I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Early the next morning.

After cultivating all night, Xu Lindong's consciousness returned to his body, and he clearly felt the improvement brought about by this cultivation.

After taking two bottles of Level 3 Extraordinary Medicine for two consecutive days, his energy and spirit finally broke through the sixty mark, reaching 60.3.

Moreover, the drug has not been fully digested, and the absorption process is not immediate, but rather a slow increase that lasts for several days.

"Once the effects of the medicine are fully absorbed, my energy and spirit should reach 63... Cultivating with medicine is indeed fast, but..."

Xu Lindong internally examined his stomach and found that a significant amount of the "stove god carbon" had been digested.

"Taking too many drugs seems to increase the risk of backlash from supernatural substances when using sequence abilities..."

Fortunately, I've been using the Tower of Babel to suppress the backlash while practicing "The Descent of the Kitchen God" recently.

Frequent cultivation and the improvement of his essence, energy, and spirit have enabled him to use this ability smoothly, and he has also digested a lot of the extraordinary substances in his body.

Xu Lindong felt gratified.

Although using the Tower of Babel to suppress the backlash consumed a lot of merit points, I now only have 1535 points left.

But in return, one gains mastery of a powerful sequence ability and the ability to continuously digest and absorb extraordinary substances.

The more extraordinary matter one digests, the lower the risk of backlash, the higher the success rate of future advancement, and the stronger one's strength will naturally become.

These are all advantages of the Tower of Babel.

He took a deep breath and got out of bed.

His abundant energy and spirit made his five senses far beyond those of ordinary people, and he could clearly hear the breathing in the next room.

Even the slightest tremor of the ear can detect subtle movements from more than ten floors above.

He got up, quickly washed up, packed the several packs of soot he had prepared, slung a compressed backpack full of soot over his shoulder, and tiptoed out the door.

"Click!"

The door behind me suddenly opened.

Xu Lindong turned around and saw Yi Qianxun standing at the door wearing bunny pajamas.

She yawned, casually tidied her hair, her posture languid, her tone seemingly nonchalant:

"Dongzi, are we going on a mission today? Be careful."

"Yes." Xu Lindong nodded. "This time I might be gone for a few days. If Uncle Yi asks..."

"Okay, okay, go quickly! I'll take care of things at home."

Yi Qianxun waved his hand impatiently and quickly went into the bathroom in his slippers.

Xu Lindong shrugged, put on his shoes, and went out.

Not long after, the roar of an engine came from downstairs.

By the bathroom window, Yi Qianxun leaned against the window, watching Xu Lindong ride away on his bicycle, and secretly clenched her fist.

"Dongzi, I'm waiting for you to come back... I have a big surprise for you."

……

Headquarters of the Jiangcheng Supernatural Bureau.

The spacious lobby of the central office building was already filled with executives who had come from other cities as well as the western and southern districts of Jiangcheng.

After arriving by bicycle, Xu Lindong removed the exhaust pipe from the large chimney and stuffed the metal bottle containing the blood of the extraordinary creature into his backpack.

Then, he picked up the exhaust pipe and swaggered into the lobby.

A receptionist at the entrance checked his identity and then led him inside.

As soon as he entered, Xu Lindong saw that there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall.

Even before getting close, their keen senses had already detected strong fluctuations of energy and spirit.

At the same time, the executives, some standing and some sitting in the hall, all turned their gazes toward Xu Lindong as he walked in, quietly sizing him up.

"A handsome young man, full of energy and spirit, but the weapon he's using is quite unique..."

"The executive officer of the East District should be named Xu Lindong. Our team leader Zhou praised him a lot after we came back from the last mission in Jiangcheng, and even told us to learn from him."

"The East District has produced a remarkable newcomer this year. Our North District batch... hasn't seen anyone stand out yet."

Whispers came from several corners, and glances were subtly directed at Xu Lindong.

Although the sound was soft, it did not escape Xu Lindong's notice.

He pretended not to hear, glanced around but didn't see anyone he knew, and then walked to the sofa and sat down by himself.

Not long after he sat down, a man who looked somewhat "streetwise" came over and sat down next to him without any politeness.

"Hey bro, I'm Ding Jian from the West Division, a Transcendentalist through the Underground Path. Let's get acquainted!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, his palm revealing a sickly paleness.

"Underground passage, sequence ten... 'Zombie'?"

Xu Lindong glanced at him sideways.

Those who use underground passages to become extraordinary individuals are already rare in the Department of the Supernatural, and those with such unconventional personalities are even rarer.

However, this at least indicates that the other party is very healthy and has digested the extraordinary substances very well.

The old man he hit with his superb motorcycle was clearly on the verge of losing control due to the backlash of supernatural matter, and his zombie aura far exceeded that of a living person.

