Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 307: Shendai and Koshima

He Xiaoxiao group chat.

Rebel King said: “That person called zard, how about the intelligence I shared this time? Is it more accurate than yours, and more concise and to the point? No beating around the bush or keeping secrets.”

zard’s reply was brief and to the point: “Not playing.”

Rebel King was furious on the other side: “Share some intelligence too?”

zard: “Koshima and Shendai’s reverse time-travel plan failed this time, but they won’t give up. As Rebel King said, the Inner World Federation is about to have a civil war, and the two forces in the war are very likely to be Shendai and Koshima from the north, facing Li Clan, Qing Family, and Chen Family from the south. Currently, Li Clan and Qing Family are staunch supporters of war, with fewer voices in favor of peace within, only Chen Family’s stance is uncertain, so Li Clan and Qing Family should be wary of Chen Family betraying them and acting secretly. After all, everyone wants to be the fisherman who benefits.”

zard: “The Time Travelers controlled by Koshima and Shendai in Xian City were just the tip of the iceberg. Don’t underestimate their brainwashing methods. At the beginning of the Inner World war, the intelligence system is the first to be activated, and I think the Outer World will be the same. Also, from two huge Conglomerates, only one Substitution candidate for reverse time travel was found? I don’t believe it. If that’s really the case, the two Conglomerates are too weak. Don’t underestimate them.”

Others in the group savored it slowly. It was rare for zard to be serious, and everyone was a little unaccustomed to it.

But zard was right. How many Time Travelers did Li Clan, Qing Family, and Chen Family in the Inner World control? Definitely over a thousand.

Then the population density of Shendai and Koshima’s country is also very high, will the number they control be small? Shendai and Koshima’s families have a more efficient way of finding them.

Only the direct descendants of the Shendai and Koshima families speak Japanese and Korean. The people in the cities they control speak Mandarin.

And the cities they control correspond to Osaka, Tokyo, and other places. Very few Time Travelers there speak Mandarin.

Therefore, if Time Travelers who have traveled to the past only speak Korean and Japanese but not Mandarin, they are all Time Travelers.

As a result, the concentration of Time Travelers in Shendai and Koshima is very high.

Now someone told Qing Chen that these two families had controlled thousands of Time Travelers, and he believed it.

This is also the reason why the tuition fee for Chinese classes has become sky-high in Island Nation.

Rebel King looked at the two paragraphs zard sent, and asked suspiciously: “Is this all the intelligence you have?”

zard: “I guessed.”

Rebel King: …

Li Si: …

Yue'er: …

Qing Bao: “Although zard’s guess is correct, it is very close to the truth. At least, the number of Time Travelers controlled by the Shendai Family is more than everyone imagined. Moreover, although the Shendai Family’s base is in the north, it has intelligence systems in various cities, so there are Time Travelers they control in 19 cities across the country. As far as I know, they have found more than a dozen people who meet the Substitution requirements. As for whether they have been sent to their designated location, I’m not sure.”

“Eh, you know so much information, you wouldn’t be from the Shendai family, would you? Only direct descendants can know this information,” zard asked curiously.

Qing Bao: “No.”

At this time, Qing Chen was stunned when he saw these people chatting. He thought to himself, could this Qing Bao be Shendai Kongyin?!

The other party might be a member of the Shendai Family, or an overseas Chinese who understands Chinese and has a sense of belonging to China. Qing Chen felt that Shendai Kongyin fits the bill!

Shendai Kongyin’s father is Chinese, so the child’s values and cultural identity are more likely to follow the paternal line.

Qing Chen suddenly thought, his name had already been mentioned in the group, so if this Qing Bao is Shendai Kongyin…

At the same time that he knew the other party was a Time Traveler, the other party also guessed that he was a Time Traveler?

Now Shendai Kongyin is still fleeing in the country, will the other party come to Luo City to find him?

Qing Chen was unsure. After all, the two of them were at most strangers who had met a few times. Although they had an engagement in the Inner World, if they were both Time Travelers, who would take the engagement seriously?

