I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

"You ask me what qualifications I have?"

Xu Lindong scoffed coldly, and suddenly his stomach and intestines turned golden red. The fire in his body suddenly erupted, and the flames danced wildly. Even the tips of his hair were ignited with dazzling flames.

The raging flames, like a giant pillar piercing the sky, instantly devoured the layers upon layers of illusory human energy gathered by Ji Huaisheng.

All the captured figures crumbled into ashes in the raging fire!

"Strength is the foundation of qualification!"

"ah!!"

Ji Huaisheng let out a shrill roar, his flesh sizzling and steaming.

If it weren't for the layers upon layers of human energy that barely protected him, he would have already been burned to a charred corpse.

Even so, he couldn't hold on for long.

"The Kitchen God has descended!?"

Gu Yi, who was striding closer, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his pupils constricting in shock, but it was too late.

Xu Lindong suddenly took a step forward, his figure flashing like a flame, his right hand like an iron clamp, locking onto Gu Yi's throat.

"Wait! Stop!"

Gu Yi immediately retreated in horror, his arms surging with flames to block the attack.

But Xu Lindong's fist was even more ferocious and violent than the stove fire.

The crimson flames seemed to solidify into a dragon shape, forcefully tearing through the fire curtain constructed by the opponent.

With their five fingers joined together, they firmly gripped Gu Yi's neck.

boom!!

The fiery figure rapidly blurred in place.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two muffled thuds, like hammers striking a wall.

Gu Yi and his companion were slammed against the alley wall, their heads hitting the bricks, the excruciating pain and burning sensation penetrating to their very bones.

Their pupils contracted sharply, and amidst the violent tremors in their minds, only instinctive fear swept over them.

It turns out that Xu Lindong was so powerful that he could quickly clear out a large number of zombies because he had mastered the "Descendant of the Kitchen God" technique.

They have seen only a small number of people who have mastered the Kitchen God's core ability, "reporting blessings."

However, those who have mastered the Kitchen God's ultimate combat move, "The Descent of the Kitchen God," have only been seen in videos on the internal network, and are extremely rare.

Lei Chong and Mosquito on the opposite side were also stunned.

They had no idea that Xu Lindong would be so fierce.

Without a word, he attacked, and right off the bat was the terrifying "Descendant of the Kitchen God," instantly suppressing the two executives.

"Xu Lindong, stop! You're right!"

Lei Chong's voice immediately came from the other side, "We shouldn't fight amongst ourselves now. Solving the problem first is the priority. Preserve your extraordinary power!"

Xu Lindong looked back and saw that the traffic light at the intersection had finished its green countdown and turned a blinding scarlet.

A red light enveloped his face, and also reflected on the faces of Ji Huaisheng and Gu Yi.

When the light turned red and both of them were still unharmed and had not encountered any accidents, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the burning pain on their faces and bodies was still very clear.

What chilled them even more was Xu Lindong's terrifying strength and decisiveness.

This person is definitely ruthless, and their judgment is indeed accurate.

They seem like harmless college students on ordinary days, polite and gentle, but once they really get angry, they become a ferocious wolf!

"Now I know I was right."

Xu Lindong said coldly, his eyes, which seemed to burn with golden-red flames, were fixed on the red light across the street.

But even with the Kitchen God's eyes, he couldn't see through the evil creature's secrets.

Clearly, even in the state of the Kitchen God's descent, his extraordinary power was far inferior to that of this evil creature.

He suddenly released his grip, and the flames that had risen around him quickly subsided and gradually disappeared into his body, exiting the state of the Kitchen God's descent.

But the intense sense of oppression still sent chills down the spines of Gu Yi and Ji Huaisheng, who had slid awkwardly down the wall.

The two of them, working together, couldn't even withstand a single move from Xu Lindong, and were easily suppressed in a single exchange.

Gu Yi felt more clearly that Xu Lindong's energy and spirit were far superior to his own.

Despite being a veteran executive with the energy and spirit of a sixty-year-old, he was still completely suppressed by the other party.

This newcomer is truly terrifying.

Xu Lindong withdrew his gaze from the traffic lights, glanced at the two men, and said in a flat tone:

"After you leave here, I will not interfere with what you want to do, even if you want to go and die."

But since you're now in this alley with me, don't drag me into your deaths.

Do you understand?

His tone was calm, yet unquestionable, a stark contrast to his usual gentle manner.

When it comes to his own safety, he becomes exceptionally decisive, calm, and even ruthless and domineering.

"I...I understand!"

Ji Huaisheng lightly touched the blister on his neck, wincing in pain.

Gu Yi, standing nearby, was equally upset, nodding and gasping, "You really went too far!"

