Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 39

Ch 39: Mother

The mobile phone, of course, belonged to the headmistress.

As for why his fingerprints could unlock it… of course, it was because he had added his own fingerprints to the phone.

The person who is now replying to the message is naturally the one suspected to be the superior of the headmistress, a member of the Church of the End…

Qin Jin-Nian didn’t know his name; the other party even used a nickname that was just a ‘-’ sign… just like a small account.

The headmistress’s death was uneventful, but now Qin Jin-Nian couldn’t let her death be noticed… at least not for now.

So, every day he could delay was a day.

The road permit was very important to Qin Jin-Nian… according to the headmistress, there seemed to be many black markets, and the headquarters of the Church of the End was in one of them. At the end of the month, the Church of the End would hold a conference, and the road permit the other party was sending now should be able to lead directly to the headquarters.

But since it was called a ‘black market’, that meant there was very likely not only the headquarters of the Church of the End, but also a ‘market’.

What the Church of the End was playing could very likely be the role of a host…

But that didn’t matter.

What Qin Jin-Nian lacked now was a path for information; as long as he came into contact with the black market, he would definitely be able to think of a way to get some information.

Of course, he couldn’t inquire about the Church of the End’s information in this black market… but inquiring about information from other black markets shouldn’t attract the Church of the End’s attention.

And after he used this black market as a springboard to obtain more black market information… he could go to other black markets to inquire about the Church of the End’s information.

Of course, the Church of the End might close the market on the day of the meeting… after all, it was a secret church gathering, and most likely the surveillance would be very strict that day.

But Qin Jin-Nian didn’t plan to go then either.

He planned to take action immediately after getting the road permit…

As for whether there would be any problems with the road permit itself, such as if he used it, the Church of the End would notice this… he thought the possibility was very low.

After all, from the current perspective, the headmistress’s status in the Church of the End wasn’t high; the other party gave her the road permit only because she had made a ‘great contribution’ this time… but there was really no need to pay too much attention to her personally.

So the road permit given to her was very likely just an ordinary, one-time road permit…

But the information from the other party yesterday indicated that someone would send the road permit today, but Qin Jin-Nian didn’t know where the other party would send the item.

According to the other party’s statement, it was possible that it would be sent directly to Sunshine Kindergarten… but Sunshine Kindergarten was so big, who knew in which corner the item would be placed? Qin Jin-Nian couldn’t openly and honestly search everywhere in broad daylight… after all, the only person currently confirmed to be a member of the Church of the End was that Teacher Wang.

Were there any other people? This was something no one knew.

So after thinking it over, Qin Jin-Nian couldn’t let him send the road permit to the kindergarten…

The headmistress’s home was very suitable.

He wasn’t sure if the other party knew where the headmistress lived. But according to common sense… the possibility of knowing was very high.

The control that this kind of church had over its subordinates, it seemed, shouldn’t be weak. For a member like the headmistress, who wasn’t high in status but had a certain presence, some basic information should still be available.

So Qin Jin-Nian took a gamble and had the other party send the road permit directly to her home, and directly stated that he had changed the fingerprint lock password before leaving…

The other party indeed knew.

Now, the road permit just needed to be waited for…

Qin Jin-Nian exhaled lightly, put away his phone, and got up to walk outside.

The road permit was temporarily taken care of, so next, he had to take care of Teacher Wang.

But Teacher Wang couldn’t be killed for the time being, because Qin Jin-Nian still needed her to stabilize the police on the surface…

Otherwise, as the teacher and leader of the kindergarten, the child disappeared yesterday, and as a result, the two of them also disappeared today?

This wasn’t clearly telling the police that there was a big problem here?

And once the police’s attention increased, then the Church of the End would inevitably be alarmed.

◈◈◈

Qin Jin-Nian’s plan would also be directly ruined.

So, he needed Teacher Wang, at least today, to first restrain the police’s attention.

As for the Church of the End, he didn’t think they would notice anything in a short amount of time… from the conversation between the headmistress and Teacher Wang yesterday, it couldn’t be heard that although Teacher Wang was also a member, she should be one level lower than the headmistress in the Church of the End.

At the very least, she shouldn’t have a direct channel to communicate with the Church of the End… so she needed the headmistress to convey the news about the Holy Seed to her.

However, to stabilize Teacher Wang, he still needed someone to cooperate…

After going over the plan in his mind, Qin Jin-Nian went out the door, and then came to the next door, knocking on the door.

“Who is it?”

A moment later, Lin Yun’s somewhat weak voice came from inside.

“It’s me, Sister Yun.”

“Xiao Nian… wait a moment.”

Not long after, the door opened.

And when the door opened, Qin Jin-Nian was stunned for a moment… and then his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Just one night apart, Lin Yun seemed to have aged several years… her face was haggard, her eye sockets were sunken, and she had thick dark circles.

Seeing Qin Jin-Nian, a forced smile appeared on her face: “Xiao Nian, what’s wrong?”

Qin Jin-Nian was silent for a moment, and then sighed lightly: “Sister Yun, I told you yesterday, Ningning’s matter, it can’t be rushed, but she will definitely be found. You, first of all, can’t give up hope yourself, otherwise, if Ningning comes back, but you collapse, what will Ningning do?”

Mentioning Ningning, Lin Yun’s whole body trembled, and then tears still couldn’t be held back, dripping down, her pale face showing a strong sense of exhaustion, murmuring: “I know, I know… but, but… but I can’t do it. Thinking of Ningning now, she is very likely already in an accident, she might be lying on the cold ground and calling for mom, I, I…”

At the end of her words, she covered her face, and helplessly sat on the ground, her whole body trembling, and she sobbed softly, suppressed.

In this sobbing, a strong sense of despair permeated.

Seeing this situation, Qin Jin-Nian’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, and then he knew that he was somewhat presumptuous.

As an observer, although he liked Ningning very much, he wasn’t a blood relative after all, and could still remain calm.

But for Lin Yun, Ningning was everything to her… to make a mother not worry about her only child… wasn’t this forcing someone to do something difficult?

How many mothers in the previous life who lost their children, after a few days, went crazy and became stupid? Didn’t they know that their worry was actually of no help?

But if this kind of emotion could be controlled, then it wouldn’t be emotion.

Qin Jin-Nian was silent for a moment, looking at the helpless and despairing Lin Yun on the ground, and finally exhaled lightly.

“Sister Yun.”

Qin Jin-Nian spoke, and Lin Yun helplessly raised her head, her eyes already red and swollen from crying, her gaze filled with bewilderment.

“Come inside first, there’s something I want to tell you… about Ningning’s clues.”

Qin Jin-Nian’s words made Lin Yun’s eyes widen suddenly, she immediately got up, and immediately tightly grabbed Qin Jin-Nian’s hand, her voice trembling: “Xiao Nian, you, are you telling the truth? You, you can’t lie to me about this, you can’t… “

“Don’t worry, come inside first, I’ll tell you slowly.” Qin Jin-Nian gently patted Lin Yun’s hand, and comforted her softly.

Lin Yun nodded hurriedly, made way for Qin Jin-Nian to enter the house, and then looked at Qin Jin-Nian with a look of anticipation and anxiety: “Xiao Nian…”

Qin Jin-Nian paused for a moment, and then exhaled lightly, looking at Lin Yun and directly said: “I probably know where Ningning is now.”

Just the first sentence made Lin Yun’s eyes widen suddenly.
