My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 56

Chapter 56: 【Heituo Cultist】? Forced employment!

“You want to kill me!” Pan Yu’s face twisted. “You’re asking for death!”

Hu Xiang’s expression sharpened. His initial attack was aimed at the opponent’s heart, but Pan Yu managed to move slightly at the last moment, avoiding the fatal blow.

Hu Xiang pulled the gun back, but failed to succeed. The opponent, instead, used that force to rush towards him.

Pan Yu’s mouth was overflowing with blood. He clutched the long gun embedded in his left hand, and a black light flashed from his right, as his dagger thrust towards Hu Xiang.

But in an instant, his vision blurred, and he was momentarily disoriented.

His movements slowed, and Hu Xiang seized the fleeting opportunity. Flames, like a raging dragon, surged into the long gun, and along the line of fire, they instantly scorched Pan Yu’s body.

Boom!

Flames raged, and Pan Yu became a man ablaze. The intense pain from all over his body made it difficult for him to think. “Who wants to kill me?”

Even if his identity was exposed, it shouldn’t be such an ambush and assassination!

“No, I absolutely cannot die here!”

His desire to survive made him squeeze out every ounce of strength from his body. His adrenaline surged, and under the shining light all around, his body emanated a gray, mist-like glow.

He launched himself like an arrow from a bow, charging towards the brightly lit lights around him.

He could hide in the shadows. As long as these lights disappeared, this guy wouldn’t be able to do anything to him!

“As long as, as long as I can destroy just one, that’ll be enough!”

The living room wasn’t large to begin with, and Pan Yu’s explosive speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he reached one of the large lights and lightly stabbed it with his dagger.

With a pop, the light dimmed and went out.

“Oh no!” Hu Xiang’s expression tightened. He was good at frontal combat, but not so much with speed.

If Pan Yu escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hope ignited in his eyes, but the next moment, a fierce wind howled around him, and a chill spread from his tailbone, making him almost afraid to look back as he tried to dart into the shadows.

But it was too late. Su Chen’s Green Rope glowed even brighter, infused with highly compressed wind elements, making its power even more terrifying.

Snap!

The tip of the Green Rope exploded with a crack. Pan Yu felt a sharp pain in his spine, followed by a loss of sensation in his lower body.

“There’s… someone else!?”

His body swayed and fell. Hope faded from Pan Yu’s eyes, replaced by unwillingness and regret. He turned his head with all his might.

Against the light, he could only see the vague figure of his opponent, who seemed to be rubbing his temples.

But even without seeing his face, just seeing this somewhat familiar figure made Pan Yu disregard the searing pain in his body.

Su Chen!

I hadn’t even touched him, and he came to kill me?!

In Pan Yu’s pupils, he saw Su Chen bending down to pick up the dagger he had pulled out, examining it carefully, and his vision gradually dimmed.

[Hunting Path has completed objective: 1]

[Shadow Dagger (Tier 2): Crafted from gray gold, possessing extremely strong concealment abilities.]

Hu Xiang’s stance was still that of someone charging forward, his throat bobbing, incredulously: “Tier 2… Professional?”

Su Chen was already a Tier 2 professional, no wonder he felt something strange.

“A Tier 2 professional, hard to kill, huh?” Hu Xiang stared at him as if he’d seen a ghost, then at the corpse on the ground. A bloody hole had burst open in the center of Pan Yu’s back, a chilling sight.

This was the easiest time he had eliminated a professional of the same tier. Su Chen had instructed him to prepare high-powered incandescent lamps and had thoroughly understood the opponent’s weaknesses.

With their cooperation, they barely expended any effort, and didn’t even make much noise.

Hu Xiang even felt that with the power of Su Chen’s final blow, he could have beaten Pan Yu to death even without his own intervention.

But he still let him strike first, to ensure absolute certainty, or rather, to give Pan Yu the deepest despair.

Hu Xiang believed his initial assessment was correct; this was a “monster.”

“What next?” Hu Xiang looked at the corpse on the ground, instinctively deferring to Su Chen.

“You go first, I’ll handle this,” Su Chen waved his hand, then added, “Oh, can you burn him to ashes first?” “He is a Tier 2 professional after all. To burn him to ashes, the temperature isn’t quite high enough. At most, he’ll be reduced to a skeleton.” Hu Xiang shook his head.

