Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 950: 587. Departure

Traveling through.

Returning.

It’s like a Chapter in one’s life.

The past and the future are thus clearly divided.

Even if earth-shattering events occur in the Inner World, by the moment of return, many things will start anew, welcoming unknown changes.

But this is only the fate of ordinary Time Travelers; for Qing Chen, his past and future are not divided but continuous.

Before returning, he had just finished a perilous journey; after returning, he still had to face danger.

Qing Chen continued to stand and wait on the rooftop next to Osaka Shinsaibashi.

Everyone knows, in the last hour of the countdown for the previous crossing, he suddenly appeared on the streets of Osaka City, attracting the siege of the Mysterious Business Department.

There were even many Time Travelers within the country, who took out their phones immediately upon return, logging onto Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili, waiting for the first-hand news to arrive.

They wanted to know if the Master of Daytime, who had just become famous in the Inner World, could return safely.

However, at the first moment of Qing Chen’s return, the mutation had already occurred.

The dazzling Osaka City, its center brightly lit, glowing in splendor; far away on the Shinsaibashi, tourists flow endlessly, vehicle headlights forming a galaxy on the long street.

But those Time Travelers originally heading to assassinate Qing Chen all suddenly turned into corpses.

The people that Qing Chen and Luo Wanya had killed earliest suddenly disappeared into thin air.

These people had been sacrificed by Jindai Sorajima using the Cloud Mirror, to track Qing Chen’s whereabouts.

Then those gathered and buried alive by Zard lay one by one on the streets, their mouths, eyes, nostrils, and ears filled with yellow dirt.

In just a moment, Osaka Shinsaibashi lost over seven hundred lives and gained more than six hundred corpses!

The only unchanged is the young man overlooking the world from the rooftop.

Residents in nearby buildings recorded videos, cameras pointing sometimes at Qing Chen, sometimes at the street corpses, while a few Time Travelers lurking in the shadows posted all this online.

Originally, many in the Inner World knew of the Master of Daytime’s massacre in City No. 22, but they did not know who the Master killed or why.

At this moment, the answer was revealed; the ones Qing Chen killed were those about to ambush him in the Outer World.

A world-shaking crisis in the Outer World was thus preemptively resolved by Qing Chen in the Inner World!

Those who guessed the inside story were in unparalleled shock; is this the method of the Master of Daytime?

But everyone doesn’t understand how Qing Chen accurately identified these people in the Inner World.

They didn’t know Qing Chen’s precise facial recognition drawing technique; they merely felt it was like a century magician performing an unreplicable magic trick.

Just like the 20th century’s greatest magician Houdini, who made an elephant disappear before thousands of spectators.

Aside from shock, it’s only shock.

At this moment, Qing Chen unhurriedly glanced at his arm, countdown 167:58:12.

Seven days, the long crossing and return cycle again returned to its original form.

He looked at the boundless night sky, then looked below.

If Yun Luo from Jindai wanted to kill him, now that he’s isolated, it would be the perfect opportunity.

But the bustling Osaka City suddenly quieted down.

...

...

On the streets of Osaka City, Yun Luo from Jindai carried a six-pack of beer, leisurely walking towards Shinsaibashi.

No more Time Travelers from the Mysterious Business Department attacked; they only surrounded the building without attacking.

Yun Luo from Jindai took out his phone and dialed Qing Chen’s phone: ”Hey, I know you have means to leave. But don’t rush, stay for a couple of drinks first. In the Inner World, you were cautious, refusing even a drop. Returning to the Outer World, you shouldn’t need such vigilance.”

Qing Chen stood on the rooftop and laughed: ”Shouldn’t I be wary of you?”

”Wary of me? Why,” Yun Luo from Jindai feigned surprise and said, ”Aren’t we friends?”

Qing Chen fell silent.

Yun Luo from Jindai laughed heartily: ”See, you also think I might become your friend. Rest assured, keeping me would negatively impact Jindai, which isn’t bad for me either. Though you say you and Jindai have no common interests, you and I do. Don’t leave, stay for a few drinks; I’ll take you to eat Shinsaibashi’s most famous teppanyaki wagyu!”

At this moment, Qing Chen looked at the girl flying closer in the night sky, smiling and said: ”Next time for sure.”

Yun Luo from Jindai looked up, seeing that meteor-like girl breaking through the air, admiring: ”Having a partner you can completely trust, that’s really enviable.”

”You can similarly trust Yun Xiu and Kong Yu from Jindai, can’t you?” Qing Chen laughed and said: ”If you want to drink, come to China if you dare.”

”I will go,” Yun Luo from Jindai said, ”Also, thanks for gifting those eyeballs, I’ve received them.”

The Hundred-Eyed Demon wants to collect one hundred eyeballs from B-Class superhumans, and this abandoned child of Jindai seems closer to his goal.

The story of the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s eyeball collection has persisted in the legend from the Genji era, not seen for nearly a millennium.

While speaking, Ying Ying already approached him, took his hand, and flew back into the night sky.

This return was not the expected grand battle, but rather unusually peaceful.

All that remains in Osaka City at midnight is a legend.

