My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Xia Hanshi Visits

“This matter cannot be delayed for too long. For every day it’s delayed, there’s a new variable. Who knows how powerful that thing is? We must inform the higher-ups as soon as possible.”

Su Chen pondered, but his body had already entered the gravity room. He gulped down two potions, struck a pose, and a stream of wind surged through his limbs and bones.

Like a blunt knife carving through flesh, his muscles twitched, and waves of pain washed over him.

Su Chen had long been accustomed to it, but today, he stopped abruptly after only a short period of exercise, his eyes snapping open.

In his mental perception, two individuals with considerable life force had entered within ten meters of him.

“One on the left, one on the right, sneaking around… But they’re just Tier 2 Professionals, not Zhou Xian.” Su Chen stopped, quickly pulled out a nutrient potion, and put it in his mouth.

Since coming here, he had never pushed himself to exhaustion during training; his vigilance was extremely high, and it played a crucial role today.

“Zhang Hengyu just left…” A cold glint flashed in Su Chen’s eyes. Without a sound, blue scales appeared on his hands, gradually spreading over his entire body.

At the same time, he opened his Smart Bracelet and sent a message to Brother Sun.

“Hmm, they stopped?” Su Chen held his breath and concentrated. In his mental perception, the two had stopped in the corridor outside his room.

He looked at the clean wall of the gravity room; the other party was outside the wall.

“They even know the location of the gravity room, good preparation.” Su Chen stood in the corner, a Green Rope silently appearing in his hand.

………

“Such poor security?”

Somewhere outside the Supervision Sub-bureau, Zhou Xian hid in the shadows. His subordinates had been inside for a while, but there was still no movement from the entire Supervision Sub-bureau.

He couldn’t help but frown: “Could it be that I overestimated Zhang Hongbo? At a time like this, he’s still thinking about getting rid of Su Chen first?”

“If that’s the case, things will be easy. This guy just became a Gale Hunter not long ago. I don’t even need to make a move; two against one shouldn’t be a problem.”

“However…” Zhou Xian’s expression flickered, “Su Chen managed to get away unscathed from the accusation. Was it not him who attacked me that night?”

This guy had too many secrets; if he could be caught, many things could be explained.

……

“It’s probably here.”

In the corridor, two Heretic God Cultists moved slowly, estimating the location of the wall. Their bodies were covered by Shadow-Hiding Clothes.

“Once we make our move, it will be hard to conceal ourselves. We must aim for a single decisive strike,” one of them whispered.

“Mhm,” the other echoed. “I’ll break the wall; you go for the kill.”

“According to the intel, he should be in the middle of training, physically fatigued. A sudden attack will definitely catch him off guard.”

As the two discussed, the Heretic God Cultist responsible for breaking the wall took a deep breath. His muscles bulged, turning a bizarre blood-red. The swollen muscle fibers under his skin formed dark green veins.

His fist, several times larger than normal, was raised high like a battering ram, brought to his waist, and then shot out like a cannonball. The moment it hit the wall, it exploded with a roar.

Boom!

The concrete surface cracked, revealing the twisted steel framework within. The other person immediately rushed in, moving extremely fast.

But after breaking into the gravity room, his fierce eyes were replaced by astonishment. In the thin smoke and dust, the surroundings were empty; there was no one there.

“Where is he…”

Before the question could fully form, a chill ran down his spine. A sharp, biting wind came from behind his head, accompanied by the sound of something whistling through the air.

He only caught a glimpse of a whip-like shadow, and a violent hurricane stirred up the surrounding dust.

Thunder roared!

Along with the thunder, his head exploded!

………

“Elder Xia… Elder Xia, are you really not going in to take a look?”

In a building near the Supervision Sub-bureau, several precision instruments were placed here. The large central screen showed an infrared view. Xia Hanshi looked at it; one of the figures emitted a red glow that almost broke through the screen.

The security guard, however, was like a quail, sweating profusely, cautiously asking.

He was responsible for Su Chen’s safety, and also the protector of the fishing plan, the Deputy Director of the Exploration Team – Lu Sheng.

Minutes ago, their equipment had captured two abnormal signals infiltrating the branch bureau. According to their deductions, they should have obscured their bodies with Shadow-Hiding Clothes.

Just as he was about to provide support, he was stopped by the sudden arrival of Xia Hanshi.

“Is the security so poor?” Xia Hanshi scanned the screen. “This equipment captures thermal signals, but by obscuring one’s own heat source, one can evade it. Is this all Southwind has?”

Lu Sheng cautiously explained, “It looks that way, but after modifications by the Research Department, it can also capture faint mental energy signals. This is classified information. With both combined, it’s very difficult for anyone to sneak in undetected.”

“Can he also obscure his own mental energy?” Xia Hanshi mumbled softly. “Then did you notice Su Chen disappear?”

“The gravity room materials are special, and the equipment can’t penetrate them…” he explained. “Su Chen spends almost the entire day in there.”

“…The heat source is gone, only one left!” The subordinate responsible for monitoring exclaimed in surprise. Lu Sheng’s expression changed slightly.

“So fast… he just became a Tier 2 Professional not long ago,” Xia Hanshi said faintly.

………

“Liu Cheng… time for a shift change. You should go back and sleep.”

In the lobby of the branch office, a Supervisory Guard who had come to relieve her, holding a cup of coffee, yawned and said to the short-haired woman who was already sleepy.

“Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work.” Liu Cheng, who was already exhausted, regained some energy.

Before her butt even left the seat, a rumbling sound came from above!

It was like a clap of thunder, immediately startling the other Supervisory Guards in the lobby.

“Wh-what happened!?”

“It seems to be from upstairs!”

“…”

The crowd panicked for a moment, but quickly recovered. Some quickly found cover, while others had already turned on their communication terminals.

Boom!

Another muffled sound, followed by a crash, and in the stunned gazes of the crowd, cracks in the ceiling spread like a spiderweb. The dull thud of concrete slabs falling mixed with the creaking agony of twisted rebar.

Buried wires sparked and crackled with electricity.

A figure fell down, and dust rose everywhere.

Everyone was startled. Their throats moved up and down. Liu Cheng cautiously looked up. Through the broken ceiling, she could see a figure standing on its edge, its upper body covered in blue scales.

The scales refracted cold light patterns, and blue electrical arcs seeped from the gaps between each scale, flowing like a living creature along the muscle lines.

He held a long whip wrapped in blue lightning arcs, looking down at the people below, his eyes also flashing with blue lightning arcs.

“Su… Section Chief Su?” Liu Cheng hesitated, then exclaimed.

“Sorry to disturb you all,” Su Chen reined in his murderous aura, a gentle smile appearing on his face. “Someone suddenly attacked me, and I couldn’t control my strength for a moment.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine…” Liu Cheng quickly said. This descendant of a powerful family, rarely seen, would occasionally be encountered in the cafeteria, always cordial.

She had never expected to see that side of him just now.

“You all should follow protocol,” Su Chen nodded, then turned and left. “Someone should be coming to take over soon.”

After Su Chen disappeared, everyone came back to their senses and gathered around the corpse on the ground. The face of the corpse was covered, lying on the ground, with a huge wound that had split the spine on its back. The edges of the wound were charred black, with no blood flowing out.

“My goodness, he’s so fierce…” Someone next to him swallowed hard.

“Damn it, something big is going to happen. This is the Director’s student; who dares to assassinate him?”