“A skeleton is enough,” Su Chen nodded, watching Hu Xiang burn Pan Yu’s flesh and blood away little by little. As he was leaving, he hesitated and then spoke, “Can I ask you for a favor?”

“Speak,” Su Chen swept his gaze over him, his expression composed.

“You will definitely go to Xingfeng. If possible, could you help me keep an eye on any clues about the Mist Nightmare Pearl?”

Hu Xiang’s words revealed a cautious plea.

Su Chen was silent for a moment, then a grin spread across his face. “No problem.”

This might have been a promise without a response, but Hu Xiang still breathed a sigh of relief and left with anticipation.

At this moment, only an hour or two remained until dawn.

“That’s enough,” Su Chen disassembled the bones and put them one by one into his storage space.

He then went upstairs and threw the small safe inside, almost filling up his storage space.

Before Pan Yu returned, they had searched the entire room, and the only valuable items were probably those in the safe.

As for things related to the Mysterious God Cult, they hadn’t found any.

“I wonder how long I can hide… Hu Xiang has his wife’s situation, and Old Yuan’s reputation to keep things quiet, so this matter shouldn’t be leaked.”

As dawn broke, Su Chen returned to the Supervision Department.

“The Mysterious God Cult can’t be active in Southwind City all the time. Besides, people from Xingfeng have already arrived. I always feel there’s something fishy about this. I hope these cults can be eliminated as soon as possible.”

“Pan Yu had been living a comfortable life for too long. All his information was thoroughly investigated. Under targeted scrutiny, he didn’t even have the ability to resist.” Su Chen reflected, becoming more convinced that it’s good to keep some things hidden.

“The dagger is good. A Tier 2 weapon combined with the Green Rope can catch people off guard.”

Su Chen stretched out his hand, and the dagger appeared. A green wire crawled out from his sleeve, wrapped around the hilt of the blade, and danced around him like an arm.

Having eliminated Pan Yu, he could probably enjoy a period of peace until the Mysterious God Cult confirmed his death.

“A Tier 2 professional is already considered a pillar of Southwind City. Zhou Xian is being watched very closely, so he probably won’t dare to act personally. I’m much safer now.”

“As for this safe.” Su Chen took out the exquisite black and gold small safe from his storage space. The material was indeed sturdy.

But it couldn’t withstand a Tier 2 dagger. With a little force, he pried it open.

“This is…” Su Chen’s breathing hitched. The first thing that caught his eye were three pink potions, precisely the Liuli Blood.

“This guy actually has such good stuff,” Su Chen was surprised.

But then he thought, this guy has a dual identity and has been operating in Southwind City for so many years. It’s probably quite normal for him to get two or three copies.

“Thank you for the gift,” Su Chen tucked them away with a clear conscience.

There were also ten crystal-white metal blocks. Su Chen opened his smart bracelet and, after searching for a while in the library database, finally identified them.

“…Qiongguang Stone…more effective at dispelling mist than Morning Star Stone…considered a relatively common precious metal…” Su Chen weighed it in his hand. “One piece is estimated to be worth five thousand gold.”

“This guy must have been ready to abscond at any moment, turning all his savings into ‘gold bars’.” Su Chen was in a good mood. This would just benefit him. It was truly a registered savings card, useless even if he took it.

“Murder and plunder, it’s indeed the best way to get rich,” Su Chen put away these things and couldn’t help but sigh.

At the bottom was a paper document. Su Chen opened it and only glanced at it, his expression slightly changing:

[Discovered special profession – Heituo Cultist. Can be employed upon fulfilling requirements.]

[Heituo Cultist employment requirement: Possess reverence for Heituo.]

[Heituo Cultist has detected that the host has no reverence for Heituo, provoking anger, and is preparing for forced employment!]

“They’re going to force the job change.” Su Chen’s face was grim. The system’s reaction speed was too fast; he had only glanced at the information, and it had already been recorded.

But soon, Su Chen’s expression relaxed.

[Perceiving the malicious intent of the Heituo Cultists, various professions gathered, ready to have a good “discussion” with this new acquaintance, hoping to improve their ideology and lead them back to the right path…]
