to mobilize so many Time Travelers.
"Time Travelers from the Jindai family, the Dear Island family, the Li Family, and the Chen Clan are all making moves in the Outer World. Why is there no activity from Qing's Family?" Qing Chen asked.
"Do you think I would tell you?" Qing's shadow said with a smile, "Are you interested in the Time Travelers of Qing's Family? How about this, if you agree to go to the Spy Bureau, on the very day you report there, I will first hand over the Freemasonry to you. This trade should be quite beneficial, shouldn't it?"
This time, Qing's shadow's trade finally included a substantial promise, instead of just empty promises.
It should be noted that the Freemasonry is an organization composed of high-intelligence Time Travelers. The potential of such an organization is immense; if utilized properly, it could produce extraordinary effects.
"I will think about it," Qing Chen still gave the same response.
The shadow raised its eyebrows, "It's really hard to pull you into the game, isn't it?"
Qing Chen suddenly said, "I need to consider when to go report to the Spy Bureau."
The shadow smiled, stood up, and said, "Once you're in the game, thinking about quitting won't be up to you anymore."
Having said that, he turned and walked toward the forest behind the cliff, as if that had been his only purpose for coming here.
Halfway there, the shadow looked back and said, "I should remind you that the reverse traversal plan of the Jindai family and Dear Island family is not as simple as what you see now. You should know they have already completed the first trial of neuronal usurpation, and there will definitely be new attempts in the future. They have many more Time Travelers at their disposal than we do, and as far as I know, they also have masters hidden within your Outer World."
"Thank you for the reminder," Qing Chen nodded.
Qing's shadow walked into the forest, raised his hand to open the Door of Shadow, stepped in, and disappeared.
Qing Chen thought that the condition to open the Door of Shadow must require being in the shadows; otherwise, there would be no need for the other party to go back into the forest.
Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke returned once the shadow had left, "Master, who was that person just now?"
Qing Chen shook his head, "It's not yet time to tell you."
"So, where are we going now?" Hu Xiaoniu asked.
"To rescue the members of the Freemasonry," Qing Chen said.
"Ah? Why would we rescue them?" Li Ke was puzzled, "We aren't even close to them."
Qing Chen did not explain. This was part of his deal with Qing's shadow, so he could not afford to let the Freemasonry suffer too many losses.
This was his property after all!
Countdown to reversion 4:00:00.
Taboo Land, site number 002, at 8 PM.
The junction between the hinterland and periphery.
Guo Huchan was leaning against a twisted tree root, watching the Freemasonry members beside him.
Although the Freemasonry members were exhausted, they did not complain and encouraged each other, even managing to maintain an optimistic spirit.
He whispered to Yan Yan, who was meditating beside him, "These Time Travelers are of quite high quality, and it seems none of them need to be persuaded to return."
"Yes," Yan Yan opened her eyes, "These are the top students from city number 18 corresponding to the Outer World. They are intelligent, courageous, optimistic, and have strong learning abilities. Having such a team enter our town for reconstruction can help it grow rapidly."
For Spade, although they openly welcomed everyone, how could they not screen the personnel from the Freemasonry?
Even without the pursuit of the Federal Group army, they would later find excuses to have the students abandon their transport and embark on a 200-kilometer trek on foot as a form of evaluation.
However, there was just one concern. This was a person arranged by Qing's shadow, and although he showed significant goodwill, Spade still needed to confirm the influence of Qing's shadow over the Freemasonry.
"In the Outer World, are there many such student organizations?" Guo Huchan asked.
"There are, but not many," Yan Yan thought for a moment and answered, "For example, there is one in Haicheng, corresponding to city number 7, and I am also a member. Jingcheng seems to have one led by a chosen one, but I have never been able to ascertain who this leader is; the person is very mysterious."
"Students generally have much enthusiasm and are not tainted by worldly influences. The more such organizations Spade contacts, the better, and that's on you, Yan Yan," Guo Huchan said.
"It's not a hardship," Yan Yan said with a smile, "This is also something I want to do."
At that moment, Big Bald whispered, "You and that Qing Zade…"
Yan Yan, surprised, replied, "You're so tall and strong; does being so gossipy suit your image?"
Guo Huchan was a bit embarrassed, "Who isn't a bit gossipy…"
Yan Yan stood up and said, "Let's go, the Federal Group army is approaching again, we need to keep moving fast."
Having said that, she waved to the Freemasonry members to get up and follow.
The Freemasonry members did not hesitate, and although completely exhausted, they encouraged each other and set off again.
The team moved quickly, and the Federal Group army was also fast in pursuit.
However, the Federal Group army did not seem eager to attack, as if they wanted to wear down the Freemasonry and Spade until they were exhausted.
This was classic hunting behavior, typical of a group of experienced hunters.
Guo Huchan muttered, "Yan Yan, it would be great if your sensory range was a bit larger, so we could avoid them earlier."
