Chapter 990: 621, Shadow strikes
“Come on, see if the thing you want is here,” the Shadow said, holding a stack of documents, walking out of the woods, and sitting down by the bonfire.
Ma Jingjing and the others were stunned by this scene.
Although they saw the Shadow going back and forth between the woods and the bonfire, they didn't really think about where he went.
Now the other party was coming back from the Taboo Land, from the wilderness, with a stack of documents as if from thin air. It was as bizarre as can be.
Especially at the top of the stack, there was even an oven manual.
Ma Jingjing looked at Qing Chen: “Boss, why do you need an oven manual? Are you planning to use an oven here? There's no electricity.”
Qing Chen: “…Right, right.”
The Shadow expressionlessly took the top sheet of paper, tore it to pieces, and threw it into the fire: “Look at the rest.”
These materials were all bits and pieces.
Even if it was a complete book, maybe only a few pages were left.
Some originally complete pages might now only have a quarter or a third left.
Qing Chen took the stack of documents and began to look through them bit by bit.
“Fragments of the English version of 'The Golden Lotus,' huh, why is the author Ren He? This is useless.”
“The original text of a breakthrough paper on international stem cell research… also useless, this is already well-established technology.”
“These are hand-copied English lyrics, probably copied by some middle or high school student.”
Qing Chen laughed halfway through: “This is a fake 'artifact,' probably the forger didn't even know what he was writing and just threw some words together. Let me translate it for you, 'My friend's dad is his son's brother, my son is a potato, bananas can write, just a bit slow.' Hahaha, what a mess, and the grammar is wrong too.”
Beside him, the Shadow's face grew darker and darker.
He never expected that the Qing Family's treasured items in their secret vault were just a pile of this useless nonsense.
At this point, Qing Chen pulled out a strange-looking pattern.
Mysterious and eerie.
The Shadow's eyes lit up: “This thing, the Qing's Family experts have never figured out what it's for.”
Qing Chen and Yangyang looked at each other, and Qing Chen hesitated for a long time: “This is a QR code for merchants to use for payments…”
The Shadow: “???”
Qing Chen patiently explained: “In the Inner World, they use multi-dimensional dynamic codes, skipping the QR code stage entirely. So it's normal that you don't know what it's for. It's really too outdated for you.”
Hearing this, the Shadow thought this kid also knows how to comfort people…
At this moment, Qing Chen picked out all the English documents and threw them into the fire.
The rest were in languages he couldn't understand, like French, Spanish, Manchu, etc.
Qing Chen said: “I'll jot these down and translate them back in the Outer World to see what they are.”
Hearing this, the Shadow felt hopeful and suddenly lifted his spirits.
However, Yangyang leaned over and said: “I recognize these, this one is a promotional poster, this is a rubbing of an inscription saying something about ancestor worship and expressing longing, and this is a customs approval document. Why is there also a Thai version of the 'King Forgive Me' novel here…”
Qing Chen looked at Yangyang: “How do you know so many languages?”
Just in that short while, Yangyang had revealed abilities in six languages. Is this a talent?
Yangyang paused: “Ahem, I used to get lost and would live in a place for a while. Actually, language is easy to learn. After living there for two or three months, you'll know it all. Xiao Zhenji is probably the same. After two or three months, he will naturally know Chinese.”
Qing Chen sighed: “You must have gotten lost quite a few times.”
Yangyang swiftly picked and threw all the things the Shadow had just brought into the fire as fuel.
The formidable Qing's shadow was now sitting silently by the bonfire, his expression frozen as he watched the flames dance and flicker.
He had just promised his brother to find something useful, but now he came up empty-handed.
Qing Chen looked at the Shadow and said: “Actually, it's normal not to find anything. I heard the Lee family patriarch spent hundreds of years collecting, and only then found a Buddhist teaching method. I'm just here in the Inner World to try my luck.”
However, the more Qing Chen tried to comfort him, the more the Shadow couldn't take it.
“You all wait here… No, it's getting late. Rest up, I am going out for a bit,” the Shadow said, then went back into the woods.
He can't lose!
He must get what his brother wants!
Basement of Caramel Bar in City 10.
Lao Shen was dozing off in a chair when suddenly the Door of Shadow opened, jolting him awake.
Qing Shen said grumpily: “Why are you back again?”
The Shadow, with a serious face: “Have the spies started acting?”
Lao Shen winced a bit: “Not yet, we're still preparing.”
“Preparing what?” the Shadow asked.
“Preparing an excuse, to have PCA Intelligence Agency at all levels communicate with the black market and have them hand over items,” Lao Shen said. “Otherwise, if you rashly act against the black markets across the entire Federation, what would other financial groups think? How would they speculate about your actions? They might think the Family Head has an illegitimate child who was kidnapped! Moreover, if the spies act rashly, their identities will be exposed.”
