Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 938: Our Turn

“What are you collecting these species from Forbidden Zone 001 for?” Dahuyuo asked, expressing his confusion.

Qing Chen replied, “We’re looking for a way to produce Grade A Gene Medicine.”

“Just for Grade A Gene Medicine, you’re making such a fuss?” Dahuyuo didn’t understand. “You should be one of the few people in power in the Federation now. Let me give you some advice: power, money, fame, and desire aren’t that important in a person’s life. Don’t resort to any means to achieve them.”

Dahuyuo was genuinely concerned about Qing Chen. He didn’t know what had happened, but he felt that Qing Chen, like the others who came to Forbidden Zone 001, was taking things from here to exchange for worldly desires.

Qing Chen shook his head with a smile, “I don’t care about those things.”

“Huh?” Dahuyuo was puzzled.

“What you say and what you do are contradictory.”

Seeing that the species had been collected, Qing Chen got up to leave. “Senior fellows, I do respect all of you, but I’m forced to be so presumptuous. I don’t have time to slowly cultivate feelings with you, to let you slowly understand me. Back then, you did what you should have done for the survival of humanity. Now it’s our turn, and we’re doing what we should do.”

Qing Chen said, “Let’s part ways today, and we’ll meet again someday.”

With that, he led the giants into the Key Gate and returned to City 10. Dahuyuo was stunned. “Our turn…? ”

He seemed to roughly understand the Federation’s current situation.

This young man risked his life in the amusement park, clearing levels and taking rewards and species, all for a war called protection.

In those days, they had also risked their lives on the battlefield for such a cause.

Behind them, Dahuyuo, Zhang Xiaoman, and others were still sitting by the bonfire. Someone suddenly said, “Actually, I quite like him. I don’t know why, but meeting him feels like meeting the young marshal back then. I inexplicably have this feeling.”

“Could he be Ren Xiaosu’s reincarnation…?”

“Haha, Ren Xiaosu definitely won’t die…”

“But we have more than 200,000 people. We can’t just hand over the power of life and death to others. You can’t judge a book by its cover; we need to figure it out.”

Dahuyuo pondered for a moment. He turned around and shouted, “Go, find the person in charge of the amusement park for me. I want to ask what happened inside. Zhang Xiaoman, go get some herbalists. Tell them, as long as they tell us what we want to know, we have plenty of herbs.”

The Spiritual Beings quickly moved. Some went to the border of Forbidden Zone 001 to look for herbalists.

Some came to the Spiritual Beings Shrine and struck the big bell inside. A large number of Spiritual Beings scattered in Forbidden Zone 001 rushed back when they heard the bell.

In the shrine, Dahuyuo listened to the Spiritual Being in charge of the amusement park say, “This kid is extremely strange. We just secretly watched him, and he actually carried a kayak and played from beginning to end…”

“And a paddle, wow, he beat people up with a paddle in the bumper car area. It was so fierce.”

“He really has the same temperament as Ren Xiaosu…”

Everyone talked about what Qing Chen had done, including the Demi-God battle.

Even so, their understanding of Qing Chen was still very limited.

It was almost dawn when Zhang Xiaoman brought in several blindfolded herbalists.

Dahuyuo asked first, “I’ll only ask a few questions. After the matter is done, you can take away any herbs you want.”

The herbalists hurriedly nodded, “Ask away, ask away.” Dahuyuo asked, “Who is the Qing Family’s Demi-God?”

“Qing Zhun,” the herbalist replied. Not many people in the Federation knew that Qing Chen had already become a Demi-God.

Dahuyuo said, “So it’s Qing Zhun… What’s his status in the Qing Family now?”

“Huh?” The herbalist was dumbfounded, “He doesn’t have a status. Previously, outside Forbidden Zone 002, he transformed into a god for fifteen minutes, killed two Demi-Gods, and then died.”

At that time, Chen Yu actually didn’t die, but the Federation people still insisted that Qing Zhun was the one who killed two Demi-Gods in one battle.

“Dead?” Dahuyuo raised his voice, “I saw him just a few hours ago!”

“Brother, don’t scare us,” the herbalist was startled, “Can you still see dead people?

“No, no,” Dahuyuo shook his head, “It definitely can’t be the same person! I ask you, does anyone else in the Qing Family fight with a group of giants every day?”

“You mean… Qing Chen! If you had said fighting with a group of giants earlier, we would have known. Koshima has been almost completely destroyed by them…”

“He’s Qing Zhun’s younger brother! Has he also become a Demi-God?!”

