Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 298: Absolute Gun Sense

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a white Toyota Alphard van arrived at the Vienna Hotel in Xi'an.

It wasn't Zhou Xuan Ying's father who came, but a strange driver.

The students didn't know much about cars, but Tian Hailong had some understanding.

He knew that the Toyota Alphard was now standard equipment for many wealthy people, once known as the most expensive minivan on the market, a land-based first-class cabin...

In earlier years, this car required an additional six to seven hundred thousand yuan to purchase.

Tian Hailong glanced at Zhou Xuan Ying in surprise. He wasn't the student's teacher or class advisor, but had only come into contact with him during this trip to Xi'an, and didn't expect this student to have such a solid family background.

But none of that was important; the student's family background had nothing to do with him.

The driver got out of the car and said to Zhou Xuan Ying with a smile, "I rushed over as soon as I received the Boss's message. I didn't delay you, did I? My name is Zhao Yayu, and I'm a new driver at the factory."

Zhou Xuan Ying said politely, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Uncle Zhao, to work overtime tonight. I'm already very embarrassed."

"Don't mention it, that's what I'm paid for," the driver Zhao Yayu said with a smile. "My time isn't important, your time is what matters. You are a prodigy, every minute should be spent on studying."

Zhou Xuan Ying introduced to everyone, "This is my dad's factory driver. I heard he's a Sanda athlete, really amazing. He heard there might be danger here, so he came over proactively."

"No, no," Zhao Yayu said modestly.

Everyone looked him over. Zhao Yayu had a fierce look on his Face^[-], and some people would believe he had a past in the underworld.

Wang Jiale, Xia Xiaoran, and the others didn't care whether he had a past or not. Anyway, with someone to protect them, they felt a little more at ease.

From last night until now, they had been in a state of tension, because they didn't know if the Time Traveler's affairs would involve them.

The group got into the car, and Xia Xiaoran exclaimed, "There's even a big TV in this car? And the seats can recline! So comfortable!"

Zhou Xuan Ying laughed, "It's nothing, my dad spent over two hundred thousand yuan to customize the seats."

Xu Zimo glanced at him, suddenly feeling that she still preferred the one who didn't talk much. When a man became garrulous, it always felt a bit frivolous.

"By the way, Teacher Tian, isn't Qing Chen coming with us? I see this car has seven seats, so we should be able to take him along," Xu Zimo asked.

Zhou Xuan Ying quickly said, "There are already six of us. Of course, there's no problem taking Qing Chen along, but then his sister won't have a place to sit."

Tian Hailong hesitated for a moment, "I'll give him a call and ask. We can squeeze a bit to fit one more person."

As he said that, he made a call, but the phone rang not far away.

Everyone turned their heads in surprise and saw Jiang Xue pushing Qing Chen in a wheelchair, already at the entrance of the Vienna Hotel.

Qing Chen smiled weakly and with difficulty, "Good evening, everyone."

Jiang Xue said somewhat apologetically, "I still have some work on hand, so I'd like to trouble you all to take care of Qing Chen. Is that okay?"

Tian Hailong was taken aback, "Yes, of course. He's a student I brought, so I should take care of him."

"Oh, are you leaving?" Jiang Xue looked at the Toyota Alphard at the hotel entrance.

"Yes," Tian Hailong said, "I just called Qing Chen to ask if he wanted to come along, but with his current condition, can he endure a five-hour journey? If not, I'll stay in Xi'an to take care of him, and let the other students go back first."

Zhao Yayu suddenly said, "Yes, it's more appropriate for Teacher Tian to stay here to take care of him."

Qing Chen said with difficulty, "It's okay, my wounds have already been stitched up, my intestines won't fall out."

The other students felt uncomfortable upon hearing this, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

Only Xu Zimo didn't react much. She said to Tian Hailong, "Teacher Tian, let's lift Qing Chen into the car, and put the wheelchair in the trunk."

As she spoke, the two of them worked together to lift Qing Chen into the middle seat of the van. When Xu Zimo wanted to help Qing Chen buckle his seatbelt, Qing Chen stopped her, "No need, it will tighten the wound."

Qing Chen then said to Jiang Xue, "Aunt Jiang Xue, go ahead and get busy, the students will take good care of me."

