I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Xu Lindong and Yuan Heng had a very ordinary relationship.

Therefore, the other person's spiritual threads appear blurry and weak in his mental mirror.

At this moment, as his consciousness probed further, he only managed to capture some fragmented and disjointed thoughts.

Yuan Heng seemed to be driving, so he couldn't hear any useful thoughts or messages.

In this situation, unless continuous eavesdropping is conducted, it is difficult to determine whether he is truly an inside agent.

However, the blessing from the Kitchen God could not be maintained for long, so Xu Lindong sighed and decisively gave up.

However, he then took advantage of this rare opportunity to launch an even bolder attempt.

He extended his consciousness toward Team Leader Jiang and Zhou Du, who were in Sequence Eight.

However, after a few breaths, Xu Lindong felt the fire in his heart extinguished and could only feel helpless.

His ability to capture inner thoughts is clearly limited by his strength.

He can also detect the extraordinary beings in Sequence Nine.

Once the mental threads of Sequence Eight are touched, the inner fire is rapidly depleted and quickly weakens.

At this point, it can only transmit a message in one direction at most, but it is completely powerless to capture the other party's thoughts.

Clearly, the stronger the target, the harder it is to discern their true intentions.

Although the Tower of Babel can isolate him from external perception, it cannot amplify his power.

"Even so, the Tower of Babel is already incredibly powerful, managing to transform the Kitchen God's minor ability to 'capture thoughts' into a divine skill!"

Xu Lindong thought to himself.

Originally, this mind-reading ability was quite useless.

If you want to remain undetected, you can only spy on those weaker than yourself.

A ceremony and the activation of the cardiac mirror stove are also required, making the process extremely complicated.

Other kitchen officials face numerous limitations in using this ability.

Despite being isolated by the Tower of Babel, he was able to peer into the thoughts of other extraordinary beings of the same or even higher level without being detected.

This is tantamount to turning a useless move into a divine skill, and its power is no less than that of some mid-level mind-reading abilities, such as the "Listening" ability of the Earth-level.

Even stronger, since even the ability to listen to the heavens carries the risk of being detected, causing the other party to build a mental wall to resist and hide the secret, resulting in the failure of mind reading, while it is difficult for others inside the Tower of Babel to detect.

At this moment, the fire in his heart had been extinguished.

This period of "the Kitchen God bestowing blessings" has now come to an end.

Xu Lindong recorded the time, which lasted for about twelve minutes.

This is not a short time; it's enough to sustain a protracted battle.

The battles between sequence extraordinary individuals often end within minutes.

A battle that lasts for twelve minutes is definitely a tough and brutal one, and the energy expenditure is naturally enormous.

The duration of this is somewhat similar to the fighting ability of a middle-aged man in a certain aspect; ten minutes or so is about the limit.

Xu Lindong's consciousness withdrew from the Tower of Babel, and he carefully examined his own condition.

"During the Kitchen God's blessing, supernatural power is consumed almost zero... The recovery speed is astonishingly fast, but the mind seems to suffer some damage, though it can still be endured."

He quickly cleaned up the mess inside the house, which had been reduced to ashes.

Then he picked up the information about the Corpse-Driving Sect that Sister Xun had collected and began to read it.

"To play the role of a corpse-driver as a superhuman within the zombie sequence, one must wear specific clothing, prepare soul-summoning bells, guiding banners, paper money, and so on... and also chant corresponding incantations?"

"This way of acting is really weird."

I need to compile an effective and feasible method of role-playing from the information, and I also need to figure out the incantation before I can truly master the ability to drive and control corpses...

Otherwise, we'll have to consult the Goddess Houtu.

"Perhaps I could try wearing the Faceless Man's mask and this outfit, then find a secluded, deserted place to slowly explore..."

Xu Lindong read the materials and summarized them, continuing to read until late at night.

He tossed aside the materials he had finished reading, tilted his head back, and gulped down a bottle of Level 3 Extraordinary Potion.

He then pretended to be a zombie, lying still in a state of suspended animation, and his consciousness re-entered the Tower of Babel to begin his cultivation.

Now that the carbon from the Kitchen God within his body has been completely digested, he can begin studying the information on the corresponding sequences of the Door Gods.

