My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 33

Chapter 33: The Victim: How Did the Sky Change?!

“I understand, I’ll have them go over immediately.” Yuan Chenyang pondered.

After the figures moved away, he said, “Zhang Hongbo, that old fox, who knows what he’s thinking again.”

As expected, a body search, Su Chen couldn’t help but think.

The two had established a preliminary foundation of trust, and Su Chen seized the opportunity to say, “Teacher, Zhou Xian clearly has a problem. When he left the school, he was obviously trying to hide something.”

“So impatient?” Yuan Chenyang retorted, “Who do you think he is, just a small soldier? It’s not that easy to deal with him.”

Su Chen, seeing his careful plans exposed, didn’t feel embarrassed and continued, “Doesn’t the City Lord have some kind of hypnotic method?”

“The City Lord’s ability cannot be used casually. It will cause extreme mental damage, unless there is definite corroboration. Moreover, Zhou Xian was appointed as the head of internal affairs by Ying Feng…” Yuan Chenyang shook his head, then suddenly paused, looking suspiciously at the thoughtful Su Chen.

Where did such a cunning fellow come from?

He changed his tone: “Don’t worry, you are my student now, and he can’t just casually use you.”

After he spoke, Yuan Chenyang clearly saw the surprise in Su Chen’s eyes and couldn’t help but slam his hand on the table, “Do you think I’m a fool?”

“How could I? Your insight is naturally keen,” Su Chen quickly said.

“Alright…” Yuan Chenyang snorted and stood up, “I’ll go for a bit, you guys can go check later.”

Watching Yuan Chenyang leave, he then turned his head and said, “You’re looking at me like that again.”

Facing Su Chen’s gaze, Bai Fengxi moved her eyes away and said indifferently, “He’s a good person, you don’t need to be so tense.”

“We’re different,” Su Chen shook his head. Since he actively sought them out, he naturally had to be more humble.

“You’ve finally gotten what you wanted.” Bai Fengxi’s words carried a sense of emotion. The current Su Chen was completely different from the one she remembered.

But on second thought, who isn’t wearing a mask? Hmm… except for Little Pigeon.

“Struggling for survival in the cracks, seeking life in death…” Su Chen’s tone was calm, then he asked, “By the way, Old Bai, what were those Black Tuluo and Mysterious God Cult that the City Lord mentioned before?”

Bai Fengxi thought for a moment and explained, “Black Tuluo is a type of mysterious god.”

Before Su Chen could ask what a “mysterious god” was, she explained, “Mysterious gods are powerful beings with incredible power. You can gain extraordinary abilities through sacrifice.”

“But it will also make the contact person gradually go mad and disregard their own family.”

Su Chen suddenly understood, so it was a cult.

“Are they the ones who caused the mist?” Su Chen thought for a moment and asked.

“There’s no such saying, it seems…” Bai Fengxi shook her head.

“Then when did the mist appear?” Su Chen pressed.

“I don’t know about that. Anyway, it’s been so long that everyone is used to it.”

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully, Bai Fengxi also didn’t know much.

“Also, what should you call me now?” Bai Fengxi’s eyes held a teasing look.

“Uh…” Su Chen wasn’t shy, and immediately called out, “Senior Sister.”

Bai Fengxi’s usually emotionless face finally showed a strange, ineffable smile, “Who told you I’m Yuan Chenyang’s student?”

“You… aren’t his student?” Su Chen was truly stunned.

Bai Fengxi said with reserve, “Yuan Chenyang is my senior brother. He accepted me as a student on behalf of Teacher.”

“Ah?” Su Chen was genuinely surprised.

Bai Fengxi watched Su Chen’s reaction, her lips silently curving upwards, “This is a secret. Besides you, only the City Lord knows about it.”

…………

“…Killed in one blow…” Zhang Hongbo bowed and examined the wounds on the lions.

Before the dismemberment could be completed, the subtle wound on the head was clearly visible.

“Yes, yes.” The slightly nervous Hu Xiang behind him said, “Brother Su Chen, the method he used must have been extraordinary, so he was building up energy from the very beginning of the attack.”

“Not simple at all…” Zhang Hongbo stood up, smiling ambiguously, “Building up energy?”

Hu Xiang lowered his head, but then heard the terrifying question.

“You said you would give Su Chen an explanation during the fight. What explanation?” Zhang Hongbo’s tone was flat, but Hu Xiang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He caught a glimpse of Old Zhao standing nearby.

Colluding with outsiders to harm academy students was a taboo for the City Lord.

“This…” Hu Xiang’s hair stood on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

“You performed meritorious service in protection, and Su Chen spoke up for you. You also spoke up for him. In any case, merits and demerits cancel each other out. This matter is over.” Zhang Hongbo said indifferently.

Splash—

Hu Xiang immediately knelt on one knee, like a drowning man struggling to reach shore. The relief of surviving made his voice tremble, “Thank you, City Lord.”

