I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

The fact that the Tower of Babel could be disturbed was definitely not due to any ordinary event.

If Xu Lindong hadn't sensed Lu Qian's presence nearby, he would have immediately turned away and wouldn't have lingered for even a moment.

Just then, the crisp sound of high heels approached from afar.

Lu Qian's tall and proud figure had already appeared in the corridor.

She wore a chic black evening gown that exuded a powerful, sophisticated aura, with her slightly wavy long hair swaying gently over her shoulders.

Behind her were the figures of Tang Zhe and Li Yunfan.

They were all drawn by the commotion and sensed Xu Lindong's presence, so they rushed over.

For those with extraordinary abilities, Xu Lindong's energy and spirit, far exceeding that of ordinary people, were like a torch in the dark of night in the hotel; it was difficult not to notice him if he was nearby.

"Brother Dong, what's going on?"

Li Yunfan was surprised when he saw Xu Lindong and the situation on the scene.

"What happened?"

Lu Qian strode over, her gaze sweeping across the entire area like lightning before landing on Xu Lindong, without giving the person on the ground much attention.

She believed that her team members would not attack ordinary people without reason.

"Is it another group from that department?"

The supervisor who was supporting Lin Xiao was already feeling a chill run down his spine and sweat was seeping from his back.

The scene before him filled him, an ordinary man, with fear.

Lin Xiao's condition at this moment appeared even more unusual.

Instead of becoming enraged after being slapped, he appeared dazed, as if he were out of his mind, and his body was somewhat limp.

Even the woman standing to the side seemed somewhat dazed.

Xu Lindong glanced at the two men's appearances and became even more certain of his judgment.

The slight tremor he felt in the Tower of Babel just now was definitely not his imagination.

He immediately pointed into the private room, his expression grave, and said:

"Captain Lu, I suspect there's something wrong with this private room."

The way these two are behaving... isn't quite right.

"Oh?"

Lu Qian and Tang Zhe's expressions suddenly froze.

Lu Qian's gaze instantly sharpened like a knife, and the veins on the skin below her neck became clearly visible, as if blood was surging up, and her chest was swelling.

Her aura was layered upon layered, as if an invisible phantom appeared behind her.

A sense of oppression, far more ferocious than that of a wild beast, suddenly spread out.

"despair!"

She stepped into the private room in her high heels.

A vast and fierce aura erupted from her like a raging torrent, whipping her long, wavy hair in the air.

Sequence Nine [Pavilion Chief] Ability: Popularity Overwhelming!

An overwhelming aura enveloped the entire private room like an invisible pressure.

Immediately, many porcelain teacups on the table in the room trembled and cracked one after another.

Xu Lindong's eyes flashed, and he took out a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket and held it in his hand, while taking a step forward to follow.

Just then, faint, eerie figures slowly emerged from the cracked wine glasses and porcelain surfaces in the private room.

The figure's face was blurred, and its outline was indistinct.

The temperature in the entire room plummeted instantly, the paint on the walls seemed to peel off in patches, and gusts of cold wind poured in from the windows, making the environment visibly eerie.

"This is......"

Tang Zhe and Li Yunfan, who had just entered the room, changed their expressions and immediately stared warily at the faint ghostly figures emerging from the vessels, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"A Sequence Beyonder from the Underground Path? A wandering soul, or a messenger from the underworld?"

"It's a messenger from the underworld!"

Lu Qian's eyes narrowed suddenly, and her aura surged.

The veins under her neck became even clearer, and several tall, illusory figures coalesced and emerged from behind her, their bloody aura billowing out like smoke from a wolf's tail.

"Snapped!"

Xu Lindong snapped his fingers at the same time, and a cluster of golden-red flames suddenly shot up from his fingertips.

The moment the flames rose, the cold, sticky atmosphere around them visibly froze, as if forcibly repelled by the intense heat.

"The other person is no longer here."

Lu Qian suddenly spoke up, her tone icy, "All that remains here is the aura of a curse."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhe and Li Yunfan felt a sense of relief.

But at that moment, the faint figure on the water glass and porcelain opposite them trembled slightly, as if it were saying something.

The sound did not come from its "mouth".

