Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 857: Prophet and the Past

Kuangfeng was stunned.

Too much happened in the last hour tonight.

The giants were first betrayed by the trusted "He",

Then a human appeared and saved them.

This person was not only incredibly powerful but also understood their language.

Kuangfeng's mind couldn't process it... the information was too overwhelming!

It was related to the Giant's Prophet!

The Giant's language is the hardest to understand in the Inner World, bar none.

Other languages have patterns, but the Giant's language has none. It relies entirely on telepathy.

"Dudu", "kacha", "feng", "gege", "hei zui zui", "huo"—these sounds are illogical. Even a single word from a Giant can express thousands of meanings.

At the same time, the Giants realized this racial advantage. As long as humans didn't understand their language, it was difficult to uncover their secrets.

Even if the Giants conspired loudly in front of humans, they didn't have to worry about leaks.

Kuangfeng looked at Qing Chen and said seriously, "You should have said you were a friend of the Prophet earlier. We would have trusted you unconditionally."

"Prophet?" Qing Chen asked in confusion.

In Roosevelt Kingdom's network, he hadn't even heard of the existence of a "Prophet" among the Giants.

Kuangfeng nodded, "Prophet! The supreme being of our Giant race. Generations of Prophets have led us to survive under the shadow of Roosevelt Kingdom, otherwise, we would have disappeared long ago. The fruit you ate can only be possessed by the Prophet, so you must be a friend of the Prophet."

In the Giant Dynasty, the King is the actual ruler of the kingdom.

But who becomes King is chosen by the Prophet.

Therefore, although the Prophet doesn't usually participate in management, their status is extremely high. They are the spiritual leader of the Giant race.

Years ago, before the Forbidden Forest was fully formed, Roosevelt Kingdom completely suppressed the Giant race. The advanced technology and weapons of humans were enough to suffocate the Giants.

More than two hundred years ago, the "Prophet" racial talent was born. The first Giant Prophet led the Giant race to avoid disaster and repeatedly escaped danger, finally surviving until 81 years ago when the Forbidden Forest was formed.

At that time, the first Prophet's first prophecy was: "Great Giants need temporary patience. When the dense forest forms a green ocean, the world will have new rules. The Giants will rebuild their homes here and wait for the world's recovery!"

In fact, without this Prophet, the Giant race would have probably died out.

Later, that wise Prophet, in order to protect the secrets of the Giant race, asked all Giants to hand over the red fruits to him for safekeeping. They were not allowed to give them to humans or even tell humans about the secret of the red fruit.

The Prophet took the Giants throughout the Forbidden Forest and destroyed all the trees that could bear red fruits, leaving only one planted in the Giant's royal court, the Prophet's former residence.

Since then, no more red fruits have appeared. The remaining ones are firmly in the hands of the Prophet's lineage.

Only a few humans considered friends by the Prophet can receive them as gifts.

But Qing Chen felt that Kuangfeng must have misunderstood something.

After all, the fruit was given by Ding Dong, and Ding Dong certainly hadn't crossed the ocean to West Continent.

Qing Chen wanted to pretend he was a friend of the Prophet, but this would be exposed sooner or later. They could just ask the Prophet.

They didn't even need to ask the Prophet. Some Giants have telepathic abilities, like Ding Dong.

Lying in front of such a Giant is meaningless.

Qing Chen explained, "I come from across the Forbidden Sea, and the fruit was given to me by a Giant friend. He is not your Prophet. His name is Ding Dong."

Kuangfeng's expression changed again. In his mind, the great prophecy made by the first Prophet seemed clearer.

He murmured, "Wind!"

(One day, a Giant's friend will come from the end of the ocean. That friend will control thunder, and their pupils will have a golden light. He is the faith of the mountain peak, the creature of the waves, the Hawk in the sky. He can understand our language and will ignite a new spark for the Giant race, opening a new era. He will save us from fire and water and guide our way forward.)

At this moment, Kuangfeng only said one word, but the unique nature of the Giant's language directly transported Qing Chen to the stone room where the Prophet lived. The wind-weathered previous Prophet, with the last flame of life, made the last prophecy of his life.

Qing Chen fell silent.

Every word in this prophecy seemed to point to him.

He even felt that someone was collaborating with the Giants to trick him!

Qing Chen sighed, "Is this real...?"

As he spoke, he opened his palm in front of Kuangfeng, revealing golden electric arcs jumping inside, like midnight elves flapping their wings.

The next moment, he looked up at Kuangfeng, and the golden light in his pupils was breathtaking, like flowing magma.

