Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 522: Daybreak Greets You All

The tourists on Dotonbori's main street scattered at the sound of gunfire, like birds startled from a branch at twilight, fleeing in all directions.

Only the dazzling neon lights of the street remained.

Hundreds of Shadow Agency members surrounded the area, three Chosen Ones simultaneously sealing it off; the oppressive atmosphere was like a steel fortress.

But they had killed the wrong person in this massive operation.

No one knew when exactly this hunting plan went wrong.

Qing Chen mingled with the fleeing tourists, trying to escape this tight cordon.

Actually, when Yang Yang told Qing Chen that the Shendai Yunluo in Hokkaido wasn't real, Qing Chen began to consider all the clues.

Time seemed to return to the moment he played chess with Li Shutong.

The brave soldiers crossing the river, the cannons attacking head-on—all illusions.

only by fighting to the last moment could one know who was the abandoned pawn, who was the victorious general, and who was the hand playing the game.

The Shadow Agency increasing the number of people to watch was a ruse. They created a sense of crisis, guessing that Qing Chen was diverting attention for Shinguji Maki, so they used Shinguji Maki's mother as a bargaining chip, forcing him to act quickly.

The security personnel at Osaka City Hall were sacrifices, just to create an opportunity to mark him.

But the person who marked him didn't intend to act personally, so no Chosen One appeared at that time.

They only acted now because someone wanted to use him as a knife to kill someone they couldn't kill themselves.

Qing Chen laughed among the crowd.

After he figured this out, he kept wondering whether he should be this knife.

The Hu Family Intelligence Agency recorded the ATS-088 Shikigami Cloud Mirror; this thing can observe for 10 seconds every four hours using the corpses of those killed by Qing Chen.

The observation range is within a two-meter diameter.

After recalling this thing, Qing Chen had been waiting.

He discovered that Zard had tampered with him but hadn't cleaned it up, wanting to bring Zard along to share the responsibility.

As a result, Zard, who seemed carefree but was actually meticulous, hurriedly ran away after discovering that his conversation partner was just a puppet...

The reason why the Shendai Yunwu people went to the wrong place is because they saw the BBQ restaurant's logo in the Cloud Mirror.

A logo that Qing Chen wanted them to see.

In fact, Takahashi Yoshiyuki and Qing Chen had been in the Dotonbori grilled beef tongue shop all along, just in two shops more than thirty meters apart.

And the reason why Shendai Kongyu and others mistook the shop was because Qing Chen had taken tableware with the logo from another shop.

He used tableware with the Wagyu Yakiniku Restaurant logo in the Ichin Shiyaki Restaurant. What's the problem?

No problem.

No one would care about the differences in the details of the tables in the two barbecue restaurants, and the Shadow Agency members who went to check the situation in the barbecue restaurant didn't have a chance to see the details in the Cloud Mirror.

No one could notice the transparent thread that went through the ceiling.

Qing Chen's way of dealing with this strange Shikigami was too simple, just a pair of tableware.

People will only believe what they want to see.

The simpler, the more effective.

At this moment, Qing Chen ran with the crowded tourists toward the outside of the cordon. He had passed two cordons, and only more than ten Shadow Agency members remained ahead.

Shendai Yunwu suddenly said ferociously in the communication channel: "Seal off this street, the target must still be on this street, he can't be too far away!"

"Sir, we can't confirm his appearance now, he can change his appearance."

Shendai Yunwu said coldly: "Use the communication vehicle to shut down all monitoring and network signals. Kill everyone present without mercy. Find me Red Leaf Hunt!"

Qing Chen heard the voices in those people's earphones. He didn't expect that Shendai's Chosen Ones would be so crazy for Red Leaf Hunt.

There were at least eight hundred people in this cordon.

He ran among the crowd, watching as the Shadow Agency members cocked their guns.

Qing Chen pursed his lips. So what if he became a knife?

He decided to be that killing knife.

As long as Shendai's people came to their doorsteps, there was nothing he couldn't kill.

The most important thing is that the person who wanted to use a knife to kill probably didn't know how sharp this knife was, nor did he know that doing so would hurt himself.

Qing Chen took out a small bottle from his pocket, used his thumb to smear a drop of blood from the bottle onto his wrist.

The Shadow Agency members were raising their guns to shoot.

The next moment, when Qing Chen's figure was about to encounter the last cordon, he flipped out a playing card between his index and middle fingers, and as he swung his arm, it swept across the neck of a Shadow Agency member.

The moment the two passed each other, a jet of blood spurted from the Shadow Agency member's neck.

Two bangs.

The snipers at Point A and Point B shot simultaneously, but Qing Chen was as fast as a ghost among the more than ten Shadow Agency members; the trajectory couldn't lock onto him.

In terms of using sniper rifles, Qing Chen was the god of all snipers. He knew the shooting frequency of the sniper's breath, he knew the impact of the heartbeat on the sniper, and he knew how to induce a sniper to aim incorrectly.

Therefore, amid the sounds of sniper rifles, Qing Chen was like a shadow in the crowd, visible but untouchable.

Not only could the snipers not lock onto him, even the more than ten members of the Shadow Agency couldn't keep up with his movements even if they raised their guns.

This is B-Class, this is the level that can dodge firearms!

A physique that gradually transcends the human category, supporting a strong fighting will!

The light playing card in his hand actually gave him the feeling of a knife!

On the other side, Shendai Yunwu and others were rushing towards here. As he ran, he shouted in the communication channel, "Are the two snipers trash? Why haven't they sniped him yet!"

But at this time, the snipers had already fired all their bullets and began to change magazines.

It was during this magazine change that a sniper suddenly found that the killer had accelerated his killing pace.

The opponent seemed to have calculated their weapons, their ammunition capacity, and their firing frequency, and then decided when they could slaughter without any scruples.

It takes about three seconds for elite snipers to change magazines.

But in these three seconds, the Shadow Agency's last cordon was torn apart.

The sniper pulled the bolt while watching helplessly.

Before a corpse fell, Qing Chen lightly took off the earpiece from the other person's ear, walked toward the torn cordon, and said with a smile, "Daybreak greets you all."

Daybreak!

This was the first time Qing Chen admitted the name Daybreak on Japanese soil.

In fact, Zard's appearance had already directed all the spearheads at Daybreak.

Everyone was guessing that the killer was Daybreak's boss.

So there's no need to guess anymore. Today's Daybreak has already secured a place in this world.

Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.

Tonight's killing has just begun...
