Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 37

Ch 37: The Problem of Intelligence

“No, that’s not right, you’re not… Who exactly are you? Why do you have a Night Blood Certificate? Could it be, could it be that you killed a Night Blood Red Robe?…”

“No, that’s impossible! Red Robe Priests possess supreme divine power, how could it be so easy…”

Before Qin Jin-nian could speak, the Headmaster was already muttering to herself, seemingly shocked and losing her composure.

“It seems you know quite a bit… Then, let’s talk more about the Night Blood.”

Qin Jin-nian paused, then his gentle voice rang out.

The Headmaster’s muttering ceased. After a moment, she slowly raised her head, and her gaze towards Qin Jin-nian had changed, becoming frenzied and venomous:

“You have no idea what you’ve done. You’re dead. Not just you, but also your family, loved ones, friends… Anyone connected to you, maybe even someone who’s only met you once, they’re all dead!”

“You killed a Night Blood Red Robe and dared to keep the Night Blood Certificate on you… Heh heh heh heh… The Night Blood Certificate contains the divine power of the Night Blood Protoss, and it has already recorded your soul aura; they might have already locked onto you!”

“You can’t escape!”

“The next blood moon will be when the Night Blood Church settles accounts with you!”

“At that time, everyone who has had contact with you will become the Night Blood Protoss’s food source!”

“Their bodies will be devoured by the Protoss, their hearts will become sacrifices, and their heads will be used as wine cups.”

“Their souls will become slaves to the Protoss’s servants, and finally, they will struggle, scream, and despair under the divine power, eventually twisting, becoming deformed, and eternally falling into the abyss.”

“Hahaha…”

“This is all because of you… All because of you!”

The Headmaster laughed wildly, her laughter filled with delight.

But the words she spoke caused Qin Jin-nian’s brow to furrow.

“The Night Blood Protoss… What exactly are they?”

Qin Jin-nian asked.

But the Headmaster no longer answered him; she seemed to have suddenly understood something, and only laughed wildly.

Qin Jin-nian’s brow furrowed slightly, and his fingers gently gestured. Immediately, the shadows that had burrowed into her flesh began to writhe again.

The Headmaster immediately let out a shrill scream, and her body also began to twist, struggle, and writhe under the binding of the shadow tentacles.

But this time, she did not yield.

She screamed shrilly: “Hahaha, it’s useless, it’s useless. I am the most devout believer of the gods, I bathe in the merciful gaze of our Lord, worldly pain and suffering are like nectar and jade liquor to me. I will eventually see the gods, walk with the gods, and witness the end of all things!”

“I am the End’s people, the destination of all things. Our Lord overlooks all living beings from the land of the End. I am the End’s people, our Lord…”

The Headmaster changed.

She became brave.

The excruciating pain did not make her yield again; instead, it made her constantly murmur strange prayers. At first, Qin Jin-nian could barely hear her, but later, he could no longer hear clearly… The excruciating pain and prolonged blood loss had caused her consciousness to fall into a state of chaos.

Her face was contorted and twisted, but at the same time, she had an indescribable sense of holiness… This sense of holiness came very strangely and very suddenly.

This made Qin Jin-nian’s brow furrow tightly.

That’s why he didn’t want to have contact with these people… Many of these people are crazy.

But what exactly was the situation with this Headmaster? Before he took out the black card, this Headmaster was clearly still afraid of pain, answering whatever he asked… Of course, there was definitely concealment in this, but at least it allowed Qin Jin-nian to know some information.

But after he took out this black card, the Headmaster changed.

She became brave and frenzied, which was more in line with his stereotype of these people.

But this was a bit tricky for Qin Jin-nian… This Headmaster knew a lot of things, and he still had a lot he wanted to ask.

But now…

Just at this moment, Qin Jin-nian’s expression suddenly changed because he suddenly saw that a wisp of black mist was slowly emerging from the Headmaster’s body…

This caused Qin Jin-nian’s gaze to suddenly sink, and almost without any hesitation, the shadow that had been hovering above her eyebrows suddenly ‘poof’ and pierced through the Headmaster’s head.

The strange and shrill prayer instantly came to an abrupt halt.

The Headmaster’s body twitched a few times in the air, and finally, it completely softened, like a broken doll, hanging from the ceiling.

And the black mist that had just appeared also slowly dissipated after a slight pause.

Qin Jin-nian’s brow under the mask furrowed tightly. After a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and the shadow tentacles slowly descended. The Headmaster’s corpse fell to the ground, her eyes wide open, and a blood hole between her eyebrows was shocking.

After pondering for a moment, the shadow tentacles slowly merged into the darkness.

But three shadows extended out, one of which came to the bedside and picked up the Headmaster’s phone, which was charging there. And the other two brought her left and right severed hands over.

On the car, this Headmaster had been constantly dialing her phone, obviously chatting with someone.

Combining the excitement she showed before leaving the kindergarten today, Qin Jin-nian deduced that the person behind the phone was very likely also someone from the Church of the End.

And it was very likely that this person knew where Ningning was.

He controlled the two severed hands and tried to unlock the phone’s fingerprint password.

As a result, when the right thumb touched the fingerprint sensor interface, the phone made a light ‘click’ sound, and the password was unlocked.

He glanced at the phone and reached out to take it.

As a result, he saw the information on it at a glance.

