Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1844: Chapter 968: Even Just One Last Glance_2

”Why do you know so many children’s songs?” Da Yu asked after a long pause.

Zard reminisced for a moment, ”Xiao Yu liked listening to them. When he was in the mental hospital, he was often scared and couldn’t sleep, so I sang lullabies to put him to sleep. Xiao Yu was as adorable then as he is now. But every time I think about how his cuteness is because his life stopped at six years old, I feel a bit sad.”

This never-serious Zard became unusually solemn for once. Or perhaps, at critical and dangerous moments, he always forced himself to be normal.

Da Yu remained silent for a long time. ”It’s lucky Xiao Yu has you around. So, you really want that Red Longsword because Xiao Yu would surely like it, right?”

Zard thought for a moment and replied, ”Yeah.”

Da Yu asked, ”Do you sympathize with Xiao Yu?”

Zard suddenly said, ”I’m not playing with Xiao Yu because I pity him, but because playing with him makes me happy. If it weren’t for Xiao Yu, maybe I would have become someone like Zhong Yu, taking revenge on the relatives who seized my family’s assets, killing them all.”

The next moment, Da Yu opened his eyes and looked ahead. In the darkness beyond the transparent glass prison door, a young man was slowly approaching: ”I’m curious, Chen Yu, do you not value your mother’s life? She’s in my hands, yet you still teamed up with Qing Chen to scheme against me. Humans usually have special feelings toward their mothers. Don’t you have any humanity?”

Da Yu sneered, ”Are you qualified to talk to me about humanity? You’re not even human, so what humanity can you discuss? You don’t know my anger because you don’t have a mother. But even if I want to save her, I can’t disregard the sacrifices of so many people and ruin their hard-earned victory.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zard began to sing, ”Everything tastes better with Mom around, children with mothers are like treasures... children without mothers are like grass...”

Da Yu: ”...”

Puppet Master: ”...”

Even this can be used to insult someone!

Da Yu stood up and faced the Puppet Master through the glass of the prison cell: ”This world will never belong to you, you will surely lose. Go!”

He took out bags of Yu Yan from the space ring. Those pure white origami Yu Yan fiercely crashed into the specially made glass door like bullets, one after another.

Under the impact of Yu Yan, even glass prison doors that A-Class experts could hardly break began to quickly show web-like cracks!

Yu Yan collided at the same spot until their bodies shattered and fell to the ground.

The Puppet Master watched as the cracks spread like ice, yet he remained unruffled, smiling as he said, ”These Southeast Seven Cities all belong to me. Do you really think you can break free?”

”How will I know if I don’t try?” Da Yu replied coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the glass finally shattered under the repeated collisions, and over six hundred remaining Yu Yan flew out through the opening, shredding the Puppet Master into a bloody figure.

But even now, the Puppet Master still smiled, ”I hope you understand what’s waiting for you. Also, your actions will make your mother pay a corresponding price. Since you’re unable to cooperate with me, I’m now more interested in the taboo artifact in your possession capable of restoring paintings... I’ve inquired in North America, that taboo artifact is called the Saint’s Death Shroud, right?”

After saying this, the Puppet Master simply fell backward, silent.

Yu Yan flew to the end of the secret prison corridor, crashing into the cell switch, the sound of hydraulic transmission echoed, and the cell opened.

Da Yu didn’t rashly walk out. He shredded all 25 of his paintings at once, wrapped them in the Death Shroud, and stored them in the space ring.

”Let’s go, Zard,” Da Yu commanded, deploying Demon King Kong, the Flying Goddess, Qing Chen, and Uncle Li Dong, revealing all his cards!

No guards or mechanical prison guards posed a match for them.

The secret prison was located underground, and when they fought their way up from the bottom, they found themselves not in the suburbs, but in the busy streets of the Fourth District of City 7.

The doors opened to a bustling crowd.

Zard curiously asked, ”Where are we going? Are we rescuing your mother or killing straight out of town?”

Da Yu hesitated.

Ask how many sons in this world can directly abandon their mothers? They are the ones who raised you, who would remind you to wear an extra layer when it’s cold, and fear you might go hungry outside.

She sometimes loves you in ways you don’t like, nags you, and misses you while complaining.

Sometimes you want to distance yourself from her, but it’s only when she’s truly gone that you realize how precious familial love is.

However, Da Yu was well aware he couldn’t rescue his mother, Chen Ningzhi. The Puppet Master surely had made all the preparations.

Zard looked at Da Yu, ”Go save her.”

Da Yu: ”Hmm?”

Zard lowered his head and said, ”When I was a child, my parents went back to the hometown for Qingming to sweep the graves, and they asked if I wanted to go. I thought it was boring, so I didn’t go. I even had a fight with my mom over it. Later, when I heard they had an accident, I kept thinking, if only I hadn’t argued with her. The last memory she had of me was an argument... Every time I remember this, I feel guilty.”

Da Yu suddenly realized, Zard’s mental issues weren’t caused by his parents’ departure, but by this extreme guilt, which led to his abnormality!

Since then, Zard has faced the world with irreverence, with an attitude that treats nothing seriously, as if it were his armor.
