Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 86

Ch 86: Night Watch Community

“Is he home?”

The purple-haired woman looked at the wall and asked thoughtfully.

“He’s a student, um, he should have gone to class.”

Lin Yun answered a little nervously.

The purple-haired woman was silent for a moment, “Besides him, does anyone else know about Ningning’s disappearance?”

“There are many, besides the police, there are also the kindergarten teachers, including the parents… basically everyone knows.”

Lin Yun realized this was an opportunity to divert attention and quickly said, “The kindergarten has been closed for two days because of this…”

The purple-haired woman naturally already knew this, nodded upon hearing it, and thought for a moment before saying, “I understand… Alright, there’s nothing else, you and Ningning pack up, and then go to the Night Watch community… We’ll wait for you outside.”

After saying this, the purple-haired woman turned and walked out of the room.

The young man smiled at Lin Yun, winked at Ningning, and then followed.

Seeing that the two didn’t continue to press, Lin Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could exhale, a knock came from the hallway…

Lin Yun’s expression changed, and she immediately became a little uneasy again.

After the knocking sounded several times…

“Who is it?”

Qin Jin-Nian’s voice, which seemed a little weak, faintly came out.

At Qin Jin-Nian’s room door, hearing this voice, the purple-haired woman and the young man looked at each other.

Then the young man spoke, “We are the Night Watch, please come out for a moment, we have some questions to ask.”

“Night Watch?”

The person in the room seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said, “Okay, please wait a moment…”

The two waited patiently at the door. After a short while, the door opened, and a thin, pajama-clad youth opened the door.

“You, what’s the matter?”

The youth’s somewhat reserved voice sounded.

The purple-haired woman’s gaze first quickly swept over the other person’s room… it looked a little messy, but it fit the solitary youth of this age.

Then, her gaze fell on the youth…

The youth was very thin, his height might only be a little over 1.6 meters, even shorter than her by a head.

He had a messy head of black, choppy hair, but at the moment, it was basically a bird’s nest.

And the first feeling when seeing the youth was thin… very thin. The hand he used to open the door, the skin was white to an excessive degree, almost just bones except for a layer of skin.

This made him look very weak.

This was obviously a little beyond the purple-haired woman’s expectations. She frowned slightly and didn’t speak.

The young man had already asked, “Are you Qin Jin-Nian?”

“Yes. What’s the matter?” The youth nodded, then asked a little reservedly.

During the process, his eyes secretly sized up the two, and when he saw the purple-haired woman, he keenly noticed that the other person was clearly stunned for a moment, and then quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at her for too long.

This discovery made the purple-haired woman’s eyes move slightly.

“That’s right, the child of your next-door neighbor is missing, do you know about this?” the young man asked.

The youth was clearly stunned for a moment, then seriously nodded, “I know, Ningning… It’s been several days, her disappearance is very strange, I always feel something is wrong. You…”

The youth hadn’t finished speaking.

“Xiao Nian.”

Lin Yun from next door had already walked out with Ningning and called out to him.

The youth subconsciously paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Yun, and immediately his eyes fell on Ningning. He showed a look of surprise on his face, “Ningning?! Sister Yun, Ningning is back?”

“Yes, all thanks to these two…”

Lin Yun said quickly.

And Ningning’s big eyes looked brightly at Qin Jin-Nian. Before Qin Jin-Nian could speak to her, she had already called out, “Uncle.”

“Ah, good, good, good, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back… Ningning is okay, right?”

This “Uncle” made even Qin Jin-Nian stunned for a moment, and then he quickly responded.

“It’s fine, it’s fine…” Lin Yun said quickly, and then said, “Right, today Ningning and I may have to move, there are a lot of things at home, if you don’t have class today, you have to come and help me.”

“Uh, I was supposed to have class, but I’m not feeling well again, so I just took a leave… Okay. You’re moving? Where are you moving?”

“This… can I say it?” Lin Yun looked at the two Night Watch members.

◈◈◈

“…”

Both the purple-haired woman and the young man were stunned for a moment, and the questions they originally wanted to ask were also interrupted.

