He Jinqiu ignored him and drifted off to sleep.
Let's talk about everything after I wake up.
Chapter 879, Werewolf
Countdown 28:00:00.
The Black Knights' air fleet, responsible for transporting Qing Chen, quickly flew into Silver City.
Countless airships landed on the ground, and the indicator lights of the entire airport shone as brightly as stars in the Milky Way, circling and hovering.
The second brother stood in the airship, personally supervising the gene warriors as they moved the elevator into the armored vehicle. Only after all the other Black Knights had gathered did he breathe a sigh of relief.
A long convoy drove out of the airport, escorted by police cars and followed by armed helicopters in the sky, making a grand spectacle.
Normally, the twelve Black Knights each do their own thing and rarely gather together, indulging in pleasure every day.
Now, two Black Knights are out on missions, but the remaining ten have all returned.
Forty minutes later, the convoy entered the Black Knights' encampment, where the Silver Duke had been waiting for some time.
The Silver Duke, dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, looked exceptionally mature and composed. He was 46 years old, one of the few Black Knights who could live past 40, because he had broken through to the demigod realm.
Based on past experience, the lifespan of a demigod can be increased to around 52 years.
Of the twelve Black Knights, only the twelfth is 30 years old; the rest are all nearing the end of their lifespan.
The Silver Duke calmly asked, "How is it?"
The second brother laughed and said, "Big brother, it's done! I brought Joker back! On the way, we encountered the Fifth Princess who wanted to kidnap him, but luckily the military base was hit by a nuclear explosion, which delayed the Fifth Princess's progress."
Upon hearing this, the Silver Duke frowned immediately: "The Fifth Princess is a fortune teller; she could certainly have predicted your past. Why would she let you succeed?"
The duke astutely grasped the key point and even became suspicious.
The second brother thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because we sent more people? Or was it because you were clever, brother, that you sent us all at once? Our fleet was three times the size of the Fifth Princess's."
“I’m still a little uneasy,” Duke White Shadow said. “Go, carry the claustrophobic elevator into the underground base and fill it with anesthetic gas. I need to verify his identity myself… Where’s the third brother?”
Just then, the sickly third brother got out of the car and said weakly, "Big brother, I'm here."
The second brother was very perceptive. He asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you want the third brother to take this body? I disagree. The Joker's body is extremely precious. It's impossible for one person to decide who gets it. We should either draw lots or vote by raising hands."
Qing Chen chuckled as he listened in the confined elevator. How could they be so unequal in dividing the spoils?
At this moment, the Silver Duke glanced coldly at the second son: "Ten years ago, the third son fought against the Fate Master for the sake of the entire Silver City, and was left with a lingering illness. It is only right that his body be given to him."
The second brother frowned: "Big brother, you can't say that. The credit is credit, but the Joker's body and memories are so important. We still need to find usable information from them and use the Joker's identity to put on a show. The third brother isn't capable enough. He hasn't improved much in hundreds of years. We can't give him to him. He can't handle such an important responsibility."
The second brother continued in a low voice, "Big brother, I know what your plan is. With us getting the Joker's body and the Qing clan's support in the Eastern Continent, you can easily establish your own country, right?"
At that time, as the head of the Qing Group and a meritorious official who helped establish the Silver Duke's kingdom, he will naturally become the first duke under the Silver King.
The Silver Duke frowned, feeling that his second brother was too hasty and shouldn't have said those things in front of all his brothers.
But the second brother is right; in fact, his plans are very ambitious and far-reaching.
Qing Chen's importance goes beyond just the path of a knight.
And his identity.
According to intelligence, Qing Chen directly controls the Qing Clan Consortium in the Eastern Continent, the Shadow Force, City 10, the Daytime Organization, and the Parents' Association, all of which are powerful allies.
Even if the technological level of the Eastern Continent is not high, the Qing family alone is equivalent to the power of a duke.
If they could take over all of this with Qing Chen's identity and memories, it would be a tremendous boost to the Black Knights.
The Silver Duke even harbors greater ambitions... such as establishing his own kingdom on the Eastern Continent.
He was fed up with being subordinate to others. If the Roosevelt family could control a country, why couldn't he?
Therefore, Qing Chen cannot die, and they will deliberately put on an act in the future to make it seem as if Qing Chen fought his way out of Silver City, so that the Black Knights can return to the Eastern Continent to take over the Qing Clan, Bai Zhou, and the Parents' Association.
The second brother said, "Anyway, I don't agree with the third brother possessing the Joker. Let's all vote by raising our hands!"
The Silver Duke's expression also showed a hint of anger: "Then you can draw lots or vote. Whoever draws the winning lot gets it. That's fair."
"Alright!" The second brother beamed, seemingly already having Qing Chen's body in his grasp.
These people who keep calling themselves the eldest brother and the second brother are actually all scheming in their hearts.
Qingchen listened with great interest, as if it were a story.
interesting.
At this moment, the Silver Duke arrived at the elevator and sneered, "You've been eavesdropping for a while now, but there's no point in eavesdropping... Take the elevator away!"
The genetic warriors carried the claustrophobic elevator into the underground base and placed it in a specially designed sealed room with a window, allowing the Black Knights to see the elevator standing inside from the outside.
