My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Promotion to Arcane Scholar!

“What’s wrong?”

In the reception room downstairs, Qin Cheng looked at the guy who was looking up.

Yu Xuan withdrew his gaze, the excitement in his eyes flashing, and he shook his head, “Nothing.”

Zhou Xian was right, Yuan Chenyang had actually taken a Mysterious God Cultist as a student. The Faceless Ghost… could actually impersonate a cultist of our Lord.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the three of them looked over in unison. Su Chen only recognized Section Chief Qin Cheng of the Patrol Division, a seemingly very slick middle-aged man.

“Ah, Su Chen…” Qin Cheng had already risen to introduce him. The thin, high-cheekboned middle-aged man on the right said, “Exploration Department, Zhou Mingguang.”

Zhou Mingguang nodded.

“This is Yu Xuan from the City Patrol Department.” The man on the left looked much younger and stared at him calmly.

Su Chen smiled and nodded. He would ask Hou Xu later. If these guys hadn’t changed their positions, Yu Xuan was probably the one causing trouble.

Hou Xu, who had been chatting with them, got up and excused himself. Qin Cheng invited Su Chen to sit down and sighed, “We came to see you this time because of Pan Yu’s matter.”

It was about this matter. Su Chen’s heart settled, feeling much relieved.

As long as it didn’t concern space crystals and Guiding.

“Pan Yu hasn’t shown up for a long time, so there’s probably no good news,” Zhou Mingguang said directly, staring at Su Chen, “We came to ask you if he had any abnormal behavior before he disappeared.”

“Well, I’m not familiar with him. The words we exchanged probably don’t exceed ten sentences,” Su Chen shook his head, “I really don’t know if there was anything unusual.”

“Are you very familiar with Hu Xiang?” Yu Xuan, who had always maintained a gentle smile, suddenly spoke.

He found out about Hu Xiang?

Su Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Zhou Mingguang and Qin Cheng frowned simultaneously.

This question was not what they had agreed upon.

“Well… this matter involves an old case. I suggest you inquire with the City Lord,” Su Chen shook his head.

Involving the City Lord again? Zhou Mingguang frowned even deeper.

“Is that so?” Yu Xuan had a look of sudden realization, “I understand.”

Su Chen looked at the others, and after a moment of silence, he tentatively asked, “Gentlemen, any more questions?”

Aside from Yu Xuan, the other two seemed to have no challenging questions prepared.

Su Chen wasn’t surprised by this. Ostensibly, he had no connection with Pan Yu.

“For now, there shouldn’t be any issues,” Zhou Mingguang frowned, glanced at Yu Xuan, and stood up, “We just came to ask. Pan Yu has been missing for so long, and we are all very anxious.”

He made an excuse, and Su Chen looked enlightened. They chatted casually for a while, and then the three of them departed.

Su Chen watched the three of them board the hover vehicle before returning to his room, his expression gradually becoming serious. “What exactly were these guys here for? Yu Xuan, that Heituo Cultist, mentioned Hu Xiang. Was it a warning, a threat?”

Hu Xiang had already gone on a long patrol and wouldn’t be back for at least half a month. It was impossible for the other party to have found anything from Hu Xiang.

“After investigating for so long, they only came to me after I stole the Guiding. Was I recognized when I attacked Zhou Xian that day?” He pondered from various angles.

“So they sent someone to probe me? But they shouldn’t naively believe I’m a Heituo Cultist, right?”

After a long while, Su Chen sighed, “Still not strong enough.”

…

On the hovering car, Qin Cheng said discontentedly, “Yu Xuan, what’s wrong with you? When you came, you confidently claimed to have clues, but you only asked about Hu Xiang here?”

“…We’re asking you, what’s the situation with Hu Xiang?” Zhou Mingguang was not polite. As the City Lord’s personal army, the Exploration Department had a higher status than the other two departments.

Yu Xuan shook his head, “Nothing. The deceased Qi Chuan had contacted Hu Xiang and secretly framed Su Chen, but the City Lord has already closed this case.”

“Hu Xiang probably went to him before to apologize.”

“There’s such a thing?” Qin Cheng was even more displeased. “Then Su Chen should be the victim.”

