My profession is too unique.

Chapter 149 Corpse Delivered to the Door, the Mighty Teng Liang
"Yes." Su Chen nodded. "Wei Yinshuo seems to be dead, and Meng Qi's body has been taken away."

Teng Liang's expression was strange, and he was momentarily stunned. "Wei Yinshuo is dead?"

"I don't know the specifics of what Judge Lei said," Su Chen said, looking at his senior brother. "The chief told me to find Meng Qi."

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Teng Liang finally realized why he had come out, and frowned, saying, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Let's try it." Su Chen didn't mind and said, "I'm going to look up information about the Faceless Ghost. Want to come along, Senior Brother?"

"Let's go." Teng Liang said succinctly.

……

Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the courthouse, three figures gathered together, one of whom was Meng Qi, who had come back from the dead.

But at this moment, his face was ashen. "Another explosion occurred before ours, and it was very loud. The courtroom was sealed off in advance."

"What on earth happened?!"

He was furious. He had finally managed to persuade several other followers of the evil gods in Yingfeng to pull off a major operation that diverted most of the court's resources, creating an excellent situation.

As a result, a mysterious explosion trapped him here once again.

The other two couldn't answer his question, so Meng Qi took a deep breath and said, "You two, pretend for now and don't stay together. Delay it for as long as you can."

The two Faceless Ghost followers who were responsible for meeting him nodded and left.

"It's alright. As long as I get this body, I still have a chance. It won't be so easy for these people to find me." Meng Qi's eyes flickered, and his body gradually transformed into another person. He walked out with an air of nonchalance.

"Let's see what's going on first."

This disguise cannot fool the court's tests, but it is still very easy to fool the eyes.

He mingled among the judges and quickly learned some information.

"The medical ward was attacked, and Wei Yinshuo may be dead?" Meng Qi was stunned for a moment after receiving the news, but then he realized something.

"Someone took advantage of my stealing the corpse to sabotage things!" A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "I knew it! The other followers of the evil god wouldn't do things honestly. They deserve to die!"

.........

All the information related to the God of Ghosts in the Trial Court is locked on a separate server located deep within the Trial Court, isolated from the external network. Access to this information requires the consent of at least one of the presiding judges.

The silver-white building in front of us has no visible seams on its surface, as if it were cast as a whole. A row of dark blue flowing patterns is embedded on the surface, and the roof has a smooth dome structure. Ripples caused by the flow of energy can be vaguely seen on the surface.

It wasn't very tall, only about three meters, but it was guarded by several high-ranking judges. Chongjingtian had already given the order, so Su Chen could naturally go in, but Teng Liang was stopped outside.

"Sorry, only you are allowed to enter." The guard was expressionless; he was a fourth-tier professional.

"Junior brother, be careful." Teng Liang didn't mind, but only told Su Chen not to look for too long, and only to look at what he needed to see.

Su Chen stepped inside. The interior was simple; behind an alloy table, a floating mechanical head emitted a completely emotionless voice:

"Core seed Su Chen has been temporarily granted access to information and data related to the Faceless Ghost."

Su Chen asked him to list all the information about the Faceless Ghost and to check it one by one. He had been curious about these strange gods for far too long.

The information held by the court is undoubtedly the most comprehensive and extensive.

He flipped through the pages carefully, looking at them very closely.

"...The first recorded appearance of Faceless Demon followers was seven hundred years ago. The followers were characterized by their facelessness, their love of disguising themselves as others, blending into their lives, and using their guise to harvest desperate souls..."

"...It wasn't until about five hundred years ago that the Faceless Demons truly took notice, leading to the birth of the first priest..."

Upon seeing this, Su Chen was taken aback. What did this mean?
The appearance of the believers had nothing to do with the Faceless Demon.
He questioned the mechanical head in front of him, and the other party pulled up a file that recorded the common characteristics of all the strange gods.

"All professions of followers of the Ghost God can unconsciously fulfill their requirements, thereby gaining access to the Ghost God and becoming a follower..."

"Only when the number of believers of the Evil God reaches a certain level will the Evil God take notice, thus giving birth to the first priest and granting him the ability to truly communicate with the Evil God."

"So that's how it is..." Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised. In a normal profession, one would only feel something after being asked to complete a task.

However, the professions of the followers of the Deity are different. Even if they are unaware of the requirements, they will still be involved if they complete them unconsciously.

For example, the only requirement for employment with Heta is to have reverence for him.

