My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 147

【Domestication successful, obtained high-grade Black Tuo Power, which can be applied to professions up to Tier 8.】

The panel prompted, surprising Su Chen, as it was high-grade.

“What are you, extracting my master’s power?”

The High Priest within his body seemed to grow increasingly deranged, his voice even tinged with fright.

The other party used divine blood as a guide, drawing out divine power from the wound. Without divine power as a carrier, he could hardly exist as a mere consciousness and was gradually dissipating.

Wei Yinsuo’s eyes were bloodshot, furious to the extreme, “Resist!”

“Too late!” Su Chen coldly shouted, his blade having only penetrated a third of the way by then. Wei Yinsuo was truly hard to kill.

However, because the concentrated Black Tuo divine power was being extracted, the pure violent power wrapped around the outside was uncontrollably beginning to spill out.

Black smoke billowed from all of Wei Yinsuo’s wounds. He seemed to foresee something, and his eyes filled with terror, “No… no… no…”

As a Judge, he enjoyed the respect of thousands, and the good things in the world made him long for them, otherwise he would not have believed the vague promises of the Heretic God.

But now, everything would become a thing of the past.

He didn’t want to die!

Su Chen’s eyelids twitched. The scales on his skin quickly dissolved into his body, his mental power was instantly extracted, and the nutrients stored in the Abyssal Stomach surged throughout his body, rapidly transforming the Reverser.

【Holy Hand】强化【Adamant Thunder Armor】, scorching electric arcs exploded from the surface of his skin, and 【Azure Thunder God Travel】 burst forth. He suddenly shot out of the window.

This set of actions was smooth and flowing, almost completed in an instant.

And Wei Yinsuo also met his most desperate moment. In his unwilling and despairing eyes, his emaciated body swelled and then exploded with a wailing cry!

Boom!

The top floor of the Emergency Department exploded, and black, ring-shaped energy waves diffused outwards at an astonishing speed, spreading in all directions like a fierce beast breaking free from its cage.

The edges were absolutely black, seemingly capable of devouring even light. The space it passed through warped subtly, and irregular dark electric arcs danced on its surface, emitting a chilling hiss.

The speed of the spread was extremely fast, and Su Chen, who had already shot out a distance, was quickly caught up, feeling as if a giant hammer had slammed into his back.

Bang!

His lungs were in excruciating pain, his back muscles twisted and deformed severely, and metallic patterns flickered dimly.

He was sent flying, but this also gave him an extra burst of speed, so fast that he was invisible to the naked eye.

Boom!

The Emergency Department collapsed, the upper floors reduced to dust, and the staff on the lower floors screamed and ran out.

Soon, within two or three breaths, a powerful blue hurricane descended, sweeping across the land. The strong wind dispersed the smoke, revealing a figure: Lei Tieyan.

He landed in front of the Emergency Department with a grim face, watching the staff scrambling out in all directions.

The next moment, he reappeared in the core area of the explosion. The top floor of the Emergency Department had been leveled, with only the first and second floors remaining untouched.

“Wei Yinsuo…” Lei Tieyan surveyed the surroundings, finally spotting a charred, bowl-shaped bone lying face down on the ground.

His stern face twitched slightly, a wave of anger surging in his chest. His eagle-like eyes scanned the area.

Many of the remaining Judges, alerted by the commotion, had rushed over, their expressions filled with inexplicable horror.

“Hiss—”

In a space-time rift far away, Su Chen grimaced, his clothes completely annihilated, almost naked, with charred marks on his skin.

“This explosion was too fierce. Thankfully, I was already some distance away, otherwise I would have been severely injured even if I didn’t die…”

Su Chen cautiously drank various potions, watched the Judges rushing to the explosion area from all directions, and then took out clothes from his storage space to slowly put them on.

“So hard to kill…” He sighed again, “But, he didn’t really use the divine blood.”

Holding the divine blood, his “authority” was higher than that of the High Priest, and the Black Tuo Power the other party mobilized couldn’t harm him.

“That High Priest was directly stunned by the divine blood. He reacted slower than Wei Yinsuo, allowing me to seize the Black Tuo divine power, and he lost his reliance…”

Su Chen thought that he was afraid at the time that the High Priest could also mobilize divine blood, and had been on guard against it, but his mentality completely collapsed.

“Perhaps, it’s also because this kind of extremely fanatical believer finds it difficult to comprehend my disguised form, and can even hold divine blood and absorb Black Tuo divine power, their faith having halfway collapsed.”

He once again realized the perversity of his disguised form; not only could he unconditionally gain the trust of fellow believers, but he could also unexpectedly cause their faith to waver.

“Of course, I can’t let someone like Old Xia see me, otherwise he’d bash my head in.”

Su Chen thought, and the commotion in the distance grew louder. He was already quite far from the Emergency Department.

