Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 427 - 2 Slimes

Huan Yu also received an invitation.

But he didn't accept it under his own name, instead, he substituted for another Time Traveler.

That Time Traveler never revealed their true identity; they were among his subordinates with the best identity protection.

The outside world didn't know they were his subordinate.

That's why he stayed at the Hilton Hotel instead of the JW Marriott Hotel, where all the big Time Traveler figures stayed together.

Huan Yu believed that many others in this conference were using this method.

He wasn't interested in organizations like Matrix and Red Leaf that openly displayed their intentions. The Underworld Consortium was still actively searching for Time Travelers, a strategic resource; revealing one's identity would be incredibly foolish.

Moreover, he suspected that Red Leaf was likely a subordinate branch of Nine Provinces.

Red Leaf's leader was a girl named Jiu Ran. Kunlun and Nine Provinces had both competed for her, hoping she would join Nine Provinces or Kunlun.

The girl disappeared for a few days, and when she reappeared, she had founded Red Leaf.

This didn't seem like Kunlun's usual style; it was more like Nine Provinces creating it to increase their domestic influence.

After all, nominally, Nine Provinces only handled foreign affairs, so they had to use a puppet organization to influence domestic matters.

In his Bluetooth earpiece, Zard chattered, "Boss, what's your disguise this time? I need to recognize you. I bought a little dinosaur costume. The media keeps saying that those who don't act weird are big shots, they have shame, so let's do the opposite, let's be weird. That way, other Time Travelers won't be wary of us."

"Keep it down, your voice is giving me a headache," Huan Yu said calmly, "Keep an eye on the lobby of the Marriott Hotel. Tell me if you see anyone from Daybreak."

"Do we really have to stay in the lobby?"

"Of course."

"What about you, Boss?"

"Don't you worry about that."

Zard asked, "By the way, Boss, what's Kunlun's goal for this conference? Did your inside people say anything?"

Huan Yu calmly replied, "There are a few things. First, to establish a Time Traveler's Association, electing a chairman, vice chairman, and permanent council members to govern the Time Travelers, giving everyone a sense of belonging. Second, and this is Kunlun's main objective, they want to establish a Time Traveler Tribunal."

"Tribunal?" Zard asked curiously.

"Yes," Huan Yu said, "Based on the information we have, the struggle among domestic Time Travelers has been increasing lately, so there's a need for an arbitration court. Also, they want to enact new rules, prohibiting Time Travelers from revealing information about other Time Travelers in the Inner World. If someone maliciously reveals someone else's information, the victim can return to the Outer World to apply for Kunlun's sanctions. The tribunal will sentence those who leak information, and Time Travelers are forbidden from using extrajudicial measures."

Overall, whether it's establishing an association or a tribunal, the ultimate goal is to protect Time Travelers and establish normal order domestically.

"That's good news," Zard exclaimed, "Does this mean if I offend Daybreak, they can't just kill me anymore?"

Huan Yu retorted, "Can you act a little more mature?!"

Zard said, "The law protects you, me, and him. Let's all abide by the law."

Huan Yu had a headache. "In my opinion, this is meant to restrict Nine Provinces, because as far as I know, Nine Provinces has used extrajudicial methods several times domestically, without following legal procedures. But it doesn't concern us."

"Right, Boss, you haven't told me your disguise yet. How will I recognize you the day after tomorrow at the conference center?"

Huan Yu paused, "My itinerary is confidential this time."

Zard suspiciously said over the phone, "Boss, your itinerary is confidential even from me? Are you afraid I'll sell you to Daybreak?! Or did you wear something unseemly?!"

Huan Yu expressionlessly hung up the phone and put on his Pikachu costume before heading out.

The hotel elevator doors opened, and he saw two other Pikachus inside, momentarily speechless.

Three Pikachus stood in the elevator, so bulky they could barely stand, squeezing each other, their costumes deformed.

What a peculiar conference," Huan Yu thought.

It's supposed to be a serious conference, but the style suddenly changed.

I wonder what the usually serious Boss Zheng will think.