When Zhou Xuan Ying and the others heard this, they felt a little apprehensive. Who promised to take care of you?

Only Xu Zimo said, "Yes, Auntie, I will take good care of him."

Jiang Xue heard Xu Zimo unintentionally emphasize the word "auntie', smiled knowingly, and said seriously to Xu Zimo, "Thank you for your trouble."

She knew that Xu Zimo didn't mean it, but she was just concerned about that word, so she unconsciously put emphasis on it.

As for why she cared, Jiang Xue certainly knew very well.

But she didn't care.

The car started, and the van merged into the bustling streets of Xi'an, heading west.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "Driver, I'd like to ask, aren't we supposed to be going east?"

"Yes," Zhao Yayu said with a cheerful smile, "But before we left, the Boss told me to stop by one of his friends in Xi'an to pick up some local specialties, so we'll make a detour first."

"Oh, sorry for the trouble," Qing Chen said.

At this moment, Xu Zimo next to Qing Chen whispered, "Was that woman... lady, your aunt? She looks very young, like she's only twenty-five years old."

"She does look relatively young, but I call her aunt because her ten-year-old daughter calls me brother, so I call her aunt," Qing Chen casually explained.

When Xu Zimo heard this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but she quickly realized that it was wrong and quickly pursed her lips to prevent Qing Chen from noticing anything.

Just then, the van suddenly stopped.

Zhao Yayu smiled, "I'll just load up the local specialties and we'll go."

As he said that, he opened the trunk. Qing Chen looked through the rearview mirror in the car and saw two silent young men behind the car, carrying a black box into the trunk.

However, Qing Chen's wheelchair was in the trunk, so the black box couldn't fit at all.

Zhao Yayu glanced into the car, and then, when no one was paying attention, he quietly took out the wheelchair and threw it aside.

He winked at the two young men, signaling them to lift the box up.

Qing Chen glanced at Zhou Xuan Ying, only to find that he was busy with his phone, seemingly unaware of what was happening behind him.

After the trunk door was closed, Zhao Yayu put on another amiable smile and got into the car, "Sorry, that took a little time. We'll head to the highway now, and we'll be home soon."

The van drove very fast, speeding into the night.

Xu Zimo asked Qing Chen, "How did you do the second question?"

"Using calculus," Qing Chen replied calmly.

"You taught yourself calculus too?" Xu Zimo asked in surprise, "You and I had the same approach to the problem."

Xia Xiaoran felt a little strange, "What did you choose for the first question?"

"E, the answer is five-sixths," Qing Chen replied without hesitation.

"What about the second question?" Wang Jiale asked again.

Qing Chen: "C, 30"

"What about the third question?"

"A, -1."

"What about the fifth question?"

"C, 18"

"Wait, Zhou Xuan Ying said you didn't even use scratch paper," Wang Jiale said in shock, "How did you get them all right?"

Zhou Xuan Ying was exposed for gossiping behind his back, and his expression was a little unnatural. "I was just saying it casually, worried that Qing Chen didn't do well on the exam."

Although he said that, Zhou Xuan Ying himself was wondering, he had personally seen Qing Chen answer the questions in a "prayer-like' manner, and he was the most surprised one.

However, Zhou Xuan Ying quickly understood. At three o'clock in the afternoon, various training institutions had already announced the AC10 exam questions and answers. It was normal for Qing Chen to have seen them online.

Otherwise, everyone else had to review the test paper to remember what the fifth question was, so why could Qing Chen answer without thinking?

During the conversation, the Toyota Alphard van had been driving on the highway for an hour. Zhou Xuan Ying, sitting in the passenger seat, turned back to look at Qing Chen and asked casually, "Qing Chen, did you see the questions online?"

However, Qing Chen ignored him and instead asked the driver Zhao Yayu, "Driver, why did you throw away my wheelchair when we were in Xi'an?"

Zhao Yayu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Student, what are you talking about? I didn't throw away your wheelchair, you just can't see it from your angle."

Qing Chen smiled weakly, but didn't dwell on the issue, "The thing in the trunk isn't local specialties either, is it?"

It has to be said that Forbidden Artifact ACE-005 is also excellent for feigning illness. It only needs to make one's Face^[-] pale, eyes sunken, and cheeks thin, and no matter what expression Qing Chen makes, he looks very weak.