Xu Lindong's tone remained calm:

"If I really used my full strength, you wouldn't even be able to speak right now."

Ultimately, strength is everything.

I've tried to reason with you, but you won't listen. I have no choice but to wake you up.

Gu Yi and Ji Huaisheng stood up awkwardly, their expressions embarrassed upon hearing this.

But one has to admit that Xu Lindong was right.

If they had really gone all out, under the suppression of the extraordinary power just now, let alone easily snapping their necks, the fire in the stove alone would have been enough to burn them to ashes.

Even though he held back, and the two of them used all their extraordinary power to protect themselves, they were still burned.

"If you want to get out of here alive, listen to me and don't move. If you want to die, stay away from me."

After saying this, Xu Lindong looked across at the other side.

The situation has now changed.

They are currently facing a red light that is counting down.

The number has jumped to '39'.

Meanwhile, Lei Chong and the mosquitoes on the opposite side were now enveloped in a green light and were no longer flashing yellow lights.

On the other side, Pangjia, which was originally shrouded in red light, turned into a flashing yellow light.

Just now, none of the people went out of the alley into the street and followed the traffic lights, yet no danger occurred.

The situation doesn't seem to be as Lei Chong said, where one must strictly follow the traffic light rules.

Or perhaps, the situation is just as Xu Lindong predicted.

The pattern of this evil "traffic light" has changed and no longer conforms to normal rules.

"Xu Lindong, although you guessed right just now, the situation has changed!"

Lei Chong on the other end suddenly spoke, his expression solemn and serious:

"When I arrived, the first thing I saw was this traffic light. The countdown was 54 seconds. The original full countdown should have been 60 seconds."

But after the lights changed, the countdown on my end started from 50.

I'm already in my thirties, and will soon be in my twenties.

"It should be the same on your end."

Before Xu Lindong could speak, Pang Jia on the other side responded:

"That's right, I'm already at level 29."

Xu Lindong glanced at the red light counting down directly ahead.

In the span of those few sentences, the countdown timer jumped to 29.

The countdown had an eerie quality, as if it carried some kind of ominous meaning.

Although no one was hurt just now, the change in the timer numbers seemed to be foreshadowing something, making people feel uneasy.

"Speak your mind and hurry up!"

Xu Lindong said in a deep voice.

Although he appeared calm, he was actually feeling a sense of urgency.

Although he can judge and avoid danger by observing the commotion in the Tower of Babel, he can't find a way to break the deadlock.

Lei Chong continued:

"I mean, even if we get through this round of traffic lights without any problems, if the next countdown starts at 40, and the one after that starts at 30... that's definitely not a good sign."

Perhaps you're right, the pattern of this evil entity's traffic lights has changed.

The danger isn't necessarily the changing lights, but rather this countdown that feels like a death countdown...

Xu Lindong stared intently at the red light across the street and said in a deep voice, "It's already 21."

Lei Chong's tone suddenly became urgent and serious: "We must leave this place, get away from this evil creature, return to the plaza, and escape this mutated sinkhole area from the entrance."

I have the green light now, and I'm going to take the risk and see if I can leave before it turns on.

If I succeed, you can try it again when the lights change next time.

"You just said I was using you as guinea pigs, now I'll personally test you and show you what kind of person I, Lei Chong, am!"

Xu Lindong was taken aback upon hearing this, and began to re-evaluate the man in front of him.

But is this guy named Lei Chong or Lao Hao Ren?

Just as he was stunned, the mosquito next to Lei Chong stepped out of the alleyway first and said quickly:

"Brother Lei, I'll go ahead and scout ahead for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the moment his left foot stepped out of the alley and his right heel touched it, he suddenly and without warning fell forward and crashed heavily to the ground, as if he had been hit hard in the back by something terrible.

Lei Chong, who was just about to leave the alley together, was suddenly startled!

Xu Lindong and the others, who were observing the situation, were also stunned.

"There...there's someone...!"

Almost simultaneously, Pang Jia's voice also suddenly came through.

This usually fierce woman now spoke with a hint of trembling fear in her voice!

Xu Lindong was terrified and took a step back.

From the misty corner of the alley across the street, a hunched figure slowly emerged, exuding a chilling, corpse-like aura, with a faint rustling sound like a broom sweeping across the ground.

"Who... is littering again...?"

A strange broom suddenly emerged, releasing a misty spray, and landed on a mosquito that had fallen to the ground.

The broom looked as if it were made of countless strands of women's hair, black and sticky.

The broom handle, seemingly pieced together from leg bones, looked menacing and about to crack, exuding an indescribable chill...
