I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Once he was away from the private room, Xu Lindong felt the Tower of Babel on his neck quiet down.

This made him realize that there might still be a problem in that private room, and that there might still be some medium left behind by the underworld messengers.

But he has no intention of trying to contact or expose them again.

That might be a trap.

Since even Captain Lu didn't notice anything unusual about the private room, if he were to act differently, it would not only be difficult for Captain Lu to explain, but it would also increase the suspicions of the evil society members.

Therefore, he immediately left the private room, intending to turn back and remind Captain Lu to apply to the department for another inspection of the private room, citing the possibility that the "curse might have lingering consequences."

As for whether the department will agree or send someone, that's not something he can guarantee; he has already done his best.

"Now it seems that those lunatics from the evil society aren't as easy to deal with as Captain Lu said... at least their methods of hiding in the shadows are indeed very covert."

"That's their advantage; by staying in the shadows, they know exactly how to use that advantage."

Xu Lindong pondered these thoughts before entering the Mountain and Sea Pavilion with his teammates.

...

Soon, the celebration banquet came to an end.

Since it was Young Master Lin who was paying, Xu Lindong specially ordered a bottle of Maozi with a level four extraordinary potion added to try it out.

The meal ultimately cost over 60,000 yuan, with drinks alone accounting for 30,000 yuan.

Even Xiao Qing, who doesn't usually drink, made an exception and took a small sip. Li Yunfan was quite tipsy and even took the empty bottle with him when he left.

However, no sooner had the banquet ended than bad news arrived.

Team Leader Jiang personally took action and indeed caught up with the underworld official, severely injuring him.

However, the other party had accomplices nearby who were there to meet them, and they managed to escape by sheer luck.

"Team Leader Jiang is currently tracking them down with Team Leader Shu from Team Two. You guys go home first, I'll go check on the situation."

At the entrance of the Dongxing Hotel, Lu Qian gave instructions with a serious expression.

"Captain Lu, shall we go together?" Tang Zhe suggested.

"no."

Lu Qian shook her head, "This mission wasn't originally assigned to our team three; it was Team Jiang leading Team two to carry it out."

Teams one, three, and four are all on standby.

In the past, I only observed and did not easily get involved.

You cannot go; all of you must go back and await orders.

Tang Zhe was helpless.

Xu Lindong's heart sank.

He had a premonition that Yin Shi and Jiang Bo were both experts at the Sequence Eight level and wouldn't be easy to defeat.

In the Xia Kingdom, the Sequencers of the Divine Bureau are indeed powerful, and the team captains are no ordinary people either; otherwise, they would not have been able to launch a swift counterattack and severely damage the enemy despite being ambushed.

However, the other side was hiding in the shadows, fighting a guerrilla war.

Taking down this bunch of rats won't be easy; in fact, they might even be caught off guard and lose some of their men in a last-ditch effort.

"Let's go back first."

Lu Qian looked at Xu Lindong and said:

"These rats are being chased by us right now and they're too busy to take care of themselves for the time being, so don't worry."

"Um."

Xu Lindong nodded and reminded Lu Qian to apply to the department to investigate the remaining curse aura in the private room.

Then I watched her walk away quickly with her long legs.

The group then dispersed.

Just as Xu Lindong was about to hail a taxi, a flashy sports car roared to a stop in front of him.

Lin Xiao, who had only parted ways not long ago, jogged out of the car, eagerly opened the door, and, mimicking Li Yunfan's tone, invited him:

"Brother Dong, where are you going? I'll give you a ride!"

Xu Lindong's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand in a calm tone:

"Don't call me Brother Dong, we're not that close yet. I'll take a taxi myself, you go ahead."

He could naturally see that this young master Lin wanted to curry favor with him.

It's simply because they're afraid of being controlled by the nightmare tactics of the underworld officials again, and they want to find a powerful backer.

But he's too busy to take care of anyone else.

That slap just now woke the other person up; that was already considered giving them face.

Lin Xiao, having been rebuffed, remained unperturbed and continued with a respectful, playful smile:

"Alright, alright, then take care, Brother Dong. If you ever need Xiao Lin's help in the future, just let me know!"

After saying that, he didn't press the matter further, turned around, got into his car, and left.

"He seems to know how to get along with people... If needed in the future, we might consider getting to know him a couple of times."

Xu Lindong watched the taillights disappear into the distance, pondering to himself.

Lin Xiao is decisive and tactful, a completely different person from when he was controlled by the nightmare of the underworld messengers. This made him re-evaluate the value of this person.

Besides family and those you truly care about, everyone has their own value in society.

This value will naturally be judged by others, whether it is worth utilizing, and whether cooperation is possible.

This may sound blunt, but it reflects reality.

...

Half an hour later, Xu Lindong took a taxi to the Department of the Supernatural.

