Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 620: 388, Battery and Melee_3

It was just a moment, the guns in the assassins’ hands had all slipped out, as if they had encountered a gigantic magnet.

The dislodged firearms hovered beside the young man, their muzzles pointed at the assassins.

The mysterious young man, with a firepower matrix behind him as dense as the artillery of a battleship, wielded his ability to control metal combined with modern technological weapons, looking especially terrifying.

The guns behind him resembled the hundreds of longswords fused into the Iron Throne in “Game of Thrones.”

An assassin urgently said over the communications channel, “Qing Ye! Qing’s shadow has opened the Door of Shadow and sent his secret squad through, retreat!”

The young man known as Qing Ye laughed, “It seems I am quite famous now, huh? To think that seeing me is enough to speak my name, who leaked the information?”

The young man who passed through the Door of Shadow was not a shadow. In fact, many didn’t know that the taboo item, ACE-008 Door of Shadow, could not only transport the host but also others.

That meant the Shadow had the ability to send his troops to any place he had been at any time.

“It’s a trap,” someone said over the communication channel.

They had realized that the Door of Shadow could open directly inside the room, indicating that the Shadow had been here before, and tonight was a setup by the opposition.

Qing Ye looked at the assassins caught off guard, and laughed over the secret squad’s communication channel, “Tonight, everyone play to your hearts’ content.”

…

…

Qing Chen took a lollipop out of his pocket and put it in his mouth, grinning at Qing Yi, who was also prepared and had taken out a lollipop from his pocket.

The two exchanged knowing smiles and continued walking forward.

The figures of the two, one large and one small, suddenly seemed especially harmonious together.

But just as they entered Jindai Street, behind a window concealed by a White Wine Banner at the roadside, gunshots suddenly rang out.

Qing Yi was startled, but heard Qing Chen next to him laugh and say, “Don’t worry about what’s happening, let’s keep going.”

The gunfire was relentless, and it seemed as though a fierce but invisible battle was taking place in the buildings on either side of the wide road.

Qing Chen always felt something was amiss; the gunshots were too frequent, as if someone had set up a six-barreled Storm in the building.

Completely different from normal firing rates.

No, not a Storm.

Qing Chen, a master of firearms, recognized that it was the sound of dozens of pistols and automatic rifles, all different types.

Strange.

Jindai Street’s pedestrians scrambled to find hiding spots.

But Qing Chen alone walked forward unfazed.

Qing Yi was initially a bit panicky, but seeing his master’s calm demeanor, he suddenly wasn’t panicked anymore.

The next second, a window shattered on the building to the right, and two people fell from the seventh floor.

The next second, on the left, another window shattered, and an assassin was thrown down from the building.

Shattered glass fell to the ground, creating a crisp clattering sound like a unique rainfall.

Qing Chen and Qing Yi walked indifferently under the red holographic neon lights, above them swam a goldfish with a giant trailing fin, and around them swirled a chaotic throng of people and fluttering white wine banners, as well as a girl in a shop window looking out in a panic.

The chaos always revolved around Qing Chen and Qing Yi, but the street was too frantic, and no one knew that this chaos was because of Qing Chen.

Qing Yi turned his head and asked, “Sir, you knew there was danger, and that’s why you didn’t want me to follow you earlier, right?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen said calmly.

He had received a message from the Shadow in the middle of the night and had felt something was amiss.

At that time, he had only guessed that the other party intended to use him as bait, but he had no evidence.

Now, it appeared that Mr. Shadow from Qing’s Family had prepared very thoroughly, probably planning to clear out the riff-raff before trading with Jindai Yasuhara.

Qing Yi turned to seek in the roadside shop window, only to find the girl he had seen a few days ago pitifully sitting inside the window, tearfully staring outside.

Behind that shop window was a locked background wall; if there were no guests, the girl would have to stay kneeling inside all night, a punishment imposed by the boss to stimulate the girl to keep smiling and attract customers in her best condition.

Just then, an explosion was heard from a building ahead.

The massive vibration even shattered all the glass on the street.

The light drizzle seemed to turn into a torrential downpour.

Yet, Qing Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

He believed that if the Shadow dared to use him as bait, he must have been fully prepared, and if Qing Chen were to be killed during the baiting, it would probably stain Mr. Shadow’s life forever.

However, this scene appeared different in Qing Yi’s eyes; he only felt that his own master was incredibly mysterious and composed.

At that moment, Qing Yi finally summoned the courage to ask, “Sir, can you help me win the third round of the Door of Shadow conflict? If I ever become the Shadow, I will definitely…”

Qing Yi had prepared a lot of eloquent phrases, which he delivered fluently, not knowing how many times he had rehearsed them privately.

But before he could finish, Qing Chen had already turned around and smiled, “Okay, I’ll help you win this third round of the Door of Shadow conflict.”

Qing Yi was stunned; in the noisy, boiling street, his master seemed coated in a layer of brilliance, dazzling to behold.

He hadn’t expected that after hesitating for so many days and preparing for so many days, the matter he still found difficult to speak of was so readily agreed to by the other party.

Qing Chen said to Qing Yi, “Starting tomorrow, come directly to the Intelligence Department One, and train alongside me.”

“Ah…” Qing Yi was dazed, “Okay, okay!”

The next moment, Qing Chen turned around and smiled at Siyue and Wuyue behind him, “Thank you both for your hard work.”

Only to see that these two crows had somehow donned black linen cloaks and were standing despondently in the middle of the chaos, seemingly upset about having to work overtime tonight.