The young man looked at the purple-haired woman, and after the purple-haired woman was silent for a moment, she said, “For Ningning’s sake, the fewer people who know, the more safe she is… However, you can decide for yourself.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, Xiao Nian is my adopted brother, she’s Ningning’s uncle, it’s okay… Oh right, Xiao Nian, you still don’t know, right?” Lin Yun quickly vouched for Qin Jin-Nian, and then she chattered on.

She said almost everything the purple-haired woman had just told her.

Qin Jin-Nian looked ‘very surprised.’

“Espers? Ningning, is actually an Esper?”

The expression of being completely shocked, ‘shocked’ looked at Ningning.

And Ningning’s big eyes rolled around, her bright eyes kept staring at Qin Jin-Nian, and she didn’t say anything.

The ‘siblings’ chatted as if no one else was there, which made the purple-haired woman and the young man next to them a little silent.

After a long while, the purple-haired woman gave the young man a look, and the young man understood, and quickly interrupted their conversation, “Alright, alright, whatever you want to say, you can talk about it when you get to the place… We still have official business later, after sending you over, we still have to go and be busy.”

“Ah, sorry, sorry… Xiao Nian, come and help.”

“Oh, okay… Oh, Sister Yun, I just got up, I’ll go change a set of clothes and come over…”

“Alright.”

Lin Yun took Ningning and went back to the house, and Qin Jin-Nian also closed the door and went to change clothes…

As soon as the door was closed, Qin Jin-Nian paused slightly, and then, a smile appeared on his face…

Sister Yun’s reaction was a little beyond his expectations, he didn’t expect her to know how to come out and disrupt the view…

He smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and after confirming that he hadn’t revealed any flaws just now, he really went to change clothes.

Outside the door were only the purple-haired woman and the young man.

The young man shrugged his shoulders and looked at the purple-haired woman who was lost in thought, “Sister Tong, I don’t think this Qin Jin-Nian seems to be Zhang San… His body is so weak, he doesn’t seem to have any cultivation. There’s no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body, he can’t be an Esper.”

The purple-haired woman didn’t think so, and after frowning, she looked at the young man, “Is that so? Then why did he instinctively avert his gaze the first time he saw me?… My intuition tells me that he is very suspicious.”

“Averted his gaze?”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes strangely sized up the purple-haired woman.

“?”

This gaze made the purple-haired woman’s eyebrows immediately furrow, “What do you mean by this gaze?”

“Sister Tong… you, don’t you have any understanding of your own charm?”

“Huh?” The purple-haired woman was stunned, “What?”

“Early in the morning, Qin Jin-Nian, an ordinary high school student, opened the door and saw a big beauty with your temperament appearing at the door… Can he not be stunned? And the instinctive reaction, not quickly averting his gaze, is it not normal to stare at you?”

The purple-haired woman was stunned.

The young man laughed out loud, and then shook his head, “Saying it like this, I instead think it’s less likely for him… If he’s really Zhang San, would he leave such an obvious flaw for you to suspect?”

The purple-haired woman: “…”

Seems, a little reasonable?

…

◈◈◈

Half an hour later, Qin Jin-Nian, along with Lin Yun and Ningning, got into the Night Watch’s car.

Actually, there wasn’t much to pack, after all, the purple-haired woman had made it very clear, that side was completely move-in ready.

Ningning sat in Lin Yun’s arms, Qin Jin-Nian sat next to her, and Lin Yun’s expression was slightly tinged with excitement…

After the initial panic and helplessness passed, thinking about the new life that was about to begin, how could she not be excited?

However, the Night Watch members were still beside them, she had a lot of things she couldn’t say, she could only endure it and didn’t talk much to Qin Jin-Nian.

And Ningning kept secretly looking at Qin Jin-Nian, her bright eyes blinking.

Qin Jin-Nian also didn’t speak, but he always felt that Ningning’s eyes were a little strange.

“Did Ningning eat well these few days? Uncle will catch a few big fish for you to eat in a couple of days, okay?”

Qin Jin-Nian instinctively teased Ningning.

Ningning obediently nodded, and said in a milky voice, “Okay.”

The purple-haired woman and the young man didn’t speak at all during the whole process, and then, the car drove all the way into the Night Watch community…