He retrieved the repaired Chaofan motorcycle before riding it back to Mingjiang Community.

Being targeted by the Salvation Society made him increasingly uneasy.

Although he wasn't the only one being targeted; Tang Zhe and his group were also among them.

But he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one among them.

The escaped underworld official, in particular, seems to have become suspicious of him.

This makes the situation more complicated and tricky.

If he were alone.

At worst, he can just move into the Department of the Supernatural; safety won't be a problem.

But he couldn't let go of Uncle Yi, Aunt Zhou, and Yi Qianxun.

"In this fantastical world, the most direct way to solve problems is to increase your strength."

"If I were already at Sequence Nine, I could move my whole family into the Divine Realm compound, and I would be much better able to protect myself when facing enemies at Sequence Eight."

Xu Lindong pondered this in his mind, but quickly suppressed his eagerness.

My cultivation speed is already fast enough.

However, even with all the necessary materials prepared, it would still take at least four or five months to break through to the ninth rank of the Gatekeeper.

Because both comprehending the Kitchen God's ability to "report" behind people's backs and facilitating the complete digestion of the Kitchen God's charcoal, as well as learning and comprehending the authority of the Door Gods' sequence, require time.

There's no point in rushing it.

The only way to quickly improve one's strength right now is to integrate the extraordinary substance being refined in the Tower of Babel, and also cultivate the zombie path.

"If that underworld official really dares to come knocking on my door... I'll take out my weapon and stab him."

Let's see if he can withstand the weapon's defenseless cutting attack after he's severely injured!

With this in mind, Xu Lindong felt a little more at ease and started going upstairs.

...

When I got home, it seemed like I had just finished dinner.

Aunt Zhou was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Uncle Yi was squatting on the balcony, feeding the koi in the tank with a small spoon.

"Dongzi is back?"

Yi Guoqiang peeked out from the balcony and replied with a smile, "Have you eaten your fill outside? There's still some beef soup hot in the pot."

"I'm already full."

Xu Lindong glanced into the living room and found that Yi Qianxun was not there.

Just as he was about to ask, he sensed a powerful aura emanating from her room.

"Is Sister Xun cultivating?"

He was slightly surprised.

Normally she would be relaxing at this time, playing games, but now she's making a point of curling up.

It seems that what she said seriously that day wasn't just a casual remark, but rather a genuine declaration of her determination to work hard.

"Sister Xun is also working hard for this family..."

Xu Lindong felt a warmth in his heart. He glanced at the leisurely Uncle Yi and Aunt Zhou and temporarily suppressed his plans to move in the future.

Let's talk about it after he's made all the arrangements.

Back in his room, he opened the intranet and continued to research information about promotions through the underground route, making preparations in advance.

Once promoted to the tenth level of the Underground Sequence [Zombie], his ability to protect himself and fight against other beings or evil creatures of the Underground Sequence will be greatly enhanced.

"To advance to the tenth rank of zombie, one liter of blood from a supernatural creature that is less than 72 hours old must be prepared in advance..."

"We also need to prepare calming incense to suppress the bloodlust and frenzied desires of the newly born zombies..."

"It is best to choose a place with yin energy for promotion. Within a week after the success, the cold, corpse-like aura on your body will be difficult to conceal."

The corpse aura and zombie characteristics usually subside gradually over five to seven days, but they can erupt again if the supernatural substance backfires…

As he browsed the information on the intranet, Xu Lindong's gaze sharpened slightly.

"The blood of extraordinary beings... In fact, we sequence extraordinary beings are also extraordinary beings."

However, this mainly refers to the extraordinary creatures that emerged from the sinkhole…

"This is probably to prevent the zombies from getting human blood on their first bite, which would amplify their bloodlust and increase the risk of them going out of control and attacking humans around them when the supernatural substance backfires."

"The Concentration Incense is for suppressing the backlash during advancement. I have the Tower of Babel, so I don't need it..."

"It's a place with auspicious feng shui and malevolent energy, and it's filled with the aura of death... perhaps..."

Xu Lindong had a sudden inspiration: "That low-risk ancient town ancestral hall sinkhole, full of zombies, could be a good place to cover up a promotion if we go there for a mission soon..."

Thinking of this, he had a headache again. "It shouldn't be difficult to exchange merits for the blood of extraordinary creatures in the company, but it will leave a record."

In addition, this corpse aura makes it easy for others to detect that I am in the advancement tunnel...

After a moment's thought, he abandoned his plan to obtain resources from within the company and two other paths came to mind.

"Sister Xun should be able to exchange for the blood of extraordinary beings from the Domination Bureau..."

"And then there's Lin Xiao. Although he's an ordinary person, he has a very strong spirit and energy. He must have used a lot of resources to cultivate."

We can try to see if he can get his hands on this thing... and also check out his capabilities...

Xu Lindong pulled out a business card...
