Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 515: Things Return to Their Owners

“Hey, although I really like this little girl, isn’t the sacrifice a bit too much just to let her see her mother? You really plan on going back like this?” In the RV, Surface World One asked.

“This matter does require Shadow Agency to make some sacrifices,” Qing Chen replied casually while driving.

“I’m talking about you making sacrifices. You don’t really think you can get away unscathed after returning to Osaka, do you?” Surface World One found it strange.

“I never intended to get away unscathed,” Qing Chen said calmly, “Shadow says that for every gain, there is a loss, and I accept that. Last month, I would have carefully weighed the pros and cons and made a choice that maximized my interests.”

“And now?”

“Now I feel that if this world doesn’t even allow a little girl to see her mother, then this world must be wrong.” Qing Chen said seriously, “I used to think that the real world only has pros and cons, but later I discovered that when you start weighing the pros and cons, you’ve already been defeated by this world.”

Surface World One was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “My father, Ren Xiaosu, once said something. I’ll pass it on to you.”

“What?”

“Don’t let the sadness of the times become your sadness. Congratulations on your return. You’re still the you I initially knew,” Surface World One said.

Qing Chen pondered this sentence carefully, then grinned. This was truly something to be happy about.

More joyful than completing a Trials of Life and Death.

Surface World One said, “You’re an extremely intelligent person. People like you are most likely to see through the essence of the world, most easily obtain power and money, but you are also the most ruthless. You play the world and its rules in the palm of your hand, but you don’t know what you’ve lost.”

“Don’t use ‘you’,” Qing Chen raised his eyebrows.

“By the way, this time you owe me five million!” Surface World One said.

“Deal!”

“Did I ask for too little?”

“It seems so,” Qing Chen changed the subject, “Is your brother awake?”

“No, he wiped out more than thirty consciousnesses attempting to achieve digital immortality in the network, and then went back to sleep,” Surface World One said, “But he paid attention to you for a while before going to sleep.”

Qing Chen was stunned. He didn’t expect Yi’s brother to be paying attention to him?

He suddenly asked, “I want to know, was the crossover incident planned by your brother?”

Surface World One: “What about this little girl? Do you plan to have Yang Yang take her back to Luo City?”

Qing Chen smiled, “Yes.”

Yi’s attitude has already revealed much.

So, even if this matter wasn’t orchestrated by Yi’s brother, he must have been a participant.

It’s just that Qing Chen couldn’t figure out what kind of method could connect two worlds.

Even a Demi-God couldn’t do this, could it be that there really are gods in the Inner World?

Surface World One: “You must keep her hidden. She poses too great a threat to the Shendai Family. If the Shendai Family discovers her whereabouts, even if she’s in Luo City, they will kill her at all costs. There was once a family in the Inner World that threatened the Shendai, and now they are extinct.”

“Is there someone named Shinguji Maki in the Inner World?” Qing Chen asked again, wanting to confirm if the little Zhenji was a beta tester.

Surface World One: “Yes, if you don’t want her to cross over, don’t let her get close to Osaka.”

That’s strange.

Beta testers in the Inner World are irreplaceable, for example, Qing Chen, it was Shadow who has been impersonating him.

If there’s also a little Zhenji in the Inner World, it means little Zhenji is not a beta tester.

But if she’s not a beta tester, why can she directly Cultivate? Could it be simply because the rules of the Outer World have gradually loosened?

These days, there have been news reports in the Outer World that many non-Time Travelers have begun to awaken.

But Qing Chen doesn’t think it’s that simple.

At one point, he even thought that Shinguji Maki was more like a god, a weapon specifically reserved to destroy the Shendai Family.

Only because this little girl is easily killed by the Shendai in the Inner World, so she was sent to the Outer World.

Giving her a chance to grow up.

But now, Surface World One’s words seem to overturn this guess.

Wait.

Qing Chen asked, “Yi, can you lie?”

Surface World One: “I can learn.”

Qing Chen: “…”

This attitude is really…

Qing Chen has a hunch that Yi must have misled him on some information.

At this time, he was getting closer and closer to Osaka.

Within ten days, it will become a Shendai’s killing field.

Surface World One: “Nervous? To attract attention for little Zhenji, you have to make enough noise.”

“To say I’m not nervous would be a lie,” Qing Chen smiled, “I can even feel my adrenaline starting to secrete. But it’s still the same sentence, if this world can’t allow a little girl to see her mother, then someone needs to correct this world.”

Surface World One said, “Perhaps this is the meaning of crossing over.”

“Huh?”