The next moment, Forbidden Artifactace-999 pulled Qing Chen’s thoughts back: “I need to tell everyone that if you encounter anyone suspected of being from Shendai or Koshima, please report to the Nine Provinces or Kunlun Members you know as soon as possible. This is not alarmist. If Shendai and Koshima become the victors in the Federation, you will also be implicated. The war in the Inner World seems to have nothing to do with us, but it is not so.”

Quiet Mountain: “Agreed. Kunlun also welcomes everyone to share intelligence. In addition, if the Inner World is about to have a civil war, then Shendai and Koshima will take action in the country soon, so please be careful, Time Travelers.”

Qing Chen pondered and agreed with the two people’s statements.

After all, his greatest reliance now was his special relationship with Li Shutong and Li Clan. If Li Clan became the loser in the Inner World, it would weaken his interpersonal relationships and cards.

Not only him, I’m afraid many Time Travelers will Face^[-] such danger. For example, Rebel King, as an officer in the Qing Family’s direct lineage troops, if the Qing Family loses the war, his social status will cease to exist.

At that time, the status of Time Travelers controlled by the Shendai and Koshima families will rise, and they will also play a huge role in the Outer World.

Therefore, overall, if Shendai and Koshima appear in the country, Qing Chen and the others should also stop their plans from their own interests.

Not to mention some historical hatred.

At this time, Qing Bao suddenly asked in the group: “By the way, domestically… how many people are learning Japanese?”

Li Si: “Japanese is a minor language in China, not many people learn it. Why are you asking this?”

Qing Bao explained: “Oh, I’m just asking casually. After all, if we are going to fight Shendai, it’s always good to know some Japanese, knowing yourself and your enemy will lead to victory in a hundred battles.”

Lu Ya: “Makes sense.”

zard: “Let’s go learn! I have a lot of teaching materials!”

Rebel King: “Can you share it? I want to learn a foreign language too.”

Qing Bao: …

Qing Chen suddenly wondered, if Qing Bao is really Shendai Kongyin, why would he ask this question? He’s probably trying to guess if he knows Japanese?

The other party probably doesn’t know that he’s in this group…

Of course, based on the information Qing Bao has shown now, Qing Chen still cannot determine his real identity.

At this time, Huan Yu, who had been silent, said: “According to the information I have, some Time Travelers from Shendai and Koshima have already set off. It seems that their goal is still to send people to Luo City to replace important figures in the Li Clan in the Inner World.”

Rebel King: “Yo, you also have the kindness to provide such information? Don’t tell me you’re helping Shendai and Koshima cover up.”

Huan Yu: “When the nest falls, the eggs are broken. Rebel King, if my analysis is correct, your backing in the Inner World is the Qing Family. If the Qing Family loses, can you still be so relaxed? I think that Time Travelers with a certain social status in the Inner World more or less have some connection with Conglomerates. Everyone is in the same situation.”

Qing Chen thought to himself after reading this, he previously judged that there was a 60% chance that Huan Yu was from the Chen Family, and now this probability has increased to 70%.

At this moment, Forbidden Artifactace-999 suddenly said: “We must remind everyone to be careful and increase their vigilance against Shendai and Koshima. Nine Provinces has already had small-scale conflicts with them abroad, and several members have been assassinated in the country recently. This is not alarmist. We believe that when the war in the Inner World breaks out, they will definitely take action.”

The originally cheerful atmosphere in the group suddenly became stagnant.

Everyone is thinking, even a large organization like Nine Provinces suffered casualties, so how dangerous are they, the ‘loose soldiers and stragglers’?

In fact, the Time Travelers from Shendai and Koshima are not necessarily better than them, but the most important point is that they are too concentrated, and it can be imagined that those Time Travelers have all received military training.

…

…

Jiang Xue drove the car into the family courtyard on Xingshu Road.

Qing Chen went to Xian City for a trip and felt particularly warm returning to this familiar place.

After getting out of the car, he looked around, trying to remember every detail.

