Naming Technique of the Night Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Mysterious Organization

Translator: Lordbluefire

Compared to transmigrating to No. 18 Prison Fort, Qing Chen felt that what he had been through tonight was more like a true crisis.

He couldn't affirm who the other party was or what their intentions were.

They had started to tail him just because they had some suspicions about him. This feeling wasn't that good.

It seemed as if from the protected environment in school, he had barged into the real world where wild beasts roamed everywhere.

Or maybe, this was how the real world looked like.

The night was very dark. Qing Chen moved around the urban green area, relying on the tall Chinese parasol trees on both sides of the road to hide his traces.

His stimulated adrenaline and nervousness, which made his heart race, finally dissipated after he had made a lot of detours.

When he returned to his residence in Xingshu Road, Qing Chen even sat in the shadows for half an hour. Only after he ascertained that there wasn't anyone following him did he then return home.

The autumn weather was clear and refreshing, and the temperature was gradually getting colder. However, Qing Chen's back was completely wet.

As Qing Chen walked, he turned on his phone to search for gaming live streamer, He Xiaoxiao. He wanted to see if he had added any new guides.

However, He Xiaoxiao, who had said that he was going to do an introduction of the general situation of the 'Otherworld', wasn't around.

The fans were asking in the comments section why he didn't start a live stream. However, He Xiaoxiao didn't give a reply.

Could this live streamer have been taken away by the mysterious organization as well? How many of such mysterious organizations were there across the country?

Qing Chen wasn't sure.

Suddenly, a police siren rang out outside the district, and a police car drove in.

Qing Chen frowned and followed after it. The police car happened to stop outside the building he lived in. At this moment, a woman's crying, as well as a man's agonized cry, rang out from the second floor.

All the neighbors came out and people from other residential buildings surrounded the block. Qing Chen hid in the crowd and watched quietly.

“What's the matter? What happened?” an old grandpa asked, feeling puzzled.

“Wasn't there a guy who often abused his wife in this block?” An auntie carried a child, cradling the child as she said, “The woman has been hospitalized once, but the man still refused to change. Thereafter, the woman wanted to get a divorce but was beaten up again. The man even said that if she dared to get a divorce, he'd kill her entire family.”

“Then what happened today?” asked someone, puzzled. “The man couldn't have beaten up the woman so badly that something happened, could he? Why does it sound as if the man is the one in trouble?”

“You're right about that,” said the auntie. “I wanted to go up to stop the fight earlier but realized that this time around, it was the woman who beat up the man.”

“What the hell?” Someone was astonished.

“That man drank too much tonight and wanted to beat his wife again. Guess what happened? We've all heard the news that many people transmigrated, right? His wife seems to have been transmigrated back too,” the auntie said with great interest. “At the beginning, the woman was still the one receiving the beating, but she might have been pushed too far earlier that she retaliated and broke that man's leg. It's just a pity for the little girl from this family. She has to be put through this at such a young age.”

Qing Chen finally felt at ease upon hearing this. To be honest, he didn't pity the man and even felt like laughing.

Was there something even more cowardly than a man beating up his wife?

Yes, not being able to win at it.

This family of three lived above his level. In the past two years, when he came back from night self-revision, he often saw the woman carrying her daughter, squatting downstairs and crying.

The woman looked like she was close to 30 years old and quite pretty. However, her husband often had the feeling that she had an affair outside and thus would get drunk and beat her up.

Later on, Qing Chen heard from his neighbors that this man would go home and beat her up every time he saw her talking with other guys.

He deserved it to get beaten up into a cripple.

At this moment, the police had gone up to get their statements. The man was carried up into the ambulance in a miserable state.

Qing Chen took a look. His arms were bent in an irregular form, clearly fractured.

As the ambulance left, the police waved their hands to gesture to everyone to disperse.

Qing Chen was planning to go home, but he had just stepped into the corridor when he saw the little girl sitting outside his house, looking aggrieved.

“Brother, my mom told me to stay at your house for a while earlier. I knocked on your door, but you weren't at home,” said the little girl with a sobbing voice.

Her name was Li Tongyun. This wasn't the first time she had come to Qing Chen's house to hide.

Qing Chen wasn't a busybody, but there was once when the couple was having a fight, the little girl squatted by the corridor and was crying.

Back then, Qing Chen had just come back from night self-revision in school. When he was about to pass by the little girl, the man came out to look for her. Hence, she asked Qing Chen if she could hide at his house for a while.

In the end, Qing Chen agreed.

That night, he made soy-fried rice for the little girl. He even played an animated film for her on his phone.

It was until after everything settled down did he send the little girl back home.

The woman from upstairs heard about this at a later time. She then had the little girl go to Qing Chen's house every time they had a fight.

The woman had felt bad about this in the past, saying that Qing Chen could bring his dirty laundry upstairs for her to wash. However, Qing Chen was worried that the man would come looking for trouble and thus didn't say anything.

At this moment, Qing Chen patted the little girl's head. “Have you eaten?”

“I had some biscuits, but I'm still a little hungry,” Li Tongyun said shyly.

“Come on, I haven't had dinner either. I'll make you some fried rice.” Qing Chen had spent all his savings on preparing supplies previously. However, even though he was out of money, he had plenty of condiments and rice at home. “After you're done eating later, it'll probably be fine at your mom's side too. Don't be scared. In the future, your father won't be able to win against your mother.”

“Can I still go to your house then?” Li Tongyun suddenly asked.

“Of course…”

Qing Chen was just about to say something when his countenance suddenly changed. He rapidly took out his key to open the door, pulling Li Tongyun in as well.

Li Tongyun looked puzzled as she looked at Qing Chen. “Brother, what's the matter?”

After that, he closed the curtains and looked out through a gap.

“It's fine. Don't talk for now,” Qing Chen said.

As they spoke, an off-road vehicle drove in.

This was one of the cars he had seen at Yinrun Central Garden tonight!

The other party probably rushed over upon hearing that a transmigrator had appeared here.

Qing Chen felt his heart racing. He didn't expect their reaction to be so fast.

At this moment, two young men got out of the car. One of them was wearing a black sweatshirt and the other a gray coat.

They were clearly the two men who had tailed Qing Chen previously.

Qing Chen's heart started to palpitate. He was thinking if this was an inevitable clash between opposing factions.

At the next moment, the young man in the black sweatshirt looked in the direction of Qing Chen's window. The latter immediately got up and hid in the back.

“What's the matter?” asked the companion of the man in the black sweatshirt.

The young man smiled and said, “It's nothing, I'm just taking a casual look. I kept having the feeling that someone is sizing me up, but I must have thought too much about it. Let's go, we have important work to do upstairs.”

Qing Chen was a little worried for the woman upstairs.

To put it more accurately, he was worried that if the woman was brought away, then Li Tongyun would be very pitiful.

Her father was sent to the hospital and her mother was brought away by a mysterious organization. What would she do in the future?

Ten minutes passed. Before Qing Chen thought of what to do, the two young men had gone down.

They got in the car sharply and left, but they didn't bring Li Tongyun's mother with them.

What was this situation? Qing Chen was a little perplexed. Weren't they going to bring away all the transmigrators?

Slowly, the police car left too, and the sound of door-knocking rang out outside his house.

After that, Qing Chen went to open the door and saw Li Tongyun's mother standing outside with messy hair and a cut on the corner of her lips. There were even traces of blood on her face.

The woman seemed to realize that her appearance wasn't good and hurriedly tucked her messy hair behind her ears.

She said softly to Qing Chen, “I'm sorry to have troubled you again.”
