Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 855: 522, good day to everyone

The tourists on the long street of Dotonbori Town were startled by the gunfire, scattering like flocks of birds under the twilight.

Only the vibrant neon lights remained unchanged.

Hundreds of members of the Mysterious Business Department surrounded the area, with three Chosen Ones sealing off the place simultaneously, creating an oppressive atmosphere akin to a steel fortress.

However, despite their massive mobilization, they killed the wrong person.

No one knows when this hunting plan went wrong.

Qing Chen was mingling with the tourists, fleeing outward, intending to escape this tight blockade.

When Qing Chen was informed by Yang Yang that the Jindai Yunlo in Hokkaido wasn’t real, he started pondering all the clues.

It felt like the moment he was playing chess with Uncle Li Dong again.

The fierce soldier crossing the river and the cannon coming straight at him were both illusions.

On the chessboard.

Only by fighting until the last moment can one know which is the abandoned pawn, who is the victorious general, and who is the one controlling the pieces.

The Mysterious Business Department’s maneuver to send more personnel was a ruse; they created a sense of crisis, guessing that Qing Chen was drawing attention to Jinguji Maki, hence using her mother as a bargaining chip to force him to act swiftly.

The security personnel at Osaka City Hall were sacrificial pawns, merely creating an opportunity to mark him.

But those who marked him didn’t intend to act personally, so no Chosen Ones appeared at that time.

They only acted now because someone intended to use him as the blade to kill those whom they themselves couldn’t touch.

Qing Chen laughed amidst the tourists.

Once he understood everything, he constantly deliberated whether to be that blade.

Hu’s Information Agency documented the ATS-088-type Divine Cloud External Mirror, which could observe Qing Chen for 10 seconds every four hours using the corpse of someone he killed.

The observation range was within a two-meter diameter.

Recalling this item, Qing Chen waited.

After realizing Zard was tampering with him, he hadn’t dealt with it, purposely dragging Zard into the mess.

But Zard, despite appearing carefree, was meticulous; upon discovering he was conversing with a puppet, he hurriedly fled…

As for why Jindai Yunwu’s people found the wrong place, it was because they saw the logo of the BBQ restaurant in the Divine Cloud External Mirror.

A logo Qing Chen intended them to see.

Actually, Takahashi Yoshiyoshi and Qing Chen were always in the Dotonbori Grilled Beef Tongue Restaurant, just in two separated but nearby shops.

Jindai Sorajima and others mistook the restaurant because Qing Chen had taken tableware with the logo from another shop.

Was there a problem with using tableware with “Japanese Style BBQ Restaurant” logo in “Ichihotei BBQ Restaurant”?

No problem.

No one would notice the minor details of different tables from two BBQ restaurants, and the Mysterious Business Department members who entered the BBQ restaurant to check didn’t have the chance to see the details in the Divine Cloud External Mirror.

No one noticed the transparent thread passing through the roof.

Qing Chen handled the bizarre Divine Spirit technique very simply with just a pair of chopsticks.

People only believe what they want to see.

The simpler it is, the more effective.

At this moment, Qing Chen was running with the crowded tourists towards the outer blockade. He had already passed two blockade lines; ahead were only a dozen Mysterious Business Department members.

Jindai Yunwu suddenly snarled over the communication channel, “Seal this street, the target must still be on this street, they can’t be far!”

“Sir, we can’t identify their appearance right now, they can disguise themselves.”

Jindai Yunwu sternly replied, “Use the communication vehicle to lock down all surveillance and network signals; kill anyone present and find Red Leaf Hunter for me!”

Qing Chen heard the voices in those people’s earpieces; he didn’t expect Jindai’s Chosen Ones could be this insane for Red Leaf Hunter.

The blockade contained at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, tourists.

He ran among the crowd, watching the Mysterious Business Department members unlocking their gun safeties.

Qing Chen pressed his lips together; being a blade once, so what?

He decided to be that killing blade.

As long as Jindai’s people came his way, there was nothing he couldn’t kill.

The crux was, the one wishing to borrow the blade probably didn’t realize how sharp this blade was or foresee hurting themselves.

Qing Chen took out a small bottle from his pocket, used his thumb to smear a drop of blood from the bottle onto his wrist.

The Mysterious Business Department members had already raised their gun muzzles, ready to shoot.

At the next moment, just as Qing Chen’s figure encountered the final layer of blockade, he flicked out a playing card between his index and middle fingers, slashing a Mysterious Business Department member’s neck as he swung his arm.

As the two brushed past, a spurting bloodline shot out from the Mysterious Business Department member’s neck.

Two gunshots boomed.

Snipers at points A and B fired simultaneously, but Qing Chen moved fast like a ghost among the dozen Mysterious Business Department members, making the bullets hard to lock onto.

Regarding the use of sniper rifles, Qing Chen was the god among snipers; he knew their breathing patterns, he understood the heartbeats’ effect on snipers, and he knew how to mislead them into flawed aim.

Thus, amidst the sniper gunfire, Qing Chen maneuvered through the crowd like a shadow, visible yet untouchable.

Not only were the snipers unable to lock onto him, but even the dozen Mysterious Business Department members couldn’t catch up to his movements despite raising their guns.

This was B-Class; this was a level capable of dodging hot weapon bullet trajectories!

With a physique increasingly transcending human limits, supporting powerful combat will!

The lightweight playing card in his hand, wielded like a knife!

Meanwhile, Jindai Yunwu and others were charging towards him, shouting into the communication channels, “Are the two snipers useless? Why haven’t they killed him yet!”

But by then, the snipers had finished their rounds, beginning to reload.

It was during this reload time that one sniper suddenly realized the killer accelerated his pace.

The opponent seemed to have calculated their firearms usage, their ammunition capacity, their firing rhythms, then decided when to commence unrestrained slaughter.

Elite snipers only needed about three seconds to reload.

Yet during these three seconds, the final blockade of the Mysterious Business Department was torn apart.

As the snipers chambered rounds, they had to watch helplessly…

Before one body hit the ground, Qing Chen lightly plucked the earpiece from the corpse’s ear, walking out of the torn blockade while laughing, “Greetings from Dawn.”

Dawn!

This was Qing Chen’s first acknowledgment of Dawn’s name in the Island Country.

Actually, Zard’s appearance had already pointed all fingers at Dawn.

Everyone speculated that the killer was Dawn’s boss.

So there was no need for guessing anymore; today, Dawn had a firm place in this world.

Today better than yesterday, and tomorrow even better than today.

Tonight’s slaughter had only just begun.
