Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 722: 426. Extraordinarily lively_2

No one got off the train.

This represented a legitimate and powerful Time Traveler Organization, in stark contrast with those time travelers who were just here for fun.

“By the way, why haven’t I heard about Daylight attending the Federation?” Tuan Zi wondered, “Red Leaves and the Matrix are already here, where are the people from Daylight? Isn’t Daylight closer to Zheng City?”

“Could it be they don’t plan to participate? Or maybe Kunlun didn’t invite them?” one companion asked.

“No way, given Daylight’s influence in the Inner World, how could Kunlun not invite them,” Sun Chu Ci said, “Daylight has always been low-key. The Matrix and Red Leaves had already publicly announced their establishments, but it was only after involving themselves in several matters that Daylight gradually became known to a few. I dare say, even now, a large number of time travelers in the country haven’t heard of Daylight; we only know because Zheng City and Los Angeles City are nearby. They must have already arrived; they just haven’t made a show like the Matrix and Red Leaves.”

“What other Time Traveler Organizations have arrived?” Tuan Zi browsed the news.

Sun Chu Ci said, “Kuncheng’s ‘Red Umbrella’ organization, Zhongcheng’s ‘Pao Ge’, Zheng City’s ‘Longhu Commune’, Wucheng’s ‘Sanjiangkou’, they all have arrived.”

“It’s said that the ‘Red Umbrella’ organization even brought a lot of local mushroom products from Kuncheng, as gifts for other time travelers,” Tuan Zi said. “Someone in He Xiaoxiao’s group mentioned that a time traveler had the hotel kitchen cook them, and after eating, they started hitting effigies in the hotel lobby.”

This incident had already turned into a joke.

Another time traveler was shivering in the hotel restaurant; when someone asked him what was wrong, he said there was a dragon on the ceiling.

Qing Chen thought to himself that this ‘Red Umbrella’ must be doing this on purpose…

Can these mushrooms just be gifted casually? If the mushrooms from Kuncheng aren’t properly cooked, they can cause strong hallucinogenic effects; probably a lot of time travelers at the conference center were going to suffer.

Is this what they call coming to a conference? It’s more like poisoning…

Time travelers did not become time travelers voluntarily; most of them just woke up one night to find a countdown mysteriously appearing on their arms.

So, when Kunlun gathered everyone together, all kinds of strange things happened.

The train arrived at the station, everyone grabbed their things and got off, but Qing Chen walked out alone, carrying just a small bag.

At the exit, he suddenly saw the weathered-faced Ergou smiling broadly, standing at the exit holding a sign with Qing Chen’s name on it.

Below the big characters were two small ones: Kunlun.

When this intelligence officer smiled, the wrinkles on his face resembled a blooming chrysanthemum.

Ergou was no longer young, wearing a pair of plain black cloth shoes.

Qing Chen pretended not to see him and continued walking out.

He thought to himself, Kunlun must have checked his travel information, knowing he was coming to Zheng City by this train, and had specifically sent Ergou, the intelligence officer, to pick him up!

Could it be that he was already on Kunlun’s watch list? As soon as he took public transport from Los Angeles City, the system would automatically notify Kunlun?

What does this mean?

At that moment, Sun Chu Ci and others also came out behind him; they were stunned when they saw the sign Ergou was holding: “Wait, was Qing Chen on our train just now?”

“There weren’t many people getting off; I didn’t see him,” Sun Chu Ci said, puzzled.

He couldn’t help but step forward to ask Ergou, “Hello, the Qing Chen that you are picking up, is he the one from Daylight?”

Ergou responded with a smile, “Indeed he is.”

Tuan Zi sighed, “Isn’t it said that Kunlun doesn’t pick up time travelers? It looks like everyone else made their own way here.”

People thought to themselves, so Daylight has such a special status that Kunlun had to arrange someone to pick them up?

Sun Chu Ci curiously asked, “Is this the VIP treatment?”

Ergou responded with a smile, “Yes, this is the VIP treatment.”

Sun Chu Ci and the others were amazed; Daylight’s status really was that high!

Qing Chen felt very strange; he messaged Zheng Yuandong asking, “Did you guys mark my ID or something? How do you know about me taking the train as soon as it happens?”

Zheng Yuandong: “Yes.”

Qing Chen was puzzled: “But there’s no need to specifically pick me up alone, right? I see no one picking up other time travelers; isn’t it a bit improper to treat me so specially?”

Zheng Yuandong: “You’re overthinking. We just wanted to get you directly to the conference center, to save you from causing trouble for other time travelers in Zheng City.”

Qing Chen: “???”

So that’s what it was!

He had thought that after stirring up some trouble in Europe, Kunlun wanted to show goodwill, thus they elevated his treatment.

Turns out, it was to protect other time travelers!?

Qing Chen: “That’s a bit much, isn’t it?”

Zheng Yuandong: “Ask yourself, is what we are doing really too much?”

Qing Chen pondered for a while but had no rebuttal.

Zheng Yuandong: “Hurry up and come to the conference center, don’t wander off.”

Qing Chen: “I’m not in a hurry to go to the conference center yet, I’ll explore the city first.”

Apparently, Zheng Yuandong had just informed Ergou that Qing Chen had exited the station.

Thus, Ergou, holding the sign, was quickly searching for Qing Chen’s presence in Zheng City West Station…

Sun Chu Ci and others saw this scene and thought, was Qing Chen really on the same train as them?

They looked at each other bewildered, but they really hadn’t seen him!