And there's no need to worry about being exposed.

Anyone who sees it will think Qing Chen is really injured.

The front-row Zhao Yayu was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It's just local specialties."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thumping sound from the black box behind them.

There was also a wailing sound, like someone was gagged and begging for help.

Everyone in the car was stunned.

What kind of local specialties would make this kind of sound?

Zhao Yayu explained blandly, "Someone caught a small wild boar and asked me to bring it back to Luoyang. It looks like it wasn't completely killed."

Xu Zimo said solemnly, "It can't be a wild boar, you're lying."

Qing Chen smiled, "You're lying, there's a person inside."

Zhou Xuan Ying in the passenger seat hesitated for a moment and said, "What exactly is in that box?!"

The next moment, the person in the box somehow broke free from the restraints on their mouth and shouted in the box, "Help! Someone is kidnapping me!"

Zhao Yayu glanced at Zhou Xuan Ying, "Shut up. Send a message to the Boss now, saying there's been an accident."

Zhao Yayu now felt that something was wrong, because the injured person sitting behind him clearly seemed to know a lot of things, which made him a little flustered and wanted to seek support.

Zhou Xuan Ying looked at Xu Zimo in the back row in a panic and whispered, "You promised me you wouldn't expose my identity!"

"I told you to send a message to the Boss," Zhao Yayu said coldly.

"I won't send it," Zhou Xuan Ying said anxiously, "You only said to have me call my dad to provide a vehicle, you didn't say anything about kidnapping someone back to Luoyang."

Zhao Yayu took out a pistol from under his arm, driving with one hand while pointing the gun at Zhou Xuan Ying and sneering, "Send it, even if I don't kill you now, do you think you can survive when you return to the Inner World? If this mission isn't completed, everyone will die."

It wasn't until this moment that the other students in the car realized that Zhou Xuan Ying was also a Time Traveler.

Zhou Xuan Ying was stunned when he saw the dark muzzle of the gun, "My family has been providing you with domestic financial support, you can't kill me. They promised me that as long as the funding continues, I can continue my life!"

"Naive," Zhao Yayu sneered, "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't send it now, I'll shoot you dead to avoid messing things up."

Zhou Xuan Ying lowered his head and started sending the message, while Qing Chen in the back was looking on with a smile.

He roughly understood the whole story. Zhou Xuan Ying was also one of the Time Travelers controlled by the Koshima Consortium. Li Changqing once said that there was a Koshima Consortium's spy organization in City 18, so it was understandable that they controlled several Time Travelers.

For a long time, Zhou Xuan Ying's family had been providing financial support to the Time Travelers controlled by Koshima, after all, Time Travelers also needed funds to operate in the Outer World.

And Koshima should have promised Zhou Xuan Ying that he could continue living as a normal person and would not easily use him.

Today's activation may have been premeditated, or it may have been because Zhou Xuan Ying happened to be in Luoyang, and Koshima chose to use this unrelated vehicle to send the Substitutioner to Luoyang silently after discovering that they were being followed.

After all, who would notice a van full of students?

So the answer was clear, the black box in the trunk contained the Substitutioner.

Zhao Yayu probably knew that Qing Chen was a Time Traveler, so he asked the organization for support. He didn't want him to get in the car earlier, but Tian Hailong and Xu Zimo insisted on lifting him in.

The reason why Qing Chen appeared here was thanks to Kunlun's powerful intelligence system, which was at least more powerful than Qing Chen had imagined, even finding out the source of funds for people like Koshima.

Qing Chen didn't know what would happen before he got in the car, but Zheng Yuandong reminded him, and then he came and encountered a big surprise.

It has to be said that Qing Chen had underestimated Kunlun before. That Boss Zheng seemed to be hiding himself quite deeply, understanding the key to concealing one's abilities.

At this moment, Koshima's people were heading to Luoyang in two groups, and another group of Koshima's people may have already begun to encounter Kunlun's interception.

Xu Zimo looked at the gun in Zhao Yayu's hand, and then subconsciously glanced at Qing Chen.

To her surprise, she found Qing Chen smiling.

For some reason, Xu Zimo felt that even though Qing Chen looked very weak at this time, that smile was particularly reassuring.

She thought of the hand that covered her mouth last night, and the warmth in her palm, and suddenly calmed down, as if there was nothing to be afraid of.

