I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Faced with Lu Qian's admiring gaze, Xu Lindong was somewhat taken aback. "Captain, your current state is quite unexpected. What were you doing just now...?"

Lu Qian brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled calmly:

"I used my actions as a cover to notify Captain Jiang to locate the underworld messenger's position."

Don't underestimate us captains. Within the Xia Kingdom, the Divine Realm is the number one force among those with extraordinary abilities. The Evil Society can't cause too much trouble.

She paused, then said frankly:

"Actually, several days ago, Captain Jiang speculated that if there were still remnants of the evil society lurking in the city, they would definitely target those of us who had participated in the Qinglong Temple mission."

So Captain Jiang and I discussed it and decided to use a counter-strategy to lure them out and eliminate them completely.

"Huh?" Tang Zhe and Li Yunfan were both taken aback.

Tang Zhe's expression was particularly grim, clearly realizing that he might also be being watched.

"Don't panic."

Lu Qian spoke up to comfort him, looking at Xu Lindong:

"We hadn't found any trace of these rats for the past few days, but you gave us a pleasant surprise today."

Xu Lindong shook his head and pointed to Lin Xiao, who was still somewhat dazed at the door:

"I only realized something was wrong after I had a conflict with this young master Lin."

I've encountered curses from underworld officials before, and even used the Kitchen God's sedan chair to transfer them, so I'm quite sensitive to this kind of aura.

Lu Qian understood immediately, and her last trace of doubt dissipated. She nodded and said, "This underworld official is too arrogant. He thinks that we can't do anything to him just because he left behind a curse aura."

But they can obtain evil and strange objects, and the Sili also has divine and supernatural objects to assist them.

By now, Captain Jiang has probably already used his supernatural artifact to subdue him.

She paused, staring intently at Xu Lindong, her expression turning serious: "However... the last words of that underworld official sounded like they thought the evil entity's weapon would target you, or perhaps they mistakenly believed it was in your possession. You need to be careful."

"What?"

Xu Lindong's heart skipped a beat, but he still tried to remain calm. "How could an evil artifact be here with me?"

"Of course not."

Lu Qian shook her head. "When Captain Jiang tested your energy and spirit a few days ago, he already confirmed it. But these cult members might just be guessing."

Her tone softened slightly, "Don't worry, as long as Captain Jiang takes down that underworld official, his wild guesses won't get out. You're still safe."

"So that's why Captain Jiang had his energy and spirit tested that day..."

Xu Lindong was secretly alarmed. "This is really deep. And the department actually has a treasure that can directly pinpoint the location of the underworld officials..."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The evil artifact was indeed in his hands, but since it concerned the Tower of Babel, this secret must not be exposed.

From now on, we must be more careful.

"Captain Lu, the underworld messenger just mentioned Wang Shuo..."

Tang Zhe suddenly reminded him.

Upon recalling this, the group's expressions changed slightly, and Li Yunfan immediately tried to contact Wang Shuo.

But before the call could even connect, a voice came from the doorway:

"Captain, what are you all doing gathered here?"

When everyone turned around, they realized that Wang Shuo and Xiao Qing were standing at the door.

"Wang Shuo, are you alright?"

Tang Zhe walked over quickly and recounted what had just happened.

Wang Shuo looked bewildered: "I didn't encounter any strange people on the way, nor did I talk to anyone about anything at the company..."

"Captain Lu, this..." Li Yunfan was also surprised.

Xu Lindong and Lu Qian were not surprised by the result.

Xu Lindong pointed to Lin Xiao and the woman who had come to their senses at the door, and said:

"You must be like them, bewitched by the underworld messengers."

In that state, you might be talking in your sleep, not even knowing what you're saying.

"That's right."

Lu Qian nodded in confirmation, "The underworld messengers do indeed have the ability of 'nightmare,' which is like deep hypnosis. They can control people in a state between dreaming and not dreaming, making them do things they can't control or say things they've been hiding in their hearts."

"However, this underworld messenger is very cautious."

He uses ordinary people as a medium to get close to you by exploiting unexpected events.

