Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1907 - 988: Clues (Part 2)

The door of the safe house opened, and Zero, dragging a damaged body, walked in. Her left hand was nowhere to be found, leaving only a bare wrist and exposed wiring.

Due to the hydraulic system failure, the transmission fluid leaked, rendering her entire left arm immobile.

Zero calmly said, ”Don’t worry, it’s just one of my many avatars and doesn’t possess pain sensors.”

Black Spider frowned and asked, ”What happened? Did you get ambushed while scouting, and could it lead the enemy here?”

”Rest assured, no one tracked me,” Zero replied, ”The earth’s surface remains completely sealed. Any subtle disturbance could lead to a devastating attack. We need to wait a bit longer.”

Qing Chen sat in the corner, lost in thought, while Zero turned to Yi: ”How’s the progress? Has his memory been awakened? Or perhaps more of his sealed power released?”

Yi shook her head in disappointment: ”It seems that he must see certain people or things personally to loosen the seal. However, he has recalled some things about me...”

”What did he remember?” Zero asked curiously.

”Nothing, nothing...” Yi tried to cover it up.

Originally, Yi just wanted to give it a try. Since he needs to see people or things personally, and she happens to be right in front of Qing Chen, recalling some things about her shouldn’t be too hard.

As it turns out, Qing Chen quickly remembered, but all he recalled were embarrassing memories like ’rush’ online romance meetings and ’Monopoly’ network scams in the Outer World.

Black Spider listened on the side, his face twisted from holding back laughter.

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly said, ”By the way, I also remembered when you scammed Nan Gengchen’s pocket money by developing a store in the chat system for him...”

Yi covered Qing Chen’s mouth: ”Do you have to say out loud everything you remember?!”

Zero glanced at them: ”No matter what you recall, it’s good to remember. You’re like a main branch on his memory tree now, following your memories will surely lead to many branches. Anyway, we can’t leave for now, so keep going, don’t just remember fragments, remember everything without missing a bit.”

”You’re here, I’m embarrassed to say,” Yi glanced pitifully at Zero.

Even though she hadn’t spent much time with Zero, emotionally, she was like a mother, saying some things was quite embarrassing.

Zero paused for a moment: ”I will find a way to scout the surface, you help him recall slowly.”

After speaking, Zero turned and left.

Yi breathed a sigh of relief and sat cross-legged on a supply box opposite Qing Chen, just twenty centimeters away.

She recalled earnestly: ”You definitely won’t remember the first time I met you, because back then I was just observing you through surveillance. I saw your nervous appearance when you first arrived at Prison 18 and watched Qing Zhun hiding in the shadows secretly observing you, seeing you sit at Uncle Li Dong’s table, solving the puzzle Qing Zhun left last night...”

Looking at the girl narrating before him, Qing Chen felt the blurry things gradually becoming clearer.

Yi continued: ”Later, I watched you enter the Octagon cage, thinking how much better you looked boxing in the cage than your master ever did. Boy, did they look awkward when they fought back then, getting beaten every day after the ranking game... Later, you helped me with the rush meeting, I prepared a suit, belt, and shoes based on your sizes...”

”Then you were taken to A02 base, Li Changqing used the Time Travelers controlled by the Li Family to help me hack the Jindai’s War Robot, and when I arrived at A02 base, seeing you chained in the mud, it was heartbreaking. I used the War Robot to guard beside the pigpen, assuring myself that now no one could hurt you again!”

”When you said you would take me to the West Continent, I was super excited, finally no longer under brother’s control, like sneaking out to play... err, like sneaking out to play. You found me a body and even entered the Superconductor World to earn money for a better body for me, though you got killed immediately upon entering it, yet you stubbornly spun a tale saying you had fun there for a long time.”

Yi muttered for quite a while, different from before.

Previously, her narrative’s main line was Qing Chen, detailing the occurrences surrounding him.

But this time was different, this narrative focused on her and Qing Chen, solely to help Qing Chen recall more things along this line.

Yi said, ”I was watching variety shows at home when you had Qing Ji bring me to the Giant King Court, and I thought you had forgotten about me, but you hadn’t. In the court, everyone was drinking, though I couldn’t, just feeling anxious. The Giants saw me not drinking and sent me to the kids’ table...”

As she spoke, Yi fell into her own memories, seemingly all amusing tales to her.

Qing Chen was a bit captivated by the stories, even diving into certain recollections.

...

...

”I find something strange,” Black Spider interrupted their recollections: ”Apologies, I know helping the boss find memories is crucial now, but don’t you think something feels off?”

”What do you mean?” Qing Chen asked.

He was very cautious, but after losing his memories, his analytical ability lacked many elements. He didn’t even know the combat methods of the West Continent or the robot’s structure, hence many things were hard to judge.
