Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1963: Chapter 998: The Final Journey (End)

When City No. 10 was locked down to search for puppets, Zong Cheng’s main body in the Outer World possessed a non-Time Traveler, who was the security personnel that leaked information to the Polar Night organization during Qing Chen’s last life-and-death crisis.

Because it was the main body, the syringe was useless against him: the main body was not considered a mental contamination.

Now, Zong Cheng’s main body had moved back to the Inner World, sitting without any concerns across from the old man, smiling as he explained, “There’s no point in trying to kill me; even if I die, I will just transfer to another puppet.”

After speaking, he looked up at the ceiling beam, where Qing Ji’s son, Qing Wu, sat expressionlessly staring at him.

At this moment, heavy snow began to fall outside, and the temperature plummeted.

The silent servant brought in a small red clay stove, placing it by their feet.

Zong Cheng suddenly said somberly, “You must be very worried about Qing Chen now, but over these six hundred years, no one has ever cared about me. You have families, but I don’t. From birth, this world has not been fair to me. Occasionally, after controlling a puppet, I would experience familial affection hiding among the common folk, but I know, a fake is a fake.”

The old man thought for a moment and said, “That’s indeed regrettable.”

Zong Cheng smiled, “Old man, soon everything will be revealed, let’s wait here together… Another game?”

“Another game.”

…

…

Qing Chen kept walking in the Grey Foggy World, which seemed endless, save for the grey mist and transparent walls.

The grey fog seemed boundless, and he was like a lonely traveler with no way home.

“This place is…” Qing Chen pondered, “Is this my consciousness world?”

He suddenly realized that the indomitable will of the Parents’ Meeting members was like a key that finally allowed him to see the source of the seal. The invisible wall was his Sealing Shackles.

Behind the invisible wall should be the spiritual will he wanted to smuggle out of the original world.

He stopped, pounding on the invisible wall with all his strength, and the entire Grey Foggy World gradually echoed with a deafening thud.

But no matter how he tried, the invisible wall remained intact.

Qing Chen weakly leaned against the invisible wall, sitting down to watch the boundless Grey Foggy World in front of him.

He didn’t know how to break the seal, nor, for a moment, did he know how to leave this Grey Foggy World, as if he were trapped here.

But then, he suddenly heard Xiao Qi’s voice in his ear: “Try again!”

The people he once influenced were now influencing the ‘back to the origin’ him in return.

Qing Chen was stunned, then slowly stood up to face the invisible wall, starting to pound on it again.

Even though it seemed useless, Qing Chen never gave up.

Outside the consciousness world, Xiao Qi saw Qing Chen suddenly close his eyes, standing still and motionless.

Even with the beast soldiers approaching, Qing Chen seemed completely unaware.

Xiao Qi realized something and shouted back, “Lao Luo, take the boss and leave. He might be breaking through the seal! Get him out of here, don’t let him get hurt!”

Luo Wanya rushed over, picked up Qing Chen, and retreated, but he only went back a short distance before handing Qing Chen over to Hu Jingyi: “Carry your master and protect him! If we can’t hold them, run as far as you can!”

With that, Luo Wanya rushed back to the front line to fight off the onslaught of the army of the dead alongside the Parents’ Meeting members.

The army of the dead came too fiercely this time, like reaching the end of a game only to face a hell difficulty level, starting over just after barely healing, replenishing mana, and recovering from injuries.

Parent Association Members were dying one by one, and more than half of the Fire Pit Hanzi were also lost.

The army of the dead was like mountains and seas.

From a bird’s-eye view, this army stretched for ten kilometers, and in front of them, the final defense line looked like a lone island in the ocean.

Qin Yiyi wielded the Black Knife fiercely, slashing at everything, and any of the dead that encountered the blade immediately disintegrated.

Jiacuo God’s Child always followed behind her, recalling the first time he saw this stubborn girl on the Great Snow Mountain.

That day, returning from a hunt, Jiacuo God’s Child saw Qin Yiyi curled up in the snow from the car and called out loudly, “Why are you here?”

Qin Yiyi stubbornly glared at him, as if looking at a villain in the wilderness, without saying a word.

That stubborn gaze was something he would never forget, like an enduring flower on the Holy Mountain.

From that day on, Jiacuo God’s Child liked to follow Qin Yiyi.

Qin Yiyi wanted to go to Taboo Land No. 8, so he went with her to Taboo Land No. 8.

Qin Yiyi wanted to go north to save Qing Chen, so he went with her to save Qing Chen.

At that moment, a figure in black robes emerged from the army of the dead, having its head severed by Wang Xiaojiu, yet it accurately found Qin Yiyi on the defense line and charged at her under the cover of the army of the dead!

“Watch out!” Jiacuo God’s Child shouted as he rushed closer.

But the corpse of the old monster Drama Master came too fast, and Jiacuo God’s Child roared, manifesting his Divine Cow Dharma to charge at it, but the Drama Master’s corpse seemed to have preempted everything and merely stepped back slightly to dodge the Divine Cow Dharma.

At the next moment, the old monster Drama Master pounced again.

Yet it was precisely that brief dodge that gave Jiacuo God’s Child the chance to reach Qin Yiyi’s back.

In an instant, the old monster’s skeletal hand penetrated Jiacuo’s heart.