Dahuyuo and the others looked at each other. They knew about Koshima and were quite annoyed that they kept bringing some civilians to explore Forbidden Zone 001.

“Tell me, what has this Qing Chen done before?” Dahuyuo asked.

One herbalist smiled, “You’ve asked the right person. I’m his fan. I haven’t missed any news about him over the years!”

A group of glittering Spiritual Beings sat in the shrine, just like the giants listening to Black Widow’s stories. They listened carefully to the herbalist’s story.

However, the herbalist’s story was more detailed, from Prison 18 to the current battle with the Roosevelt Kingdom… The Guardians’ Union paid great attention to publicity, so the sensational events that Qing Chen did in the West Continent were widely publicized to establish their orthodox status in the resistance.

Dahuyuo and the others listened from morning to night until the herbalist finally couldn’t speak anymore.

Only at this moment did they understand why Qing Chen said, “Our turn now.”

Zhang Xiaoman said excitedly, “Wow, if I had known it was a war with the West Continent, I would have agreed to let him take in the Spiritual Beings Shrine. It’s all your fault, Dahuyuo, you old fool. You had to wait for a better price. Now, it’s too late. We missed the chance to fight with the West Continent!”

Dahuyuo rolled his eyes, “You weren’t saying that yesterday!”

At this time, someone said, “His cancer should be incurable now. He came here with injuries, just to find Grade A Gene Medicine for City 10.”

The other Spiritual Beings were also silent.

In fact, those who had participated in the last war felt as if they were witnessing the rise of a new god after hearing Qing Chen’s legendary experiences.

Even though they had experienced many storms, they sincerely believed that what Qing Chen had done and was doing was something they couldn’t do.

Comparing them to Qing Chen was meaningless. They should compare Ren Xiaosu and Qing Chen.

“Ren Xiaosu is braver, but he is more cunning than Ren Xiaosu,” Dahuyuo said, “There is no better or worse. Although both of them are despicable, their personalities are completely different.”

“Indeed.”

Dahuyuo turned to the herbalists, “Aren’t you members of the Guardians’ Union arranged on the edge of the Forbidden Zone?”

According to Qing Chen’s style, he might very well arrange a few speakers to wait and tell them stories.

Although Qing Chen himself never admitted it, the Northwestern Army Spiritual Beings had a preliminary impression of Qing Chen: resourceful.

The herbalists explained with a smile, “We are all prospective family members. Now, if you want to sell something in the black market, you absolutely cannot do it without the identity of a prospective family member. But we weren’t arranged by them. We’ve been dealing with each other for more than ten years, and it’s not the first time we’ve met.”

“Yeah, that’s right,” Dahuyuo nodded, “Xiaoman, send them out. Prepare a basket of herbs for each of them. You’ve all worked hard.”

“Not at all, not at all!”

“So what do we do now?” Zhang Xiaoman asked.

“What else can we do?” Dahuyuo thought for a long time, “He should come back again. Before he comes back, let’s do what we should do.”

They approved of Qing Chen’s actions, but the fact remained that Qing Chen robbed them…

The Spiritual Beings Shrine was quiet for a moment, then the noisy sounds started again, “Place your bets, high or low!”

“How’s the battle in Koshima going?” Qing Chen asked in the City 10 Garrison Troops’ conference room.

Little Seven put on a military uniform and seriously reported, “They have lost three cities now. Many wealthy and powerful people have fled to Shendai and Li Clan to apply for Political Asylum. However, Shendai and Li Clan have both refused. Shendai Yunluo is even more ruthless. He specifically sent a troop to the wilderness to persuade those fleeing Koshima bigwigs to return.”

“Persuade them to return?” Qing Chen was puzzled.

“That is… catching them on the road and helping them return to Koshima,” Little Seven tried to hold back his laughter, “Some people don’t want to come back, so we help them come back.”

Hardcore persuasion.

If they don’t want to be decent, then we’ll help them be decent.

These people can’t die yet. They need to help the Guardians’ Union reorganize the power structure of the three northern cities of Koshima and hand over their wealth.

The Guardians’ Union has already begun to publicly collect evidence of these people. In the future, they will all be listed as war criminals: Koshima and Shendai had indeed helped the Roosevelt Kingdom invade the Federation and open their gates.

“What about Koshima’s troops?” Qing Chen asked.

