I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

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

Three days ago, Xu Lindong took out Lin Xiao's business card, casually sent him a text message, and then stayed at home in seclusion to cultivate, without ever going out again.

After three days of cultivation, he made great progress, raising his energy and spirit to 51.2, which is considered a level 50 strongman.

In addition, we received two pieces of good news.

First, the low-sequence extraordinary matter behind the tunnel gate of the Tower of Babel finally solidified completely.

Secondly, Lu Qian brought news that Jiang Bo led a team to wipe out the remaining members of the evil society hiding in Jiangcheng.

Three dead and two injured.

Although the underworld official did not die, he was severely injured and forced to retreat, and was completely driven out of Jiangcheng.

In this way, Xu Lindong's hidden worries were temporarily dispelled.

...

This day, in Mingjiang Residential Area.

Early in the morning.

The doorbell rang.

Yi Guoqiang had just finished tidying up the living room when he heard the sound and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a young man stood outside, carrying two beautifully packaged gift boxes. Behind him was a man who looked like a driver, carrying a silver metal box that looked like an insulated box or something similar.

Yi Guoqiang was taken aback at first, but then, in keeping with his professional ethics before retirement, he quickly scanned the other person with his eyes.

"Who are you......?"

The other person was dressed casually, in crisp fabric, with a simple yet sophisticated style. The watch on his wrist... he vaguely remembered seeing it in a shop window, with several zeros after the price tag.

This young man must be either rich or noble.

"Hello, Uncle."

The young man smiled politely, bowed slightly, and spoke in a humble tone, "My name is Lin Xiao. May I ask if Executive Officer Xu Lindong lives here? I am his friend."

"Ah, yes, he's at home."

Yi Guoqiang was surprised. He stepped aside to let the person into the room and sit down. While pouring water, he kept his eyes on the other person and prepared to call Xu Lindong.

At this moment, Xu Lindong had already pushed open the door and walked out.

He had just finished a night of cultivation, his breathing was even, and he still carried a faint, lingering aura of cultivation. His eyes were clear and bright.

Lin Xiao immediately stood up: "Brother Dong! Everything you asked for is ready."

He pointed to the silver box, "As you said, it contains one and a half liters. I prepared a little extra, in case it's not enough."

Xu Lindong's gaze first swept over the pile of obviously valuable gifts on the table, among which there was even a level four extraordinary potion.

He didn't ask for anything else.

His brows furrowed immediately: "Didn't I tell you to call me before you came, and we'd meet outside? And why did you bring all this extra stuff?"

Lin Xiao's smile froze, and he quickly explained with a smile, "Brother Dong, don't be angry!"

It was my oversight. I thought it wouldn't be appropriate to visit empty-handed for the first time, so... I just brought some of the extra tonics I had at home.

I really didn't mean anything by it!

"Take everything back."

Xu Lindong interrupted him, shaking his head and saying, "Let's go outside and talk first."

Lin Xiao looked troubled, and opened his mouth as if to say something.

But when he met Xu Lindong's suddenly darkening gaze, any glimmer of hope or attempt to get closer to him vanished instantly.

He dared not argue any further and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Brother Dong."

He turned around and winked at the driver.

The two hurriedly carried the gift box on the table, along with the two conspicuous vials of medicine, back to their original location.

"Uncle Yi, I'll go outside with my friend to talk."

Xu Lindong turned his head and smiled at Yi Guoqiang.

The imposing aura he exuded in front of Lin Xiao vanished completely in front of his own family.

"Okay, it's alright, Dongzi. You go out and do your thing. Remember to pick up Qianxun tonight."

Yi Guoqiang waved his hand.

Only after watching Lin Xiao and the driver clear everything out of the door, and then following them out and closing the door behind them, did the tense lines on his face finally relax, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

He was actually a little worried just now.

With heavy family burdens and Dongzi's recent promotion, coupled with his youthful ambition, what if he gets blinded by these sweet words and goes astray...?

Looking at it now, this child has a sense of justice and can stay calm.

...

Downstairs, Xu Lindong got into Lin Xiao's car.

"I've obtained the extraordinary blood. I remember your kindness and I'm very happy."

Xu Lindong looked at the other person and said, "But I'm not happy about having so much stuff delivered."

He spoke calmly, but his words were sharp: "If I'm really reported, even if I don't suffer a major setback, it will inevitably leave a stain on my future career in the department."

