I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Inside the unfinished building, the ghostly figure slowly emerged from the wall, gradually becoming clearer from its illusory spiritual state.

It was like a human-shaped shadow deeply embedded in the wall, its facial features highlighted in the shadows, as if extending and growing from the wall itself, its clenched mouth slightly opening and closing.

"The first step of the plan failed."

The evil creature that scurried out of Yueshan Temple hadn't even fully grown before it was already being targeted by the Department of Divine Mysteries.

"It was almost located these past few days; if I hadn't intervened, it would be imprisoned by now."

"How could this happen?"

An elderly man with a stiff, pale face and a hoarse voice slowly spoke, his tone heavy, "The Divine Bureau should not have sent out experts immediately, even though they had clearly arranged to start with ordinary people at the bottom, and in the East District."

By the time they realized it, the infection had already spread, and the evil creature should have grown successfully.

The silhouette of the shadow on the wall said in a deep voice:

"Plans can't keep up with changes."

The Eastern District's Bureau of Mysteries has a captain, the "Pavilion Chief," who is at the ninth level of the Human Path Sequence. He and several team members are already tracking down clues about the evil entity... The curses on the other corpses have also been brought under control.

They seemed to detect the cursed aura emanating from the evil entity very quickly, quite unexpectedly.

"It's definitely not normal to be able to detect and deal with the curse aura so quickly."

The woman sitting by the gate exclaimed in surprise, then frowned, "The evil entity hasn't even fully developed and it's already being targeted. How can our plan proceed?"

The shadow on the wall flickered slightly, and the tone turned cold:

"Why not turn the tables on them?"

While they are dealing with the evil creatures, we will secretly take action, eliminate them all, and feed them to the evil creatures.

This way, it can grow quickly, and then it will combine with the components inside the Qinglong Temple, before returning to the ancient house outside the city to unlock the seal for us.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

A child's voice came from a vat in the corner, retorting:

"In that case, even if we succeed, it will alert the Bureau of Mysteries. Even if we break the seal on the ancient house, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed."

"Our lives have already been given to the Salvation Church."

The voice from the shadows on the wall was resolute: "The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for us. As long as we can complete the plan, any sacrifice... will be worthwhile."

A moment of silence fell over the room, as if everyone was weighing their options.

...

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

By continuously browsing the information on the internal network of the Department of the Supernatural.

Xu Lindong has gained a fairly deep understanding of the "Supernatural Sinkhole Invasion," a grand event that has engulfed the real world.

Tiankeng (sinkholes) are also classified into four types: low-risk, medium-risk, high-risk, and restricted area.

Among them, the forbidden sinkholes, such as the "Fengdu Ghost Gate" sinkhole in Mount Tai in China, once opened and a large number of strange ghost soldiers emerged, but they were also accompanied by the emergence of some extraordinary treasures from the underground sequence.

There are also the "Shennong Mountain" and the "Chiyou Tomb" sinkhole. The former once erupted with extraordinary spiritual veins, while the latter shone with precious light, attracting various forces to fight for it, but many powerful people have disappeared inside.

Foreign oceans, such as the "Bermuda Vortex," have distorted the environment of the surrounding seas, swallowed ships, and even brought to the surface the "Ghost Titan," which had been submerged for a long time.

The fluctuations in these sinkholes often have repercussions in reality.

Some already mysterious regions, such as Shennong Mountain, which has long been rumored to be inhabited by wild men, will become even more terrifying after their extraordinary resurrection.

However, for him now, he only needs to focus on and explore low-risk sinkholes.

"I've been cultivating and researching these past few days, and my energy and spirit have now reached 37.4. Although I haven't mastered the ability of the Kitchen God to descend yet, with frequent practice, my control over the stove fire has improved a lot..."

Xu Lindong stood up, stretched his body, and raised his palm.

The extraordinary abilities of the stomach and intestines erupt.

A blazing pillar of flame suddenly shot up from his palm, instantly rising nearly a meter high, almost reaching the edge of the curtains.

But just as it was about to touch the curtain, he precisely pulled it back.

Even the flames coiled around him like serpents, demonstrating astonishing control.

This increasingly refined control over extraordinary power has undoubtedly raised his combat capabilities to a new level.

At this moment, the entire room was filled with warmth from the stove fire.

Xu Lindong quickly extinguished the flames.

I was just about to sit back down at my computer desk.

The door was suddenly pushed open with a "click".

Yi Qianxun, with a lollipop in her mouth and a glass of milk in hand, poked her head in: "Aren't you asleep yet? What have you been secretly watching in your room these past two days?"

She glanced at the dense text and several temple diagrams on the screen, took off her lollipop, raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "Oh, researching this so late at night?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were browsing some unhealthy website. I was even thinking of checking up on your mental and physical well-being.

