I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

When wearing the faceless mask, Xu Lindong's presence is greatly reduced.

This state of concealment bestowed by the divine object meant that even when he ran, passersby around him would not notice him.

It felt as if a gust of wind had swept by, leaving no trace of his presence.

However, this sprint made Xu Lindong feel increasingly tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.

Fortunately, the blessing effect of the Kitchen God was still present, which somewhat alleviated the physical discomfort caused by the strange object.

As he pursued, he reported the latest developments to Lu Qian via telepathic communication, asking her to quickly relay the information to He Shaojun.

Now he was all alone and had to keep an eye on Simon as he left, making sure he didn't let him disappear again.

As for the three people from Jiangcheng Bookstore, they will be dealt with by He Shaojun, who will be arriving soon.

Lu Qian's thoughts immediately surfaced: "A Dong, you must be careful. If you confirm that the other party is carrying the evil bicycle, you must act decisively and kill them on the spot to prevent future troubles. Do not release that bicycle."

"If you're not confident, give up immediately! Find him slowly later."

Immediately afterward, Lu Qian's heart stirred, and she quickly reminded him of the characteristics of the "Practitioner" sequence's abilities in the ascetic path:

"The traveler can change his appearance and body shape in densely populated areas and can withstand heavy damage to continue fighting."

Be careful not to step on his footprints within three seconds, otherwise your movement will be restricted and you will be detected. The fatal weakness of the Walker sequence is the heart.

"I see!"

Xu Lindong felt a chill run down his spine. He had already chased to the other end of the overpass and locked onto the foreigner with curly brown hair in front of him.

"Thank goodness... I didn't escape."

He immediately slowed his pace, and the suffocating feeling subsided slightly as he rapidly processed the information Lu Qian had given him.

His gaze was fixed on Simon's retreating figure, following him as he turned into the alleyway, his thoughts racing:

"It looks like they're heading to the city square... There are a lot of people there, and once they blend into the crowd, it will be difficult to track them down, given the traveler's ability to hide."

He immediately communicated with Lu Qian through the telepathic connection.

"Captain Lu, the Traveler can quickly change his appearance and physique... We must intercept him here!"

The faceless mask's effect won't last long; once I remove it, my tracking will be exposed.

"It would be best to make the move right here in this deserted alley and take it down directly."

This seems to be the safest option.

Lu Qian hesitated for less than a moment before sending her thoughts.

How confident are you?

Xu Lindong: "Going all out, I'm 90% confident!"

Lu Qian's inner voice responded: "Think it through. If the other side realizes they are outmatched and releases that evil bicycle, the situation will deteriorate rapidly, and you will also be in danger."

Xu Lindong said, "If we don't take action now and wait for them to blend into the crowd before taking action, not only will it be much more difficult, but it may also drag a large number of innocent people into danger."

Lu Qian's inner voice was resolute: "You are authorized to act. You must be ruthless and swift enough to kill him in one strike, leaving him no chance to resist."

"good!"

Xu Lindong took a deep breath, his eyes gradually sharpening as he pondered.

"The worst-case scenario... if he really releases the bicycle, I won't be able to imprison him. Perhaps I'll have to turn to the Goddess Houtu for help... but that would be a last resort."

"I have never been able to find out Houtu Niangniang's true intentions. If it really comes to that, perhaps I can use this opportunity to test her."

"It's always better to find out now than to suffer more later if things remain unclear."

His mind raced, but his pace quickened, and he closed the distance between himself and the pedestrians ahead.

Now, the only thing he wasn't sure about was where the other party had hidden that eerie bicycle.

Perhaps some kind of supernatural entity has imprisoned it; unless the opponent is killed, it is impossible to detect with the naked eye.

But as the distance closed, the Tower of Babel around his neck began to stir.

This undoubtedly indicates that the other party is hiding that unusual and sinister bicycle.

At this moment, we have already traversed more than half of this alleyway, which is no more than a hundred meters long.

The loud music from the exit ahead could be faintly heard.

Xu Lindong's eyes sharpened:

"Let's do it!"

He suddenly darted forward, and almost simultaneously, golden-red flames erupted from his entire body.

He unleashed a deadly move right from the start: the Descent of the Kitchen God!

boom!!

A blazing, golden-red fire rose from Xu Lindong's body.

With the blessing of the Kitchen God, the fire in the stove was more intense than ever before.

