I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Holding the Tower of Babel, Xu Lindong's expression was solemn.

The transfer of the curse must be done without the slightest error.

If not handled properly, the curse could easily spread and infiltrate the bodies of nearby ordinary people, causing new zombie transformations, and in the end, he would have to clean up the mess.

Typically, those with extraordinary abilities will hand over the suppressed evil to the Department of the Divine, which will then use the divine artifacts within the department to seal them away.

But since he owns the Tower of Babel, he can deal with it directly.

Although the Tower of Babel in his possession is now in a damaged state and requires him to spend time and effort accumulating merit to slowly repair it, its value is still immeasurable.

With his "lifting the bar" movement.

The curse power inside the Kitchen God's sedan chair was immediately drawn towards the Tower of Babel, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed by the tower and disappeared.

The flickering flame inside the red lantern quickly stabilized.

With a slight thought, Xu Lindong's consciousness sank into the Tower of Babel.

next moment.

He felt as if he were in an incredibly vivid dream.

Consciousness suddenly plunged into a familiar yet mysterious black space.

This is the lowest level hall of the Tower of Babel.

The tower has a spacious interior, and the gray-blue walls gleam with a faint light. The mountain and river patterns on the reliefs shimmer with light as the energy flows through the tower.

His gaze swept around the room.

However, apart from the main entrance at the back, there are three ancient stone doors standing in the east, west, and north directions on the tower.

The lintel is inscribed with the seal characters for "Heavenly Way", "Earthly Way", and "Human Way".

Beside the three stone doors, there are also different small black doors, which seem very mysterious.

At this moment, the "tunnel" door was trembling slightly, and there were still faint traces of cold black energy left, which were quickly drawn back into the door.

It was exactly the same as the wisp of cursed power he had previously sent away.

"They're already locked up..."

Xu Lindong understood.

Although the power of the curse was formidable, it could no longer wreak havoc inside the Tower of Babel, as it had been suppressed by the rules within the tower and was temporarily harmless.

However, it seems somewhat illogical that this cursed power, which is suspected to be the eighth Yin Messenger of the Underground Sequence, is imprisoned on the tenth floor, the very bottom of the Tower of Babel.

"Perhaps the power of this curse is still very weak... If it were the evil object itself, it might have been directly imprisoned in the eighth level."

His gaze shifted to the center of the hall ahead.

There stands a two-meter-high oval bronze mirror.

The frame is intricately carved, with a celestial totem of celestial movement on the left, a terrestrial pattern of overlapping mountains on the right, and a humanistic inscription carved in relief above, depicting an unfolded scroll.

The mirror surface was originally like gray water ripples.

But in the instant he gazed upon it, everything suddenly became clear, transforming into transparent crystal that reflected his clear image.

Ripples spread across the mirror's surface, revealing lines of golden writing that depicted the state of the diary:

Latest Record of Handling Strange Incidents

Rescue an ordinary person infected by an evil entity in the tunnel.

Successfully prevented the zombie transformation, eliminated the parasitic resentment, and avoided the spread of secondary infection.

Reward: 30 merits

Latest Detention Records

It contains the "curse of resentment from the underworld messengers" (Source: Tunnel Sequence 8 - Remnants of evil artifacts of the underworld messenger level).

The curse has been isolated and suppressed, transforming into a stable cycle of Yin energy.

Reward: 20 merits

Current merit balance: 765

"As expected, it is indeed a malevolent entity of Sequence Eight [Underworld Messenger]..."

"The merit gained this time is not bad... If we could imprison that real Sequence Eight Evil Object, it would be a great merit."

"However, it's also very dangerous."

Xu Lindong pondered to himself.

Precisely because of the danger, he did not take the risk of keeping this wisp of cursed power and gambling that the evil creature would be attracted to him.

Merit is important, but one must be alive to enjoy it.

Merit is not something ethereal or intangible; within the Tower of Babel, it is a form of energy, the core fuel that powers the tower.

This probably follows the rule that "the most precious treasures belong to the virtuous," and those without virtue are not worthy of enjoying such treasures.

According to Xu Lindong's research, merit can be accumulated by resolving worldly crises and imprisoning evil spirits.

If his merits are reduced to zero or even negative, the Tower of Babel will judge him as "lacking in virtue".

At that time, not only might there be a riot inside the tower, but he himself would also be imprisoned inside the Tower of Babel.

