Naming Technique of the Night

"So why did this clearance plan lead to the exposure of your identity?" Qing Chen asked.

Li Tongyun thought for a moment and asked, "Big brother Qing Chen, you didn't ask me right away what the clearance plan actually is, so you must also know the contents of this plan, right?"

Qing Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You're quite sharp-witted!"

The young girl had previously deduced that he was a Time Traveler merely from Qing Chen's reaction to spying on Kunlun.

Now, she had caught a loophole in a sentence and speculated that Qing Chen already knew about the clearance plan.

This logical reasoning and attention to detail, even a high school student like Liu Dezhu probably couldn't manage.

Qing Chen said, "I know about the existence of the clearance plan and the general content; you can continue."

"Okay," Li Tongyun obediently nodded her head: "The clearance plan of Li's Financial Group isn't starting just yet because the Time Travelers are a bit too weak, mostly just Ordinary People. Moreover, brainwashing the Time Travelers also takes some time, and they might train them into a force, which will take a few months.

They say, without undergoing training, these Time Travelers would have no loyalty, and even if their rank is forcefully elevated, they would still be useless with ranks, easily killed in minutes."

Qing Chen nodded—this was in line with the positioning of 'strategic resources.' If they rashly used this batch of Time Travelers, the casualty rate would be too high, and some of Li's despicable plans might fail.

"Doesn't the Li Clan plan to equip them with mechanical limbs? It's the fastest way to enhance strength," Qing Chen said.

"No," Li Tongyun shook her head: "Equipping mechanical limbs is too conspicuous; it's impossible to pass security checks smoothly in the Outer World, and it will be subject to forced registration. Any activities in different locations will be monitored, which doesn't fit Li's expectations."

"They've thought it through very thoroughly," Qing Chen commented: "So, they chose Genetic Potions?"

"The annual production of Genetic Potions is very limited and quotas must be given to the direct lineage troops and members of the Clan, so for now, only a few dozen Time Travelers can be injected, but they have decided to complete the injections for all Time Travelers within three months," Li Tongyun explained.

"Being injected and still F-Class, do they plan to elevate to which level?" Qing Chen asked.

"Elevate to D-Class," Li Tongyun replied: "This is the average level for the special forces of the Inner World."

"Then there's plenty of time," Qing Chen said: "There must be an interval of one month for Genetic Potion injections, so the clearance plan won't start for another three months."

"But before the clearance plan, they will have a preliminary plan," Li Tongyun said: "The Li Clan will send a few Time Travelers to steal the household registration information of the Outer World in the near future, to search for information and determine the assassination targets of the clearance plan."

Qing Chen frowned.

Indeed, to execute the clearance plan, to kill those with the same name and surname, it is necessary to know first how many people with the same name and surname there are, and where they are located.

All this information is available in the nationwide household registration network!

And with the household registration database, the assassination targets of the clearance plan will be much clearer!

In this world, there are many people with the same name and surname. If there's someone named Li Xiang in the Li Clan, they might have to kill hundreds or even thousands to complete the mission.

But with the household registration database, it won't be so troublesome, just match the pictures.

Qing Chen knew very well that with the Inner World's level of technology, those people could easily break into the Outer World's public security household registration database with just a small device.

It's not that the security level of this household registration database isn't high enough, but that the opponent has technology that surpasses the times!

"Wait a minute, Time Travelers are that obedient?" Qing Chen wondered, but he quickly figured it out: "Also, there will always be those who defect on their own, to use the power of the Li Clan to enhance themselves. It's another way to cling to the powerful, but the benefit comes at the cost of the lives of innocent people."

Li Tongyun explained, "However, those Time Travelers don't know any hacking techniques, and they are not very familiar with the operation of this information database either. They can only take the devices provided by Li and find the access to the household registration database, directly copying the data with devices that run automatically."

The young girl continued, "If Li gets hold of this household registration information, they will probably screen the entire Li Clan first. By then, my name, age, and photo will all match, and I will probably be exposed."

Qing Chen sighed, he didn't expect to encounter such a tricky situation as soon as he returned: "When is this plan to steal household registration information going to be executed?"

"Very soon, but I don't know the exact time. It could be this return or the next," Li Tongyun explained: "I'm too young. The advantage is that they won't deliberately avoid talking in front of me; the disadvantage is I can't ask directly."

He asked, "Where are you in the Inner World right now?"

Li Tongyun said, "Before returning, I made the excuse of going out to play. Currently, I'm in District 1 of City 18's Night Walk Street. There's a student protest going on; the crowd is huge, and I can blend in at any moment. But I have two bodyguards following me; I'm not sure I can shake them off."

Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect you to be so cautious, knowing how to save yourself. No worries, if they succeed, you try to get rid of the bodyguards first, and then I will find a way to have someone pick you up. At the very least, I won't let you fall into the hands of the Li Clan to suffer."

But before being exposed, it's still better to resolve this matter within the Outer World!

After all, the leak of the information database involves all Time Travelers of the Outer World.

If the Li Clan gets their hands on it, they will soon be able to check the entire Inner World!

"Big brother Qing Chen, what do we do now?" Li Tongyun asked in a low voice.

After the Outer World's invasion of the Inner World, the cross-dimensional conflict finally reached its greatest turning point.

The corporation's response was too sudden; they were showing everyone with their actions that the Inner World was not a lamb to be slaughtered at will.

However, this was the real face of the corporation, ready to open its gaping maw and bare its sharp fangs when in danger.

Qing Chen looked at Li Tongyun and said, "This matter is beyond our control now; I need to find a way to convey the message to Kunlun."

...

Always complained about being too short, today I am presenting a big chapter of ten thousand words...

Suddenly I feel like my update volume has skyrocketed...

So tired, I need the comfort of monthly tickets.

Also, I just attended the China Literature Festival and won the grand prize of the Annual Honor Writer, thanks to the friends who voted for me in the previous phase!
