Night's Nomenclature Chapter 450

Another high-ranking member of the Mechanical God Sect was captured.

This quickly became a hot topic of discussion in City 10, with people inevitably pondering why it was phrased as ‘another’ capture.

Then people discovered a pattern: In the past month, news about the Mechanical God Sect had consistently involved either a branch being taken out, or Cardinals and Deacons being arrested. Now, even the Chief Judge of the Third Tribunal was captured.

Soon, it’ll be the Pope’s turn!

Some even wondered if the Pope dared to come to the Central Plains, and whether he himself worried about getting arrested.

Furthermore, tonight’s battle seemed overly farcical. The Chief Judge was like a toy in the opponent’s hands, completely helpless.

At this moment, Qing Chen and Yang Yang walked down the street. Qing Chen had already removed the Chief Judge’s energy core and given it to Luo Wanya. He didn’t bother with what Luo Wanya did with it.

When Luo Wanya saw the Chief Judge, he was completely dumbfounded.

Just yesterday, Boss had warned him that the Mechanical God Sect had experts coming, making Luo Wanya extremely nervous.

So, Boss reminding him yesterday was to prepare for receiving him?

That was indeed thoughtful.

“Now, the Mechanical God Sect will be much more cautious when sending people to the Central Plains,” Yang Yang asked, “After all, they need to consider the possibility of being captured again.”

“Yeah,” Qing Chen nodded, “The Mechanical God Sect is deeply rooted, with a population dozens of times larger than the Guardians' Union. My biggest concern is that they will all swarm over and crush the Guardians' Union. Only their hesitation will give the Guardians' Union room to grow. In another two months, it will be extremely difficult for them to recapture City 18.”

Yang Yang tilted her head to look at Qing Chen: “Aren’t we going back to the camp? You should be back before dawn, right?”

“Right, but this resolution of the Mechanical God Sect was too smooth. There’s still a long time before dawn, I can do something else.”

“After sending you back to camp, I have to return to City 10. The Student Protest is about to begin, and I, as the organizer, cannot leave,” Yang Yang said.

“Yeah, I know, you go ahead and do your thing.”

Yang Yang smiled sweetly: “Let’s go, let’s quickly get the next thing done, Song Niao Niao is waiting for you to go back.”

Qing Chen: “Don’t talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with her.”

Three o'clock in the morning.

Qing Xing ate some gossip about Qing Wen online, and then some more through Kestrel, feeling very satisfied before going to bed.

He didn’t care what happened to the Mechanical God Sect; he only cared about how unlucky Qing Wen was.

Since they were together at the Qing Family academy, Qing Xing had always enjoyed seeing this arrogant brat suffer. At the academy, he always sat straight, was always the first to raise his hand to answer the Instructor’s questions, and was always “the ideal child” in the parents’ eyes.

Although Qing Xing, as a Shadow Candidate, hoped that other candidates would die, his resentment towards Qing Wen was always a little stronger.

Seeing Qing Wen’s misfortune tonight was truly delightful.

Qing Xing planned to read the news again tomorrow morning for breakfast.

Of course, it would be even better if that brat Qing Yi could also suffer a bit. He was precocious yet pretended to be obedient. He was the red person around the Shadow in Intelligence Bureau One, and somehow he managed to deceive this kid into openly Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!

Qing Xing had studied Intelligence Bureau One, and he knew how uncomfortable the other intelligence systems recently targeted by the seventh group were.

He was thinking that if he could get the Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!

Oh right, there was also Qing Wu. If only Qing Wu hadn’t faced a mental hurdle when he broke through to A-Class.

Qing Xing drifted off to sleep, wrapped in a thick down comforter.

After an unknown amount of time, Qing Xing suddenly woke up from his dream.

He sat up abruptly and looked at the side of the bed, where a Shadow was standing coldly.

Instantly, Qing Xing’s back was drenched in cold sweat: “Who?!”

This Prosperous Flowers mansion was equipped with armored doors that only Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!

Usually, only a maid he brought from home could freely enter and exit. Others, no matter what happened, couldn’t enter.

The maid was his childhood nanny, who had been with their family for decades and was trustworthy.

“I remember warning you last time. If you use your abilities on me again, I will definitely give you some unforgettable lessons,” the Shadow said calmly, though a hint of anger lurked beneath the calm.

Qing Xing was stunned. He knew who it was.

Qing Xing slowly calmed down: “How did you get in?”

Qing Wen sneered: “The security here is just chicken feed to me. You installed armored doors that you thought were safe, but they’re easily opened.”

Who would have thought that on the other side of the Forbidden Sea, there were Forbidden Artifacts specifically designed for opening doors?

Qing Xing’s psychological quality was strong, and he had gradually calmed down: “It seems I have an inside man. But, did you misunderstand something? I didn’t arrange any accidents for you.”

Qing Wen sneered: “Save that for ghosts. Don’t explain to me. I don’t want others to think I’m bloodthirsty, so I won’t kill you now. But in Forbidden Zone 065, you better be careful.”

