Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 490 322, a long street, and a sniper like a god

In everyoneʼs conception, the Contraindicated Courts are a very bizarre and mysterious existence, seemingly always able to foresee the deaths of Superhumans, then arriving to take them in.

They could generally determine the level and direction of the dying Superhumans, but they didnʼt know exactly who would die.

Whenever they appeared, people knew a Superhuman was about to die.

These people were draped in monk-like black linen cloaks, like a flock of carrion crows.

Normally, the Contraindicated Courts would classify the death of a Superhuman as a first, second, or third level event.

The death of C-Class, D-Class, E-Class, and F-Class Superhumans was uniformly classified as a third-level event, a low-priority incident that could be dealt with later.

The death of B-Class and A-Class Superhumans was uniformly classified as a second-level event, a high-priority incident. Deaths of these two levels of Superhumans, if not dealt with promptly, could give rise to Taboo Lands, so they had to be handled immediately.

The death of an S-Class Superhuman corresponded to a first-level event, where members of the Contraindicated Courts, no matter when or where, even if it meant sacrificing everything, had to rush to the scene.

Therefore, Li Changqing felt that the Contraindicated Courts arrived too quickly tonight. If it was just a battle between Shadow Candidates, those death-predicting crows shouldnʼt have come so fast!

Unless, they had already foreseen that a higher-level Superhuman would die tonight.

Li Changqing looked out the window. The vehicle had entered the low-rise area of the Fourth District, the most famous Red Light District there. Street dancers posed lasciviously in shop windows, and dance males were mixed in as well, diversifying to satisfy all customer demands.

Li Changqing glanced at the LCD panel in his hand, which was constantly refreshing with a very weak signal.

Inside City No. 18, there shouldnʼt be a place with such weak WIFI coverage.

He silently watched the cityscape and suddenly sighed, ”I wonder if itʼs still possible to park now.”

Lao Jiu was taken aback for a moment, ”Whatʼs wrong, boss?”

No sooner had he spoken than the leading vehicle in the convoy suddenly stopped, causing the vehicles behind to slam on the brakes.

The convoy stopped so abruptly that there was no warning from the frontmost car.

With a series of loud crashes, the vehicles at the front of the convoy collided with one another in succession, resulting in a pile-up.

”Boss, hold tight!”

Just then, Xiao Ying, who was driving, suddenly gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel.

At the critical moment, Li Changqingʼs vehicle managed to drift narrowly away, spinning on the road like it was on ice, breaking free from the colliding convoy!

It was this critical driving skill that saved the bulletproof car from being stuck in the jammed convoy.

Otherwise, their vehicle would have been trapped there, completely losing its mobility, like prey caught in quicksand.

Seeing Xiao Yingʼs driving skills, Lao Jiuʼs eyes lit up, ”Not bad, Xiao Ying.”

Xiao Ying didnʼt respond. His lips were tightly pursed as he alternately looked at the rearview mirror and then ahead at the road.

As the vehicle spun, he stomped on the gas pedal at a certain moment.

The carʼs four tires rapidly skidded across the pavement, kicking up a huge cloud of white dust.

With the screeching sound of tires gripping the road, Xiao Ying forcefully stabilized the drifting vehicle using its torque. The next moment, like a rocket bursting forth, the bulletproof car sped off the way they had come.

He knew this must be an ambush spot set by the enemy; if the car stopped here, it would be all over!

Forget about the other vehicles in the convoy and the other operatives, dead or alive!

His current mission was to get Li Changqing out!

As the bulletproof car began its escape, five or six off-road vehicles simultaneously emerged from both sides of the road, chasing after them.

Xiao Ying asked, ”Boss, where are we heading now?”

Li Changqing shook his head, ”They are well-prepared, Iʼm afraid thereʼs nowhere we can go.”

”Huh?” Xiao Ying was startled, and he swerved the steering wheel, trying to get the car onto the main road.

”However, thanks to you this time,” Li Changqing said with a smile, ”that spot must have been full of assassins armed with thermal weapons, but now itʼs not so certain.”

Xiao Ying looked ahead, and sure enough, as Li Changqing anticipated, off-road vehicles were roaring closer head-on, rushing at them as if they were driven by the desperate.

The narrow two-lane road left no room to dodge.

”Open the sunroof,” Li Changqing said calmly.

Lao Jiu was anxious, ”Boss, you stay in the car; itʼs bulletproof.”

Li Changqing smiled, ”The person daring to ambush me here naturally knows my car is bulletproof. Open the window. As the Li Familyʼs Intelligence Agencyʼs new authority, how can I cower like a turtle? Donʼt forget, they have plenty of ways to handle bulletproof vehicles. I donʼt want to die suffocating in here.”

Lao Jiu froze.

He had been protecting Li Changqing for many years, serving loyally alongside him like an old servant and housekeeper.

From the bossʼs college years to his current grasp of power.

Lao Jiu knew all too well that Li Changqing only showed this demeanor when he faced hopeless situations, a pride befitting a member of a financial conglomerate, unwilling to die a constricted death.

Another dead end.

”Open the window,” Li Changqing commanded coldly.

Lao Jiu helplessly pressed the window button, and the sunroof of the bulletproof car opened slowly.

With a thunderous crash, the bulletproof car collided with the oncoming off-road vehicle.

But at that instant, Li Changqing leapt out through the sunroof and landed sharply on the hood of an off-road vehicle that had yet to collide.
