I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Xia Kingdom, Jiangcheng.

At 7:30 in the morning, there were several knocks on the door.

"Dongzi! Get up and have breakfast."

"Sister Xun..."

Xu Lindong opened his eyes, got out of bed and was about to put on his pants when the door was pushed open with a "bang".

"Just bought soy milk and fried dough sticks, let's eat them while they're hot!"

A figure walked straight in.

She wore a light gray knitted cardigan loosely over a plain T-shirt, her chestnut-brown shoulder-length hair tucked behind one ear, revealing a faint, almost invisible beauty mark at the corner of her eye.

Her long legs were clad in cozy, fluffy bunny slippers, but her steps were anything but slow. As soon as she entered, she swiftly pulled back the curtains, her movements as decisive as a sheriff catching a prostitute.

"No... Sister Xun!"

Xu Lindong grabbed his trousers and used them to cover his shorts, looking embarrassed.

"Next time, can you wait until I'm dressed before you come in...?"

"What's wrong?"

Yi Qianxun turned her head, her gaze lingering on his legs for a moment, and let out a soft hum.

"You've lived at home for so many years, I've never seen you so particular before. Now that you've become an executive officer in the Department of the Supernatural, you've distanced yourself from me?"

Xu Lindong was speechless and could only shake his head.

"No, I was just startled."

"If you didn't secretly do something bad, would I scare you?"

Yi Qianxun glanced suspiciously at the room's trash can, put the breakfast in his hand on the table, and casually took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth. "Soy milk and fried dough sticks, eat them while they're hot, don't let them get cold."

Xu Lindong strongly suspected that this old driver was even driving while buying breakfast, but he had no proof.

Because in the six months since she regained her memories, this woman has always been like this; it can only be said that this is her true nature.

He didn't dare say anything more, nodded repeatedly as he saw the beautiful Sister Xun out, quickly put on his trousers, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The return of memories from his previous life initially made Xu Lindong feel uneasy, as if he had invaded another person's life.

But he gradually realized that this was just his memories from his "previous life" awakening in the cycle of reincarnation, like solving a mystery from the womb, and now finally returning along with his cheat code.

Over the past six months, he has gradually absorbed his memories from his past life, and can even recall fragments of his growth in the amniotic fluid of his mother's womb.

However, since the memories have just been awakened, it is inevitable that they will feel unfamiliar at first, and may even doubt who they are, and need to readjust.

Unfortunately, Xun Jie and he were practically childhood sweethearts, and their close relationship often led to considerable challenges for him during the memory fusion process over the past six months.

Fortunately, as the mystery of his birth was solved, he became increasingly clear that his past life was more like a version of himself on another timeline, with the same appearance, personality, and parents, only the fate brought about by reincarnation was different.

"Eat it while it's hot! Soy milk won't taste good when it gets cold."

Yi Qianxun's voice came from outside.

Xu Lindong responded, quickly washed up, sat down at the table, picked up his breakfast, and began to eat.

His gaze swept over the extraordinary items on the table, such as the homemade "smoke from the stove," and the extraordinary power within his stomach fluctuated subtly with each bite, causing his thoughts to rise and fall accordingly.

The history of this world is roughly the same as that of the world he remembered from his previous life, from ancient times to the feudal era.

However, about three hundred years ago, the last centralized "Great Xia Dynasty" did not collapse as expected.

Instead, after a series of internal reforms and external clashes, it gradually evolved into a country that retained some traditional feudal systems but had essentially entered the stage of modernization.

Even more bizarrely, about a hundred years ago, a strange phenomenon called "supernatural sinkhole invasion" began to slowly appear and intensify on a global scale.

Many extraordinary sequence powers subsequently revived.

This gradually led to the emergence of strange and dangerous sinkholes around the world, and also gave rise to the Sequence Superhumans.

Sixty years ago, the turmoil within the Great Xia Kingdom caused by supernatural phenomena reached its peak.

At that time, an unparalleled figure who had entered the first level of the human hierarchy, the "human god," suddenly appeared.

With his supreme power and authority over civilization, he restored order to the land, established a new social order with the "Divine Bureau" at its core, and laid the foundation for the modern Great Xia.

In the Western world, under the impact of the extraordinary changes brought about by the divine sequence, a parliamentary co-governance system centered on the "Federal Union" was formed.

