Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 11

Ch 11: Neighbors Mother and Daughter

He remembered very clearly that the Good Sister Weird had smashed for the better part of yesterday, but these burglar bars hadn’t even budged.

Afterward, he had personally slashed at that Weird with his shadow blade, and even with the shadow blade’s sharpness, he hadn’t completely split its head open… This showed that its physique was also quite astonishing.

No matter how you looked at it, it shouldn’t be unable to smash open even such aluminum burglar bars.

Under normal circumstances, these aluminum burglar bars should be like decorations to it.

But…

Qin Jin-Nian stood on the balcony, looking at the burglar bars in front of him, lost in thought.

But after a long time, he couldn’t figure anything out.

He really couldn’t understand… What reason could cause the quality of these burglar bars to be so different?

It was like heaven and earth!

In the end, he could only shake his head.

“Forget it, there will always be a time to figure it out.”

Since he couldn’t figure it out, he could only suppress it for now.

Then Qin Jin-Nian looked down into the distance… If he remembered correctly, that place was a battlefield last night.

But when he looked up and saw that place, Qin Jin-Nian was slightly stunned again, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes…

The city in the distance was peaceful and serene, the streets were clean and tidy, and the greenery was lush.

Where was there any sign of it ever being a battlefield?

“Could it be that I saw wrong?”

In the end, Qin Jin-Nian couldn’t help but feel a little lost.

After all, most of his mind had been drawn to the Good Sister and his shadow superpower at the time. When there was a major battle over there, the Good Sister Weird went crazy, and Qin Jin-Nian was immediately scared and ran away.

After that, he had a major battle on his side and fell into a coma. And when he woke up, everything was over…

So, he knew nothing about what was going on over there.

In the end, he fell into deep thought…

Carefully recalling what happened before he fell unconscious, he finally confirmed…

He hadn’t misremembered.

There must have been a major battle there. The soaring flames, the Flesh Mountain, and the suddenly detached pipes behind the Good Sister had left too deep an impression on him.

But at this moment, there wasn’t a trace of a major battle there…

This was too strange!

Burglar bars with extremely different qualities…

Traces of a battlefield that suddenly disappeared…

Qin Jin-Nian felt that there were still too many secrets in this world that he didn’t know.

And this…

Was very dangerous!

Although he now had a certain amount of combat power, in reality… Not to mention looking at the whole world.

Even looking at this small Canglan City, he was still just a small fry.

Thinking of this, he looked at the panel again…

Stat Points: 3.17…

Too little.

Although his Vitality had now reached 10, and his Mental Strength had even reached 41, he could now begin true cultivation.

But Qin Jin-Nian didn’t want to cultivate step by step.

He still had to rely on the panel.

So, Stat Points…

After thinking for a while, he took a light breath and turned to go out.

But just as he reached the door, a gentle knock sounded.

Qin Jin-Nian was stunned, then naturally opened the door.

◈◈◈

It was Sister Yun, the gentle neighbor next door.

The gentle Sister Yun was holding the little girl with big eyes by the hand. After knocking on the door, she didn’t seem to expect it to open so quickly and was obviously startled.

“Sister Yun, what is it?… “

Qin Jin-Nian asked in surprise.

When she realized it was Qin Jin-Nian, the gentle Sister Yun came back to her senses. She let out a long breath, and then said embarrassedly, “I was preparing to go downstairs to deal with the mental corruption. I noticed that you hadn’t gone out all this time, and I was afraid something had happened to you, so…”

Qin Jin-Nian immediately understood that he had been adding points and upgrading since he entered the house, and it had been almost an hour.

Then he felt a little touched.

After all, although they had been neighbors for a long time, the original owner, as a high school student, left early and returned late every day. In addition, with his dull personality, he had no intention of visiting anyone’s home.

And since he came here three months ago, he had always been uneasy and apprehensive, and he also had no intention of socializing with his neighbors.

So, at most, he and this Sister Yun had only nodded to each other in the elevator. Before today, they hadn’t even said a word to each other.

But at this moment, she was obviously very concerned about him. This kind of care from a stranger was the most heartwarming.

“Ah, thank you, Sister Yun. I was just tidying up a bit… I don’t know what happened, but the house was messed up. So, I just finished tidying up and was about to go downstairs…”

Qin Jin-Nian immediately scratched his head and explained. But when he noticed Sister Yun subconsciously looking into his house, he took the lead and closed the door, then smiled and said, “Sister Yun, let’s go down together.”

The neighbor Sister Yun didn’t see the situation in the room clearly, but after hearing Qin Jin-Nian’s explanation, she didn’t suspect anything, so she nodded, “Okay.”

The two walked to the elevator together.

At the elevator entrance, the two chatted a few more words. The elevator came, so they got on the elevator and went downstairs.

The two were a little awkward in the elevator, after all, they weren’t familiar with each other.

Qin Jin-Nian thought for a while, then looked down at the little girl who had been hugging the neighbor’s thigh all along. From the beginning, her watery eyes had been secretly looking at Qin Jin-Nian from time to time.

But when Qin Jin-Nian looked over, she quickly lowered her head and shrank behind the neighbor’s leg, but soon she would stick her little head out and peek at Qin Jin-Nian again…

Repeatedly.

This made Qin Jin-Nian laugh.

Suddenly, he smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”

When the neighbor Sister Yun heard Qin Jin-Nian’s words, she subconsciously looked over. When she noticed that he was teasing her daughter, she smiled slightly. Noticing that the little girl was just secretly looking at Qin Jin-Nian and wouldn’t let go of the leg she was hugging, she gently smiled and said, “Ningning, tell Uncle what your name is.”

Hearing the neighbor Sister Yun’s words, the little girl raised her head and looked at her mother with a blank expression, then secretly looked at Qin Jin-Nian again. After thinking for a while, she said in a soft voice with a little babyish tone, “Lin Zining…”

“So your name is Lin Zining? How old are you this year?”

Qin Jin-Nian smiled and squatted down, reaching out and touching the little girl’s head…

The little girl’s hair was very soft, like cotton.

When Qin Jin-Nian reached out, the little girl’s body subconsciously trembled, and the little hand hugging the neighbor Sister Yun’s leg also tightened.

But she didn’t answer, and the neighbor Sister Yun smiled and said, “Five years old.”

“Five years old, huh…”

Qin Jin-Nian raised his head and subconsciously replied.

“Fi, Five and a half years old…”

But then the little girl’s voice sounded, as if correcting her mother’s mistake.

The neighbor Sister Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, gently touching the little girl’s head, “Oh, that’s right, our Ningning is five and a half years old. Mommy was wrong.”

The little girl looked up at the neighbor Sister Yun and nodded like a little adult, then secretly glanced at Qin Jin-Nian again, without saying anything else.

This appearance made Qin Jin-Nian laugh.

This little girl… was quite fun.

The elevator quickly arrived on the first floor. Without teasing the little girl any further, they walked out of the elevator.

‘Waa-ooo, waa-ooo, waa-ooo…’

As soon as they left the elevator, the siren became much clearer.