Everything was like the Prophet's prophecy being fulfilled before his eyes.

Kuangfeng cried.

This wasn't an exaggeration. Kuangfeng really cried. He knelt down and looked straight at Qing Chen, "Friend, why did you only come now? We've suffered so much these years!"

Qing Chen: "Are emotions really this abundant?"

Actually, Qing Chen had interacted with Ding Dong, so he knew that although Giants look rough, their emotions are no different from humans, and they are even more simple.

But this Kuangfeng was tearing people apart half an hour ago, and now he's crying and wanting to be friends with him.

Kuangfeng said, "Wind!"

(Friend, come with me. The Giant race needs you.)

Qing Chen laughed and cried, "I can't leave yet. I need to stay here and wait for a better opportunity to destroy Roosevelt Kingdom. Only when Roosevelt Kingdom is destroyed can you live peacefully on this continent."

Kuangfeng quickly nodded, "Wind!"

(I'll listen to you, but I need to rush back to the royal court to report your arrival to the King and the Prophet. They will be very happy.)

"How can I contact you?" Qing Chen asked.

"Wind!"

(I'll leave someone to wait for your summons. A small monkey will move through the treetops, constantly watching you. You can leave marks on the trees. A bird-shaped mark means there is danger and we need to help you escape. A snake-shaped mark means...)

In an instant, Kuangfeng gave Qing Chen all the marks agreed upon between the Giant race and the Rebellion. Unexpectedly, these marks were quite comprehensive and complex.

"Wind!"

(By the way, before we leave, should we cooperate with you to kill "He"?)

Qing Chen quickly said, "No, no, I still have use for him. You should go quickly, go home with your people. Remember, you can only tell the King and the Prophet about me."

Kuangfeng turned and ran into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, catching up with his companions.

Qing Chen looked at his back and suddenly felt that the Giant Prophet was too magical. He could actually foresee his arrival, and every detail was described in great detail.

This is different from the words of those con artists! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He had been wondering how the Roosevelt royal family, possessing the BUG-like Fate Weaver inheritance, could suppress the Four Dukes with their ability to foresee the future, and how the Giant race managed to survive under such pressure.

It turned out to be magic against magic, foreseeing the future against foreseeing the future!

No wonder the Giant race could gradually rise!

He silently walked towards the camp. When Bolton saw him return, he curiously asked, "Why did you come back alone?"

Qing Chen said, "I'm just a C-Class, I can't keep up with the Gene Soldiers and Giants, so I can only come back alone. Unfortunately, I can't get such a great achievement."

Bolton comforted him, "Tonight, if it weren't for you and He leading everyone to resist the Giants, Third Division would be gone. This achievement alone is enough for you to become a citizen. Don't worry, I will remember everything you did. You are like the..."

Qing Chen listened to a string of cloying words and thought, "Why are you using the tactics against the Five Princesses on me?!"

He looked around. Soldiers were piling the bodies of fallen comrades, and others were repairing communication equipment, trying to contact the rear.

It was a mess.

He Jinqiu sat by the campfire, his hands open towards the flames, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qing Chen sat beside him, and He Jinqiu calmly asked, "Done? Gained their trust?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded.

Tonight's unexpected events caused He Jinqiu to completely lose his friendship with the Giants, and the Giants would no longer trust him.

However, the Giant Dynasty was very important, so Qing Chen made a temporary plan: Gong Qizhi would be the villain, and he would become the new liaison.

This was something they had already discussed.

In the plan, Roosevelt would be responsible for saving the Third Division, putting the Giants in a difficult situation.

Qing Chen would chase and kill them, and at the last moment, he would save the Giants.

They would gain the trust of both Bolton and the Giants.

Gong Qizhi looked at Qing Chen, "It's difficult for Giants to trust humans, especially after being deceived by humans. How did you convince them to trust you?"

Qing Chen smiled. He didn't mention the Prophet's prophecy but used another reason, "I killed all thirty-plus B-Class experts who followed me as a token of my sincerity. Isn't that enough?"

From now on, the liaison responsible for contacting the Giant race would no longer be Roosevelt but Qing Chen.

Moreover, the friendship between Qing Chen and the Giants was more reliable than Roosevelt had imagined.

"Boss He," Qing Chen asked, "When did your cancer end?"

Roosevelt thought for a moment, "Before coming to the Inner World."

"Wait, didn't you come here more than ten years ago?" Qing Chen asked, "The cancer has existed for more than ten years?"

