I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

The cold, straight scraper came rushing towards me, its gleaming light filling my eyes, the blade's edge magnifying in my pupils.

Without hesitation, Xu Lindong raised his hand and gave a low shout, and golden-red flames suddenly rose from his palm.

"Snapped!"

He reacted extremely quickly and made a precise move, grabbing the woman's wrist that was holding the knife.

A bone-chilling coldness spread from the point of contact, and the fire in his palm shook violently, almost going out.

What's even more startling is that the strength emanating from those slender arms is incredibly powerful.

At this tense moment, the fire surrounding him suddenly surged, as if a special force had been injected into him.

"Great, Sister Xun is really encouraging me!"

Xu Lindong decisively released the accelerator, and with both hands outstretched, the flame in his right palm suddenly burst into flames, striking the woman's chest hard.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the raging flames engulfed the woman's arm.

Thick smoke billowed from all around, following closely as if working together to drive away evil.

He gripped the cold hilt of the strange, razor-sharp blade with his right hand.

It was as if lava had rolled into an iceberg.

In an instant, the golden-red flames in his hands dimmed and almost went out.

A chilling and malevolent aura swept over me, piercing my very soul.

He felt as if his upper body was almost frozen, and his mind was as if it had been invaded by evil.

But at that moment, he gritted his teeth and let out a low, angry roar:

"Detain him!"

The towering structure on his neck, which had been throbbing with extreme agitation, suddenly glowed faintly, as a large amount of merit was consumed.

The third level of the tower appears to have doors that are open.

It was as if a giant beast that had been waiting for a long time had opened its mouth, eagerly swallowing the delicious food.

The next second, the evil, razor-sharp knife he was holding in his hand vanished into thin air.

The distorted figure of the graceful woman entangled between the motorcycles also vanished into black mist almost at the same instant.

"Merit +650!"

The evil entity has been successfully imprisoned by the Tower of Babel!

"Boom!"

The exhaust pipe of the heavy motorcycle, like a toad that has lost its strength and is spitting out saliva, trembled and exhaled two smoke rings.

The surrounding shadows and black fog quickly dissipated, revealing empty roads and a park not far away.

In the park, he saw a familiar figure running towards him, her expression anxious and sorrowful.

"Sister Xun?"

Xu Lindong endured the burning pain in his eyes, tightened the accelerator, and sped off.

He instinctively turned around and saw that the large patch of black fog that had enveloped him was slowly dissipating.

In the distance, through the fog, one could faintly hear the sounds of fighting, the explosions of sparks flying, and the muffled thuds of the ground shaking violently.

As these sounds continued to be heard, the black mist dissipated at a noticeably faster pace.

Xu Lindong's heart suddenly tightened.

"It seems that the evil creature wielding a straight knife that I just dealt with was not the real thing... otherwise I wouldn't have been able to imprison it so easily."

"If the main body were imprisoned, this black mist field should have disappeared instantly, not receded so slowly..."

Realizing the danger might not be completely over, he quickly drove his motorcycle toward Yi Qianxun, who was rushing towards him.

"Dongzi!"

Yi Qianxun ran extremely fast, and the two quickly met up.

Xu Lindong had barely brought the car to a complete stop when Yi Qianxun leaped onto the hood of the car like a kangaroo and clung to him.

"I saw the black fog swallow you up, and even the stove light was about to go out, so I quickly added oil to your stove... You almost scared me to death, you know!"

"Ouch... Sister Xun, be gentle."

Xu Lindong winced in pain when she touched his wound.

Yi Qianxun was startled by the sound and then noticed that Xu Lindong's eyes were covered with fire bubbles.

His clothes were charred and stuck to his skin, leaving only red burn marks. Even the ends of his hair were curled and charred.

"Dongzi, you actually got hurt by your own cooking fire?"

She quickly got out of the car and leaned closer to examine Xu Lindong's injuries.

"These are just minor injuries, nothing serious. I'll get some treatment at the company and be fine. Luckily, Sister Xun was there to support me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Xu Lindong shook his head, then suddenly noticed that Xun Jie's hands were also red, as if she had been burned, and immediately asked her about it.

"When I was adding oil to your pan, the flames suddenly flared up. Luckily, I dodged quickly and only burned my hand. If it had been my face, it would have been a real problem. But I'm happy that you're alright, Dongzi."

Yi Qianxun held onto Xu Lindong's arm, completely unconcerned.

