In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution. It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion. Steel and flesh, past and future. In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach. The darkness is slowly creeping in. But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness. Gotta use fire.
What if a person is utterly apathetic towards something?
Then find someone to stir things up inside, spiral their mindset out of control, and they won't be apathetic any longer.
Qing Yi originally came to City 18 with a nonchalant, just-passing-through attitude.
Unlike other Shadow Candidates who needed to strenuously look for the third-generation allies of the Li Family, due to his blood relations, he moved directly into the hillside manor.
In the second round of the struggle for Shadow, he didn't need to be particularly aggressive; he just needed to survive until the next round, during which other contestants naturally would fight each other, depleting their own strength.
Compared to the students at Li's School, he had already begun participating in the most crucial power transition within the Qing Family, possessing many times the strength of those naive children in the school.
Thus, Qing Yi's mental state remained quite calm.
That is, until he met Qing Chen.
