I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 94, Chapter 093: Advancing to Gatekeeper, Shield Breaks Through the Gate (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader, Full Moon)

In the rest room of the Department of Mysteries, East District, Jiangcheng.

Xu Lindong's consciousness was immersed in the Tower of Babel, his palm pressed tightly against the tunnel door.

He was already fully aware of the difference between the inside and outside of the gate.

He could also clearly sense the approaching evil zombie behind the door.

The zombie's breath and the hissing sounds produced by the vibrations of its dry vocal cords allowed him to clearly judge distances.

He suddenly exerted force on his palm pressed against the door, and an extraordinary energy burst forth.

Break the Army!

The phantom of the golden mace materialized from the edge of his palm, carrying a fierce force capable of tearing through the barrier, and slammed into the door panel.

A loud "boom"!

Amidst the billowing dust, a twisted zombie figure was violently thrown away by the shockwave, crashing into the depths of the tunnel like a broken bag.

As the zombie's body flew backward, its shrunken chest cavity visibly collapsed, and putrid fluid and bone fragments gushed out from the cracks, drawing several filthy arcs in the dim tunnel.

"!!"

It crashed heavily to the ground several feet away, twitched twice, and then lay still. Only the remaining golden-red energy sizzled and burned like embers on its charred wounds.

"Wow, that's incredibly powerful! Even though I held back, I still almost killed that zombie."

Having easily repelled the zombies behind the door, Xu Lindong withdrew his hand, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of the door gods.

He ignored the zombie and allowed the power of the Tower of Babel to reseal it.

As long as a zombie doesn't die, its injuries will slowly heal, especially in a dark and gloomy environment like a tunnel room.

He then broke part of the seal on the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel and extracted some of the curse energy from the sealed underworld messengers.

The seal had barely been broken when the underworld official cried out.

"Kill me! Please—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he resealed the underworld messenger.

The sound stopped abruptly.

After doing all this, his consciousness slowly returned to his body.

Instantly, clear fluctuations of extraordinary power surged through the room like a gust of wind, before slowly receding and gathering around him.

Strange patterns appeared on his face, resembling scribbled symbols or the phantom of a burly warrior holding a golden mace.

Before long, these lines gradually seeped into the skin of his face, revealing his original, cold and stern face.

hum!

A powerful and fierce surge of energy, fluctuating like a heartbeat, erupted and spread from his body, sweeping across the entire room like a pulse.

Then this force surged toward the door, causing the wooden door panel to gleam with a pale golden-red luster, as if it were imbued with some special and powerful force, making it indestructible.

The golden-red extraordinary energy did not stop, but continued to spread outwards, affecting the entrances of other surrounding lounges.

In the room across the hall, Xiao Mufeng had just finished showering and was drying his hair when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He turned around and saw his room door glowing with a golden-red light, and his expression changed slightly.

"The power of the gatekeeper sequence?"

She frowned, wrapped herself in a peach-colored silk robe, walked to the door, and tentatively grasped the doorknob and turned it.

Not moving.

"Could it be the senior? He broke through? How did he do it? Did he just use some kind of evil artifact to easily break through?"

Xiao Mufeng was initially surprised, but then he realized that when many people first broke through, their power surged and they became unfamiliar with it, making it difficult to control it precisely. This often caused their own sequence power to leak out, which was normal.

She felt a sense of relief, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, revealing a playful expression. The mole on her lip, which looked quite adorable, added to her charm.

"This is a rare opportunity, perfect for me, a junior, to test my senior's abilities."

Xiao Mufeng turned around, grabbed the charcoal-fired revolver from the table, and with a "click," opened the magazine and chambered a bullet.

She raised her arm, her fair fingers pulled the trigger, and fired several shots cleanly and decisively at the door.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"

The intense flames from the stove, carrying a specially made bullet, exploded on the door panel, making the entire door vibrate and hum.

The crisp, echoing sound of spent cartridges hitting the ground was clear and resonant.

However, the golden-red aura remained undiminished, still firmly covering the facade, leaving not even a trace on the aluminum alloy door handle.

"So strong!"

Xiao Mufeng's face flashed with surprise, "Senior, your power was just unconsciously leaking out, and even a supernatural weapon can't break through it?"

As she was still in shock, screams and shouts came from the other rooms around her.

"Who dared to fire a shot inside the company premises?"

"Holy crap, who sealed my door? Is Grandpa Liu back?"

Li Yunfan, who had just finished his shift and was changing shifts next door, banged on the door, but couldn't open it no matter what he did.

"What's going on? I need to use the restroom, but the door won't open. Who did this?"

In another break room, Tang Lei raised his voice: "Is it Grandpa Liu back? Or Team Leader Pei?"

The rest area in this area is almost entirely occupied by members of Team Three.

Everyone's first reaction was that Grandpa Liu, who was sometimes confused and seemed to have Alzheimer's, had come back to play a prank.

But soon, this power belonging to the door gods began to recede and gradually dissipate.