He paused for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with the other person.

Suddenly, a cold sensation came over me, as if I were holding the hand of a dead person.

Xu Lindong immediately withdrew his hand, and then heard Ding Jian laugh, "I heard someone mention you just now. You seem to be very skilled. How about we team up after entering the sinkhole area?"

The reminder from Lu Qian's file immediately came to Xu Lindong's mind.

Once you enter the sinkhole area, aside from the initial mission phase where you act together, it's best to team up with someone you know very well when you're acting alone afterwards.

If not, it's better to act alone.

He immediately smiled noncommittally: "I'm just a newbie, not particularly skilled. We'll see about team formation once we're inside."

"Alright! Actually, this is my second time entering this sinkhole area, so I'm quite familiar with the situation in the team..."

Ding Jian began to introduce himself as if he were a chatterbox.

"The core area of ​​the sinkhole is around the ancestral hall in the ancient town. The surrounding area is covered by the extraordinary power of the sinkhole, and the entire ancient town is under the influence of the field."

Therefore, once we enter the ancient town area, it's like stepping into the outer perimeter of the area, where we may encounter wandering zombies at any time.

The further you go in, the greater the chance of encountering wandering spirits…

Xu Lindong listened quietly.

Although he already had a general understanding of these circumstances, Ding Jian explained them in great detail.

It was even mentioned that when the area is so dark that visibility is less than ten meters, it often means that you have gone deep inside and are likely to encounter wandering spirits.

Time passed quickly as the two talked.

Other executives who had not yet arrived also arrived one after another, making a total of eleven people including them.

One man and one woman in particular attracted attention.

The man, dressed in white, exuded confidence, his waist bulging, and his posture somewhat ostentatious.

The woman was tall and slender, carrying a large sword on her back, and her attire was quite similar to Lu Qian's.

"Good heavens, Lei Chong from Chongshan City and Pang Jia from Chuan City have also arrived..."

It seems they intend to climb the ranks on the Divine Ranking before advancing to Sequence Nine.

Ding Jian clearly recognized the two men, and his tone was somewhat surprised.

"Indeed very strong."

Xu Lindong looked at the two who had just arrived and could clearly feel a sense of pressure on their spirit and energy.

His own energy and spirit had exceeded sixty. Apart from the other two newcomers, many veteran executives present were no better than him, and many were even inferior to him.

However, the pressure emanating from the two people opposite was still evident.

Their energy and spirit are probably over ninety, approaching the threshold for advancing to the ninth rank.

Just then, an even more imposing middle-aged man walked into the hall.

"Team Yuan!"

"I didn't expect you to be in charge this time, Captain Yuan!"

When the middle-aged man arrived, everyone stood up to greet him.

This middle-aged man is Yuan Heng, the leader of this cleaning mission and the "Pavilion Chief" of the Humanity Sequence Nine.

Yuan Heng entered without hesitation, immediately instructing staff to distribute a watch-like recording device and a miniature headset to each person. His gaze then swept over Xu Lindong, and he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone should wear the recorder and miniature headset."

Once inside the ancient town, the recorder will record everything you do in real time, whether you kill zombies, wandering spirits, or other evil creatures, or complete other tasks.

Ultimately, your merits and rewards will be calculated based on your performance.

As he spoke, many veterans had already deftly put their recorders on their wrists.

Xu Lindong had also heard of this thing.

He glanced at the recorder, which looked like a child's watch, and casually put it on his wrist.

By pressing a button, you can see the task list and the corresponding rewards.

"This time we're heading out of the city to the sealed-off ancient towns and rural areas outside the city. Bring your own weapons. If everything's alright, we're off."

Yuan Heng said.

"Team Leader Yuan, it's almost time, let's go."

A man carrying a composite bow stood up and spoke.

Xu Lindong glanced around.

Most of the armed people used knives or bows and arrows, and a few seemed to be equipped with firearms. He was the only one carrying a chimney exhaust pipe.

However, he wasn't embarrassed.

It's a bit strange, but as long as it saves my life, that's fine.

The chimney exhaust pipe is an extraordinary component that helps to multiply the smoke and fire from the stove; using it to smash a zombie is like hitting it with a blunt object.

Ordinary firearms and bows and arrows, unless they are specially made pistols like Tang Lei's, equipped with extraordinary bullets, pose less of a threat to extraordinary creatures than exhaust pipes.

Soon, the group boarded a bus and headed straight out of the city.

In the car, Yuan Heng, sitting next to Xu Lindong, suddenly turned his head and said:

"You must be Xu Lindong? After this mission, would you be interested in developing your career here at the Jiangcheng headquarters?"
