Naming Technique of the Night - Chapter 86
In Hai City, Hu Xiaoniu often goes to the legal shooting ranges, so he has seen this before, and heard a bit about it from the shooting range instructor.
Not to mention how these criminals get their hands on guns, just smuggling silencers into the nation would be hard enough. Even smugglers rarely sell such things.
Moreover, most guns fitted with silencers were not silent at all, unlike those in the movies. At most, they would reduce the noise level from 140 dB to 120 dB. Not a very significant change.
Silencers were over-exaggerated by all those films throughout the years.
However, some specifically crafted guns with subsonic bullets can indeed minimize the sound of gunfire.
The Glock 34, possessed by the criminals right now, was one of them.
Hu Xiaoniu realized that their opponents were extremely professional, and likely used to be foreign professional mercenaries.
Liu Dezhu was desperate. Everything came about too fast. Boss told him that there were criminals, but he wasn’t told that they would be in police uniforms!
Hu Xiaoniu took a deep breath and said, “Do as they say.”
The three of them returned to the yard at gunpoint.
Meanwhile, five others with guns at the back door took control of the waiter, the manager, and two Kun Lun members of Yunshang Inn, and walked out of the hotel building.
These people acted faster than Qing Chen had expected. Before midnight, they already mapped out this entire place and were waiting until after they returned from transmigration to start.
They chose to take action after returning to avoid Kun Lun leaking information in the Inner World and buying more time.
Several girls screamed.
One of the criminals pulled the trigger and the bullet struck right into a Kun Lun member’s lower leg.
The Kun Lun member fell but clutched his teeth hard and didn’t make a sound.
The criminal then turned the gun toward Hu Xiaoniu and Liu Dezhu. He then said coldly, “Shut up. Or else, all your classmates are going to die right now, and many innocent people will as well. Look, this comrade from Kun Lun knows this very well. He knew that screaming would attract other people, but on this mountain, no one can save him. Getting more people here will just increase casualties.”
“Our fellow comrade knows very well that the people who can save you will arrive in 6 hours at the earliest. So everyone, please keep calm to avoid unnecessary troubles.”
The Kun Lun member who fell closed his eyes. The extreme pain caused a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he still didn’t make a sound.
At this time, a criminal wearing a black coat stood in front of the students and said with a smile, “Every nice to see you here on Laojun Mountain. I’m not interested in ordinary people. I just want to find the time travelers among you and leave with them. So, please cooperate, alright? If everyone cooperates, this won’t take long.”
In the crowd, Wang Yun suddenly said, “Don’t panic. Don’t let Hu Xiaoniu and the others die.”
Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen looked at each other. No one knows what they were thinking.
Liu Dezhu only had one thought in his mind: There are more than five criminals; the boss was mistaken.
The students were terrified, but the fear of the guns and the threat to their classmates’ life kept some sense in them. Some were 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.
