Naming Technique of the Night-Chapter 803 - 484, Information Disparity
"Flight altitude 7807 meters, radar has not detected any suspicious targets, entering cruising mode."
"Descending by 1000 meters, entering cruising mode, and will arrive at the A02 military base in 8 hours."
"Sparrow will be given another sedative injection in 15 minutes."
In an A-Class Floating ship flying northward, the pilot’s report echoed through the static noise.
The airship was enormous, with an interior equivalent to a large apartment of five or six hundred square meters, extremely spacious.
Four pilots sat in the wide cockpit, in front of a 360-degree holographic exterior image. Two were responsible for piloting, one for the main weapon, and another for the auxiliary weapon system. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
The airship was exceptionally smooth, without the slightest bit of turbulence.
Qing Chen slowly woke up inside the rear cabin. He did not open his eyes, instead, he assessed his own condition.
He was bandaged again, surrounded by the thick scent of medicine, suggesting someone had bandaged him.
The wounds no longer hurt as much, and the broken ribs had been realigned.
His Memory Palace outside his mind was entwined with golden arcs of electricity, and his once overdrawn Awakening force had mostly recovered.
The number of Nanorobots in his body had decreased by half, yet those still alive remained active.
Oddly, Qing Chen’s arms were once again bound with finger and wrist locks, restricting his hand movements.
Externally, a black restraint suit tightly enveloped him. Qing Chen was like a bat wrapped in its wings, unable to move his arms at all.
Qing Chen knew this device; it was a special restraint suit designed to prevent B-Class and below Transcendents from committing suicide. Once worn, it was impossible to break free from the inside.
However, there was something else odd about it. Since Jindai Yunhe had witnessed him silently unlock the finger and wrist locks, why did they still put them on him?
These things clearly couldn’t keep him secure.
Wait a minute.
Qing Chen suddenly understood something; Jindai Yunhe hadn’t successfully rendezvoused with the Jindai troops responsible for support, preventing them from sharing known information with the Jindai Consortium.
Therefore, the Jindai Consortium forces followed their standard protocol, using the finger and wrist locks to restrain his movements.
Also, Qing Chen’s hair hadn’t been shaved off. If Jindai Yunhe were present, Qing Chen’s hair certainly wouldn’t still be there.
After all, Qing Chen had used his hair to sever half of Jindai Yunhe’s arm.
By the same logic... the Jindai Consortium didn’t yet know he was immune to possession. Previously, Jindai Yunhe and others had no chance to pass on that information.
Qing Chen closed his eyes, deep in thought.
Was Jindai Yunhe dead? Could it be the person who saved him indeed ambushed Jindai Yunhe successfully?
No matter what happened, Jindai Yunhe not meeting with the Jindai support troops was Qing Chen’s opportunity.
His current predicament was:
First, his actions were restricted by the restraint suit.
Second, it’s highly unlikely that there would be another A-Class expert in this support unit. Logically, Jindai Yunhe should have retreated with him, and this A-Class expert was the commanding officer for this mission.
Kidnapping a C-Class, deploying an A-Class expert, along with such a significant amount of manpower and resources, was already a big deal.
Finally, there was an information gap between the Jindai Consortium and him.
One must admit, Jindai Yunhe was the first true A-Class expert he had faced. Just as Shadow said, dealing with an expert at this level is quite challenging, especially for a C-Class like him.
Even after leveraging the right time and place, meticulously planning everything, and risking his Awakening, he had only managed to cripple one of Jindai Yunhe’s arms.
This solidified Qing Chen’s resolve. If he could return to the Outer World alive, the first thing he would do is take on the next challenging life-and-death trial.
There was no time for him to make thorough preparations, but Knights thrive in danger.
At this moment, Qing Chen sensed someone approaching in the cabin. He kept his eyes shut and carefully analyzed the situation, counting a total of 21 breathing sounds within the A-Class Floating ship, including the four pilots.
As he calculated, six Jindai Genetic Warriors approached him, each holding different parts of his body, preparing to inject the sedative.
Qing Chen suddenly opened his eyes: "I am Takahashi Toshiki, the neuron docking mission has been completed."
The Genetic Warriors aboard the A-Class Floating ship were stunned. They were aware of Takahashi Toshiki and the neuron docking possession mission.
It was logical to assume that Officer Jindai Yunhe had captured Qing Chen and successfully completed the possession.
Aboard the floating ship, someone contacted the A02 secret military base: "Reporting, Sparrow has awakened and claims to be Takahashi Toshiki, having successfully completed the possession mission."
A voice from the communication channel responded, "Open the holographic channel for verification."
As they spoke, six Genetic Warriors escorted Qing Chen to the cockpit. In the center of the spacious room, a holographic image formed, showing a middle-aged man with a grim face.
Qing Chen recognized him. Takahashi Toshiki’s impression of this man was deep; he was one of the commanders of the Yamata Group—Jindai Yunzi.
"Name."
"Takahashi Toshiki."
"Birthplace."
"City 22, Fireworks Town."
"Father’s name."
"Takahashi Ichiro."
"Your identification code."