Xu Lindong closed the page helplessly: "Serious information."

I've just been promoted to executive officer, so I need to familiarize myself with these internal documents.

"Alright, you academic genius."

Yi Qianxun swayed over, placed the milk on the table, and casually asked, "Are you off tomorrow?"

"Yeah, as long as there's no mission, we get a day off the day after tomorrow too."

"That's perfect, I'll take a day off tomorrow too."

You've been looking at information about these ancient temples these past few days, probably trying to find the door god scrolls for advancing to the ninth rank, right? Why don't we go check out some nearby ancient temples together?

Yi Qianxun stretched and said.

"I drank the extraordinary potion you gave me, and my energy and spirit have improved. I had a check-up at the institute, and I'm almost 17. I might as well go out for a walk."

Xu Lindong was taken aback. "You actually knew I was looking for information about the door god inscriptions."

Yi Qianxun gave a playful smile, her eyes crinkling, "Of course! As your older sister, I've been thinking about your future promotions and have been keeping an eye on things for you. Aren't you touched?"

Xu Lindong rolled his eyes. Although he knew in his heart that this was probably the truth, he still retorted out of habit, "I am very touched. I also care about you. You should eat less sugar late at night, lest your teeth get rotten when you get old."

"Shut up!"

Yi Qianxun feigned anger and shoved the lollipop he was holding into Xu Lindong's mouth.

He then lifted his long legs and nimbly sat down on the computer desk next to him.

"Let's go to Qinglong Temple tomorrow. Are you in or not? I've already done the research, and I even got the pass to enter the inner area."

Xu Lindong had just disgustedly taken out the lollipop with saliva still in his mouth, but upon hearing this, he immediately stopped his tantrum and beamed with joy.

It is known that after the global catastrophe, many temples and ancient houses have experienced paranormal events.

Therefore, most areas were locked down.

The interior area is a forbidden zone.

Even with his status as an executive officer of the Department of the Supernatural, getting in might not be easy.

That's why we considered carrying out the cleaning task in the low-risk sinkhole area.

But it's different when Yi Qianxun works at the Extraordinary Ruler.

The Royal Household Office is the department that manages these mystical places, so obtaining an entry permit is naturally easy.

Clearly, she had always kept his affairs in mind.

"Now you know how good your older sister is, right?"

Yi Qianxun sat on the computer desk, glancing sideways at him, "Aren't you going to thank your sister?"

"Thank you, dear sister!"

Xu Lindong quickly changed his attitude.

But I don't think I'm ashamed in front of my own family.

"Sweetie, meow for me."

"That's too much! Get off my desk!"

As Xu Lindong spoke, he reached out and grabbed his sister's waist, intending to lift her down.

Yi Qianxun immediately started wriggling, "Good heavens, you're incredibly audacious, daring to touch my waist!"

"Click!"

The door suddenly opened.

Yi Guoqiang peeked out and stared in astonishment at the two people in the room, who were in strange positions.

Xu Lindong and Yi Qianxun were both struck dumb, frozen in place.

Yi Guoqiang's face darkened.

"Why are you two still making a scene so late at night instead of sleeping!"

Without waiting for their reply, he slammed the door shut.

"Has Dongzi finally figured it out?"

"Wait a minute, isn't this development a bit too fast?"

As a father, Yi Guoqiang felt a mix of joy and worry, with complicated emotions.

...

The next day, Xu Lindong and Yi Qianxun acted as if nothing had happened, calmly leaving the house despite Yi Guoqiang's subtle scrutiny.

He then rode his motorcycle straight to Qinglong Temple.

"Hey Xun-jie, could you please knock before entering my room next time?"

"I've gotten used to it over the years. You can change it after you find a wife."

"Once I advance to the Rank Nine Gatekeepers, I'll show you what polite knocking really means."

Xu Lindong twisted the accelerator and suggested, "Qinglong Temple is a sealed-off temple; there might be something eerie inside. Why don't you wait for me outside?"

"Hey! I got you the permit! I won't let you in without me showing you the way."

Yi Qianxun leaned closer to his shoulder and gently blew into his ear, "You think you can just shake me off now?"

"I'm worried about your safety."

"The temple isn't a sinkhole, it's not that dangerous."

"Besides, my energy and spirit are five times that of an average person. I can run 100 meters in under seven seconds. I'll run away immediately if there's any danger. I won't hold you back, so don't worry."

Xu Lindong shook his head helplessly.

Soon, a temple and an unfinished building complex came into view.

This place is obviously remote; the temple and the unfinished building have been sealed off by the authorities, and it is rarely visited by people.

Their arrival instantly attracted the attention of two groups of people who were lying in ambush.

"What's going on? This is a supernatural motorcycle from the Department of the Supernatural. Why is an executive officer here all of a sudden?"

...
