Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 244: Gunfight in the Building

In Qing Chen’s plan, he was supposed to secretly infiltrate this building with Li Changqing, then hide somewhere the assassins couldn’t find, waiting for Li Changqing’s reinforcements to arrive and wipe out these assassins.

This building is densely populated, with numerous rooms. Even if the assassins want to find someone, it will take some time, so he always thought this plan was solid.

But now, he inexplicably brought Li Changqing directly to the mastermind.

Then Li Changqing suddenly attacked the mastermind, shattering the front floor-to-ceiling windows.

When the mastermind fell from the air, he didn’t forget to use the woman as a shield, even telling other assassins through the communication channel that there was another person in the room.

This kind of enemy is ferocious. The mastermind knew instantly in the air that he was doomed, so he stopped wasting time struggling and chose to make Li Changqing and the others pay the price.

Qing Chen felt like he had stirred a hornet’s nest. Dozens of assassins in the entire building rushed towards him like killer bees.

Will Li Changqing come back to save him?

Maybe, maybe not, but Qing Chen never gambled on others.

His life is his own, so he will fight for it himself.

He didn’t rush out, but first squatted down and tightened his shoelaces, then directly dropped the sniper rifle and drew his pistol.

Sniper rifles are good things, but although Qing Chen is greedy for money, he doesn’t cling to it. At this time, he certainly couldn’t carry such a heavy weight into narrow terrain combat.

In narrow corridors, pistols are definitely the best to use.

If Li Changqing were present, he might find that Qing Chen’s temperament had completely changed, like a cold machine.

The boy stood at the door, holding his breath, waiting for something.

The next moment, he directly raised his hand and pulled the trigger on the door.

The bullet pierced through the door and roared out, as if prophetically piercing the chests of two assassins outside the door.

Qing Chen calmly opened the door and walked out, quietly taking the assassin’s pistol from the corpse.

He flicked his wrist, and the Marionette’s transparent silk thread pierced into one assassin’s heart. It was like a sacrifice. The assassin’s body, clothes, and even the blood splattered on the wall seemed to be erased, turning into ashes in the air, leaving no trace.

That was a kind of world rule descending, using flesh and blood to meet the containment conditions.

In the past, Qing Chen had deliberately ‘shielded’ the Marionette’s evil containment conditions, never deliberately creating opportunities for himself to kill.

However, he would definitely not let go of those who came to him.

To be cautious, Qing Chen only sacrificed one of the two corpses to avoid being noticed.

Footsteps came from the end of the long corridor. He walked towards the sound, silently calculating the footsteps. When the other party poked their head out, Qing Chen had already raised his right arm and fired three shots in succession.

The assassin’s arm holding the gun, eyebrow, and chest, three shots were all accurate.

Everything was calculated so well, as if the assassins were sending their heads to him on time.

Qing Chen entered the safety passage, but he didn’t rush down, instead going upwards.

No one had taught him how to handle a gunfight in a building, but he knew one thing: here, he must overcome the animal’s weak instincts.

At this moment, all the assassins believed that this building was their home ground, so Qing Chen should flee downwards and join Li Changqing and the others.

But he didn’t do that.

Return Countdown 97:00:00

11 pm.

This building is like another magnificent octagonal cage. Everyone can pick up weapons to fight, but this time, the beasts Qing Chen has to Face^[-] are a bit numerous.

Qing Chen removed the magazine from the assassin’s firearm, confirmed it was full, and then reinserted it into the chamber.

He used his feet in a strange way, walking silently in the stairwell.

In the dim emergency passage, only the emergency lights were on. The boy’s eye sockets were immersed in the shadows of darkness.

Two assassins were rushing downstairs at full speed. They never expected Qing Chen to do the opposite and appear here.

Qing Chen raised his hand and pulled the trigger twice. Before the two assassins could even raise their muzzles, there was a hole in each of their foreheads.

But he didn’t relax, instead quickly retreating.

The next moment, the place where he stood was hit by more than ten bullet holes.

Behind the two assassins, someone was shooting from the gap in the metal handrail of the stairs.

Qing Chen didn’t even look, and continuously pulled the trigger in the other party’s blind spot. However, the assassin had been hiding in the dark, and none of the bullets hit him.

With a click, the boy’s firearm jammed. He coldly pressed the mechanism with one hand, ejected the magazine, and prepared to replace it with a new one.

The enemy on the stairs heard the sound of the magazine being ejected from the gun and jumped down from the middle of the stairs.

But when he jumped down, he found that the boy in the darkness had already continuously pulled the trigger.

Gunfire erupted, like fireworks appearing in the night.

