Night's Nomenclature

Two men stopped in front of Qing Chen. One of them said calmly, “Xu Linsen, long time no see.”

As these two people walked up, everyone in the prison stopped what they were doing and looked toward them.

Everyone here was waiting for Qing Chen to speak.

Qing Chen looked at the man in front of him and was silent for a while, “…Who are you?”

The man sneered, “I’ve heard that Xu Linsen, the Ace of Spades, is arrogant, but I never thought you would be this arrogant.”

Qing Chen didn’t know how to respond. He didn’t mean to appear so arrogant but because he truly didn’t know who these people were.

In such situations, not knowing enough could be what exposes him.

But the other man next to him also sneered, “It seems that Xu Linsen, the Ace of Spades, can’t remember who I am either.”

After carefully looking at the person, Qing Chen was silent for two seconds and said, “No one under the level of demigods deserves to be remembered by me.”

Guo Huchan gasped.

The face of the man who spoke first became gloomy, “You too have just gotten to Level A. I don’t know where your confidence comes from. Even Mr. ‘Chen Yu’ dares not speak like that.”

Qing Chen asked, “Who is Chen Yu?”

Guo Huchan gasped again.

Everyone around them suddenly stopped breathing as well.

Chen Yu was the current demigod of the Chen family…

“I see,” the man suddenly laughed, “I will make sure those words reach him.”

Qing Chen first said sorry to Xu Linsen in his mind, but frankly, he didn’t have the slightest idea of who Chen Yu was.

At this moment, Guo Huchan felt an infinite sense of honor in his heart. He never thought that his boss would look down upon a demigod!

Under the leadership of his boss, the future of Spades would definitely be bright.

…

…

“Boss, aren’t we trying to poke fun out of this? But why do I feel that he is performing well right now?”

In a corner of the prison, Lin Xiaoxiao whispered.

Ye Wan nodded, “Xiao Chen never seen Xu Linsen before, but he was able to mimic Xu Linsen’s arrogance almost perfectly. No, even more arrogant than the real one.”

Li Shutong, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Ye Wan stood in the dark, silently watching this good show playing out.

Originally, the plan was to see Qing Chen messing up, and his master Li Shutong would appear to save the scene.

After all, as Qing Chen’s master, he felt very unfulfilled being around a student that could handle almost every situation calmly.

Just like a mother nagging her child to make the bed and put on more clothes, but if the child actually happens to do everything well, she would feel a bit empty, lacking presence.

Li Shutong was having this feeling, so he wanted to put Qing Chen in a difficult situation. In the end, with him, a demigod, controlling the prison, nothing could go wrong.

However, things just didn’t seem to go as planned…

Li Shutong was silent for a long time, “I’m really tempted to make the situation even more difficult for him.”

At this time, a man said, “I never thought that Ace of Spades would come in person, risking so much in this prison. Are you not afraid of Li Shutong killing you here?”

Qing Chen said calmly, “Everyone knows that Li Shutong has left Prison 18, so there is no need to waste our time arguing about that. If you aren’t certain that he has left, would you two dare to enter this prison? Everyone knows why all of a sudden hundreds of people are transferred here.”

Du Hao, the person in charge of Qing’s First House, sneered and said, “Then let’s just stop beating around the bush. No matter how arrogant you are, Xu Linsen, there are only a dozen or so of you from Spades in Prison 18. If you want to compete for ACE-002 yourself, then Xie Yinggeng and I join forces to destroy your plan, so why don’t we work together and take down Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan first.”

Xie Yinggeng, a member of the Chen Consortium.

“Do you think you are worthy of cooperating with me?” Qing Chen looked at the two of them coldly, but he suddenly found signs that the two of them were about to make a move, “I think you are worthy.”

His sudden change of tone confused everyone. Du Hao couldn’t even tell if Xu Linsen wanted to cooperate or not.

Qing Chen looked at the two of them, “When are you going to attack Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan?”

“Tonight,” Xie Yinggeng replied calmly.

The turmoil in Prison 18 gradually subsided.

Everyone was waiting for the student parade to disrupt the order outside. Two seemingly unrelated things were suddenly closely connected.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the student parade got legally approved. Some hoped to use it as a distraction.

Countdown 14:00:00.

9 hours until the agreed upon time.

In the crowd, several prisoners quietly left and walked into the restrooms.

The few of them met in the restrooms. Without exchanging any words, they went into the different stalls.