Once he finishes the last two bottles of extraordinary potion in the next two days, he will be able to accumulate eight thousand merit points to exchange for the Door God Token.

...

Meanwhile, outside Jiangcheng.

Deep in a dense forest.

All beasts were silent, and the mountains and forests were deep and secluded.

A strange hissing sound came from the depths of the intertwined vines and trees.

A thin mist rose from the depths of the forest, enveloping the vines, like countless sinister snakes hanging and swaying on the branches.

The fallen leaves rustled on the ground.

A graceful figure slowly emerged from the mist, its head covered in tangled, thin snakes.

It was none other than Medusa, a mythical creature of the Federation's Strange Path Sequence Six.

Mythical creatures are diverse and not all of them resemble Medusa.

But once you step into this sequence level, it means absolute power.

"Stella... We're going to take action tomorrow, but that Xia countryman named Wang Zhan hasn't shown up yet with the Ghost Pawnshop's stuff."

From the depths of the thin mist, an aged voice echoed, but no one was in sight.

The woman with the graceful figure and a head full of snakes hissed:

"Langdon, no rush."

The people of Xia are not so easy to deal with.

Moreover, your subordinate Han has disappeared... I fear he has already been overrun by the Supernatural Bureau.

"Han is loyal and would never betray the Holy Order!"

Faced with the woman's questioning, the aged voice in the mist was very firm.

"The Bureau of Mysteries has many methods; it doesn't necessarily require his betrayal. The Ghost Official possesses the ability to read minds, and so do I."

The eerie woman's voice turned cold, "Moreover, that Fu from the Xia Kingdom, the Heavenly Dao Sequence Four Thunder God, has already destroyed our secondary headquarters, and two elders escaped with serious injuries."

Our actions, in their eyes, were hardly secretive, which was very dangerous.

"Stella! Are you planning to back down?"

"No."

The eerie woman gave a cold laugh, her eyes still tightly closed. "This is a rare opportunity."

We weren't completely unprepared while in the city; this Jiangcheng Extraordinary Club social event was an opportunity.

"Whether it's 'that person's' help, or our sequence superhuman partners from the Federation... they've taken control of that bicycle, and that will be an asset."

"As long as we can liberate this sinkhole and rescue the corpse raiser, the losses of the Level 2 headquarters can be absorbed."

She suddenly turned her head and looked towards the distant, sealed-off fortress.

The countless tiny snakes above their heads opened their chilling, deathly eyes, piercing through the mist and locking onto that spot.

...

Time flew by, and it was already the afternoon of the next day.

This day marked the annual Jiangcheng Extraordinary Club Friendship Meeting.

Lin Xiao had already delivered the invitation to Xu Lindong's home at noon.

Yi Qianxun had already taken a day off in advance to attend this social gathering and build the influence needed for her promotion to "village head".

After half a day of cultivation, with the aid of the Level 3 Extraordinary Medicine and the energy of the Tower of Babel, Xu Lindong's spirit and energy had risen to 89.7.

Such a rate of improvement is truly astonishing.

However, he had an extremely high level of mastery over his own sequence abilities, and he had completely digested the Vesta Carbon.

Therefore, no matter how fast one's energy and spirit increase, as long as it does not reach a critical point, there will be no risk of any extraordinary backlash.

However, at this moment, he was completely unaware that his consciousness had left the Tower of Babel.

A chilling and vast power from the underground passage was quietly seeping into the evil artifact behind the eighth-level tunnel door, and into the heavily sealed body of the wandering soul on the ninth level.

The intrusion of this power made the chilling aura emanating from the artifact and the wandering spirits even more pronounced.

However, this power was soon suppressed by the Tower of Babel, rapidly diminished, and even absorbed by the Tower of Babel.

Tap, tap.

The soft clatter of high heels, accompanied by faint murmurs, echoed at the top of the tower.

"A tattered tunnel soldier..."

"A wandering soul from the era of powerful clans...that guy who used to raise corpses, Xiao Chen?... "

The murmur had barely faded when another suppressed, painful hiss rang out.

Then, the whisper resurfaced once more:

"Who is Xiao Chen...?"

"...Who...am I...and why am I here...?"

"Finding him might... yield some results..."
