Night’s Nomenclature

At this moment, Qing Chen finally determined that Li Yinuo truly loved Nan Gengchen.

But different from the passionate feelings girls usually had for the person they loved, Li Yinuo's feelings for Nan Gengchen… were clearly of the protective and doting kind!

Li Shutong asked, "I saw you pulling another boy into the car before, and that boy later followed this Nan Gengchen fella. Who's that boy?"

Li Yinuo calmly answered, "I won't hide it from you, I found out that he's a time traveler, a top student in the Outer World, the kind that managed to go to university."

Nan Gengchen helplessly explained, "In our world, being able to go to university isn't as big of a deal as it is over here…"

Sure enough, Li Yinuo had already known that Nan Gengchen was a time traveler, thought Qing Chen.

But she didn't seem to be aware of the fact that he and Nan Gengchen knew each other. It had to be said that although Nan Gengchen couldn't keep his own secrets, he was extremely careful about keeping his friends' secrets.

It was as if he was an entirely different person!

Li Yinuo continued speaking, "I promised to give that top student some remuneration in exchange for him to serve my baby and helping him cover up his identity. On top of it, I also worry about some minxes in the Outer World seducing my baby and bringing him a bad influence, so I got that guy to watch over him."

Nan Gengchen: "???"

Qing Chen: "???"

Truth be told, they really didn't expect Li Yinuo to have this kind of worry!

Your baby was not such a hot commodity in the Outer World!

Hearing himself constantly being called ‘baby', Nan Gengchen felt like dying a little.

The walkie-talkie suddenly rang with Xiao Gong's report, timely saving Nan Gengchen's face. "Miss Yinuo, we have reached the outskirts of Forbidden Land No. 002, but another convoy has already been parked neatly ahead of us, and it seems like there's currently no one inside the cars."

Li Yinuo frowned, "Whose convoy?"

"Our drone is approaching," Xiao Gong said, "I saw it, it's the convoy of the Qing Corporation! Miss Yinuo, there's nobody around the convoy, it seems that Qing Huai has entered Forbidden Land No. 002 ahead of schedule. The information we previously received is false."

Wang Bingxu added, "Looking at the number of vehicles, he should be accompanied by a troop of fully equipped field operations team, and they're even bringing along mechanical dogs."

Li Shutong glanced at Qing Chen with a smile and whispered: "Look at how powerful the backers of your competitors are, whereas you have none. Your teacher is really worried for you."

Qing Chen replied to him with a blank expression, "Don't I have you with me? Teacher, you're more than enough to take them on by yourself."

"Makes sense," Li Shutong nodded.

Qing Huai came to Forbidden Land No. 002 in order to complete his task for the Fight for the Shadow.

What was a Shadow? A true Shadow was someone who could make his move undetected.

Many people thought he would only arrive in Forbidden Land No. 002 tomorrow, but nobody knew that he had already gone inside today.

The vehicles of the Autumn Hunting team stopped and parked next to those military off-road vehicles. Military vehicles were all equipped with iris scanners, and ordinary people would not be able to steal them.

Lugging Zhou Xuan — the time traveler — along, Wang Bingxu walked to Li Yinuo's side. "What do you plan to do next?"

"Xiao Gong, what's the current location of the wilderness people behind us?" Li Yinuo asked.

"They're still 2 kilometers away, but they're speeding up now. Looks like they want to block us from entering the Forbidden Land!" Xiao Gong reported.

"Withdraw all the drones and send them into the Forbidden Land," ordered Li Yinuo.

After saying that, she turned to look at Li Shutong.

Shockingly, she saw that Li Shutong and Qing Chen, who was supposed to be standing behind her, were now gone.

Li Yinuo turned towards Qin Cheng's group. "Where are those two people?"

"I don't know," Qin Cheng confusedly replied, "I was looking at the cars of the Qing Corporation just now, I really didn't notice when they disappeared."

Li Yinuo quickly glanced at everyone else, but they were all just as dumbfounded.

No one knew when those two disappeared, and it was obvious that they never intended to tell other people that they were going to leave.

It was as if the both of them had never been there in the first place.

Li Yinuo frowned — they could only rely on themselves now.

The hum of drones was approaching from the north, the wilderness people were arriving!

Those drones were frantically pursuing a black off-road vehicle which was carrying the few remaining members of the Kamidai Family.

Li Yinuo took a moment to think and said to Wang Bingxu, "We'll go ahead and hide first. I'll observe the situation before deciding if we're going to look for Qing Huai or not. By the way, send out a distress signal to tell the nearby Li Corporation army to come here and reinforce us."

The forest of the Forbidden Land was even denser than what they had expected.

The crowns of the trees were like one huge solid roof, almost completely isolating the sunlight from penetrating inside.

The darkness of the forest formed a complete contrast to the land bathed by light of the rising sun, looking as though they existed in different worlds.

It was as if you had to accept the law of another world the moment you were to step in.

Mysterious, and unpredictable.

Li Yinuo was hesitant.

But at this moment, the car of the Kamidai Family brazenly sped into the forest.

It didn't stop until it crashed into a tree.

As a result of the crash, all the airbags in the car were deployed. Kamidai Josuke and Kamidai Ori quickly jumped out of the wreck and ran into the forest without even looking back.

"Everybody, go in," Li Yinuo commanded,

"For now, we'll avoid the wilderness people and wait for rescue to come. Forbidden Land No. 002 is a rather special place, those wilderness people might not be willing to enter."

Here, it didn't matter whether you were the hunter or the prey because everyone would become the prey of the Forbidden Land.

Everyone rushed into the forest, and the instant they stepped into the Forbidden Land, they felt a terrifyingly cold breath sweeping through their bodies, as if a huge existence was staring right at them.

All of the hairs on their bodies stood up.

This was the sensation one would feel upon entering any Forbidden Land. It would make you realize that you must revere this place.

After Li Yinuo and her entourage entered the forest, Kamidai Josuke and Kamidai Ori gradually mingled into their team.

The good news was that the convoy of wilderness people had really stopped outside of the Forbidden Land and temporarily gave up on chasing them.

"Stop," Li Yinuo raised her hand, signaling those no-good corporation wastrels — who were already panting in exhaustion — not to advance any further.

But a wail abruptly echoed behind a tree, from which a boy from the Chen Corporation staggered out while clutching his own neck. His eyes were bulging and his face had turned crimson, and soon, he slowly fell to the ground.

It was as if he had strangled himself to death.

The rules.

At this moment, everyone immediately recalled a sentence: the only thing you must abide by after entering a Forbidden Land was its rules.

This was the case for every outsider who came in.