This caused Xu Lindong to resemble a giant fireball, instantly crashing into Simon's back.

Simon sensed something was wrong almost instantly.

He turned around abruptly, only to be met with a hand engulfed in flames.

She grabbed his neck in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he was burned and his skin was torn open, emitting a burnt smell.

However, he didn't even let out a scream before decisively striking, his fingernails growing longer and sharper like steel knives.

But as soon as his hand moved, a terrifying and icy suppressive force was generated from his neck, making his blood feel eerily cold.

Despite the excruciating burning pain in my skin, my body felt icy cold.

His hand movements suddenly froze, but his body was still trembling in excruciating pain.

However, in the next instant, the fierce stove fire burst open like a bursting ball of fire in the dimly lit alley with a 'boom'.

Simon's head was like a piece of dead wood that was rapidly burned, dried up, and then exploded under the impact of the flames, killing him instantly.

Xu Lindong was surrounded by dazzling golden-red flames, and his hair seemed to be burning and dancing, except for his right hand, which emitted a cold, bluish-black color.

His eyes blazed with golden-red light as he stared at the headless corpse in his hand, and relaxed slightly.

As expected, it was a fatal blow!

For superhumans of the same rank, he only needed to use the Fire of the Hearth to descend, and the opponent would have absolutely no chance to resist.

Not to mention that the arrival of the stove fire was compounded by the blessing of the Kitchen God, who also used his ghostly hand.

This level of sneak attack could potentially cause even a powerful expert at the ninth rank to pay a heavy price if caught off guard.

But Xu Lindong didn't think it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

As long as you eliminate the opponent cleanly and decisively, without giving them any chance to unleash the evil bicycle, you'll be fine.

Then this mission is perfectly completed.

Fortunately, we didn't reach that final step, and we didn't have to risk testing Houtu Niangniang.

"what!"

Just then, two screams suddenly came from across the alley.

Two girls walked from the bustling street across the street and screamed in terror when they saw the headless corpse that Xu Lindong was carrying in the alley, which looked like a human torch.

Xu Lindong turned around and hissed, "The Supernatural Division is handling a case. Everyone get out of the way. It's dangerous here!"

After saying that, he immediately reached out and touched Simon's corpse in front of him, trying to find the special supernatural object that sealed the evil bicycle.

If divine objects have the fewest side effects, then evil objects have the greatest, most malevolent, and most bizarre side effects.

So, supernatural objects are something in between, with moderate side effects, but they are strange and evil.

Unless one is suppressed by the Tower of Babel and then motivated by merit, there are always terrible side effects.

However, the moment Xu Lindong's hand touched Simon's body, he immediately felt the Tower of Babel on his neck become even more agitated.

Almost simultaneously, Simon's body shuddered violently, and a huge, horrific wound suddenly tore open from his chest to his abdomen, ripping his clothes and causing blood and internal organs to gush out instantly.

Suddenly, out of that huge wound, a bicycle handlebar emerged strangely, and the bicycle bell was even ringing.

"Ring ring... Ring ring..."

The eerie bicycle bell echoed through the dimly lit alley, and Xu Lindong instantly felt a chill run down his spine, his body feeling icy cold even though he was surrounded by the stove fire.

An extremely fierce and immense force of resistance emanated from the corpse he was holding.

The eerie bicycle was actually inside Simon's body.

This is simply unbelievable.

From a structural and spatial perspective, it's impossible for a human body to contain something the size of a bicycle.

It could only be that supernatural object.

Simon hid the supernatural object inside his body, and then he hid the bicycle inside his body as well.

The moment it dies, the supernatural object loses its supernatural power, and the evil bicycle is about to break free from the corpse.

Xu Lindong thought that by decisively killing the other party, he could control the situation, find the supernatural object that sealed the evil bicycle, and complete the mission.

But the situation is quite the opposite now.

He reacted quickly, and before the bicycle was completely out of his reach, he reached out and grabbed one of the handlebars.

They attempted to take this opportunity to directly imprison the evil bicycle inside the Tower of Babel.

However, the moment his ghostly hand grasped the eerie bicycle, his palm felt as if it had been struck hard by a giant hammer, and he was almost bounced away.

A terrifying force emanated from the handlebars of the eerie bicycle, seemingly beyond his control.

"The Ghost Hand cannot be suppressed!"

Xu Lindong's expression changed drastically...

...