At that moment, the Pikachu to Huan Yu's left mumbled, "Where did you buy this costume? It looks better than ours."

Huan Yu rolled his eyes inside the Pikachu costume. I'm not going to discuss whose Pikachu costume is better with you.

"Don't touch me," Liu Dezhu said from inside his slime costume.

Nangeng Chen said from inside his slime, "You're going the wrong way."

Liu Dezhu said irritably, "I told you to buy some decent costumes. Why did you buy slime costumes?"

Nangeng Chen said, "Because slime costumes are on sale, up to 40% off."

"We're a well-known organization, we shouldn't be saving money like this," Liu Dezhu complained.

Nangeng Chen curiously looked around inside the slime costume, "People in Zheng City are so fond of smiling. This is my first time in Zheng City; I didn't expect the people here to be so amiable, always smiling."

Liu Dezhu thought for two seconds and said, "Have you considered that maybe it's because we're funny?"

Nangeng Chen: "Seems like it."

The two entered the JW Marriott Hotel and showed their QR codes to the reception.

The staff politely asked, "Excuse me, are you Liu Dezhu and Nangeng Chen from Daybreak?"

Nangeng Chen was about to say yes, but Liu Dezhu kicked him, then said seriously to the staff, "No, please process our check-in quickly."

He said to Nangeng Chen, "Get the masks from your suitcase and put them on after we're back in the hotel. I've had enough of your slime costume."

To Liu Dezhu, Daybreak's reputation was sacred and couldn't be ruined by two slimes.

But at that moment, Liu Dezhu turned his head and saw a small green dinosaur staring intently at him.

The dinosaur's head was hollow, and the person's Face[-] was actually at the neck of the dinosaur.

At first glance, the dinosaur's neck had a pair of exceptionally bright eyes, looking rather eerie.

The next second, Liu Dezhu saw the little dinosaur running towards him, its dinosaur head bobbing comically.

Zard came up to them and whispered, "Are you two from Daybreak?!"

Liu Dezhu forced a smile, "Who are you?"

Zard: "Me! Zard, a good friend of Daybreak! Which two are you from Daybreak?"

Liu Dezhu: "I'm Hu Xiaoniu."

Nangeng Chen: "I'm Zhang Tianzhen."

Zard: "So it's you two. I want to ask, is Qing Chen still alive? Did your Boss come this time? By the way, doesn't he also stay at the Marriott? Why haven't I seen him? Or did he, like our Boss, substitute for someone else?"

In a flash, Zard spilled Huan Yu's secret.

Huan Yu substituted someone else's name to prevent people from knowing he was here.

However, there were thousands of attendees, so even if Liu Dezhu and the others knew Huan Yu was here, they wouldn't find him quickly.

In fact, Liu Dezhu didn't worry much about this. The messages he sent in the He Xiaoxiao group were at the Boss's request.

The task of finding Huan Yu was left to the Boss.

In the Boss's words, Liu Dezhu and Nangeng Chen couldn't beat Huan Yu, so there was no point in trying.

Liu Dezhu looked at the talkative man; he didn't know which question to answer. "I can't tell you."

He suspected that Zard wasn't really seeking answers, just wanting someone to talk to.

Outside Zheng City West Station, Qing Chen stood silently in the cold wind.

The young man beside him whispered, "Why are you at the station?"

Qing Chen didn't yet know the relationship between Qing Yuan and this young man, nor how they interacted, so he could only judge Qing Yuan's personality based on the young man's attitude.

Seeing the young man's humble tone, Qing Yuan was probably not easy to get along with.

So he thought for a moment, and glanced at the young man, "Is that something you should ask?"

The young man quickly lowered his head, "Sorry, Second Boss."

Second Boss? Qing Chen was puzzled.

Qing Chen asked the young man, "What are you doing here?"

The young man respectfully replied, "Second Boss, Liu Ning had something urgent, so I'm here to pick up our people from all over. He said he asked for leave from Third Boss, probably Third Boss didn't tell you."

Qing Chen felt a little puzzled; how many bosses were there in Qing Yuan's organization?!