The Department of Divine Wonders is a pillar institution of the Xia Kingdom. Its subordinates need to support their families and improve their abilities. They take on some jobs on the side to earn extra money, and even accept small gifts. As long as it is not excessive, the department usually turns a blind eye.

But openly accepting valuable gifts crosses the line.

What the company fears most is that some executives are infiltrated and bribed by outside forces with ulterior motives.

Lin Xiao's expression hardened, and he immediately straightened his posture: "Brother Dong, it was my oversight. I was only thinking that I couldn't come empty-handed, and I didn't consider this aspect in detail. I definitely won't do it again next time."

Xu Lindong nodded, his expression softening slightly.

He just felt that Lin Xiao was a good person, tactful and quick-witted, and worth getting to know.

That's why I contacted them three days ago.

At this point, he said, "How much is this blood? I'll transfer it to you."

"One liter costs around 30,000 yuan."

Lin Xiao answered quickly, "But my channels are cheaper. Dong Ge only needs to give me 15,000 yuan, at cost price."

Xu Lindong felt relieved.

He checked the market price, and 30,000 was indeed the market price.

The other party cut the price in half, clearly doing him a favor, but they didn't actually make things difficult for him.

He can still afford 15,000 now.

"OK."

He didn't refuse much, took out his phone, and transferred the money, saying, "The money is here."

"Received it, Dong-ge is very straightforward."

Lin Xiao smiled and agreed, feeling much more at ease.

He knew very well that in the eyes of the rich, money was the least valuable thing.

What's truly valuable is a strong network of connections.

The personal connections and relationships they represent are the most valuable form of currency.

He values ​​not only Xu Lindong's current strength, but also his future potential.

Why did Xu Lindong notice the curse aura emanating from the underworld messenger, which went unnoticed by so many other executives present?

In his view, this is ability and potential.

He originally intended to give this deal away for free.

Using a relatively small investment to gain the favor of a potential powerhouse seems like a worthwhile investment.

Now that the delivery failed, and money was received for the goods, in a sense, it's actually a "loss".

However, at least the favors have now been properly established.

He didn't bother to ask Xu Lindong, a kitchen official, what exactly he needed the extraordinary blood for.

Sometimes, it's wiser not to ask.

He immediately changed the subject, tentatively asking about the underworld messenger from last time: "Brother Dong, about that incident at the hotel last time... was it resolved?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lindong glanced at him with a half-smile: "The company should have sent someone to check that private room at your Dongxing Hotel afterward."

What, you still don't understand the situation?

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed up, "What does Brother Dong mean...?"

Xu Lindong nodded slightly: "Those lunatics from the evil society have been driven out of Jiangcheng."

For now, things will be peaceful for a while.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lindong specifically mentioned the private room at the Dongxing Hotel.

This was the trigger that led to the second defeat of those members of the evil society.

He immediately sensed something strange about the private room.

Later, Lu Qian was reminded to apply to the department to investigate any remaining potential curse hazards.

As a result, the company took this matter very seriously.

The next day, a highly skilled expert from the underground sect was brought in, along with a supernatural object, to thoroughly examine the private room.

In the end, they actually found the medium for the curse left by the underworld officials inside.

It was through this medium that Jiang Bo was able to pinpoint the location of the underworld messenger again and ultimately wipe out the group.

So, all things considered, he has done another good deed.

Today, he was going to the company to claim this credit and also to collect his equipment.

Based on the week-long timeframe Jiang Bo mentioned last time, and the personnel list issued yesterday, we can understand the situation.

His first task after being officially appointed to a permanent position—cleaning up the sinkhole area—is about to begin.

After chatting with Lin Xiao for a few more minutes, Xu Lindong got out of the car carrying the silver box containing the blood of the extraordinary creature.

Instead of going home, he mounted his motorcycle and carefully secured the silver box into the rear storage compartment.

He then turned the handle and drove straight toward the Department of the Supernatural.

Regarding the advancement of the zombie sequence through the tunnel route.

Xu Lindong searched through all the information, weighed the pros and cons repeatedly, and finally made up his mind.

Let's hold the promotion ceremony in the ancestral hall and sinkhole area of ​​that ancient town.

In any case, that sinkhole area was originally a place inhabited by zombies and wandering souls, with a strong yin energy, which was a perfect environment for advancement.

Moreover, he was surrounded by zombies, and his newly ascended corpse aura blended in with them, ironically providing excellent cover...
