My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Black Tuluo, Mysterious God Cult

“Teacher, Captain Hu Xiang can testify. Not only that, but he also found Zhou Xian’s insider in the patrol team, who is currently under strict surveillance,” Su Chen recounted.

Yuan Chenyang gave him a deep look. He had been looking for the thief’s insider, and here he was, delivered right to his doorstep?

Hu Xiang awoke as if from a dream and couldn’t help but sigh. Little Brother Su is truly considerate, not forgetting to share the credit with him even at a time like this.

He immediately said, “That’s right, Tang Chen has already been detained by me. He was the one who was rummaging through Zhou Zong’s body the night he died.”

“Oh,” Zhang Hongbo said, his meaning unclear. “Bring him in.”

“Slander, this is a malicious accusation!” Zhou Xian roared angrily.

Hu Xiang scurried over and brought Tang Chen, who was bound tightly and gagged. Tang Chen’s eyes were filled with terror when he saw the group of important figures.

“City, City Lord…”

As the metal gag was removed, Tang Chen’s legs gave out, and he wailed, “You must uphold justice for me. I don’t know why, Captain Hu Xiang…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Hongbo walked over and placed his hand on Tang Chen’s head.

Tang Chen’s eyes rolled back, and his face became vacant.

“Did you go through Zhou Zong’s body?” Zhang Hongbo asked.

“Yes,” Tang Chen’s voice was devoid of emotion.

Su Chen felt a chill. What kind of profession was this, so perverse?

“Who instructed you?”

“It was…” Tang Chen was about to speak, but his face suddenly became twisted, black patterns appearing on his cheeks, his hair fusing like snow. A black vertical pupil even appeared on his bald head.

“Black Tuluo!”

Zhang Hongbo’s face changed, and he abruptly retreated.

Bang! Tang Chen’s head exploded, red and white matter splattering everywhere. A series of gasps came from all around.

“Mysterious God Cult…” Zhang Hongbo said, his back to the crowd, his voice solemn.

“Black Tuluo believer…” Yuan Chenyang’s eyes glowed faintly, landing on Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian’s face was grim, and he quickly explained, “Frame-up, it must be a frame-up. Zhou Zong himself must have been unaware, otherwise he would have given the item on him to this fellow long ago. How could he have waited until after death for someone to strip his body?”

“Indeed, Zhou Zong himself probably didn’t know.” Yuan Chenyang nodded, then hinted, “But others may not have been unaware.”

Yuan Chenyang’s voice was cold. “Hu Xiang, why was Zhou Zong able to bring the item out? Didn’t you check him when you left the academy that day?”

Hu Xiang was drenched in cold sweat, now realizing he had fallen into a deep trap.

He cautiously said, “That day, a supervisory guard wanted to inspect, but we were standing right under their noses. I thought it was targeting…”

“What about these students?” Yuan Chenyang frowned. The grudges between the three major institutions had a long history and were vaguely related to Zhang Hongbo, so it was not easy to investigate thoroughly.

“Later, Department Head Zhou arrived and advised from both sides, so the supervisory guard’s inspection was merely a formality.”

“Ah…” Yuan Chenyang suddenly realized.

“I was simply trying to calm things down. Who knew… who knew Zhou Zong would have such a thing on him,” Zhou Xian retorted in a deep voice.

Yuan Chenyang roared, “Who knew? You knew!”

The theft of the Holy Word Stone had made him so distraught that he wished he could cut the perpetrator into a thousand pieces.

“Let’s investigate this matter thoroughly before saying anything more.” Zhang Hongbo did not pursue the matter further, but stopped there.

“Also, your team should return as soon as possible.” Zhang Hongbo pondered for a moment. “We’ll go back together.”

Someone from the Exploration Team beside him asked, “What about the ruins then…”

Zhang Hongbo waved his hand, “I’ll bring another group of people out. It won’t delay for more than a few days, so it’s settled.”

Many students were still somewhat bewildered, unclear about what had happened, but some still bravely said, “Headmaster, headmaster, what about our patrol this time…”

Zhang Hongbo treated these students with surprisingly good attitude: “You’ve experienced two attacks, far exceeding the intensity of other batches. You are considered to have completed your mission.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.

Time to return!

All in all, they had only been out for less than three days this time.

The matter of the Holy Word Stone and Zhou Zong’s death were not brought up again afterward.

Zhou Xian opened the body bag with a mournful expression, his trembling hand caressing the cold corpse. When he saw the unrecognizable shoes, his face trembled even more.

