Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 536 338. Person knocking on the door at midnight

In the wilderness of Kyushu, the members had left, and the tank truck sat isolated in the forest.

He Jinqiu sat on top of the tank truck, his neat tie loosened, no longer appearing so refined and meticulous.

Footsteps sounded from outside the forest, and Zheng Yuandong slowly approached, ”Your people have withdrawn. Why are you still here?”

He Jinqiu smiled, ”Waiting for you, old squad leader. I knew you must have some questions for me.”

Zheng Yuandong looked up at the young man sitting on the tank truck, noticing some white hair at his temples.

He remembered how vibrant and optimistically spirited this young man was when he first joined the squad.

He used to follow him around and call him squad leader.

Squad leader here, squad leader there, like a shadow.

Now, the other man was a significant expert with his own goals and ambitions, his own organization and power, even white hair at his temples.

The He Jinqiu of the past was no longer the same.

The He Jinqiu of the past used to trust others.

The He Jinqiu of today needed to use the taboo item ”Gold Coin” to distinguish between lies and truth.

It seemed everything had changed.

”Did you make a deal with the Inner World consortium,” Zheng Yuandong asked.

”Yes,” He Jinqiu nodded. ”This time I made a deal with the Li Family to help them prevent Jindai and Kashimaʼs plan.”

”What about the imposters?” Zheng Yuandong asked.

He Jinqiu calmly said, ”Killed them.”

Zheng Yuandong was silent.

”Do you think I was wrong to kill them? Of course, I know you definitely couldnʼt bring yourself to do it. You can criticize me, I wonʼt talk back this time,” He Jinqiu said.

Zheng Yuandong shook his head, ”Iʼm not in a position to criticize you. I just want to tell you, never stray too far, donʼt get to the point where you canʼt turn back, and donʼt forget your ideals.”

After speaking, Zheng Yuandong turned and left.

He Jinqiu sat quietly on the tank truck alone, looking up at the starry sky.

...

...

”Brother Chen, why did you insist I keep my eyes shut the whole time? I wanted to watch the battle between Kyushu and Jindai Kashima experts.”

On the deserted night street, Nan Gengchen muttered softly.

Both of them were holding electric bike helmets, walking slowly.

They didnʼt look like people who had just used a sniper rifle to kill a B-Class Expert. It was as if the nightʼs events had nothing to do with them.

Qing Chen said, ”Iʼve been suspecting that He Jinqiu and Zheng Yuandong might be A-Class. Now, itʼs confirmed, although Iʼm not sure about Zheng Yuandong, but He Jinqiu definitely is. If you had looked at him within 1000 meters just now, you might have been sensed, which wouldʼve caused trouble.”

”Well,” Nan Gengchen sighed, ”how did he become an A-Class immediately upon traveling through time?”

”Iʼm not sure,” Qing Chen shook his head. ”Maybe Iʼm not the first batch of Time Travelers?”

Originally, Qing Chen thought he might be among the first, but now he wasnʼt so sure.

Qing Chen always felt that if He Jinqiu was from an earlier batch of Time Travelers, then everything he demonstrated would make sense.

But Qing Chen couldnʼt verify it, unless he directly asked Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu to find out the truth.

”Hey, Brother Chen, can Xiao Niu and Aunt Jiang Xue return to the villa now?” Nan Gengchen asked.

”Yes, tell them to go back.”

Tonight, among the Daytime members, only Nan Gengchen, Liu Dezhu, and Qing Chen participated in the operation; the others went to a nearby mall to watch a movie.

Liu Dezhu hid in a further place to assist, while Nan Gengchen stayed close to Qing Chen so he wouldnʼt be approached silently while sniping.

Qing Chen kept Hu Xiaoniu and the others outside because he was worried about Jindai and Kashima suddenly losing it and causing trouble at the villa. Now that Jindai and Kashima were severely weakened, such concerns likely wouldnʼt be immediate.

Once the enemies recuperated and regained control of many Time Travelers, Daytime in the Outer World would hardly fear those demons and monsters by then.

As they turned a street corner, Qing Chen called out to Liu Dezhu hiding in the shadows, ”Dezhu, time to go home.”

Liu Dezhu, curious, emerged, ”Didnʼt the boss say there might be danger? Nothing happened though.”

He had been lying in wait in the shadow of this corner, ready to lure people toward him for Liu Dezhu to ambush if the boss was in danger.

Tonight, Liu Dezhu was merely a human-shaped backup trap, albeit an unused one.

Qing Chen said, ”It went smoothly on the bossʼs side, no one followed, letʼs go home.”

However, as the three of them crossed two streets and arrived at Champion Red Road, where they had parked their electric bikes,

they suddenly felt something was amiss.

Nan Gengchen stared blankly at the three electric bikes in front of him, ”Where are the batteries?”

Liu Dezhu was also shocked, exclaiming in distress, ”Damn, where are the batteries?!”

By then, the bike seats had been pried open, and the batteries beneath them had disappeared.

Who could have imagined, the Daytime who had just been fighting against enemies from Kyushu and Kunlun, who had just sniped a B-Class Expert, had actually come on electric bikes!

And who would have thought, the Daytime Bossʼs electric bike battery would get stolen!

Qing Chen thought, does Daytime have some curse where they can never be cooler than today?

Just when they had looked cool for a while, they would get stopped by a traffic cop. Now, their batteries were stolen. Could this continue?!