"The Boss said to let us get off the highway directly at the next Lianhuo service area, someone will be there to meet us," Zhou Xuan Ying said, "You won't do anything to my classmates, will you?"

Zhao Yayu sneered, "Stay here safely, and keep an eye on your classmates in the back row. Tell me immediately if they make any unusual movements. Remember, you are no longer with them, if they go back and tell your story, how will you continue your normal life? Don't worry, we can stage a car accident for you after we deliver the goods, their deaths will have nothing to do with you."

Qing Chen smiled, "He's lying to you, he never planned to let you live from the beginning, you haven't received professional training from the Koshima Consortium, so it's easy to reveal their information."

Zhao Yayu's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the words "Koshima'.

This Time Traveler named Qing Chen knew they were from Koshima!

Things had become serious.

Zhao Yayu glanced at the navigation, and slammed on the brakes, wanting to stop the car by the side of the road.

Qing Chen said with a smile, "Keep driving, drive to the service area, you have a gun, and I have one too. If you dare to slam on the brakes, I swear I'll fire before my body sways, whether you die or not will depend entirely on fate."

As he spoke, Zhao Yayu heard the sound of a gun being cocked behind him.

This young man really had a gun!

This was a firearm specially sent by Little Eagle, saying that all Kunlun Members were equipped with them.

Of course, they had to be returned to the armory after the operation.

Tonight, Qing Chen was indeed a Kunlun Member.

Xu Zimo asked curiously, "Why not stop the car first and subdue him?"

Qing Chen smiled, "Didn't you hear him say that there's support at the service area? We have to get rid of all evil. These people are not the same as ordinary criminals, these people are working for foreigners."

Zhao Yayu stepped on the accelerator again, sneering, "I'm curious about which side you're on, daring to come and die alone while injured like this."

Zhou Xuan Ying, Wang Jiale, Xia Xiaoran, and Tian Hailong were all stunned, they didn't expect things to suddenly turn out like this.

They hadn't seen Qing Chen kill people in the hotel with their own eyes, so they didn't have any concept of Qing Chen being a Time Traveler.

Later, Qing Chen appeared seriously injured, looking so miserable, he didn't seem particularly powerful at all.So formidable that he was injured like this?

However, as they were in a state of panic and confusion, Qing Chen calmly used a gun to control the driver in front of them, the others realized how extraordinary this classmate of theirs was.

Qing Chen smiled and said to Zhou Xuan Ying, "Classmate, take the gun from his hand and pass it to me."

"O...okay," Zhou Xuan Ying trembled. At this time, his brain had begun to slow down, and he did whatever others told him to do.

Zhao Yayu thought to himself that when the vehicle entered the service area, he would immediately duck down, open the door, and run away. Then, his companions outside would spray bullets wildly, turning everyone in the car into sieves.

However, just before the van was about to enter the service area, at the moment it began to slow down, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the car. The bullet cleanly pierced Zhao Yayu's chest from behind.

Zhao Yayu never expected that Qing Chen would shoot before he even stopped the car!

The crisp sound of the gunshot traveled from the car into the night. Four people in the service area immediately took advantage of the darkness to surround the van.

However, Qing Chen acted even faster. Before they could get close, he had already reached out of the window and pulled the trigger.

Raise hand, aim, shoot, all in one go, without the slightest pause.

This set of movements was so fast that it seemed Qing Chen had skipped the aiming process.

Absolute gun sense!

At 260 meters, the bullet directly hit the gangster's head, killing him instantly!

The remaining three gangsters were stunned by the sight of their fallen companion. Generally, the accurate range of a pistol is only 50 meters, and the lethal range is 250 meters.

In other words, accurate shooting is possible within 50 meters, and enemies can still be killed at 250 meters.

If instructors were to teach pistol skills, they would generally tell students: the key to using a pistol lies in controlling the distance between you and the target. If you are too far away from him, then the most important thing to do is to close the distance, so as to ensure the number of effective shots.

However, this point didn't seem to apply to Qing Chen; the maximum shooting distance was his accurate shooting distance.

At this time, Xu Zimo in the car didn't look at the gangsters, nor did she pay attention to whether the other party was approaching. She was just quietly looking at the young man next to her, not knowing what she was thinking.
