My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Investigation into Pan Yu’s Disappearance? Three Departments Jointly Investigate!

“Thankfully, it’s not asking me to spend ten or twenty minutes in that eerie ‘Whispering Trial’.” Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The power of the Mysterious God could actively trigger professional mutation, but the outcome was still uncontrollable.

“Another Tier 2 Advanced Spirit-type profession, it seems simpler than hunting three Tier 2 professionals, but…” Su Chen secretly shook his head.

Tier 2 Advanced Body-type professions could be found in the patrol team and the exploration team.

But for a Spirit-type, Su Chen had never heard of any other Tier 2 Advanced Spirit-type professionals in Southwind City until now, so there was no channel.

“Take it slow. If Southwind City doesn’t have it, Ying Feng definitely will.” Su Chen rubbed his chest. “Perfect, when I evolve to Tier 2 Top-tier, it will also meet the requirements for the [Space Collector].”

Of its three requirements, two remaining were crossing space rifts and a Tier 2 Top-tier Spirit-type profession.

The one-cubic-meter storage space was still a bit cramped; it was almost full storing miscellaneous items and potions.

He wasn’t in the right state for training today, so he decided to rest for a day. He went to the cafeteria and had the chef cook two dishes, satisfying his palate.

Early the next morning, as dawn was breaking, Old Sun arrived, beaming, a metal box in his right hand.

“Little brother, little brother…” He grabbed Su Chen’s hand and only let go after they were in the room. His eyes were crinkled in a smile, and he whispered, “Little brother, this time, I really have to thank you.”

“That was truly a Mysterious God Cult stronghold. We wiped them out completely, caught a few guys, and even some Tier 2 professionals. It’s a huge credit.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Su Chen shook his head. “That’s your credit, elder brother.”

Fatty Sun’s smile widened. “Understood, understood. I’m just here to share my joy with you.”

He placed the metal box on the table. When he opened it, there were five tubes of Mist Nightmare Pearl potion.

Fatty Sun sighed, “You were brought into the Supervision Department by me. No one knows your diligence better than I do. The three tubes provided by the department every week are simply not enough.”

“Take these for now.”

“Brother Sun, you’re truly wasted in the Internal Affairs Section,” Su Chen said sincerely.

Fatty Sun felt comfortable. He whispered, “To be honest, little brother, even though I’m broad-minded and corpulent, I also have aspirations.”

“But the Internal Affairs Section doesn’t operate on the front lines, and without substantial achievements, it’s difficult to gain the position of Deputy Director.”

Su Chen suddenly understood and said, “Actually, I will leave Southwind City sooner or later.”

Leaving sooner or later meant that the position and achievements in the Supervision Department were useless to him; only benefits were truly practical.

Fatty Sun nodded in understanding. “Southwind City can’t hold a true dragon like you.”

After sending off Fatty Sun, Su Chen looked at the potions on the table and shook his head with a laugh, “Am I killing two birds with one stone?”

His chest was still throbbing faintly. The branch department had common wound-healing ointments, but those were of no use even to Tier 1 professionals, let alone him.

After downing a mouthful of Aura Potion, Su Chen entered the training room. His physical injuries didn’t affect the operation of his meditation method.

“The Mysterious Tool Master’s profession is almost maxed out. After advancing, my abilities will transform, and my strength will further increase.”

After meditating until mid-afternoon, Su Chen felt dizzy and headed out to call Zhang Hengyu to the cafeteria for dinner.

The kid seemed to be stifled, exuding a kind of melancholy. As soon as he came out of his room, he started chattering with Su Chen.

“…I’m about to advance to a Tier 2 professional,” Zhang Hengyu suddenly blurted out.

Su Chen looked up at him, a little perfunctorily, and said, “Congratulations, congratulations.”

Zhang Hengyu paused, but Su Chen said, “If you really can’t take it, go out for a walk. If you really develop a problem, your father and sister will come after me.”

