Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 711: 419, The End_3

Actually, the biggest flaw in Qing Chen’s plan was these three people.

All it would take is one person to reveal information to the Future Organization, telling them that it was Qing Chen who had taken control of Capri, and then the Future Organization would quickly realize all the cause and effect that led up to this.

It was that simple.

However, Qing Chen had no intention of killing them to silence them.

Although those three hadn’t been of much help, at least they hadn’t done anything to harm Qing Chen or Yaoyao.

This was Qing Chen’s bottom line—if he resorted to indiscriminate killing just to keep this secret forever, then he would not be worthy of calling himself a Knight.

Originally, Uncle Li Dong had waited a full eight years to gather 3,650 people deserving of their fate just to meet the requirements of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

That master, even when imprisoned, had never abandoned his principles, and Qing Chen naturally couldn’t either.

“Did we make any gains tonight?” Yaoyao asked.

“We did. Jindai, Deer Island, Future, I’ve knocked all their ideas clear out,” Qing Chen said with a smile: “Now, if we wanted to leave, I reckon no one would be watching us anymore. Let’s get ready to move, we’ll return to the country in the next few days.”

“Okay,” Yaoyao nodded, “There’s food ready in the kitchen, I’ll go warm it up for you.”

“Alright.”

After Yaoyao entered the kitchen, Qing Chen turned to look at Abby and Capri.

Truth be told, he very much wanted to take the two of them back to his country.

In the past, the Awakeners he had encountered either had abilities far surpassing his own, or they were at such a low level that their powers were not impressive when used.

But now, as a C-Class, controlling Capri was like having a humanoid Taboo in his possession.

A Taboo capable of instantaneously firing thirty-five miniature kinetic bombs…

Perhaps, this was the true power of the Taboo ACE-019, the Puppeteer—just knowing the true name and having a high enough level could turn another’s abilities into one’s own advantage!

But no matter how much Qing Chen wished to take these two with him, he couldn’t do it.

Firstly, it would be difficult to leave with the two of them without attracting attention, and the presence of two foreigners during the day would inevitably raise alarm.

Secondly, Qing Chen couldn’t exactly take them everywhere he went. But the moment he loosened his grip on the Puppeteer, these two would likely start plotting their escape.

Last of all, both of them were Time Travelers, destined to travel through time sooner or later.

No matter where Qing Chen would take them, their return through time would still be to their last location before coming back.

At that time, Qing Chen would not be able to control them, and they would surely report everything they had seen and heard to the higher echelons of the Future Organization.

Therefore, Qing Chen could only painfully sacrifice two C-Class Experts…

If Qing Chen sacrificed Abby and Capri, he was just a little short of evolving the Puppeteer to sprout a third thread.

By then, whether it was the Sword Array or manipulating other experts, his strength would see a significant increase.

Wait a minute.

Qing Chen recalculated everything in his mind and suddenly felt that something was amiss.

He had sacrificed many members of the Future Organization that night, and rationally, the third thread should have already grown significantly. However, when he looked at the Puppeteer’s third thread, he discovered it had only grown by five meters.

Qing Chen tried to recall everything that had happened that night, and it was not until he went over it again that he realized only when he had killed that C-Class Expert, capable of petrifying him, did the Puppeteer undergo a new change.

After sacrificing a C-Class Expert, the growth length of the Puppeteer decreased.

To sacrifice Transcendents below the C-Class no longer brought any changes to the Puppeteer!

Qing Chen looked at the Puppeteer with irritation, “Did you take a kickback or what?!”

The Puppeteer felt wronged; its rules were just like that—the further you go, the harder it becomes…

Qing Chen sighed. He had thought that he would be able to control hundreds of people in the future, but now it seemed impossible.

At this moment, Capri’s face was pale, his eyes sunken.

Qing Chen said with a smirk, “Isn’t your ability more powerful in my hands? Surpassing limits, burning life, thirty-five spears covering with full firepower—I’ve named this move ‘Burning My Capri’. What do you think?”

Capri: “…”

Abby: “…”

The two foreigners clearly didn’t catch Qing Chen’s reference.

Qing Chen didn’t care. He smiled and said, “Let’s play a game. I’m giving each of you one chance. I will alternately release your bindings, and you will each have 30 seconds to divulge information about the other. Whoever performs best, I will let go.”

Abby and Capri didn’t believe Qing Chen’s words at all.

Only those who had personally experienced Qing Chen’s actions would realize how crafty this young man from the East really was.

They didn’t believe Qing Chen would let them go; they just felt that Qing Chen was up to some new trick.

Qing Chen said with a smile, “Let’s start with Abby.”

After that, he released the Puppeteer’s control over Abby.

As soon as Abby regained freedom, he turned and slammed into the door, hoping to smash it open and rush out onto the street.

But as he began to move, his body once again lost control.

Qing Chen looked at him with a half-smile and said, “As long as the Taboo on your hand isn’t removed, you’ll never have a chance to break free. Abby just lost his opportunity, now it’s your turn, Capri.”

The next second, Capri spoke very quickly, “Abby’s height is 176, but he has lifts in his shoes, so his real height is probably only 172. He had a crush on his teacher, secretly wrote love letters to them, but the letters were torn up by the teacher in front of all the classmates.”

The next moment, Abby’s bindings were released, and he glared at Capri angrily, “Are you crazy? Can’t you see he’s playing us?”

Abby lost control over his body.

Once again, Capri quickly said, “Abby likes mature women, he goes to the Red Light District to find ones more than ten years older than him. He has three lovers, all middle-aged women. Rumor has it he also likes to be tied up.”

The next moment, Abby was about to explode with anger, “Capri! Stop being played by him, he’s not going to let us go!”

Abby lost control over his body.

Capri spoke rapidly, “Abby’s ability is to enter others’ subconscious for interrogation. He possesses a Taboo, which is a piano. Playing ‘To Alice’ on it can induce sleep in people, with the condition that no wrong note can be played. If a mistake is made, then he’d get electrocuted.”

Abby was stunned. He hadn’t expected that after Capri had finished divulging private information, he would reveal such critical details about the Taboo, “Capri also has a Taboo; its function is…”

Abby laughed. He looked at Qing Chen, “Actually, you never really released Capri’s control from the beginning. Everything he just said was information dug up by paparazzi, available on North American online networks. So, you’ve already obtained Capri’s Taboo, but you still don’t know how to use it, right?”

Qing Chen also laughed, “Turns out you’re a smart one.”

Indeed, as Abby had said, everything Capri had spoken was controlled by Qing Chen, with the purpose of making Abby, in a state of irrationality, to reveal the information about Capri’s Tail Ring.

And Capri, he had been listening in despair as “himself” blabbered on about something, while Qing Chen had never actually released his bindings as agreed…

Abby took a deep breath, “Then let’s make a deal. I know you’re not going to let either of us go, but if you do something for me, I’ll tell you all the information about that Taboo afterward.”