Xu Lindong's current identity is that of a trainee executive officer at the Jiangcheng branch of the Divine Bureau of the Great Xia Kingdom.

He is also a transcendent being of the tenth rank in the Heavenly Dao sequence, known as the "Kitchen Official".

"The power of the extraordinary sequence!"

Xu Lindong finished the soy milk in his cup.

He snapped his fingers casually, and the extraordinary power within his body suddenly surged, as if a ball of charcoal had lit up in his stomach.

"laugh!"

A cluster of blazing fire leaped from his fingertips, distorting the air slightly, and his internal energy was rapidly depleted.

In the blink of an eye, the soy milk cup was burned to ashes, leaving only some black ash.

"...The stove fire!"

Xu Lindong stared at the flame dancing on his fingertips, his mind in a daze.

As the tenth in the Heavenly Dao sequence, the [Kitchen Official].

His extraordinary powers are related to 'fire', 'smoke', and 'ash'.

It possesses abilities related to exorcising evil spirits, burning, creating smoke, and suppressing.

Even though he had completely mastered this extraordinary power for some time.

However, every time he activated this ability that far surpassed that of ordinary people, the newly integrated memories still felt unreal.

This is only the power of the tenth sequence of the Heavenly Dao.

If one reaches the end of this path, how powerful will the [Heavenly Emperor] of Sequence One be?

That's the charm of this fantastical world.

Xu Lindong finished tidying up the trash, got up and walked out of the room, and saw Yi Qianxun's father, Yi Guoqiang, watching TV in the living room.

The television screen was broadcasting the inspirational story of the CEO of the Qiangdong Group.

"The founder of Qiangdong Group came from a poor family and could not afford tuition fees. He was able to study at the Capital University thanks to the fundraising assistance from his neighbors."

After achieving success in his career, he actively gave back to his hometown...

Watching on TV the "extraordinary medicine" that Qiangdong Group delivers to every household.

Xun Jie's father, Yi Guoqiang, exclaimed, "This boss, Qiangdong, has a conscience. He doesn't forget his roots even when he becomes rich. That's how a person should be. What a hero!"

"Uncle Yi!"

Xu Lindong greeted her, walked over and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Yi Qianxun's long, smooth legs, which were casually propped up on the coffee table, and then quickly moved away.

Looking at someone subconsciously is a man's nature; staring intently is a sign of a scoundrel.

"Dad, stop envying others."

Don't you realize how much economic pressure we're under right now?

Yi Qianxun, with a lollipop in her mouth, lay on the sofa touching up her makeup as she spoke.

"When you really need money urgently, how many of your relatives and friends can you rely on?"

"We didn't just bear it all ourselves."

Hearing this, Zhou Hui, the mother who was mopping the floor, said softly, "You can't say that. In this day and age, every family has its difficulties."

And now, we've essentially handed Dongzi over."

She looked at Xu Lindong, who was eating in silence beside her, and said with a relieved tone, "Now that Dongzi is an executive officer of the Department of the Supernatural, things will gradually get better for our family."

"Oh, right!"

Yi Qianxun sat up, stretched out his long legs, raised an eyebrow at Xu Lindong, and said, "Brother, the salary at the Supernatural Division must be pretty high, right? You're a superhuman now, so you must be quite prestigious there, right?"

"It's not that simple; the Department of Mysteries is full of hidden talents."

Xu Lindong shook his head and said, "The internship salary isn't high."

Don't worry, my internship is over. After I finish the next task, I'll get a bonus and a regular salary.

Yi Qianxun's eyes lit up: "Does that mean you have money to buy me a new handheld console? My Switch is practically worn out from all the use!"

"What's more important than a career and extraordinary abilities?"

Yi Guoqiang put down his chopsticks. "The competition in the Department of Mystic Arts is so fierce. Let's wait until Dongzi is more stable before making any moves."

"Dad, you're just biased towards him..."

Yi Qianxun turned her head away to apply lipstick, but didn't say anything more.

She was just joking and wouldn't really be a burden to Xu Lindong.

Yi Guoqiang frowned and sighed: "I know you also want to be promoted as soon as possible. After all, being a third-level civilian staff member in the Command Office is not a long-term solution."

I'll try to find a way to raise some money to buy you supplements...

"Uncle Yi".

Xu Lindong interrupted, "The family spent all their money on medicines and sequence substances for me before, and even took out a loan of 500,000."

