His brows were furrowed.

He held a non-branded tea bag in his hand, but the tea in his hand couldn't make him feel happy.

He got into the car with a slightly gloomy expression, and then recalled the scene in the office before.

When he confirmed again that it was a newly awakened student who did the empowerment, Song Zhe's reaction was as shocked as he expected.

Then he immediately asked the student's name.

But he didn't expect that after he said the name "Qin Jinnian", the other party's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he actually asked Qin Jinnian again in a serious manner... whether he was from Class 23 of Senior 3.

How smart was the old man? He immediately realized that there might be something he didn't know, and immediately frowned and asked.

After hesitating for a while, Song Zhe told him the whole story.

Then, the old man understood everything...

'Zhang San'.

This person has become an internet celebrity recently, and even he has heard of his name... He actually has a special relationship with Qin Jinnian.

In fact, Qin Jinnian was the only person who could contact "Zhang San" on the surface! This was unusual.

The seventh-level superpower...

Although the old man was knowledgeable, he had to admit that even in a place like the shallow layer of the abyss, he was still a mainstay.

In today's rear area, this kind of person is definitely capable of taking charge of a region!

Qin Jinnian actually knew such an existence?

Of course, the key point is not that Qin Jinnian knows a superpowered person, but that he is the only contact person of the other party.

Even more likely, there is a huge supernatural organization behind the superpower named "Zhang San"...

This makes things complicated.

He learned from Song Zhe that the night watchman had been secretly observing Qin Jinnian's situation.

"You must have heard about the incident at Qinghe Lake. It was indeed the Night Watchman who asked 'Zhang San' to do it. But the situation was very complicated. First of all, the ability used by the big fish was exactly the same as Zhang San's. It was impossible not to pay attention to it. And that day, Director Qin and Song Lie went to Ruins No. 7. They had no choice but to 'commission' that 'Zhang San'..."

"But this does not mean that the night watchman is completely confident in 'Zhang San'."

"Especially Director Jiang, who has always believed that the weird thing that happened that day was related to 'Zhang San'... but there is no evidence, and 'Zhang San's ability is indeed too strange. Even if Director Qin takes action, he may not be sure to capture him. That's why he has been keeping it secret... He can only hold his nose and endorse him. In fact, he has been secretly collecting information about 'Zhang San' and the organization he mentioned..."

"Have you collected it?" the old man asked at that time.

"That's the crux of the matter... there's no intelligence at all."

Song Zhe shook his head: "This 'Zhang San' seems to have suddenly appeared out of thin air... His ability is so strange that if he had appeared before, even many years ago, as long as he used it, he would definitely leave traces... As long as he was in Daxia, he would definitely not be able to hide it from others. But we checked the data over the past few hundred years and did not find anyone with similar abilities. So, Director Jiang suspected..."

Before Song Zhe finished speaking, the old man continued with a serious expression: "He came from the abyss?"

"This possibility is very high. Whenever the other party appears, he will cover his tracks with black substances and not reveal his face... This mysterious behavior is indeed suspicious."

"Didn't you just say that he once reported to you about the headquarters of the Church of the End, and even destroyed a disaster caused by the advent of the true god? How come..."

"The Abyss is not harmonious. Maybe he is the mortal enemy of the End?"

"So what are you Night Watchmen going to do now?"

"There is no way to deal with it now. We have reported it to the headquarters, but they have not yet issued any solution... I guess they are also investigating."

"So, Qin Jinnian... is most likely the... priest selected by this mysterious abyss race?"

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a sacrifice... If 'Zhang San' really came from the abyss, and there has never been anyone on Earth with his abilities, then he is most likely a race that has just discovered Earth... Then that Qin Jinnian... is most likely the 'Pope' who has not yet grown up."

The old man immediately took a breath of cold air...

pope.

The pope of the evil church? He had once had the honor of seeing one of them... He could only say that it was a terrifying existence that he could not imagine.

Qin Jinnian? Will he be the new Pope of the Abyss Church? He couldn't help but think back to the Qin Jinnian he saw today... He gave him the impression of being thin, polite, graceful, and well-mannered.

During the three-hour conversation, he did not feel that the other party was just a senior high school student. Instead, he felt more like a mature and peaceful adult.

Such a person...

He thought carefully about the Pope of the Church of the Abyss whom he had met before.

Then I inexplicably discovered... there seemed to be some similarities between the two? Both of them looked mature and peaceful! If the Pope hadn't taken the initiative to expose his crazy side, it would have destroyed their huge layout in the shallow layer of the abyss, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of humans...

I'm afraid no one will realize that he is such a dangerous existence!

Qin Jinnian’s true nature…is that also the case?

The old man felt heavy in his heart.

Finally, he asked Song Zhe, what should we do now? Song Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "For now, we, the Night Watchmen, do not trust Zhang San. But Zhang San has not done anything dangerous yet... At least, he has not done anything that there is clear evidence for."

"The opinion from headquarters has not yet arrived, so our attitude is 'wait and see'."