“Thank yourself.” Zhang Hongbo’s figure walked past, meeting Yuan Chenyang.

“Your student is not simple at all…” He pointed at the lion pack’s corpses and praised, “Twelve first-order mutated species, fifteen ordinary mutated species, killed in one blow, the battle process did not exceed ten minutes.”

So powerful?

Yuan Chenyang was also shocked. He still didn’t understand the specific battle process.

He originally thought it was a difficult kill in cooperation with the city patrol, but he didn’t expect it to be Su Chen’s solo stage. Is that profession really that powerful?

“Su Chen has a good talent, I’m specifically training him.” He said calmly. Zhang Hongbo seemed to casually say, “It seems to be a physical profession. What level of talent? Bronze? Or brilliant silver?”

Yuan Chenyang’s expression remained unchanged, “Brilliant silver.”

“The pillar of my Southwind City…” Zhang Hongbo’s eyes flickered slightly as he sighed.

Yuan Chenyang was unwilling to delve further into the topic of Su Chen, so he asked, “City Lord, how should we deal with Zhou Xian?”

“Deal with him?” Zhang Hongbo frowned, “Did you find any evidence?”

“No,” Yuan Chenyang shook his head.

Zhang Hongbo was displeased, “If his son isn’t involved, why are you so sure his father is? What kind of father would use his son to transport such important items?”

“I understand.” Yuan Chenyang nodded as if he had long expected it.

Zhang Hongbo sighed, “Ying Feng’s people are close at hand. We are all colleagues and should help each other.”

Yuan Chenyang remained silent, then asked, “Why the sudden body search? Did something else turn up?”

“Zhou Xian believes that since there’s Tang Chen, it’s hard to guarantee there aren’t other believers in the team. Go investigate thoroughly.” Zhang Hongbo briefly explained.

“Is that all?” Yuan Chenyang frowned.

Zhang Hongbo glanced at him, “Four months ago, Yunlan sent a cooperation notice that three space crystals were lost, and there’s a clue that they flowed into our area.”

“Aren’t they already checked?” Yuan Chenyang knew about this.

Zhang Hongbo looked at the camp where everyone was carrying out their duties, “What if? Since the Holy Word Stone is being sent out, the space crystals might also be.”

………

In the camp, a long line formed, men and women separated. The Exploration Team conducted a detailed “inspection,” and some individuals silently moved through the tents.

They took off their clothes and were scanned by a certain instrument. It was soon Su Chen’s turn, and there were no issues.

“No abnormalities?” Zhou Xian’s cheeks twitched slightly as he listened to the Exploration Team’s report.

Zhang Hongbo shook his head, disappointed, “Go back.”

With things mostly packed up, everyone set off to return. With the Southwind City bigshots accompanying them, there were no incidents along the way.

……

Three days later

“Finally back.” Su Chen looked at the magnificent city walls, and cheers erupted beside him.

The team was quite bloated, and it took a few more days to accommodate these students.

However, he didn’t idle. With Yuan Chenyang’s backing, he had been training on the way back, and the black flame potion was already used up.

[Molten Rock Training Method – Proficient: 10%]

[Riftwalker Warrior: 36%]

Zhang Hongbo granted three days off, and the other students naturally cheered and dispersed.

Hu Xiang communicated with him, and after returning to tally the value of the Green-Scaled Lions and completing the procedures, he would send him the money.

The news of the students’ return immediately caused a stir. The patrol time was too short, and even the City Lord accompanied them on their way back.

Many well-informed people immediately began to inquire, trying to find out what had happened.

………

“What good are you?!”

In the room, Zhou Xian’s eyes were bloodshot. Zhou Zong’s body lay on the Metal Platform, the missing half of his head particularly striking.

“Could that Su Chen be a vagrant?!”

Qi Chuan, kneeling on the ground, was sweating profusely. He had no idea what had happened. As soon as he was called, he saw Zhou Zong’s corpse and the furious Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian’s voice was hoarse, “Qi Chuan, you disappointed me too much this time.”

“Hm?” Qi Chuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously asked, “Can you tell me what exactly happened?”

“Su Chen killed twelve first-order Azure-scaled Giant Lions in ten minutes.”

“How is that possible!” Qi Chuan exclaimed, his expression greatly shaken, “He’s clearly just a vagrant, how could he…”

“Still calling him a vagrant!” Zhou Xian interrupted furiously, electric arcs crackling in the air, “He, he is Yuan Chenyang’s student!”

“That old bastard somehow discovered a clue and had Su Chen secretly lie low in the patrol team.”

“Zhou Zong’s death must be related to him!”

Su Chen was still Yuan Chenyang’s student?

Qi Chuan was stunned, not expecting that after leaving the city, the situation would completely change upon his return.

Zhou Xian looked down at Qi Chuan coldly, “I want to know everything about him. This is your last chance.”

Shadows enveloped Qi Chuan. He braced himself and agreed, “Please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation!”
