My supernatural profession is too unique.

"Brother Ling, you're amazing!"

"This earned him a third-class merit."

Yang Wenping said with a face full of envy.

A third-class merit means that Li Ling will have a much better chance of being promoted than him in the future.

"A bit of luck!"

Li Ling said modestly.

Seeing that Lu Lingyun and the others had already walked out the door, he said, "Go outside and set up a cordon. I'll leave this to you."

"To avoid inhaling the corpse's evil energy when we burn the zombies later."

"Brother Ling, be careful!"

Yang Wenping nodded.

Although he was also a stove official, the stove fire was mainly used for refining elixirs, and he didn't have much experience in removing corpse spirits.

Beep beep!

Just as Li Ling was preparing to deal with the zombie, his jade phone vibrated.

Li Ling took it out and looked at it.

Lu Lingyun issued a notice to all staff members in the institute's message group.

"Captains, all officers are to work overtime tonight. Activate the protective arrays at the security booths in your respective areas and search for evil cultivators, especially corpse cultivators, within your jurisdiction."

"A corpse cultivator has appeared at Xijiang Port and has even set up a corpse array. Everyone should search carefully and not overlook any suspicious place."

Xie Gui replied immediately: "Chief, what's going on? I just inspected Xijiang Port a few days ago and didn't find anything unusual."

Second Team Leader Huang Jianwu: "Roger!"

Team leader Dong Bin: "Roger!"

Team Leader Xiang Jiugong: "Received!"

"In addition, Li Ling, a newly promoted first-level police officer, was awarded a third-class merit for his timely arrest of wanted criminal Bai Zhongkui."

Lu Lingyun continued to distribute information.

"this?"

"On his very first day as a full-fledged employee, he received a third-class merit award—that's impressive!"

"Li Ling is the honor of our third team."

Several police officers in the group expressed their amazement.

Some people simply showed expressions of shock.

Blue words appeared before Li Ling's eyes.

[Stove Officer/Police Officer]: His reputation within the station has improved.

[Kitchen Official/Police Officer]: Favorability +1.

Note: In addition to being brave, police officers also need to have sufficient prestige, which is also one of the attributes of the "Kitchen Officer".

Li Ling glanced at it but didn't take it seriously.

I'm just a first-level police officer right now. Doing my job well is enough. There's no need to worry about prestige for now.

Seeking fame and reputation is something successful people should consider.

Close the chat group.

He dialed He Xiu's number.

After two beeps, He Xiujiao's beautiful face appeared on the screen.

"Hello, senior!"

Li Ling greeted him politely.

"Hello Li Ling!"

He Xiu replied elegantly.

"Senior, I've already investigated Zhongkui's situation."

"This person is a corpse cultivator from the Yuling Sect. According to his confession, Song Shijie ordered him to kill Xu Dehui."

"Bai Zhongkui has now been taken back to the station for investigation."

Li Ling lowered his voice and spoke concisely.

"It really was him."

He Xiu's face turned cold, and she said to Li Ling, "You did a good job this time. Let me know if there is any news about the investigation into Bai Zhongkui."

Li Ling's efficiency and ability were somewhat beyond her expectations.

It seems my choice was correct.

Li Ling will be given important responsibilities in the future.

Since it was Song Shijie who did it, Zhou Meilin must be implicated.

Song Shijie is Zhou Meilin's brother-in-law.

All of this confirms her prediction.

"good!"

Li Ling nodded and then hung up the phone.

He Xiu asked him to inquire about Bai Zhongkui's whereabouts, and he was able to do that.

He immediately refused to be investigated if asked.

Song Shijie was a prominent figure in Xijiang County, someone he couldn't afford to offend.

He put his phone away and walked to the Earthly Fiend Blood Corpse Array.

The core of this evil formation has been destroyed by Lu Lingyun.

Without Bai Zhongkui's control, the three zombies are just inanimate objects and pose no threat whatsoever.

Li Ling took out the recorder.

Take photos of the evil formation from various angles to record it.

The entire array pattern was photographed.

Next, they carefully collected the array patterns and blood energy from the pit as samples for archiving.

Bai Zhongkui was arrested by him; he needs to write a case file when he gets back.

All of this information needs to be collected and recorded completely.

After doing all this, he scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes to check if he had missed anything.

The sky gradually darkened.

After checking for a while, nothing was found.

Li Ling then recited the incantation, and a flash of flame appeared in his hand.

The fire in the stove gathered and emerged.

With a wave of his hand, the stove fire transformed into three flames, which landed on the three blood pits respectively.

Zizi!

As the flames burned, a pungent plume of black smoke billowed out.

This continued for several minutes before the flames finally dimmed.

The blood streaks on the ground and the three-headed zombie in the blood pit were burned to ashes.

[Corpse Collector] Favorability +10 (Complete this month's corpse collection mission)

[Corpse Collector: Affection Level 65/100 (Friendly)]

Note: Unlocks a new skill [Corpse Soul]: There is a certain probability that you can sense information about the corpses you collect.

"call!"

"The 'Corpse Collector's' favorability rating has finally reached 'Friendly'."

Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy on his face.

During this period, a considerable number of corpses were collected.

But the Corpse Collector, driven by lust, would always act up whenever he saw a beautiful woman like Lu Lingyun or He Xiu.

They always have to come up with some tricks to reduce goodwill.

This resulted in a slow progress in overall favorability.

This time, I collected three zombies, completing this month's mission. My favorability increased by 10 points, finally reaching the friendly level.

"What's with this new skill, [Corpse Soul]?"

Looking at the explanation that appeared on the panel, Li Ling raised an eyebrow.

I didn't understand it for a moment.

Is there a probability of sensing information about a corpse?

That feels a bit too general.

You need specific, useful information, right?

However, it doesn't matter.

Something is better than nothing.

As for the specific effects, we'll know when we collect the corpses later.

His gaze continued to sweep across the [Corpse Collector] panel.

······

Technique power: Increased by 40%

Upgrade cost: Reduced by 20%

Unlocked skills: [Corpse Sense], [Corpse Soul].

Favorability events:

[Completed: Over 50 corpses collected this month, affinity +10]

[To be completed: If the number of corpses collected next month exceeds 60, favorability will increase by 10]

"The power of the skill has increased by 40%, making me more confident in fighting against these Yin and evil energies in the future."

Li Ling's face lit up with joy as he thought to himself.

In this world, evil and malevolent forces are extremely common.

Having this job as a "corpse collector" made him feel much more at ease.

"Brother Ling, how are you?"

At this moment, Yang Wenping walked over, looking cautious, and asked a question.

"Everything has been taken care of."

"There are no traces of corpses left in this place."

Li Ling replied.

"I've already sealed off the area. What's the next step?"

Yang Wenping said.

"Go to the port security office, seal off this warehouse, and give the instructions to the security guards."

"Also, see if we can retrieve some video footage of this heretical practitioner's activities at the port during this period."

Li Ling thought for a moment and said.

The two then left the warehouse.

The streetlights outside were just coming on.

A lighting array was set up above the port.

The port and the surrounding sea were brightly lit.

Workers can be seen busily working everywhere at the dock.

People seemed completely unaware of what was happening inside the warehouse.
