Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 368: A New City, A New Life

“Daybreak? I haven’t heard of them,” Qing Chen asked casually, “As far as I know, City 18 should correspond to Outer World Luo City, so Daybreak should be active in City 18?”

At this time, the concept of the Outer World was already well-known in the Inner World. Many historical records and maps of the Outer World had even been transported to this world by Time Travelers.

So, it wasn’t strange that Qing Chen knew the corresponding relationship between the Inner World and Outer World.

Sun Chuci said, “Daybreak has always been active in City 18, and they’ve disrupted many of Shendai and Koshima’s plans.”

Qing Chen nodded, “Then I think this organization is pretty good. I don’t like Shendai and Koshima either.”

Sun Chuci said, “This organization used to be very secretive, but recently they’ve been doing too many big things, and they can’t hide it anymore. Many Time Travelers in Zheng City are saying they’re going to Luo City to join Daybreak.”

Qing Chen was puzzled, “Doesn’t Zheng City have any powerful Time Traveler organizations?”

“No,” Sun Chuci shook her head, “…not really. The main issue is that the local Time Traveler organizations in Zheng City, after gaining power, have become a bit fond of bullying people. They use their abilities to collect protection money from nightclubs. If a Time Traveler is exposed, they will be tracked down and forced to carry Inner World items between the two worlds to make money for them.”

Qing Chen raised an eyebrow. The Time Travelers in Zheng City were too petty. They couldn’t control their desires after gaining a little power.

He asked, “Can’t you unite to oppose them?”

Sun Chuci said, “No, their organization has a C-Class expert, so everyone dares to be angry but doesn’t dare to speak out.”

Qing Chen sighed inwardly. Could a single C-Class expert be so domineering?

It was unexpected that Liu Dezhu alone could become a local expert in Zheng City.

Qing Chen originally inquired about this to see if there were any Time Travelers in Zheng City that he needed to be wary of.

But it seems there aren’t any.

In a sense, Qing Chen’s trip to City 10 was more like an advance party for Daybreak.

In the past, Daybreak had been secluded. Although they had participated in many major events, they had mainly developed in Luo City.

But for Daybreak, sooner or later they would have to go out, meet more Time Travelers, and embrace a wider world.

Tuanzi also said, “After those guys got rich, they bought several Ferraris and Porsches, and they’d speed through Zheng City in the middle of the night, it was so annoying. In comparison, Daybreak has been fighting against Shendai and Koshima, which is so inspiring! I heard that the Daybreak Boss is incredibly powerful. Do you know about the ambush of the important Li Clan figures by the Shendai organization in City 18? It’s said that the Daybreak Boss used a sniper rifle to kill countless Shendai members from 2600 meters away.”

Qing Chen said, “If you’re going to talk… Are there any Forbidden Artifacts in the Zheng City organization?”

Sun Chuci thought for a moment, “The C-Class expert in that organization seems to have one.”

Hearing this, Qing Chen finally became interested in this organization…

Three pickup trucks finally drove into District 5. Qing Chen patted Sun Chuci’s shoulder here and smiled, “I’ll get off here. Remember, if you need anything, you can find me. If the Zheng City Time Travelers come to you, you can also ask me for help.”

Qing Chen got out of the car, and Sun Chuci looked thoughtfully at the young man’s departing back.

Only after the young man left did the car’s intercom start ringing frantically. Everyone had held back for a long time, finally having the chance to discuss Qing Chen.

“Wow, what exactly is this guy’s identity? He can even make the big shots of the Immigration Bureau bow and scrape?”

Sun Chuci thought for a moment and said, “I think he must be a big shot from the Qing Family, and he has a background in official power institutions. After all, the Immigration Bureau doesn’t treat all Conglomerate members so humbly. They wouldn’t be so humble towards a minor branch.”

Tuanzi said, “His marksmanship is amazing. I didn’t dare to breathe in the car, afraid he would kill us all. Could this kind of person be from the Qing Family’s military? I heard that there are many people in the Conglomerate who are promoted to commissioned officers at a young age.”

“However, if he’s really a big shot from the Conglomerate, why would he live in District 5?”

Sun Chuci thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he has many houses, and he just likes living in District 5.”

At this time, someone on the car’s intercom said, “I think there’s another possibility. Could it be like those big shots in City 10…”

This made everyone stunned.

