Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 459: Fish and Bait

"Does anyone know where that Qing Chen Supervisor went?" Director Zhou asked with a smile, squatting in front of everyone. He looked at the crew members huddled together, like a cat looking at a mouse.

Playful.

No one answered him.

Director Zhou raised his hand and pulled the trigger. Director Zhang of the crew was shot in the chest and fell into a pool of blood, his Face[-] full of pain.

People in the camp screamed. Some tried to get up and run, but before they could, they were knocked to the ground by the armed personnel with their gun butts.

Director Zhou didn't speak, shooting each of the crew members who tried to escape, including one of the stars he brought.

For a moment, everyone was silent. These thugs were more ferocious than they had imagined, killing people without hesitation.

Director Zhou asked with a smile, "If no one answers, who do you think will die next? Did anyone see which direction he went?"

Qing Yi said coldly, "You can kill me next. Everyone here listen, these people have their faces uncovered, so they don't plan to leave anyone alive. Don't think you can beg your way back alive. If you live, they can't return to the Federation, they'll be left to wander in the wilderness."

There were too many Wildlanders in this wilderness, originally fugitives from the Federation. Since they couldn't return to the Federation, they could only abandon modern life and live like savages.

Without enough medicine, entertainment, or food.

This was very miserable for many people in the Federation.

Director Zhou exclaimed, "The Shadow Candidate is indeed courageous."

"Killing a Shadow Candidate will be a dead end for outsiders. It's better to wander in the wilderness," Qing Yi sneered. "Once you kill me, Shadow will hunt you down to the ends of the earth. With so many people on this mission, do you think someone will betray you someday?"

Director Zhou shook his head with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

Qing Yi was startled.

Killing a Shadow Candidate was unforgivable for the Qing Family, but if a certain condition was met, the Qing Family wouldn't interfere.

That is, participating in the Shadow Succession.

Therefore, if Director Zhou wasn't really afraid of Shadow's revenge, it meant that there was another Shadow Candidate behind him.

Were these people from the Qing Family?

And who was the Shadow Candidate behind them?

Was it because those big shots had decided to cut off Shadow's wings?

Director Zhou said, "The person you respect, the person who supports you in participating in the Shadow Succession, has already abandoned you and run away. Why bother protecting him anymore?"

Qing Yi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Li Yu said, "When you came, he was sitting by the bonfire on the edge. He was wearing a baseball cap. I think he might have already escaped into the woods. You should go chase him."

Qing Yi looked at Li Yu coldly and sneered, "If you let the master escape, he'll have a chance to seek support. Now you've destroyed the last chance. You're so stupid."

Director Zhou smiled and stood up, saying into the communication headset on his ear, "Search the woods, maintain a five-meter distance."

The crew members held captive in the camp were desperate. There were still thugs in the woods.

Strangely, after a few minutes, Director Zhou frowned and asked in the headset, "Have you found any traces?"

"No, 212."

"No, 231."

"No, 712."

...

...

Twenty-four people in a row answered no.

The numbers at the back were the action codes of each member, to prevent anyone from infiltrating and replacing their identities.

Moreover, this arrest operation had a double insurance. Each of them carried a sensing bomb, corresponding to each person's vital signs.

Once someone's heart stopped and blood oxygen level dropped, it would explode immediately.

This was standard equipment for mountain warfare and carpet searches in current wars, as well as for death squads.

In this world, except for a few people, no one could Substitution or assassinate under such circumstances, and it was difficult to pass through silently at a five-meter interval.

Director Zhou's Face[-] turned cold.

If the target didn't pass through the woods, it meant that the target was still in the camp, and had never left!

"Cut open every tent," Director Zhou said coldly.

The armed personnel in the camp took out their daggers from their thighs one by one, cut open the tents, and checked if anyone was hiding inside.

The result was nothing.

Then, Director Zhou said, "Check all vehicles, including the chassis and cargo hold, and conduct a thorough search."

The result was still nothing.

Things became strange. Director Zhou, who had been confident and determined, showed hesitation. He couldn't even imagine where the Qing Chen Supervisor could be hiding.

This was indeed a more difficult figure than the legends!

At this time, Director Zhou sneered. He looked at one of Qing Yi's attendants in the crowd: "Where did Qing Chen go?"

The attendant said, "When the crowd was in chaos, he went into a tent, that one."

Saying this, the attendant pointed, but there was no one in the cut-open tent.

Qing Yi turned and looked at his attendant gravely. The insider was actually by his side. No wonder the other party came so quickly. As soon as they arrived at the camp, those who came to kill the master arrived.

This made Qing Yi feel a little guilty and uneasy. It turned out that the leak came from his side.

Director Zhou looked at the crowd in the camp, his Face[-] cloudy.

He suspected that Qing Chen was hiding in this crowd, but he wasn't sure which one.