“I didn’t expect to absorb high-grade this time, which can affect professions up to Tier 8. I wonder if it can be split, otherwise it would be a bit of a waste.” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, looking at the panel with anticipation.

After waiting for a moment, to his astonished eyes, the text 【High-grade Black Tuo Power】 began to blur, gradually changing into 【Mid-grade Demonic God Power】x3.

Su Chen grinned, “It can be split into three portions. So, it’s a three-in-one upgrade, huh.”

This made him very comfortable. After confirming that no one was passing by, he reappeared in stealth mode.

He then took a long detour back to his residence, sneaking in through the back door.

Someone was already knocking on the door. Su Chen, feigning ignorance, opened it.

“Your Excellency Su Chen, Judge Lei urgently summons you…” The other person spoke with a solemn expression.

Summon me? Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Please come with me first,” he said, hurrying Su Chen to the Emergency Department.

A large group of Judges had already gathered here. The almost collapsed Emergency Department had been strictly cordoned off, and the search area was gradually expanding.

He made his way into the Emergency Department and found Lei Tieyan, whose face was ashen.

“Chief Judge…” Su Chen called out.

Lei Tieyan glanced at him, sensing his weakened aura, and said coldly, “Still training?”

“Hmm.” Su Chen nodded.

“Why didn’t you go to the execution of the Black Tuo Cultist today?”

“Uh…” Su Chen looked bewildered, “Why would I go?”

Lei Tieyan frowned, “The execution was attacked. Several core seeds went. Why didn’t you go?”

“I’m only a Tier 3 professional. I wouldn’t be much help if I went, and I might even be a burden, requiring manpower to protect me.” Su Chen shook his head.

“Don’t lose your courage.” Lei Tieyan said indifferently.

Su Chen felt speechless. He thought the old man suspected him. Turns out, he was upset that Su Chen was just lounging at home.

He didn’t pay it any mind and looked around, hesitatingly asking, “Chief Judge, what happened here? Where is Judge Wei?”

“What exactly happened, I don’t know.” Lei Tieyan shook his head, looking at the charred skeletal fragments in his hand. “As for Wei Yinsuo, he should be dead.”

“Dead!?” Su Chen exclaimed, “How is that possible? What happened, an accident or intentionally?”

“I don’t rule out the possibility of it being intentional. Until the Chief returns, you will stay with me.” Lei Tieyan said in a deep voice.

You called me here? Are you afraid something might happen to me? Su Chen had a strange feeling, and nodded solemnly.

The sky had already returned to normal; Chong Jingtian must have mostly finished resolving the situation.

“…Teacher, teacher…”

A wailing sound, from far to near, was a Judge, crawling and scrambling.

“Jiang Baorui!” Lei Tieyan’s eyes flashed, and with a single hand, he pulled the Judge up from below.

“Teacher, teacher…” Jiang Baorui seemed to have sensed something, prostrating on the ground, crying bitterly, holding a metal box in his hand. Su Chen watched silently from the side.

“Shut up!” Lei Tieyan scolded, his eyes fixed on him, “Where are the people protecting Wei Yinsuo?”

“Teacher…” Jiang Baorui continued to wail, causing Lei Tieyan’s forehead veins to throb. He slapped him, which quieted him down to a low sob, and he explained in a small voice:

“The teacher told me to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat. The Lava Beast Heart is quite complicated to prepare, and I’ve been waiting.”

“Where are the others? Where’s Xue Fei?” Lei Tieyan pressed him repeatedly.

“The teacher sent them out to provide support.” Jiang Baorui sobbed intermittently.

“Wei Yinsuo sent them?” Lei Tieyan’s eyes held scrutiny.

“Yes, Xue Fei didn’t really want to go, but the teacher scolded him a few times before he left.” Jiang Baorui’s voice was intermittent. “Before leaving, the teacher specifically told me to stay.”

“Teacher…” He wailed again.

Lei Tieyan was annoyed to hear it, and had him taken away. He mused, perplexed: “Wei Yinsuo actively sent people away. How could this be?”

If someone had secretly acted, it couldn’t have been so coincidental. No one could predict what Wei Yinsuo was thinking.

Moreover, it seemed more like Wei Yinsuo himself wanted to do something, not only sending Xue Fei away but also dispatching Jiang Baorui.

But the result was that he died.

Could it be that he sent people away to commit suicide?

Lei Tieyan frowned, completely baffled.

“Do you have any thoughts?”

He suddenly looked at Su Chen, who was silently standing beside him, with a hint of a test.

“Judge Wei has always been concerned about the Tribunal and the safety of Yingfeng,” Su Chen lamented.

Lei Tieyan’s expression became stiff, but he was a core disciple after all, so he gave a hint, “If I were to ask you to investigate, how would you go about it?”

“Investigate what?” Su Chen looked confused.