"Since Qin Jinnian has revealed that he has super powers... no matter if it was Zhang San's instruction or his own idea, the procedures must be followed. The benefits should also be given. But... Mr. Wang, you have to keep an eye on him for us... Qin Jinnian is very wary of us night watchmen. I guess this is also Zhang San's instruction. So..."

The old man understood what Song Zhe meant. This meant that he should monitor Qin Jinnian to the best of his ability.

But after the old man was silent for a long time, he finally asked with a sigh, "Is there anything special about Qin Jinnian's life?"

"If there is, it was probably because of the blood moon night when his mother was pregnant with him. She was unlucky and there was something strange nearby, so he was contaminated by the abyss in the womb, which led to congenital deficiencies and weakness since childhood... As for the rest, I checked many times and didn't find anything strange."

"Is that so... I understand. I will keep an eye on him. But... Qin Jinnian is my student after all. Unless you get solid evidence, you must give him the benefits he deserves. You can't destroy him because of unfounded suspicion."

The old man was silent for a long time and then said this.

Song Zhe was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he nodded gently and said: "Of course, all of this is just speculation at the moment, and it is mainly aimed at that 'Zhang San', not Qin Jinnian..."

He sighed, his eyes flickering, "I was wondering before why 'Zhang San' chose Qin Jinnian as the only contact person. Now it seems that 'Zhang San' may have seen that Qin Jinnian has the potential to awaken super powers... This makes it even more suspicious."

"After all, at least for now, we humans have not yet mastered the means to see if someone has superpowers. If 'Zhang San' had already seen that Qin Jinnian had the possibility of awakening superpowers, then..."

Song Zhe didn't finish his words, but he made them very clear.

Then the possibility that 'Zhang San' is a member of the abyss race is even greater.

Then the old man left the Night's Watch headquarters with a heavy heart.

It was not easy to find a super power seed, and its ability was an extremely popular empowerment super power, and its stability and effect were so outstanding...

Could it really be the 'Pope' who has not yet grown up? His heart was heavy and his eyes flickered.

Suddenly he said, "Let's go to Peach Blossom Spring."

The driver responded, and the car turned and headed for the "Peach Blossom Spring"...

…

…

Of course, Qin Jinnian didn't know about the conversation between the old man and the night watchman.

If you knew, you would be stunned instantly...

He would never have thought that... because the superpowers were too special and 'Zhang San' was too mysterious, the Night Watch would identify 'Zhang San' as a member of the 'Abyss Race'.

And he himself was targeted as the future 'Pope' of a certain Abyss Church...

Fortunately, he didn't know.

No. 5 Middle School, cafeteria on the second floor.

"I'm full, I can't eat anymore..."

Zhou Shiqing, with a dry mouth, told Qin Jinnian a lot of nonsense. After she finished, she finally felt hungry.

result……

This beautiful teacher ate too much.

The cooking skills of the chef on the second floor are quite good. We ordered a lot just now. Zhou Shiqing usually controls her food intake consciously... She knows that she is actually a bit of a foodie. Once she is starving, it is difficult for her to control her eating, so she tries not to let herself get too hungry.

No, it depends on hard self-discipline!

But today she was too hungry and didn't eat breakfast. After that, she was busy giving instructions to Qin Jinnian. When she came to her senses, she was so hungry that she ate...

The results show that…

She is indeed a foodie.

Seeing that Zhou Shiqing was so stretched that she could only half lie and half sit, with an uncomfortable expression on her face, Qin Jinnian burst out laughing.

"How dare you laugh? If it weren't for you, I would have eaten too much." Zhou Shiqing scolded angrily. Students without conscience are the most annoying! "Yeah... I reminded you three or four times not to eat too fast, but who rolled your eyes at me and said, don't worry, you don't have to pay, can't I eat by myself?"

“…”

Zhou Shiqing's pretty face turned slightly red and her teeth were clenched.

Students who are too picky are even more annoying! Seeing Zhou Shiqing gritting her teeth, Qin Jinnian was overjoyed. He sighed in his heart. He had never expected that the head teacher who usually looked so generous would have such a temper behind the scenes...

In fact, Zhou Shiqing's state in front of students is indeed very different from now.

After all, she is a teacher in front of students, so she has to pretend a little.

But facing Qin Jinnian... although she is still a teacher, the other party is a super-powered person!

This immediately equalized the identities of the two.

Especially after seeing the other person's magical superpowers, she couldn't help her curiosity and did strange things in front of him (poking the ground with a pen), which immediately threw away the teacher's filter and she simply stopped being pretentious.

This annoying student made her lose face, and Zhou Shiqing was also giving up. She simply ignored him and took out her phone to check it. After a moment, she said with a strange expression: "The fact that you became a superpower... all the classmates in the class know about it."

"Well, what next?" Qin Jinnian asked with a smile.

"So, are you a little excited now? After all, you used to be the last in the class and had no sense of existence in the class. Now you have become a superpower, which is exactly like the super cool plot of the useless protagonist in anime and novels who rises to fame overnight... Aren't you excited?"

Zhou Shiqing looked curious and her big eyes were bright.

...Not only is he a foodie, but he's also a second-dimensional person?

Qin Jinnian summed it up in his mind, stroked his chin and thought for a while before smiling: "You are still a little excited, right?"

