Night’s Nomenclature

Countdown 16:30:00.

At 7:30 in the morning, the large protest had already marched north for 30 minutes.

Such a long distance for walking in the cold late autumn was a challenge of physical strength for the students.

However, they also want to express their determination in this way.

Moreover, they also hope to attract more attention along the way, so that the entire Federation could come to realize what the students wanted.

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were looking at them. Some were hoping to see accidents happening during the protest, while others were hoping for their success.

Among the crowd, everyone would shout slogans for education reform every time they passed through the clustered communities.

Thousands of students who took part in organizing the parade spread out among the crowd, pushing small carts to distribute food and water.

The food was protein bars bought at a bulk discounted price, and the drink was simply bottled water, but there was definitely enough for everyone.

However, the protest was not as smooth as expected. Every time they passed through a district, the Public Security Management Committee of the urban area would reinspect their protest permits.

During every inspection, the protesters had to stand in the cold wind and wait for half an hour.

They had to pass through 4 districts, so it would take 2 hours to check through the legal documents alone.

The students looked at the protesters who stood shivering in the cold wind. They suddenly realized that someone was trying to slow them down, letting them fall apart in the cold wind.

Although someone approved the protest under the pressure of public opinion, they did not want the protest to reach the upper three districts smoothly.

The protesters gradually became irritated. They loudly vented their dissatisfaction, yelling at the Public Security Management Committee who were reviewing the documents in front of them. The students, however, still tried to remain calm and comforted the other protesters around them, “Be rational, everyone. This is what they want to see. They want us to lose control, and the media will deliberately exaggerate this!”

However, at this moment, a student suddenly saw that a protester quietly took out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at the Public Security Management Committee agent.

There was no anger in the protester’s expression.

The student understood that this person wasn’t a protester at all but was trying to terrorize the protest!

He wanted to say something to stop the man, but the next moment, his mouth was covered from behind.

The student wanted to struggle, but to his surprise, instead of pulling the trigger, the protester with a gun froze in place.

And then, a hand wearing a black leather glove covered the gunman’s mouth from behind, preventing him from making the slightest noise.

Soon, the gunman was put into a black cloth bag, stuffed into a cart delivering sponsored food and drinks, which then was slowly pushed away.

Until this moment, the hand covering the student’s mouth was released.

The student looked back excitedly, only to see a young man with neatly combed hair, “Don’t yell, it will cause panic.”

“But…” the student who wanted to say something didn’t know where to start. Moreover, he felt that the man in front of him looked familiar as if he had seen the person in the news.

The young man was wearing a black windbreaker and a well-crafted suit with a golden pocket watch.

The man gave a rare smile, “Don’t worry, Heng Group will find those saboteurs. You can just focus on your protest and let us deal with these people playing those dirty tricks.”

Hearing the words Heng Group, the student finally remembered who the person in front of them was!

Heng Group, Li Dongze?!

But the student couldn’t understand. Wasn’t the Heng Group in charge of the underground industry? Why would such a person come to protect the protesters?

While he was still thinking, Li Dongze had already disappeared into the crowd. Li Dongze and the other members of the Heng Group pushed more than two dozen small carts outside, and each cart had a saboteur stuffed inside.

The protest has just begun, and today they all have a journey ahead.

At this moment, Li Dongze, who was walking silently among the crowd, suddenly turned his head and saw a crystal-clear snowflake falling on the shoulder of his coat.

The coat was black, and the snowflakes were white, making them both seem abrupt and harmonious with each other.

Li Dongze looked towards the sky, “It’s snowing. Heavy snow is coming.”

And the protesters still have a long walk left in this heavy snow.

…

…

Meanwhile…

Prison 18 was quiet. People were still waiting for mealtime.

When Qing Chen saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. Qing Chen walked up to them with a smile and greeted them as if they were old friends reunited.

Compared with the apartment in Sixth District’s Luoshen Building, this was more like Qing Chen’s home, and the two men in front of him were like his family.

The familiar reading area, the familiar training space, and the familiar cafeteria. Even when Qing Chen looked up and saw the Metal Storm attached to the ceiling, he still felt a sense of belonging.

This was a strange feeling. It was like he took a trip outside and finally returned to his home field.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan looked at each other and smiled. They were quite happy to see Qing Chen again after many days as well.

Ye Wan looked at Qing Chen, “Have you climbed the Qingshan Great Cliff?”