"Kill them all, and then slowly look for him. Qing Chi, come out," Director Zhou said, taking a step back.

It seemed like they were ready to open fire and sweep everyone.

But when Director Zhou looked up at the insider named Qing Chi in the crowd, he was astonished to find a bloodline on the other party's neck, bleeding!

He hadn't noticed when Qing Chi was attacked.

Qing Yi was also stunned.

At that moment, there was a huge explosion in the woods. Listening carefully, you could hear that the explosions were staggered and continuous.

It was as if someone had killed twenty-four people in one second, causing them to lose their vital signs.

Director Zhou roared, "Open fire!"

Qing Yi subconsciously wanted to stand up for a last resistance. He was unwilling to sit here like a coward and be killed.

As a member of the Qing Family, as someone from Autumn Leaf Manor, he had to die standing.

However, just as he was struggling to stand up, he suddenly saw a woman smiling at him in the distance.

Qing Yi remembered her. She came with the crew, and seemed to be a third-tier actress.

And beside him, a stranger pressed his shoulder, smiling at him, "Don't move, someone will handle this."

That familiar voice... it was the master's.

Qing Yi didn't expect that the master had never left, but had been by his side all along.

For some reason, he seemed to feel the warmth from the master's hand pressing on his shoulder.

All of Director Zhou's previous playfulness vanished in an instant. Qing Yi felt that if he survived, he must tell Li Ke about this, to make him envious...

But, those people were about to shoot!

Qing Yi even saw the gunfire erupting from the gun barrels!

In an instant, the speed of the bullets slowed down, as if they were shot into thick hydrogel. The orange-yellow bullets only flew a meter or so in the air before stopping.

Qing Yi even saw a bullet slowly stop at his eyebrow, suspended in the air.

That was Yan Chunmi's ability, and the reason she appeared here was to protect Qing Chen.

Qing Chen had once asked Yan Chunmi what level of strength she was.

Yan Chunmi's answer was that her strength was very low.

However, she had been a spy, and was demoted to Kestrel to assist Qing Chen.

How could the strength of someone personally chosen by Shadow for Qing Chen really be low?

Now Qing Chen understood. Just like Li Shutong had Ye Ma, Shadow had also chosen an assistant who could ignore light firepower for him.

That's why Shadow had him cooperate more with Kestrel.

Qing Chen couldn't help but think, if Yan Chunmi was carefully selected by Shadow, then what about the remaining eleven Kestrels? Would they be the same?

After the killers pulled the trigger, the automatic rifles shot out bullets, neatly embedded in the invisible barrier outside the crowd.

Like decorations in the air.

From the dark woods, a young man in a black baseball cap and black mask walked out calmly.

Behind him were seven more people, dressed the same.

Qing Chen wondered, if the spies had twelve Kestrels, did Shadow also have twelve Kestrels?

What level were Shadow's Kestrels?

But the seven people were as fast as thunder, instantly arriving, and Director Zhou's people were crushed mercilessly without any resistance. They were as confident as they had been before, now they were just as embarrassed.

At this time, Shadow said with a smile, "Don't kill them, leave them alive. Let me see who is so reckless as to dare to attack my people."

Qing Chen immediately understood that it was Shadow who had acted, using the ability to slow down the flow of time to kill 24 people in one second...

To be honest, even Qing Chen didn't expect Shadow to come here in person.

Qing Chen got up and walked over, and said in a low voice, "When I came out, you only said that I should be the bait once, you didn't say that it would attract so many people."

"Without attracting so many people, how can it match your current status?" Shadow said with a smile, "And it wouldn't match the price you paid for impersonating me."

"So, is the impersonation thing over?" Qing Chen asked tentatively.

"It's over," Shadow said with a smile, "But it's a pity that you won't be bait anymore. You can catch big fish."

Qing Chen said, "Forget it. You could have acted long ago, but you waited until the last moment, deliberately creating some thrilling moments, right?"

Shadow looked at him, "Wasn't this to help you find the insider beside Qing Yi? Besides, without the critical moment, how can Qing Yi be deeply touched? You want him to be your Shadow, but you don't know how to make him wholeheartedly be this Shadow. Otherwise, why do you think I came here in person to capture these small characters?"

Qing Chen was stunned. Behind Shadow's playfulness, there were always reasons.

This time, Shadow was worried that he couldn't control Qing Yi, so he calculated to the last second.

Qing Chen sighed, "Actually, it's not necessary."

Shadow said coldly, "In the Face[-] of family interests, where is there any personal gain or loss? Put aside your Knights' so-called innocent heart. If you are too merciful, more people will die because of you."

Qing Chen shook his head, "I don't believe that scheming can bring sincerity."

Shadow said calmly, "That's okay. You can continue to be sincere. I'll handle some things."
