My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 149
byChapter 149: A Corpse Delivered to the Door, Fierce Fighter Teng Liang
“Hmm.” Su Chen nodded, “Wei Yinsuo seems to be dead, and Meng Qi’s body was snatched.”
Teng Liang’s expression was strange, and for a moment, he couldn’t help but be surprised, “Wei Yinsuo is dead?”
“Chief Judge Lei said it, I’m not sure about the details.” Su Chen looked at his senior brother, “The Chief told me to find Meng Qi.”
“That’s probably difficult.” Teng Liang finally realized why he was here, frowning, “It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
“Let’s look anyway.” Su Chen didn’t care, saying, “I’m planning to look up information about the Faceless Ghost. Senior brother, want to come along?”
“Let’s go.” Teng Liang was concise.
…
At the same time, in the back kitchen of the Tribunal’s cafeteria, three figures gathered, one of whom was Meng Qi, who had come back to life.
But at this moment, his face was pale, “The other explosion happened before ours, and it was a big one. The Tribunal sealed off the area in advance.”
“What exactly happened!”
He was annoyed, he had finally convinced several other Heretic God followers in Ying Feng to pull off a big scheme, drawing away most of the Tribunal’s forces and creating an excellent situation.
As a result, a mysterious explosion trapped him here again.
The other two couldn’t answer his question. Meng Qi took a deep breath, “You two disguise yourselves first, don’t stay together. Stall for as long as you can.”
The two Faceless Ghost followers who were responsible for assisting him nodded and left.
“It’s fine, as long as I get this body, there’s still a chance. These people won’t find me that easily.” Meng Qi’s eyes flickered, his body gradually changing shape, becoming another person, and he walked out brazenly.
“Let’s see what’s going on first.”
This disguise couldn’t fool the Tribunal’s detection, but it was easy to fool human eyes.
He blended in with the Judges and quickly gathered some information.
“The Medical Department was attacked, and Wei Yinsuo might be dead?” Meng Qi paused for a moment after hearing this news, but then he realized something.
“Someone took the opportunity to snatch the body and played a trick!” His eyes flashed fiercely, “I knew it, the other Heretic God followers wouldn’t just do things honestly, damn it!”
…
All the Tribunal’s data related to Heretic Gods was locked in a separate server, located deep within the Tribunal, isolated from external networks. To access it, approval from at least one Judge was required.
The surface of the silver-white building in front of him had no visible seams, as if it had been cast in one piece. Its surface was embedded with a row of dark blue flowing light patterns, and the roof was a smooth dome structure, with ripples dimly visible from the energy flow.
It wasn’t very tall, only about three meters, but several Senior Judges were guarding it. Since Chong Jingtian had already given the order, Su Chen could naturally enter, but Teng Liang was stopped outside.
“Sorry, only you can enter.” The guard’s face was expressionless, he was a Tier 4 Professional.
“Junior brother, be careful.” Teng Liang didn’t care, just reminded Su Chen not to look too long, only to look at what he needed to see.
Su Chen walked in. The interior was simple: behind an alloy table, a floating mechanical head spoke in an emotionless voice:
“Core Seed Su Chen has temporarily obtained the authority to view information related to the Faceless Ghost.”
Su Chen asked it to list all information about the Faceless Ghost, and he examined each one carefully. He had been curious about these Heretic Gods for too long.
The information held by the Tribunal was undoubtedly the most comprehensive.
He read through it bit by bit, very carefully.
“…The first recorded appearance of a Faceless Ghost follower was seven hundred years ago. The followers are characterized by being faceless, enjoying disguising themselves as others, blending into their lives, and harvesting desperate souls in the guise of loved ones…”
“…It wasn’t until five hundred years ago that the Faceless Ghost truly paid attention, and the first priest was born…”
Upon seeing this, Su Chen was startled. What did that mean?
Before, when followers appeared, it had nothing to do with the Faceless Ghost?
He asked the mechanical head in front of him, and it brought up a file detailing the common characteristics of all Heretic Gods.
“All Heretic God follower professions can complete relevant requirements unconsciously, thereby seeing the Heretic God and becoming a follower…”
“And only when the number of Heretic God followers reaches a certain level will it attract the attention of the Heretic God, leading to the birth of the first priest who gains the ability to truly communicate with the Heretic God.”
It was actually like this… Su Chen couldn’t help but be surprised. Normal professions only have a sense of completion after meeting the requirements.
But Heretic God follower professions are different. Even if one doesn’t know the requirements, completing them unconsciously will lead to entanglement.