These people belonged to different organizations, and now they had to get in touch with the outside as soon as possible. They had many questions, like why no one mentioned that Xu Linsen would appear, did Li Shutong show up outside, was the student protest going as planned…

One of the prisoners rolled up his sleeves and forcibly disassembled his integrated mechanical arm, took out several parts from it, and reassembled it into a complete signal transmitting device.

However, at the next moment, all the prisoners who were in charge of communication discovered that their equipment had failed. No signal could be detected at all.

This fortress-like Prison 18 seemed to have become isolated, completely separated from City 18.

…

…

When the crowd dispersed, Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He appeared to have remained calm because he knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him at this moment.

The arrival of the Ace of Spades really touched the nerves of many.

But Qing Chen didn’t think too much about it. His only task was to muddy the water.

As Lin Xiaoxiao said before, too many prisoners were transferred this time. In just ten days, the number of prisoners in Prison 18 increased by 1,200.

Among the 1,200 people, there were people from various organizations and innocent people who had been forcibly transferred. It was impossible to tell them apart when they were mixed together.

Even if Li Shutong, as a demigod, wanted to clean up Prison 18, he wouldn’t want to indiscriminately hurt innocent people.

Therefore, he had to stir up this muddy water and make the animals inside start swimming. Only then could one tell which was a predictor.

Thinking of this, Qing Chen led Guo Huchan silently through the crowd and walked straight to Li Shutong’s room.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes came together, wanting to see what ‘Xu Linsen’ was going to do.

“Boss, where are we going?” Guo Huchan asked doubtfully.

“Taking the Forbidden Item,” Qing Chen replied calmly.

As he spoke, Qing Chen suddenly walked into an open cell, picked out a heavy book from it, and stuffed it into Guo Huchan’s hands.

Qing Chen whispered solemnly, “Run! I’ll cover you!”

Guo Huchan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran toward the North alloy gate of the prison.

Although he felt that all this was a little sudden after being handed ‘ACE-002’, such an important item, how could he have time to think about anything else?

In an instant, totems appeared all over Guo Huchan’s body, and he rushed out like a bull, with unstoppable momentum.

At this moment, nearly a thousand people in the square started to move, and some of them shouted, “Stop him, don’t let him take away the Forbidden Item!”

“He took the Forbidden Item!”

Prison 18 suddenly became chaotic. Most prisoners didn’t know what happened, and they seemed a little at a loss, but a small portion of the prisoners ran wildly with Guo Huchan.

The crowd was surging, and before Guo Huchan got close to the alloy gate, hundreds of people blocked his way ahead of time!

“Out of my way!” Guo Huchan roared and rushed into the crowd, holding the heavy book tightly in his arms.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen prisoners tragically flew into the sky as if they had been hit by a fast-moving armored vehicle.

However, just as Guo Huchan was marching forward bravely, two people came calmly from behind.

Among them, the middle-aged man named Du Hao steadily reached out. While Guo Huchan was dealing with other people, he stabbed Guo Huchan’s ribs with two fingers.

Feeling that he was attacked under his ribs, Guo Huchan’s arms loosened up slightly for an instant as the pain spread through his body.

When his arm loosened, Xie Yinggeng on the other side suddenly grabbed the edge of the book and yanked it hard!

“Don’t even think about it!” Guo Huchan’s palm the size of a copper bowl firmly grasped the book in his arms, preventing Xie Yinggeng from taking it away.

None of them would let go…

Rip…

Forbidden Item ACE-002 was torn apart…

Everyone was stunned as they looked up in a daze, unable to comprehend what just happened.

Forbidden Items were the products of the rules. How could they be ripped apart?

Forbidden Items were indestructible!

Xie Yinggeng was dumbfounded. How could he explain to his boss when he returned? Just say that he fulfilled his mission and successfully destroyed the Forbidden Item ACE-002?

If said that, he might be dispatched to the wilderness to plant corn!

Du Hao, who had attacked Guo Huchan earlier, stretched out his fingers, and caught a torn page from the air, on which was written, “Middle-age Health Knowledge Manual…”

Li Shutong in the dark: “…”

Social death! He got exposed reading such books!

“This was not a Forbidden Item at all. We have been tricked!” Xie Yinggeng roared and looked at Guo Huchan.

However, they suddenly discovered that Guo Huchan’s expression was also shocking!

The prisoners didn’t quite understand. It’s understandable for them to be shocked, but why was Guo Huchan also in shock…

Guo Huchan pushed away the crowd and turned to look for his boss, but he found that “Xu Linsen” had disappeared.

But most importantly, during this chaos, almost all of the people coming after the forbidden item were clearly distinguishable from the ordinary prisoners.
