Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 880: Joker’s Role

Previously, the reason Qing Chen returned to the confined elevator after the nuclear explosion was for this moment—to counter-possess the Black Knights member.

In his opinion, an organization that uses soul-snatching techniques to extend its lifespan is no longer worthy of being called Knights.

It's somewhat sad to think about. Ren He's legacy in North America has become this way.

At this time, Qing Chen's identity has become the third-in-command of the Black Knights. Although he still looks like himself, in the eyes of all Black Knights, he is a staunch supporter of the third-in-command, Silver Duke!

In the interrogation room.

The second-in-command sat opposite Qing Chen and asked, "120 years ago, what was the name of the criminal you possessed?

Qing Chen replied, "Gao Yang."

"How much do you owe me?

"I don't owe you any money. When I first followed the boss, you cheated me twice, swindling 200,000 from me!" Qing Chen said indignantly, "I don't even want to mention it, do you still have any shame?

The second-in-command scratched his head, "Damn it, you remember so clearly. I thought you'd forgotten. Don't worry, I'll pay you back tomorrow."

Qing Chen said expressionlessly, "You said the same thing hundreds of years ago, always tomorrow."

"Forget it, forget the interrogation, it's meaningless," the second-in-command stood up and grumbled, "You got a great advantage. This kid is so damn handsome, and he has so much backing, how could he fall into your hands, you black donkey?"

At this point, the second-in-command had accepted the fact, but he was still a little unhappy, "By the way, how many women has this kid slept with?

This is a question they always ask after possessing someone, a kind of foul, disgusting quirk.

Qing Chen shook his head, "None."

The second-in-command gasped, "A ruthless man!"

At this time, Silver Duke walked in, "Second-in-command, if you feel unwilling, I'll let you personally interrogate him. Do you have any problems now?"

"No problem, it's just the third-in-command," the second-in-command said, but then a thoughtful look appeared on his face. Now that the third-in-command had indeed possessed Qing Chen, wouldn't he be able to obtain the power behind Qing Chen if he possessed the third-in-command?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Qing Chen, wondering what he was planning. Actually, the Black Knights didn't necessarily have to be these twelve people. The fourth-in-command had two capable disciples; one could be used for possession, and the other could completely fill the vacancy, adding some fresh blood to the Black Knights.

The boss is steady, the third-in-command is aggressive, and the second-in-command is ruthless; these are the famous labels of the Black Knights.

However, if Qing Chen knew what the second-in-command was thinking, he would be truly grateful. Now he had plundered the memories of the third-in-command, which contained a lot of secrets. If he could plunder the second-in-command… the key is that this method of killing an A-Class Knight is too simple. Just lie down on the equipment and wait for the other party to die.

To be honest, Qing Chen had never killed such an easy A-Class expert before.

Let all the Black Knights possess him!

Wait, is there a possibility that he could kill Silver Duke and become the new Silver Duke?!

"Let's talk about business," Silver Duke led everyone to the meeting room and looked at Qing Chen, "One thing at a time. First, let's talk about why the East Continent Knights can still be promoted after appearing in the Forbidden Sea? They don't have potions; what are they relying on?"

"Breathing Technique," Qing Chen said, "Knight Qin Sheng accidentally fell off a cliff while fighting and found an ancient book in a cave, which recorded a mysterious Breathing Technique and a mysterious dietary supplement method that needs to be eaten every day as a meal."

The Black Knights looked at each other. Qin Sheng's luck is too good, right? Can it be like this?

They sincerely envied Qin Sheng!

To be honest, even with Qing Chen's made-up story, Qin Sheng would probably crawl out of Forbidden Zone 002 if he heard it. "Dietary supplement?" the ninth-in-command curiously asked, "Is it the same as us drinking potions?"

Qing Chen nodded, "But this thing is just ordinary ingredients. After eating it, it prolongs life and prevents premature death. It's a pound of bitter melon, then crush two ounces of bitter tea and pair it with autumn chrysanthemum."

The Black Knights were all dumbfounded. What kind of dark cuisine is this!

Who eats bitter melon as a meal?!

Actually, Qing Chen had already toned it down. If it weren't for credibility, he even wanted these idiots to eat a pound of shit every day. But this absurd dark cuisine seemed reasonable to Silver Duke: "Indeed, those who endure hardship will become superior. To achieve longevity and strength, one must pay the price. Tell the kitchen, you will start eating this tomorrow, and no one is allowed to hide. Also, those disciples must also start eating these things and urge them to quickly complete the Trials of Life and Death. You're not young anymore; you must quickly prepare for possession."

Second-in-command: "Boss, aren't you going to eat?

Silver Duke: "I'm already a Demi-God; will this be useful?

