My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Confiscation

The room door opened, and You Shan stepped out. Chong Jingtian, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately came over and asked, “What’s the situation?”

“It’s no different from what he said.” You Shan rubbed her temples. “This little fellow is innocent.”

Jiang Shumo beside her was not surprised. “That should be the case. He’s just a discoverer.”

Without any gains, Chong Jingtian was a little disappointed, but then he asked, “What about those core seeds?”

“They’re all fine.” You Shan said, “When they took office, I more or less sensed their mental bodies. I’ve had the most contact with Su Chen.”

This was meant for Jiang Shumo, who nodded.

“What’s happening?” You Shan had already noticed the frequent movement of life force fields outside.

Chong Jingtian said in a deep voice, “People are investigating, and Shumo is preparing to use Wei Yu Fan and the others as bait.”

“He…” You Shan’s face changed slightly, and she looked at Jiang Shumo. “You’re too adventurous!”

The term “they” certainly included her student, Ming Lin.

“This is the simplest and most direct method, but it depends on luck.” Jiang Shumo said calmly. Just then, his smart bracelet vibrated slightly. He opened it, and his eyes narrowed. His voice showed no emotion.

“Su Chen was the first to lead people out. Wei Yu Fan… don’t let anyone disturb him.”

“Irresponsible!” Chong Jingtian snorted coldly. “Give a death order, let him go out!”

…

In the next few days, the Tribunal made quite a stir, investigating each one along the traces of Chu Xuan’s actions.

Meng Qi, as a core seed, had very little public interaction with Chu Xuan after the battle, and almost no one suspected him. He continued to lead people in Ying Feng to investigate traces of the Heretic God Cult.

Nothing stayed secret forever.

A week later, the news of Chu Xuan’s death finally spread, causing a huge uproar.

For a time, all departments were in turmoil. A core seed had died inside Ying Feng, inside the Tribunal itself. This was something that had almost never happened before.

And the Tribunal’s actions became more and more blatant. Several dispatched teams traveled to various places in Ying Feng.

“Here…” Su Chen, hidden in the shadows of a street corner, looked at the six-story building not far away.

It was almost nightfall. Lights were on outside, and a huge humanoid virtual projection was dancing enthusiastically. The place was resplendent. “Are you sure there’s a problem?”

Yang Yan beside him hesitated. “There are indeed a few clues pointing here, but they are not very accurate. I’m not sure.”

Su Chen glanced at him, a little speechless. He could only say in a deep voice, “Better to kill the wrong than let go of the right. Call in people and cordon off the area.”

Yang Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but say, “Should we investigate again? This place is not simple…”

“What’s simple or not simple, call in people!” Su Chen’s voice was cold. Others’ suspicions were just suspicions, but his suspicions were corroborated.

This area was exactly where he felt the strongest reaction. If there was something controlling the divine blood, it was most likely here.

The other areas had been mostly investigated, and basically only this largest building remained. He had intended to use a more reasonable excuse to call in people, but who knew that Yang Yan would chicken out at the last minute.

Seeing his persistence, Wu Yang quickly issued an order, and the Judges scattered in various places quickly rushed over.

A few hours later, the place was completely surrounded.

“Go, quick, go…” A hovercar had just landed at the entrance, when it saw the Judges, like door gods. The people in the back seat changed their expressions and urged them to leave, but they were forcefully pressed down.

“Third-rank Judge, Zhang Yunqing, please get out of the car.” Zhang Yunqing’s pretty face was cold, and she showed her identification.

“Yun Hai Jian, good name…” Su Chen stood at the entrance, looking up at the signboard. The security guards on both sides were trembling.

Yang Yan led the way, and the Judges followed in, one after another. After a series of commotion, the entire place was almost under control.

Everyone had been gathered in the hall, many of them disheveled and their eyes darting around.

Someone else looked annoyed and sternly rebuked, “You, do you know who I am!?”

“Patrol Department…Fourth-rank City Patrol Guard—Zhou Han.” Yang Yan, beside him, said with a cold expression, pressing him down. “Do you know who we are?”

“You…what exactly do you Tribunal people want to do?” Zhou Han saw that the other party immediately revealed his identity, and didn’t care. He knew this wasn’t a small operation, and his words already carried a hint of feigned toughness.

However, Yang Yan suddenly stood up straight and looked towards the entrance. The other judges also followed suit.

Under everyone’s gaze, a young man walked in, surrounded by the judges behind him.

“It’s him… Su Chen.” Zhou Han recognized the other party and couldn’t help but shrink his head. This was Xia Hanshi’s student, a core seed of the Tribunal, with a respected status.

