Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 91: 91. Another Time Traveler

The large fire that ignited in more than a dozen bed and breakfasts soared into the sky!

With the mountain wind blowing, the fire continued to spread further afield.

What was supposed to be a pleasant National Day holiday tourism turned into a dangerous farce.

Even the sky was illuminated, as if a layer of sunset had drifted out from the midnight canopy.

Countless tourists ran out of their inns to take emergency precautions, and then endured a shooting, all frantically scrambling to escape.

The last two criminals hid in the crowd, pushing Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen ahead of them as they hurried towards the parking lot.

The Time Traveler had no more hostages to take, and lost companions could be replaced.

At this moment, all they needed to do was drive away from Laojun Mountain, and everything was still salvageable.

However, just as they were about to escape, the leader of the criminals suddenly looked back.

His gaze passed through the chaotic crowd and landed on a young man with his face covered, who was also looking back at him through the crowd.

Noisy, panicked tourists surrounded the young man, and behind him lay the raging fire.

But in the opponent’s eyes, there was none of this chaos, only him.

A chill went through the leader’s heart, suddenly filled with an ominous premonition.

He knew he was being targeted; the opponent wouldn’t rest until he was dead tonight.

The leader recalled the scene of Six being cleanly shot just moments ago and felt an inexplicable chill.

If it hadn’t been for Hu Xiaoniu being between them, he might have been the one to die then.

“Dongzi, if we don’t kill this kid today, we certainly won’t get away,” the leader said. “Watch my lead once we’re in the parking lot.”

As he spoke, the leader, dressed in a black windcoat, actually pulled out a gun and fired two shots at Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen’s abdomens, letting them slowly fall to the ground.

“Big Brother, what are you doing?” Dongzi exclaimed in surprise.

“That kid might know these two students; let’s see if they can help buy us some time. Moreover, if we want to ambush the opponent, we can’t be dragging dead weight,” the leader said before he dropped Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen and dashed into the parking lot.

This place was filled with hundreds of buses, which naturally provided cover.

It was like a maze blocking the view.

Qing Chen silently approached Hu Xiaoniu, and upon confirming that he was still breathing, immediately took out Hu Xiaoniu’s phone to dial 120.

There were medical facilities in the scenic area; those doctors and nurses probably hadn’t seen gunshot wounds, but the shots Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen took were in the stomach area, not fatal.

As long as the medical staff arrived promptly, hanging on to life shouldn’t be a problem.

He said to Hu Xiaoniu lying on the ground, “I’ve called for help, the paramedics will be here soon. I’ll stand guard, don’t worry, it’s not a fatal wound, you’ll be okay.”

But Hu Xiaoniu suddenly struggled to sit up and grabbed Qing Chen’s sleeve; his lips were pale, and his voice trembled as he spoke, “I know you’re very skilled, please help kill those two criminals!”

Qing Chen glanced at the parking lot resembling a maze.

Before he could respond, Hu Xiaoniu suddenly said, “You’re with Liu Dezhu, right? Please help take revenge. Like last time, I’ll pay Liu Dezhu double the gold bars! The two heroes from Kunlun must not have died in vain! Don’t worry about us!”

Qing Chen was silent for a long while; he didn’t know what had happened at that moment that made Hu Xiaoniu so agitated, eager for revenge even at the expense of his own life.

He spoke softly, “Stay here, don’t move, and keep pressure on the wound. Rest assured, they will definitely die today.”

After speaking, he looked at the maze-like parking lot and stepped inside.

This was a moment fraught with peril, for he was well aware that the criminals were waiting for him inside.

Using the maze as a battlefield gave whoever entered first a definite advantage: vision, terrain, timing.

It seemed every element of battle was against Qing Chen.

But Qing Chen wasn’t focused on the gold bars this time; he just wanted to kill tonight.

After a moment’s thought, he used his hands and feet to climb onto the roof of a bus.

Though the bus roof was made of thin metal, he made no sound as he stepped onto it.

Just as he moved to the other edge of the roof, he was shocked to see a villain fixed in place below.

The opponent seemed to be stuck in thick glue, struggling to raise his gun muzzle even by ten centimeters.

Qing Chen suddenly looked to the other side.

There, a person wearing a hoodie and a hood stood in the shadows, wearing a black mask.

The person stretched out an arm, spreading their palm towards the villain on the ground.

It was as if they controlled a person’s fate with just one hand.

Time Traveler!

And a legendary Transcendent at that!

Qing Chen pondered, was this ability related to gravity?

The hooded Time Traveler in the darkness tilted their head to the east, “This one has been betrayed and another has deserted him; I leave him to you.”

A female voice came from behind the mask.

Qing Chen paused, and he instantly realized:

The two villains hiding behind the vehicle must have planned to ambush him, but they were firmly controlled by this unknown Time Traveler instead.

Due to the opponent’s bizarre abilities, the leader of the villains had deserted his own people and fled.

Qing Chen sized up the opponent, roughly 176cm in height, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, but he couldn’t make out her face as she stood in the darkness.

Initially, seeing her tall stature and the loose hoodie that obscured her figure, Qing Chen subconsciously thought she was a man.

But to his surprise, it was a girl with a very young voice.

“What are you standing there for, if you keep hesitating, he will escape,” the mysterious girl said.

From afar, engine sounds were already audible, and Qing Chen saw the van he had seen before starting up. The leader of the villains sat in the driver’s seat and floored the gas pedal, driving towards the winding road leading out of the scenic area.

Qing Chen didn’t think twice; he leaped off the bus’s roof, seized the villains’ handgun, and began to sprint.

The girl in the darkness kept her gaze fixed on Qing Chen as he left, and when she saw his bare feet covered in blood, she was stunned.

The young man seemed to feel no pain at all.

She slowly walked out of the shadows and stood beside the villain, silently watching as he slowly kneeled on the concrete ground.

The next second, her continuously open palm suddenly closed.

The villain kneeling on the ground immediately screamed in agony, his legs brutally pressed against the road, the immense pressure causing a bone-crushing sound from his knees.

“This is some punishment for the people who died tonight,” the girl said softly, then tucked her hands into her hoodie pockets and walked back into the shadows.

In the parking lot, only the villain with shattered knees remained, along with his wailing.

…

The black van drove down the winding mountain road. Due to the numerous U-shaped bends and their narrow angles, the villains couldn’t pick up speed.

The sound of gunfire persisted from the back of the vehicle, instilling fear in the villain; this young man’s shooting skills were excellent, able to accurately hit the vehicle even while it was in motion.

But what he probably didn’t expect was that I had specifically chosen subsonic bullets to match the Glock 34 and silencer, to reduce the noise of gunfire.

These bullets, aside from pairing with the silencer, had no advantages; their effective range, even after using a silencer, was less than 20 meters.

They could only be used for extremely close-range assassination-style shooting!

At this moment, the villain felt somewhat fortunate they were using subsonic bullets, or he might have already been dead!

The sound of gunfire gradually ceased, as the young man seemed to have run out of bullets and had no choice but to discard his firearms.

However, Qing Chen still did not stop his pursuit.

In the rearview mirror, the villain watched as the masked young man, like a lone wolf, relentlessly chased him down, as if determined to maul him to death right there.
