Naming Technique of the Night - Chapter 99

“It’s a friend. I helped her a couple of times.” Qing Chen was a little surprised by Jiang Xue’s carefulness, even Mom Ye praised her.

Ye Wan didn’t say much else and started applying ointment to him directly.

Qing Chen only felt that his feet were hot and itchy. It was very painful.

This was completely different from what he thought. He thought that the medication from the Inner World would make him feel more comfortable.

Lin Xiaoxiao said, “Hold it. This doesn’t have any pain relief effect but is very good at promoting recovery. Of course, it’s a price to pay for a faster recovery, Everything comes at a cost.”

Li Shutong asked, “You mentioned that there were five thugs. How many did you kill?”

Qing Chen answered, “I killed six.”

Ye Wan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, “Hand over the money. He killed more than four.”

Lin Xiaoxiao said unwillingly, “Hey kid, you’re a bit too cruel… Wait, if there’s only five, how did you kill six? Did you kill a classmate as a sacrifice?”

Qing Chen, “… No. More thugs showed up than expected. There was a total of eight.”

“I see.”

At this time, Qing Chen, who had become accustomed to these two betting against himself. He asked curiously, “How many did you bet that I can kill?”

“Three. I feel like it’ll be incredible enough for you to kill three. This was your first time after all!” Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, “Did you not hesitate at all before killing someone.”

As the question was asked, Li Shutong suddenly started at Qing Chen seriously.

The teenager waited for a moment before answering, “Although it would make me seem indecisive to say this when I killed the first one and felt the blood on my hands, I indeed hesitated and was even a little scared. I wanted to escape from there.”

Li Shutong smiled and said, “This is a natural reaction, if you didn’t hesitate at all, then I should be the one regretting instead. I taught you how to face the world fiercely, but you should always be in awe of life.”

“Yes, teacher. I understand, and I know what you mean,” answered Qing Chen.

“Do you have any priorities this time?” asked Li Shutong, “As your teacher, I can deal with some of them for you.”

“I do have to things,” said Qing Chen, “Let me settle the first one right now.”

As he confirmed that the medication had been applied. He put his shoes back on in pain and waked toward the confinement room/

At first, his walking posture was a little awkward but as he walked, he forced himself to walk normally.

Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, “This kid is so cruel even to himself. But the crueler he is to himself, the crueler he would be to enemies. That’s a good thing.”

Qing Chen put on the mysterious cat mask again. The moment the confinement room door was opened, Liu Dezhu obediently presented three gold bars, and he behaved very well.”

Qing Chen, however, didn’t go get the gold bars but asked calmly, “Tell me what you have done wrong.”

“I shouldn’t have ignored the communication device,” said Liu Dezhu with his eyes lowered, “I shouldn’t have run away by myself, and I shouldn’t have embezzled the gold bars.”

Qing Chen sneered quietly behind the mask and asked, “I know Kun Lun had met with you alone. Tell me what you have talked about with them.”

Liu Dezhu pondered what the boss’s identity in the Outer World was. How come he even knew what Kun Lun was up to?

At this time, he also had some new speculations. Could it be that the boss has many underlings, like the killer on Laojun Mountain?

Could it be that an underling reported to his boss about the watch?

Very likely.

This assumption also confirmed his feeling that Boss didn’t seem like a high schooler.

High schoolers should be like him. Scared when facing danger, and escape when being threatened. No one experienced this before, and even Hu Xiaoniu was also terrified that night.

To be precise, Liu Dezhu felt that there should be no high school students like Qing Chen who could hide behind the scenes and strategize.

In fact, Qing Chen didn’t know that Kun Lun had looked for Liu Dezhu. He just guessed that Kun Lun would definitely look for him.

At this time, Liu Dezhu said, “They asked me if I know your underling, and I didn’t answer. They told me that they didn’t have any bad intentions, and they just found a phone at the scene. It seems that the leader of the thugs received a mysterious call before he died. The caller’s information could not be found.”

While speaking, Liu Dezhu’s eyes glanced at Qing Chen’s feet. Kun Lun also told him about the bloody footprints that were found, and that the killer’s feet must have been seriously injured.

But he found that the boss walked without any abnormality. Looks like his boss wasn’t the one on Laojun Mountain that day.

Moreover, his boss did have such a vicious underling.

“Why did they ask about a call picked up by the thugs?” asked Qing Chen.

“Oh, they said the fingerprints on there were misleading. Normally, a phone would have hundreds of fingerprints, but that one only has a dozen,” said Liu Dezhu. “They thought that the killer picked up that call.”

Generally speaking, a normal phone would be held in the hand frequently, and countless fingerprints should be on it.

But at that time Qing Chen was on the verge of fainting, and he didn’t have time to make so many fingerprints.

Sure enough, those smart people in Kun Lun could easily see through his little tricks.

Liu Dezhu said, “Kun Lun just wanted to ask him what was said through the call and who the person was. Barbecue they believe that it was that person behind the phone who caused Wang Yun to turn against us. This might happen again if it wasn’t dealt with properly, and the situation would escalate quickly.”

He then said, “Boss, can you ask your underling and I can relay the contents of the call?”

Qing Chen didn’t continue this topic and said, “Anything else?”

At this time, Qing Chen felt that it was difficult for him to get any more useful information from Liu Dezhu.

Liu Dezhu was a little stunned and burst into tears, “Boss, are you asking me for my last words?”

Qing Chen asked, “Why should I keep you alive? You think you still got any more value left in yourself?”

As he spoke, Liu Dezhu knelt down to Qing Chen and said, “Boss, I brought all the gold bars back, and I promise I’ll do my absolute best from now on. Please don’t kill me. I’m still useful to you! I can attract all the time travelers in this nation for you, and I’ll be your puppet!”

Liu Dezhu knew very well that even if his boss killed him at this time, his boss would not bear any legal responsibility. No one in the world would know how he died!

Qing Chen got up and said, “It’s too late for you to say this now. Remember, if you do something wrong, you will definitely pay the price. Although you are only a sophomore in high school and you have never experienced the cruelty of society, you have to know some rules, now that you’re in the game.”

Then, he got up and asked out.

In the silence, Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan walked into the confinement room and brought Liu Dezhu to the darkroom that Qing Chen was in.

Of course, Qing Chen was bluffing.

Liu Dezhu couldn’t die yet, but he had to take the punishments.