“Koshima’s troops have also been crippled by Qing Ye and the others,” Luo Wanya said, “The Old Master on Ginkgo Mountain was well-prepared. While we were taking action in the city, Qing Ji and Qing Ye went directly to Koshima’s military base.”

“Hmm,” Qing Chen nodded, “What about Li Clan’s movements?”

“They are actively defending, but the direction of their defense… is us,” Luo Wanya sighed, “The Guardians’ Union’s actions are too big now, so they feel threatened.”

“That’s understandable,” Qing Chen said. He looked at Li Kerou, who was taking meeting minutes behind him, “Let Qing Kun go to Li Clan. We must unite.”

Li Kerou nodded, “Understood.”

Then, Qing Chen finally got to the point, “How long have Dayu and zard been out of contact?”

“Since 4 am this morning, they sent a message saying they were going to run away, and then they couldn’t be contacted,” Luo Wanya said with a serious expression, “Something must have happened to them. The Guardians’ Union members in City 7 have been watching the Chen Family’s patriarch’s manor. They haven’t come out.”

Qing Chen was silent. The situation had gone beyond his plan. Dayu and zard were in danger, which was almost entirely his responsibility. Although it was Dayu’s own decision to seize power, he was the one who asked Dayu and zard to go back.

Luo Wanya said at this time, “Now, the Chen Family keeps claiming that Chen Yu has been killed by you. Chen Yu’s faction has begun to show signs of disintegration…”

When he said this, he kept glancing at Qing Chen.

The conference room suddenly became quiet, because the Chen Family Demi-God was sitting upright next to Qing Chen, looking as serious as a primary school student.

When everyone saw Qing Chen with Chen Yu, they all gasped.

They thought that as long as Qing Chen advanced, he could win without any risk, but they never expected that Qing Chen could turn Chen Yu into a Marionette puppet…

So ruthless.

Chen Yu looked straight ahead, but he had already cursed Qing Chen to death in his heart. He was now like a pet being examined, and the Chen Chuanzhis kept scolding him. This was worse than death.

With Chen Yu here, the Chen Family situation still had room for recovery.

Since the Guardians’ Union couldn’t control the Chen Family through the Chen Family patriarch, they would use Chen Yu…

Qing Chen said, “From now on, keep the news that I’m still alive secret. After another day, start spreading the news that I have been killed by Chen Yu. Many people in the Chen Family know that I have Marionettes. Only if I’m dead will they believe that Chen Yu is still Chen Yu… It’s okay to hold a funeral for me.”

Luo Wanya nodded, “Understood.”

But what if Dayu and zard were also turned into puppets? That would be too disgusting!

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly looked at Little Seven, “Where is Qin Shuli now? Take me to see him… I want to try something.”

All the participants entered City 10’s secret prison. Qing Chen stood outside the cell, looking coldly at the other person.

“Qin Shuli” looked at Chen Yu beside Qing Chen in astonishment, “In such a short time, the world outside has changed.”

Qing Chen looked at the giant beside him, “Does this puppet know that I went to Forbidden Zone 001?”

The giant shook his head.

Qing Chen calmly analyzed, “I guess that if the distance is too far, the communication between puppets also relies on modern communication tools and cannot be telepathic. The puppets in City 10 still don’t know that I went to Forbidden Zone 001. Your main body… should be in City 7.”

Qin Shuli smiled, “You can guess whatever you want.”

But after a moment’s thought, he burst into laughter, “I understand. You lured Chen Yu away and sent Chen Yu and zard to the Chen Family… They must have lost contact by now?!”

“Maybe you won’t be laughing in a moment,” Qing Chen said calmly, “Open the door.”

The cell door opened. The next moment, Qin Shuli saw Chen Yu walking towards him with a syringe, pressing him down, and starting to extract blood, one tube after another.

Qing Chen quietly watched tube after tube of black blood being drawn out. Qin Shuli’s expression changed from astonishment to shock.

He looked at Qing Chen incredulously, “What is this? Why haven’t I heard of this Forbidden Artifact!”

Qing Chen said calmly, “There are too many things you haven’t heard of.”

After 8 tubes of blood were drawn, Qin Shuli’s expression changed from madness to bewilderment, “How did I get here?”

Qing Chen looked at the giant, “How is it?” The giant nodded, “Success.”

Ultimately, those who were made into puppets were merely those whose spirits were controlled.

Could a Puppeteer be better than Li Shentan? Definitely not.