For example, the requirement for the Black Tuluo profession only requires a heart of reverence.
That is to say, as long as one knows the name Black Tuluo, one might become his follower.
Will the name Black Tuluo be known for no reason?
Su Chen thinks it’s possible, because this planet is full of ruins.
“These Heretic Gods are even more powerful than I imagined.” Su Chen realized.
Based on scattered records, it can be inferred that initially, the followers on Chihlei Star did not receive the attention of the Heretic Gods. Only after their numbers increased did the Heretic Gods take notice.
So, before they took notice, were these Heretic Gods paying attention to other places?
Su Chen’s thoughts ran wild for a moment, but he quickly reined them in and put the Faceless Ghost information aside. He couldn’t help but ask, “What about the professional information of the Faceless Ghost followers?”
“Warning: After viewing the relevant professional information of the Faceless Ghost followers, your data will be marked with a hidden ‘potential contamination’ tag, and you will be subject to irregular inspections by the Tribunal for follower screening.”
Such strict defense… Su Chen muttered. He wasn’t afraid anyway, so he continued to check.
A line of small characters appeared on the virtual screen in front of him, and the panel immediately reacted–
[Detected special profession — Faceless Ghost Follower. Can be employed after completing relevant professional requirements.]
[Faceless Ghost Follower: Take on a disguised identity and appearance to replace the original person’s life for three days.]
It’s really simple… Su Chen couldn’t help but sigh. If someone inadvertently completed it with the intention of assassination or hiding themselves.
Then that night, they might dream of the Faceless Ghost, and after being fooled by its “omnipotent” divine power, they would be employed.
The general characteristic of Heretic Gods specifically emphasizes that all Heretic Gods will brand themselves as omnipotent. In a sense, they can indeed do things like resurrecting loved ones, extending life, and so on.
But the resurrected loved ones might stab you in the chest.
Extending your life might turn you into a rotten piece of flesh without consciousness.
The records he looked at explicitly stated in red fonts every now and then to never trust any promise made by a Heretic God.
“Even with such warnings, how could Wei Yinsuo still believe it?” he couldn’t help but wonder.
“Perhaps he had no choice. The Heretic God’s power within him could be fatal at any time. If he didn’t want to die, he could only believe those illusory promises.”
Just as he was thinking, the panel popped up again–
[The Faceless Ghost, intimidated by the might of the Red Flame Thunder God, dared not move. The priest stepped forward and absorbed it.]
[The priest gains a new disguise option — Faceless Ghost Priest]
The simple description highlighted the pathetic state of the Faceless Ghost follower. By the time it was finished, it had been completely devoured.
“Being able to directly disguise as a priest is quite unexpected, I thought it would only be a follower.” Su Chen was quite surprised, but this was even better. “If the one controlling Meng Qi is something similar to what was in Wei Yinsuo’s body, there should be a resonance, right?”
That was his idea. From the Tribunal, he would obtain the method for becoming a Faceless Ghost follower, and then directly lock onto it.
But this was definitely not the place to try it. Su Chen turned and left.
Teng Liang was still waiting outside. Seeing him come out, he carefully examined his expression, then whispered, “Heretic Gods take pleasure in deception. Never be curious about them, and don’t think they’ll fulfill any of your requests.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother.” Su Chen understood what Teng Liang was concerned about.
Seeing that Su Chen was fine, Teng Liang then asked, “Do you have any ideas about finding Meng Qi?”
“Scour the entire Tribunal, and you’ll probably find him. Or just point anywhere on the map, and you might find him.” Su Chen shrugged.
Teng Liang ignored the latter half of Su Chen’s sentence and nodded, “Sound.”
He also urged, “Don’t take risks yourself. That Meng Qi is not simple. Although he’s a Tier 3, he has other methods. Even ordinary Tier 4s might not be his match.”
“I know.” Su Chen nodded. He naturally wouldn’t take risks with such an openly declared enemy.
He would go back, switch his state, sense the location, then casually make up an excuse and drag Teng Liang along. That would be it.
By now, night had completely fallen, but the entire Tribunal was brightly lit, and the roads were filled with patrol teams carrying live ammunition.
Su Chen claimed that he had expended too much energy from his afternoon workout and needed to go back to replenish some nutrients.
Teng Liang naturally wouldn’t stop him, even telling him to rest well and that he would handle the deployment of personnel, truly not wanting him to take risks.
Su Chen first went to the Tribunal and conducted a follower screening, which was then filed.
