Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 55

Ch 55: Shock

While the two were still stunned, guessing what the so-called ‘benefits’ would be, the shadow tentacles that had been wrapping around Zhou Yuan slowly retracted.

Losing support abruptly caused Zhou Yuan’s body to stagger slightly before he covered his right hand with a grimace… He had been holding the gun with his right hand, and the bones were directly crushed by Qin Jin-Nian’s shadow tentacles.

They were too nervous just now, so they didn’t feel much. But now, after relaxing, the pain came.

This Zhou Yuan was also a ruthless person; even though his forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, he didn’t even grunt.

Qin Jin-Nian glanced at him and thought for a moment before saying, “Consider it a small punishment and a big warning. You shot me before, and I’m disabling one of your arms… You shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

“No objections, no objections… It’s what I deserve.”

Zhou Yuan shook his head like a rattle drum, repeatedly smiling apologetically.

“…But the injury needs to be treated. Is there a place in the black market to treat injuries?”

“Yes, yes, I know someone. After the big boss is done with his business here, I’ll go and get it treated myself.”

Hearing Zhou Yuan say this, Qin Jin-Nian nodded and didn’t say anything more.

After a pause, he then said, “This is my first time in the black market, and I really don’t know much about it. You two have been in the black market for many years, so you must know everything about it. Now, tell me about it.”

Liu An quickly responded and then cautiously asked, “What information does the big boss want to know?”

“Everything, everything. Anything about the black market… Or not just the black market, the Night Watch, the Night Blood, the End, the Wanjin Pavilion… everything, whatever you know, I’m very interested.”

Qin Jin-Nian was still hidden in the darkness, with no intention of showing himself.

But the words spoken made Liu An and Zhou Yuan’s hearts jump…

The black market, the Night Watch, the Wanjin Pavilion, those were all fine.

But the Night Blood and the End…

Made their hearts feel a little cold.

Especially Liu An.

He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva…

Unlike Zhou Yuan, he knew clearly that their big boss had that Night Blood certificate worth 700 million! And from the current situation, the possibility of the other person being the Night Blood Red Robe was almost zero.

In other words… that Night Blood Red Robe, most likely, had already been…

Thinking of this, his heart trembled.

Could it be that this one… was here for the Night Blood?

Thinking of this possibility, Liu An couldn’t help but tremble…

That was the Evil Church!

He had often heard of their secretive and ruthless methods! He was just a small character wandering on the edge of the black market, and he had always kept his distance from such existences! And now, if this big boss was really going to confront the Night Blood, as his vanguard, then he…

Thinking of this possibility, his head was spinning, and his vision was a little blurry.

But, the strong are bound to be stronger. Now, the knife is on the chopping block, and we are the fish… we can only take it one step at a time.

He thought in his heart.

“Well, this is a rather complicated story…”

“There’s plenty of time, I’m not in a hurry, take your time.”

Qin Jin-Nian came to the black market this time to gather information. Now, with two people who were like ‘black market experts’ right in front of him, the mission was already considered overfulfilled. What more could he ask for? And hearing Qin Jin-Nian say this, the two didn’t dare to say much, and after thinking for a moment, they began to tell the story.

What they said was basically some common knowledge about the black market.

But this common knowledge was indeed something Qin Jin-Nian didn’t know…

Time passed quietly.

They talked for several hours.

Most of the time, Qin Jin-Nian was listening. Only at key moments did he ask a few questions.

And the two, Liu and Zhou, did indeed know a lot about the black market. Qin Jin-Nian’s questions could basically be answered by them… Even for some questions, Liu and Zhou weren’t very clear… but they could basically provide some rumors or gossip-like answers.

Qin Jin-Nian was very satisfied.

Unknowingly, the sky had gradually brightened.

And Liu and Zhou, for the first time, saw Qin Jin-Nian’s figure a little more clearly…

◈◈◈

But in their eyes, what they saw was not Qin Jin-Nian wearing black clothes and a mask… but a figure shrouded in a pitch-black mist.

His entire body was wrapped in a pitch-black substance, that pitch-black substance was like mist but not mist, and it seemed to have substance, only vaguely distinguishing the human form within.

And this made their hearts tremble…

This big boss, has he been in this posture since last night?

Hiss…

When they realized this, the two simultaneously gasped.

What level of existence is this big boss, exactly?

You know, they had also come into contact with some Espers, although they had only seen them from afar… but they still knew some common knowledge about Espers.

Espers have Esper cores in their bodies, which store a large amount of spiritual energy. Using Espers will consume the spiritual energy within. The higher the rank, the stronger the spiritual energy, and the longer the duration of the Esper…

But like the one in front of them, using Espers for more than four or five hours, completely externalizing the Esper as a normal state…

It was truly unheard of!

Liu and Zhou’s hearts were greatly shocked, and after glancing at each other, they both saw the shock in each other’s eyes!

This was a real big boss!

Then, the two couldn’t help but think of the words the big boss had said before…

Even if you go abroad, it won’t work?

Now it seems… the other party, most likely, wasn’t trying to scare people!

This terrifying existence, whose level couldn’t be guessed…

Who knows what terrifying methods he has?!

The two were completely shocked, their throats were dry and they kept swallowing saliva, and they couldn’t help but occasionally steal a glance at Qin Jin-Nian…

And the frequent gazes of the two naturally didn’t escape Qin Jin-Nian’s eyes. When he realized that the sky was already a little bright, Qin Jin-Nian knew that if he continued, his figure would become more and more obvious.

He didn’t plan to really show his face to these two… even with a mask on.

He needed to create a relatively mysterious persona… to better control these two cunning villains.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had gained enough today, enough to support him in making the next step of the plan, and immediately stood up and calmly said, “Let’s stop here today.”

“Ah, is the big boss leaving?”

Liu and Zhou quickly stood up.

“Yes, you two leave me a way to contact you. I may need to be busy with some things these two days… when I need you, I’ll contact you.”

Speaking of which, he paused slightly, and then said in a half-smiling tone, “Of course, you can also leave a fake contact method, and then escape with your whole family after leaving today… see if I can find you.”

But now that they had witnessed the terrifying fact that this big boss ‘maintained the Esper form as a normal state’, how could Liu and Zhou dare to have any doubts?

Immediately, their two heads became like rattle drums, “Big boss, you’re joking. Since we’ve already decided to follow you, how could we do such a two-faced, fickle thing? Big boss, don’t worry, I’ll be waiting outside these two days, waiting for your orders twenty-four hours a day!”

“That’s right, that’s right!” Zhou Yuan also nodded repeatedly, his face a little pale.

It looked like he was quite frightened.

He should have been intimidated…

Qin Jin-Nian thought in his heart, and nodded without changing his expression, “That’s best.”

The two repeatedly expressed their fear, and then respectively reported their phone numbers.

Qin Jin-Nian’s mental strength was over a hundred, and now his memory could be said to be photographic. After easily memorizing the two’s numbers, he nodded and waved his hand, “Alright, you can go. Don’t tell anyone else about my business.”

Go?

Liu and Zhou both froze for a moment, and then realized, “Ah, yes, big boss, don’t worry, we’re not gossips!”

After repeatedly guaranteeing that they wouldn’t tell anyone about Qin Jin-Nian, the two, in trepidation, prepared to leave.

“Wait.”

But they had only walked a few steps when Qin Jin-Nian’s voice suddenly rang out.

The two were startled, and quickly looked at him.

“Did you forget something?”

Qin Jin-Nian said with a half-smile, “You bought your lives… but the money hasn’t been paid yet.”