In this way, you were approached by him without any warning, achieving his goal, and it was difficult for him to suspect anything afterward.

Because you don't know these ordinary people at all, even if their personalities change, you probably won't notice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo's expression immediately changed.

He remembered encountering an elderly woman who had fainted in the elevator before, and he had kindly helped her up.

In retrospect, it was probably during that "nightmare" that I was struck.

"Nightmare..."

Xu Lindong glanced at Lin Xiao and the other person beside him, who had regained consciousness and were filled with fear, and said nothing more.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lu Qian clapped her hands and said in a relaxed tone, "Alright, the underworld messengers should have been dealt with by Captain Jiang. Xiao Xu deserves credit for this."

"Don't bother with those long faces, today's a celebration banquet, let's go eat!"

She was clearly in a good mood.

After briefly instructing the hotel manager to handle the situation and not to say anything to outsiders, he led everyone towards the Mountain and Sea Pavilion.

Just as Xu Lindong reached the door, Lin Xiao stopped him.

"Um?"

Xu Lindong glanced indifferently at the lingering handprint on the other person's face and said coldly:

"What, you want me to apologize?"

Ahead, Lu Qian and the others who had just stepped out also stopped and turned around, their gazes unusually calm.

They were serious and solemn when facing the underworld officials.

But when it comes to ordinary people, even wealthy businessmen, the crowd remains calm.

Those who are exceptional in the sequence are essentially officials, and their status is inherently very special.

While wealthy businessmen may appear glamorous among ordinary people, they are still just ordinary people.

If it weren't for the unique system of the Xia Kingdom and the strict rules of the Department of Divine Wonders, it wouldn't be difficult for many superhumans to make money.

This is why, especially among those with extraordinary abilities within the system, many may not have the same financial resources as some wealthy businessmen.

But status and privileged access are already on a different level.

Meeting Xu Lindong's cold gaze, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly forced a smile and waved his hand apologetically:

"No, no! It was a misunderstanding just now. I think I was blinded by anger... I only understood what happened after everyone explained it to me."

He bowed solemnly:

"I'm the one who should apologize."

Please give me a chance to make amends. All expenses incurred by all executives at the Dongxing Hotel today will be paid by me, Lin Xiao.

Please let me make amends.

"Oh?"

Xu Lindong raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

Looking at the clear handprint on the other person's face, I couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

I've already graciously accepted your hospitality, and yet this young master Lin actually took the initiative to apologize and humbly treat me to a meal. That's quite impressive.

He glanced at the woman beside him, whose cheeks were also red and swollen.

It wasn't that he was particularly ruthless, but rather that his energy and spirit far surpassed that of ordinary people, and his strength was far beyond what an average physique could withstand.

Even a casual slap is enough to make an ordinary person's face swell and turn red; if more force is used, the neck may even break.

He asked with a smile, "So, what about you? Do you have any objections?"

The woman hurriedly followed suit and bowed.

Xu Lindong waved his hand, no longer bothering with this ordinary person, and turned to look at Lu Qian at the door, saying to Lin Xiao:

"You can apologize, but if you want to pay the bill, you'll have to ask our Captain Lu for his opinion and see if you're qualified to pay for her."

Lu Qian leaned against the door with her arms crossed, her proud figure accentuated by her curves. She smiled faintly at the words spoken.

"Alright, stop flattering me. If someone's willing to pay, why wouldn't I be happy?"

Xu Lindong shrugged: "I'm just afraid you'll make a mistake..."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door, leaving behind the words:

"Young Master Lin, you can handle this yourself."

"Please don't call me Young Master Lin, just call me Little Lin. This is my business card."

Lin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, handing over his business card with both hands, his face full of eagerness.

He was in good spirits and appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

The thought that he was being manipulated by the underworld officials without his knowledge sent chills down his spine, and he naturally wanted to get closer to Xu Lindong and the other executives.

Xu Lindong casually accepted the business card and quickened his pace as he left the private room.

Because the Tower of Babel around his neck continues to tremble...
