Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 50

Ch 50: Pros and Cons

For the past two days, in his search for the black market, Qin Jin-nian felt, to be honest, like he was at a loss for how to begin.

The biggest reason for this was… he was a lone wolf, severely lacking in intelligence support.

He was completely in a state of not fully understanding anything about the extraordinary world.

He didn’t even know where to start, and he didn’t even have a place to seek advice.

He could only grope around on his own…

To be honest, he was wasting a lot of time, and he even felt a sense of being overwhelmed with a thousand things to do but not knowing where to start.

Speaking of which, it seemed like there was a path that had always been in front of him, and it looked like a smooth road…

That was to expose his identity as an esper.

As long as he went to the school, reported his awakened superpower, then he could not only gain a wave of shock, but might also receive the attention of the school and even the country…

In this way, he could easily step into the extraordinary world and obtain a large amount of information and resources…

It seemed that all his current troubles would be solved immediately.

But whenever this thought emerged in his mind, a strong resistance would surge from the bottom of Qin Jin-nian’s heart.

He resisted exposing himself nakedly under the gaze of the public.

Qin Jin-nian had previously analyzed the origin of this resistance, and ultimately believed that it was still caused by ‘insufficient power’.

The simplest question… if his identity as an esper was exposed, not only would it attract attention, but also malice…

Did he have any countermeasures?

Forgive his caution, which was almost timid, as if some people exposed their superpowers and were fine, but when it came to him, all sorts of things would come out?

The key was, others had superpowers, and exposing them only had benefits, no harm… or rather, the pros outweighed the cons!

The country’s cultivation, all kinds of resources and techniques, would all be delivered to his doorstep.

If there was any danger, they would also be willing to accept it.

So of course, they were willing to expose themselves.

Not only would they expose themselves, but they would also publicize it widely to ensure the country’s attention!

But what about Qin Jin-nian?

He had the panel backing him, and he had already taken control of three authorities.

‘Dark Eyes’ allowed him to be immune to the mental pollution of the dark world.

‘Shadow Control’ gave him a foothold in this dangerous world.

‘Shadow Devour’ even allowed him to grow from a weakling to this point in just a few days…

Not to mention, there were more unlocked authorities in the panel waiting for him to explore…

Without being polite, he had already mastered one of the most top-tier powers in this world!

Although this power was only in a seed state now, needing time to sprout and grow…

But the foundation was already there!

In this situation, before he had grown up, would exposing his identity as an esper and entering the public eye… still have more pros than cons?

He already had the foundation, and what he lacked now was only resources.

And where were there no resources? Did he have to expose himself? It was nothing more than that it would be easier to get them from the country, and it would be more troublesome to find them himself.

But look at the reward list in the black market, how many people with official backgrounds were being hunted? Was it useful to have the backing of the country? Didn’t people still want your life?

And because of your official identity, your personal information was simply transparent in the eyes of others… they wouldn’t kill you, just because you had enough power to not be killed.

And then look at the evil and chaotic camp?

Not only were there fewer people being hunted, but the vast majority of the notes were ‘identity unknown’… In other words, even if someone wanted to take the reward, they couldn’t find the person.

Who lived a more easy and carefree life?

Anyway, Qin Jin-nian was more inclined towards the latter.

Maybe one day he would also yearn for the feeling of being in the spotlight… that premise would definitely be when he felt that his power was enough.

Anyway, for now, Qin Jin-nian was only willing to keep a low profile.

To do some things in secret when he could…

Even if it made him feel a little bit like he was walking on thin ice because of the lack of resources and information.

But, he was steady.

Therefore, this proposal from the Faceless Man really made Qin Jin-nian a little tempted… He really knew very little about the intelligence on the black market right now. Not to mention anything else, just the ‘Wanjin Pavilion’s’ door, he didn’t know how to open it. If no one guided him, it would be another hassle to investigate himself.

◈◈◈

Not to mention there were other things.

And as a veteran of the black market, the Faceless Man’s understanding of the black market was definitely far beyond Qin Jin-nian’s… If he could obtain the information in his hands, it would indeed be a good thing for Qin Jin-nian.

But to let him go?

Qin Jin-nian’s eyes, hidden in the dark shadows, flickered slightly, he looked at the corpses around, and then at the unfortunate guy who was robbed by them and then had his head blown off with a single shot…

For a moment, he was really a little hesitant.

The long silence made the Faceless Man’s heart sink more and more, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more urgent. At a certain moment, he realized that he was going to die if this continued.

Because the other party still hadn’t answered until now, he was definitely hesitating, and the longer he hesitated, the more dangerous he was…

Nothing else, the other party’s hesitation at his words meant that the other party was a little tempted. But the longer the hesitation, it meant that the momentary temptation was suppressed by the other party, and then he was weighing the pros and cons!

But in all likelihood, after some weighing, the initial thought would take the upper hand.

And once the initial thought took the upper hand, then he…

Thinking of this, the face under the Faceless Man’s mask gritted its teeth, he knew that he had to do something… to make this big shot’s hesitation completely lean towards letting him go!

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, and suddenly reached out to remove the mask on his face.

As he moved, the shadow almost moved instantly, and the Faceless Man hurriedly shouted, “Big shot, don’t do anything, I, I have no other intentions, I took off the mask to reassure you…”

“Big shot, my name is Liu An, I’m a local of Canglan City, and I run a small company here. If you’re not at ease, you can go with me to check. I’m just saying these things to reassure you, I didn’t deliberately say those words just now to deceive you in order to escape. Now that you know my identity, if you feel that I’ve done something wrong in the future, you can take my life at any time!”

The Faceless Man… Liu An said in a loud and urgent voice.

The shadow beside him, sure enough, paused slightly, and didn’t take any further action.

Liu An looked to be about forty years old, and he looked somewhat rough, with a full beard. But at this moment, cold sweat was streaming down his forehead, and his face was also somewhat pale, looking a bit embarrassed.

After a moment…

“I really underestimated you… Your head, for now, remains on your neck.”

Qin Jin-nian was a little helpless.

He could tell that this Liu An was really not an ordinary person… From realizing the danger, to later abandoning the gun and offering benefits to save his life… With this series of operations, he really found a way to break the situation…

Because he really dispelled Qin Jin-nian’s killing intent.

You must know that Qin Jin-nian had been determined to kill from the beginning.

The reason he was a few steps behind in killing Liu An was only because he wanted to inquire about some information first.

But before he could speak, Liu An, through his own series of performances, actually made him dispel the thought of killing him…

At least, for now, he had dispelled it.

“However, a character like this is indeed what I need right now… As for the robbery… “

Qin Jin-nian looked at the unfortunate guy in the distance, and finally shook his head.

He was not a policeman after all. Although he sympathized with the other party, Liu An was very useful to him now.

And Liu An, who had received these words from Qin Jin-nian, immediately sat on the ground, his legs trembling, and his face was wearing a smile that was more difficult to look at than crying: “Thank, thank you, big shot…”

“Take a look at this thing, do you recognize it?”

Just as Liu An was still celebrating that he was alive, a dark tentacle appeared beside him, and there was something on the tentacle.

He was slightly stunned, and subconsciously took it to look, and the next moment, he was stunned, and then almost incredulously exclaimed: “Eternal Road Permit? This is… Night Raven? Night Blood Red Clothes? Night Raven’s Night Blood Certificate?! Big shot, you…”

He looked in the direction of Qin Jin-nian’s voice with extreme horror…