The Qing Family Shadow Succession selects Shadows, who have the potential to become the head of the family.

No faction leader really wants to see a Shadow who is extremely angry and likes to kill. No one wants to befriend such a person. This is why Qing Wen had to explain to the Shadow before that he didn’t want to kill Qing Zhong.

A candidate who likes to kill and doesn’t strategize, even if they become a Shadow, will have a hard time becoming the head of the family.

Truly smart people know that starting with the Shadow Succession, the head of the family begins to select suitable successors.

Qing Wen looked deeply at Qing Xing again: “Take care of yourself.”

After speaking, he turned and walked outside.

Qing Xing heard the door close and hurriedly got dressed to check.

He found that the security personnel outside his door had all collapsed, without even having time to issue a warning.

Qing Xing kicked a security guard and roared: “Someone got to my bedside, and none of you issued a warning? Where’s Zhou Sheng? Go get him!”

Zhou Sheng was a Guardian chosen by his father, a C-Class expert.

Such a person would not be stationed outside Qing Xing’s door 24/7; he had his own residence in the building.

Normally, he would receive a warning before coming to protect Qing Xing.

But this time, the security personnel didn’t even notify him.

Of course, when Zhou Sheng found out what happened, Qing Xing might not even need to call him.

For this level of expert intrusion, having him come would just mean one more person to be beaten.

Zhou Sheng asked solemnly, “What’s going on? Why wasn’t there any warning?”

The security personnel were confused: “We detected an intrusion, but when the intrusion happened, we felt as if we weighed a thousand pounds, and we couldn’t move at all.”

Zhou Sheng frowned: “There was no warning from the monitoring room either? What are you doing?”

“The monitoring screen froze.”

They had two monitoring rooms, cross-monitoring each other. To silently intrude, both monitoring rooms had to be attacked simultaneously.

But this time, the other party directly invaded the monitoring network.

Zhou Sheng muttered: “Strange, even if the other party was well-prepared, how did they silently open the armored door?!”

There were too many strange things tonight.

Qing Xing calmly thought. The other party had this kind of invasion ability. If they were determined to use experts to kill him, he would probably not be able to defend himself.

However, the most important thing was Qing Wen’s threat; the other party might attack him in Forbidden Zone 065.

Qing Xing thought of how the other party silently came to his side, and felt a chill in his heart.

He had to change his strategy.

Qing Xing said to Zhou Sheng: “Call your brother; he has to come to my side in advance. Qing Wen definitely used B-Class experts this time. The intensity of the Shadow Succession has escalated, and I cannot sit idly by.”

At that moment, Qing Xing’s phone rang. He saw it was Qing Wen calling and angrily answered: “What’s the deal? Huh? Do you really think I’m afraid of you? I’ll tell you, I’ve disliked you since I was a child! We’ll meet in Forbidden Zone 065!”

After that, Qing Xing hung up the phone.

After a while, Qing Wen sent a picture. It was a corpse, the undercover Qing Xing had placed beside Qing Wen.

Round three, it’s time to kill someone.

“Hey, why didn’t you just kill him? Or make him a puppet?” Yang Yang curiously asked.

Qing Chen said: “If I killed him, it would be hard for me to find the Forbidden Artifact in his possession. If I made him a puppet, the whole Qing Family would treat me as a public enemy. Qing Xing’s status is unusual. If he mysteriously disappeared, his parents would use all their power to find him, and I might not be able to handle it. I don’t want to gamble.”

“Moreover, Qing Xing was too calm just now; he didn’t seem to be very worried about fighting Qing Wen personally. I suspect he might be hiding his strength. I might not be able to control him either.”

At this time, Qing Chen had changed back to his own appearance from Qing Wen’s and was flying in the night sky with Yang Yang.

Yang Yang asked again, “Then what were you trying to do? To provoke an internal struggle between him and Qing Wen?”

“Not only,” Qing Chen shook his head, “In fact, I’m not very interested in Qing Wen and Qing Xing fighting each other. What I want is that Forbidden Artifact.”

“What we did tonight will leave him with some psychological shadows. Ordinary people, when threatened with death, instinctively want to escape, but these Conglomerate big shots will probably first think about how to eliminate the hidden danger,” Qing Chen said, “So, how will he eliminate the hidden danger? Of course, he’ll first use his most adept methods to keep Qing Wen busy, anxious, and worried. So, starting today, Qing Wen will continuously Face[-] accidents. That’s what I want. As long as he uses them frequently enough, I can find the pattern.”

At this time, Qing Chen’s Kestrel had canceled all other tasks and was only responsible for keeping a close eye on Qing Xing after Qing Chen left City 10.

Yang Yang asked, “Do you have any purpose in following the film crew to the wilderness?”

“No, I’m leaving City 10, this place of strife, to rest and recuperate,” Qing Chen said.

Because he might have to Face[-] the most intense battle he’s ever faced since he came to this world in Forbidden Zone 065.

Tonight, no one would have thought that someone who had already left City 10 would suddenly return and do so many things.

And after doing those things, they also impersonated a victim.