Tang Lei loosened his belt and breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the door and opened it with a puzzled look.

The corridor was deserted, with only the incandescent lights flickering abnormally under the influence of supernatural forces.

He saw the golden-red extraordinary energy on the doors of the other rooms converging on the leftmost corner room like a tide.

"That's... Xu Lindong's room? Could it be...?"

Tang Lei's gaze sharpened, his expression one of astonishment.

"Holy crap, Dong-ge! Did Dong-ge break through to become a gatekeeper? Did he set up the ritual himself?"

Li Yunfan, dressed in flashy shorts, pushed open the door and exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with admiration and astonishment.

He had barely mastered the stove and was already feeling triumphant when Xu Lindong was promoted to the position of door god.

Even though the other person only entered the Department of Supernatural Affairs two months earlier than him, they have already left him far behind.

"As expected of a senior, he said he was preparing for a breakthrough yesterday, and he succeeded today, all in his own room..."

""

"So it really was achieved by relying on ordinary evil artifacts? That's incredibly powerful."

Xiao Mufeng opened the door a crack, looked outside, and then quickly closed it again.

Inside the room, the lights flickered.

Xu Lindong slowly withdrew the power of the scattered gatekeeper sequence.

The power that sealed off all portals eventually returned to the body.

He felt his face burning, as if something was on fire, before it subsided.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly.

Another pair of eerie door god pupils seemed to appear in his eyes, shooting out divine light, radiating power, staring directly at the door opposite.

In his eyes, the door was as transparent as if it were transparent, with no obstruction whatsoever, and the view outside was clearly visible.

Even the other doors that were covered when the power expanded outwards seemed to have opened "peepholes" for him.

The movements, clutter, and figures in the room behind the door were all clearly visible.

This seems to be the door god's ability to observe good and evil inside and outside the door, using the door as a boundary; it is the eye of the gate.

Moreover, when the power of the door gods is concentrated at a single doorway, it forms a powerful protective force, making the entire room indestructible and able to resist external evils.

"That's not all—"

Xu Lindong stood up, stepped onto the soft plush carpet, and tried to mobilize the extraordinary power within his body.

He slowly crossed his hands, assuming a defensive stance in front of him.

In an instant, two illusory figures resembling golden maces appeared, quickly intertwining to form a thick, door-shaped shield with flowing golden light.

The shield made the fine hairs on his arms glow, protecting him within it.

This is the basic ability of the Gatekeeper sequence: [Gatekeeper Shield]!

Because he absorbed the extraordinary substance from Qin Qiong's Door God Post, his shield took the form of two golden maces, and his gestures and postures were different from those of other door gods.

This is not a secret technique like "Po Jun".

He naturally comprehended the basic abilities of the door gods after absorbing the door god scroll.

However, to unleash its full potential and increase its power, diligent practice is still necessary.

Xu Lindong took out his extraordinary phone and reported that he had successfully broken through to the Martial Guardian level of the Guardian God route, as for the evil object used in the breakthrough ceremony.

He walked to the tabletop covered with a slab of rock.

Move the enamel cup off the table and take out a prepared sedan chair for the Kitchen God.

Then, he turned his thoughts and infused the trace of Yin-Yang curse energy he had just absorbed from the tower into the Kitchen God's sedan chair.

The Kitchen God's sedan chair immediately began to shrink, turn black, and exude a cold, cursed aura before breaking down.

"With this thing, even if they ask about the evil artifacts used in the ritual, it'll be enough to get away with it."

Xu Lindong took out his Superb phone and took a picture.

The Kitchen God's sedan chair, which sealed away the curse of the underworld officials, can also be considered a sealed evil object.

However, with his current strength, the harm caused by this thing is extremely weak and completely controllable.

When some people break through the gatekeepers, they also seek out similar evil objects tainted with malevolent energy as ritual objects, with the final destruction of the evil object being the mark of success.

However, this method of breakthrough is quite difficult, and it is hard to successfully comprehend the power of the door gods and understand the separation between the inside and outside in one go.

Therefore, Xu Lindong still chose to break through using the zombies directly inside the Tower of Babel.

However, on the surface, one should naturally pretend that one broke through using ordinary evil objects.

He had come into contact with the curse aura of the underworld officials several times before, and had even sealed it once; all of this was recorded.

After this is properly handled...

He turned and walked to the wooden door, stretched out his hand, and gripped the aluminum doorknob tightly.

In that instant, he felt as if he had transformed into a martial general or gatekeeper, majestic and incredibly strong.

It was as if one could directly enter the gate, one's whole body shrouded in gold, a one-man pass that could not be breached by ten thousand.

He slightly bent his front leg and suddenly pushed.

The way the door opens is like a shield-wielding warrior charging forward with his shield.

It's also a basic skill: breaking down doors!

With a physical portal in place, the power of this move will be significantly enhanced.

Even without a gate, it can unleash a powerful impact force by using its own "gatekeeper shield" as a gate.