"Huh, such a bland reaction?"

"I said I was excited...what else can I do?"

"...It seems that it really can't be a big deal... Strange, why do I feel so good every time I see a similar plot?"

"…Maybe because you can't do it?"

"? I'll give you another chance to reorganize your words!"

"……I was wrong."

"snort."

After chatting with Zhou Shiqing like a friend for a while, Zhou Shiqing seemed to have digested the food. After a long breath, she said, "Well, now you are a member of the super class, but you are also a member of Class 23... The super class has no tutors and is directly linked to the principal, so if you have any problems in the future, you can tell me directly."

"By the way, how much mental strength do you have now? When can you make your first super-energy core upgrade? I'll ask the principal to prepare the promotion materials for you."

Zhou Shiqing asked curiously.

Qin Jinnian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have an elder who is a superpower... He has helped me upgrade my superpower core once before. So I am now a second-level superpower."

"Huh? You have a superpowered elder? And you are already a second-level superpowered one now?"

Zhou Shiqing, who had no idea about this, was shocked.

"Yeah... I guess he'll know when he comes back from Night Watch." Qin Jinnian smiled bitterly, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "My elder is quite famous..."

"Who is who?"

Zhou Shiqing's gossip fire immediately ignited.

Qin Jinnian seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said: "I'll tell you, but don't spread it to anyone else..."

"Uh-huh!"

"It's the popular name on the Internet these days... 'Zhang San'."

"Zhang San?!"

Zhou Shiqing was speechless and her eyes widened. "Is he the one who suddenly became an Internet celebrity some time ago, possessing an unpredictable super-cool superpower, and who also suppressed a super-terrifying and weird... rank seven superpower boss in the Qinghe Lake incident a few days ago?!"

There were other people eating in the cafeteria, and Zhou Shiqing's sudden exclamation attracted everyone's curious gazes.

Zhou Shiqing came back to her senses immediately and quickly covered her mouth. She waved her hands to apologize to the others. Then, when everyone turned their heads back, she lowered her voice and approached Qin Jinnian: "Is Zhang San really your elder? What kind of elder? What's his real name? Is he handsome? What kind of superpower does he use? Is it really a newly discovered S-level superpower?"

It is confirmed that the older girl is addicted to the internet.

This guy asked the most popular questions on the Internet...

"I call him Big Brother...but as for the rest, I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

Qin Jinnian shrugged.

"Please, please, I really like his super powers, he's so handsome! Just tell me, I'm very tight-lipped and won't tell anyone else. Okay... Okay..."

How could Zhou Shiqing be satisfied? She immediately begged in a low voice.

In the end, it even seemed a bit like acting like a spoiled child.

This time they were a little closer, Qin Jinnian could even smell the faint fragrance from the other person.

After touching his nose, Qin Jinnian remained unmoved and shrugged, saying, "What a coincidence! I'm very tight-lipped. I promised Brother Zhang not to tell anyone."

Then no matter what Zhou Shiqing said, it was useless.

In the end, Zhou Shiqing was furious.

Stingy students... so annoying! "I won't tell you, humph... But I have to tell the principal about this, so that he won't prepare the first advanced materials for you... Oh, it's so annoying, I wish I had super powers..."

Zhou Shiqing muttered to herself, and finally took out her cell phone and called the principal.

When the principal answered the phone, his voice was a little low, but when he heard that Qin Jinnian was already a second-level superpower, his voice suddenly became excited: "Really? He is really a second-level superpower? Did he tell you?"

"Uh, yeah. What's wrong?"

"It's okay... okay, I got it. I'll hang up now."

After saying this, the old man who was still in the car said directly: "Return to the Night's Watch headquarters."

Qin Jinnian is already at level two, so the strong evidence that Zhang San might be a member of the Abyss race has simply disappeared.

Because it is very likely that "Zhang San" discovered that Qin Jinnian was a super-powered person when the other party just awakened, so he treated him with favor.

Although this point cannot completely determine that 'Zhang San' is not a member of the Abyss race... but at least, he did not assume that the other party would awaken when the other party has not yet awakened... At least it shows that there is still a possibility that he is human.

The old man didn't know why he wanted to prove so much that 'Zhang San' was not from the abyss race...but his first reaction was to go back to the Night Watch and tell Song Zhe this.

As long as Zhang San is not a member of the Abyss race, then Qin Jinnian is most likely not the Pope...

This is what he cares about.

The old man's reaction also made Zhou Shiqing and Qin Jinnian, who heard his voice nearby, a little stunned.

"What's wrong with the old man?" Zhou Shiqing looked confused.

Qin Jinnian didn't know either, so he shrugged and said, "Okay, it's almost time for today. I have to go home and tell my parents about this... They don't know about it yet."

"Eh? You haven't told your parents about such a big thing as awakening super powers?"

"Yes, that's what Brother Zhang said... He told me not to reveal that I'm a superpower. But for some reason, he asked me to come to school and confess yesterday... I don't know what he was thinking..."

Qin Jinnian's face showed a look of confusion and distress.

Zhou Shiqing next to him looked confused...
