Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 262: Wait for My Return

“Why are you willing to help us in the Inner World?” Qing Chen asked.

Zheng Yuandong said, “You are Time Travelers, and also citizens of our country. Just like when you are abroad, the embassy will still try its best to protect you, Kunlun will do the same.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and asked, “Then if we are in danger, can you protect us?”

Zheng Yuandong nodded, “Yes.”

Qing Chen said, “Then can you help us protect Zhang Cheng… cough, forget it.”

Nangeng Chen, on the side, yelled “Damn it” in his heart. He found that Brother Chen not only planned to freeload on the Li Clan’s limousine, but also intended to use Kunlun to make money!

However, Qing Chen didn’t say it in the end, after all, the other party was being sincere to him, so it would be inappropriate for him to exploit this loophole.

At this time, Qing Chen asked, “Boss Zheng, you came all the way here, didn’t you plan to ask anything?”

“No,” Zheng Yuandong turned and walked towards the outside, “The most important thing this time is to say thank you. Thank you for avenging the wrench and the hawthorn.”

The meaning of this sentence is that Zheng Yuandong confirmed that he was the killer on Laojun Mountain.

Zheng Yuandong and Qing Chen’s first formal conversation only involved some trivial matters.

But the message Zheng Yuandong released made Qing Chen think deeply.

Kunlun now strictly requires consistency and discipline among its internal members, but it maintains an open attitude towards the outside world, allowing Time Travelers to exist independently of Kunlun.

This is like a person who is gentle on the outside but tough on the inside, appearing amiable on the surface but possessing firm principles internally.

At least so far, Qing Chen has no ill feelings towards Kunlun. Everything the other party has done is as they said, without falsehood.

After Zheng Yuandong left, Qing Chen quietly entered Yang Yang’s house.

This time, there was an extra letter on Yang Yang’s pillow.

He unfolded it and took a look. The content of the letter was simple: You don’t need to take action tomorrow night, but you must stay at home.

The letter didn’t reveal how the other party would take action, only the approximate time could be judged.

Qing Chen sneered.

On the fourth day of his return, he continued to train his physical fitness with Hu Xiaoniu, Nangeng Chen, and Zhang Tianzhen, his expression as calm as if he had never received the letter.

Classes during the day, and returning home with Nangeng Chen at night.

Qing Chen didn’t even tell anyone that Huan Yu might take action tonight, nor did he warn Liu Dezhu.

Only after returning home did Nangeng Chen cautiously ask, “Brother Chen, I feel that you are unusually calm today. Is something about to happen?”

Qing Chen closed his eyes without speaking.

Just quietly waiting.

At 12 o’clock at night, Nangeng Chen curiously asked at home, “Brother Chen, you’ve been sitting here motionless for several hours, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Qing Chen said calmly, getting up and heading to Yang Yang’s house again.

Another letter appeared on the pillow: “You kept your promise, which impressed me. I will give you instructions tomorrow night.”

This was just a test. Huan Yu, the Demon Stamp holder, wanted to see if Qing Chen would really defect for the sake of Gene Medicine.

Qing Chen knew this was a test. A person who is adept at using schemes and tricks is naturally suspicious. How could he easily believe himself and then reveal important information to him?

Therefore, Qing Chen didn’t tell anyone about today’s events.

Because he knew that nothing would happen tonight, and the other party didn’t intend to take action tonight at all.

Moreover, Huan Yu wouldn’t know that the reason Qing Chen was so calm was that even if the holder took action tonight, Liu Dezhu wouldn’t necessarily suffer a loss.

Liu Dezhu is a C-class Awakened One, and a very explosive fire element one at that. He wouldn’t suffer a loss against most Time Travelers now.

This was Qing Chen’s confidence.

Qing Chen calmly replied: “I did as you said, where’s the Gene Medicine I want?”

Huan Yu replied: “What’s the rush? I didn’t bring the Gene Medicine with me either. I have to get it back after the next time travel, right? Besides, you have to finish this matter for me.”

Qing Chen replied: “If you still haven’t given me the Gene Medicine after this is done, I will kill you.”

After waiting for thirty minutes, Huan Yu didn’t reply.

Instructions tomorrow night, so the action will likely be the day after tomorrow.

Qing Chen finally relaxed. He returned to his bedroom, lay down, and carefully searched his memories.

Huan Yu wanted to confirm whether he had obediently gone home, so he must have sent someone to monitor him.

This was the second mistake the other party would make tonight, because Huan Yu didn’t know that Qing Chen possessed strong anti-reconnaissance abilities and could search his memories for clues.

Those illusory memories flickered like slides, from dawn to dusk.