“Investigate why Wei Yinsuo died!” Lei Tieyan said, frustrated.

“Shouldn’t we first verify if what Jiang Baorui said is true?” Su Chen asked, puzzled. “And with no body, are you sure he’s dead?”

Lei Tieyan was stunned. This kid… led me in circles.

Just as he was about to say something more, his expression suddenly changed. He abruptly looked in another direction, as fire light flared and a roar echoed.

“Again? This is chaos!!”

Lei Tieyan was truly exasperated. He sprang up, a storm rising to the heavens, and the immense pressure swept even Su Chen away.

“That’s the direction of the Research Department!”

“What’s happening today? Incident after incident.”

The surrounding Judges looked solemn, gazing at the rising thick smoke.

“Is there someone else secretly causing trouble?”

Su Chen was surprised, his expression slightly changed. He looked up at the sky and gradually realized, was this a diversion?

The Tribunal was using the Black Tuo Priest to lure other cultists.

The other party went along with it, making the Tribunal think they had caught a big tiger.

But in reality, the target was within the Tribunal.

Did the Tribunal just fall for it?

Su Chen frowned slightly, “What’s in the Research Department?”

…

At the same time, at the execution ground of the Black Tuo Priest, the place was a mess, with cracks on the ground, and the air was filled with various lingering elemental powers, but there were almost no casualties.

“A Black Tuo Priest would actually attract a Crimson Priest and a Faceless Ghost Priest…”

Chong Jingtian descended from the sky, a puzzled expression on his face, holding a corpse in each hand.

“Are these Heretic God Cultists working together so closely?”

“Chief, the scene has been mostly handled. We were fully prepared. Seventeen people were injured, but no one died.” You Shan walked over, clearly invigorated:

“With this, almost all the Heretic God Cultists in Yingfeng City have been wiped out. Those people on the Elder Council will have nothing to say.”

The affairs of Chu Xuan and Meng Qi might not be felt by the lower and middle ranks, but the Tribunal had lost considerable face among Yingfeng’s high-ranking officials.

Chong Jingtian’s tightly knit brow did not relax. He had been too busy dealing with the Heretic God Cultists to think much, but now the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.

He looked around, seeing the Tribunal members coming and going, many of whom were department heads and deputy department heads.

Just then, someone rushed over to report, his face anxious, “Chief, news just came from headquarters. The Emergency Department was attacked, and the Research Department was attacked.”

You Shan’s expression suddenly changed, and Chong Jingtian, no longer caring about anything else, transformed into a streak of light and, with a rumbling sound, shot straight towards the Tribunal headquarters.

Soon, he returned to the Tribunal, landing in front of the Emergency Department, which had been reduced to ruins.

“Chief…” Su Chen, who had been waiting there, quickly walked up to him.

“What’s the situation?” Chong Jingtian asked in a deep voice.

“…There was a sudden explosion, and Judge Lei said that Judge Wei is very likely dead…” Su Chen whispered.

“Dead?” Chong Jingtian’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he demanded, “How could he die? Where’s Xue Fei!?”

These traces of explosion were far from what defined a battle, and Xue Fei was a Tier 5 professional.

Su Chen replied obediently, “He seems to have been sent by Judge Wei to support you.”

Chong Jingtian was stunned, the exact same question popping into his mind as Lei Tieyan’s.

What was Wei Yinsuo doing?

The people left to protect him were sent away. Did he really think he needed those people for support?

Chong Jingtian frowned, sensing vaguely that something was amiss but unable to pinpoint the key.

A whooshing sound came from his ears, and they both looked over. It was Lei Tieyan returning, his features tense, clearly without good news.

“What’s the situation at the Research Department?” Chong Jingtian immediately asked.

“Meng Qi’s body, it’s gone.” Lei Tieyan spat out.

“Meng Qi’s body?” Su Chen was surprised, and this time he wasn’t faking it.

He instantly understood that this operation was probably orchestrated by the Faceless Ghost cultists, pulling a diversion during the Black Tuo Priest incident to snatch the body.

The Tribunal hadn’t destroyed the body and was still studying it, likely trying to find something unusual.

For a mere corpse, the Heretic God paid a significant price. It wasn’t entirely accurate to call it a diversion; the situation over there just now looked genuinely terrifying, and not going might have had dire consequences.

“So, I’m just killing people by riding the coattails?” Su Chen muttered to himself, but couldn’t help but ask, “If the body’s been stolen, can it still come back to life?”

“Perhaps that wasn’t a body to begin with, but a vessel.” Chong Jingtian’s brow twitched, and the blood-red vertical mark subtly glowed.

“Chief, there’s still a chance. The explosion at the Emergency Department happened before the Research Department, and I immediately ordered the entire Tribunal to be sealed off, allowing entry but no exit.” Lei Tieyan said in a low voice:

“Meng Qi might still be within the Tribunal.”
