Chapter 558: Although Chen Chen’s Body Has
Under the dark sky, the aurora glimmered in various hues, joining with the neon lights in the city.
Chen Chen was like a lonely traveler. He was standing on the street in thin clothes, watching the cars approaching him.
“Whup-whup-whup...”
In the sky, there was also the faint sound of a helicopter hovering.
“It’s the Chen family’s motorcade...”
By the side of the road, several pedestrians saw five or six cars approaching under the street lights. They started talking in low voices, having noticed the stormy conflict that was brewing and walked away quickly.
“Creak!”
There was a series of harsh, rapid brake screeches in the street, and then all the cars opened their doors one after another.
“Boom!”
The doors of the car were slammed close and a dozen men or so wearing black tights and slack expressions immediately got out of the car and surrounded Chen Chen.
From the stretch car at their head, two young men with serious expressions also came out.
“Catch him alive, don’t endanger him yet.”
At the same moment the door of the stretch car closed, a somewhat old voice spoke. The two young men nodded their heads when they heard these words and walked straight to Chen Chen on the path formed by the bodyguards’ partition.
“Where’s Chen Zeyu?”
Chen Chen looked at the two calmly. “Are you also from the Chen family?”
“We are.”
One of the men who was tall and thin nodded. He looked at Chen Chen, a little bewildered. “Sir, we suspect there’s a spy from the Divine Fusion Empire in the city, please come with us.”
“Who are you, why did you ask about the founder of our Blacklight City?”
The other man was shorter and fatter. He asked in a cold voice, “Why are you here in Blacklight City?”
“Heh.”
Chen Chen looked around, then smiled. “Don’t you already know who I am?”
When they heard this, their expressions wavered. They observed Chen Chen carefully again. The tall and thin man found that Chen Chen’s eyes were not at all panicked. Having lived among the masses for so long, he knew that such a cool gaze definitely could not be faked...
Could it be that the other party was...
As if thinking of something, the tall and thin man kept silent. The short fat man beside him could no longer wait. He directly waved his hand fiercely and said to the people dressed in tight outfits beside him, “Black Knights, what are you waiting for? Take him away!”
However, the people around Chen Chen did not even move.
“You, you guys?”
The short fat man looked around the group of people questioningly but found that they seemed to have not heard his command and he whispered suddenly, “Is it because my authority isn’t enough? It can’t be, my father has transferred C-level authority to me...”
“Arrest them!”
However, just when they were mired in confusion, Chen Chen suddenly spoke.
The two quickly looked at Chen Chen, but they did not understand to whom Chen Chen was talking. The next second, a few pairs of big hands suddenly clapped on their backs. Before they had time to react, they were pressed to the ground by the group of men in tight clothes!
What was happening!!!
The tall and thin man and the short fat man looked fully stunned. Their heads were directly pressed to the cold floor. Up until now, they still had not figured out what happened.
“What are all of you doing!”
The short fat man exclaimed, “You dogs, are you betraying Blacklight City?”
Even so, he was destined to be disappointed because this group of people still wore slack faces as they overwhelmed the two young men. They did not display the slightest emotion from beginning to end.
Chen Chen ignored the two of them. He stepped directly over their bodies, walked to the side of the stretch car step by step, and knocked on the window of the car.
“Whirr...”
The car window was slowly winded down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man inside.
When he saw the other party, Chen Chen immediately grinned and smiled kindly. This person’s appearance was somewhat similar to his father’s.
He was indeed a Chen family member of pure blood.
The face of the man at the car window looked a bit displeased. Still, after all, he had held a high position for a long time. Although the situation had taken a few unexpected turns, he still maintained a certain calm demeanor. “What do you plan to do?”
“Are you asking me that?”
Chen Chen held the edge of the car window with one hand and asked with mock astonishment, “I was going to ask you myself, what do you guys plan to do?”
“...”
The middle-aged man fell silent for a while. He lowered his head while his eyes flickered.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of a helicopter over their heads. The pilot who had hidden in the helicopter to prevent any mishaps fired a shot at Chen Chen!
“Bang!”
The gunfire exploded in the dark. At the same time, at the location of Chen Chen’s right temple, a huge warhead with the thickness of a finger was suspended in mid-air!
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes at once.