In other words, anyone who knows the name Hetto may become his follower.

Would one learn the name Heituo out of nowhere?
Su Chen thought it was possible, because this planet was full of ruins.

"The true forms of these strange gods are even more powerful than I imagined," Su Chen realized.

Based on the few records available, it can be inferred that initially, the believers on Crimson Thunder Star did not receive the attention of the Strange God; it was only after their numbers increased that the Strange God began to take notice.

Before casting their gaze upon us, were these strange gods also paying attention to other places?

Su Chen's thoughts raced for a moment, but he quickly composed himself, putting the information about the Faceless Ghost last. He couldn't help but ask, "What about the occupational information of the Faceless Ghost's followers?"

"Warning: After reviewing the occupational information of the Faceless Demon followers, your information will be marked with a hidden 'potential contamination' label and will be subject to random checks by the Judgment Office for follower screening from time to time."

Such heavy defenses… Su Chen muttered to himself, but he wasn’t afraid anyway, and continued checking.

A line of small text appeared on the virtual screen in front of them, and the panel immediately responded.
[A special profession has been discovered – Faceless Ghost Follower. This profession can be taken after fulfilling the relevant requirements.]

[The Faceless Demon Follower: Living in the place of the original owner for three days, using a disguised identity and appearance.]

"It's really that simple..." Su Chen couldn't help but sigh. If someone had the intention of assassination or hiding, they could have accomplished it unintentionally.

When you sleep that night, you might dream of a faceless demon. After being fooled by its "omnipotent" divine power, you will take up a post.

The common characteristics of the Ghost Gods specifically emphasize that all Ghost Gods label themselves as omnipotent. In a sense, they can indeed do things like resurrecting loved ones and extending lifespan.

A resurrected loved one might plunge a knife into your chest.

Extending your lifespan might turn you into a lump of mindless, rotting flesh.

In the materials he consulted, every so often a warning would be marked in red: never believe any promises made by the eccentric god.

"Even after such warnings, how could Wei Yinshuo still believe it?" he couldn't help but wonder.

"Perhaps, he had no choice. The evil god's power within him could be fatal at any moment. If he didn't want to die, he could only believe in that illusory promise."

Just then, the panel popped up again--
The faceless demon, terrified by the power of the Crimson Flame Thunder Lord, dared not move. The priest stepped forward and absorbed it.

[The Priest gains a new disguise option – the Faceless Ghost Priest]

The simple description highlights the pitiful state of the Faceless Demon's followers; by the time the story ends, they have already been completely devoured.

"He can actually disguise himself as a priest. I thought he would just be a believer." Su Chen was quite surprised, but this was even better. "If what controls Meng Qi is something similar to the thing inside Wei Yinshuo's body, it should be able to sense it, right?"

This was his plan: to obtain the method for recruiting Faceless Ghost followers from the Inquisition, and then directly lock their heads.

But this is definitely not the place to try it, Su Chen turned and left.

Teng Liang was still waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he carefully observed his expression before whispering, "The Deceptive Gods take pleasure in deception. Never be curious about them, and don't think they will grant you any requests."

"Don't worry, senior brother." Su Chen understood what Teng Liang was worried about.

Seeing that Su Chen seemed normal, Teng Liang then asked, "What are your thoughts on finding Meng Qi?"

"If we search the entire courtroom thoroughly, we should be able to find him. Or we could just point to something on a map and maybe find him," Su Chen shrugged.

Ignoring the second half of Su Chen's sentence, Teng Liang nodded and said, "It's safe."

He further cautioned, "Don't take any risks yourself. That Meng Qi is no simple man. Although he is only at the third rank, he has other methods. Ordinary fourth-rank individuals are probably no match for him."

"I know." Su Chen nodded. He naturally wouldn't take the risk of publicly arresting a thief and naming and shaming an enemy.

Go back, switch your state, get a feel for the location, then make up some excuse to drag Teng Liang over, and that's it.

By this time, night had completely fallen, but the entire courtroom was brightly lit, and there were armed patrols everywhere on the streets.

Su Chen made an excuse that he had used up too much energy exercising in the afternoon and wanted to go back to replenish his nutrition.

Teng Liang naturally wouldn't stop him, and even told him to rest well. He said he could handle the manpower allocation, and he really didn't want him to take any risks.

Su Chen first went to the Judgment Office to conduct a believer screening and to have his information recorded.

