Chen Shuang Jin

Character in Reverend Insanity

III Dead

Chen Shuang Jin is Chen clan's vice leader on the Southern Border merchant caravan that travels with Jia Long.

After repeated beast attacks leave the caravan shaken, he quarrels with Jia Long over who must hold the first line of defense. Jia Long claims Chen clan has the greatest strength left; Chen Shuang Jin laughs coldly and rejects that claim. Road talk names him Lord Chen Shuang Jin, notes that Jia and Chen had seemed close, and links Chen clan’s cooler face toward Jia Long to Jia Fu and Jia Gui rivalry. ch. 247

Spoils, counsel, and the zombie line

After the white feather flying elephant disaster he coughs as vice leader and rejects equal shares of ownerless goods, saying Chen clan sacrificed and killed the most and wanting at least thirty percent. ch. 249

Rank among caravan leaders

When Bai Ning Bing fully releases snow silver primeval essence in camp, the narration states that among the caravan leaders only Jia Long is rank three upper stage, and the rest are rank three initial or middle stage. Chen Shuang Jin is one of those leaders. ch. 251

When leaders size up Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing after Ou clan’s father and son fall, he is among those who would rather not become cannon fodder for someone else’s gain. After the caravan leaders finish their private tent discussion, his nephew Chen Xin approaches Chen clan’s caravan leader. Chen Shuang Jin takes him to their own tent and, once they confirm no one is eavesdropping, Chen Xin reminds him of the earlier report that Zhang Zhu was murdered. Chen Shuang Jin states that Zhang Zhu died to bone spears and that Hei Tu and Bai Yun used bone spears that day. He refuses a public accusation, arguing that witnesses without material evidence, and clans with different motives, cannot match two foes who just killed Ou clan’s father and son, and he tells Chen Xin that in this cold world only strength matters. ch. 252

During the zombie siege he asks what good suggestion Fang Yuan has after Fang Yuan scolds the camp. Fang Yuan points at him and berates the leaders; Chen Shuang Jin’s face turns ugly, yet he suppresses his anger because he still remembers Fang Yuan killing Ou clan’s father and son. ch. 255

Death in the zombie battle

When Fang Yuan weighs whether witnesses to Zhang Zhu’s death might shout the truth, the narration states that Chen Xin and Chen Shuang Jin, who knew the matter, had already died in battle. ch. 257
