Chapter 976: 612, The Legacy of the Wizard
The sky won’t drop pies for free, the greater the hidden cost of free things.
So, accepting the Eye of Truth is equivalent to joining the Observer organization.
For others, they might think something as good as the Eye of Truth could be taken without any obligations, just taking it without doing anything in return.
But Qing Chen is not that kind of person.
Zheng Yuandong didn’t force it either, he smiled and said, “No rush, take your time.”
Qing Chen turned around and left the group, taking out his phone immediately, intending to post the location of the Time Traveler’s Academy on Weibo.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t type even the first letter.
He then tried to post “Chen Sui is the dumbest person in the Time Traveler’s Academy” on Weibo, but couldn’t type it either.
“Huh, is it so magical that even the truth can’t be said?” Qing Chen wondered.
This secrecy spell, even someone as top-ranked as Qing Chen as a Time Traveler, couldn’t resist it!
It seems the true strength of Boss Zheng far exceeds imagination.
Boss Zheng’s exact words were “as long as you don’t surpass me”, this precondition of “surpassing” is very interesting, if you nitpick, Boss Zheng is A-Class, then to break the secrecy spell, one must be a demigod.
Out of the sixty thousand in the Time Traveler’s Academy, how many can become demigods?
Qing Chen pondered, he had yet to see Boss Zheng use any extremely powerful witchcraft, but the auxiliary role of this witchcraft was unmatched by any other inheritance.
Extremely mysterious.
At this time, Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou also stepped forward, heading to the elementary and junior high sections to cast the ‘secrecy spell’ on the students.
According to Qing Chen, among the elementary and junior high students, except for prodigies like Li Tongyun, it’s difficult for anyone to surpass their level in a short time.
Currently, letting Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou help with spellcasting is just a temporary measure to save time.
Once this busy period is over, Boss Zheng will still go around casting the stronger secrecy spell on the students one by one.
Qing Chen was previously wondering, since Kunlun gathered all the Time Travelers together, overseas forces would certainly try to find here and wipe them all out in one go.
Using time zones to calculate the location of Whale Island isn’t hard, if there’s an insider, the entire Whale Island might be doomed together.
While correcting the students’ conduct is urgent, all the Time Traveler students dying together is a clearly more serious consequence.
Now it seems, Kunlun had a method to deal with it, which is why they gathered everyone together.
As such, all secrets will no longer be leaked.
At this time, Zheng Yuandong saw more and more students completed the secrecy spell, and the group became a bit scattered.
He stopped casting spells, and instead, on the square in front of the dormitory, using the Black Eye of Truth as a pen, he engraved a few circles of strange symbols on the ground.
The Black Eye of Truth left black marks where it scratched, like chalk.
Qing Chen took a careful look at the stone, but didn’t see any wear on the Eye of Truth.
Everyone quietly watched Principal Zheng Yuandong draw symbols.
The first circle of symbols was based on Chinese, arranged with thirty-six ‘门’ (door) characters.
The second circle of symbols was based on Oracle bone script; Qing Chen, knowledgeable, knew it was still thirty-six ‘门’ characters.
The third circle of symbols, Qing Chen didn’t recognize at all.
The fourth circle of symbols looked like birds, as if a flock of black birds were circling the entire symbol array, elegant and unrestrained.
When the fourth circle of symbols was completed, the rings of symbols began to rotate at different speeds.
Like the world’s safest vault being unlocked layer by layer.
In an instant, the symbols outside the fourth circle seemed to come alive, spreading their wings and flying up from the ground.
Thirty-six black birds circled the sky, with a diameter of five meters, chasing each other.
The next moment, a huge rainbow door appeared, with a beam of star-like light pulsating between the rainbow door.
Zheng Yuandong stood up and smiled, “Almost forgot to build an Anywhere Door on the square. Students who completed the secrecy spell can return to their dorm door through this door by silently thinking of the dorm number they want to go to. This door will always be here; I’ll rebuild it once a year, as a convenience for everyone so they can walk less.”
Qing Chen silently observed this scene, looking at that rainbow door.
His heart suddenly heated up.
The wizard legacy, until now, hadn’t shown any powerful lethality, but in terms of functionality comparison, no inheritance in the Inner World could compare to the wizard legacy.
A student suddenly asked, “Principal, what is this ability?”
Zheng Yuandong smiled and said, “Wizard legacy. One of the founding members of the Federation, Ren Xiaosu, once traveled to the western region of the Inner World where he befriended a group of wizards. In the final battle of the intelligent machinery crisis, those wizards, due to their friendship with Ren Xiaosu, came to help the humans of the Central Plains and left behind some wizard legacy secrets. Eventually, Ren Xiaosu gifted all this to Hope Media.”
Because of the secrecy spell, when mentioning some things, Zheng Yuandong didn’t hold back.
However, as he spoke, he would occasionally glance over at Qing Chen.
At a certain moment, Qing Chen suddenly suspected that Zheng Yuandong was doing all this to attract him to join the Observer organization.
Or rather, to attract a certain group among the crowd to join the Observer organization.
After all, it had been a while since Kunlun built Whale Island, and their school plan should have been on the agenda since the Time Walker Conference.
So, Zheng Yuandong could have built this Anywhere Door a long time ago, but he chose to wait until today.
This is about showing off muscle with mysticism!
