Ch 56: The Truth About the Road Permit?
Qin Jin-Nian’s pockets were cleaner than his face right now, and he was really looking forward to their pay for risking their lives.
“Ah, Big Boss, it’s not that we forgot, but when we’re out doing this kind of work, where would we carry any money… We’ll have to go get it.”
Liu An and Zhou Yuan immediately looked at Qin Jin-Nian innocently.
Qin Jin-Nian had just told them to leave, and they had been a little excited… They were thinking, could it be that the Superpower Big Boss didn’t care about their little bit of money?
Unexpectedly, he still brought it up…
“Big Boss, you know, in our line of work… it’s completely a matter of licking blood off a blade. You never know when you’ll die, so how could we dare to carry so much money on us…”
Liu An said awkwardly.
“Where do you need to get it?”
Qin Jin-Nian frowned.
“Outside…”
“Me, me too.”
Zhou Yuan also quickly said awkwardly.
Qin Jin-Nian was speechless for a moment.
…So, these two guys were both using empty promises to buy their lives?
In a crisis, save their lives first and then worry about other things?
Qin Jin-Nian’s sudden silence made the two of them anxious. Liu An quickly said, “Big Boss, we’ll leave the black market now… Once we’re out of the black market, we can make a phone call, and I’ll have someone send the money over immediately!”
“Me too!”
Qin Jin-Nian remained silent, and finally, the two of them were so anxious that their foreheads were covered in sweat. Only then did he say faintly, “It’s best if it’s like that.”
Qin Jin-Nian’s words made the two of them shiver. Finally, Qin Jin-Nian spoke, “Then what are you waiting for?”
Liu An and Zhou Yuan both froze for a moment. Zhou Yuan said awkwardly, “This, to leave the black market, we also need a ticket. I don’t have a ticket on me… Faceless, do you have one?”
Liu An also quickly shook his head, but soon his expression changed, and he looked at Qin Jin-Nian.
Qin Jin-Nian thought for a moment, then said, “Ticket… can this thing be used?”
After saying that, a tentacle extended out and came in front of Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan was a little dazed at first, but when he saw the black card on the tentacle, he was stunned for a moment. A moment later, his eyes suddenly widened…
“Eternal Road Permit?!”
Indeed, it was.
Liu An was prepared, after all, he knew that Qin Jin-Nian had an Eternal Road Permit on him.
But because this thing was also the Night Raven’s Night Blood Certificate, it was really special… He didn’t dare to rashly ask the Big Boss to use it. But he didn’t expect him to take it out himself.
“What are you staring at? Take it.”
Qin Jin-Nian spoke.
Only then did Zhou Yuan come back to his senses from the shock, and he quickly fumbled to take the black card, and then his expression was a little dazed…
This was an Eternal Road Permit!
He never expected that he, Zhou Yuan, would one day be able to get his hands on such a high-end item?
Subconsciously, he took a look, and immediately saw the words ‘Night Raven’ on it.
Immediately, his whole body stiffened, and he exclaimed again, “Night Raven? This, this is the Night Blood Certificate of the Night Blood Red Robes?!”
It was exactly the same as Liu An’s reaction at the time.
Qin Jin-Nian, however, ignored his shock and instead asked faintly, “Can this thing be used?”
Zhou Yuan was already a little dizzy from the shock, but when he heard Qin Jin-Nian’s voice and saw Liu An’s calm expression at this moment, he also forced himself to calm down.
This was an Eternal Road Permit, such a high-end item, he had never used it before…
His voice was a little nervous and trembling, “Big Boss, this, this thing I’ve only heard of before, I’ve never used it, so, I, I’m not too sure…”
“Then try it.”
Qin Jin-Nian’s calm reaction made Zhou Yuan’s heart tremble even more, and the other party’s status in his heart became more and more mysterious and unfathomable…
“Then, I’ll try!”
After saying this, he took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the card.
Qin Jin-Nian was also observing.
When the spiritual energy was infused into the card, he found that the originally thin black mist on the card suddenly became dense in an instant.
It was as if a valve had been opened, and it gushed out all at once.
And Zhou Yuan, his whole body trembled… Qin Jin-Nian saw that a part of the black mist directly enveloped Zhou Yuan, and a part even surged into his body.
◈◈◈
Only a moment later…
Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up: “It really works… Over there… the road is over there…”
Qin Jin-Nian immediately discovered that the direction he was pointing was exactly the direction the black mist in the card was extending.
“What kind of road?” Qin Jin-Nian suddenly asked.
Zhou Yuan was stunned instead: “It’s the road leading to the black market entrance… a guiding light emitting white light…”
Looking at Zhou Yuan’s expression, Qin Jin-Nian immediately understood… Using this Eternal Road Permit, the guidance they got seemed to be no different from the guidance they got from the one-time road permit.
Immediately, he didn’t say much, nodded, and said, “Then let’s go.”
At the moment, the three of them no longer lingered, and under Liu An’s guidance, they went towards the black market entrance.
During this process, Qin Jin-Nian had always been hidden in the darkness, while Zhou Yuan held the black card and led the way in front.
After more than half an hour, the sky was already about to brighten, and in front of Qin Jin-Nian, the boundary of that twisted world appeared again.
In the daytime, the black mist of that twisted world seemed to have become even denser.
And this time, because the sky was much brighter, Qin Jin-Nian also noticed something he hadn’t discovered before…
That was, on the edge of the twisted world, most of it was pitch black, as dense as ink.
But in some places, the color seemed to be much lighter, and Qin Jin-Nian could even vaguely see the scene behind the twisted world… Although it was a little blurry.
And the place Zhou Yuan was guided to was one of the very transparent places…
Could it be that the transparent place was the entrance and exit?
Qin Jin-Nian was thoughtfully watching.
The world was twisting, and the black mist within was constantly surging.
Sometimes, some places were transparent, but in the surging, they slowly turned pitch black…
If we say that the ‘transparent’ place was the entrance and exit.
Then the black market entrance was not fixed… could be explained.
Because the edge of the world inside here was active…
But, what was the pitch-black place? What would happen if they went inside?
What did the fragments of the dark side world represent?
A large number of questions appeared in Qin Jin-Nian’s mind again.
But after thinking about it, he didn’t rashly try… Instead, he followed Zhou Yuan and came all the way to an extremely transparent place.
Qin Jin-Nian saw the dense mist in the Night Blood Certificate, constantly surging into that transparent place, as if wanting to fill it.
Suddenly, he was stunned again…
He seemed to have figured out why this road permit could find the black market entrance.
“Big Boss, we’re here.”
Zhou Yuan stopped at this moment and said.
Qin Jin-Nian looked up at the black mist swirling in the air, and then nodded: “Open it.”
“Okay.”
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, and spiritual energy surged into the card.
The next moment, a large amount of black mist suddenly gushed out from the card, directly hitting the ‘transparent’ area.
The impact formed at this moment caused that ‘transparent’ area to suddenly open up, revealing the situation outside.
“Okay, Big Boss.”
Zhou Yuan quickly spoke.
Qin Jin-Nian, at this moment, also completely understood the relationship between this so-called black market road permit and the portal.
“It can guide the way because this black mist is naturally attracted to this world, and it will search for the weakest ‘position’ to fill.”
“And it can open because the amount of black mist it mobilizes at once is enough, it will form an impact on the black mist that originally existed in it, and instead, it will make the originally weak area appear a blank area?”
“…It’s really a strange world.”
Qin Jin-Nian thought in his heart, and then he didn’t say much, and directly said, “Alright, let’s go out.”
The three of them immediately crossed the ‘exit’ and came to the ‘present world’…