Second-in-command: "

Silver Duke: "Third-in-command, continue."

"Okay, boss!" Qing Chen continued, "As long as you follow the recipe every day, you don't need to eat potions anymore. Then, maintain the Breathing Technique to challenge the Trials of Life and Death; you can be promoted once for each challenge completed."

Silver Duke's eyes shone brightly. When he heard Breathing Technique, he felt that the world had become beautiful: "Come, let's have the second-in-command try the magic of this Breathing Technique! The East is indeed magical, it can actually open up the body's potential through breathing!"

Qing Chen walked over, pinched the second-in-command's wrist pulse, and used Knight's Qi to drive it. The second-in-command's breathing rate immediately became consistent with his.

The second-in-command was surprised, "Hey! I can feel it. After changing the breathing rate, my Knight True Qi has started to increase! It really works!"

Silver Duke smiled, "Very good!"

But the problem is that what Qing Chen gave wasn't the Knight Breathing Technique at all, but the second part of the Zhunti Method.

This second part is ingenious. If given to ordinary people for cultivation, without the first part, the second part alone is useless.

For Knights, although the second part can increase Knight True Qi, it's useless for challenging the Trials of Life and Death.

And now, the second-in-command really felt that his Knight True Qi was extremely active—it really worked!

Qing Chen sighed with emotion. This really needs to thank Buddha Master's selfless dedication. Speaking of Buddha Master, how much has he contributed to the Knights? Building a shrine for him wouldn't be excessive.

Of course, Qing Chen also wanted to directly use Trial of Heart to kill one.

He dared to bet that none of the Black Knights could pass the Trial of Heart. Forcibly experiencing the Knight Breathing Technique would undoubtedly lead to death.

Unfortunately, Silver Duke didn't plan to personally experience it; otherwise, Qing Chen would kill a Demi-God first, then kill his way out of this meeting room.

However, he thought he would have a chance in the future.

Silver Duke looked at Qing Chen, "The first thing is done; now let's talk about the second thing. How many forces behind Qing Chen can be used by us?"

Qing Chen said, "It's the Qing Family, Daybreak, and Guardians' Union that we already know."

"By the way," Qing Chen continued, "This Joker is more terrifying than we imagined. Now, he is secretly supporting a Chen Family Caituanzi disciple named Chen Yu, who wants to seize power. I think the chances of success are very high. As long as we can kill Chen Family's Demi-God Chen Yu together, Chen Yu will definitely become the next head of the Chen Family. Boss, what do you think? Shall we go to East Continent and do a big job?

The third-in-command's persona is reckless, so Qing Chen didn't hide it anymore. If he could make the Black Knights go to East Continent, after they killed Chen Yu, he would call people to kill them, and then get two pairs of Demi-God eyeballs from Shendai Yunluo—the world would be wonderful!

Qing Chen said somewhat unsatisfied, "Also, the intelligence also mentioned Shendai Yunluo, Yunxiu, and Kongyu. These three have close personal ties with Qing Chen and obey his words. They are also representatives of Shendai's young generation. They failed in the power struggle before and left the Shendai Consortium. Shendai now supports the Roosevelt royal family, but if we can help the three of them regain power, Shendai will also belong to us."

Qing Chen continued, "You've also heard the news that Joker is the imperial teacher of the Li Clan; his disciple Li Ke's father is the current head of the Li Clan."

The Black Knights were all stunned.

First, the Qing Family, then the Chen Family, then Shendai, and finally the Li Clan.

It's as if holding onto Qing Chen alone is enough to directly control the four conglomerates of East Continent.

What's the point of fighting? Just fly over there and establish a country, right?

What's the matter with Koshima? Why does he seem so out of place? Why is he so unsociable?

Why didn't he join forces with Joker?

Just eliminate him.

The Black Knights members sat around the long table, each digesting the information they had just received.

The second-in-command exclaimed, "I have to say that Joker is a real talent. No wonder I only remember him in the entire East Continent. If he becomes a Demi-God and the master of East Continent, our outcome is really hard to say."

The benefits of possessing Joker are far more than they had imagined!

Even Silver Duke was no longer calm; a smile appeared on his face.

However, he was ultimately better than others: "Let's analyze the Chen Family first. It's not realistic for us in Silver City to cross the ocean alone to kill a Demi-God; this will be put on hold; the Shendai side is easy to talk about. As long as Shendai Yunluo is willing to cooperate, we can help the three of them return to Shendai without any problems. Then, we will have them pretend to please the royal family and wait for the right time to rebel against them; Koshima is completely on the side of the royal family. If there is a chance, it's better to kill him. When the empire sets out on its expedition, this will be the trap we have laid!"