Zheng Yuandong smiled, “Actually, back then, there were many books in the wizard legacy, all written in English. The people of the Inside World Federation couldn’t understand it, so this legacy wasn’t prominent in the Inner World. Until… the appearance of Time Travelers.”
“`
Qing Chen understood.
The research books left by the wizard were like the mantras written in Tibetan script; for a long time, no one in the Inner World could fully translate them, and then they were taken advantage of by the Time Travelers.
To say this wizard was cunning would be an understatement; knowing full well that the people of the Inner World couldn’t understand, he left behind a bunch of English books?
They probably didn’t foresee that a whole bunch of Time Travelers would appear, who started learning English from elementary school. The Time Travelers were almost sick of learning it!
Zheng Yuandong continued, “The Observer organization still suspects that the wizard legacy is still out there, and that Time Travelers have appeared—just that no one knows where they are. They operate quite discreetly and possess the art of forgetting, so no Time Travelers in the Outer World have been exposed in connection with them yet.”
As he pondered, Qing Chen unintentionally spotted a girl and was stunned. The girl was walking slowly towards Chen Sui in the line: “Hey! Chen Sui!”
Chen Sui was taken aback: “Hello… who might you be?”
The girl covered her mouth and laughed, “You’re really forgetful with important people, aren’t you? Well, you’re a big shot, you naturally wouldn’t remember a small person like me. I’m a friend of that actress Qiao Yu. I followed her when she went to City 22 to see Jindai Yunlo. That night Qiao Yu offered 2 million to buy your first night and was refused by you—I was there that night too!”
Chen Sui: “…What is all this?!”
The whole line went into an uproar.
“What?! 2 million for the first night?”
“That famous Federation actress?”
“I’m so jealous of Chen Sui.”
Chen Sui: “???”
Qing Chen was equally shocked on the sidelines. At the time, this girl was well-disguised and didn’t reveal a single hint of being a Time Traveler.
But the girl continued telling Chen Sui, “You seem to have a very good relationship with Jindai Yunlo. I heard from Qiao Yu that he’s one of the rare geniuses of the Jindai family, progressing very swiftly in his cultivation. He used to be the famous young master of City 10. I never thought there would be someone as significant as you among the Time Travelers, who knows Jindai Yunlo!”
Chen Sui was bewildered, although he was very clear that this girl had mistaken him for someone else, the way she exaggerated it almost made him want to take on this identity!
At this moment, Chen Sui also felt something wasn’t quite right, so he quietly asked, “I have a mole above my eyebrow, are you sure you haven’t mistaken me?”
The girl replied, “Absolutely not, I remember that mole!”
Chen Sui gritted his teeth and muttered, “Daylight!”
This guy had suspected for a long time that there was really someone in this world who looked exactly like him. He even wanted to go back and ask his mother if he had a twin brother.
But now it was different. Two people might look alike, but it’s impossible to have moles in the exact same spot.
And in this world, who has the ability to change faces? Who has the nickname of the Thousand-faced God?
Isn’t it Qing Chen, the Master of Daytime?!
The nickname of the Thousand-faced God doesn’t sound like anything good, only villains have titles like that!
Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, murmuring about Dorm B313, and stepped into the random door.
In just a moment, he was at the entrance of his dorm.
“Truly amazing,” Qing Chen exclaimed.
Back in the dorm, Qing Chen saw Chen Sui slam the door shut with a bang, and only then did he say viciously, “I’m irreconcilable with Daylight!”
The guy didn’t dare shout it outside; he held it in and only dared to say it after returning to the dorm.
But objectively speaking, Chen Sui is a tough guy.
He held it in for a long time, not spouting harsh words to anyone, but insisting he had to declare war on the Master of Daytime face-to-face.
At this time, Tang Wei timidly said, “Boss, let’s not talk about how you chased Yang Yang in the past. It’s quite normal for Qing Chen to want revenge when you took advantage of Daylight’s trouble to undermine him. Actually, this level of revenge is already mild. With his ability, he could easily have the entire Jindai Consortium hunting you down…”
This guy clearly understood that provoking Daylight would undoubtedly bring even greater disaster.
Back in City 22, Qing Chen used the face of Zard to kill. If it had been a face like Chen Sui’s, the entire Matrix organization likely wouldn’t exist now.
Qing Chen wasn’t lenient out of kindness; their hatred was a Time Traveler’s internal grudge, and Chen Sui hardly deserved death—not worth using Jindai’s resources to solve.
Qing Chen was still quite clear-headed.
Then, Chen Sui said to Tang Wei, “What you say is true, but Qing Chen labeled me as the ‘most reserved top male escort,’ which cannot be forgiven. Even if it’s not an open revenge, I must secretly do something!”
Actually, Qing Chen wanted to ask Tang Wei if Chen Sui always had this much courage.
…
…
At night, Jinguji Maki, who was nestled in Li Tongyun’s arms, suddenly sat up.
It was as if she heard a warm call again.
Xiao Zhenji tugged Li Tongyun’s small hand, then quietly ran outside the dormitory.
Li Tongyun sat up drowsily, lifted the quilt while wearing pajamas, and whispered, “Where are you going?”
However, Xiao Zhenji didn’t answer.
Li Tongyun quickly followed her out.
Jiang Xue was still sound asleep, unaware of what happened.