Instead, it flowed eerily from a speaker in the corner of the room, cold and stiff, with an echo:

"You are indeed extraordinary... The curse I left behind was not even detected by your captain at first, yet you sensed it first."

"As expected of... the one who ruined our plans with his own hands."

"What!?"

Xu Lindong felt a chill run down his spine.

This was clearly said to him.

Because at that moment, all the blurry figures on the utensils in the room turned towards him.

Despite his indistinct features, he could clearly feel the gaze upon him.

Cold and dark, like a ghost's eye.

"Are you with the Salvation Church?"

Lu Qian's gaze turned cold, and she suddenly asked, "How do you know it was him who ruined the plan?"

Your entire group has been wiped out by us!

The figure opposite swayed slightly on the surface of the vessel, and a low, cold laugh came from the speaker:

"This is not difficult to find out."

Even within your Bureau of Supernatural Affairs... it's not necessarily completely airtight.

Although your commendation ceremony was held in a low-key manner, quite a few people participated, and word of it inevitably leaked out.

"That's alarmist! Shut up!"

Lu Qian's eyes flashed with anger, and she suddenly raised her palm and slashed horizontally.

Her palm was as sharp as a knife, and a blazing golden blade of energy burst forth, instantly shattering half of the porcelain cups on the opposite table!

This is the Pavilion Chief's Evil-Slaying Blade Qi, which can still be unleashed even without carrying a supernatural sword.

But the sound from the speaker continued to come out steadily:

"You are impulsive and don't like to hear the truth."

Well, let me tell you something else... I've been in contact with another person on your team.

"His name is Wang Shuo."

"Unfortunately... he's not as quick-witted as this kid, and he doesn't know much either."

"Wang Shuo!"

Tang Zhe and Li Yunfan's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they glared angrily ahead.

"What did you do to Wang Shuo?"

Xu Lindong frowned as well.

It seems he's not the only one being targeted.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him."

The voice from the speaker carried a hint of mockery, "Jiangcheng is, after all, your territory under the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. We are weak and need to protect ourselves, and we don't want to make a big fuss."

"But now... I should have obtained some useful clues."

"Although, it's not entirely certain yet..."

Xu Lindong immediately felt that cold gaze focus on him again, and a strong sense of discomfort surged through his body.

"boom!!"

The fire in his hand suddenly flared up, almost forming a ring of flames, burning away the surrounding chill.

This domineering control of the flames caused Tang Zhe, who was standing nearby, to take a step back abruptly, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"Dong-ge's control over the stove fire has improved again... It's probably not long before he can truly control the arrival of the Kitchen God."

Li Yunfan, who was also a kitchen official, showed surprise and admiration in his eyes.

Lu Qian glanced at Xu Lindong in surprise, then stared at the figure opposite her and demanded sharply, "What else do you want to do? Do you want to die like those people who died a few days ago?"

A low, hoarse laugh came from the speaker: "Sending yourself to your death? All I left here is a curse."

We won't let you catch us so easily again...

Next time, it will be your turn to suffer a crushing defeat.

Before the words were finished, a short scream suddenly came from the speaker.

As if something extremely terrifying had occurred to the other side, the sound suddenly stopped.

Almost simultaneously, all the water glasses and porcelain on the table in the private room shattered.

The faint shadowy figures of the underworld beings on it also mysteriously vanished without a trace.

The gloomy atmosphere vanished instantly, and the mottled marks on the wall quickly returned to their original state.

If it weren't for the mess on the table, it would seem like an illusion, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Um?"

Everyone, including Xu Lindong, was stunned for a moment.

The intense pressure and tension that had just been there vanished instantly.

Only Lu Qian visibly relaxed, even a smile appearing on her lips, as she slowly loosened her grip on her left hand.

Xu Lindong looked over in surprise and saw that she was holding a pager with a peculiar design in her hand.

This is a pager specially made by the Department of Mysteries, which looks a lot like the pagers from years ago; he had seen them before.

"When...?"

He was puzzled, but then he remembered that when Lu Qian unleashed the Evil-Slaying Blade Qi, her left hand seemed to have made a subtle movement.

At this moment, Lu Qian turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration:

"You surprise me...you always seem to surprise me!"