Sister Xun provided me with extraordinary potions for a whole year, which is why I haven't been able to improve.

Let me take care of the resources she needs for promotion.

He paused for a moment before saying, "My strength is very stable now, and the company provides me with supplies every month, which is enough."

"Brother, I'm so touched by what you're saying."

Yi Qianxun immediately put down her lipstick, pouted, and sent a kiss into the air.

Xu Lindong rolled his eyes, shook his head, and smiled.

He remembered the kindness shown by Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi.

Regardless of his past life memories, he is himself in this life and is willing to take on this responsibility.

Yi Guoqiang wanted to say something more, but Zhou Hui stopped him: "Dongzi is now a superhuman, he can handle more than you."

It's time for him to take charge of this household.

Yi Guoqiang was taken aback, but looking at Xu Lindong's steady eyes, he smiled with satisfaction: "Good, good! Lindong is an executive officer now, it's time for him to take on the responsibility."

As he spoke, he glanced at his carefree daughter beside him and sighed inwardly.

He used to be a police officer in the Public Security Bureau. During a crisis involving a sudden supernatural event, Xu Lindong's parents risked their lives to save him, but they themselves did not survive.

From then on, he made up his mind to repay the kindness and took the young Xu Lindong home to raise him.

He even secretly thought about marrying his daughter, Yi Qianxun, to him in the future.

Unfortunately, over the years, the two children have become too close.

Yi Qianxun seems to have some potential in this area. He is very aloof in public, but he is affectionate and uninhibited with Lin Dong.

However, there was no response from Lindong for a long time.

However, in the last six months, the child seems to have gradually come to his senses, which has brought him great comfort.

"Dongzi's father was a big shot back in the day, so Dongzi can't be any different."

My daughter takes after me; she's beautiful and talented. They're a match made in heaven.

Bringing Dongzi back was a brilliant decision... Judging by this, I'll be holding my grandson in just a few years.

……

After dinner, Yi Guoqiang went downstairs for a leisurely walk, while Zhou Hui cleared away the dishes.

As Xun was wiping the table, she noticed Xu Lindong hurriedly entering the room to grab his ringing phone. Turning her head, she said, "Another mission? Be careful, don't come back with your clothes all messy. I'll have to wash your underwear for you."

"Don't worry about it. Even if I get my clothes dirty on a mission, my underwear won't get dirty."

Xu Lindong laughed and replied that he was really helpless against this experienced woman, but he also knew that she was just being concerned.

He picked up his phone and saw a missed call.

Upon opening the chat software, I saw that in the small group chat of the Department of Supernatural Affairs, Captain Lu Qian was issuing instructions:

"Residents of Liangjie Community have reported a strange incident, suspected to be an ordinary person being possessed by an evil spirit, possibly involving infection by supernatural entities."

Xiao Xu, this time you'll lead the team, taking Li Yunfan and Xiao Qing along.

Once this is done, you and Yunfan can be officially hired, and Xiaoqing can also be promoted.

Li Yunfan replied instantly: "Haha, Captain Lu, that's exactly what I've been waiting for! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Xu Lindong was greatly encouraged.

After becoming a full-time employee, his salary doubled, plus performance bonuses, which greatly alleviated the financial burden on his family and relieved his economic predicament.

More importantly, dealing with these kinds of events can also accumulate merit for the "Tower of Babel" he brought with him during his journey, thus increasing his strength.

He pulled open his collar and looked at a tower-shaped mark on his chest.

As consciousness slightly condensed.

It immediately transformed into a ten-story tower-shaped pendant, which was the "Tower of Babel" cheat that had been revived along with his memories of his past life half a year ago.

This tower can manifest in front of you or remain in your mind; it cannot be observed by outsiders.

Composing himself, he replied in the group chat: "I'm leaving right away."

Lu Qian then sent a file containing the specific address and a brief description of the incident.

Xu Lindong picked up the keys to the extraordinary motorcycle assigned to him by the company.

He went downstairs, hopped on his rugged heavy motorcycle.

Twist the throttle, and a roar erupts. The engine emits a deep, powerful roar, and blue smoke billows from the exhaust pipe, which resembles a chimney.

The entire vehicle then began to shake violently, like a ferocious beast.

"Boom boom!"

He hunched over, the motorcycle tracing a clean arc across the street, and sped away...