"4103031..." Qing Chen recited a sequence of 27 digits in one breath. It was an identification code Takahashi Toshiki had memorized countless times. Each member of the Yamata Group had their own unique code, essential to memorize.
To be frank, memorizing such a sequence on short notice would be challenging for most people.
Jindai Yunzi asked over a hundred questions about Takahashi Toshiki, seemingly prepared for a thorough identity verification post-possession.
And Qing Chen accurately answered every question to the dot.
Ten of the questions were even trap questions, which Qing Chen dismantled perfectly.
This was the only method to verify the neuron docking possession.
So, from any perspective, Qing Chen at this moment was undoubtedly Takahashi Toshiki, unless Jindai Yunhe appeared to reveal his memory-devouring secret.
Jindai Yunzi’s holographic image vanished, and no one tried to inject Qing Chen with sedatives again.
The atmosphere inside the A-Class Floating ship calmed for half an hour. Jindai Yunzi, after reporting to unknown parties, made the final decision: "Release Qing Chen’s restraints and proceed with the original cruising plan. Ensure he is brought back to the A02 base!"
Jindai Yunzi’s expression showed a trace of excitement, reflected vividly in the hologram.
It seemed that once Qing Chen was successfully possessed, many of their plans could be implemented smoothly!
Jindai Yunzi continued: "Takahashi Toshiki, you are a meritorious figure of the Yamato Nation. I have requested higher authorities to bestow your mother with the honor of a First-class Meritorious Mother. I hope you will continue to fulfill your mission!"
Qing Chen suddenly stood at attention, clenching his right hand over his chest, performing the Jindai Consortium’s salute: "For the glory of the clan!"
At this point, Jindai Yunzi suddenly asked: "By the way, where is Jindai Yunhe?"
Qing Chen’s expression turned sorrowful: "Officer Jindai Yunhe was supposed to escape with me through the underground river beneath the cave. However, he lost an arm in battle and was severely injured. To ensure my safe return to the clan, he had to draw the enemy away by himself into a side passage. I escaped alone. Officer, Jindai Yunhe’s loyalty to the clan is unmatched!"
Qing Chen spoke with tears streaming down his face, a truly moving performance.
Even a few Genetic Warriors aboard the floating ship had their eyes turn red.
Jindai Yunzi remained silent for a few seconds: "This time, the enemy dispatched experts like Li Changqing, something the clan did not anticipate. If we had followed the original plan, he wouldn’t have had to sacrifice himself to complete the mission. But there has been no news of his death so far. With his abilities, he may have some means to survive in that cave. I hope he can return safely."
Without news of Jindai Yunhe’s death, it was the worst possible scenario.
For Qing Chen, if Jindai Yunhe were to return north alive, everything Qing Chen was doing now would be in vain.
Moreover, impersonating Takahashi Toshiki carried other risks.
Besides Jindai Yunhe, the "reinforcements" could also deduce the failure of the possession plan.
Although Li Changqing would try everything to maintain security, Jindai had harbored ill intentions for years. Who could guarantee that there are no Jindai Consortium spies among the thousands aboard the Qing Shan Ship?
The Qing Shan Ship was a strategic weapon; if Jindai were to target something for infiltration, this behemoth would certainly be a top priority.
Therefore, Qing Chen’s priority remained finding a way to leave as soon as possible.
Playing Takahashi Toshiki was merely a temporary measure.
He had no interest in risking his life dancing on the edge of a blade.
Whether Jindai Yunhe was dead or alive, Qing Chen had to prepare for the worst.
Jindai Yunzi looked at Qing Chen and said: "Recover well. Once you return to the base, the clan will have new missions for you. But also understand, the clan needs to take some precautions."
Right after speaking, the Genetic Warriors aboard the floating ship pressed Qing Chen down, injecting two small capsules into his calf and forearm.
Those were micro-explosives and tracking devices.
If Qing Chen showed any abnormality, the other side would remotely destroy him immediately.
His heart sank; they clearly didn’t fully trust him.
But Qing Chen wasn’t too worried about these micro-explosives. After all, the devices functioned through micro-chips.
If someone who commands Thunder feared these, Awakening would be a joke.
So Qing Chen didn’t struggle; instead, he solemnly declared: "For the glory of the clan, I am willing!"
"Very good," Jindai Yunzi said before closing the holographic image.
The atmosphere in the A-Class Floating ship relaxed. A pilot laughed: "Takahashi Toshiki, you really made it, successfully completing the possession. If you play the role of ’Qing Chen’ well, you’ll enjoy endless glory and wealth."
"Haha, who would’ve thought ’Qing Chen’ was easier to handle than Qing Mu. The intelligence officers of the Qing’s Family are getting worse with each generation."
"Once Takahashi Toshiki appears as Qing Chen and announces his allegiance to the Jindai Consortium, Shadow’s expression will be priceless, though no one has seen his face yet."
"People say that ’Qing Chen’ is difficult to deal with, but he doesn’t seem as formidable as rumored. If the clan had sent me to City 10, I would’ve captured him long ago."
The captain of the floating ship said coldly: "It’s not time to be happy yet. Let’s focus on whether we can safely reach the A02 base first."
Qing Chen silently observed everything around him.