Therefore, possessing this treasure comes at a price.

However, these costs are bearable compared to the Tower of Babel's ability to accelerate cultivation and suppress sequence conflicts.

This is not only a treasure for enhancing strength, but also a key to preventing "qi deviation" and saving one's life on the path to transcendence.

But all of this requires a great deal of merit to be accumulated.

He composed himself and focused intently on the mirror.

His personal state was quickly reflected in the mirror.

Xu Lindong: Vigor and Spirit [36]

Mastering the sequence extraordinary

Sequence Ten of the Way of Heaven: Zao Guan"

According to the "essence, energy, and spirit" standard used in the supernatural world for the advancement of extraordinary individuals.

Those whose spirit and energy reach 20 can access extraordinary power. By absorbing extraordinary substances, they can advance to Sequence 10 of any sequence and possess the extraordinary abilities of that sequence.

Only when one's spirit and energy reach 100 can one advance to the ninth rank.

Xu Lindong's current energy level is only 36, which is far from meeting the standard for promotion.

However, thanks to the solid foundation he had laid before and his crazy training in the Tower of Babel, where he could ignore the conflict of sequence backlash, he was still very skilled in the use and control of sequence supernatural abilities.

Therefore, he was able to master abilities such as the stove fire and the stove god's sedan chair, and his performance surpassed that of Li Yunfan and others.

At this moment, as he thought of it, the bronze mirror gradually lost its luster and returned to a gray mist resembling ripples.

"I only need to frequently handle these kinds of extraordinary events and maintain a positive growth in merit to perfectly control this tower."

Xu Lindong turned around, walked towards the gate marked "tunnel", and pushed it open a crack.

A chilling aura wafted out from under the door.

The curse power of the underworld messengers that had been sent in earlier was now lingering inside the door, wriggling like a small piece of black gelatinous substance, no longer capable of causing any disturbance.

It appears to be being refined by the Tower of Babel.

"fine!"

Having confirmed that the curse's power had been suppressed, Xu Lindong withdrew from the Tower of Babel.

Now is not the time for consciousness to remain inside the Tower of Babel for an extended period.

As he regained consciousness, he glanced at his palm in the kitchen.

I found that my palms had completely returned to normal.

Just then, he heard voices coming from the hall outside, so he immediately pushed open the door and went out to check.

I saw Liang Qizheng talking to a man wearing a casual suit.

Upon seeing him come out, Liang Qizheng immediately introduced him.

The man in the suit's eyes lit up. He showed no disrespect for Xu Lindong's youth and immediately stepped forward, extending his hand and smiling:

"Captain Xu, this is Feng Yu, the director of Qinglin Subdistrict Office. Thanks to you for handling this matter so cleanly and efficiently today."

We also encountered some problems on our end, so we were a little late..."

"Director Feng, you're too kind. But I'm not the team leader yet, just call me Xiao Xu."

Xu Lindong nodded and reached out to shake hands.

"No, no, Captain Xu is young and promising, it's only a matter of time before he becomes captain." Feng Yu said with a smile.

The moment their hands clasped, a warm yet vibrant extraordinary power emanated from the other's palms.

It seemed to be not just Feng Yu's power alone, but rather as if countless hands were stacked on top of each other, and layers upon layers of human energy wrapped around Xu Lindong like a warm current, condensing into an invisible yet perceptible "momentum".

Xu Lindong understood immediately, thinking to himself, "Humanity Sequence Ten, Village Head."

The other party is proactively revealing their identity and strength, which can be considered as laying their cards on the table.

The "village head" can slightly mobilize people's hearts and minds, and can also slightly gather the popularity of a local area to himself, greatly boosting his spirit and energy, and can also dispel low-level evil spirits.

The village chiefs, who are generally part of the human rights order, usually serve in various streets and villages of the Xia Kingdom, and are in charge of a certain area.

The next step up is the ninth rank, [Pavilion Chief], who can gather a small amount of the villagers' willpower, wield a knife to fight evil, and even summon extraordinary phantoms of local militia to fight.

Xu Lindong released his grip and asked, "Director Feng, what happened on your end?"

Feng Yu's expression was serious, and he lowered his voice, "I found other infected people in the alley of East Street and several rental houses. When I checked their identities, they were all hairdressers from the Golden Phoenix Hair Salon."

However, everyone was dead, and one of them had already turned into a zombie...