The process is simple. There are specialized mental health professionals who, through a certain instrument, can test nearly a hundred people at once to see if they have been corrupted by the evil spirit.

The test was completed in less than a minute.

Back at his residence, Su Chen went to the gravity chamber, closed the door, and gradually disappeared into the spatial interlayer, simultaneously switching into a new form as a faceless ghost priest.

His facial features seemed to dissolve into water, gradually disappearing into nothingness, but Su Chen himself felt nothing.

At the same time, several senses appeared in all directions, some strong and some weak.

"It's really been almost completely cleared out. There are far fewer things I sensed when I became the Black Priest." Su Chen couldn't help but think. Just as he was about to examine it carefully, his expression gradually changed.

Because there was a sensation that was extremely clear, strong, and most importantly, very close to him.

"Right outside?" His expression became extremely interesting, and he dropped his disguise.

"They're just waiting for me to come back before they come knocking. They've got their eyes on me because I'm Teng Liang's junior brother, and they want revenge for the time Teng Liang attacked them?"

Or perhaps there were other reasons, Su Chen immediately opened his bracelet and sent a message to Teng Liang.

……

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Outside the door, Meng Qi, disguised as a judge, lowered his hand from knocking, his expression somber.

The people here probably all thought he was hiding in fear, and they would never have imagined that he would dare to act openly.

Being trapped in the courtroom has put him in an extremely difficult situation. His body is not yet able to perfectly disguise himself as others, and he will most likely be discovered in the end.

“Even if this body is to be wasted, it should be wasted in a valuable way.” His disguise as a judge was calm. He came to see Su Chen not only to retaliate for Teng Liang’s exposure of his identity last time.

They were also very curious as to why this guy had been targeted by Black Tuo, who even gave his followers on this planet an order to pay any price.

"Perhaps, we can also use this guy to preserve our bodies; his status is not low."

As he was thinking, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the door in front of him with surprise and uncertainty. Just a moment ago, he actually felt a familiar presence from the villa.

Even if it was only for a fleeting moment, he was absolutely certain that he was right.

"Why is there the aura of believers in Su Chen's residence? Who is hiding here?"

For a moment, he was at a loss.

The sudden turn of events left him unsure of what to do. He initially wanted to turn around and leave, but decided to figure out the situation first.

But then a click sound came from in front of them, and the door was opened.

Su Chen looked at the judge with feigned confusion, "Who are you?"

Meng Qi had no choice but to proceed according to the original plan, and said, "Your Excellency Su Chen, I am Luo Bin. I have discovered some clues regarding the research department."

"I see..." Su Chen said thoughtfully, "Come in and talk."

Meng Qi hesitated for a moment, but still followed Su Chen inside. No matter what had just happened, preserving his body was the most important thing.

"Tell me about it." Su Chen casually walked towards the refrigerator, seemingly preparing to get some water.

"...Here's the thing, we found several lab personnel who shouldn't have been on duty today..." he said, pacing forward while staring intently at Su Chen's back, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Wait..." Su Chen suddenly turned around, and Meng Qi stopped in her tracks, only to see that the other person was tilting their ear and asking, "Did you hear that?"

"What?" Meng Qi was confused, as the two were already quite close.

But a faint rumbling sound could indeed be heard in my ears.

next moment

boom!
The door shattered, the heavy solid wood panel breaking into pieces with a piercing cracking sound, tearing open the surrounding walls as well. The fragments, carried by the raging airflow, sprayed out like shrapnel, scattering in all directions.

The violent air pressure came crashing down, like a solid hammer, slamming the sofa and coffee table in the living room against the wall.

In the storm, a thick, bronze-colored metal arm reached out, compressing air to form a translucent shock wave around it, leaving a brief vacuum channel in its wake, while the airflow on both sides swirled wildly to form a milky-white vortex.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, and Meng Qi's pupils contracted as he saw a familiar large hand pressing down on him.

boom!
His entire body was forced into the floor and sank into the ground, leaving him powerless to resist.

"Teng...Liang!"

Meng Qi roared inwardly, "It's that rude guy again!"

The giant silhouette that appeared in the smoke and dust was extremely imposing. It was half-bent over, its shoulder smashing half of the second-floor floor. Its huge eyes were full of indifference, and its thick arms exerted a little force.

boom!
With a muffled thud like a watermelon bursting, Meng Qi's head exploded, sending red and white matter flying everywhere. His body was followed by the sound of bones being crushed, as he was brutally pressed into a puddle of mud.
