Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 262 206, 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!)_6

”What did you guess?” Yi asked.

”Let me ask a question first. Were my masterʼs friends rescued?” Qing Chen asked.

”Thirty-five people were rescued, but one person still hasnʼt been found,” Yi answered honestly.

”Who knows the location where these prisoners were held?” Qing Chen asked calmly.

”A few people from the Chen Clan and Qingʼs Family,” Yi replied.

”Hmm, that explains it, the Scepter of the Gods is also with Qingʼs Family,” Qing Chen nodded, ”In fact, my master had a way to save them long ago, right? Besides, my master could have killed those prisoners in the jail at any time, but he has been waiting. Those prisoners were waiting for him to appear after dark to make their move, which I understand. But I canʼt understand what my master was waiting for.”

”Now I understand, he was waiting for the satellite carrying the Scepter of the Gods to enter the attack orbit, then watching it destroy Prison 18.”

It wasnʼt that the Scepter of the Gods suddenly struck Prison 18, rather, Uncle Li Dong had been waiting for it to fall from the sky all along.

Uncle Li Dong knew when it would fall because he had already struck a deal with Qingʼs Family.

Though no one knew what the deal entailed.

Yi seemed intrigued, ”So guess why your master would do such a thing?”

”To fake his death and confuse others,” Qing Chen said, ”But I am thinking, since I guessed that he isnʼt dead, there must be others who could guess it too, so this could only confuse a large portion of people, there will still be some who speculate whether he really died or not.”

”Making some people uncertain is enough, a missing Uncle Li Dong holds enough deterrence,” Yi said, ”But … his faked death isnʼt the key; whatʼs important is that youʼve ʼdiedʼ, he promised you he would make you a true Shadow.”

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He had thought before: even if ʼQingʼs Family Qing Chenʼsʼ appearance was changed in the Federationʼs records, two Qing Chens being alive at the same time would eventually create problems. Uncle Li Dong, this Demigod, couldnʼt always impersonate him to cover for his absence, especially since Taboo ACE-005 was already in Qing Chenʼs hands, Uncle Li Dong had no way to impersonate ʼQingʼs Family Qing Chenʼ anymore.

Therefore, his identity would be revealed sooner or later.

But now it was different, Qingʼs Family Qing Chen had already died under the Scepter of the Gods!

From now on, in Inner World, there will only be Qing Chen, no longer Qingʼs Family Qing Chen!

The competition among the nine candidates of Shadow had already seen two deaths in the eyes of the public!

It turns out that the true meaning of ”starting a life of oneʼs own” was to let him no longer carry anything, even his past identity, and then truly start a life as Qing Chen.

Yi said, ”He has another purpose, can you guess what it is?”

Qing Chen pondered for a long time without speaking.

Yi found that he had finally grasped information that Qing Chen couldnʼt guess, and his tone became cheerful, ”He wants to awaken you.”

Qing Chen was shocked, astonished.

Yi said, ”Based on time, I should have controlled the Hover car to fly into the city long ago, but I have been slowing down, just as Uncle Li Dong wanted me to let you wake up and see with your own eyes the destruction of Prison 18, then try to awaken.”

Qing Chen recalled a story his master had once told him, describing how a family had hired an Assassin to kill their relatives one by one to provoke the awakening of the family genius!

And now, Uncle Li Dong was using the method of faking death to stimulate Qing Chenʼs Awakening!

The adversary wanted Qing Chen to watch himself die under the Scepter of the Gods, thereby triggering the potential within him that even the brink of life and death could not fully unleash.

However, Uncle Li Dong probably didnʼt expect that Qing Chen hadnʼt felt sadness or pain, so he hadnʼt awakened.

Yi sighed, ”This time your master miscalculated. He knows you are calm and clever, but he still underestimated your calmness and cleverness.”

Qing Chen was stunned, had he missed an opportunity to awaken just because of his intelligence?

Imagine if Uncle Li Dong had really died, then surely he would be devastated, but the problem is, he really canʼt muster any grief now.

”Have I not wasted my masterʼs efforts?” Qing Chen murmured.

Thinking this, he finally felt a bit of grief...

”However, your master letting you witness this scene was just incidental,” Yi said, ”I admit he cares a lot about you, doing so much for you, even staging a faked death to help your Awakening, but he wouldnʼt use the Scepter of the Gods just for your awakening. Guess, what he really wants to do?”

Qing Chen was silent.

All clues were flashing endlessly in his Memory Palace.

The waiting time…

The transactions behind the scenes…

The fallen Scepter of the gods…

The imprisoned prisoner…

Forbidden object…

The youth suddenly said, ”ACE-002 must be contained underground at Prison 18, and the container harboring it can hardly be opened quietly by human hands. Thus, he had to use the Scepter of the gods to penetrate that container... no, the Scepter of the gods itself was intended as a weapon to open that very container, which is why you would say, the existence of the Scepter of the gods itself is not for striking or destroying enemies.”

”How boring.”

Yi said.

”Take me to the boxing gym,” Qing Chen said calmly.

Yi asked, ”In this situation, you still feel like watching boxing? Even if you are not sad at all, you should at least feel some emotional turbulence after what youʼve just been through.”

Qing Chen said calmly, ”Master went to great lengths to stage my fake death, at this time I should find a place to prove my alibi to the concerned people with the calmest of emotions, although the evidence is not perfect, it is sufficient.”

”Are you really human?” Yi questioned from the depths of its soul.

If it had a soul.

…

…

Under the dust of the collapsing Prison 18.

In a secret space beneath the prison.

An ordinary wooden Go board quietly lay inside a container that had been breached.

The container had been struck by the Scepter of the gods, creating a large gap, yet the wooden board was completely intact, even free of dust.

Beside the board, there were two wooden jars containing 180 white pieces and 181 black pieces respectively.

This was the forbidden object everyone was seeking.

Someone gently walked up to it and picked it up delicately.

”3610 lives, 361 pieces.”

”Spanning nineteen rows and columns, a unique game throughout ages, the forbidden object ACE-002, the Heavenly Earth Go board, finally sees the daylight again.”

…

A huge chapter asking for monthly tickets!

Two things.

First, at the end of the chapter, thereʼs an event predicting the success of ”The Art of Naming the Night,” and it seems the sales record can be broken, so keep pushing! Regarding monthly tickets and subscriptions, after discussing with the big allies and managers, thereʼs hope, I think the success rate is at 80%, those bold enough can also bet on ʼsuccessʼ! Take a gamble, and turn a bike into a motorcycle!

Though I donʼt see much hope for the highest initial subscription, breaking a hundred thousand average subscriptions seems inevitable, current average is 76200, but doesnʼt seem feasible before July 1st.

During the sprint record period, I hope everyone supports with more subscriptions and monthly tickets!

Second, I know everyone occasionally runs out of books to read, I recommend a conscientious authorʼs book ”The First Sequence”, this book is unbelievably good, I hope it can alleviate your book droughts.