District 4 is the entertainment district. Except for the top three districts, all high-end residential buildings outside the Conglomerate are concentrated here. Many second- and third-tier celebrities who can’t live in the third district are concentrated in certain high-end residential buildings in District 5.

Therefore, many big shots from City 10 have houses in District 5, keeping their favorite little stars.

What the person just said was probably that Qing Chen might be like the other big shots, keeping someone here?

Sun Chuci shook her head and replied, “I don’t think so. That Qing Family big shot seems pretty clean. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would do this kind of thing.”

“Okay, I was just saying… By the way, senior, should we try to get closer to this big shot? Other Time Travelers live comfortably after clinging to big shots in the Inner World. We’ve finally met a big shot from the Inner World, so we must not miss this opportunity.”

Tuanzi said, “If we cling to this big shot, we don’t have to work hard in the wilderness.”

Sun Chuci thought for a moment and said, “It’s not impossible. I’ll try to show goodwill and probe him to see if he’s interested and needs someone to run errands. But everyone must understand that we still have to rely on ourselves in the Inner World. If we don’t have the ability to not be used by others, then everything is useless.”

Sun Chuci and Qing Chen had several conversations along the way.

But for some reason, the more they talked, the more mysterious he felt.

…

…

After getting out of the car, Qing Chen didn’t rush to his rented house but wandered around District 5.

This trip to City 10 would definitely be dangerous. Even if it wasn’t, the Shadow Master might create danger for him.

Qing Chen didn’t have any wishful thinking. What he needed to do was to memorize all the terrain in District 5 before the danger came.

He spent six hours memorizing a total of 78 streets and planning 12 escape routes, three of which led to the safe house in District 3, and nine led out of City 10.

Qing Chen didn’t know if his planning was meaningful, but he planned it anyway.

He needed to prepare everything before he reported to the Secret Spy Agency.

When Qing Chen entered his rented ‘Utopia Tower’, the elevator was slowly closing.

He ran a few steps and managed to stop the elevator before it closed.

A woman, completely covered up—hat, mask, and sunglasses—was standing in the elevator, looking very strange.

Qing Chen felt that this outfit was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen it.

He glanced at the elevator. She had already pressed the 112th floor, and Qing Chen was also going to the 112th floor.

At this time, Qing Chen was already vigilant. Could someone have found out his rental information and come looking for him as soon as he arrived in City 10?

Unknowingly, Qing Chen had silently held Marionette in his hand. Once the woman next to him made a move, he could infuse Knight True Qi into Marionette, turning the soft, transparent threads into sharp blades.

However, when the elevator reached the 12th floor, the woman spoke, “Is this necessary?”

Qing Chen’s fingers holding the Marionette tightened, “Huh?”

Had the other party already noticed his vigilance?

The woman’s voice was clear and crisp, and she didn’t sound old.

Qing Chen glanced sideways. The woman’s hand, wearing a black leather glove, had reached into her exquisite handbag, as if she was taking out a gun to point at him.

But he wasn’t panicked, only calmly asking, “Who sent you?”

“Who sent me?” The woman was stunned, “What are you acting out here? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing just because you say this.”

After saying that, she took out a small stun gun, as petite as a lipstick.

Qing Chen: “?”

He suddenly felt that things weren’t as he imagined. An assassin wouldn’t usually use this kind of civilian stun gun.

Moreover, what the woman was saying seemed a bit illogical…

The woman continued in a muffled voice, “You paparazzi are so powerful these days, you can even find me? Can’t you give the artists some private space? Can’t we separate work and life? If I see you in this building again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

The woman’s voice grew louder and louder, and her emotions grew more and more angry. She was still waving the lipstick-like stun gun in her hand.

Qing Chen: “…”

He calmly looked at the other party, not completely relaxing his vigilance.

However, he finally understood why he felt the other party’s outfit was so familiar. When Lu Ya secretly ran to the rooftop to observe him, she had the same outfit.

Qing Chen looked at the woman, “Madam, please calm down, you’ve misunderstood.”

To be honest, not only had she misunderstood, but he had misunderstood as well.

At this time, the woman said, “Me calm down? I ask you, you didn’t press any floor after entering the elevator. How do you explain that?”

Qing Chen sighed inwardly and didn’t speak.

After arriving on the 112th floor, he went out first and then used the code to open the door of his rented apartment on the 112th floor.

Qing Chen stood in the room and sighed, the personnel structure of City 10 seemed to be different from other cities.

And life in City 10 seemed to be more bizarre than he had expected.
