Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 36

Ch 36: The End, Night Blood

“Who are you…”

The Headmistress, her neck twisted, stared at the mysterious man on the sofa, the excruciating pain causing her voice to tremble violently…

Perhaps, not just because of the pain.

The masked man looked at the woman, naked in the air, but his eyes were calm as a well, and his voice was still gentle: “You probably didn’t hear me clearly just now? I’m asking you, not the other way around. Sorry, I’m a bit in a hurry, so don’t waste each other’s time, let’s start now.”

The woman was still in a daze, but the masked man had already asked the first question: “What’s the name of your church?”

Just the first sentence, and the Headmistress’s expression changed abruptly, and then she stared at Qin Jin-Nian, “Are you… a Night Watcher?…”

“Unfortunately, that’s the wrong answer.”

The man shook his head regretfully, and while the woman was still puzzled, the next moment, her whole body suddenly trembled, and then, she let out a shrill scream.

Her face was almost contorted as she turned her head abruptly, and then she saw a shadow, which had burrowed into her flesh from the position of her severed wrist, causing her pupils to dilate suddenly. The intense pain and a kind of extreme fear mixed and struck, causing her whole body to almost convulse.

The man’s voice was still gentle: “The soundproofing in your house is pretty good, I’ve added another layer inside, so it shouldn’t affect the neighbors. But still, I’m in a hurry, so don’t waste each other’s time. Now, can you answer?”

In the Headmistress’s screams, she saw the shadow burrowing into her flesh bit by bit, and where it passed, the bones and flesh separated, bulging high, and fresh blood gushed down. The immense pressure, both physical and psychological, finally made her unable to bear it and screamed, “I’ll say it, I’ll say it!!!”

The shadow stopped immediately, and only the Headmistress’s violent panting remained in the room. Her lips had already been bitten until they bled.

“Hmm?”

After panting a few times, the man gave a questioning, soft “hmm,” which made the Headmistress shiver all over, and quickly opened her mouth, “The Church of the End!”

The Church of the End?

That’s a strange name.

The man thought to himself, and gently nodded: “Second question, what is your position in the church?”

The Headmistress’s face changed again. She bit her lip tightly and barely looked up at the man: “You’re not a Night Watcher, the Night Watchers wouldn’t use this kind of hand…”

Before the sentence was finished, the shadow moved again.

The woman screamed again. On her right arm, a purple mark bulged high, twisting and wriggling inside, as if a living thing had burrowed in.

“Stop, stop!! I’ll say it, I’ll say it!!!”

The woman finally couldn’t hold back and screamed again.

The shadow stopped.

She panted violently a few more times, and a look of despair had already appeared on her pale face…

She finally realized that the man in front of her, the means of torture, were no less ruthless than those of their church’s Inquisition.

Even, the feeling that this person gave her was even more cold-blooded… He could speak in such a calm and gentle voice while carrying out such torture… This kind of smiling tiger, is the most terrifying.

“I, am just an ordinary outer affairs manager.”

The woman finally recognized the situation before her, and she lowered her head, panting as she answered.

The man did not answer, as if thinking about something, and after a moment: “Third question, how many people are there in the Church of the End in total?”

The woman was silent for a moment, and this time she did not resist again. Her eyes were cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, “I can’t answer you this question. I’m just an outer affairs manager, and I’m not very clear about the situation within the church.”

“Who brought you into the church?”

“A Red-Robed Priest.”

“Specific identity.”

“I don’t know.”

“Hmm?”

“I really don’t know! I just accidentally picked up a flyer from the Church of the End, went to the website they gave, and then I came into contact with the Church of the End. Later, I participated in several offline activities organized by the church… but most of the attendees were just ordinary people. It was later, when I participated more often, that I slowly came into contact with a cleric and officially joined the church.”

“…Why did you join this church?”

“Why not? Before joining the church, I was just an ordinary person. Anxious every day, uneasy all the time. But after joining the church, the True God granted me power, allowing me to have the opportunity to control my own life, why not?”

“Under the blood moon, the True God descends, everyone will die, everyone will die! …Only by joining the church, only by being protected by the True God, will you not die. You can even obtain eternal life…”

“Eternal life?”

“The God will grant eternal life to the believers!”

“Have you seen the God?”

◈◈◈

“…As long as you are pious, you will eventually see it!”

“…Very pious faith, so continue… As an outer affairs manager, what is your work usually?”

“I do whatever the church tells me to do.”

“For example?”

“…Most of the time, the church doesn’t specifically tell us to do anything, just to hide our identities and live peacefully. Occasionally, there are some special orders, such as putting some things in a designated place before the blood moon.”

“What things?”

“The church sent them, they were all wrapped up, I don’t know.”

“Holy artifacts?”

“…How do you know about holy artifacts? Who are you, exactly?”

“Our current atmosphere is very pleasant, can we not ruin this pleasantness?”

“…Yes.”

“Purpose?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hmm?”

“I really don’t know!”

“…In addition to this, are there any other tasks?”

“No… at least I haven’t received any other tasks.”

“See, you’re trying to ruin the pleasant atmosphere again. Since I know about the holy artifacts, do you think I wouldn’t know about other things?”

“…You, who exactly are you?”

“Where are the Holy Seeds sent?”

The words ‘Holy Seed’ came out, and the Headmistress’s whole body trembled. She suddenly stared at the man sitting on the single sofa with his legs crossed, and after a moment, she lost her voice: “It’s you! You are…”

Before the woman could finish her sentence, the man’s hand moved slightly, and the next moment, a shadow, turned into a large hand, covered her mouth, and her next words became a ‘wuwu’ sound.

“You know, that’s enough, don’t say it out loud. So, can you answer this question?”

The man asked gently.

The woman looked at the man in disbelief, and subconsciously struggled a few times, but the cold shadow tentacles were not something she could break free from now. Despair finally appeared in the depths of her eyes, and after struggling in vain, she finally lowered her head weakly.

The shadow hand slowly loosened, and the woman looked at the man with a complex expression, closed her eyes: “The Black Market.”

“The Black Market?”

This answer was obviously a bit beyond the man’s expectations, and the eyes under the mask narrowed slightly.

The woman continued expressionlessly: “The church headquarters, is said to be in the Black Market. But which Black Market specifically, I don’t know either… I’ve never been there. The Holy Seeds were also personally received by a Red-Robed Priest… and only go to the headquarters.”

“Do you have a Road Permit?” Qin Jin-Nian asked after a moment of silence.

“No.” The woman shook her head.

“…I do.”

Qin Jin-Nian’s next sentence made the woman stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she saw him holding a black card between his two fingers. Then a shadow tentacle pinched the card and handed it to the woman’s face.

The woman subconsciously stared at the black card, and when she saw the black card, and the words ‘Night Raven’ on it, her expression changed abruptly!

“Are you a Red-Robed Priest of the Night Blood Church?!”

The Night Blood Church?

Qin Jin-Nian was stunned, and then his teeth felt a little cold.

Things, seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
