My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 47

Chapter 47 【Mysterious Tool Control】 Zhou Xian’s Coercion!

“However…” Su Chen immediately couldn’t help but mutter again, “Hunting down three more tier-two professionals isn’t easy.”

Killing Qi Chuan seemed ordinary, but in reality, it was only successful with the help of the Supervision Department.

Moreover, tier-two professionals are the mainstays of Southwind City. For example, if Hu Xiang were to die, even the department head would inquire, unless it’s someone problematic like Qi Chuan.

[After employment, you can continue hunting.]

The panel answered his doubts, and Su Chen was relieved.

“The power of the Guiding God… To obtain this power, I still have to deal with them in the future.” Su Chen couldn’t help but feel suspicious when he thought of this.

This is currently the only thing that can actively trigger a professional change.

It’s untrue to say he isn’t coveting it, but the danger involved is not small, and it’s also very difficult to explain to outsiders.

“Let’s take it one step at a time.” Su Chen temporarily put it aside.

“Training makes me happy…”

He poured a bottle each of Black Flame Potion and Revitalization Potion, combined with the Liuli Blood Potion, and then walked into the gravity room.

“Training makes me happy…”

[Dual-Wielding] activated, he struck a pose, and various parts of his body began to tingle.

From the panel, he could see various training methods and the improvement of his career progress. This real-time feedback was also a psychological advantage.

Career development is not a game; the suffering and pain involved constantly diminish one’s willpower.

Killing Qi Chuan and discovering the Guiding seemed to cause a huge stir.

But for a period of time after, no one sought him out.

For a full seven or eight days, Su Chen locked himself in his room, doing nothing but sleeping and developing his career progress, consuming potions one bottle after another until they were all gone.

“Hmm…” Su Chen’s eyelids trembled, his head felt cold, and his mental power surged uncontrollably.

[Mysterious Tool Master developed to 50%, awakened ability—Mysterious Tool Enhancement: Other professional abilities can be used to control mysterious tools.]

“Mysterious Tool Enhancement?” Su Chen stopped, breathing heavily, looking at the panel description.

With a slight movement of his heart, the green iron cable appeared in his hand. He followed the sensation.

Gradually, wisps of green wind gathered on the iron cable and attached to it.

“It’s really like this…” Su Chen’s eyes were filled with surprise. He attached the ability of [Wind Erosion] to it.

Trying to swing it, the speed was more than a notch faster, and the destructive power also increased significantly.

“Tsk, the two professions are starting to complement each other.”

After playing for a while, Su Chen was in a good mood. Not only the Mysterious Tool Master, but other aspects also improved significantly.

[Riftwalker Warrior: 76%]

[Body Tempering Exercise — Proficiency: 40%]

[Purgatory Fire Meditation Method — Proficiency: 60%]

The training methods and meditation methods were already close to master level. The rapid improvement was all thanks to the [Liuli Blood Potion].

“It really is a treasure that even Ying Feng coveted.”

Su Chen licked his lips. Unfortunately, now not only the Liuli Blood but also the other potions were gone.

Without the aid of potions, his efficiency immediately slowed down. He planned to go and talk to his respected teacher.

As soon as he came out of his room, Su Chen noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He saw many middle and high-level officials rushing around with solemn expressions.

“Brother Sun?”

From a distance, Su Chen called out to the distinctive Fatty Sun.

“Little brother?” Fatty Sun, who had a gloomy expression, suddenly broke into a brilliant smile and quickly approached, “You’re finally willing to come out. I’ve never seen such a resilient young man. The younger generation is truly formidable.”

Ignoring his flattery, Su Chen quietly asked, “What’s going on? What happened?”

“You actually don’t know?”

Fatty Sun quietly pulled Su Chen to a corner and whispered, “These past few days, the Chief Supervisor has been absolutely insane, turning the Supervision Department, the City Patrol Department, the Exploration Department, and the Internal Affairs Office upside down, looking for Guiding God cultists.”

“Outside, there are already complaints and grievances.”

Su Chen’s eyebrows twitched, “Teacher, he’s that fierce.”

Could it be because of that Guiding?

After Old Yuan discovered it was an empty shell, he kept ranting that Southwind City was doomed, and after returning, he started a large-scale investigation.

“Who says no?” Fatty Sun sighed, “The city lord is not here, Minister Feng is not here, and Minister Jiang is not speaking. Chief Supervisor Yuan is almost the biggest one.”

Jiang Rong is silent? Su Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, “That Qi Chuan thing…”

“Shh…” Fatty Sun quickly pulled him, “No one knows.”

Su Chen suddenly understood. Outsiders didn’t seem to know about the Guiding.

Fatty Sun then turned the topic back, “The others are not pushovers either. In less than ten days, Zhou Xian, along with several deputy ministers, has already caused a commotion.”

“Have you found the Guiding God cultists?” Su Chen asked.

