Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1677: Chapter 886: The Drama Master Intervenes

Countdown to return: 168:00:00.

The world lit up again.

In the forest, Lao Er felt that he had just regained control of his body for a moment.

But after the moment passed.

The cold thread wrapped around his hand suddenly disappeared, then wrapped back around his hand again.

He regretted deeply, it seemed the only opportunity to escape had been missed.

In fact, the crossing mechanism does affect the puppeteer.

At the moment of Qing Chen’s return, all taboo items would return with him.

So at that instant, the puppeteer would leave the puppet’s wrist and would need to reattach after he crossed over.

This instant was a flaw, if the controlled puppet was strong enough, it could accurately detect this instant and then break free.

Fortunately, Lao Er was not strong enough.

Qing Chen controlled Lao Er to walk deeper into the forest, with the main and secondary shadows moving in front. He did not plan to flee; he intended to use his own strength to hold up the main forces of Silver City in this forest.

He needed to accumulate enough power to face the Silver City Duke.

Qing Chen walked calmly in the forest and said to Lao Er, ”I just learned about Boss He’s ordeal, and I feel quite angry. I’m rarely this angry. Tonight, I’ll make sure your family leaves this world completely tidy. But don’t worry, your eyeballs will live in this world for you.”

After searching for only over ten minutes, the main shadow found traces of a campfire ahead.

Lao Si was leading a regiment and camping on the spot; this Black Knight had no intention of participating in the pursuit of Lao San.

After all, it was a theatrical play, why bother acting seriously?

He knew second brother wanted to possess Lao San, and he also knew second brother was likely to succeed because second brother had brought so many people while Lao San was alone.

But such matters would directly offend big brother, and if big brother pursued it later, he still had a regiment testifying that he wasn’t involved.

How good.

These twelve brothers, apart from Lao San, collectively had more than ten thousand schemes.

Lao Si rotated his roasted lamb leg by the campfire, which was nearly done.

Yet just then, a sentry’s voice came from the outskirts: ”Who are you?”

”It’s me,” Lao Er’s voice coldly replied.

Two figures slowly emerged from the forest; seeing who they were, Lao Si was startled and clumsily stood up: ”Second Brother! Third Brother!”

Lao Si felt something was off; second brother found third brother, why not bring him to the floating airship for possession and run here where I am?!

Lao Er replied coldly, ”Why are you slacking off here?”

Lao Si hesitated for a while: ”I’m hungry... Second Brother, why are you here?”

Lao Er coldly said, ”Lao Wu just destroyed my floating airship.”

Lao Si immediately understood that second brother’s possession equipment was eliminated... Well done, Lao Wu.

Lao Er sat by the campfire and said to Lao Si, ”Come and sit, this time I need your help to take down Lao Wu, I’ve discussed it with Lao San, we’ll use him as bait... Also, where are the other brothers, have you seen them?”

Lao Si replied while sitting down, ”I just met Lao Liu, he said he’d act for a while first, and then come for some roast lamb leg...”

Just as Lao Si sat down, he felt a cold thread wrapped around his wrist, and he lost control of his body.

Next, he saw Qing Chen casually rotating the roast lamb leg, calmly saying, ”The roast lamb leg is cooked just right.”

In his mind, Lao Si was shocked, thinking second brother was controlled by Lao San... No, this wasn’t Lao San, it’s Joker!

Qing Chen sat in the enemy-surrounded camp, slicing a piece of lamb with a knife and slowly chewing it.

Lao Er and Lao Si watched silently, feeling the opponent was too calm, as if all the soldiers here were his own.

Back in the day, were they ever this calm on the battlefield? Probably not.

Lao Si had fought for decades, at times surrounded by the enemy would still make his legs tremble.

But this Joker seemed unaffected, not caring about them at all.

At this moment, Qing Chen said while eating lamb, ”What I can’t stand most is your attitude towards apprentices. When I first came to the Inner World, without my mentor, I wouldn’t have known how to face this world. He taught me how to practice, explained the world’s truths, asked Time Travelers what fathers in the Outer World would do for their sons, then bought me a house, a car... Wait, wasn’t I actually duped? The loan isn’t paid off yet, had I not become Qing Clan House Master, I might someday end up on the credit blacklist.”

Wait, Qing Chen suddenly realized, actually, his mentor had known his identity all along, and all the loans were from Qing’s Bank, so even if he didn’t repay, it wouldn’t matter.

That old man on Ginkgo Mountain would probably be quite annoyed by Uncle Li Dong’s scheming...

Qing Chen continued, ”My mentor was indeed kind to me, so now when I think if all his kindness was to possess me one day, how terrifying that would be. Thinking of this makes me feel all of you deserve to die.”

At this point, the sound of Lao Liu’s joyful voice came from the woods: ”Fourth Brother, guess what I just saw, Lao Wu sank Second Brother’s floating airship... Second Brother!?”

Lao Er turned his head and, expressionless, looked at Lao Liu: ”Get over here.”