In the next second, one of the Black Knights suddenly turned around and took out his gun and decisively fired two shots at the helicopter overhead!
“Bang bang!”
Then, the helicopter lost control, swaying and dropping in mid-air!
“Boom!”
A huge red fireball erupted directly, blocking half of the road!
Looking at all of this, Chen Chen suddenly sneered and at the same time with a forceful grip, suddenly tore open half of the car door while he pulled the man out as if the man was some helpless little chick!
“Grandpa!”
The two men who were suppressed on the ground suddenly said in rage, “Let go of my grandpa!”
Chen Chen ignored them. He grinned icily. “Tell me, which generation of the Chen family do you come from?”
“I’m from the third generation of the Chen family, my name is Chen Zhicheng!”
The middle-aged man’s face was pale. He had lived like a prince all year round, only to be jerked about in such a humiliating manner. He only felt a burning on his face. “Chen... Calm down, we’re just confirming your identity. If you’re my grandfather’s brother, we’ll definitely arrange a proper place for you!”
“Arrange a place?”
Chen Chen dragged the man close to him, showing a puzzled and surprised look. “Are you kidding, the entire city is mine. You want to use what’s mine to arrange a place for me?”
“This, this isn’t yours, this is a city built by my grandfather!”
The middle-aged man quickly explained.
“I said this city is mine, this place is mine, and even your lives are mine!”
After saying this, Chen Chen suddenly turned around and he looked straight behind him. “Who is controlling the Black Knights, come out and face me!”
Hearing that, one of the tightly clad, slack-faced men suddenly quivered. He walked directly in front of Chen Chen, bowed, and said, “Sir Commander, I’m X-112. At the moment, the city’s defense authority and information authority are controlled by me.”
“You?”
Chen Chen’s voice was cold as frost. “Where’s X, where did she go?”
“Sir Commander, X, she...”
The Black Knight was silent for a moment. “She had been destroyed in the attack of the Consciousness Stealer. Because time was tight, before she died, she had only time to transmit me out and gave me the final order to assist the Chen family, to prevent the Chen family from being destroyed while waiting for your return!”
Chen Chen was silent for a while when he heard these words and then shook his head. “So, it’s like that...”
“Now that you’ve returned, I’ll return all the authority here to you.”
X-112 continued. “But I don’t have all the authority in Blacklight City. During these three hundred years, the Chen family tried to crack my modules. Now I have some modules controlled by the Chen family, so I couldn’t immediately dispatch the Black Knights here to greet you!”
“Crack your modules?”
Chen Chen frowned and then sneered. “Sure enough, it’s my dear little brother. It seems that he knew I wasn’t dead, so he had taken precautions long ago.”
Although this was a short exchange, it still stunned Chen Zhicheng and the two Chen members who were on the ground. Chen Zhicheng looked at the Black Knight in shock, because in his memory, these Black Knights would never communicate with him. X-112 was the same, it would only give feedback to the Chen family’s orders. For a long time, everyone thought that X-112 was just a computer with a limited amount of intelligence!
“Because Black Knights will also age, 90% of Black Knights are in a frozen state and will only be thawed if there is an emergency.”
X-112 continued to ask. “Sir Commander, do you need to defrost them now? Defrosting will take about an hour.”
“Defrost them all!”
Chen Chen replied as he dragged Chen Zhicheng into the car. “X-112, take me home now!”
“Yes!”
The Black Knight immediately obeyed. He went straight to the cab and sat inside. At the same time, the other Black Knights also escorted the two Chen men into another car and then the entire convoy immediately drove toward the Blacklight Building at the end of the road!
When the vehicle started, sirens suddenly broke out across the entire city while X-112 turned his head back. “Sir Commander, the other party has initiated the wartime state of Blacklight City. I couldn’t stop them. Now the city defense forces have been dispatched and are heading toward the Blacklight Building!”
“Can you reach the Blacklight Building before they arrive?”
“It’s difficult. They’re using gunship helicopters. This advanced troop will arrive at the Blacklight Building one step ahead of us.”
X-112 replied.
“Then let the Black Knights kill them!”
A cold gleam appeared in Chen Chen’s eyes. “Whoever wants to stand against me, I will give them what they want!”
“No!”
Chen Zhicheng hurriedly shouted in horror, “This will be the end of the Chen family...”
