Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 38: 38. Qing Chen’s Secret (Fifth Update)

In Prison No. 18, the sudden disturbance had scared the prisoners into silence.

Even those who used to enjoy lifting weights began to handle the dumbbells with extra care, afraid to disturb the behemoth in this prison.

In the past, there was only Uncle Li Dong in this prison. Although he couldn’t be offended, the good thing was this True God never bothered with anyone.

As long as you knew the rules in his underground world, you wouldn’t die.

But now things were different.

Only a fool wouldn’t realize that Qing’s Family had no reason to send someone to the prison for no reason.

With Guo Huchan here, Qing’s Family had arrived, heralding a storm.

At the dining table, Guo Huchan also got to eat real beef, wolfing it down, while Qing Chen ate more slowly.

Ye Wan stood behind Uncle Li Dong and suddenly asked Guo Huchan, “Stop focusing on eating, was that guy one of yours just now? I heard there are still a few places in the wilderness where they speak a strange language.”

“He’s not one of us, and that kid doesn’t look like he’s from the wilderness,” Guo Huchan said, wiping his shiny mouth: “When have you ever seen a wilderness person with such delicate skin?”

“That’s true,” Ye Wan frowned.

“Our people have already been found by Brother Qing Chen, don’t worry about it. I’m here on my own now!” Guo Huchan said cheerfully: “Can you also get some meat for those five brothers of mine?”

“Is there a shortage of real meat in the wilderness?” Ye Wan said disdainfully.

Guo Huchan sighed, “Facing a corporate raid every other day, who has time to raise livestock? And with two more Taboo Lands in the wilderness almost causing fatalities, the living space isn’t as big as you think. Of course, Brother Qing Chen, the food always follows you.”

Qing Chen paused for a moment, Taboo Land, another new term.

It sounded like it had some connection to the Taboo.

Then, Guo Huchan turned and put his arm around Qing Chen’s shoulder, saying, “Brother Qing Chen, why don’t you come with me to the wilderness? I can’t promise anything else, but with your talent, you’ll want for nothing and eat whatever you crave!”

Uncle Li Dong wondered, “Are you so eager to take him to the wilderness? Didn’t you see he’s with Qing’s Family? Isn’t it better for him to faithfully serve as Qing’s Family’s shadow than your wilderness?”

“How can it be the same?” Guo Huchan said dismissively: “The matter of him being a shadow isn’t even certain yet. The shadow selection is extremely dangerous, why take that risk? With me in the wilderness, you’ll have everything, why bother with all that effort?”

Uncle Li Dong laughed, “What do you have in the wilderness? Why should anyone follow you?”

Qing Chen, on the other hand, said, “He has the pie he has drawn.”

Guo Huchan: “…”

At that moment, Qing Chen seemed calm, but in reality, he knew best.

Lin Xiaoxiao would be back soon, and he was about to face the most dangerous test of his life.

Although Qing Chen had lived two lifetimes since he transmigrated, he still had no trump cards.

He knew what he was up against, but he couldn’t hide.

Nor was there any place to hide.

…

In a corner of Prison No. 18, Lin Xiaoxiao sat in an interrogation room, quietly watching the transmigrator from Sichuan Province, Jian Sheng, across from her.

The interrogation room was dim and murky, with dust floating lazily in the white beams of light from the LED lamp overhead.

Jian Sheng was asleep, and Lin Xiaoxiao had just invaded his dreams with her nightmare ability, only to be rudely awakened by his insults…

This person is indeed irritable, Lin Xiaoxiao concluded.

To tell the truth, she was a bit curious as to where this talented person had come from, seeing as he was able to hurl insults non-stop for half an hour without repetition.

As Jian Sheng gradually woke up, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao and opened his mouth to curse: “You son of a…”

“Stop,” Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted with a dark face: “Don’t talk yet. Just hearing you talk gives me a headache. Can’t we have a proper conversation?”

“I ought to box your ears…”

Lin Xiaoxiao: “…”

Just as Jian Sheng was about to continue cursing, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly activated his nightmare ability, and Jian Sheng felt another wave of drowsiness coming over him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

“What a sin!” Lin Xiaoxiao sighed and turned to walk into the adjoining interrogation room, where Liu Dezhu was sitting shakily inside.

This time, Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t waste any words. He directly took Liu Dezhu to see Huang Jixian’s current state.

Huang Jixian’s hands and feet were bound to the bed in the infirmary with alloy locks, one moment he was muttering to himself, and the next, he was struggling violently.

Lin Xiaoxiao said to Liu Dezhu, “See that? I’ll ask and you answer. If you tell lies, you’ll end up like him, got it?”

Liu Dezhu didn’t have much backbone, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! I’m a high school student who crossed over from another parallel universe…”

Seeing that the other party spilled everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had known it would be this easy to interrogate this guy, why the hell did he bother with that Jian Sheng!

“Where is Los Angeles City?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked straightforwardly.

“Los Angeles City is just a city where we live,” said Liu Dezhu.

“How many of you have crossed over?”

“I don’t know, ah, some say a few thousand, others say it’s already over ten thousand.”

Lin Xiaoxiao’s voice became stern, “What’s your purpose for crossing over? Why did you approach Uncle Li Dong, my boss?”

Liu Dezhu was almost in tears, “We were randomly transported, nobody knew where we’d end up or what identity we’d take on before crossing over. We really had no intention. I approached Uncle Li Dong because someone said that finding Uncle Li Dong in Prison 18 could lead to a career path…”

This time, he spent a full three hours interrogating Liu Dezhu. During this period, Jian Sheng in the next room woke up three times, cursed at him twenty-seven times, and was knocked out three times again.

Lin Xiaoxiao originally didn’t believe in the transmigration events, but everything Liu Dezhu said withstood logical scrutiny.

He believed that Liu Dezhu, the kind of fool who treated bosses like NPCs to be exploited, couldn’t have come up with such a logically consistent construction of the Outer World.

So now he had to believe, even if he didn’t want to, that Liu Dezhu indeed spoke the truth.

The most inconceivable thing in this human world had truly happened.

The interrogation room seemed to have plummeted into an eternal silence, with Liu Dezhu trembling and not daring to speak.

After a very long time, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, “Have you ever heard of a song called ‘Farewell’?”

Liu Dezhu was also momentarily stunned, “Yeah, I know it.”

“Is there a line in it that goes ‘Friends part, half are scattered’?”

“Yes, how do you know?” Liu Dezhu asked, puzzled.

A look of relief finally crossed Lin Xiaoxiao’s face.

He knew.

At this very moment, thousands of transmigrators had come to his Inner World, taking the place of original inhabitants and continuing to live on.

These people came from various backgrounds, and their destinies had only just begun to intertwine due to a strange event.

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

The most important thing was that he had discovered the secret of Qing Chen.
