Naming Technique of the Night Chapter 19

“Are you okay?” Qing Chen looked at the woman outside the door and asked.

This was the first time he was seriously sizing her up. In the past, the two of them would always meet in a hurry. Moreover, because of the domestic violence she suffered from, the woman would deliberately avoid other men, even though Qing Chen was only a high school student.

This should be the trauma left behind by domestic violence.

At this moment, the woman's palm and arm had become mechanical limbs. Qing Chen realized that her mechanical limbs were more beautiful than what most of the prisoners in No. 18 Prison Fort had. They had smooth and elegant lines yet were filled with the beauty of power.

If it wasn't for the long sleeves covering them, they would probably look even better.

This woman was indeed good-looking. Although there were already some fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, they added some charm to her eyes. However, it could not hide the gentle disposition she had.

The woman looked at Qing Chen and said awkwardly, “I didn't expect to trouble you again.”

“It's fine.” Qing Chen shook his head. “I was planning to cook for Li Tongyun. I like her a lot.”

The woman nodded and said to Li Tongyun, “Let's go, Little Yun. Come home with Mom.”

Li Tongyun said pitifully, “I'm still hungry. The house has been smashed by the two of you, so I won't have anything to eat when I get back.”

The woman was a little angry when she heard this. “Be good and don't cause trouble for him anymore!”

However, Qing Chen suddenly said, “I heard from Little Yun that you guys haven't eaten yet. Why don't you come to my house to have some food?”

The woman and Li Tongyun were both stunned. Although Qing Chen had helped them in the past, he had never taken the initiative to express his enthusiasm.

He looked like he was afraid of getting into trouble.

“I also want to know some things about transmigration,” explained Qing Chen. “So I wanted to ask… Uh, how should I address you?”

“My name is Jiang Xue,” the woman replied.

“En, I just want to ask Auntie Jiang Xue about the things in the Otherworld,” said Qing Chen. “Would it be convenient for you to share?”

To be honest, Jiang Xue was only 12 years older than Qing Chen. Calling her auntie made her seem a little old, but he had known Li Tongyun first, so he could only address her that way.

“There's nothing inconvenient about that,” said Jiang Xue. “You can ask me about this at any time. I won't trouble you anymore. I'll go home to pack my things and then I'll be able to cook for Little Yun.”

“Mom, let's eat at Brother's house,” Li Tongyun said in a soft voice.

Jiang Xue looked at Little Yun's pleading expression and sighed. “I'll have to trouble you then.”

From the start to the end, this woman looked embarrassed. Qing Chen could feel the guilt she felt.

Would a person with such a personality be able to live well in the ferocious Otherworld?

Qing Chen suppressed his curiosity and waited until he brought the soy sauce fried rice to the table before finally saying nonchalantly, “I saw the police coming to deal with the case. What did they say?”

Jiang Xue replied, “Thankfully, the neighbors helped me explain the situation. The police were going to take me back to the station, but considering that I have a daughter and that it was out of self-defense, they let me stay. If there's anything, they'll inform me to go over.”

Only then did Qing Chen ask what he wanted to ask the most. “I saw two more people coming later on. What did they come for?”

“I don't know what they do either.” Jiang Xue shook her head. “The other party understood some things from the police officers and asked me to fill out a form. Then, they took a couple of photos of my identification card and left.”

Qing Chen was stunned. “That's it?”

“Oh right, they also said that they might look for me in the future and asked me not to leave Luo City for now. But they didn't say why they were looking for me,” Jiang Xue replied.

“The police didn't care about them either?” Qing Chen was curious.

“They seemed to have shown some identification documents to the police officers.” Jiang Xue explained, “I don't know the details. Anyway, I didn't care about them.”

This time, Qing Chen gained a preliminary understanding of those people.

First of all, the other party didn't capture all the transmigrators they saw immediately.

Secondly, they had official identification documents.

No matter what, at least they weren't as crazy as he thought they were, and this made Qing Chen feel much more at ease.

Suddenly, Qing Chen asked Jiang Xue, “Auntie Jiang Xue, what identity do you have in the Otherworld?”

The name 'Otherworld' had slowly spread after He Xiaoxiao made his guide.

It was considered to be the public name everyone had for that world people were transmigrating to.

Jiang Xue replied, “I opened a mechanical clinic in City No. 18, and it's just to help people install mechanical prosthetics. However, I didn't know anything after I transmigrated. So, when people came to ask to install mechanical limbs, I could only say that they were out of stock.”

Qing Chen nodded. It was true that such technical work couldn't be mastered within one or two days.

“Then your arms…” he asked.

“I already had mechanical prosthetics when I went over. When I came back, they came back with me,” Jiang Xue replied.

Qing Chen asked again, “I saw a transmigrator's introduction about the No. 18 Prison Fort. Where is this place?”

“It's at the borders of City No. 18,” Jiang Xue replied. “This prison is quite well-known. It seems to be specially used to detain serious criminals. It has the highest defense level in the federation.”

“It is a federation system?” Qing Chen hesitated for a moment. “What other things does Auntie Jiang Xue know?”

“I have only transmigrated for two days and haven't figured things out yet.” Jiang Xue shook her head.

At this moment, Li Tongyun asked, “Mom, what is the name of your clinic?”

“It's called Jiang Xue Mechanical Limbs Clinic,” Jiang Xue replied. “Why are you asking this?”

“I'm just asking,” Li Tongyun ate the soy-fried rice while saying.

Qing Chen took note of this name, but he probably didn't have the ability to help her for now either.

If he were to help, he'd have to do it through Lu Guangyi or Li Shutong. However, how should he explain how he got to know Jiang Xue?

He was still unsure how the people from the Otherworld would treat transmigrators. If Jiang Xue was exposed, wouldn't he be exposed too?

He should wait a little more. It seemed that Jiang Xue wasn't in any danger for now.

Jiang Xue looked at Qing Chen and asked, “Why are you so curious about things in the Otherworld?”

“I also want to transmigrate over and take a look,” said Qing Chen while smiling. “I'm quite envious of transmigrators like you.”

Jiang Xue shook her head. “That world is very dangerous. Other than the people from the Li Clan, Chen Clan, Qing Clan, Kamishiro, and Kashima Corporation, other people live miserable lives every day. It's worse off than the Surface World.”

Qing Chen thought to himself that he was someone from the Qing Clan, but he was also living in misery.

After that, he asked, “What are your plans from now on?”

“I'm thinking of bringing Little Yun to live at her maternal grandmother's place in Zheng City for some time. I'll be leaving tomorrow and then come back to settle the divorce with Little Yun's father,” Jiang Xue said.

Qing Chen suddenly thought of something and reminded her, “Then you should buy the tickets first. There are many people heading to Zheng City every day, and the tickets aren't easy to get hold of.”

Jiang Xue didn't think too much about it and purchased a ticket to Zheng City through a mobile application. The payment was successful, but when it was time to dispense the ticket information, it indicated that the ticket dispense failed!

As expected.

Qing Chen sank into deep thought. When he heard that they weren't allowing Jiang Xue to leave Luo City but didn't take any restrictive measures, he guessed that they might have other measures.

The reason the mysterious organization had taken photos of Jiang Xue's identification card was probably to restrict her ability to travel.