Before Chen Zhicheng finished speaking, he felt that he could not speak anymore. An invisible force blocked his throat. He quickly opened his mouth and tried to gulp in a mouthful of air, but he could not gulp anything.
It was like a mass of air had condensed into solid. No matter how he scrabbled, he could not make any sound.
Just as the convoy was about to arrive at the Blacklight Building, suddenly, a dozen helicopters flew in from all directions. Even so, these armed helicopters did not attack the convoy. Instead, they flew toward the Blacklight Building in a hurry. At the same time, there were bursts of fire in the Blacklight Building!
It seemed that people were already fighting fiercely inside the Blacklight Building!
“That’s the five remaining Black Knights in the Blacklight Building.”
X-112 immediately explained, “The rest of the Black Knights are thawing and now the five Black Knights have begun to attack the other armed personnel in the Blacklight Building indiscriminately, but because there are too few of them, they are about to be suppressed.”
Chen Chen waved his hand and the six cars stopped in front of the gate 100 meters away from the Blacklight Building. However, at this time, a group of soldiers with live ammunition had set up temporary fortifications and were guarding the gate.
“Sir Commander, the opponent is delaying our time, waiting for the arrival of the backup troops!”
X-112 continued to notify, “But they’re playing right into our hands because in half an hour, all the Black Knights will be thawed from the cryogenic chambers. They don’t know that I have the authority to unfreeze the Black Knights.”
“We don’t need to wait.”
Chen Chen got out of the car directly after hearing these words. He walked step by step toward the gate of the Blacklight Building. Immediately, hundreds of soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at Chen Chen and the Black Knights behind him.
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes, staring at the group of people in front of him, and suddenly said coldly, “Where’s Chen Zeyu, come out and face me!”
Although Chen Chen only used his ordinary voice, it was strange that this voice had a penetrating power. The farther it traveled, the louder the voice became.
“Come out and face me!”
“Come and face me!”
“Face me!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
After a while, several people with somewhat aged faces but full of the aura of a superior, appeared in front of the army.
At their head was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a stormy expression, but what was strange was that his face and temperament were forty to fifty percent similar to Chen Chen!
Although he had never met this man, upon seeing him, Chen Chen suddenly had an intuition that this person was his brother.
“Sigh...”
The middle-aged man opened his eyes as wide as he could, let out a sigh, and shook his head at the same time. “You shouldn’t have come back!”
“Shouldn’t I have?”
Chen Chen’s mouth twitched in a sardonic smile and then the smile gradually expanded uncontrollably as if silent emotions were flowing and spreading in him. In the end, Chen Chen was guffawing toward the sky!
“Hahahahaha, it’s my dear little brother!”
Chen Chen rubbed his palms and laughed. “My dear brother, have you already chosen to stand against me? Very good, I like that very much! Then you must’ve prepared to bear the price of rebelling against me, right?”
“I won’t necessarily lose...”
Chen Zeyu gritted his teeth. At this moment, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of suppression. This feeling permeated every inch within a radius of dozens of meters. In a while, some soldiers even started to tremble with guns in their hands.
“Father!”
“Grandpa...”
Next to him, several Chen family members who seemed to be of the same age stood out and shielded Chen Zeyu. They looked at each other, a little amazed. One of them whispered, “Is it psionics? Are the rumors true? He’s the first psionicist in the world? Impossible...”
“Let’s retreat first. All soldiers, get ready to open fire at once!”
Another person felt that the situation was turning bad and he immediately prepared to pull Chen Zeyu back.
At this moment, Chen Chen’s inner killing intent was completely ignited but at the same time, he suddenly felt the Field energy in his mind begin to emit a scorching sensation. He raised his hand to look at his palm with some puzzlement. At this moment, he sensed a weird power...
“So, is this the real use of psionics?”
Chen Chen murmured.
The killing intent became more and more potent, but Chen Chen’s mind was extremely clear as if he had taken NZT-48 and his thinking was incomparably calm.
Immediately, Chen Chen only felt that the Field energy that had fused with psionics was spreading throughout his body. He subconsciously condensed that power in his palm, only to find that this power had begun to temporarily alter his own DNA code!
“Splat!”
Before the horrified eyes of everyone, a sinister tentacle suddenly grew out of Chen Chen’s palm!
That was...
The tentacles that only the Consciousness Stealer had...