Tears streamed down, and his wailing could be heard throughout the entire camp, moving all who heard it to sorrow. “He’s starting to play the sympathy card. What an old fox, even using his own son’s corpse.”

Inside the tent, Yuan Chenyang heard the sound and scoffed.

His gaze then fell on the young man in front of him, his expression unkind.

“You…” He started to speak, then realized he didn’t even know his name. They had been talking for so long outside, and no one had mentioned it.

“What’s your name?” he asked, displeased.

“Su Chen,” Su Chen replied honestly.

“Su Chen?” Yuan Chenyang was surprised. “So you’re Su Chen.”

He then looked at Bai Fengxi next to him, “Is this Su Chen?”

“Hmm,” Bai Fengxi nodded.

Yuan Chenyang hadn’t expected that his connection with this young man had begun long ago.

“Really…” He couldn’t describe it, but then he frowned, scrutinizing and wary. “You… aren’t you a vagrant? How do you know Zhou Xian has a Holy Word Stone? And you’re a professional…”

“This matter is very complicated to explain…” Su Chen had already prepared an excuse. “Actually, I’ve been deeply thoughtful since childhood…”

“…My profession is a Riftwalker Warrior, left to me by my parents. For many years, I’ve been cautiously working towards the conditions…

“…Some time ago, I was almost there. I could only connect with Jiang He to seek resources… Who knew…”

Su Chen said a lot, and very carefully, attributing his profession to his unseen parents. He had migrated here, so it would be difficult to verify.

He also recounted in detail everything about Jiang He, including the attack that night.

“…”

“You even fought with that thief?” Yuan Chenyang was extremely surprised. “Did you discover the Holy Word Stone at that time?”

“Why didn’t you report it?”

Su Chen shook his head, “There was no evidence, and even if the thief was severely injured, he could probably still deal with me. I could only leave that thing behind. But if I didn’t have that thing, how could I explain it?”

“Indeed…” Yuan Chenyang couldn’t help but nod, his gaze still filled with scrutiny as he looked at Su Chen.

“Are you really going to be my student?” When he said this, he glanced at Bai Fengxi, a strange expression flashing across his face.

“Hmm,” Su Chen nodded solemnly. After all this, he was just waiting to latch onto this powerful figure.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll take you as my student.” Yuan Chenyang had already assented outside and would say nothing more now. He pondered,

“You were able to get hired so quickly. Although it’s due to many years of effort, your physical talent must also be good. When you go back, I’ll test you. I estimate you’re at least Bronze, and there’s hope for Gilded Silver.”

“By the way, what level is your Riftwalker Warrior profession?” he asked casually.

“Tier 1 Top-tier,” Su Chen replied.

Yuan Chenyang’s smile froze on his face. Bai Fengxi also looked over, a flicker of astonishment in her eyes.

“Tier 1, top-tier?” Yuan Chenyang swallowed hard, his eyes once again filled with deep doubt.

“Yes, do you need it? I can tell you.” Su Chen seemed to have prepared for this. After the profession devour was completed, he knew the requirements for the job.

Yuan Chenyang looked at Su Chen with a complex expression and hesitated, “That’s your parents’, after all…”

“My parents would also be happy to see this.” Su Chen said without hesitation, his expression sincere.

Yuan Chenyang paused slightly and chuckled, “Good boy.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t take your things for free.” Then he said solemnly, “Remember, don’t tell anyone else about this. If absolutely necessary, just say that I gave you the profession.”

He knew Su Chen wasn’t telling the truth. Could a top-tier Tier 1 profession be seen anywhere? But now he wasn’t going to delve into it.

Su Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This first hurdle was cleared. He had originally planned to deal with Yuan Chenyang after returning to the city.

In this sudden situation, even with Old Bai’s guarantee, it would be difficult to dispel the other party’s scrutiny and suspicion. The Riftwalker Warrior could at least serve as one of the tangible benefits, establishing a foundation of mutual trust.

The only thing that surprised him was that the value of a top-tier Tier 1 profession was much higher than he had imagined, which greatly changed Yuan Chenyang’s attitude.

At this moment, a figure flickered outside the tent, and the three closed their mouths simultaneously. An Exploration Team member outside called out loudly:

“Minister Yuan, to avoid hidden physical injuries, the City Lord wants to conduct a detailed physical examination of all patrol team members and students.”

“Medical examination?” Yuan Chenyang was slightly surprised. “Now?”

The Exploration Team member outside replied, “Yes, Department Head Zhou’s proposal.”
