Night’s Nomenclature

sobbing quietly.

The screaming from earlier seemed to have alerted people outside the courtyard.

In the house, next door, the owner of B&B, who was preparing food for dishes, wiped his hands on his apron and walked out the yard.

He stood on the road in front of his door and looked toward the neighboring house.

A man in a police uniform was standing at the door, as if he was on duty.

The curious restaurant owner walked over and asked, “Officer, what’s happening here?”

The middle-aged man in a police uniform answered, “Someone was drunk here.
All right, stop watching, go back.”

“Oh-oh, okay.” The owner nodded and was about to return to his house.

As he walked, he felt something was wrong.
The man clutched his phone and was about to call the police as soon as he get back.

But before he got back to his doorsteps, he felt a blade stabbing into his body.
It went in through his ribs and ripped diagonally to his heart and lungs. 

A hand wearing a black leather glove tightly covered his mouth and dragged him into Yunshang Inn.

Immediately, a criminal in the police uniform returned outside and closed the doors.

His hand was placed next to his waist.

At this time, everyone in Yunshang Inn was gathered in the backyard.
Some students were trembling in fear as the criminals started collecting their phones with two black plastic bags.

The criminals even remembered to check every phone to make sure it was turned off before throwing it into the bag.

Liu Dezhu, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Tianzhen were also pushed back toward the crowd, and a criminal with a scar on his face opened up a bag in front of them.

The three of them took out their phones obediently, but the criminal didn’t walk away and stared at Hu Xiaoniu coldly.

Hu Xiaoniu sighed in his heart.
He took out another phone from his left pocket and threw it into the plastic bag.

The criminal sneered and pushed the three into the crowd.

The man in the black coat walked to Liu Dezhu and smiled as he said, “I’ll give you one more chance.
Tell me how you suddenly found out about our plans and know exactly that we’re surrounding this place?”

Liu Dezhu trembled with his mouth shut.
Once in a blue moon, he had some guts. 

The criminal smiled, “You aren’t going to tell me? Then, let me guess… Outside of Yunshang Inn, you still have a time traveler partner, right?”

Liu Dezhu realized that even when the man knew the truth, he wasn’t worried at all.

Could it be that they got more trump cards not yet revealed? Or, they must have more people hiding somewhere.

…

At this very moment, Qing Chen was standing in the room, silently.
He was holding the switchblade he brought back, and behind him was Jiang Xue, who also just returned.

Qing Chen heard vaguely the sound but didn’t realize that it was the sound of a silenced pistol.

However, the owner of the B&B they were staying in never returned after he left.

Looking at the blade in his hand, Jiang Xue realized something, “Xiao Chen, what are you going to do?”

Qing Chen took off the shoes on his feet and turned to go out, “Aunt Jiang Xue, please take care of Xiao Yun and wait here.
Lock the door and don’t go out.
Don’t worry, I will be fine.”

“Maybe I can help you with something.
I have a mechanical arm!” Jiang Xue said from behind.

Qing Chen suddenly turned and looked directly in her eyes, “But you don’t have fighting experience.
Trust me, I’ll be back.”

After that, he disappeared outside the door.
