Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 624: 390, Countdown seven days Chapter 624: 390, Countdown seven days “It is known that among the Taboo items, there is nothing that changes another person’s destiny or brings misfortune,” Qing Chen said.

On his way back from his first climb up the sheer cliffs of Green Mountain, Lin Xiaoxiao had already sent the sorted archive of Taboo items to his reader.

So, if it were a known Taboo item, Qing Chen would have suspected it long ago.

Qing Chen looked at the man opposite him, Mr. Shadow: “But the fact that a Taboo item is not recorded does not mean it does not exist. If Hu’s Information Agency has documented a Transcendent who could write fate, then it’s very likely he could separate out a Taboo item.”

“You think that Qing Xing has an unrecorded Taboo item in his possession,” Shadow asked.

“Yes,” Qing Chen stood up and paced back and forth in the living room: “But the containment conditions and usage conditions for this Taboo item must be very stringent; otherwise, Qing Xing would have written himself as the Qing Clan House Master a long time ago, instead of going through such trouble.”

The usage conditions for Taboo items are rather strict, so much so that even this month, Qing Chen had been pondering one question: his Puppeteer had yet to meet its monthly containment conditions.

Had tonight not been too dangerous, he might have entered the buildings on either side of Jindai Street and fought a round with the assassins.

Qing Chen sent a message to Yan Chunmi: “Where is Qing Xing’s information?”

Yan Chunmi sent back a file: “Boss, you finally remembered me. All the information is here, but we haven’t found Qing Yuan yet; that kid is hiding deep.”

Qing Chen replied: “Keep searching.”

He opened the file and had to admit that Yan Chunmi’s work ability was incredibly strong; she actually managed to categorize the lucky and misfortunate events related to Qing Xing in detail, in separate charts.

Murder, injury, and other events were also thoroughly distinguished.

She had even arranged these events in chronological order and indicated what Qing Xing was doing at the exact time they occurred.

It goes without saying that the spies of the Spy Bureau and the Kite Falcons are more capable than one would imagine, at least not something the PCA Federation CIA detectives could compare with.

Of course, Qing Hua and Yang Xuyang had their advantages, which was their greater loyalty to Qing Chen.

Qing Chen and his Kite Falcons were more like partners, but Qing Hua and his group were his people.

Qing Chen did not ponder further but analyzed the contents of the file earnestly.

At that moment, Qing’s shadow suddenly noticed that Qing Chen, who had been pacing back and forth, had suddenly stood still and did not disturb him.

“Qing Xing even became a Shadow Candidate thanks to his ‘Lucky Halo’, when it should have been his brother participating. But his brother got himself into trouble while visiting prostitutes, causing their parents to be very disappointed in him, so they chose Qing Xing,” he reflected.

“In these materials, all the victims of the murder events had close contact with Qing Xing, whereas the injury event victims did not have such frequent contact with him.”

“Let’s assume that he truly possesses a notebook that writes fate. In that case, I speculate the ‘intensity’ of the written fate depends on how well he knows the target.”

“For instance, by just writing down a name, he can arrange injury events, but if he writes down the name and birthdate, he could write about a murder.”

Qing’s shadow looked at Qing Chen in some surprise: “What about all the money he found? 3,491 people lost money, and he might not even know the names of these people.”

Qing Chen said: “This indicates that he can also arrange his own fate. He writes down his own name and birthday and then lets himself find money when he goes out. I’ve noticed, starting from the second year of the Lucky Halo event, Qing Xing suddenly began to learn how to paint. But he only learned sketching.”

“Ordinary people learning to paint, how could they only study sketching? Unless they give up halfway through, they usually continue to learn other techniques such as oils or watercolors, but Qing Xing learned only sketching. Yan Chunmi’s file shows that Qing Xing did not drop out halfway and still occasionally goes outdoors to draw from life.”

“So I guess that this painting skill is likely related to writing fate. He might not be writing fate but drawing others’ destinies.”

Of course, all of this was still just Qing Chen’s speculation, but he firmly believed one thing: the so-called Lucky Halo of Qing Xing was artificial, not actual fate.

Qing Chen turned to Shadow: “The information Yan Chunmi could find is certainly something you could find too. Things I can think of, you must have considered as well. What’s the point of keeping it from me? Is it amusing?”

“It’s amusing indeed,” Shadow laughed: “However, I really don’t know what exactly he has in his hands, and so far, that Taboo item hasn’t exhibited a potent destructive power, so I’m not interested in meddling.”

“Even if it doesn’t have large destructive power, it’s still a remarkable Taboo item. Haven’t you thought about using it for yourself? Arranging others’ destinies seems to be quite an interesting thing to do,” Qing Chen said.

Shadow shook his head and smiled: “Qing Xing is Qing’s family, after all. You don’t snatch toys from your own kids. For you, he’s a competitor, but for me, in principle, all Shadow Candidates should be equal.”

Qing Chen nodded: “Therefore, Qing Xing should have two Taboo items on him right now.”

One was obtained during the first round of the shadow competition, and the other was capable of writing destiny.