Hu Xiaoniu had already found a new base, and he was going to sign the house purchase contract tomorrow morning and go through the transfer procedures at the administrative service hall.

The newly bought villa is newly decorated and located in ‘National Treasure Garden’, the most famous wealthy area in Luo City.

The villa has 720 square meters, with a total of 8 bedrooms.

Hu Xiaoniu, Liu Dezhu, Nangeng Chen, Qing Chen, Jiang Xue, Li Tongyun, and Zhang Tianzhen, enough for the current Daybreak members. Then, the third floor will house women, and the first and second floors will house men, which can also ensure the privacy of Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun.

The community has a beautiful environment, suitable for morning runs, and the spacious basement of the villa can be converted into a gym and equipment room.

Overall, Hu Xiaoniu considered everything very comprehensively.

Compared to others, Hu Xiaoniu is more suitable for this kind of overall work.

In other words, Qing Chen and the others are about to move to a new address in the next two days, and all the Daybreak members will be together.

And Xingshu Road will become a thing of the past for everyone.

Just as they returned to the entrance of their building, everyone was astonished to find that several luxury cars were parked on the small road in front of Building 12.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw Hu Xiaoniu coming out of the building with several middle-aged men: “Uncles, I really can’t help you. Helping Uncle Zhang Chengze is just a matter of convenience. I really can’t handle other things. Please go back, I’ll see you off here.”

There were five or six middle-aged men around Hu Xiaoniu, and they were still chattering.

A chubby middle-aged man frowned: “Xiaoniu, Zhang Chengze told us that your organization is very powerful and can walk sideways in City 18. You can obviously help us.”

Hu Xiaoniu said seriously: “First, I need to correct you. That’s not my organization, but the organization I work for. There’s a big difference. In addition, in order to help Uncle Zhang Chengze, our organization has taken a great risk to rescue him. Now our organization is not short of funds, so we don’t plan to risk our lives for money.”

Another middle-aged man said: “Xiaoniu, our situation inside, if we can solve it ourselves, we wouldn’t need to trouble you…”

“Yes, why don’t you help us invite your Boss out? We can talk to him properly, maybe we have something that can impress him,” the chubby middle-aged man said.

Hu Xiaoniu shook his head and directly rejected the matter: “I will report this to him, and I will tell you what the Boss thinks. But don’t even think about meeting him Face^[-] to Face^[-].”

Then, Hu Xiaoniu sent these people to the car.

Nangeng Chen walked over and asked curiously: “What’s wrong with these people?”

Hu Xiaoniu smiled: “Let’s chat in the Daybreak group. I just need to report to the Boss.”

“Okay,” Qing Chen said.

Everyone returned to their homes.

Brave Little Ox: “Boss, as you instructed, the Gene Medicine has been sold to Zhang Chengze, and the income is 12 million, which has been transferred to Autumn Snow. He should still be in the painful period.”

Boss: “I know, thank you for your hard work.”

Brave Little Ox: “There were some unexpected events. After Zhang Chengze was rescued last time, he told his friends about it. As a result, several of his friends came to hope to get the same help. I roughly understood the situation. These people are all in some kind of predicament in the Inner World, either illegally imprisoned or hopeless at the bottom. They have hired some other Time Travelers before, but either they were scammed, or the Time Travelers were not very useful.”

Fearless: “One of the uncles, he drove all over the 19 public beta cities in the country, and finally the countdown appeared in Zheng City. He crossed over a long time ago, but as soon as he crossed over, he was discovered by his wife in the Inner World. When the woman found out that her husband had been Substituted, she didn’t choose to find the security committee, nor did she kill her uncle. She chose to pretend not to know, then injected him with a sedative when he was asleep, and imprisoned him in an iron cage. He has been imprisoned for almost a month.”

Qing Chen was stunned.

Boss: “Why imprison him?”

Fearless: “Because the woman thinks that although her husband has been Substituted, he might come back someday. Even if he doesn’t come back, she can see her husband’s body alive. She can’t bear to kill him. She sends food and chats with him every day, but doesn’t allow him to speak or respond.”

