Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 859: 525, even a master has a master

Jindai Yunlo calmly looked and said, “Boss He, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

He Jinqiu’s signature gray suit and black scepter were incredibly recognizable.

Previously, in the Middle East and North America, the Time Travelers who wanted to hunt He Jinqiu were told to look for an Asian young man holding a black scepter…

That black scepter had become inseparable from He Jinqiu for some time now.

“You speak Chinese, and quite fluently,” He Jinqiu said with a smile, “It seems there’s no doubt you’ve reverse-traveled. Such a master reverse-traveling here, your ambition isn’t small.”

The indigenous Time Travelers of the Island Country usually didn’t speak Chinese, but 99% of the Jindai family members in the Inside World Federation did, since Chinese was the official language of the Federation.

Two great masters stood at the cloud’s edge, the air between them turbulent with their aura’s pull.

Jindai Yunlo in white hunting clothes floated ethereally on the rooftop, He Jinqiu’s suit was neatly pressed—neither looked like they were about to battle but rather attend a grand banquet together.

Behind the white hunting clothes, the Hundred-Eyed Demon, Shiki Hori, Ma Mian Luo Cha, Skeleton Woman, Tian Jingxia, and Bai Rongyi manifested one by one.

“Wow,” He Jinqiu admired, “Very impressive. I can only imagine the shock when your ancestor released twelve shikigami at once.”

Jindai Yunlo was silent for a moment, then smiled and asked, “You came here and killed so many people, why do you still look so justified?”

He Jinqiu countered, “Those people moved the Inner World conglomerates’ disregard for human life to the Outer World, didn’t they deserve to die?”

Jindai Yunlo thought for a while, “Indeed.”

“Interesting,” Boss He knocked on his black scepter, “You’re quite the anomaly in the Jindai family. I can roughly guess what you’re trying to do, but I don’t think you’ll succeed.”

“I bet you don’t know what I’m trying to do,” Jindai Yunlo smiled and asked, “What’s this, are you trying to protect that Master of Daytime?”

He Jinqiu seriously corrected, “We are not protecting any organization’s boss, it’s just that Kyushu has an obligation to ensure our citizens’ human rights abroad. So many of you chasing just one person, it’s quite distressing.”

Jindai Yunlo noncommittally said, “Boss He, why not come to my residence for a cup of sake?”

“No need, I fear you might poison it,” He Jinqiu glanced downstairs, confirming that Qing Chen had escaped during the chaos, then turned and walked downstairs, “Let’s go!”

Jindai Sorajima sneaked a glance at Jindai Yunlo and found her brother remained calm, “Brother Yunlo, he may not be able to beat you.”

“It’s not bad to be low-key before the Hundred-Eyed Demon takes form,” Jindai Yunlo smiled, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened, “Unexpected events in plans are normal; this world is full of surprises. Let’s go, we need to meet Yun Xiu.”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the girl’s hair, gently calming her down.

The night grew quiet.

Many events happened tonight, yet it was as if nothing had actually occurred.

Jindai Yunjue, Jindai Yunwu were dead.

Jindai Yunye also retreated quickly, clutching his severed arm as he walked down a small alley, heading towards Dotonbori Hoshisan Temple.

Though Qing Chen had escaped, everyone knew that there was still an A-Class earth-element Awakener in Osaka. If this master got entangled with them again, they would likely not make it back to the Inner World.

At Hoshisan Temple, Jindai Yunxiu was waiting for him as agreed.

Seeing Yun Xiu, Jindai Yunye let out a breath of relief, “Save me quickly, if I receive surgery in time, my arm can still be saved.”

Jindai Yunxiu smiled and said, “There’s no need.”

In an instant, the midnight bell of Hoshisan Temple rang.

Jindai Yunye saw the smile on the other’s face and felt a chill all over, then turned to flee.

…

…

In the dark underground bomb shelter of Osaka City Hall.

The Mysterious Business Department brought in new corpses, including Jindai Yunwu, Jindai Yunye, and Jindai Yunjue.

When the bomb shelter was empty.

Jindai Sorajima, wearing white plastic surgical gloves and holding a delicate scalpel, dug out the eyes of the three deceased chosen ones and handed them to Jindai Yunlo, “Brother Yunlo, congratulations, you got another three pairs.”

The enormous Hundred-Eyed Demon behind Jindai Yunlo floated over and inserted the three pairs of eyes into its arms.

The next moment, six eyeballs were wrapped in the fair arm, rotating flexibly as if they hadn’t been dug out from others.

Many in the Federation knew that the Hundred-Eyed Demon would advance to its final form once it collected one hundred pairs of eyes, becoming the supreme shikigami.

Even ATS-001 “Ibaraki doji” might not be its match.

But people didn’t know how exacting the requirement for those hundred pairs of eyes was; it only collected complete eyeballs from B-Class or higher Transcendents.

And Jindai Yunjue, Yunwu, Yunye, in essence, were Time Travelers of the Outer World; their bodies wouldn’t return to the Inner World after death.

A sweet, bloody scent lingered in the bomb shelter, and Jindai Yunlo said, “Jindai Yunjue and Jindai Yunwu were killed by that Master of Daytime. Their level of sacrifice to the Cloud Mirror should extend the observation time and range. Use these two bodies sparingly to keep him here.”
