Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 250 Taboo ACE-002!

But he saw the two men slowly approaching Qing Chen, with one of them calmly saying, ”Xu Linsen, long time no see.”

As these two people emerged, everyone in the prison stopped what they were doing and silently focused on this side.

Everyone here was waiting for Qing Chen to speak.

Qing Chen looked at the man in front of him and after a long silence said, ”...Who are you?”

The man sneered, ”Iʼve heard that Spades A Xu Linsen is proud, but I never expected you to be this arrogant.”

Qing Chen couldnʼt help but laugh and cry inwardly; he wasnʼt trying to appear so arrogant, it was simply that he truly didnʼt know who the other person was, and could only continue the conversation in this manner.

In this situation, pretending to know what you donʼt is more likely to cause problems.

But then he saw the other man beside him also sneer, ”Looks like Spades A Xu Linsen doesnʼt remember me either.”

After carefully observing the other person, Qing Chen remained silent for two seconds before saying, ”If you havenʼt reached Demigod, youʼre not worth remembering.”

What kind of image Xu Linsen would have after today had nothing to do with him, Qing Chen...

The manʼs complexion became even grimmer, ”Youʼve just been promoted to A-Class yourself, I donʼt know where you get the confidence from, to speak in a way even ʼChen Shiʼ wouldnʼt dare.”

Qing Chen asked, ”Who is Chen Shi?”

The breathing of the people around him suddenly halted, even Guo Huchanʼs face showed a look of shock.

”Good,” the man suddenly laughed, ”I will pass on these words to him.”

Qing Chen silently apologized to Xu Linsen in his heart, but the most crucial point was that he really didnʼt know who Chen Shi was.

At this very moment, Guo Huchan felt an infinite sense of honor rising in his heart; it turned out that his own boss was so bold he didnʼt even consider Chen Shi, regarded as the first person under the Demigods!

The future of Spades under the leadership of the boss would surely be bright.

...

...

”Boss, werenʼt we here to watch the fun? But why do I feel like heʼs handling it with ease?”

In a corner of the prison, Lin Xiaoxiao whispered.

Ye Wan nodded, ”Xiao Chen has never encountered Xu Linsen, yet he managed to act out Xu Linsenʼs proud demeanor perfectly, even surpassing the original.”

Uncle Li Dong, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Ye Wan stood in a dark corner, silently watching a good show unfold.

Everyone had agreed beforehand to see Qing Chen flustered and lost, so that Uncle Li Dong, as a master, could step in and save the day, showcasing the value of being a master.

After all, the student being too composed indeed made the master feel a lack of accomplishment.

Itʼs like a mother in an ordinary household, although she will nag you about not folding your quilt properly, not taking care of yourself, not studying hard, but if you do everything well, she might suddenly feel a lack of presence.

Uncle Li Dong was now feeling this way, so he wanted to create some danger for Qing Chen, with the thinking that, as a Demigod overseeing the prison, nothing could go wrong anyway.

However, the development of the situation was now moving in a direction that no one had anticipated...

After a long silence, Uncle Li Dong said, ”Letʼs wait and see.”

At this point, the man opposite Qing Chen said, ”What we didnʼt expect was that the almighty Spades A would take such a risk to come to Prison 18. Arenʼt you afraid that Li Dong here would suppress you to death?”

Over the years, the Transcendents captured by the Federation were always tried by corporate interests to be recruited and then represented by the most powerful, most expensive lawyers to clear their names.

Then, Transcendents who were caught in a weakness vanished from the public eye, such as Du Hao and Xie Yinggeng in front of Qing Chen, who have been missing for 3 years, now silently serving the Li Family and the Chen Clan.

But there were exceptions, such as Guo Huchan, who refused to yield and was sent directly to Prison 18.

Because of Uncle Li Dongʼs presence, other Transcendents couldnʼt stir up any trouble here.

Although Xu Linsen was stronger than Guo Huchan, he would still be suppressed once in Prison 18, which is why the man spoke this way.

Qing Chen calmly said, ”Everybody knows that Uncle Li Dong has already left Prison 18, so thereʼs no need for these useless words. If you didnʼt know he had left, would you two dare to enter this prison? The nature of the hundreds of transfers to Prison 18 in recent times is well understood between us.”

Du Hao sneered, ”Letʼs just speak frankly then. No matter how arrogant Xu Linsen is, there are only a few dozen of Spades in Prison 18. If you are trying to contend for ACE-002 by yourself, Xie Yinggeng and I joining forces would be enough to ruin your plans. So itʼs better for us to cooperate and capture Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan first.”

”Do you think youʼre worthy of cooperating with me?” Qing Chen looked at them coldly, but suddenly realized that the pair was about to make a move, ”Youʼre worthy.”

This sudden change of tone confused many people; Takamagahara couldnʼt figure out whether Xu Linsen was willing to cooperate or not.

Qing Chen looked at the two men, ”When do you plan to make a move against Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan?”

”At nightfall,” Xie Yinggeng answered calmly.

The turmoil inside Prison 18 gradually subsided.

Everyone was waiting for the student march to throw the outside order into chaos. Two seemingly unrelated events were suddenly closely linked.

Perhaps, this was also one of the reasons why the student march was legally approved, as someone wanted it to obscure more peopleʼs vision.

Countdown 14:00:00.

