Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 693: 413. Harvest

“Capri Jackson?” Qing Chen ventured.

The puppet entangled in Capri’s hand gave no response, and Qing Chen was well aware that if he knew the person’s name, no matter whether they were unconscious or on the brink of death, they would be controlled by his thoughts and become his puppet.

Now, the puppet could control two people simultaneously, and both Capri and Qing Chen were C-Class.

Moreover, Qing Chen had just fulfilled this month’s puppet containment requirements.

So, there was no reason it shouldn’t work.

Unless, Chilton had not revealed Capri’s real surname before his death.

Qing Chen felt some emotion within; the old man had died well, having manipulated those around him throughout his life and even in death.

“Capri Lincoln?” Qing Chen tried again.

Since Lincoln had led the abolitionist movement in North America and issued the Emancipation Proclamation, many Black people in North America had the surname Lincoln.

But Qing Chen guessed wrong again.

“Capri Washington?”

“Capri Smith?”

Qing Chen tried one after another, but none were correct.

It wasn’t possible that he had to search through all American surnames, was it?

He looked at Capri lying on the ground, whose eyelashes were trembling slightly — clearly, he was already awake…

However, after waking up Capri dared not resist or even show signs of being awake.

Having witnessed the Force Field Awakener taking action firsthand, he found it hard to feel any desire to win or lose, and was now in complete surrender.

Moreover, he had already endured three strikes, one from Yang Yang and two from Qing Chen.

Qing Chen had knocked him unconscious the first time, and when he woke, he found the young man beside continuously guessing his surname, unsure of what he was trying to do…

This made Capri extremely fearful, always feeling that the person beside him was not normal.

Following that, he began yelling for mercy, only to be knocked out by Qing Chen’s hand strike for the second time.

At this moment, Capri felt a severe pain in his neck, as if it had been swollen from the hits.

This time, however, Qing Chen did not knock him out again, but directly asked, “Hey, I know you’re awake, what’s your full name?”

Capri: “…”

Qing Chen raised an eyebrow: “Playing dead, huh?”

Capri: “…”

This Black friend of his understood very well that the malicious young man wanting to know his name was up to no good.

Qing Chen calmly asked, “I heard you are an Awakener, what is your ability? You were so high-profile in the Outer World, even if you don’t tell me, I can find out online after the storm passes.”

Capri, with eyes closed: “I can materialize Spartan spears and launch them…”

“Spears are just spears, what’s the difference with Spartan spears?” Qing Chen retorted.

Capri dared not retort…

It really didn’t matter; in the past, to sound cooler, he used to claim that his spears were from the Spartan 300, invincible and so on.

But acting cool was useless now.

The context wasn’t right.

Qing Chen felt that Capri’s ability was rather useless to him, for as a Transcendent below B-Class, using projectile spears wasn’t as good as just firing a gun with the principle of reciprocity.

An armor-piercing bullet was far more effective than any Spartan spear.

Qing Chen asked, “So, how many can you materialize at once?”

“18 spears,” Capri said.

“Then I’ll call you Spear 18 from now on,” Qing Chen said calmly.

Capri: “…”

Clearly, he didn’t get the reference from ‘The Deer and the Cauldron’.

Qing Chen sighed. Now, he could only wait for the storm to pass, and then use the satellite phone to call Los Angeles City and have the Daytime Members search online for this man’s name.

Since Capri was so high-profile, and as a Time Traveler celebrity who ostentatiously bought one of the top ten luxury yachts, Radiant Trumpet, his identity data should be easy to find.

After all, Capri was likely to have fans, whose investigative capabilities are well-known.

Qing Chen now suspected that this man had a middle name, otherwise why was it so difficult to guess?

“By the way, I heard you also have a Taboo item?” Qing Chen asked, staring intently at Capri.

In that instant, Capri’s gaze flickered downward uncertainly for a moment.

That was in the direction of his left hand.

Psychology is a fascinating thing; it breaks down and analyzes human instincts, but very few can truly understand it.

But Qing Chen didn’t need to fully understand it.

He just needed to know that Capri’s Taboo item was currently on him, and that was enough.

At that moment, Qing Chen suddenly noticed a Tail ring on Capri’s little finger.

The ring wasn’t attractive at all, without any patterns, looking just like a simple black iron loop,

When he deliberately shifted his gaze there, he suddenly felt Capri’s arm muscles tensed for a moment.

Things were getting interesting.

“Wait,” Capri said, “I can call my family, they can pay to ransom me…”

Before Capri could react, he was knocked unconscious again.

It should be noted, though the path to becoming a Knight is harsh, each promotion places them at the pinnacle within their level. Capri was merely an Ordinary Person among C-Class, solely relying on his power to carve some status within the Future Organization.

Capri had been directly promoted to C-Class.

After abruptly gaining power, he scorned at ‘inferior’ methods of combat.
