Naming Technique of the Night - Chapter 144

The sudden death shocked everyone.

Along with Kamidai Josuke and Kamidai Ori, nearly a hundred people silently watched as that person slumped to the ground.

No one dared to come forward to help, because the way he died was just too weird.

Despite morning having just arrived, there was very little sunlight in the dark and dense forest.

The leaves swayed and rustled, making it seem as though anything could have been the murderer, including the grass, shrubs, trees, and flowers.

“Miss Yinuo, it’s someone from the branch family of the Chen Family.” Wang Bingxu walked towards the deceased and squatted down beside his corpse, quietly scanning it. “There’s no external injury, he strangled his neck using both hands. But we still can’t determine whether he died due to self-strangulation or other causes.”

Everyone knew this man died because of breaking one of the rules, but no one knew what the rule was.

Unable to restrain her mouth, a girl quickly spoke, “I got it, this Forbidden Land No. 002 probably doesn’t allow…”

Before she could finish, just like the Chen Family youth, her cheeks began turning red. She tried hard to say something, to ask for help, yet she was unable to utter a word.

Both her hands moved to strangle her own neck, seemingly wanting to take something out of it, but her struggle was fruitless.

Li Yinuo slowly put down her raised arm. “She can’t be saved anymore, don’t bother. She died because of her own foolishness.”

Keep your secrets and remember your findings, but never tell anyone a Forbidden Land’s rules in its own land.

It would kill those who did.

Regarding this universal rule of Forbidden Lands, it was as if there lied a sleeping deity in each Forbidden Land, all of them in a pact to guard their own secrets and slaughter anyone who dared to divulge.

Li Yinuo stared at everyone, “I believe all of you here have a clear understanding of where we are right now. If you really don’t know what to say, it’s better to keep your mouth shut.”

She was pondering over what exactly was the rule the first casualty broke.

Beside her, Nan Gengchen kept silent as a stone. He knew he couldn’t be of much help, so the least he could do was not be a hindrance.

At this time, one of the no-good corporation descendants unclasped his belt and turned around, wanting to relieve himself. He couldn’t hold back his urge, but he didn’t dare to be away from the crowd.

Li Yinuo looked at the man who turned his back, came to a shocking realization, and loudly shouted at him, “Stop! Hold it back!”

In an instant, he forcibly stopped himself before he could urinate.

Li Yinuo glanced around and saw a lot of people twisting their legs due to the urge to urinate, unable to hold back for much longer.

They had been fleeing since last night without the chance to relieve themselves along the way.

Everyone looked back at Li Yinuo at a loss, but after hesitating a few times, she didn’t give them an explanation.

She figured out what the rule was!

Li Yinuo brought Wang Bingxu to the tree where the first casualty came from.

Wang Bingxu saw the water marks on the roots and could tell that they came from urine.

He looked at her in surprise, “Miss Yinuo…”

“Shut up,” Li Yinuo said coldly, “Don’t be the second person who died stupidly.”

Now, she had finally determined why the first person was punished.

Who could have expected that one of the rules actually prohibited people from urinating and defecating on the ground!?

Just how mysophobic was the superhuman who left this rule?

She took Wang Bingxu to venture back and found two oil barrels from the trunk of the Kamidai Family vehicle that crashed onto a tree.

Li Yinuo dumped out all the oil and returned to the group with the empty barrels. “Ladies first, queue up and pee in these. Remember to pee cleanly. Also, don’t drink a single drop of water before we get out of here.”

She didn’t even dare to say ‘don’t pee on the ground’ for fear of breaking the rules.

Until now, they still couldn’t find the exact cause of death of the first casualty. The Forbidden Land would not directly obliterate a person who violated its rules. It would, however, let all the plants and animals living in it attack those who did.

Li Yinuo scanned the area. Everyone was currently lining up to pee inside the oil barrel behind a big tree. As for defecating, they had no other choice but to hold back the urge.

Wait a moment, why did she not see Qin Cheng, Qin Yiyi and the others?

Without anyone noticing, these wilderness hunters had unexpectedly left the group.

…

Under the dense canopy of Forbidden Land No. 2, Qin Cheng was pulling Qin Yiyi’s wrist while running towards the east with the rest of his family.

Although everyone was already tired from running, Qin Cheng still had no intention of stopping.

Because this place was too dangerous.

Forbidden Land No. 2 was known as one of the places with the most rules, which meant that the longer you stay, the higher the probability of accidentally breaking the rules.

If you were forced to enter a Forbidden Land, the best course of action was to leave as soon as possible!

And the reason why they chose this direction was because prior to leaving with Qing Chen, Li Shutong had personally told Qin Yiyi: ‘Go east until you find a small stream, continue moving eastward along the stream, and you’ll be able to find a way out. The path is only 3 kilometers long, once you leave this place, you’ll survive.’

At that time, Qin Yiyi didn’t realize Li Shutong and Qing Chen planned to leave their team.

Then they disappeared without a trace, and she was left with disappointment.

The girl ran with her father through the dark woods. Once they heard the sound of flowing stream, they continued following it towards the east.

After reaching a certain point, a sense of warmth suddenly enveloped them, and the feeling of being watched by some kind of terrifying existence finally disappeared.

Qin Cheng bent over, propping his hands on his knees. At his age, running over that amount of distance was enough to make him gasp for breath.

He looked at his dazed daughter and sighed.

Qin Yiyi’s brother suddenly said to her, “That middle-aged man told us to go to City 18 and find a man named Su Xingzhi, remember?”

He was implying that since they could look for his teacher’s subordinate, she would certainly be able to meet the boy sooner or later.

But Qin Yiyi stubbornly shook her head. “Mom, dad, brother, I don’t want to go to City 18, I want to go to the Firepit, I know I’ll be able to gain power there.”

Qin Cheng was unconvinced. “Let’s find that Su Xingzhi, maybe he can give you genetic medicine. I think that middle-aged man likes you quite a lot.”

Qin Yiyi pursed his lips and shook her head.

Without telling anyone, the girl hid her intention in her heart.