The assassin’s body instantly became numb. He staggered and fell on the stairs, like a rag bag.

Before he died, he saw Qing Chen holding an empty gun in his left hand and a gun he had just taken from the assassin in his right hand.

Compared to the speed of changing magazines, changing guns is faster.

Qing Chen deliberately made the sound of changing the magazine, letting the empty magazine fall to the ground, just to lure the assassin on the stairs out.

There is a very fierce technique in the octagonal cage: when your strength is not enough to hit your opponent, then trick your opponent into hitting you. The opponent’s rushing head, meeting your striking fist, will be double the strength.

If you can’t quickly eliminate the enemy, then learn how to let the enemy rush up and hit your gun muzzle.

Qing Chen calmly pulled out the Marionette. The transparent silk thread was like a small snake, greedily sucking life.

He watched the thread turn red, then turned transparent again as the corpse turned into ashes.

In just two battles, sacrificing three people, the transparent branches grew 33 centimeters.

If there are a few more battles like this, the Marionette will soon be able to control a second person. This is still Qing Chen’s controlled speed. If this thing falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, they might secretly slaughter people to meet the containment conditions.

“It’s really an evil forbidden artifact,” Qing Chen sighed.

At this time, the assassins in the building already knew that the boy who had just beheaded them was not going downstairs, but was killing upwards.

For a time, the assassins swarmed upwards.

The boy stood in the stairwell, quietly listening to the footsteps coming from below. This time, he didn’t continue to go up, but turned around and went down.

In a few steps, Qing Chen’s Face^[-] had changed into the appearance of an assassin who had turned into ashes…

…

…

At this moment.

On the long street, at the two trucks blocking the roads, densely packed Federation soldiers suddenly appeared. They were fully armed and steadily advancing, quickly clearing the battlefield.

The assassins who had surrounded Li Changqing’s convoy were instantly surrounded.

The moment the two sides made contact, the assassins, who had no cover, were harvested by the well-organized army, falling down in groups.

Old Six saw this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, blood was gushing from his already half-disabled right leg, but even so, Old Six was still loyal and limped towards the place where Li Changqing fell: “Boss, are you okay, Boss? Wasn’t Qing Chen protecting you? Where is he?”

Li Changqing, hearing this, suddenly looked towards the building: “Damn it, his position is exposed!”

The building is not soundproof, so after the gunshots on the ground gradually subsided, everyone could still vaguely hear gunshots from the building. They were not dense, but unusually rhythmic.

Old Six reacted. Qing Chen was fighting with someone!

Li Changqing suddenly picked up a scattered automatic rifle from the ground and turned to walk towards the building.

Old Six was scared out of his wits: “Boss, the street is safe. Don’t go in there to take risks. If something happens to you, the eldest and second masters of the Li Family will definitely send me to the wilderness to pick corn!”

“No,” Li Changqing glanced at Old Six’s injured right leg and said, “Wait for treatment here, I’ll go alone. Qing Chen’s position in the building has been exposed, I can’t leave him alone. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Speaking, Li Changqing had already dashed into the building.

Old Six wanted to follow, but the wound on his leg was torn, almost causing him to fall. He roared at Wang Bingxu, who was hiding behind an off-road vehicle: “You bastard, don’t hide anymore, hurry up and go in and see, if anything happens to the Boss, I’ll skin your lover when I get back!”

Wang Bingxu, hearing this, immediately emerged from behind the off-road vehicle. He followed Li Changqing’s pace, muttering, “I’m not afraid of war, what are you yelling about! Are you trying to make it seem like you, Old Six, are more loyal than others?!”

Li Changqing and Wang Bingxu planned to go straight to the 12th floor to find Qing Chen.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the room where the mastermind was originally located, they found that the door was open, and a corpse lay outside. This was the first battlefield.

Wang Bingxu took a quick look and immediately analyzed, “The person in the room fired directly without opening the door. It was very decisive.”

Li Changqing didn’t say a word and walked towards the safety passage. As soon as he searched for two floors, he found the second battlefield.

A corpse lay crookedly here, and the walls of the corridor were full of chaotic bullet marks.

Wang Bingxu felt strange, “This assassin was clearly shot in the head, why are there so many bullet casings scattered around, and so many bullet marks on the wall? What’s even stranger is that Boss, your… should have come out of the room and entered the stairwell of the safety passage, but he didn’t go down to meet you, but went up…”

Li Changqing pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then coldly said, “Keep looking up!”

At this moment, they clearly heard gunshots coming from downstairs.

Both of them were puzzled. What kind of route did Qing Chen take? They came to the building to save people, but they couldn’t even find the other party’s shadow!