The process was simple, with specialized mental-type professionals using a certain instrument to detect whether nearly a hundred people had been corrupted by a Heretic God in one go.
The detection was completed in less than a minute.
Returning to his residence, Su Chen entered the gravity training room, closed the door, and gradually concealed himself within the spatial interlayer, simultaneously shifting into his new Faceless Ghost Priest state.
His features seemed to dissolve in water, gradually disappearing into thin air, but Su Chen himself felt nothing.
At the same time, several sensations, strong and weak, emerged in all directions.
“It really has been cleaned up quite a bit. There are far fewer things sensed than when I first became a Black Tuluo priest.” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, and just as he was about to carefully discern, his expression gradually changed.
Because one sensation was extremely clear and strong, and most importantly, it was very close to him.
“Right outside?” His expression became extremely exciting, and he canceled his disguise.
“He was just waiting for me to come back before knocking on the door. Is he targeting me because I’m Teng Liang’s junior brother, seeking revenge for Teng Liang’s actions?”
Or for other reasons. Su Chen immediately opened his smart bracelet and sent a message to Teng Liang.
…
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Outside the door, Meng Qi, disguised as a Judge, put down his knocking hand, his expression calm.
Everyone here probably thought he was hiding in fear, never imagining that he would still dare to act openly.
Being trapped in the Tribunal put him in an extremely difficult situation. This body couldn’t perfectly disguise itself as others, and it would almost certainly be discovered in the end.
“Even if this body is to be wasted, it must be wasted for something valuable.” The disguised Judge’s expression was calm as he came to find Su Chen, not just for revenge for Teng Liang exposing his identity last time.
He was also curious why this guy was targeted by the Black Tuluo, and why the Black Tuluo had even issued an order to his followers on this planet to do whatever it takes.
“Perhaps, I can also use this guy to preserve my body. His status is not low.”
Just as he was thinking, his expression suddenly froze. He looked at the door in front of him with suspicion. Just a moment ago, he had actually sensed a familiar aura from inside the villa.
Even if it was only for an instant, he was certain that he was not mistaken.
“How can there be a follower’s aura in Su Chen’s residence? Who is hiding here?”
For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel bewildered.
The sudden change left him indecisive. He originally wanted to turn around and leave, to figure out the situation first.
But then, a click sound came from the front, and the door opened.
Su Chen feigned confusion and looked at the Judge in front of him, “Who are you?”
Meng Qi could only proceed as planned and said, “Sir Su Chen, I am Luo Bin. I’ve found some clues regarding the research department.”
“Is that so…” Su Chen pondered, “Come inside.”
Meng Qi hesitated slightly, but still followed Su Chen inside. Whatever the situation was just now, preserving his body was the most important thing.
“Tell me.” Su Chen casually walked towards the refrigerator, seemingly about to get some water.
“…It’s like this, we found several researchers who shouldn’t have been on duty today…” he said, pacing forward, his eyes fixed on Su Chen’s back, a cold light flickering in his gaze.
“Wait…” Su Chen suddenly turned around. Meng Qi’s footsteps faltered, but he saw the other party tilting his head, asking, “Did you hear that?”
“What?” Meng Qi was confused. The distance between the two was already close enough.
But indeed, a faint roar could be heard.
The next moment,
Boom!
The door exploded, the heavy solid wood door panel shattering into fragments amidst an ear-splitting cracking sound. The surrounding walls were also torn open, and the fragments, carried by the violent airflow, sprayed out like buckshot in all directions.
A violent air pressure surged forward, like a tangible hammer, slamming the sofa and coffee table in the living room against the wall.
In the storm, a thick, bronze-colored metal arm reached out, compressing the air around it to form a translucent shockwave. As it passed, it left a momentary vacuum channel, with air currents swirling madly on both sides, forming a milky white vortex.
Su Chen couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, Meng Qi’s pupils constricted, seeing only a familiar large hand pressing down on his face.
Boom!
His entire body was forcefully pressed into the floor, then further into the ground, completely unable to resist.
“Teng… Liang!”
Meng Qi roared in his heart, it was this brute again!
In the smoke and dust, the looming giant silhouette exuded an oppressive presence. His body was half-bent, his shoulder shattering most of the second-floor’s floor. His immense eyes were filled with cold indifference, and his thick arm exerted a slight force.
Bang!
With a muffled sound like a watermelon bursting, Meng Qi’s head exploded, crimson matter splattering everywhere. Following that was his body, emitting the sound of crushing bones, forced into a pulp.