It was as if Qing Chen’s mind had a fixed camera, watching the sun rise and set.

Like the ebb and flow of the sea.

“Found it,” Qing Chen opened his eyes.

A middle-aged man had appeared three times in his memory throughout the day. The man was very cautious and seemed to possess certain reconnaissance skills.

Three times might be a coincidence, but this person had never appeared in Qing Chen’s first 17 years of life, yet appeared three times consecutively recently, which is a problem in itself.

Qing Chen got up to get some water in the living room.

He had been on edge all day, only relaxing after catching that middle-aged man.

He had provoked Huan Yu in the group, wasn’t it for this moment?

“Brother Chen, what did you find?” Nangeng Chen curiously asked.

“Nothing. Is anyone talking in He Xiaoxiao’s group?” Qing Chen asked.

“No, basically every time it’s just when everyone is frantically chatting when they first return, and in the following days, there are few people talking,” Nangeng Chen said while fiddling with his phone.

Qing Chen returned to his bedroom and began his sniper training today. He was going to move the target to 1000 meters tonight.

As he was training, he suddenly heard the notification sound of his phone in the mysterious world.

Strange, who’s sending a message this late?

Qing Chen opened his eyes and saw that He Xiaoxiao suddenly sent a message in the group: “A fellow member contacted me tonight, saying that there might be violent incidents in Luo City the day after tomorrow night. Please pay attention to your own safety, and close your doors and windows before going to bed.”

Qing Chen frowned, who sent the message to He Xiaoxiao? Li Si? Yue’er? Or someone else.

If the time is the day after tomorrow, it coincides with the time the Demon Stamp holder wants to act.

Therefore, it is very likely that someone who received a letter tipped off.

This matter is highly likely related to the matter Qing Chen is facing.

And He Xiaoxiao, in order to protect the information of the person providing the intelligence, chose to help the other party remain anonymous and spoke very vaguely.

At this moment, everyone in the group became nervous. The matter that could cause He Xiaoxiao to suddenly issue a warning in the group must be very important and dangerous, and most of the members of the group have already arrived in Luo City.

They might all be involved in this crisis.

The atmosphere in the group became heavy. Qing Chen stared at the screen, Huan Yu remained silent throughout.

Stalemate.

At this moment, Nangeng Chen suddenly sent a link in He Xiaoxiao’s group chat.

Everyone looked closely, and the link clearly read: “I bought a good thing on Pinduoduo, come and help me cut the price!”

Liu Dezhu: …

He Xiaoxiao: …

Rebel King: …

Huan Yu: …

In such a serious group chat, Nangeng Chen sent such an unserious link, directly baffling everyone.

Everyone suddenly felt that everyone came to this group for serious matters, only this ‘Little Duck’ is here to joke…

Some people clicked on the link to check the buyer’s information, but could only see the ‘Little Duck’ ID and the same avatar, but no other information about the specific buyer.

Members of the Nine Provinces group can view user information through Pinduoduo company orders, but they already know Nangeng Chen’s identity, he is an open card.

Some people didn’t dare to click on the link, fearing that it was a Trojan virus, that clicking would lead to their identity information being leaked.

Lu Ya coldly said, “Group leader, kick this Little Duck out.”

However, He Xiaoxiao seemed to pretend not to see Lu Ya’s message, and didn’t respond.

Everyone realized that this ‘Little Duck’ must be important, otherwise why would He Xiaoxiao tolerate him posting such boring links in the group?

Qing Chen walked to the living room and looked at Nangeng Chen, speechless for a while before saying, “Should I cut you a knife?”

Nangeng Chen weakly said, “I saw that we were out of toilet paper at home, so I wanted to buy two packs…”

Qing Chen didn’t say much to him, but turned and went to Yang Yang’s house, wanting to see what Huan Yu, the Demon Stamp holder, would do after He Xiaoxiao’s warning in the group.

For example, whether the action would be delayed or postponed.

However, Yang Yang’s pillow was empty, the other party didn’t seem to care, and didn’t intend to change the plan.

Qing Chen frowned, removed the neatly folded quilt on Yang Yang’s bed, wanting to see if the letter was in another location.

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly found that beside the small words he had carved on the white wall by the bed, there was another line of small words.

He carved “Cattle and sheep flock together, only the tiger walks alone”, which was what he said during his most lonely moments living alone.

Under this line of small words, Yang Yang carved in a delicate font: “Wait for my return.”

Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, this was the second time he had seen this sentence.

After a long silence, Qing Chen put the quilt back in place, even restoring the folds of the quilt to the way they were in his memory.