“I was not in favor of coming to him this time. His deputy section chief position was personally promoted by the City Lord. How could he be the biggest beneficiary? It doesn’t make logical sense. If you continue to act so unreasonably, Yu Xuan, just step aside.”

Yu Xuan was displeased. “I just don’t want to miss any clues. Asking a few questions and probing won’t hurt.”

Qin Cheng grumbled, “I said it when I came here, how could he be related to Pan Yu’s disappearance?”

Yu Xuan turned his head towards the window without speaking, but he was very happy. Now that he had confirmed Su Chen was a Mysterious God Cultist, the next steps would be easier.

…The inexplicably arriving Yu Xuan and his group made Su Chen feel a heightened sense of urgency.

But the next few days were unusually calm, and no follow-up came.

Zhang Hengyu discovered that after their last communication, Su Chen not only didn’t relax but became even more engrossed. In the past, he would occasionally invite him for a meal, but now he hadn’t seen him for five or six days.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep up.

“Finally…” Su Chen ended his training, exhaled, and walked out of the training room, his eyes unfocused.

[Ethereal Meditation Method: Master]

[Acquired ability – Ethereal State: Increased spiritual activity.]

The surging spiritual power gradually calmed down. With the help of [Spiritual Vision], the perception range had expanded to twenty meters.

The development progress of [Mysterious Tool Master] reached 100% two days ago, mainly waiting for the Meditation Method to reach the Master level.

Everything was ready, except for the Whispering Trial.

“Are all the spiritual professions so bizarre? I’d rather deal with some Tier 2 professionals.” Su Chen recalled his inauguration, still feeling a lingering fear.

However, if he wanted to advance, there was no other way.

This time, he could finally put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door.

He sealed the cracks in the bedroom door, completely blocked the curtains, and sat cross-legged on the bed. He skillfully drew an “inverted cross” on his chest.

“Buzz…”

It was similar to the first Whispering Trial, but the reaction was more intense. The surrounding sounds gradually became chaotic, but this time, with the increase in spiritual power, he had a completely different feeling.

He subtly felt a breakthrough in the mental boundary and could clearly distinguish that he seemed to have entered another world, with some scenes gradually appearing around him.

The undecipherable sounds in his ears became clearer, as if the source of the sounds was right beside him.

“…Jí…Jí…”

Vaguely, Su Chen could hear a single word.

At the same time, scarlet flames suddenly ignited before his eyes.

This time, he no longer saw a black triangle, but a gigantic creature with scarlet wings growing from its back. He didn’t know how far away it was, or how massive it was.

It had four heads, facing four directions, wreathed in scarlet lightning. As its wings flapped, scarlet flames covered the sky.

It was hard to imagine what kind of creature this was, and Su Chen’s consciousness gradually became blurry.

Suddenly, his visionbrightened, and all the scenes vanished.

The curtains rustled violently, as Su Chen raised his finger, and a blue wind column directly pierced through the window.

“This is too damn bizarre.”

His back was drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn’t help but recall the scene when he first touched the Guiding, but for some reason, he also remembered the scene when he had contact with the Guiding at that time. The two seemed to have similar characteristics.

“Could that thing also be a kind of Mysterious God cultist…” Su Chen secretly speculated, adjusting his emotions, and opening the panel. All the promotion requirements had been met.

Promote!

[Mysterious Tool Master successfully promoted to Arcane Scholar!]

[Mysterious Tool Control and Enhancement merged — Mysterious Tool Master: Can control two Mysterious Tools simultaneously, and imbue them with your professional abilities.]

[Mental Spike蜕变–Mental Interference: Further enhances the ability to mentally influence external targets.]

[Acquired professional ability — Scarlet Thunderbolt: Steals power from Scarlet Corruption.]

Su Chen only felt a chill in his brain, and his spiritual power began to boil, rapidly increasing. His perception range quickly expanded, and everything around him appeared in minute detail.

[Mental Shielding], [Starlight Melody], [Ethereal State] quickly integrated into his spirit, becoming his foundation and accumulation.

An invisible force spread out, causing the tables, chairs, and benches to tremble uncontrollably. Environmental details and faint noises surged towards him, and his brain felt like it was about to explode.

After a long time, Su Chen managed to control his surging spiritual power, flipping through the panel and digesting the series of information.
