My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Is There Something Else Hidden?

Gu Bing couldn’t help but sigh at the unpredictable turns of fate.

If Zhang Hongbo were still the City Lord of Nanfeng, with some credit for seizing the Black Tuluo statue, it wouldn’t be a big deal for his son to go to the Tribunal.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hongbo’s legitimacy had been stripped away, and the credit for seizing the Black Tuluo statue had nothing to do with him.

If Su Chen hadn’t spoken up, Zhang Hengyu would have undoubtedly been detained for a year, and there might have been further complications next year.

Gu Bing couldn’t help but say, “So, counting this, Nanfeng will have three people going to the Tribunal this year.”

“Three?” Su Chen was slightly surprised.

“You should know about the other one. The Third Judge’s new female student, when she arrived, specifically instructed us to bring her back,” Gu Bing explained. “She has a specialized professional talent that is very compatible with the Third Judge’s professional sequence.”

“Oh, Old Bai,” Su Chen realized. So that was the situation, which wasn’t unexpected.

“Then I’ll modify your information as soon as possible,” Yuan Chenyang said, “to a normal resident.”

“That is to say, you people regard vagrants as a disgrace.” Xia Hanshi swept his gaze over, his tone cold.

“This…” Yuan Chenyang didn’t know what to say.

“Vagrants are certainly not a disgrace,” Su Chen said smoothly, his voice gentle but firm:

“Having vagrant status brings misfortune and sorrow, but the opinions of others don’t change by our will. If this identity causes more misfortune, I believe it’s unnecessary.”

A data modification could reduce some trouble, and Su Chen didn’t want to refuse the modification due to Xia Hanshi’s stubbornness.

Everyone held their breath.

Xia Hanshi remained silent for a long time before saying lightly, “You’re right.”

Yuan Chenyang let out a long sigh of relief, while Yang Yan and Gu Bing looked at Su Chen with admiration.

“Follow me.” Xia Hanshi walked towards the door.

Su Chen followed slowly. Yuan Chenyang looked a bit worried. After the two left the room and entered the stairwell, he whispered, “It should be fine, right?”

“No…” Zhang Hongbo shook his head, seeming to have recovered a bit. “If Old Xia wasn’t convinced, there’s no need for him to pretend in front of us. There must be something else.”

…

Arriving at the top floor, a cold wind hit their faces, and Xia Hanshi’s voice was calm, “The priest was indeed there, with a very small margin of error. When we appeared, he was completely unprepared.”

“That person with a sense of justice is very powerful.”

Su Chen remained silent, and Xia Hanshi just mentioned it lightly before moving on: “The Tribunal assessment is still more than two months away. Under normal circumstances, Nanfeng will send official personnel to escort you there after one month.”

“I don’t trust them. You go with Yang Yan and the others first.”

Su Chen frowned slightly, “Aren’t you coming back to Yingfeng with us?”

“I still have something to do. The Heretic God Cult has a big plan. The Space Crystal that Yunlan lost hasn’t been found yet, and Nanfeng’s Holy Word Stone should also be part of it,” Xia Hanshi furrowed his brows:

“The reason why the priest came to Nanfeng City was due to an accident; their original plan was definitely not like this.”

“Nanfeng City has already closed the net, and many clues cannot be investigated. I can only go to Yunlan to see if there are any clues.”

Space crystal… Su Chen fell silent. Fortunately, Old Xia’s goal was not to find the Space Crystal but to investigate the root cause behind it. Otherwise, he would only have to apologize.

“You are truly dedicated and responsible.” Su Chen genuinely sighed.

Where could one find such a responsible judge? All those harsh words outside must be out of jealousy.

“Dedicated and responsible…” Xia Hanshi smiled self-deprecatingly, then said, “If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back by the time the Tribunal assessment begins.”

“Understood, I will definitely not disgrace you, old man.” Su Chen said solemnly.

…

“Old Xia is really a good person.”

Su Chen muttered to himself on the way back, knowing he had secrets but not pressing for answers.

“Presumably, in his eyes, as long as you’re not a Heretic God Cultist, everything is fine. If you can kill Heretic God Cultists, then even better.”

If it were any other judge, they might have a strong curiosity about that “person with a sense of justice.”

“Nanfeng City should be peaceful now.”

Su Chen returned to his room. Just in case, he switched to the Heituo Cultist persona again, wanting to see if anything was lurking in the dark.

As soon as he switched, he felt a rather strong reaction that made his heart pound. His brow furrowed, and his expression turned ugly. “How is there still something?”

Su Chen was genuinely startled. He thought everything was peaceful, but he unexpectedly found another “surprise,” and it was extremely close.

But he quickly calmed down, carefully sensing, his head tilted to the upper left, and his expression gradually softened. “This is… that Black Tuluo statue?”

“Its strength has weakened a lot, not even comparable to the previous Guiding,” Su Chen sensed carefully.

Confirming it was the Black Tuluo statue, Su Chen relaxed. “No wonder Old Xia locked that thing up. Even if it has lost too much power, it shouldn’t be underestimated.”

“Hmm…” As he was thinking, another thought popped into his mind. He hesitated, “Old Xia… he should know that this thing inside isn’t clean yet.”

“Does he know? He should know, right?” Su Chen thought about it, not quite sure himself.

He went out and looked for Old Xia, but couldn’t find him, didn’t know where he went.

He could only knock on Gu Bing’s door. The judge had just showered, her hair was wet, her cheeks were flushed, and she was wearing gray pajamas.

“Is that you?” Gu Bing was surprised and stepped aside, inviting him in.

Su Chen walked in, rubbing his chest as he spoke: “Envoy Gu, I don’t know why, but I always feel a subtle unease in my heart, as if something is about to happen.”

