I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 122-121: The Door God Amulet, Thanks to Captain Xu's Help (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

The next day.

It's 7:30 in the morning.

Xu Lindong opened his eyes in the villa room, his face showing a calm expression as if nothing had happened.

In the first half of the night, he was still working as the righteous zombie Black Glove in Huangpizi Town, until he watched the welfare center staff nervously go into the police station to surrender with the evidence, and then he teleported back home.

He then drank a bottle of the captured Level 2 extraordinary potion and entered the Tower of Babel to cultivate until dawn.

After a night, almost half of the extraordinary potion had been digested.

His energy and spirit steadily rose to 132.3, and the extraordinary energy within his body also increased rapidly.

Just as he was feeling the subtle changes in his strength, a soft "click" sound came from the door next door.

Xun tiptoed to the door like a thief, pressed her ear against the door panel and listened for two seconds, but found no sound inside.

"Ah Dong must have been staying up all night practicing again—"

She muttered to herself, gripped the doorknob, and slammed it down!

It's not open.

Press down again, but the doorknob doesn't budge.

"Um?

"

Sister Xun squinted and increased the pressure on her hand, but the doorknob seemed to be welded shut.

Inside the room, Xu Lindong leaned against the headboard, his hand making a loose clench, subtly activating the Door God's power.

It's like there's an invisible wall inside the lock cylinder; no matter how hard someone outside tries to turn it, it just won't budge.

"Ah Dong! Are you awake?"

Xun knocked on the door in a low voice, "Open the door, I brought you breakfast!"

Xu Lindong suppressed a laugh.

After mastering the power of the door god, it will be difficult for Sister Xun to barge into his room at will.

He gently hooked his finger.

"Click."

The door lock suddenly came loose.

Yi Qianxun was exerting her strength when she was thrown forward by inertia and fell into the doorway with a cry of "Ouch!" The soy milk and steamed buns she was carrying almost flew off her hands.

She looked up and saw Xu Lindong sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at her innocently: "Sister Xun, good morning. Are you practicing your martial arts?"

"Why did you lock the door! Are you deliberately teasing me?" Sister Xun stood firm and glared at him.

"The door locked itself." Xu Lindong blinked. "Maybe it's grumpy when it wakes up."

Xun Jie: "————"

She put the breakfast on the bedside table and reached out to grab his ear: "Come on! Do you think that just because you're stronger now, you can use your superpowers to toy with me?"

Xu Lindong laughed and leaned back, easily dodging the attack: "How could I dare? I was just testing out my new ability. See, it worked! It even stopped you."

"Defend against you my foot!"

Xun Jie was both amused and annoyed. She shoved the steamed bun into his hand and said, "Eat up, where are we going today?"

"What do you mean, where are you going? I have a mission today." Xu Lindong was taken aback. "And what's that squeaking sound you're making?"

'

Xun smiled shyly, "I learned it from internet celebrities on short videos, doesn't it sound good?"

"It's practically a Mazda 6."

Xu Lindong rolled his eyes, took a bite of the bun, and mumbled, "This bun is good, very fragrant. Did you go out to buy it specially? You really dote on me."

"I don't care about you at all. I just can't eat anymore. This is from the staff canteen in the residential compound. It's good quality and inexpensive."

Xun Jie sat down by the bed, noticing a barely perceptible hint of weariness at the corner of his eye. Her voice softened, "Another night of cultivation? Why are you pushing yourself so hard?"

"I know what I'm doing."

Xu Lindong finished his steamed bun in a few bites, jumped out of bed, and said, "I'm leaving. I can't take you to work today. I'll try to finish early and bring you that popular cake from the West District when I get back."

"You said it, I've got it."

Sister Xun laughed, watching him deftly put on the executive captain's uniform jacket. Suddenly, she felt that although this kid was getting more and more troublesome, he also seemed to be getting more and more handsome and reliable.

Xu Lindong walked to the door, turned back and waved to her, then gently tapped his finger on the door frame.

"despair."

The door lock popped open.

"Sorry, Sister Xun, the door's open for you. Feel free to come in anytime..."

"After saying that, he slipped out of the corridor."

But in reality, some of the cabinet doors in the room had been closed by him, and even Sister Xun, who liked to tidy up his room, couldn't open them.