Yangyang asked: ”I saw Jindai Yunhe’s corpse vanish in an instant earlier, did you sacrifice it using a taboo item?”

”Mm,” Qing Chen nodded.

Now, the number of people the Puppeteer can control has increased to three!

Under the night sky, Qing Chen recalled what Jindai Yunhe had said and suddenly asked Yangyang: ”You’re already B-Class, in your eyes, am I no longer human?”

Yangyang was taken aback, then hesitated and asked: ”How did you know?”

Qing Chen sighed: ”Then what do you see when you look at me now?”

Yangyang hesitated for a long time: ”Merkaba?”

Qing Chen: ”???”

We agreed you could only see the force field, what is this Merkaba nonsense!

He was worried that in the future, when Yangyang saw him, she would only see a field of force and not his true form.

Unexpectedly, this is how Yangyang replied!

Jindai Yunlo watched Qing Chen leave, carrying a pack of beer, and continued walking towards the building.

He sat on the edge of the rooftop, his white hunting suit spotless.

Jindai Yunlo opened a can of beer, gulping it down, then burped.

Jindai Yunxiu and Jindai Sorajima came up behind him, the black-haired girl said: ”Brother Yunlo, I feel like there’s something wrong with that Jindai Yuncang. I don’t know what deal the Family Head made with him, but they let Jindai Jingyan give up his position to him.”

Jindai Yunlo smiled at Yunxiu: ”Congratulations on becoming a director, have a drink to celebrate.”

Jindai Yunxiu didn’t refuse, his muscles bulging under his suit, gripping the can like it was a drinkable potion.

”I really envy your boldness when drinking,” Jindai Yunlo praised: ”That Jindai Yuncang tried to recruit me too, but I refused. Like Kong Yu said, I also think he’s a bit strange. Logically, since he took over the ancestors’ power, entering the board, even if suppressed by the Family Head, is a must; that is not the issue. But he’s too calm, calm in a way unlike the Jindai Yuncang I know.”

”I’ll keep an eye on him,” Jindai Yunxiu said.

Jindai Yunlo nodded: ”Everyone should be cautious from now on.”

The Jindai outcast looked at the night sky, feeling a bit lonely.

Suddenly, Jindai Sorajima said: ”Brother Yunlo, we’ll always be with you.”

Jindai Yunlo smiled and patted her head: ”We still have a long way to go. By the way, I heard there’s been a non-Time Traveler awakening event in the Outer World, have you managed to control those people?”

”They’ve been controlled,” Jindai Yunxiu nodded: ”There’s no difference from the Inner World Awakeners; it seems the shackles in the Outer World have been unlocked too. One of them even became a C-Class upon awakening. I suspect that as the world’s shackles gradually loosen, A-Class chosen ones upon awakening might appear...or even someone born as an S-Class like the Shadow.”

Jindai Yunlo chuckled: ”A brilliant person like the Shadow is rare even in the Inner World, don’t worry, there won’t be one in the Outer World anytime soon.”

...

...

The incident of Qing Chen’s identity exposure continues to ferment in the Outer World.

This matter isn’t related to most Time Travelers, but it has shaken the thoughts of every single one of them, simply because what Qing Chen has done is beyond the reach of ordinary Time Travelers.

At this moment, the mysterious top player ’He Xiaoxiao’ resurfaced, releasing a new strategy; this being the first time appearing in public view since establishing a group chat system.

On TikTok, it was still dark, and the somewhat magnetic voice summarized: The new expansion pack has been updated, but this time the main update is overseas, closely related to the Island Country and the Jindai Consortium, with no new updates temporarily for the domestic side.

The main content of this update is that player Qing Chen was captured at the Northern A02 secret military base, broke through the encirclement, and reached City 22 for revenge.

Ultimately, it ended with capturing A-Class expert Jindai Yunhe and one of the Ten Eunuch, Jindai Yasuhito.

And in retaliation, the Jindai Consortium publicly revealed this player’s true identity, including the next Knight leader and Master of Daytime.

Currently, among all public test players, although player Qing Chen’s power isn’t the highest, his overall influence has already ranked first.

Next, I will choose an appropriate time to release my summary rankings of public test players.

There will be two rankings, the first is the power ranking, and the second is the influence ranking, both updated in real-time as time progresses.

Additionally, due to the frequent truancy of Time Travelers, the Outer World Kunlun Organization will establish a centralized campus to bring together all still-in-school Time Travelers, with specific details to be announced by Kunlun.

This mysterious top player still maintains a playful attitude towards life, and all the fervent discussion participants, seeing this update, finally confirmed the news from the Inner World wasn’t a rumor.

Indeed, within the Time Travelers, a person capable of influencing the historical process of the Inner World has appeared!

From this moment, Daytime has become the top-ranked Time Traveler organization alongside Kunlun and Kyushu, despite having only a handful of members.

Meanwhile, in the Daytime villa, everyone sat at the dining table, watching the news that ”Qing Chen is the Master of Daytime,” each expression varied...

Among them, Liu Dezhu’s expression was the ugliest.

He looked up and said: ”I was gossiping about the boss with the boss before, am I doomed?!”

There will be another Chapter at 11 PM