A glimmer of something flickered in Gu Bing’s eyes as she looked at Su Chen strangely, not knowing what she was thinking. She smiled gently and said, “I am a disciple of the Fifth Judge. If you don’t mind, you can call me Senior Sister.”

“Senior Sister…” Su Chen called out, and Gu Bing’s smile grew wider, tinged with a hint of teasing: “Then, Junior Brother, you can tell me in detail where you feel uneasy, and Senior Sister will help you.”

Why did that sound so strange?

Su Chen muttered in his heart, but looking at Gu Bing’s meaningful gaze, he couldn’t help but react and cursed inwardly. If it were a Junior Sister, knocking on his door in the middle of the night and saying she was scared, he would probably think more into it.

But I’m upright, so I’m not afraid of whispers. Su Chen feigned ignorance and replied, “It’s like this, ever since I saw that Black Tuluo statue, my heart has been pounding.”

“And I still have to travel with it all the way back to Yingfeng. Will there be any problems?”

Seeing Su Chen’s serious expression, Gu Bing’s face showed some embarrassment, and her expression became serious. She explained, “Don’t worry. A heretic idol like that, even if it contains the power of a heretic god, is just an inanimate object.”

“Both we and Old Xia have already inspected it, and it’s just an empty shell now, so there won’t be any problems.”

“They really didn’t see it?” Su Chen was surprised internally, then, seemingly still a bit uneasy, he asked, “My teacher, it’s impossible for him to miss it, right?”

Gu Bing pondered, “Possibly…”

Su Chen was speechless.

Gu Bing chuckled, “The power of the Heretic God is unimaginable, no one can guarantee anything, but based on past experience, there won’t be any problems.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister, for clarifying.” Su Chen looked relieved, stood up, and left.

Gu Bing closed the door, shaking her head with a smile.

“Old Xia and Gu Bing have already checked it and said it’s fine… then it should be fine.” Su Chen pondered to himself, when suddenly his vision went dark. He looked up and saw Yang Yan.

His expression was a bit strange, and his gaze had just retracted from Gu Bing’s door.

“Envoy Yang…” Su Chen stepped aside, and the two simply greeted each other.

Back in his room, Su Chen was still pondering, “It’s probably normal. After all, it once housed the powerful force of Heituo. Now that there’s a little bit left, it’s harmless.”

He could only put the matter aside for now. Su Chen took out the Mist Demon Potion and Illusion Essence from his storage space, swallowed them all, and entered the gravity training room.

As soon as he made a slight move, the injured areas all over his body began to ache, but it wasn’t serious. Grimacing, Su Chen gradually entered a state of focus.

…

Early the next morning, people all over Nanfeng City were discussing the grand events of the previous night.

“Half the sky was golden flames, it was terrifying…”

“This isn’t the first time. There was one before, not as widespread though…”

“What exactly happened? The authorities haven’t explained anything.”

Meanwhile, the Patrol, Supervision, and Exploration departments had integrated and were carrying out mop-up operations based on the clues they had gathered.

Many Heretic God Cultists who had been lurking for a long time were arrested, and this major purge lasted for more than ten days.

…

[Wind Lightning Envoy: 20%]

[Mystic Listener: 15%]

[E-grade Gale Body Forging Technique—Proficient: 5%]

[E-grade Void Star Meditation Technique—Skilled: 30%]

Su Chen finished his training, washing off the sweat from his body, and couldn’t help but sigh that the development speed of Tier 2 was much slower than Tier 1.

This was still with abundant resources and dual Scarlet Gold talents.

The glass bottles on the table were already covered, filled with Illusion Essence and Mist Demon Potion, and even ten portions of Liuli Blood.

Old Yuan had managed to squeeze them out for him. As the City Lord, it was naturally easier in this regard.

After tidying up and changing his clothes, Su Chen went to the private dining room inside the Supervisory Guard’s cafeteria, which was reserved for high-ranking officials.

“Brother Su Chen…”

As soon as he entered, Little Pigeon joyfully rushed up to him.

“Haha, you seem to have grown taller…” Su Chen patted her head and found a seat.

“Old Bai, when did you advance to Tier 2?” Su Chen casually asked Bai Fengxi, who was beside him.

“Two days ago.” Bai Fengxi sighed. Su Chen’s advancement speed was ridiculously fast, making her own advancement feel completely anticlimactic.

“You really advanced quickly,” Su Chen couldn’t help but exclaim. “Is this the terror of a specialized professional talent?”

“It only works for specific professions,” Bai Fengxi shook her head.

“That’s enough.”

During this time, he gained a more detailed understanding of Old Bai. The so-called specialized professional talent is specifically adapted to a certain professional sequence, and its advancement speed may even be faster than conventional Scarlet Gold talents.

However, the drawback is that it is difficult to achieve success in other professions.

“Is the departure time set?”

The door opened, and dishes were served—all exquisite stir-fries, with excellent taste and nutrition.

“Mhm, three days later,” Bai Fengxi nodded, and Little Pigeon’s mood was noticeably low.

“We’ll come back often,” Su Chen said, placing some food in her bowl.

Although Little Pigeon’s talent wasn’t particularly outstanding, it wasn’t impossible for her to go to Yingfeng.

The “quota” she had previously sought was just to enter the Tribunal, not Yingfeng.

But she was too young now, and Bai Fengxi didn’t intend to take her away. Staying in Nanfeng City, with Yuan Chenyang looking out for her, would be better.

“You guys have to work hard.” Little Pigeon adjusted her emotions and said seriously, “I’ve already experienced the benefits of being a second-generation, and I hope to go to Yingfeng one day to do as I please.”

“Little rascal.” Su Chen laughed.
