"Want some candy?"

“…Thank you, no thanks.”

"oh."

Qin Jinnian refused, and the girl responded, a little disappointed, but she opened the package herself and put the lollipop into her mouth.

Then there was a prolonged silence.

I don’t know how long it was before the elevator dinged and a purple-haired woman walked out.

She looked thoughtful, and only came to her senses when the elevator opened. She then let out a breath and walked out.

Then his eyes looked at Qin Jinnian.

Qin Jinnian also looked at her, looking a little nervous and wary...

'Zhang San' is the ability obtained after 'Shadow Body' reaches level 2.

Although it is not shown on the panel.

But just like the shadow, he used it naturally.

He can split out a clone that is exactly the same as himself.

The clone has the same abilities as the original... but all abilities are halved in effectiveness.

For example, the current maximum range of the original body's shadow control is 500 meters, while the clone can only reach 250 meters.

The shadow's strength and everything are not as good as the original.

Nature also includes vitality and spiritual power.

But fortunately, Qin Jinnian himself is not a super warrior, and he mainly relies on shadow superpowers to fight the enemy. Now that the shadow superpower has reached level 2, even if the effect is halved, it is much stronger than that day in the black market... The strength of vitality is not a big problem.

The existence time of the clone depends on his mental strength. With his current mental strength of 350 points, the clone can exist for 350 minutes at a time... which is more than five hours, but less than six hours.

As for the distance between the 'clone' and the original body, there seems to be no limit... at least Qin Jinnian has not discovered it yet.

He had just upgraded yesterday and he used his clone once, and then let the clone go away from the original body to test the maximum distance between them.

In the last hour or so, the clones all reached the edge of the city, but there were no restrictions... They only naturally dissipated after the time was up.

The clone did not have its own wisdom, and shared the same consciousness with the original... At first, Qin Jinnian was not used to the sudden change of his mind into two visions. But later, as he controlled the clone to rush far away, he became more and more proficient.

...In fact, it feels like he is playing a game. Two pictures appear in front of his eyes. With a thought, he can switch the main perspective instantly... It is very convenient.

In fact, as soon as the clone appeared, many thoughts appeared in Qin Jinnian's mind.

But unfortunately, before he could put it into action, the night watchman came and read his mind without saying a word, resulting in his exposure.

There is no other choice but to use this method as a temporary solution.

"Luckily, I awakened my shadow body yesterday, otherwise I would have been completely exposed this time, with no room for easing up."

Qin Jinnian thought in his heart.

Qin Jinnian can actually accept the current situation...it's in between being exposed and not exposed.

If you think about it more carefully... this might be better than hiding it completely...

He had been completely hidden before, which made him feel a little restrained in doing anything because he had to be careful all the time not to expose himself.

But now, this alternative way of hiding has allowed him to be more flexible.

His thoughts were racing.

The purple-haired woman's voice sounded: "Can you tell me about your brother Zhang?"

Qin Jinnian came back to his senses, pursed his lips, exhaled lightly, and responded with his head tilted as he had created for himself: "What is there to say? You have already guessed it, right?"

Just like a little kid who refuses to cooperate and is throwing a tantrum.

The purple-haired woman frowned, then asked, "You know nothing about the other party's identity?"

"I know nothing." Qin Jinnian still tilted his head, uncooperative.

The sudden silence made the girl next to him a little nervous. She ate her lollipop while observing secretly, not daring to speak.

After a long while...

“Tata.”

The purple-haired woman greeted.

"Ah, Sister Tong."

"Let's go."

"Huh?"

After saying this, the purple-haired woman turned and walked towards the elevator.

Tata was a little confused, but he quickly responded and followed. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Jinnian.

Qin Jinnian also looked up with some surprise.

The purple-haired woman walked to the elevator and suddenly paused, then took out a business card from her pocket. The business card floated quietly and finally landed in front of Qin Jinnian, where it hovered.

Qin Jinnian was a little dazed, hesitated for a moment, and took the business card.

"This is my phone number, and it's also my social account. Please add it later... Since your brother Zhang has chosen you as their liaison between us Night Watchmen, I have to be able to contact you at any time."

After saying this, the purple-haired woman paused for a moment before continuing, "He saved your life, so I understand why you want to be closer to him. But this person's actions are shady, and there seems to be a larger secret organization behind him. What their purpose is... no one knows."

"But anyway..."

Having said this, the purple-haired woman turned around and looked at Qin Jinnian, "I hope you can always remember one thing... you are a human being."

After saying this without thinking, the purple-haired woman walked into the elevator. After a moment of hesitation, Tata also hurriedly walked in.

The elevator door closed and they left...

Qin Jinnian stood at the door in a daze for a while, finally let out a breath and looked at the business card in his hand.

Just a name and a phone number.

"Jiang Yetong..."

…

"Sister Tong, are we just leaving like this? ...Didn't you catch that Zhang San?"

In the elevator, Tata asked.

Sister Tong came back to her senses from her contemplation, and then shook her head. She did not explain anything, but asked: "After we left, did you try to continue reading Qin Jinnian's mind?"

"Ah?" Tata was stunned by the question, "Do you want to continue reading my mind? I don't..."

Hearing this answer, Sister Tong frowned slightly. After thinking about it for a while, she let out a sigh and said, "Forget it."

"At present, it seems that Zhang San thinks highly of Qin Jinnian, but Qin Jinnian doesn't know much about Zhang San, so Qin Jinnian won't gain much from reading Zhang San's mind."

"Is that so..." Tata muttered, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "But why can Qin Jinnian resist my mind reading?"

Sister Tong seemed to have the answer to this question: "Zhang San should have been there when you were reading his mind... He should have been carrying some kind of abyssal spiritual weapon that blocked super powers such as mind reading and soul shock."

Tata's eyes widened, "Is that so?..."

Sister Tong nodded and said nothing more.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, let's go to the bureau first. We need to inform Director Qin about Zhang San's matter... These are troubled times."

Tata didn't quite understand, but nodded anyway.

The two took the elevator downstairs and returned to the Night Watch headquarters...
