Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 62

Ch 62: The Night Watch Moves

As for the situation with the Night Watch, Qin Jin-nian was naturally unaware. He simply put away his phone and then quietly looked at the Gaoshan Wholesale Department. After some thought, he looked up and around. He actually found a hotel with a good view, where he could see the Gaoshan Wholesale Department. So, he walked over.

The two middle-aged women at the front desk were cracking sunflower seeds while chatting. When Qin Jin-nian walked in, they glanced at him. Seeing that Qin Jin-nian went straight to the stairwell, they looked away without even asking a question.

They obviously regarded Qin Jin-nian as a guest here… or a guest’s guest.

Qin Jin-nian went up to the fifth floor, the top floor, and then knocked on each door.

“Who is it?”

“Who?”

A few rooms had responses. Qin Jin-nian said, “Sorry, wrong room,” and moved on.

When he got to 508, there was no response to his knock. Looking through the crack in the door, there were no lights inside either. He glanced around, and there was no one there. He reached out naturally to turn the doorknob, but in reality, a shadow had already probed into the door crack, easily opening the door lock from inside.

From the outside, it looked like he had entered the room with a key.

Upon entering, indeed, no one was there. Qin Jin-nian didn’t turn on the lights. He closed the door and locked it from the inside. He went straight to the window and looked down at the area below… This position was perfect for seeing the Gaoshan Wholesale Department.

The card game there was still going on.

Qin Jin-nian thought for a moment. Suddenly, the shadow behind him began to rotate. After a moment, it actually transformed into a large and soft black sofa.

Then, Qin Jin-nian’s body naturally rose, and several shadow tentacles extended from the sofa, looking eerie, pulling Qin Jin-nian’s body into the sofa…

This sofa was two meters high and very soft, allowing him to nestle inside completely. This way, he could see the Gaoshan Wholesale Department outside the window in a semi-reclined position.

He grinned… In terms of convenience, Shadow Power was truly unmatched.

Next, it was time to wait…

But before that, Qin Jin-nian took out the phone of ‘Qin Yi’ and made a call.

The call quickly connected.

“That person?” A voice came from the other end of the phone.

“It’s me.”

As soon as Qin Jin-nian spoke, the person on the other end of the phone was clearly startled, “B-Boss?”

“Prepare a road permit for me and place it under the road marker at the Shangpu Village in Long’an District… How long will it take?” Qin Jin-nian asked directly.

“Ah, Shangpu Village in Long’an District? Boss, wait a moment…”

After a while: “Boss, it will take about an hour.”

“Okay.”

After saying this, Qin Jin-nian hung up the phone.

Then, he made another call.

“Hello?”

“It’s me.”

“B-Boss?”

“Prepare a road permit and place it at the bus stop opposite the road marker at the Shangpu Village in Long’an District… How long will it take?” Qin Jin-nian asked directly.

Zhou Yuan on the other end was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, “Boss, wait a moment, let me see… It’s not far from here, about half an hour.”

“Alright.”

Qin Jin-nian hung up the phone again.

At the same time, in two different mansions, Liu An and Zhou Yuan’s expressions were changing. They were holding their phones, hesitating, and delaying…

Go, or not go?

◈◈◈

The waiting time always feels very slow.

As the hours passed, several hours went by.

The time came to eight o’clock in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened.

The lights on both sides of the street below also came on, and the Gaoshan Wholesale Department still had some people playing cards.

Qin Jin-nian, nestled in the ‘Shadow Sofa’, gave a long yawn. After a long period of boredom, he was about to fall asleep.

And just as Qin Jin-nian was about to fall asleep, a car drove in from the entrance of Shangpu Village and parked on the side of the road.

Qin Jin-nian subconsciously glanced at it, but then, suddenly, he raised an eyebrow slightly, and then revealed a smile…

Finally, they’re here.

The sleepiness immediately vanished. He sat up straight and looked down…

◈◈◈

The vehicle pulled over and turned off its headlights, but the people in the car didn’t get out. They were waiting.

◈◈◈

Not long after…

A phone ringing sounded at the Gaoshan Wholesale Department.

“What? Oh, oh, okay, I’ll go back now.” One of the people participating in the card game received a call. After responding with “Oh, oh, oh,” he said apologetically to the others, “Sorry, guests are coming to my house, I have to go back first. Let’s end it here today, continue tomorrow.”

The onlookers nearby immediately started to make noise, saying that the other person was running away after winning money. The person laughed it off, passed out another round of cigarettes, and then left.

“He can go, let’s con…”

Another person participating in the card game was enthusiastically speaking, but suddenly paused, took out his phone, looked at it, frowned, and answered the call: “What’s up? We’re playing cards here at Gaoshan… Why go back? Not going back, still playing for a while… Huh? Really? Damn, really? Then wait for me, I’ll be right back.”

At first, this person was impatient, but later, he became a bit excited. After he finished speaking and hung up the phone, he stood up: “Haha, okay, okay, Da Lin left today, so let’s call it a day, come back tomorrow, come back tomorrow.”

“Shuanghai, what’s your situation again? So early?”

“Hahaha, nothing, the family is urging me, I’m going back, I’m going back.” Shuanghai was clearly having a good thing… his wife called him earlier and told him that she had won the lottery. Happy 8, a full five thousand yuan! What’s the point of playing cards anymore? He was planning to go back and confirm this matter quickly.

But as the saying goes, don’t show your wealth. He wouldn’t tell these people about winning the lottery, he just laughed it off and left.

Two people left in succession, and both of them were big winners today, so gradually, everyone’s spirits weren’t high.

Then another phone call came, calling away the third person. Finally, someone said: “Let’s call it a day, let’s do it today, come back tomorrow.”

After he finished speaking, he left first. The others also felt that today was the end of it, and they left one after another.

In just a short while, the Gaoshan Wholesale Department was already deserted.

Only the young boss was left.

Looking at the mess on the ground, the young boss stretched, and after a moment of staring at the door, he turned around, went inside, took a broom, and started sweeping.

When he was almost done cleaning up, he heard a light footstep coming to the door.

“What do you want?”

Subconsciously sweeping the floor, he looked up. And when he looked up, his movements suddenly froze, and then, his eyes immediately became blank…

Appearing at the door of the Gaoshan Wholesale Department was a girl with an extremely sweet appearance.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a long dress in a very Lolita style, holding a red umbrella, white stockings wrapped around her slender legs, and a pair of black small leather shoes on her feet.

She was extremely beautiful, as beautiful as an elf in the dark night.

Such a girl should be the focus of everyone’s attention wherever she appears. But unfortunately, it was already late, and only the boss was left in the Gaoshan Wholesale Department.

So, now only the boss was ‘mesmerized’.

“What’s your name?” The girl looked up, revealing a pair of eyes that shimmered with light.

“Gaoshan…”

The young boss answered blankly.

“Are you a member of the Church of the End?”

“Yes…”

“What level do you belong to in the Church of the End?”

“Monk…”

“Is the Church of the End planning to summon a ‘True God’ soon?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Did the Church of the End recently obtain a ‘Holy Seed’?”

“…I don’t know.”

The girl was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked: “What was the last order given to you by the Church of the End?”

“…To deliver a road permit to a nun’s house.”

“What’s the nun’s name, and where does she live?”

“…I don’t know the name, her house is…” He said a series of addresses.

As soon as the address was spoken, a voice came from the earpiece: “We’ve already sent someone to check.”

The girl nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked: “Who is your superior?”

“…Mr. Bai.”

“Do you have his contact information? Do you know where he lives?”

“…I have his cell phone number, 134… I don’t know where he lives…”