Those cabinets contain his "chivalrous zombie" equipment and loot—items belonging to another identity, which cannot be exposed.

This feeling is like the Spider-Man and Superman characters I used to see in movies and comics.

"Stinky Ah Dong, why does the blanket smell a little bit stinky again..."

""

Inside the room, Yi Qianxun had just finished folding the quilt when she frowned, picked it up, and sniffed it. She decided to carry it to the balcony to air it out.

She was in a great mood after moving into the new villa; living in a big house makes her happy.

The space for drying clothes and blankets is much wider now, and we no longer have to compete with older women for the rooftop drying area.

Eastern District Supernatural Division, Mission Hall.

When Xu Lindong pushed open the door, all the members of the three teams had already arrived.

The equipment table was covered with firearms, magazines, ashes, and several dark gray tactical vests.

Ning Che and Xia Ping, the two newcomers, were adjusting the equipment buckles at their waists when they heard footsteps and looked up at the same time.

"Captain Xu!"

Good morning, Captain.

"Dong-ge is here!"

Several different greetings rang out in the room, still carrying a hint of the relaxed atmosphere of just having gathered.

"Yunfan!"

Xu Lindong glanced at Li Yunfan, who was calling him "Brother Dong," nodded, and then whispered a correction, "In a work setting, use your job title!"

Li Yunfan was taken aback, then immediately straightened up from his lazy posture and said, "Yes, Captain!"

"Hmm!" Xu Lindong walked to the head seat and glanced around.

Tang Lei, Wang Shuo, Li Yunfan, Xia Ping, Ning Che, Xiao Mufeng, and liaison officer Xiao Qing.

All the team members had arrived and received their equipment, but that familiar tall figure was missing.

Lu Qian has already gone to headquarters and won't be here today.

Xu Lindong felt a strange sense of unease about suddenly being in charge of the team, and he raised his hand to slap the tactical table.

"Now that everyone's here, let's prepare for the mission. Xiao Qing, you give your report!"

His voice was crisp and clear, immediately drawing everyone's attention back.

"Yes, Captain!"

Liaison officer Xiaoqing stepped forward, holding a tablet. She was dressed impeccably in her uniform, and her ponytail swayed gently behind her head.

"Our mission this time was to provide support to Team 4 in the West District."

She opened the briefing on the screen and spoke calmly: "The location is Xincheng Machinery Factory in the old industrial park in the west of the city." It has been confirmed that there are wandering spirits lurking there. One of them was found to have possessed a night shift employee before escaping and choosing other targets.

The target spirit may possess some intelligence and is adept at hiding. It hasn't killed anyone yet, but it continues to move within the factory, making it difficult to locate.

"The fourth team in the West District tried to trap it once, but it escaped. The fourth team was worried that forcibly closing the net would injure the possessed workers, so they asked for our assistance in containing it. Today, we carried out a joint cleanup."

After listening, Xu Lindong looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Tang Lei grinned: "Wandering spirits—that's very dangerous. Apart from you, Captain, we all need to be careful. Looks like we'll have to wear protective charms."

Those around them also frowned slightly.

Seeing that things were getting tricky, the two newcomers, Xia Ping and Ning Che, became even more nervous and apprehensive.

"Therefore, preventing possession is the most important thing for everyone."

Xu Lindong looked at Li Yunfan, "Have you all received your 'door god amulets'? One for each of you, keep them close to your body."

"yes!"

Li Yunfan turned around and took out a metal box from the safe. He opened the lid and found neatly arranged dark blue rectangular wooden plaques inside.

"These are all good stuff!" Wang Shuo's eyes lit up.

The plaque is made of old peach wood, with a smooth surface and dark gold metal trim around the edges.

In the center is a simple portrait of Wei Zheng, a civil official and door god, outlined in vermilion. He wears a wide-sleeved official robe, holds a tablet, and has a solemn and serene expression.

The portrait is surrounded by finely engraved seal script for warding off evil spirits, each stroke imbued with a faint golden glow.

This is a "door god amulet" specially made by "Master Yuan" from the Equipment Repair Department of the Divine Realm.

Borrowing the imagery of civil official door gods "protecting the house and pacifying the soul," they can form a temporary spiritual barrier around the wearer, specifically to deal with the possession and erosion of low-sequence wandering spirits.