The Black Knights had a happy day today. The second-in-command rarely invited other Knights to celebrate with drinks.

After the other Knights left, Qing Chen looked at Silver Duke, "Boss, do you want to try the Breathing Technique?"

Silver Duke shook his head, "No need. I've already achieved the position of Demi-God, and there's no point in using the Breathing Technique now. When I possess that disciple, you can personally teach me."

Qing Chen sensed that the Duke was very cautious, so he nodded and changed the subject, "Okay. The second-in-command is getting more arrogant. Can you still tolerate him, Boss? At your command, I'll go and kill him immediately. Joker's body is especially useful. I think killing the second-in-command is no problem."

Silver Duke patted his shoulder with a smile, "Not yet; there are many things that need him to charge into battle. Third-in-command, you've been sick for ten years. Now that you have this body, you should enjoy your life for a few days."

Qing Chen suddenly said, "By the way, Boss, what about Joker's Forbidden Artifacts? His face-changing Forbidden Artifact, the black sniper rifle in his body, and the Marionette on his wrist—should I give them all to you?

These are the known Forbidden Artifacts; they can't be hidden. Qing Chen intended to retreat to advance.

Silver Duke said with a smile, "Where would I have the chance to use a sniper rifle? The face-changing Forbidden Artifact is also Joker's trademark; you'll have to impersonate him to continue gaining the trust of various forces in East Continent. Keep them. How can an elder brother take things from his younger brother? You've worked hard all these years."

Qing Chen was moved, "Boss!"

"Change back to your previous appearance first," Silver Duke said, "Joker is now a prisoner and cannot go out casually. We can't let the outside world know that we've already possessed him."

Qing Chen pretended to adjust for a long time before finally turning into the appearance of the third-in-command.

He asked, "Boss, how are we going to gain the trust of East Continent next? If it's just small actions, they might suspect us, right?"

Silver Duke explained with a smile, "I've already made arrangements. I'll give you a chance to escape, and then the second-in-command, fourth-in-command, Old Six, ninth-in-command, eleventh-in-command, and twelfth-in-command will launch a large-scale manhunt for you. Then you will pretend to fight with them and eventually escape. You can fight a little more realistically; it's okay to injure each other; after all, they should possess their disciples."

Qing Chen's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?

He is now looking forward to the good show of killing out of Silver City, after all, there aren't many opportunities for enemies to actively send themselves to their deaths.

However, at this moment, a lone A-Class Airship flew and landed on the helipad in front of the Black Knights headquarters.

The number 5 was written on the airship, which is Old Five's airship.

The hatch opened, and Qing Chen's eyes twitched slightly before returning to normal.

Old Five was seen walking off the airship with a hearty laugh, while the Gene Soldiers behind him dragged He Jinqiu, who had completely mutated into an experimental subject, striding forward.

Boss He had vines wrapped around his wrists and was unconscious.

Qing Chen sighed secretly. Boss He's fate is really rough. They finally tricked the potion, but it ended up causing Boss He's arrest. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Moreover, Boss He's path to becoming a god is also cut off; he has finally become an experimental subject.

Old Five first looked at Qing Chen, "Third-in-command?"

Silver Duke nodded, "It's the third-in-command. Everything went smoothly; our Black Knights will usher in a new era!"

Old Five was excited.

Qing Chen looked at He Jinqiu and asked Old Five, "Is this He Jinqiu? I've seen him in Joker's memories; he betrayed Joker before. Why was he caught by you?"

Old Five said with a laugh, "He wanted to trade potions with us, so I gave him some, but he didn't know that I mixed Nanobots into the potion, which can locate his position. This old boy is quite powerful; he killed one-third of our people in the royal city. I brought him back to see if he has any use."

Silver Duke thought for a while and said, "Drag him to the dungeon for interrogation. This kind of person is difficult to subdue and has no value for possession. If we can't find out anything, just kill him."

Qing Chen said, "Boss, Joker also had a very good personal relationship with He Jinqiu. I think his Nine Provinces organization can also be used. I can come forward to recruit him."

Silver Duke shook his head, "No need. If he pretends to be recruited but discovers that our plan has been leaked, we will have wasted all our efforts. Now, the most important thing is for you to take over the forces of East Continent; don't cause trouble. Okay, go back. I'll deal with this person in a few days."

Qing Chen bid farewell to Silver Duke without showing any emotion and returned to his car: "Drive."

The third-in-command's motorcade slowly drove towards the core wealthy area of Silver City.

Qing Chen closed his eyes in the car and quickly thought. He couldn't watch Boss He be tortured to death.

There isn't much time left for Qing Chen to rescue He Jinqiu.