“We did find a few.” Fatty Sun’s face showed no joy. “But they are all minor figures. Even normally, a few are found each year, and some of them have long been under internal surveillance.”

Su Chen understood. Old Yuan’s grand actions hadn’t yielded the expected results, so naturally, others wouldn’t let it go. ……

On the top floor of the Supervision Department, Yuan Chenyang’s eyes chillingly stared at everyone present.

Zhou Xian’s face was flushed with anger, and he said repeatedly, “What exactly do you want to do!”

“The city is already in chaos, everyone is in fear!”

“Everyone in fear is better than everyone getting buried!” Yuan Chenyang said in a deep voice.

“Stop with that nonsense! Southwind City isn’t carried on your shoulders alone!” Zhou Xian retorted, not backing down at all, “When will this investigation end? If you don’t give us an explanation today, then you can just arrest us too!”

“Lest those below think we are all cowards, afraid of you!”

The deputy directors and high-ranking officials from other departments followed Zhou Xian, their expressions equally displeased.

“You want an explanation?” Yuan Chenyang suddenly stood up, his formidable aura forcing everyone to take a step back, “I’ll give you an explanation!”

“Follow me!”

He walked straight out, and everyone exchanged glances. Zhou Xian snorted coldly and followed closely behind.

Everyone made their way to the deep layers of the Supervision Department’s morgue, where a chilling white mist permeated the air.

Clang!

Yuan Chenyang pulled out a corpse. Zhou Xian frowned slightly, and after a long while, he hesitantly said, “This is… Qi Chuan?”

He’s really dead!

Zhou Xian’s heart was not as calm as his expression. Qi Chuan had been missing for many days, and he had already suspected something.

“What do you mean by showing us this dead man?” Zhou Xian’s expression was displeased.

Yuan Chenyang stared at him intently for a long time before saying, “He’s not important, but he was carrying an empty Guiding.”

“What!?” Someone behind Zhou Xian gasped, “An empty Guiding?”

Zhou Xian’s face turned pale with shock, an expression that seemed right and yet not quite.

How could it be… empty!?

“Can we take a look?”

Immediately, the confidence of the deputy ministers was not as strong as when they arrived.

Yuan Chenyang pushed the corpse back, then led everyone back to the office, casually throwing a metal box from a drawer.

Thud!

No one dared to pick up the object that fell to the ground, and everyone’s faces twitched.

This was a Guiding, just kept in a drawer like that?

“I told you it was an empty shell,” Yuan Chenyang said nonchalantly.

Zhou Xian was the first to pick it up, examining it carefully with a puzzled expression, but his heart grew increasingly suspicious.

What’s going on, it’s really empty?

The priest said the sacred artifact disappeared, but it turned out that its power was gone. But where did it go?

What exactly did Qi Chuan do!

“This was found on Qi Chuan’s body. Where did the power contained within it go?” Yuan Chenyang scanned the crowd, his tone pressing, “Perhaps, Heituo will sacrifice all of Southwind City at any moment!”

“And you are still here questioning me!?”

Everyone choked, having been led around by Yuan Chenyang and with the presence of the Guiding, their aggressive stance from when they arrived was completely gone.

But soon someone reacted, “But you’ve been investigating for so long and haven’t found any traces. If there really was a major operation, it couldn’t have been so secretive.”

“Perhaps, this thing was empty to begin with.”

“Or maybe…” Zhou Xian suddenly spoke, “Someone is crying ‘thief’ while being the thief.”

Yuan Chenyang narrowed his eyes and said faintly, “Whatever you think, this is my evidence. Bring out your evidence, and I will surrender voluntarily.”

Everyone’s reaction was within his expectations. After Su Chen was assassinated last time, he was prepared to conduct a thorough investigation, ready to confront them head-on.

Unexpectedly, Qi Chuan’s incident and the Guiding became a rare handle. Once it was brought out, these people had nothing to say.

“This can only shut their mouths.” Zhou Xian forced an ugly smile, put down the Guiding, and turned to leave.

Several deputy ministers exchanged glances and also left awkwardly.

After leaving the Supervision Department, Zhou Xian left without even saying hello, his cheeks finally trembling uncontrollably.

“Su Chen…” He practically squeezed these words from his throat. He had received news when Qi Chuan was arrested, but at first, he only thought it was Su Chen’s revenge after turning his life around.

But unexpectedly, things had inexplicably reached this point. The long-hidden Guiding had been exposed, and it had even become an empty shell.

“What… happened!”

“It can only shut their mouths, what does that mean? Are there more tricks up their sleeves?”

Yuan Chenyang rubbed his brows, utterly bewildered. “What on earth is going on? There’s no trace of any major operation throughout Southwind City.”

“They must have done something with the power within the Guiding.”

In the stairwell, a head poked out cautiously. It was Su Chen.

He didn’t want to show himself in front of Zhou Xian, so he only came up after the other party had left.