The downside is its short lifespan; once activated, it can only last for a maximum of fifteen minutes before it is destroyed.

The materials used to make this amulet are extremely precious. If none of us are possessed by wandering spirits this time, the amulets will still need to be recycled.

The team members took turns receiving the amulets and stuffed them into the inner pockets of their tactical vests.

The cool touch against my chest made me instinctively tense up.

Xu Lindong also casually picked up a piece and hung it up.

Although he didn't need it, he figured he might as well use it; it would provide an extra layer of protection. He then waved his hand and said, "Check the equipment one more time. If everything is okay, we'll set off. Xiao Qing will stay here at the company and contact the dispatcher."

"yes!"

The room was immediately filled with the soft sounds of gun bolts being pulled and clips being fastened.

Xu Lindong returned to his rest room, took out his extraordinary shield, and attached a specially made chimney handle to the scythe he carried with him.

At 7:45, a black special operations vehicle drove out of the Shenyisi underground parking garage.

The car body is matte black, the windows are covered with one-way privacy film, and the engine sounds low, making it inconspicuous in the morning rush hour traffic.

Xu Lindong sat in the passenger seat and looked at the streets and people outside the car.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but the city seemed to have improved a lot.

Normally you can occasionally see some litter on the streets, but today when I looked around, there wasn't a single scrap of paper on the ground.

"That old woman is something else! Next time I go out, I'll have to be more respectful to the elderly and not let my bicycle hit her."

Xu Lindong sighed inwardly, withdrew his gaze, swiped open his extraordinary phone, and subconsciously peeked at the screen to browse the group chat.

Dozens of messages in the internal messaging group have already gone unread.

The top few entries prominently featured the names "Yellow Weasel Town" and "Cixin Welfare Society".

"You already have yesterday's news in the internal group?"

He clicked on it, his eyes scanning the screen.

It was discovered that the person relaying the message was once again named Yi Sheng, and this person seemed to have very good information.

"Something happened at the Compassion Welfare Society last night. The owner, a foreigner named Eugene, has been confirmed dead, but his body has not been found. Other signs of a fight were also found at the scene."

Two other foreign superhumans were also killed, and their bodies are missing. It is suspected that these three were killed by experts who traveled through underground tunnels, and their bodies may have been taken away, perhaps to be turned into zombies.

"Thank you for the inspiration! Maybe I can go back to the Empress and learn the Maoshan corpse-making technique."

Xu Lindong thought to himself, and continued to spy on the screen.

"At 1:30 a.m., a welfare center employee turned himself in to the Huangpizi Township Police Department, bringing with him detailed account books and transaction records. He accused Eugene of colluding with foreign forces to traffic children, and headquarters now suspects that Eugene has another identity."

"People from above have taken over the investigation, and the children at the welfare center have been temporarily settled."

Messages kept popping up in the group chat. Some people exclaimed "Good job!" while others speculated about the identity of the expert who had carried out the attack.

Xu Lindong scrolled down expressionlessly: "I heard that the boss was a ninth-level bard, and he was actually taken down silently. The person who did it must have been at least at the same level, probably a Night Wanderer, and they were particularly ruthless."

He paused for a moment with his thumb, then turned off the screen and looked ahead.

Outside the car window, the city skyline gradually became clear in the morning light, and golden light reflected off the glass curtain walls of some tall buildings.

The special operations vehicle turned on its turn signal and turned onto the expressway leading to the western district.

Inside the carriage, Li Yunfan was chatting with Tang Lei and the others about some of the characteristics of wandering spirits.

Xu Lindong leaned back in his chair, took out the door god talisman, and observed it while feeling the power of the Chinese door god, taking stock of his family's wealth in his mind.

"After Xiao Qing helped me collect the merit points last time, I now have 9300 merit points remaining... five bottles of level 2 extraordinary potions, and a total of 700,000 in bonuses from both transactions."

"He ranked 488th on the list of extraordinary beings and received an 3 yuan bonus and three bottles of level-three extraordinary potions for free."

The level-three medicine is useless to me now, it's perfect for Sister De to use for cultivation. Once her strength increases and her status in the Commandery rises, she can help me in the future.

"Even though some of the merit in the Tower of Babel was spent on teleportation and scraping, after eliminating evil and the judgment of the evil-eliminating event, there are still more than 9600 merits left."