The door suddenly burst open!

call! !

There was no one outside the door, only a gust of wind that whipped up, causing several potted green plants in the corner of the corridor to sway violently, and the incandescent lights in the corridor to flicker.

But Xu Lindong had already figured out the power of this move.

If there was anyone outside the door just now, their fate would be the same as the zombies in the Tower of Babel—absolutely a kill as soon as the door opens!

"Wow! Dong-ge!"

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the line, "You've broken through to become a goalkeeper?"

Xu Lindong had already noticed Li Yunfan and the others outside the room. He turned his head, nodded and smiled, "I just used an evil object to complete the ritual breakthrough by chance. I didn't control the power well, so I'm sorry to have disturbed you all."

""

"Hey, don't be so polite! Dong-ge, now that you've made a breakthrough, you should treat us again, right? I'd love for you to bother me every day, you can even sleep in my room!"

Li Yunfan laughed heartily and walked over, wearing flip-flops.

"Ah, ah—Dong-ge, your promotion is too fast! How did you arrange the ceremony?"

Wang Shuo, who was in the next room, came out while putting on his clothes. He quickly changed the "A Dong" he was about to say to "Brother Dong" after saying "Ah Ba" twice.

When everyone is at Sequence 10, they are equals and can call each other by name or "Dongzi".

But now that Xu Lindong has risen to Sequence Nine, the level is different, so it's not appropriate to call him that casually.

"Let's wait until things stabilize before deciding on a celebratory dinner."

'

Upon hearing about the invitation, Xu Lindong's penniless streak kicked in. He chuckled and dodged the question, pointing instead to the Kitchen God's sedan chair on the table inside the house.

"As for the evil artifact used in the ritual, it's right there. It was destroyed by my opening the door. I was lucky; I was just trying it out."

"Brother Dong, your talent is too strong. You completed the ritual breakthrough with just a simple evil artifact."

Wang Shuo said admiringly.

Xu Lindong smiled and changed the subject, asking a question.

"Where are the others? I don't see Xiao Qing or those newcomers."

Li Yunfan said, "Xiao Qing took my shift and went to guard the goal."

Xia Ping and Ning Che went to the East District General Hospital with Dr. Lei. They heard that the situation outside the city was very bad, and many wounded were brought back last night.

"So that's how it is."

Xu Lindong nodded, then suddenly took out his extraordinary phone to check the latest news, and his expression changed slightly.

"The second batch of Sequence Nine superhumans arrived on the battlefield at 3 AM and replaced the first batch. Why hasn't Captain Lu returned?"

Wang Shuo frowned: "I was wondering the same thing. Not only Captain Lu, but Director Zheng and Captain Jiang haven't returned either."

1

Li Yunfan chimed in, "It should be fine. I called Ning Che to ask."

He said he had asked the wounded in the hospital and that the situation outside the city was basically under control.

It seems the chief security advisor has returned to oversee operations and is resealing the sinkhole, but the exact number of casualties is still unclear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lindong's extraordinary phone vibrated.

He picked it up and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Shuo asked.

"New information has arrived from the front."

Xu Lindong looked at him strangely. "Look at your own phones."

Although Li Yunfan and Wang Shuo were using ordinary mobile phones, they were still able to receive group messages from the company.

The two looked down and were both surprised.

"Dong-ge, you've been promoted to acting captain?"

"Has something happened to Captain Lu?" Wang Shuo's expression tightened.

The latest notice clearly states that Xu Lindong has been appointed as the acting captain of the third team.

In addition, a briefing on the upcoming mission and a summary of intelligence were also attached.

This promotion notice was issued by Deputy Director Tan Guanlan, and it followed a formal procedure; it wasn't as simple as just casually calling someone an "acting team leader."

Deputy Director Tan usually focuses on logistics, and his role in personnel transfers is mostly coordination.

Now that Director Zheng is not in the department, it is clear that she has taken over command and has begun direct dispatch.

Xu Lindong looked at the news of the temporary promotion, but he felt no joy at all.

The mission description that has been sent now mentions that Lu Qian and some other personnel have lost contact.

Losing contact at this critical juncture outside the city means the situation is very dangerous.

He frowned and looked at Li Yunfan. "You all get ready. According to the current information, we will be going outside the city to carry out the cleanup mission in three hours."

As he spoke, his tone turned somber: "The situation outside the city is complicated now, and there are very few clues about Captain Lu's disappearance. It probably won't be easy for us to go out and search."

Li Yunfan and Wang Shuo's expressions immediately turned serious.

"Notify the others!"

Xu Lindong thought for a moment, then turned and went into the house to get his extraordinary equipment.

He felt it was a bit rushed.

However, he had been preparing for the competition all along and had already made mental preparations.

It was expected that they would now be fighting outside the city.

The only thing that surprised him was that Team Leader Lu and Director Zheng, among others, did not return after the second batch of replacement personnel arrived, and Lu Qian had also disappeared...