The next moment, white hypnotic gas seeped into the gaps in the ceiling of the sealed room and rushed in through the elevator's ventilation fan.
About 30 minutes later, Lao Jiu said, "He should have passed out by now. Even an elephant would be fast asleep by now."
The second brother shook his head: "Wait a little longer. This Joker from the Eastern Continent has many trump cards. I need to use twice the time and twice the amount of hypnotic gas."
“If prolonged hypnosis causes neurological damage to the brain, where can he run off to in here? Big Brother is still here,” Lao Jiu said.
“That won’t work either,” the second brother said cautiously. He glanced at the possession device next to him, his expression showing a hint of excitement. “Come on, everyone raise your hands to vote. The person with the most votes will possess him!”
The Black Knights exchanged glances, and the third one said weakly, "The eleventh and fifth brothers are still on their way back. Shouldn't we wait for them?"
The second brother's smile faded slightly: "What are we waiting for? We need to find out the secrets of the knights of the Eastern Continent as soon as possible. Let's vote now!"
But actually, this thing is just like Werewolf. You vote to choose someone to possess Qingchen's body, just like you vote to kill someone in Werewolf...
At this moment, the second brother said, "Let's vote now. If the eldest brother doesn't participate, then I will start. Each person only has one vote. Raise your hand if you want to vote for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the twelfth brother raised their hands.
The second brother looked at the sixth brother in shock: "You little sixth brother, why didn't you vote for me?"
The sixth brother hesitated for a moment: "I want to vote for myself..."
The second son was cursing and about to rush up and beat him up, but he was glared at by the Silver Duke and quieted down.
However, the second-in-command didn't care too much, since he already had three votes. As long as the fifth-in-command wasn't around, the others couldn't cause any trouble.
He composed himself and said, "Raise your hand if you vote for the third brother."
To the second brother's surprise, the third, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers all raised their hands and voted for the third brother!
He suddenly turned to look at the Silver Duke. No wonder his elder brother was willing to let him vote. The other party had already predicted that he would choose to vote and then tricked him.
As it turns out, the people who are second-in-command or fifth-in-command are ultimately the people who are eldest-in-command.
You still have to be the eldest brother. Without this kind of skill, you couldn't have been a Silver Duke for hundreds of years.
The second brother smiled, completely convinced, and said, "Big brother is amazing."
He had come to understand that it was precisely because the Joker was so important that the eldest brother was not comfortable with him possessing the other person, and instead wanted to find a younger brother who was easier to control.
The third brother, known as the "daredevil" among the Black Knights, was fearless and reckless, just like Li Kui of Liangshan, who devoted his life to supporting Song Jiang.
Even if the Silver Duke offered him a cup of poisoned wine in person, he would drink it without hesitation.
Even the Silver Duke couldn't help but wonder, what if the second brother took Qing Chen's body and gave him the wrong information? That would be extremely dangerous.
He comforted his second son, saying, "Don't worry, once we obtain the legitimate knightly inheritance, we can both live forever. If the kingdoms of the Eastern Continent are re-established, I may grant you the position of First Duke."
"I'm satisfied with what you said, eldest brother," the second brother relented.
It was at this moment that the one-hour anesthesia period ended, the anesthetic gas in the sealed room was drawn away by the exhaust fan, and the Silver Duke arrived in front of the claustrophobic elevator.
He cut his finger and wrote the words "Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, BABA" on the claustrophobic elevator door.
With a ding, the text, like a code, opened the elevator door, and Qing Chen lay inside, fast asleep, limp on the ground as if his bones had been broken.
“Third brother, carry him to the body-snatching equipment; he’s yours now,” said the Silver Duke.
The third brother exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, eldest brother!"
Qingchen and the third brother lay flat on their respective beds, and the Silver Duke personally attached the nanorobot catheters to them.
When he pressed the start button, the silver nanobots inside the device were quickly injected into the two men's bodies.
Neuronal connections: 10%.
12%
19%
37%
99%
100%
The second brother revealed an envious look. The technique of neuronal connection and possession was very mature in the hands of the Black Knights. It had never failed in hundreds of years. Soon, the third brother would have unparalleled power in the Eastern Continent, as well as a body that could live to the age of 251.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious; he was even a little jealous!
The Silver Duke carefully observed Qing Chen, trying to find any flaws.
Because of the anesthetic, Qingchen did not wake up immediately.
The Silver Duke waited silently.
As time passed, Qingchen suddenly opened his eyes, but the third brother's body was now empty.
The Silver Duke stood beside him, his right hand gripping Qing Chen's neck, and calmly asked, "What is your real name?"
Qing Chen slowly looked at the Silver Duke: "Li Li."
Silver Duke: "How did we meet?"
Qingchen replied, "In the central capital, I had no money for food, and it was you, brother, who gave me a sandwich. You asked me if I had any strength, and I said I had plenty. You told me to follow you from now on, and that as long as you had something to eat, I wouldn't go hungry."
Only the Silver Duke and the Third Prince knew about this past event, so when Qing Chen said those words, the Silver Duke breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and released his grip on Qingchen's neck: "Third brother!"
Qing Chen: "Big Brother!"
Silver Duke: "Third brother!"