“Your Excellency Su Chen, so it’s you…”

Among the detained crowd, someone suddenly shouted, with a smiling face. He tried to stand up, but Yang Yan pressed him down again.

“This is manager Zhou Jun…” Zhou Yunqing whispered to Su Chen.

“One of us, we are one of us.” Zhou Jun shouted.

Su Chen waved him over, and Zhou Jun trotted over, fawning, “Your Excellency Su Chen, I’m from the Zhou family. I have a good relationship with Wei Yu Fan, Zhong Ming, Ming Lin, and the others. My third uncle even had dinner with you a few days ago. We’re all on the same side.”

“Your third uncle? Zhou Kai?” Su Chen suddenly smiled. “Does he know you?”

“Uh…” Zhou Jun smiled awkwardly. “Relatives, of course they know each other.”

He changed the subject and emphasized, “We have always strictly abided by Ying Feng’s laws…”

Before he could finish, Yang Yan handed him a pack of black pellets. “Ghost Lotus Pellets, a third-level prohibited item…”

“Uh… these were brought by a customer privately, it has nothing to do with us.” Zhou Jun hastily explained, then lowered his voice, “Besides, isn’t it the responsibility of the Supervision Department to confiscate prohibited items?”

“It’s everyone’s responsibility in Ying Feng!” Yang Yan sternly rebuked. If they couldn’t find anything, they’d have to rely on these contraband items to deal with the relationships behind this place.

“Yes, yes…” Zhou Jun nodded repeatedly, standing aside, not daring to move.

Only a small portion of the Judges remained to guard the detained personnel. More of them had already delved into various areas, meticulously investigating.

These Judges acted quickly, and it wasn’t long before they had some general results.

“Found nothing?” Yang Yan asked repeatedly, “No secret rooms or anything?”

“We can only investigate to this extent roughly, but we haven’t found any further clues.” Another Judge said with a wry smile, “Mental detection was also used, but no secret rooms or such were found.”

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned to Su Chen, just to see him looking around, then slowly walking upstairs. “I’ll go check it out, you all wait here.”

“Wait…”

Wu Yang frowned and immediately followed.

But… as soon as he turned the corner of the stairs, his face was shocked. Where… where were the people? The corridor in front of him was empty, and Su Chen was nowhere to be seen.

“Old Wu, didn’t I tell you to wait downstairs?” A voice suddenly came from behind, and Wu Yang’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly turned his head, and Su Chen was actually standing behind him, looking at him with confusion.

“I’m worried about you…” Wu Yang responded subconsciously. “It’s fine, you need to keep an eye on those people downstairs. I did it on purpose.” Su Chen vaguely tricked him.

Wu Yang’s throat rolled, and he walked downstairs in a daze.

“If I don’t scare him, he won’t listen to me.” Su Chen shook his head secretly. Just now, his [Space Concealment] had scared Wu Yang quite a bit.

“It’s quite suitable for sneak attacks, but I can only wait for others to arrive, I can’t launch an offensive ourselves…” Su Chen muttered, walking deeper.

He found an empty room, carefully checked it, and then his body gradually disappeared, hiding in the spatial interstice, disguised as a “Heituo Cultist,” which was safer.

“Hmm…” His dark pupils looked incredibly eerie. Su Chen carefully sensed the faint attraction. “It’s definitely here, very, very close, but where exactly is it…”

He changed several locations before he finally had a slight guess.

“…The Tribunal has no law enforcement power in the city…”

“…Special approval from the Elder Council…”

“…What do you want to do…”

Just then, a noisy clamor came from downstairs. Su Chen raised his eyebrows and quickly went downstairs.

On the first floor, two groups of people were confronting each other. The newcomers were Supervisory Guards, and there were quite a few of them.

The leader was arguing face to face with Wu Yang, his face red with anger.

“This place really involves a lot…” Su Chen walked downstairs, immediately attracting the attention of both sides.

“It’s you…” The leader of the Supervisory Guards’ face changed slightly. He clearly knew who Su Chen was.

“Zhu Peng, one of the deputy directors of the Supervision Department, a Tier 3 professional…” Yang Yan quickly stepped forward and introduced him in a low voice.

“Your Excellency Su Chen, even with the special approval of the Elder Council, your Tribunal cannot act recklessly in Ying Feng. It should be our responsibility to search for contraband.” Zhu Peng’s tone softened a little, but he still had to contend:

“So, if there are no other discoveries, please withdraw your team.”

Zhou Jun, on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Yan also whispered, “If things escalate, it will be difficult to clean up.”