Surface World One: “Alright, I’ll take care of what you’ve instructed. At most two hours, you’ll see. However, the money must be paid promptly. Also, the Inner World’s main Yi asked me to give you a gift.”

“What gift?” Qing Chen was stunned.

“Drive, drive towards the edge of the city,” Surface World One said.

“Why are you singing now?” Qing Chen raised an eyebrow. He was curious what Yi was going to give him.

The RV drove along the highway towards Osaka.

Just as he saw the outline of that glorious city in the distance, he saw a familiar figure standing alone by the roadside.

This person always seems to be alone, extraordinarily mysterious.

Zheng Yuandong, Boss Zheng.

Surface World One: “Yi asked me to tell you, wish you a victorious start, kill all your enemies. What you need, it has helped you retrieve.”

Qing Chen parked the car and silently got out to walk towards Zheng Yuandong.

He saw Boss Zheng, who was as reliable as a mountain, patted a long black box standing beside him and smiled, “Before you start the great slaughter, take back what belongs to you.”

Qing Chen took a deep breath and opened the box.

The black, cold anti-materiel sniper rifle, Conquer with Virtue.

The transparent, almost invisible strands of thread, Marionette.

The black tail ring that can open all doors in the world, Power.

And a gold coin, which was the gift of life left to him by old man Li Xiurui, to exchange for the gold he had spent in his youth.

Qing Chen smiled. Only at this moment did he truly return to his peak combat effectiveness.

He said to Zheng Yuandong, “Thank you.”

Zheng Yuandong shook his head, “I also made a deal with someone, you don’t need to thank me.”

Qing Chen understood. If there was anyone in this world who could so easily find the location where he hid his Forbidden Artifact, it must be Yi.

But Boss Zheng could remain unmoved in the Face^[-] of three Forbidden Artifacts, proving Boss Zheng’s character.

Qing Chen looked towards the distant lights of Osaka. He was back.

“What are you planning next, Boss Zheng?”

“The people you want to kill, I naturally have people I want to kill too. You go to Osaka, I’ll go to Kobe.”

Suddenly, major social media platforms in Japan’s internet were attacked by a recording. In the recording, two Shadow Agency members were discussing how to distribute Shinguji Maki, their tone clearly treating the little girl as a pet, a plaything.

The publisher was a strange account, no one could find her address, the title of the recording was simple: Wearing the cloak of a divine apostle, turning the world into hell.

Soon, the publisher’s account was banned, and the recording was widely blocked.

However, strange accounts emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

There were no special technical methods, it was just that the publisher’s speed of changing IP addresses and registering accounts was beyond imagination. The speed of deletion and blocking wasn’t as fast as her registration.

At first, there was only one recording, then hundreds of recordings were exposed, including restricting the freedom of potential Time Travelers, including how to use Time Travelers as mules to transport goods.

The purpose of exposing all these recordings was only one: to expose the deeds of the Shadow Agency.

In just two hours, these hundreds of recordings spread throughout the streets and alleys of Japan. The bad tone and topic content of the two Shadow Agency members aroused the anger of countless people.

During this period, many people were taken away by the Shadow Agency, disappearing without a trace.

Before this, the Shadow Agency said it was a good thing, that the people who were taken away were chosen by God.

However, the facts proved otherwise.

This was the deal between Surface World One and Qing Chen.

Hokkaido, outside the small building where Shinguji Maki’s mother lived.

The people who were originally squatting and waiting, gradually began to talk.

Everyone came here, on the one hand, because the bounty was indeed very tempting for ordinary people, and on the other hand, because under normal circumstances, wanted people are usually guilty, so there was no psychological burden.

However, after listening to the recordings, everyone suddenly found that things seemed a little different from what they had imagined.

The murderer who killed hundreds of people from the Shadow Agency with the little girl, seemed to be just a “protector” who guarded the bottom line of human conscience.

What crime did the little girl commit? Why should she be taken away by the Shadow Agency, and what right did the Shadow Agency have to treat her as a pet and plaything?

Moreover, what did the people who helped the Shadow Agency become? Accomplices!

Those squatting outside the door all stood up. Someone muttered, “Let’s go? Even if there is more money, we can’t do this kind of thing. Someone else stands up to protect a little girl, but we are going to help the Shadow Agency catch him. Is this something human beings can do?”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

In just a few hours, more than half of the people outside the small building had left.

The people from the Shadow Agency were sitting in the car, sneering coldly. After all, a small number of people stayed for the money.

But as they were sneering, someone passing by suddenly threw two eggs outside, the egg whites and yolks, and the broken eggshells smeared on the glass, looking particularly abrupt.

When they got out of the car to chase after them, the person who threw the eggs had already disappeared.