Qing Chen can imagine how desperate this woman is. A good life, a firm love, disappeared without a trace.

The other party chose to imprison the Time Traveler in the torment, just to see the living ‘husband’ every day.

Therefore, this is why Qing Chen is reluctant to use Yi to help people from the Outer World actively look for Substitution targets.

Every Substitution incident is a tragedy.

Boss: “We won’t help those who caused this kind of tragedy by actively traveling through time. What about the others?”

Brave Little Ox: “Another one is more tragic. He and his son both became Time Travelers. His son is Liu Dezhu’s classmate. Now, he has become someone else’s servant in City 18, and his son, together with other classmates, actively committed crimes to go to the prison where Liu Dezhu is…”

Qing Chen was shocked. He had already forgotten those prodigal sons. Now he remembered, yes, those prodigal sons are about to be judged.

The Daybreak members all know that Liu Dezhu has been cleared of guilt with the help of the ‘Boss’, so these prodigal sons going to prison is to really accept reform.

This family is too tragic, the whole family is destroyed…

Boss: “We won’t help this kind either. What about the others?”

Brave Little Ox: “Another one is more suspicious. He said that after he traveled through time, he became a member of a mysterious organization, which seems to be the intelligence organization of some force. As soon as he traveled to the past, he was discovered and confined. He is being brainwashed every day. It is said that there are several others imprisoned with him. At the beginning, the mysterious organization only let them sleep for one hour a day, and then used strong light to shine on them until they destroyed everyone’s psychological defenses. The brainwashing process is also meticulous, and the rhetoric is well-summarized.”

Boss: “Are there any identity characteristics of that organization?”

Brave Little Ox: “Those people are very cautious and have not revealed any characteristics.”

Boss: “Did that organization tell him what it plans to let him do in the Outer World?”

Brave Little Ox: “Not yet. No mission has been revealed to him. It’s just that the brainwashing process has intensified recently, as if they are in a hurry.”

Boss: “Hasn’t he been successfully brainwashed yet?”

Brave Little Ox: “This uncle was originally engaged in pyramid schemes in the 1990s. He said that the brainwashing techniques used by the other party are all the ones he has played with, so he is immune to them.”

Liu Dezhu: …

Nangeng Chen: …

Boss: “We’ll help this person. Let him send all his identity information. As for the price, Niuniu, you can negotiate with him based on his net worth.”

Brave Little Ox: “Okay, got it.”

Qing Chen now suspects that the one who controls this middle-aged man is likely to be one of Shendai or Koshima!

If Li Clan, Qing Family, and Chen Family control Time Travelers in the south, they would not hide their Conglomerate identities. They would even actively reveal their Conglomerate identities and let those Time Travelers develop a sense of powerlessness and actively surrender.

Only Shendai and Koshima have reason to be so cautious.

Following this Time Traveler, Qing Chen might be able to pull out an intelligence agency of Shendai or Koshima in the Inner World.

At this time, Nangeng Chen guessed something and curiously asked: “Brother Chen, are you planning to fight Shendai and Koshima to the death?”

“Fighting to the death is out of the question,” Qing Chen said: “But you must understand that our relationship with Li Clan is too deep. The people they want to send to Luo City to complete the Substitution plan are likely to be people we know, possibly Li Yino, Li Xiurui, Li Changqing, and so on.”

Nangeng Chen immediately became indignant when he heard Li Yino’s name: “Damn it!”

In the Daybreak group, Boss: “Hu Xiaoniu has prepared a new base. Everyone, pack up and get ready to move. It’s convenient for everyone to look out for each other when you’re together.”

Liu Dezhu suddenly became excited: “Boss, are you moving too?”

He thought to himself, he’s finally going to see the Boss’s true Face^[-]?

Boss: “I’m not moving.”

Liu Dezhu: “Oh…”

Autumn Snow suddenly asked: “Is Little Rich Woman moving too?”

Little Rich Woman: “I’m not moving either…”