“I can handle it.” Zhang Hengyu instinctively retorted. The intensity of his training during this period was unprecedented.

Training should balance work and rest, as prolonged, monotonous, and arduous training can easily lead to mental damage, placing one at a disadvantage when facing certain mental attacks in the future.

He had always had a strict training plan, but it was disrupted after he arrived here.

Because he found that Su Chen never went out, staying in his room to practice all day. He found it difficult to endure resting while Su Chen was strenuously training.

“…However…” Zhang Hengyu changed his tone, persuasively, with a hint of shame and twinkling eyes: “Training should balance work and rest, otherwise, psychological problems can easily arise.”

He felt uneasy if he didn’t train himself, but it was comforting if both of them slacked off together.

“If I were that fragile, I would have had problems when I was a Vagrant,” Su Chen said, sipping his soup with a comfortable sigh, and that offhand remark made Zhang Hengyu’s face flush.

Before the two had finished eating, Section Chief Hou Xu arrived, surprised, “Section Chief Su, you actually came out today.”

“Staying in the room all the time, I’m going moldy,” Su Chen shifted in his seat, still holding a golden, shiny piece of meat. “Chief, would you like to eat something with us?”

“No.” Hou Xu waved his hand, explaining, “Someone from headquarters will be here in a moment to ask you something.”

“Headquarters?” Su Chen’s heart stirred slightly. Fatty Sun hadn’t informed him in advance.

Old Sun didn’t know either?

“What’s the situation, coming so suddenly?” Su Chen asked seemingly casually.

“…” Hou Xu hesitated slightly, glancing left and right. The cafeteria was empty at this time. He sat next to Su Chen and looked at Zhang Hengyu.

Zhang Hengyu blinked, appearing a little confused.

Hou Xu was speechless, but Su Chen said, “It’s fine, Old Zhang is one of us.”

Hou Xu leaned forward, his head slightly lowered, and then whispered, “This time is very unusual. Among them are the Patrol Division Chief and someone from the Supervision Department, and there’s another fellow I don’t know, but the other two defer to him. I estimate he’s from the Exploration Department.”

“A joint investigation by three departments is no small matter.”

Su Chen’s movements paused slightly, his thoughts racing. He had so many secret dealings that it was hard to determine exactly why they were here.

Hou Xu stopped there. Su Chen pondered, finished the food on his plate, and returned to his room.

“Three departments investigating jointly…” Su Chen muttered, sent a message to Old Sun, and got no reply for now.

He sniffed himself; there was a fermented sweat smell, so he decided to take a shower first.

Hum–

Azure wind currents swirled around him, and the dripping water on his body gradually dried. Su Chen looked in the mirror, as usual, switching to “Heituo Cultist.”

Now, he would turn into a Heituo Cultist once or twice a day to conduct probes.

Since he last detected a Guiding, there had been no peculiar sensations for some time.

But today was different. The moment he switched, he immediately sensed something unusual.

“A Guiding?” Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, then he shook his head. “No, the sensation is too faint, like the last time I faced a real Heituo Cultist.”

He sensed carefully, his face changing slightly, and he suddenly looked down: “It’s right here! Heituo Cultist!”

“An undercover agent hidden here? No, that’s not right. It’s been so many days, and this is the first time I’ve sensed it.”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A knock at the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Su Chen’s thoughts.

He opened the door and saw a clerical supervisor from the sub-bureau, with shoulder-length short hair. Her gaze swept over Su Chen’s bare upper body, not feeling shy.

Meeting Su Chen’s questioning gaze, she explained, “Director Hou asked me to inform you that they’ve arrived.”

“Three departments investigating jointly?” Su Chen’s heart stirred, realizing something, but he maintained a calm facade. “I understand, I’ll be right down.”

“There’s a ghost among the arrivals…” Su Chen changed his clothes. The perception between believers only worked when they were very close.

“Since I just sensed him, he probably sensed me too.”