Xu Lindong was somewhat moved. He then reached out and covered his chest and abdomen. He could feel the 'Kitchen God Charcoal' stirring in his stomach, as if a raging fire was burning his lungs.

This is the sound of extraordinary matter backfiring.

He could no longer use his supernatural powers for a short time, otherwise the backlash would be amplified.

However, for him, this backlash was not considered dangerous.

With a thought, the Tower of Babel on his neck flashed slightly.

As the merits accumulated were depleted.

The restless charcoal in the stomach and intestines immediately quieted down, suppressed by the vast power of the Tower of Babel.

At this moment, the black fog in front of us finally dissipated completely.

Several figures appeared.

Lu Qian, holding a blood-stained and broken broadsword, was clearly among them.

"Looks like it's solved!"

Xu Lindong breathed a sigh of relief, noticing that Qinglong Temple in the distance had also quieted down.

Clearly, the evil object inside the temple has been suppressed.

At that moment, the ground not far away seemed to transform into a muddy swamp, and suddenly a figure covered in mud emerged.

The figure was carrying a graceful woman in one hand, and in the other hand it held a gleaming straight scraper.

"It's that landman of Sequence Eight. What he has in his hands is that evil creature and the owner of the Golden Phoenix Hair Salon."

As expected, what I had previously contacted and imprisoned was not the true form of the evil entity...

Xu Lindong suddenly realized something and his expression became serious.

These kinds of evil creatures are truly terrifying!

He observed from a distance for a moment, and Lu Qian on the other side waved to him, indicating that the situation was safe.

He immediately led Yi Qianxun over.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

The battlefield was cleaned up, and the Divine Bureau's post-disaster logistics team had arrived at the scene.

Six mounds rose from the ground, resembling tombs, beneath which lay six corpses.

Five of the bodies belonged to the enemy and the owner of the Golden Phoenix Hair Salon, while the other belonged to Qi Yu, a member of the Third Team of the Mysterious Division.

Apart from Qi Yu, who tragically sacrificed his life, almost all the members of the third team, including Yuan Jing, the guardian of Qinglong Temple, Lu Qian, the captain of the third team of the Divine Realm, and Xu Lindong, were injured.

After some discussion, the specific details of the battle and their experiences became clear to everyone.

"What a pity about Qi Yu... He's only twenty-six years old, a graduate of Shanghai University, and should have had a bright future."

Tang Zhe clutched his severed arm, which looked as if it had been cut off by a knife, his lips turning white.

His gaze fell upon one of the raised mounds, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Once the extraordinary substances within him have completely subsided, arrange for his burial."

I will apply to the department for an additional first-class merit award for him and ensure the implementation of his pension.

Lu Qian's battle clothes were torn, her chest was stained with blood, her pretty face was covered in dirt, and her voice was low.

"Our Yueshan City branch will take full responsibility for this matter."

A rugged man with a scar on his lip spoke with a gloomy expression, "I didn't expect that this group of people from the Evil Society would not only be strong themselves, but also have information about the connection between the two evil artifacts, Yueshan Temple and Qinglong Temple."

This intelligence is absolutely top secret; it's likely that only the headquarters could have such information, and even I have never heard of it.

If it weren't for what happened today...

"This precisely illustrates that our intelligence work is lagging behind, and there is a lack of close cooperation between the Command and the Department of the Supernatural."

Another tall, sallow-faced man said in a deep voice.

He was Zhou Du, the eighth-ranked transcendent being in the Heavenly Dao Sequence [Land], and also the strongest among everyone present.

At this moment, in his thick, yellowish-brown palm, a lump of blackened clay was tightly encasing a gleaming straight sword.

"If it weren't for Comrade Xu's visit to Qinglong Temple, his early awareness of the strange activity of the evil entity in the Dharma Protector Hall, and his warning to Chief Yuan, our casualties this time would probably have been much more severe."

As Zhou Du spoke, he turned his gaze to Xu Lindong, his eyes filled with approval, and nodded, saying, "Moreover, Comrade Xu was able to break out of the evil object's field on his own, which is truly outstanding."

His praise was both sincere and an attempt to ease the somber atmosphere.

If it weren't for Xu Lindong's appearance, the situation would have been even worse.

Right now, the team really needs a role that can boost morale.

This will be the person who must be highlighted and commended when reporting to superiors afterwards.

With Zhou Du's certainty, all eyes immediately turned to Xu Lindong...

...
