Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 70

Ch 70: Like

“I suspect, at the very least, it’s an A-rank special-type Esper.”

As Luo Bing finished speaking, a surprised voice came from the other side: “At least A-rank?”

“Yes.”

The other side fell silent, seemingly pondering.

Luo Bing thought for a moment, then added: “However, it seems he bears us no hostility. The previous exchange was more of a test.”

“No hostility? Hmm… Then, let’s leave him be for now. You come over to the 3rd battlefield first; there’s a fire-type Esper on the other side that needs your attention.”

“Okay.”

Luo Bing responded, ending the call. She looked again in the direction that ‘Zhang San’ had left, no longer lingering, and with a turn, her figure sprinted, then stepped on the edge of the ruined building, leaping high, and after a few ups and downs, disappeared…

◈◈◈

In the ruins, Qin Jin-Nian stopped on the middle floor of another abandoned building, turned his head to confirm that the woman hadn’t caught up, and breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a bit speechless.

The Church of the End took him for a Night Watch, and the Night Watch took him for a member of the Church of the End…

He sighed.

There was nothing he could do; this was the battlefield, and as a ‘person of unknown identity’, he was bound to receive this kind of treatment.

But…

“Strong ones are indeed numerous. Two in a row broke through my defenses… It’s indeed correct not to reveal my Esper abilities.”

Qin Jin-Nian thought to himself.

Two battles, although the final result was that neither side could do anything to the other, especially when facing that woman, he even held back…

But it was enough to show that his shadow power in the extraordinary world was not yet invincible.

It’s okay in a one-on-one situation, but once Espers form a large scale… he might even find it difficult to escape.

The world of Espers is indeed dangerous.

He thought to himself.

Then he looked at the battlefield not far away, did not continue to ponder, but began to calculate the next step.

Now this place was clearly dangerous.

But, dangerous as it was, some things… still had to be done.

Not revealing his identity was caused by his sense of unease in this world. This sense of unease came from his identity as a stranger, and he couldn’t help it.

But that didn’t mean he was a coward.

Although he hadn’t been in contact with Ningning for long, he liked this little girl very much.

For this ‘like’, he was willing to take some risks.

Unless he had already seen her corpse, he would still try to find her.

After all, he had promised Lin Yun that he would ‘do his utmost’ to bring Ningning back.

But the problem now was that the Church of the End had set up camp here and was confronting the Night Watch, which meant that this should be their lair. If Ningning was still alive and hadn’t been rescued by the Night Watch, then there was an eighty percent chance she was inside.

But now that both sides were in the thick of battle, how was he going to get past?

Shadow power gave him considerable hiding ability in the dark, but that was when facing Liu An and Zhou Yuan.

To show up on a battlefield like this, he would probably be targeted instantly by the Night Watch and the Church of the End’s high-level Espers…

“…If I had the ability of that Church of the End member just now, it would be convenient…”

To be honest, Qin Jin-Nian was a little envious of the ability of that Church of the End member just now… That should be some kind of space-type Esper ability. With a flash, he disappeared. It was practical and cool.

And he could create clones…

It suited Qin Jin-Nian’s taste very well.

If he mastered that ability, wouldn’t his chances of survival soar?

His sense of unease would dissipate a lot.

But this thing could only be thought about in his heart… After all, Esper abilities couldn’t be stolen.

“I just hope that in the Authority I get later, there will be a similar ability…”

He thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Now was not the time to think about these things… The key now was how to cross the battlefield, which was currently under fire, and enter the Church of the End’s garrison to find Ningning?

Just as he was thinking, a movement suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye, and he subconsciously looked down.

He saw, in the streets of the abandoned city, a furtive figure crawling out from a place…

The other person was dressed in black, wearing a mask of an old man with a white beard.

And he, was actually crawling out of a sewer.

◈◈◈

He was also holding a backpack in his hand.

Qin Jin-Nian first focused on looking at his head, and found that there was no black mist on his head… That shouldn’t be an evil cultist.

But, there was some black mist lingering on the backpack in his hand…

Qin Jin-Nian was stunned for a moment, but then he understood something, his eyes brightened slightly, and the next moment, shadow tentacles reached out, black substance wrapped around him, and his figure jumped down…

“Damn, it’s really dangerous. If I hadn’t been smart enough, I almost died in there…”

“But, fortune favors the bold! This time, I’ve made a killing!… The Church of the End really has a lot of good stuff!”

The old man with the white beard mask was so excited that he was trembling.

So, it’s good to fish in troubled waters.

The Night Watch suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Church of the End, which shocked the entire black market three times. This matter would probably shock the entire black market world for a long time to come.

The first thing others thought of was to leave quickly, not to get involved in the muddy water, so as not to get burned.

But, there are always some people who can see hope in a crisis. They can find order in chaos. They can, in a dangerous situation, seize wealth…

Without a doubt, he was such a person!

At the first notice, he didn’t leave, but instead came to the outside of the battlefield to see if there was an opportunity. And when he found that the Church of the End’s lair was very likely to be in that gymnasium, he started to think, was there a way to cross the battlefield and get inside.

And for this, he had a certain degree of confidence… Because, he possessed the Earth Control Esper ability.

He had a certain degree of confidence in wanting to enter the gymnasium without anyone noticing.

But to move directly underground, with his Esper level, it was still a bit difficult… After all, he had only barely evolved to the third level so far, both in terms of strength and endurance, it was very limited.

Not to mention that after entering the interior of the Church of the End, there might still be a battle?

So he naturally thought of the sewer.

As long as he found a sewer leading to the gymnasium, and then combined it with his Earth Control Esper ability, he could easily enter the interior of the Church of the End, and still have some energy left.

Thinking of it, he did it. He used the Earth Control ability to sense the space underground… and he really found a sewer leading to the interior of the Church of the End, and successfully sneaked in…

The sudden battle, indeed, caused the entire Church of the End to fall into chaos. Once these evil cultists started fighting, they began to chant prayers, and their brains would become unclear. It was scary… but as long as they weren’t discovered, the problem wouldn’t be big.

Next, he relied on the Earth Control ability to roll up a large pile of resources in the rear of the Church of the End!

If it weren’t for the fact that he was discovered by the Church of the End’s Esper, and the two had a great battle, and he escaped by burrowing into the earth… he probably wouldn’t have come out yet.

But, now that he had made his money, he wasn’t greedy, so he still came out…

Putting it in his pocket was the safest.

It was enough.

Now, quickly leave this place of right and wrong!

Thinking this way in his heart, he crawled out of the sewer, ready to sneak away and make a fortune in silence.

“This sewer, leads to the interior of the Church of the End?”

But at this moment, a curious voice sounded above his head.

The white-bearded mask was immediately startled, and subconsciously looked up.

And the next moment, a coldness, but at the same time, wrapped around his hands and feet. When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that, on his hands and feet, he didn’t know when, had been wrapped by a black tentacle-like thing.

He was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to struggle.

But the next second…

“If I were you, it would be wise not to struggle now.”

That voice sounded again.

The white-bearded mask indeed stopped struggling instantly…

Because a black spike, after a rotation in the air, was aimed steadily at his forehead.

The face under the white-bearded mask, lost all color in an instant.

Cold sweat ran down.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and looked at the air…

A mysterious figure, wrapped in black substance, was hanging there…

（No, it’s too early. The first update will be at 12 o’clock in the future ━ but today it’s still three updates… I’m dizzy.）