Lin Xiaoxiao laughed happily and said, “I went up the cliff.”

Ye Wan looked at him slowly, “I’m not here to joke around.”

“Hehe, fine.” Lin Xiaoxiao said with disappointment.

Ye Wan looked at Qing Chen again: “I saw what you did in the boxing ring. It’s not bad overall, but your fundamentals are still far from acceptable. I hope you can make a solid plan for yourself.”

“Hey, do you have to talk about working again just after he came back?!” Lin Xiaoxiao was not happy.

At this time, when Qing Chen heard Ye Wan mention boxing, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Shutong, “Master, does Jian Xiaotang from the Haitang Boxing Club know you?”

“Jiang Xiaotang?” Lin Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows.

Qing Chen looked over but found that Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t intend to speak anymore, as if he didn’t want to talk about this woman.

“What’s the matter, is there something wrong with her?” Qing Chen wondered, “Why does it seem that you felt something very strongly against her?”

“Ask Boss, I don’t want to mention what happened,” Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Li Shutong explained with a smile, “She, like Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan, was once an abandoned orphan, but something happened later, so Lin Xiaoxiao and the others don’t like her very much.”

Upon knowing that she was once adopted by Li Shutong as well, everything made more sense to Qing Chen. No wonder she suddenly wanted him to call her sister, and even promised him cruiserweight benefits for doing so.

Qing Chen was a little puzzled, “Can you tell me what happened?”

“It’s all over. There’s no point in bringing it up again.” Li Shutong said with a smile, “Xiaoxiao, find a video of Xu Linsen. The clearer the better.”

Lin Xiaoxiao knew what Li Shutong wanted to do and came back with a tablet after a while. After clicking on it, Xu Linsen appeared on the screen. He was looking into the camera calmly and spoke. “I announce that the Spades are responsible for the recent attack on the Wildlife Conservation Association in the wilderness. But I’m also here to expose what the Wildlife Conservation Association had done.”

As he said that, the camera turned, and behind him lay a group of antelopes, some of which had just been stripped of their fur.

The bodies of those antelopes were discarded on the tidal flats, which looked extremely cruel.

The camera turned back to Xu Linsen’s face as he continued, “The Wildlife Conservation Association left the cities in the name of research but ended up carrying guns and ammunition to hunt endangered species, providing fur business for the federation’s dignitaries. To other such organizations, we, the Spades, will kill one every time we see one…”

Qing Chen was a little surprised. He didn’t expect the Spades to be responsible for such acts.

Nor did he expect the so-called Wildlife Conservation Association of the Federation would do such things.

The next moment, Qing Chen’s face began to change, and in just a few seconds, he changed into Xu Linsen’s appearance.

“How’s the voice?” Qing Chen asked.

Lin Xiaoxiao praised, “ACE-005 is the perfect item for you! When Boss was using this, it would always take hours to get the details right. It was truly a nightmare just watching… Hem… sorry, Boss.”

Li Shutong waved his hands impatiently, “Get ready to release the prisoners. I’ll be behind the scenes today and wait for the chaos to start.”

“Wait, Master,” Qing Chen asked, “You haven’t told me about Xu Linsen’s situation yet, Guo Huchan should know him well, right?”

Li Shutong said seriously, “Don’t worry, you are just a little taller than Xu Linsen. Most people won’t be able to tell. Act all you want. Today, I need you to muddy the water. I want to see what monsters and snakes are hiding in Prison 18.”

“Okay,” Qing Chen nodded and then walked out of the gate.

At 8 o’clock, a familiar broadcast sounded in the prison, “Prisoners, please…”

When the alloy cell doors started opening, all the doors opened at the same time. The prisoners in the rooms were confused. They had been eating in separate groups for a while now, so why did it change all of a sudden today?

Everyone walked out of the cell hesitantly and stood still in the corridors.

At this moment, the North Entrance of the prison square slowly raised, and two mechanical prison guards escorted ‘Xu Linsen’ in.

The next moment, everyone heard Guo Huchan’s voice, “Boss?!”

Boss… Upon hearing that word, Qing Chen suddenly felt his heart sink.

What did Li Shutong say just now? Muddy the waters? Qing Chen felt that all those were random excuses. His master just wanted to see how funny he would be with the Forbidden Item ACE-005!

Qing Chen could even imagine the scene where his master, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Ye Wan were laughing in a security room while watching him!