Su Chen glanced at Zhu Peng, then casually swiped his smart bracelet, found a contact, and after connecting, he said indifferently, “The people from the Supervision Department are blocking me.”

The response was very quiet, almost inaudible. Su Chen then took off his smart bracelet and threw it to Zhu Peng.

Zhu Peng hesitated and took it, then walked to the side after a brief pause and said in a low voice, “I am Zhu Peng.”

“I’m Cheng Lang, withdraw the team.”

A cold voice came from the smart bracelet. Zhu Peng’s face changed. Cheng Lang? Deputy Director?

“But this place…” He subconsciously wanted to say something, but found that the other party had already ended the communication.

The voice was indeed very much like Cheng Lang’s. Zhu Peng’s face changed, and he looked at Su Chen again.

He walked back again, handed Su Chen the smart bracelet, and with a grim expression, turned around and said, “Withdraw, retreat!”

The many Supervisory Guards were all stunned, Zhou Jun’s face turned pale, and Yang Yan looked surprised.

“Can’t you hear what I’m saying? Let’s go!” Zhu Peng yelled angrily, and the many Supervisory Guards could only reluctantly follow.

Watching the Supervisory Guards leave, Yang Yan asked hesitantly, “Then, should we leave too?”

“Leave?” Su Chen shook his head. “Clear out the hall, and escort them outside.”

Yang Yan was confused, but still carried out his order. Soon, the people were escorted outside, and the hall was cleared.

“Old Wu, sorry to trouble you. Smash through the central area for me.” Su Chen looked at Wu Yang.

“Underground?” Wu Yang was surprised, but then showed a thoughtful expression, and immediately flew forward.

Boom!

Fiery red flames burst from Wu Yang’s body, his skin cracking inch by inch, the cracks rapidly spreading across his entire body.

Within it flowed golden-red liquid flames, emanating a lava-like heat. The surging heat distorted the surrounding air, and gushing red flames gathered above his head, forming a swirling fiery cloud.

The temperature in the hall began to soar, and Zhou Jun, beside him, repeatedly pleaded, “Please, have mercy, have mercy…”

Zhou Jun was pulled away, and Su Chen looked up, sighing, “At this level, even a low-level professional is quite impressive…”

Everyone retreated a few steps, the fire cloud seething, gradually retracting, forming a magma giant fist that, with the power to incinerate all things, slammed into the floor of the hall.

Bang!

Crushed stones and dust instantly vaporized in the high temperature, steaming white mist and crimson fire light intertwined.

Rumble!

The roar continued to emanate from the smoke and dust. A Judge nearby extended his hand, and with the howling wind, the smoke and dust dissipated.

The ground had collapsed under the violent impact, and the surface flagstones had melted into dark red liquid due to the high temperature.

However, under Wu Yang’s full-force attack, only a few cracks appeared, which instead proved that something was wrong.

“So hard, is there something underneath?” Yang Yan’s eyes gleamed as he quickly stepped forward and looked down from the edge of the crack. It was dark and deep, and all the judges were on high alert.

“How…how could this be…” Zhou Jun was terrified.

Yang Yan casually conjured a brilliant white light and threw it down through the crack. The Judges gathered around held their breath, and even Wu Yang couldn’t help but look down.

But just then, a cold gleam flashed, striking from behind Su Chen.

“Be careful!” Wu Yang looked up abruptly, then his eyelids twitched.

Three figures stealthily attacked from among the detained crowd outside the hall, simultaneously targeting Su Chen.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to the central cave, which was an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack!

But then, lightning flashed, and with arcs of crimson electricity, the figure attacking from directly behind was sent flying even faster, spitting blood.

The person who attacked from the side, whose dagger stabbed at Su Chen’s back, made a clanking sound. Su Chen backhanded him, hitting his spine, and the sound of cracking bones was louder than his wails as he was slammed to the ground!

And the last person was even more sinister. He fell straight down at Su Chen’s feet, as if he had fallen asleep, and did not move an inch.

So fierce? Wu Yang’s eyelids twitched.

Yang Yan and the others just realized the commotion behind them and quickly rushed towards the figure that was sent flying. They were quickly brought back, their faces looking as if they had seen a ghost.

“They’re all Tier 3 professionals, one had all his bones shattered, one was smashed to death on the spot, and one was left with a breath.” Yang Yan said, still finding it unbelievable after checking.

These three guys were beaten like this by Su Chen in one encounter. Was this the rumored power of a top-tier dual professional?

Too weak… Su Chen shook his head. None of these three were weaker than the Zhou Xian of back then, and some were even stronger than Zhou Xian, but they were still no match for his single blow.

But his gaze fell back to the crack in the ground, and his expression became serious.