"So, all I have is 780,000 in clean winnings. I also have about a million Xia Guo RMB and 200,000 worth of gold bars in embezzled funds—I need to find a way to donate these to those kids at the welfare center."

With the accounts sorted out, Xu Lindong had a clear understanding of the situation.

They have a clear understanding of their existing assets.

The prize money of 780,000 is more than enough.

The company usually provides most of the routine resources and expenses directly, so it doesn't cost much money.

"Maybe I could buy a regular car for commuting. After all, riding a superbike for everyday commuting is quite expensive in terms of gas! And it can only carry two people."

Xu Lindong pondered his financial planning.

Twenty minutes later, the special operations vehicle arrived at the gate of the machinery factory.

The factory area has been cordoned off, and several uniformed security guards are standing guard.

The factory director and several leaders were waiting anxiously.

Upon seeing the special operations vehicle arrive, Xu Lindong and the others got out of the car and quickly stepped forward, their faces beaming with a smile that was both warm and cautious.

"Captain Xu, you must be tired from your journey!"

The factory manager, whose hair had already receded into the Mediterranean, grasped Xu Lindong's hands with a sincere grip, but his eyes betrayed his worry. "This time, we really have to trouble everyone in the Department of Supernatural Affairs. This matter at the factory—sigh, we're counting on you."

Xu Lindong nodded calmly and said, "It's all part of my job."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Chao, the captain of the fourth team in the West District, walked over from the side with five team members.

He was still wearing his black executive uniform, his expression a mix of laziness and sharpness, his eyes filled with a smile: "Xu Lindong, we meet again. This time you really are Captain Xu. Congratulations on your promotion."

"Captain Pan, you're not bad either, you got promoted pretty quickly!"

Xu Lindong looked at Pan Chao.

The person I met last time was a member of the Divine Ranking at Sequence Ten, but has now been promoted and seems to be the Head of the Law Enforcement Pavilion.

The two shook hands swiftly and decisively, separating immediately after the first touch.

Pan Chao said calmly, "This time we'll have to trouble your East District Team 3 to assist us. For the safety of these factory workers, we have no choice but to make a big show of it."

"Of course," Xu Lindong replied succinctly.

At this moment, Ding Jian peeked out from behind Pan Chao, grinning broadly with an exaggerated tone: "Brother Xu, no, I should call you Captain Xu now! Wow, you're leading a team when we meet again, I feel really proud!"

Xu Lindong glanced at this lively character and asked, "Did you win over Miss Duan?"

"Brother, oh no, my Captain Xu, why do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?"

Ding Jian immediately looked miserable, clearly heartbroken again.

Everyone chuckled softly, but with the mission at hand, they needed to maintain a serious demeanor, so they didn't exchange many pleasantries and quickly entered a temporary command post within the factory area.

The simple prefabricated house contained a few folding tables, and the walls were covered with a floor plan of the factory and numerous employee information sheets.

Xu Lindong picked up his watch, glanced at the message, and turned to Pan Chao: "Captain Pan, tell me what's going on."

Pan Chao walked to the blueprints, pointed to a red-marked area, and said in a low voice, "The wandering spirit is still inside. It possessed someone before, and now it has changed its target. We tried once, but it is very good at hiding... Fortunately, it doesn't seem to hurt people. It might be a strange, lonely ghost."

"Strange, wandering ghosts?"

Xu Lindong looked thoughtfully at the list of personnel and nodded slightly.

There are many kinds of wandering ghosts, including cowardly ghosts who died of fright, ghosts who starved to death, water ghosts, and so on.

The current type of wandering spirit is unknown, and it is also good at hiding. With more than two hundred people crammed together in the factory, it is indeed very difficult to find it.

The workers have been trapped in the factory for more than a day trying to catch it, and it still hasn't been released.

"We sifted through the food when they were getting lunch, but we didn't find anything. We even had them sleep on makeshift beds on the floor inside the factory at night, but we still didn't find anything."

Pan Chao tilted his head towards Ding Jian and said, "I've tried both my legal abilities and Ding Jian's ability to hear corpses, but I can't find it."

He spread his hands and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to rely on Captain Xu. Using the door gods or the kitchen god's ability to discern good from evil should be enough."