“The Holy Church conference at the end of the month will bestow upon you the latest divine blood and the identity of a ‘cleric’… I will arrange for someone to send the road permit to you tomorrow. Congratulations, Sister Luo.”

Qin Jin-nian was stunned for a moment, furrowing his brow and opening this message.

He chatted a lot, and Qin Jin-nian flipped to the top and found that the first message was sent after seven o’clock in the evening… after reporting the situation of Ningning’s disappearance to the police.

The other party replied very little.

At first, he would only reply with one or two sentences when the Headmaster made a request.

But after eight o’clock, the frequency of the other party’s replies clearly increased.

“The White-Robed Priest just told me that after the Red Robe Priest’s careful investigation, this Holy Seed is of excellent quality and is very likely to survive the divine descent ritual! Congratulations, Sister Luo, you have made a great contribution to the Lord!”

◈◈◈

“Our Church will have another true god coming!”

“Praise the Lord of the End of All Things!”

After this message, the words sent by the Headmaster also became obviously excited. And the other party also occasionally responded, seeming very happy…

It seems that the matter of the Holy Seed is not only beneficial to the Headmaster. It’s also beneficial to the other side.

They even had the leisure to chat with this Headmaster for a while.

Looking at the following words, Qin Jin-nian’s expression suddenly became strange again.

Because he vaguely sensed from the Headmaster’s words that she seemed to have a great fondness for the person on the other side. But she was also very restrained…

A sense of a female subordinate secretly in love with a domineering boss.

Recalling the Headmaster’s expression and performance on the car and after getting off… it really seemed like she had fallen in love…

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at the Headmaster lying next to him, her face contorted and completely naked.

But his gaze was very calm.

Speaking of which, he had no grievances with this Headmaster, but he directly killed her, which sounded very cruel.

But Qin Jin-nian didn’t think so.

Not to mention that he really liked Ningning, and the other party chose to attack her… Taking a step back, even if it wasn’t an attack on Ningning… Could it be okay to attack other children? Qin Jin-nian is not a saint; if he hadn’t encountered this, he wouldn’t have deliberately looked for trouble.

But since he encountered it and decided to take action, he wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

Thinking of this, the shadow tentacles sent the two severed hands to the side of the corpse. Then, with a thought, Shadow Devour was activated!

The black curtain turned into a swamp, slowly devouring the other party’s corpse, along with the blood and severed limbs…

After it completely disappeared, the shadow returned to his feet, and a sense of unprecedented intense comfort instantly filled his body.

【You activated ‘Shadow Devour’, devouring the flesh and blood of ordinary dark creatures, attribute points +187.14, shadow points +214.28. Mental and physical strength slightly recovered. 】

The prompt text appeared on the panel, making Qin Jin-nian stunned…

Attribute points 187? Shadow points 214?

Not to mention the attribute points…

These shadow points…

are very telling.

Qin Jin-nian couldn’t help but think of the black mist that had appeared on this Headmaster’s body just now, and his eyes slowly flickered.

“Could it be that these church members will all increase… shadow points for me?”

Attribute points are not a big problem for Qin Jin-nian at the moment.

But shadow points made him a bit of a headache… After all, only dark creatures have shadow points.

And the blood moon is too dangerous for him, and it only happens once a month, which obviously greatly reduces his upgrade speed…

Who made the panel cap the level?

Without the improvement of cultivation and rank, his vitality and mental strength cannot be improved.

At least there is a path for cultivation; even if it hasn’t started now, once it gets on the right track, the progress won’t be slow.

It’s the rank that has become the biggest difficulty, relying only on shadow points to brute-force it.

So shadow points have become the biggest difficulty.

But now, he seemed to have seen a path…

His eyes flickered for a moment, then he exhaled lightly, and finally looked at the information on the phone.

He was silent for a moment.

Ningning doesn’t know where she was taken, and it’s very likely that she was taken to the headquarters located in a black market, as the Headmaster said.

The possibility of rescuing her in such a short time is almost nonexistent.

Not to mention that he still can’t even find the exact location.

Even if he could find it, it would be sending his head to the enemy to go there so rashly.

Don’t look at how easily he killed this Headmaster, but that was because he got the upper hand with a sneak attack. With the speed and strength the other party showed before, if it was a head-on fight, Qin Jin-nian would also be quite exhausted.

And if the other party knew the characteristics of his superpowers and then fought… then his pressure would probably be even greater.

Once he was close, there was even a possibility of GG.

And this Headmaster, from what we can see now, is just a nun of this so-called Church of the End… This is probably the lowest level of existence in the church.

It’s imaginable how strong the power of this Church of the End is. Qin Jin-nian, with his current strength, cannot be his opponent.

Fortunately, from the information obtained so far, at least in terms of safety, there is no problem in the short term.

“The end of the month, the Holy Church conference…”

It’s the beginning of the month now, and there are at least twenty days before the end of the month.

Qin Jin-nian furrowed his brow, and after a moment, he exhaled lightly.

Yesterday and today, in just two days, he seemed to have come into contact with a lot of things. There are also many things he doesn’t understand.

It seems that he has to figure these things out as soon as possible…

“Intelligence… Where can I get enough, high-quality intelligence?”

Qin Jin-nian gradually discovered the biggest shortcoming of a lone wolf.
