Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 105: Going Out Again

Because the prisoners were forced to eat in separate groups, the breakfast ended just before noon.

During that time, Liu Dezhu did all he could beside the dining table and seemed to be more into it as time progressed.

After all the prisoners went back to their cells, everyone felt like they have guessed the truth… Another bigwig appeared in the prison, and the person's status seemed to be above Ye and Lin.

Some prisoners from various organizations were already planning to send this information out.

The prison square gradually returned to its calmness. Liu Dezhu turned his head to look and was shocked to see Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan staring at him expressionlessly.

Smack.

Liu Dezhu knelt down on the ground and said, "I'm sorry."

This made Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan stunned once again.

Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed quietly, "Actually quite suitable to be a cover for Qing Chen. Anyone with even a little bit of self-awareness and ambition would not be someone's puppet just like that."

Liu Dezhu tilted his head and took out the mini headphones. He explained hastily, "I'm just following instructions. Please forgive my rudeness."

As he said so, Qing Chen, who was still wearing his cat face mask, walked out of the kitchen, "A little nervous, but it was enough to fool the new time travelers. Go back to the confinement room. There will be acts for you to play in the future. Remember what I said before, greed will lead you to death."

"Yes, yes sir." Liu Dezhu nodded quickly.

After Liu Dezhu left, Li Shutong walked out of the reading area with a smile. "If you come a little later, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my laugh. I guess this is the fun of hiding behind the scenes."

Qing Chen took off his mask and looked at Li Shutong, "Teacher, that is the last thing I got to do, and it's done."

Li Shutong smiled, "Not yet. You got one more."

After speaking, two robot prison guards came to Qing Chen and said, "Prisoner 010101, you have a visitor."

Qing Chen turned his head, stunned. He didn't expect that she would return so fast after he rejected her last time.

Li Shutong said to him, "Just go ahead, we'll be gone for a while this time. If she comes back later, I will let the prison guard reject her visit directly. I don't know when you will see her again."

In the visiting room, Kamidai Sorane changed into a gray pleated skirt that barely covered her knees and also wore a pair of leggings because of the cold weather.

On her feet were a pair of black leather shoes.

This set of dresses made her look more like a 19-year-old.

Although she was two years older than Qing Chen, she seemed far from mature, full of a youthful vibe.

As she saw Qing Chen coming in accompanied by the robotic guards, she quickly opened two thermo boxes.

One of them contained exquisite sushi, and the other had yakiniku rice.

When Qing Chen sat down, Kamidai Sorane smiled and said, "How come you weren't there last time?"

Qing Chen answered quietly, "Not sure why, but everyone was forced to stay in their cells all of the sudden. Sorry about that."

Kamidai Sorane quickly waved and smiled, "Why, you don't have to be sorry for that. It's not your fault. Try the sushi, I've made every one of them myself!"

"Why did you bring two boxes?" wondered Qing Chen, "Seems to be a bit much."

"That's because I saw that you ate everything last time. I'm afraid that one would not be enough." Kamidai Sorane said, "Don't be shy. Finishing everything will be a kind of affirmation to my cooking!"

"Emm." Qing Chen didn't say anything else and started eating.

Kamidai Sorane sat on the other side of the table and propped her chin with a hand. She looked at Qing Chen and said, "彼は私にどんな印象を持っているかわからないが、食事の様子はとても上品ですね。"

(I wonder how he thinks of me. He looks quite gentle when he eats.)

This time, Qing Chen just pretended that he didn't hear that and didn't bother asking at all.

This was only the first day after transmigration, and there would be several more days before he would figure out what that meant.

However, that girl seemed to be simply enjoying this little game.

He pondered if the girl one day knew that he was also a time traveler and could translate every word she said, what kind of expression would she have on her face…

As a matter of fact, quietly watching others be pretentious could also backfire. For example, after he rescued Nan Gengchen, this guy didn't dare to say a word to himself after returning to Luo City safely.

This could be understood by many as social death.

In simple terms, it just meant that one was too ashamed of oneself to the point that the person could not face others.

At this time, Kamidai Sorane said: "I visited some Qing elders yesterday, but they don't seem to like you. I remembered their names. One is called Qing Li and the other is called Qing Hui. They've been talking ill of you the whole time! They also said that the Kamidai family should choose another person to marry, but I refused!"

Qing Chen raised his head and glanced at Kamidai Sorane, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I think you're better than them," Kamidai Kongyin said with a smile, "If anyone else speaks ill of you, I'll also remember their names and tell you!"

Qing Chen wondered, he was obviously a trivial figure in the family, so why was he targeted by the others? Was it simply because he stole the candidate position from the third branch?

Very likely.

But he still felt that there was a more significant reason. Maybe that reason would be why his records were wiped away.

Qing Chen looked at Kamidai Sorane and said seriously, "Thank you, do you want me to do anything in return?"

"Nope," said Kamidai Sorane while waving her hands, "After you completed your mission and got out of prison, you can invite me to dinner sometime, but by then I might be at the Kamidai Family already, so you're welcome to come to visit as well."

There were still three more years left before they had to marry, and Kamidai Sorane would return to the north and live there.

Visiting time was soon over.

Before the girl left, she turned and smiled, "慶塵君、私は家族に帰って、本当に後でまたあなたに会うことができることを望んでいます。"

(Qing Chen-Kun, I'm about to return to my family. Really hope that we can meet again in the future.)

Qing Chen found that whenever the girl smiled, there was a small dimple on her right cheek, as lively as a fresh lily flower.

…

Countdown 144:00:00

Midnight, in Prison 18.

"How're your feet?" asked Li Shutong.

Qing Chen replied, "Although the medicine Mom Ye applied to me was painful at first, the recovery was really fast. The wound that used to take a week to scab has already scabbed today, but it still hurts a little."

"Can you walk?" asked Li Shutong.

Under normal circumstances, Qing Chen would have to recuperate for at least a few more days. After all, the wounds on his shoulder and feet had not healed yet.

But Li Shutong didn't seem to care about this. He only asked if he could walk.

Qing Chen smiled, "Yes."

Li Shutong nodded and said, "Let's go then."

With that, he walked into the kitchen.

Ye Wan came to the massive freezer and pushed open the heavy steel door.

The cold air stormed out like a cloud sinking down to their feet and flowed out slowly.

Then, Ye Wan walked to a frozen pool and smashed the ice layer more than one meter thick with one punch, revealing a steel plate below.

He reached out and lifted the huge, heavy steel plate, uncovering a descending staircase.

"This passage leads to the outside," said Ye Wan, looking at Qing Chen, "Few people know of its existence, and it is the first time anyone has walked out from here. None of the corporations knows about this nor is it under surveillance."

Saying that, Ye Wan lifted up a huge mountaineering bag from the corner and put it on Qing Chen's back: "This is what you and the boss will use for the next period of time."

The mountaineering bag was almost as tall as a person and it was stuffed full.

Qing Chen suddenly understood that this trip might take a very long time, even longer than he expected.

Maybe when he comes back, everything would be different.

Qingchen looked at Li Shutong, "Teacher, don't you have a backpack?"

Li Shutong walked down the deep staircase first and said, "There is no reason to let the teacher carry a backpack when there is a student. All my belongings are in your bag."

Qing Chen asked behind him, "Teacher, where are we going?"

Li Shutong's voice came from the darkness below, "A place that has become a Forbidden Land."

…