The Shadow replied calmly: “Don't worry about all that, do I still have time to fuss over these details? Take action!”
Lao Shen put on his glasses: “Are you serious?”
“Seriously, aside from Su Xingzhi in City 18, make a move on everyone else. No need for the spies to act, let them hide well,” Shadow said, “This is capital to be left for Qing Chen, can't be completely wrecked by me.”
“Huh?” Lao Shen was stunned for a moment, “Then who are you going to use to act?”
Shadow said, “I'll send the Shadow Troop.”
“Hiss!” Lao Shen took a deep breath, “Now, other conglomerates might think our Family Head has been kidnapped!”
Shadow chuckled, “Don't be so tense, I'm just trying to find something.”
On this night, in each city, suddenly the Shadow Troop dressed in black emerged from the safe houses of Qing's Spy Agency scattered across cities.
Shadow used the Door of Shadow to send them team by team to various corners of the Federation.
You could see these B-Class Genetic Warriors from the Shadow Troop, they didn't even bring weapons, just directly charged into the black markets.
The spies had already summarized for Lao Shen all the information like 'who has relics and documents', 'where the business is open', 'whether there are heavy weapons', 'how many people in the family, any children', and Lao Shen passed it to Shadow.
Shadow knew very well, those who deal with black markets must inevitably be covered in blood, what Su Xingzhi does with some principles, there are very few like him in the entire Federation, so he didn't plan to hold back.
Having evidence to catch these people means a sentence of hundreds of years in prison.
So Shadow's purpose tonight was clear: to raid homes…
Fifteen minutes later, the B-Class Shadow Troop soldiers charged into various black markets like child's play.
The combat was flashy and direct, simply overwhelming.
The Shadow Troop also had their own pride, if raiding a few black markets made them whine like children, then they might as well retire to farm.
This small task, why would it need the boss to worry?!
In the black markets, some bosses were knowledgeable, they just needed to see how the Shadow Troop subdued their subordinates to know what kind of power these people had.
One boss, beaten black and blue, with several broken ribs, knelt on the ground and asked, “Guys, what wind blew you here, which Immortals are you? Please stop using divine skills!”
A Shadow Troop soldier asked, “Where are the mysterious documents you've previously shown?”
The boss kneeling on the ground lamented, “Just say what you want, if you speak, I'll give it to you. Look at how you've beaten me.”
“Enough of your bullshit,” Shadow Troop soldier said, “Hurry up.”
With only half an hour, the Shadow Troop wrapped up.
Shadow smiled as he took them back to the base one by one, then received the documents they raided: “Thanks for your hard work, there will be bonuses at the end of the month.”
The Shadow Troop soldiers felt a bit embarrassed: “Boss, no need, this small task was handled in minutes, not worthy of a bonus.”
“It's okay, I'm in a good mood,” Shadow said.
At this moment, the actions of the Shadow Troop had alarmed many forces.
This operation had several characteristics: high average power, actions across cities, all the Federation's black markets suffered major blows.
In such a matter, if a conglomerate thoroughly planned, they could achieve it.
But the one who could pull off such an event silently and suddenly was none other than Shadow.
The Shadow Troop, coordinated with the Door of Shadow, could be so valiant.
The Shadow Troop made their debut when rescuing Uncle Li Dong's friend Cheng Xiao, before that, no one even knew Shadow silently and quietly trained such an elite force.
After the debut of this Shadow Troop, all conglomerates began to pull together forces to build a similar troop, like an arms race.
But temporary preparations, how can they match the years Shadow spent planning?
Moreover, only Qing's Family had such concentrated power, to accomplish this quietly.
Initially, everyone was puzzled, Shadow trained this troop, yet hardly used them, his tenure was almost up, holding power but not using it, was it left for the next Shadow?!
That seemed very strange.
Now, with the Shadow Troop making moves again, suddenly all the forces sensed something amiss.
Rising doubts in everyone's minds.
“Why attack black markets?”
“What's in the black markets?”
“What exactly does Shadow want to do?”
All forces sent people to ask what the Shadow Troop did in the black markets.
Upon learning that Shadow was looking for materials left by previous civilizations, they instantly felt these materials probably contained major secrets.
Everyone started moving, some forces immediately transferred their documents to safe houses.
Some forces offered sky-high rewards for purchasing documents.
Some even plowed through the black markets again.
Many black market bosses abandoned their homes, drove off-road vehicles, left their cities into the wilderness overnight.
The Federation had dealt with black markets countless times, yet none as ruthless and effective as Shadow's move.
The Qing's shadow is a figure who can make the entire Federation tremble with a mere gesture.
At this moment, the sleeping Qing Chen was still unaware of how much had happened overnight…
He also didn't know how his one wish led to many sleepless tonight.