9 hours until nightfall.

Meanwhile, within the crowd, several prisoners quietly left the line and entered the restroom one by one.

They met in the restroom without speaking and each slipped into different stalls.

These people belonged to different organizations and now needed to establish contact with the outside as soon as possible, such as asking why their superiors hadnʼt mentioned that Xu Linsen would be coming in, whether Uncle Li Dong had appeared outside, and the progress of the student protests.

A prisoner rolled up his sleeves and then forcefully dismantled his integrated mechanical arm, pulling out several parts to reassemble into a complete signal transmission device.

However, at that very moment, all the prisoners responsible for passing information discovered that their communication devices had malfunctioned and could not detect any signals whatsoever.

This fortress-like Prison No. 18 seemed to have become an isolated citadel outside of City No. 18.

...

...

As the crowd around him dispersed, Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He kept a calm expression on his face because he knew there were countless eyes still watching him.

The personal arrival of Spades A indeed shook the nerves of countless people.

However, Qing Chen didnʼt think too much about it, his mission now was to muddy the waters.

Lin Xiaoxiao had mentioned before: too many prisoners had been transferred here, and in just over ten days, Prison No. 18 had seen an increase of 1,200 people.

Among these 1,200 people, there were individuals from various organizational forces as well as innocent people who had been forcefully moved here; they were all mixed together and indistinguishable.

Even if Uncle Li Dong, as a Demigod, wanted to cleanse Prison No. 18, he wouldnʼt want to indiscriminately harm the innocent.

Therefore, one must stir up this stagnant pond so that the animals within would start moving, only then could you tell which ones were carnivores and which ones were herbivores.

With this thought, Qing Chen, accompanied by Guo Huchan, silently moved through the crowd and headed directly for Uncle Li Dongʼs room.

In an instant, everyoneʼs gaze converged on him, wanting to see what this ʼXu Linsenʼ was planning to do.

”Boss, where are we heading?” Guo Huchan asked in confusion.

”Iʼm taking you to get a Taboo,” Qing Chen responded calmly.

Yet in the next moment, Qing Chen suddenly walked into an open cell and took out a thick book, stuffing it into Guo Huchanʼs hands.

With a serious expression, Qing Chen whispered, ”Run! Iʼll cover you!”

Guo Huchan froze momentarily, then turned and sprinted towards the Alloy Gate on the north side of the square.

Although all seemed sudden, with such an important ACE-002 entrusted to him by the boss and instructions to cover for his escape from Prison No. 18, this was not the time for him to overthink.

In an instant, Guo Huchanʼs body tattoos became fully visible, and like a rampant bull, he charged forward, embodying the spirit of unstoppable force against gods and Buddhas alike.

It was at this moment that nearly a thousand people in the square started to move as well, amongst them someone shouted, ”Stop him, donʼt let him take the Taboo away!”

”Seize the Taboo from him!”

Sudden chaos erupted in Prison No. 18, where the majority of prisoners had no idea what was happening, appearing bewildered and at a loss, while a small fraction of them began to sprint after Guo Huchan.

The surge of people was overwhelming, and before Guo Huchan could reach the Alloy Gate, a hundred people had already blocked his path!

”Get out of my way!” yelled Guo Huchan as he barged into the crowd, clutching the thick book tightly to his chest.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen prisoners flew into the air as though they had been struck by a fast-moving armored vehicle, each plummeting down violently.

However, just as Guo Huchan charged ahead, two individuals with calm expressions emerged from behind him. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

The middle-aged man named Du Hao took a composed approach. With two slender fingers extended, he took advantage of a moment when Guo Huchan was dealing with others and swiftly jabbed under the bald manʼs ribs.

A sharp pain surged throughout Guo Huchanʼs body upon the attack to his ribs, causing his arms to involuntarily loosen for a moment.

The next second, Xie Yinggeng on the other side suddenly reached out and grabbed the edge of the book, pulling hard!

”Not a chance!” Guo Huchanʼs palms, as large as copper bowls, desperately clung to the book in his embrace, refusing to let it be snatched away.

In the midst of their struggle…

A tearing sound.

The Taboo, ACE-002, was ripped apart…

Everyone was stunned. They gaped at the sky in shock, momentarily unable to process what had just transpired.

Taboos were products of rules; how could they be broken?

With so many Taboos that could only be contained, not destroyed, surely ACE-002 couldnʼt be that fragile.

How were they supposed to explain this to their boss when they returned? Could they claim they had successfully destroyed the Taboo ACE-002 as commanded?

If they actually reported that, they would probably be sent to the wilderness to plant corn, right?!

Earlier, the one who had acted against Guo Huchan, Du Hao, stretched out his fingers and caught a torn page from the air, which read, ”Middle-Aged Health Manual…”

”This is not a Taboo at all, weʼve been played!” Xie Yinggeng roared, looking towards Guo Huchan.

However, they suddenly realized that Guo Huchan looked just as shocked at that moment!

The prisoners were confused—understandably they were shocked, but why did Guo Huchan seem equally astonished…

Guo Huchan pushed through the crowd, looking back to search for his bossʼs figure, but to his surprise, the one known as ”Xu Linsen” had vanished.

But the most crucial aspect of this farce was that those who harbored malicious intent and were hidden among the ordinary prisoners had all but revealed their true colors.
