I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 113, Part 112: Community Hero, Sister Xun's Service (Bonus Chapter 2 for the Full Moon)

"Dongzi, see this? This is the big surprise I prepared for you! All the neighbors came to welcome you!"

Yi Qianxun jumped out of the crowd with a cheerful laugh, grabbed Xu Lindong's arm, and smiled sweetly and sassily.

"You're a real hero in our neighborhood now!"

"Xunxun, how many times have I told you, now you have to call me Adong!"

Yi Guoqiang leaned closer and whispered a reminder, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Oh, I know, I just can't change it right away!" Yi Qianxun said coquettishly, turning her head to shake Xu Lindong's arm. "Right, Adong? You're not really mad at me, are you?"

Xu Lindong chuckled and shook his head.

He certainly wouldn't blame him; on the contrary, he preferred Yi Qiande to call him Dongzi, as he had gotten used to it over the years.

"Brother Dong, congratulations on your promotion again."

At this moment, an unexpected person stepped forward and offered their congratulations.

"Hmm? Lin Xiao, you've also been promoted and broken through to become a village head?"

Xu Lindong looked at Lin Xiao, who was approaching, with surprise.

"Yes, thanks to Brother Dong, you helped me expand my influence last time," Lin Xiao said with a smile. "My dad has been wanting to invite you to dinner. I wonder when Brother Dong would be free to do me the honor?"

"Okay," Xu Lindong nodded, "we'll talk about it after this busy period is over."

"Alright! Dong-ge, you go ahead with your work. I just came to offer my congratulations. Please feel free to ask!"

Lin Xiao was very perceptive; after speaking, he conveniently left.

At this moment, Aunt Zhou also came out, and the family entered the community amidst the welcome of many neighbors.

Although Xu Lindong felt slightly embarrassed, he was filled with many emotions.

Six months ago, when he joined the Department of Supernatural Affairs, his neighbors looked at him with more respect, but not to the extent of the "special treatment" he received now.

Perhaps it was because of that major event outside the city that his status in the hearts of the neighbors rose significantly.

But it's more like people wanting a peaceful life, so they see an executive like him, who can ensure their safety, as a guarantee and a source of hope, and naturally take him more seriously.

In the crowd, a couple was both envious and belittling their son: "Look at Ah Dong, he only joined the Department of Supernatural Affairs a few months earlier than you, and now he's so successful and accomplished!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, chubby guy glanced at Xu Lindong, who seemed to be shining brightly and exuding confidence in the crowd opposite him, and said in a low voice, "In your eyes, he is Adong, but in my eyes, he has long been a legend in our neighborhood!"

Even within the Eastern District's Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, this is a rare occurrence these days. Dong Ge is someone who has been on the list of supernatural beings!

He's made another great contribution. In less than a year since joining the department, he's achieved a series of merits and is now a first-level executive officer.

What is the "List of Miraculous Events"?

The parents next to him looked bewildered. "Why don't you try to get on the list too? Doesn't it cost money? How about we apply for a special loan and pay you to get on the list!"

'

The chubby boy glanced at his parents speechlessly and shook his head: "Never mind, there's a generation gap between us."

I'd better hurry up and curry favor with Brother Dong. He's probably getting promoted soon, and might not even live here anymore. I need to start currying favor with him early.

He pushed through the crowd and immediately went over.

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, I'm Tu Le, your neighbor from Building 7, and the intern executive officer of the North District. You can call me Xiao Tu."

"Huh?" Xu Lindong looked at the chubby boy who had pushed through the crowd in surprise, and nodded with a smile.

"The North District? I was just with Director Cai from the North District yesterday."

"Holy crap, this is a real powerhouse!" Tu Le was overjoyed.

After dealing with the hustle and bustle outside, returning home finally allows one to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.

However, Xu Lindong then noticed that his front door and the hallway were covered with little GG stickers, and even the elevator looked like it had been renovated, giving off a brand-new vibe.

He was a little puzzled, but he found out after asking.

This was all arranged by Lin Xiao, supposedly to welcome his triumphant return.

As good citizens, we must tidy up the hero's home; it can't be too shabby.

That's a reason that's impossible to refuse.

They didn't offer any gifts or money, but they hired someone to do a thorough cleaning and even cleaned the entire building, calling it "serving the community." How could I refuse?

"Such a businessman, impressive."

Xu Lindong shook his head, finally experiencing a bit of the taste and helplessness of being an official.

What kind of high-ranking official is he?

This refers to the recently mentioned acting captain of the regional squad.

Even the character "代" (dai) hasn't been removed yet.

The other party may not be aware of this, but they still go to great lengths to please them and lay the groundwork for a good relationship.

If they were truly powerful figures, how many sweet-coated bullets would they have to face? Who could withstand them?

"You must stay true to yourself!"

Xu Lindong secretly warned himself.

But looking at the tidy hallway outside the window, I have to admit it.

The refreshing environment definitely made me feel much more comfortable.

Back in his room, Xu Lindong couldn't resist Xun Jie's persistent questioning, so he had no choice but to recount some of his battle experiences outside the city that weren't too dangerous.

In the end, as expected, under the pretext of "checking the injuries," Xun pressed him onto the bed and made him a guinea pig, letting her awkwardly use the "blood circulation" ability of the Lizheng to probe and explore his body.

"How is it?"

"Mmm—that feels good. Sister Xun, your technique has improved quite quickly."

"Pah! What kind of technique is that! You make me sound like a professional masseuse!"

Yi Qianxun spat lightly, her face hardening but unable to hide her smugness. "This is an extraordinary ability, so just be happy about it. Watch me give you a taste of your own medicine!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her two smooth, long legs, plopped down on his back, and began massaging his shoulders and back in a very professional manner.

"Well----"

Xu Lindong hummed comfortably, enjoying the service while discussing his plans.

"Huh? You want to persuade my parents to move to the Department of Supernatural Affairs' residential compound?"

"To be honest, Dongzi, now that the neighbors are praising you so much, you know my dad is a real face-conscious man, so he's even less willing to leave."

"And don't even mention my mom, you know what I mean—"

She lowered her voice, "She's so vain, she can't wait to hear people praise you every day. When she sits at the card table, she's not really playing cards, she's just waiting to hear news from you, she's happy even if she loses money—now she's not willing to move."

Upon hearing this reason, Xu Lindong was speechless for a moment.

One is concerned about saving face, and the other is used to living and socializing in the neighborhood. It's really not easy to get the uncle and aunt to move to the family compound.

But things haven't been peaceful in the city lately, so his concerns weren't unfounded.

He simply told Sister Xun some of the information that Captain Lu had revealed, reminding her, "If any wandering spirits or evil creatures really sneak into Jiangcheng, this neighborhood might not be safe without superhumans guarding it."

"Especially since some wandering spirits have developed a trace of intelligence, if they possess someone and don't give themselves away, that would be even more troublesome."

"The investigation will take time. Jiangcheng has tens of millions of people and is a large place. It's not something that can be cleared up in a short time."

"The news you mentioned was also vaguely mentioned by our department leaders yesterday. If wandering spirits are this scary—what about other evil spirits?"

Yi Qianxun felt a little uneasy, and her hands slowed down.

"Evil spirits are even more troublesome," Xu Lindong continued. "Some of them look no different from ordinary old ladies, casually sweeping the streets with a broom—"

As he said this, he suddenly felt the hand on his back stiffen and stop.

"Why did you stop? Keep going!"