It's like a group of bandits in the mountains, with a Big Boss, Second Boss, Third Boss, what a mess.

But one thing was certain; Qing Yuan was not the true leader of this organization; there was a bigger Boss above him.

And the reason why Qing Yuan could hide in City 10, making Kestrel unable to find him, seemed to be because this organization was helping him.

Also, this organization has a wide reach, its members are not limited to Zheng City and Taicheng, it seems to include other cities as well.

Qing Chen said coldly, "Can such scheduled work be changed so easily? What urgent matter could delay important work?"

The young man carefully explained, "Liu Ning's girlfriend asked him to meet her parents."

Qing Chen sneered, "Tell him..."

Qing Chen originally wanted to tell Liu Ning to break up with his girlfriend, after all, Liu Ning wasn't his subordinate and had nothing to do with him.

But thinking about Liu Ning's girlfriend being innocent, he decided to let it be.

At that moment, Sun Chuci and others suddenly came out. When they saw Qing Chen, they wanted to greet him, but when they saw the person beside Qing Chen, they immediately shut their mouths.

They pretended not to know him and tried to avoid him.

However, the young man called out to them, "Sun Chuci."

After being called, Sun Chuci politely said, "Senior Li Yi, long time no see."

Qing Chen looked at Sun Chuci, then at the young man beside him, "You two know each other?"

He remembered Tuanzi mentioning this name in the car, Li Yi, Dragon Lake Commune!

So, Qing Yuan is from Dragon Lake Commune?

No, it seems more complicated than that.

Dragon Lake Commune is not a secretive organization; some information can be found online.

The Dragon Lake Commune was originally called Zhenbei Commune, founded by a graduate from the university town in Dragon Lake Town, south of Zheng City.

It was called Zhenbei Commune because its founder was Wang Zhenbei.

Wang Zhenbei's classmates revealed on online forums that he was a student union president in school, with a strong bureaucratic air, which led to the strong bureaucratic atmosphere within Zhenbei Commune.

Later, Zhenbei Commune absorbed more Time Traveler college students, and the name was changed to Dragon Lake Commune.

In this Dragon Lake Commune, there's only one boss, Wang Zhenbei.

Qing Chen guessed that the organization Li Yi and Qing Yuan were in now might have been merged.

Dragon Lake Commune was merged into another organization.

It's like bandits merging territories; there used to be only one Big Boss, but another group came with guns and manpower, becoming the Second Boss.

Qing Chen thought that the Second Boss and Third Boss in this organization were created to balance the power after the merger, forming a unique characteristic.

It's really similar to bandits merging territories.

At this time, the young man named Li Yi explained to Qing Chen, "This is Sun Chuci. I mentioned him in our meeting; he's an excellent talent, but he's always unwilling to join. Recently, the Third Boss has run out of patience, so he wants to make an example of them to warn other Time Travelers in Zheng City."

After he finished speaking, Tuanzi and Sun Chuci, who were enthusiastic towards Qing Chen in the car, now had gloomy faces, seemingly grouping him with Li Yi.

Qing Chen didn't care; he smiled at Li Yi, "Making an example is correct. Disobedient Time Travelers should be taught a lesson."

After all, if your Dragon Lake Commune doesn't push Sun Chuci and the others to the brink, how can you solidify Sun Chuci's determination to cling to Qing Chen, right?

Sun Chuci said coldly, "Dragon Lake Commune's actions in Zheng City are despised by all independent Time Travelers. I know you've found a new backer, but you'll eventually understand what popular support means. Remember, there are always greater powers than yourselves, Daybreak is so powerful, yet they haven't bullied the weak."

Li Yi sneered, "How do you know what Daybreak has done behind the scenes? And with our current backing, what's Daybreak?"

He thought, the Second Boss standing beside me is the legendary Shadow Candidate, a true big shot.

With such a person supporting us, Daybreak is nothing.

Qing Chen silently glanced at Li Yi without speaking.

His eyes held a compassionate pity for the intellectually challenged.
