Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 84

Ch 84: He is called Qin Jin-Nian.

Hearing this question, the purple-haired woman smiled, “She’s still just a child, what could she possibly need to do? When she truly needs to do something, that will be after she becomes an adult, or even after she has completely grown up.”

“The Night Watch’s duty is to deal with the weird. Her future work will definitely be very dangerous. I won’t hide this from you either. But… in this world, where is there a place that is absolutely safe?”

“So-called safety is nothing more than someone already isolating the danger outside… and Ningning’s future is to be one of those who isolate the danger.”

The purple-haired woman’s words made Lin Yun stunned. She looked at the confused girl she was holding, and from Ningning’s birth, her only expectation for her was to grow up safely and healthily, then find a decent ordinary job, and find a husband who loved her… Besides that, she had no other requests.

But the purple-haired woman’s words made her see another future… a future full of unknown terror and danger.

But, what can Lin Yun do?

For example, this time, the Evil Church set its sights on Ningning. Besides crying at home and being unable to sleep or eat, what else could she do?

She’s just an ordinary woman. Facing things that are completely beyond her ability, all she can do is endure it… whether she can bear it or not.

She was silent for a long, long time, tears streaming down her face. If possible, as long as Ningning was fine and safe, she didn’t care about any house or money. She just wanted Ningning to be fine.

But now, this wish was obviously a luxury… Because of her superpowers, the Evil Church had set its sights on her. The Night Watch had also set its sights on her.

Lin Yun wasn’t a fool. She knew how rare espers were, and she also roughly knew how powerful espers were… Since Ningning had already revealed her talent, it was impossible for the Night Watch to ignore her… Even if they didn’t consider the issue of ‘protection’, they also needed to consider the consequences of Ningning’s ‘superpower out of control’.

Even ‘superpower out of control’ could be disregarded… but they had to consider the problem after she grew up.

How could they just let go of such a powerful mental-type esper who was ‘in the wild’?

So, Lin Yun actually had no choice.

“I… I understand. Then, can I still see Ningning in the future?”

She asked with tears in her eyes.

“Why would you ask this question?”

The purple-haired woman was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately understood her thoughts, shaking her head and saying, “The Night Watch is a formal official department, not some evil church… Don’t worry, Ningning will still live with you in the future. But it will be in your new house. She’s still no different from ordinary children, she should go to school, and everything should be the same… The Night Watch will provide her with all-around protection. It’s not what you imagine, to take Ningning away from you.”

As Lin Yun widened her eyes in shock, the purple-haired woman’s expression softened a bit, and she smiled, saying, “After all, what the Night Watch wants to cultivate is a mentally and physically healthy pillar of the nation… not a war machine.”

These words immediately made Lin Yun burst into tears and laugh, she kept apologizing, “Yes, I’m sorry, I, I was thinking wrong. I, I understand. Then, then what do I need to do now?”

“You don’t need to do anything. Things have been arranged when we came, as long as you agree, you can move to the Night Watch community now, and then start your brand new life.”

The purple-haired woman smiled and nodded.

It was indeed a brand new life… Before today, she and Ningning lived in a small apartment with a total area of no more than twenty square meters. She had to work hard every day, running around for her and Ningning’s three meals a day. Sometimes she was really tired, but for Ningning, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

And now, they could move to the safest community in the city, live in a big house of one hundred and eighty square meters. Although she hadn’t seen it yet, she could also imagine that it would definitely be an excellent residence. Clean, tidy, and spacious. The living room had large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the windows were bright and clean.

Ningning could have her own small room, and the small room could be decorated very warmly and full of childlike fun.

They also had a monthly salary of 300,000, and no longer had to struggle inside because Ningning liked a small doll, calculating whether they would have enough money this month if they spent it here…

She would have a huge kitchen, and the facilities in the kitchen would be complete. She could watch her favorite TV while happily studying the recipes in the kitchen, and carefully prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Ningning.

When she was free, she could also take Ningning to the amusement park she had always wanted to go to, and no longer have to worry about a ticket costing her half a month’s salary…

She could also…

Just thinking about it, Lin Yun was already stunned.

She wasn’t a woman with ambition.

She didn’t crave money, she didn’t pursue any luxury goods or brand-name bags. For her, as long as she could let her and Ningning eat their fill and stay warm, it was enough.

◈◈◈

But she, very much longed for the kind of life in her dreams that was full of freedom and a happy atmosphere.

That kind of life was her dream before.

But she had always been soberly aware that all of this, I’m afraid, could only be a dream.

But now, the dream seemed to have come true.

“Can, can it really be done?”

Her voice was trembling a little.

“Of course.”

The purple-haired woman smiled and nodded. The young man beside her also showed a smile and nodded.

Lin Yun didn’t know what to do for a moment. She stared blankly at Ningning, and Ningning’s confused big eyes also looked at her. The bright big eyes were as always, with a mother’s dependence and trust.

“I understand.”

Lin Yun finally took a deep breath and nodded.

The purple-haired woman nodded, and then said, “Ningning’s matter has been roughly arranged like this… well, there are still some questions I want to ask you.”

“Well, what is it?” Lin Yun looked up in confusion.

“Besides you, does anyone else know about Ningning’s disappearance?”

The purple-haired woman slowly said, “I heard the police say that on the day of the disappearance, you had a younger brother who seemed to have gone to the police station with you… but I checked your file… you don’t seem to have a younger brother, right? Who is he?”

This question made Lin Yun’s heart beat violently, and she immediately sobered up.

That’s right, it was Xiao Nian’s friend who helped a lot in rescuing Ningning.

But that friend’s identity was problematic, and they couldn’t have contact with the Night Watch.

So if Xiao Nian was involved, it was very likely that his friend would be further involved… Then how would Xiao Nian explain to that person?

But Xiao Nian had been to the police station that day, and there must be surveillance at the police station, which means that this matter couldn’t be concealed at all.

She recalled Qin Jin-Nian’s instructions just now, and thought carefully, it seemed that there was no special instruction that they must not mention him, but only that they must not mention that they already knew about the Evil Church, and that Xiao Nian had found someone to investigate this matter…

Thinking of this, Lin Yun pondered and nodded, “Yes, I don’t have a younger brother, that’s my adopted younger brother…”

“What’s his name? Where does he live?” The purple-haired woman asked calmly.

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, and then found that she couldn’t help it if she didn’t answer this question, because the other party could find out in a matter of minutes, so she could only point to the next door and say, “He lives next door to me… He’s called Qin Jin-Nian, and he’s still a high school student.”

“He doesn’t live here, so he occasionally comes to my place for dinner. On the day Ningning disappeared, he gave me a call, and I just told him about Ningning’s disappearance, so he rushed over…”

Listening to Lin Yun’s explanation, the purple-haired woman’s gaze also followed the direction of her finger and looked next door.

Ningning blinked her eyes and also looked in the direction her mother was pointing, and then she was stunned, blinked her eyes, and didn’t say anything.
