Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 257 206, An Unprecedented Event Through the Ages, the Taboo Item ACE-002 Sees the Light of Day Again! (A long Chapter of 10,000 words asking for monthly tickets!)

Countdown 4:50:00.

Inside Secret Prison No. 18, Uncle Li Dong looked at the time and said, ”It should have been a success over at City No. 18 by now.”

Thinking of his comrades from days past breaking free after eight years, he felt his eight years of waiting had not been in vain.

As Cheng Xiao had said, if it werenʼt for worrying about the lives of those friends, he wouldnʼt have needed to be trapped here.

However, Uncle Li Dong never regretted it.

In his youth, he could die spectacularly for a belief with his friends, but as an adult, he was also willing to live a life of enduring humiliation for an ideal.

”Boss, Iʼm a bit curious,” Lin Xiaoxiao voiced her doubts, ”You mentioned that someone in City No. 18 would rescue Cheng Xiao and the others, but I didnʼt see you dispatch the Knightʼs Couriers or use the power of the Heng Society. So, who went to the rescue? Did you train other subordinates without me knowing?”

This time, not only Qing Chen, but also Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan were unaware of the detailed plans of Uncle Li Dong.

They only knew that, after their boss brought Qing Chen back to City No. 18, Qing Chen went to school, while the boss alone arranged many things.

Qing Chen thought Uncle Li Dong was leisurely buying houses and cars, but in reality, Uncle Li Dong had not rested for a moment; he hadnʼt slept for days and nights.

It was fortunate that he had a demigodʼs body; otherwise, nobody could have withstood it.

At this moment, Ye Wan also rarely expressed confusion, ”Boss, if itʼs a partner, I canʼt think of who would be willing to offend the Chen Clan and Qingʼs Family at this time?”

Although the secret prison was managed by the Chen Clan, any transfers or executions of prisoners also required the consent of Qingʼs Family.

This was initially set up by the two families to restrain Uncle Li Dong.

Thus, breaking the prisoners out meant simultaneously offending both the Chen Clan and Qingʼs Family.

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Li Dong said, ”Itʼs confidential.”

It wasnʼt that Uncle Li Dong didnʼt trust Lin Xiaoxiao, Ye Wan, or Qing Chen, but some matters were indeed too important, involving too many people, and any leakage could lead to unpredictable outcomes.

At this moment, the three of them were sitting in the restaurant, all the alloy gates of Secret Prison No. 18 were closed, leaving only one escape route in the cold storage behind them.

Before the final moment arrived, Uncle Li Dong had to ensure that no one who was meant to die could escape from this prison.

The prisoners didnʼt dare to risk being riddled with bullets to rush the gates, nor did they dare provoke Uncle Li Dong, so the three thousand seven hundred of them scrambled like headless flies looking for a chance to escape inside the prison.

Even if they couldnʼt get out, finding the prisonʼs signal jamming device and calling for help from the outside world would be something.

Some said that Uncle Li Dong had stealthily left the prison, and even the conglomerates hadnʼt monitored the whereabouts of this demigod, so there had to be a secret passage here.

If they could find the passage, everyone could leave.

But now, Secret Prison No. 18 was like a huge iron box; no one had found that so-called secret passage.

However, at this moment, Uncle Li Dong suddenly frowned and looked behind him as footsteps came from the kitchen, the person stopping just before exiting the kitchen.

It seemed they were worried about being seen by the prisoners outside.

”Uncle, may I come into the restaurant to talk? I have a favor to ask.”

Uncle Li Dong recognized the voice—it was Yangyangʼs.

He raised an eyebrow and stood up to go into the restaurant, with Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan following closely behind.

They saw a long-haired girl dressed in a hoodie, politely greeting Uncle Li Dong, ”Hello, Uncle.”

Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan looked at each other in surprise; when had their boss acquired a younger relative? And why the affectionate address?

”Yangyang is here,” Uncle Li Dong touched his cheek, thinking that although he had given the Taboo ACE-005 to Qing Chen and restored his appearance, he was still recognized.

Sure enough, holders of the Force Field Ability were always the chosen ones.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, ”How did you get in? How did you know the entrance to the secret passage?”

”Oh,” Yangyang pointed behind her and said, ”When I flew over the area, I detected a series of unusual force field fluctuations underground, so I followed the fluctuations and found the entrance. After entering the secret passage, I discovered it was a series of tritium lamps.”

Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, thinking that this Force Field Awakener was indeed like cheating, able to see the essence of things directly.

No wonder such Transcendents only appeared once every hundred years; if there were more, the world would be in chaos.

”So what did you come in for?” Uncle Li Dong looked at Yangyang with a smile, ”Lots of people here want to get out but canʼt.”

”Uncle, I want to take Guo Huchan with me, please spare his life,” Yangyang said sweetly.

”Youʼre very bold, young lady,” Uncle Li Dong grew curious, ”Do you know that if I hadnʼt discovered you hadnʼt leaked Qing Chenʼs secret, you might have died together with Guo Huchan today?”

”I know, which is why I didnʼt leak anything,” Yangyang continued sweetly from across Uncle Li Dong, ”Of course, thatʼs not entirely why I did it.”

Uncle Li Dong looked at her, ”From the moment Guo Huchan came in, he attacked me, repeatedly claiming he wanted to seize the Taboo. If you want me to spare him, youʼll have to give me a proper reason.”

”Spadeʼs goal and yours converge, both aimed at changing the world,” Yangyang said.

”Thatʼs a reason, but not enough; the world wonʼt miss one Guo Huchan,” Uncle Li Dong shook his head.

”Iʼve secured a foothold in Spade, and in the future, I can also aid Qing Chen in many ways,” Yangyang added.
