Night’s Nomenclature

All the prisoners in Prison 18 were silent after this sudden turn of events.

Ones who were exercising previously quietly put down their weights.

Previously, Li Shutong was the only person they had to be concerned about. Despite the fact that they couldn't irritate him in any manner, the demigod was unconcerned by other people's affairs.

In this prison, the rules were controlled by him. As long as you followed them and didn’t stick out you wouldn’t die.

But now it was different.

Even an idiot knew that the Qing Family wouldn't just send a person here for nothing.

Guo Huchan and the Qing Family arrived: a sure sign of the storm to come.

Next to the table sat Guo Huchan, he was eating some real meat this time. He ate so fast that it seemed like he hadn’t received a meal in weeks.

"Don't just sit there and eat," Ye Wan said to Guo Huchan as he stood behind Li Shutong, ”Is he one of your men? I heard there are still some strange dialects out there in the wastelands.”

"Nope, and he definitely isn’t from the wastelands either," Guo Huchan said as he rubbed his greasy mouth, "When did you see a person from the wastelands with such a light skin tone?”

Ye Wan frowned, “Good point.”

"All my people were already dug out by my little brother Qing Chen. Don't worry, I’ll be fine on my own!” Guo Huchan said pleasantly, "Could you bring some real meat to my men as well?”

"Is it that hard to get meat in the wastelands?" Ye Wan was doubtful.

Guo Huchan said, "How can we have time to raise livestock if the corporations launch an attack every other day? And recently, two more forbidden lands appeared in the wastelands. We don't have nearly as much living space as you may believe. Of course, if Qing Chen wishes to travel, we'll make sure you have enough food.”

Another new term… The forbidden lands

Based on the name, it could possibly be related to the forbidden items.

This time, Guo Huchan patted Qing Chen's shoulder and said, "If little brother Qing Chen wants to come to the wastelands with us, I can guarantee you to have all the food you want to eat!”

Li Shutong was puzzled, "Why do you want him so badly? Can't you tell? He's from the Qing Family. If he competes for the Qing Family's Shadow, wouldn’t he be much better off?"

"How would that be the same?" Guo Huchan huffed loudly, "He doesn't know if he would get a position as the Shadow. Why take the enormous risk of becoming a Shadow when the process is so difficult? If you go to the wastelands, you can get everything you want, and won’t have to work hard at all! ”

Li Shutong laughed, "What do you think you got on the wasteland? Why should he go with you?”

Qing Chen said calmly beside them, "He’s got a big mouth waiting for me."

Guo Huchan: "…"

Qing Chen was calm on the surface, but he knew very well what was about to happen.

Lin Xiaoxiao would soon return, and Qing Chen knew that the hardest test had yet to come.

Qing Chen gained a separate life after transmigrating, but he still didn't have a trump card.

He didn’t have a backup plan or anywhere to go if things went wrong.

There would be no way out for him.

……

In a quiet corner of Prison 18, Lin Xiaoxiao sat in an interrogation room, observing the transmigrator who claimed to be from Sichuan, Jian Sheng.

In the dark interrogation room, dust particles could be clearly seen from the pale rays emitted from the LED light hanging above.

Jian Sheng was still sound asleep, and Jian Sheng just ended his nightmare after being shouted at for a very long time…

What a short-tempered person… Lin Xiaoxiao thought.

Honestly, he was curious where this person came from. The person yelled at him for half an hour straight without repeating a single sentence.

Jian Sheng slowly woke up. He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and immediately opened his mouth, "You…"

"STOP," Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted quickly, "Please stop talking. I'm getting a fucking headache just from listening to your voice. Can we just chat normally?”

"I'm gon’ to hit you with a face-full of shit…"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "…"

Lin Xiaoxiao activated his special power to draw the man back into his nightmare just as he was ready to start ranting again. After feeling dizzy for a moment, Jian Sheng quickly fell asleep.

"What did I do to deserve this…" Lin Xiaoxiao sighed and went to the room next door, where Liu Dezhu stayed.

This time, Lin Xiaoxiao got straight to the point and brought Liu Dezhu to see Huang Qixian's status.

Huang Qixian's arms and legs were both tied to a hospital bed. The teen was muttering something in his mouth while struggling.

Lin Xiaoxiao said to Xiaoxiao, "Did you see him? If you answer my questions honestly, you won’t end up like him, understand?”

Liu Dezhu didn't even have the guts to feign confidence, "Yes, yes… I'll tell you everything I know! I am a high school student from another parallel universe…"

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a sudden relief hearing how the words spilled out like an opened bag of beans.

If he knew this, he would've started with this one. Why did he have to be tortured by that Jian Sheng weirdo?!

"Where's Luo City?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"Luo City is the city I live in," said Luo City.

"How many people transmigrated?”

"I don't know. Some say thousands, but some have said there are over ten thousand already.”

Lin Xiaoxiao became serious, "What did you come here for? Why did you come to our boss Li Shutong?”

Liu Dezhu looked like he was about to cry, "We are chosen by random. No one knew who and where they would be until they transmigrated. I just heard that Li Shutong can offer a great career path if people happen to get in Prison 18…"

Liu Dezhu told him everything he knew. In the three hours, Lin Xiaoxiao finished questioning Liu Dezhu. During the time, Jian Sheng awoke three times, cursed at him twenty-seven times, and knocked him three times.

At first, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that the transmigrations were real, but after hearing that everything Liu Dezhu said was true, he was somewhat convinced.

He believed that idiots like Liu Dezhu who even thought that his boss was an NPC in a game wouldn't be able to think of much more than the blunt truth.

So, he had to believe that Liu Dezhu was telling the truth.

The most fictional occurrence happened.

The interrogation room fell dead silent. Liu Dezhu didn't even dare to make a sound.

After a long long time, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Have you heard of a song called ‘Farewell?'"

Liu Dezhu was slightly surprised by the question, "Yeah.”

"Is ‘the friends in hearts have gone their separate ways' part of the lyrics?”

"Yeah, how do you know?" Liu Dezhu was utterly confused.

Lin Xiaoxiao's frowning face relaxed.

He understood now.

At this very moment, thousands of transmigrators mixed into the native population of this world and were living among them.

Their lives were entwined with their new existence here, and they had many identities.

However, this was not the most crucial discovery.

The most crucial thing he discovered was Qing Chen's secret.
