Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 476 Family Members

No one can survive after being shot through the neck by a sniper bullet.

Not even A-Class experts.

Qing Chen walked through the corridor, his face illuminated by the passing tritium lamps, and then he stepped back into darkness.

At that moment, he even put away his Black Sniper ”Moral Persuasion,” confident that there were no other living people in the corridor besides himself.

The Puppeteer on his wrist danced, and wherever Qing Chen passed, corpses and bloodstains vanished without a trace.

When Qing Chen sacrificed the last B-Class Expertʼs body, the Puppeteerʼs threads dyed red from the blood grew visibly at an alarming rate.

The second thread grew fifteen meters in a single burst.

Qing Chen contemplated, a B-Class could add fifteen meters, what about an A-Class then? Could it fully form the second thread?

But, A-Class were not so easy to kill.

It was already a great fortune to have killed a B-Class tonight, taking advantage of the geographical situation. To even fantasize about killing an A-Class was overly ambitious.

Moreover, without the Heartless Bronze Bell, he wouldnʼt have been able to grasp the timing of the fight so well.

Qing Chen recalled the Heartless Bronze Bell hanging eave on his corner, and with his memory, he knew it wasnʼt the same one as before.

Even the way it was tied was different.

Perhaps it was switched by someone when he was keeping the old man company by Dragon Lake.

It seemed that the person only intended to play a small prank on him, not intending for him to be ʼplayedʼ to death.

Considering this, he would not blame the old man tomorrow.

Qing Chen thought it over again and again; he felt that with all the B-Class dead here, whether it was Jindai or whoever from Deer Island, they would probably suspect this place to be a trap.

There shouldnʼt be anyone else coming.

Thus, it was time to deal with Luo Wanyaʼs issue.

Qing Chen hadnʼt saved Luo Wanya previously because he wanted to assess the capabilities of General Luo, a renowned figure in Los Angeles City, allowing the bullet to ”fly” for a while.

Truth be told, he hadnʼt expected the bullet to ”fly” for three days, which was indeed a bit too long…

He wondered whether General Luo could withstand it.

However, saving Luo Wanya couldnʼt happen today; he had already used up his peak condition earlier.

Qing Chen needed to replenish his energy.

He turned and walked back down the corridor.

As Qing Chen returned to Autumn Leaf Courtyard, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

Unbeknownst to him, there was an additional person in the room.

There lay Li Changqing, with her long black hair, wearing black leather and sleeping on Qing Chenʼs bed, her face looking weary and not as radiant as usual.

The womanʼs eyelashes fluttered slightly, obviously pretending to sleep.

Qing Chen looked at the table where his ʼNo Visitorsʼ sign engraved with those very words was tossed aside by Li Changqing.

He was somewhat amused. This strong-willed woman didnʼt make any sense. He had just established some rules for the Li Family, but it seemed they were useless in front of Li Changqing.

At this moment, Li Changqing heard the noise and slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Qing Chen not far away and chuckled lightly, ”Back already?”

”Yes,” Qing Chen nodded and casually asked, ”Did you sleep well?”

Li Changqing also nodded, ”Your bed smells really good, it knocked me right out. Iʼve recently been suffering from severe insomnia. Maybe I should just move in here?”

Qing Chen calmly responded, ”If you find it smells good, you can take the blanket with you. Iʼll have Li Ke send a new set tomorrow.”

”Boring,” Li Changqing lay across the bed, propping up her head with her arm, curiously studying Qing Chen, ”I thought I faintly heard gunshots earlier, must have been you killing someone in the secret passage, right? But how come you look as if nothingʼs happened, were the assassins weak?”

”Did you know about this hidden passage?” Qing Chen asked, avoiding mentioning that among the assassins, there were B-Class.

”I just found out today,” Li Changqing smiled, ”The old man told me. He asked me to keep watch outside the Microcosm Community to see if there was a chance to follow the vine to the melon, and pull out some people. But donʼt worry, although my people are guarding outside the Microcosm Community, they donʼt know thereʼs a secret passage inside. By the way, are all the assassins in the passage dead? I was hoping to keep some for interrogation.”

Qing Chen frowned, ”If you had told me earlier, I could have left some alive.”

”No worries,” Li Changqing got up, sat cross-legged on Qing Chenʼs bed, and smiled, ”Dead or alive doesnʼt matter, as long as you are fine.”

Qing Chen suddenly realized that this womanʼs presence in Autumn Leaf Courtyard late at night wasnʼt accidental, nor was it to cure her insomnia here.

She knew the assassins might act tonight, so she specifically came to protect him at Autumn Leaf Courtyard!

Only, upon seeing that Qing Chen was safe, she didnʼt intervene!

It had to be said, Li Changqing really did care about him a lot, from sending Genetic Potions to coming here in the middle of the night to ensure his safety. Though Qing Chen didnʼt voice it, he was keeping it in his heart.

Nevertheless, Qing Chen pointed at the ʼNo Visitorsʼ wooden sign on the table, ”You can understand the two characters on it, right?”

Li Changqing feigned annoyance, ”Hey, I was the one who brought you into the semi-mountain mansion, and Iʼve been so good to you. Donʼt I deserve a little privilege? Donʼt you have a conscience! Do you know it was me who personally tied the Heartless Bronze Bell on your eave!”

Qing Chen was taken aback, so thatʼs how it was.

”Of course, you can have a privilege,” Qing Chen sighed, ”But at least hang the ʼNo Visitorsʼ sign back on the door. What if someone else comes to visit?”