Gong Qizhi's eyes showed a look of recollection, "I ended up in the same unit as Zheng Boss. He was my squad leader. Later, we both passed the selection and entered the reconnaissance team together."

The so-called reconnaissance team was the special forces. This selection was like the one Xu Sanduo participated in in "Soldier Assault," relying entirely on skills.

Roosevelt continued, "Later, because of my outstanding performance, I represented the country and joined the United Nations peacekeeping force to the Middle East. This peacekeeping force included people of all races, with Chinese compatriots accounting for only one-tenth."

Qing Chen thought, no wonder Nine Provinces' overseas activities were mainly concentrated in the Middle East. It turned out that Roosevelt had lived there before.

This is probably why Roosevelt was in charge of overseas affairs.

"During a peacekeeping mission, we received a tip that international arms dealers, under the cover of the CIA, were secretly selling nuclear material, plutonium-239. The peacekeeping force was deployed, with a total of 12 people participating in the operation, airdropping 79 kilometers west of Kandahar to intercept the arms dealers' convoy."

"The plan went smoothly. We intercepted the vehicles transporting nuclear materials and killed 17 well-trained criminals." Roosevelt smiled, "My other Chinese comrade and I opened the cargo box of the transport vehicle to check if the nuclear materials were intact. But as soon as my teammate and I went inside, the door of the cargo box was locked from the outside."

"Then, gunshots rang out... There was an insider in the peacekeeping force. They intercepted the vehicle but didn't intend to hand over the nuclear materials. They secretly contacted the Russian head, planning to sell them at a high price. At that time, I couldn't imagine that people's hearts were so sinister. The camaraderie I had in mind should be like that between me and my old squad leader, supporting each other through thick and thin. I never thought that someone would stab me in the back."

Qing Chen frowned, "What happened later?"

"Later, my comrade and I, trapped in the cargo box, discovered that the plutonium-239 wasn't properly sealed and was already leaking. The gunshots stopped, and those people didn't come to kill us. They drove away with us."

"The transport vehicle swayed for a day, and we spent a day with the leaking plutonium-239. We had nosebleeds, our internal organs ached, and breathing was difficult. After a day, the car stopped. I thought those people would open the box and kill us, but the door opened, and they dragged us out of the car completely incapacitated."

"That's when I realized that the insiders in the peacekeeping force not only wanted to sell plutonium-239 but also wanted to sell us two Chinese peacekeepers. They wanted us to shoot a video, claiming that we had betrayed our country, and turn us into puppets. Once we returned to China, we would completely obey their orders."

"But we didn't yield. They imprisoned us in a dungeon for a whole month. My teammate developed oral cancer, and I noticed discomfort in my lungs. We both had cancer after being contaminated by nuclear radiation."

"We stayed in that dark and hopeless place for a long time. Those people constantly tormented us, interrogated us, and we lost our faith in each other and became desperate about the world."

"Those people started to have fun with us, promising that as long as we killed each other, the survivor could leave the dungeon. One midnight, I saw my former comrade come to me and choke my neck. He apologized and said his mother needed him to support her. After hearing his words, I stopped struggling and lay there waiting to die. At this moment, the dungeon door opened again, a young man with long hair stood at the door, and asked if I was willing to go to another world with him for a chance to live. I said yes. He killed my teammate."

Roosevelt smiled, "After coming to the Inner World, I haven't been back for more than ten years. When I could return, I went to visit the mother of my former teammate in prison. I thought that with no one to rely on, she must have lived a difficult life. But after my investigation, I found out that what he said when he killed me was also a lie. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his aunt. He just wanted me not to resist."

Boss He said it lightly, but only those who have experienced it know how cruel that time was.

Qing Chen understood. Yan Liuyuan saved Roosevelt and brought him to the Inner World.

After Boss He came to the Inner World, he used the medical technology of the Inner World to temporarily suppress his condition.

Also, because of this incident, it completely changed Qizhi's personality.

After experiencing life and death betrayal, Boss He was unwilling to suspect anyone again, not even his old squad leader, Zheng Yuandong.

Even when talking to Zheng Yuandong, he needed Truth Coins to judge whether he was lying.

"How is your condition now?" Qing Chen asked.

Gong Qizhi smiled, "The Inner World's medicine isn't omnipotent. Now my cancer has spread throughout my body. I have to find other ways."

Qing Chen was silent for a moment, "Boss He, I will definitely help you get the medicine to cure your cancer."

Roosevelt slowly leaned against the tree behind him, covering his cheek with his fisherman's hat, "Thank you."
