My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Identification – Su Chen Is a Cultist of the Mysterious God!

The rhombic facets sparkled with an eerie glow. The object in his hand was only the size of a thumb.

[Black Tuluo Prism Eye – Consumable: An item that can only be used by Heituo Cultists.]

Su Chen guessed it was a one-time offensive item.

“That Yu Xuan seemed to want to use this to counterattack before he died. Its power must be considerable.”

He threw it into his storage space. He could disguise himself as a Heituo Cultist, so he should be able to use it. “It’s a trump card, at least.”

He took out a Mist Nightmare Potion from his storage space and poured it into his mouth. After a careful check, he found that he had only three bottles left.

With the boost from [The Wise], his talent improvements were apparent in all aspects, including potion absorption efficiency. He could consume two Mist Nightmare Potions a day.

“The Aura Potion is useless now too. I need a Tier 2 meditation potion and an E-grade meditation method…” Su Chen had a headache just thinking about it. He could only wait for Old Sun to arrive and ask him.

…

“Yu Xuan didn’t come back?”

In a seemingly ordinary civilian house, Zhou Xian’s expression was clearly not right, very gloomy: “Today’s encirclement was obviously not specifically targeted, and he had the [Black Prism Eye] I just gave him. He should have been able to escape.”

The priest glanced at him, his voice deep and dark, “Could it be a ruse?”

“A ruse? Him?” Zhou Xian paused slightly, then realized that the priest was suspecting if he had defected. He immediately retorted angrily, “Have you ever seen anyone use a ruse to kill his own son!?”

“Just saying, why so anxious?” the priest said indifferently.

Zhou Xian’s face flushed crimson, and the veins in his neck pulsed. “It must be Su Chen!”

“The disappearance of Pan Yu before, and now Yu Xuan’s disappearance, those who kept an eye on him have vanished without a trace. This is absolutely no coincidence!”

“He seems to be acting with impunity.” The priest’s expression was dark and difficult to discern. “Yu Xuan had already confirmed that he was a cultist of the mysterious god. Where does he get such confidence?”

“Would you like to test him?” Zhou Xian’s heart stirred slightly.

The priest’s dark pupils stared at him. “Xia Hanshi is still here. Before the holy idol arrives, I don’t want him to discover me.”

“Go out of the city now and ensure that the transportation of the holy idol goes smoothly.”

“As for Su Chen, give him some trouble. Don’t let him and the mysterious god behind him pay attention to us.”

Zhou Xian looked at the eyes that resembled an abyss, involuntarily shifted his gaze, and nodded, “Understood.”

…

“Recently, our Supervision Department has been acting really quickly.”

Early the next morning, Su Chen heard people discussing this in the cafeteria.

“Some time ago, they took down a cultist den. Last night, there was another big operation, and I heard they arrested quite a few people.”

“Now the other two departments know how powerful we are, don’t they? Before, the director made a big show of investigating people, but didn’t get any clues and was mocked by them instead.”

“Although the city is not as dangerous as outside the city, many things are hidden beneath the surface. These two ambushes were probably a follow-up to the director’s investigations from a while ago.”

Many people in the Supervision Sub-bureau were proud and enthusiastic.

“I heard that Zhou Xian was discovered last night, but he managed to escape…” Hou Xu, sitting next to him, sighed when he brought up the matter. “What a pity, otherwise it would have been a great achievement.”

Su Chen listened without saying anything, finally clinking his bowl with Zhang Hengyu’s. “I wish you a smooth promotion.”

He drank the soup in his bowl in one gulp. Zhang Hengyu was momentarily stunned, then also finished his, sincerely saying, “Thank you.”

Zhang Hengyu was about to be promoted to a Tier 2 Professional, and the estimated time was two months sooner than expected.

This was also because he had been stimulated by Su Chen during this period, and his training had never stopped. Although the process was very tedious, when it came to harvest time, he had a different state of mind.

“The talisman ran away.” Su Chen sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

According to Zhang Hengyu, his professional advancement required special assistance from others.

After seeing Zhang Hengyu off, Su Chen was not in a hurry to train. As expected, in the afternoon, Fatty Sun came to find him in a hurry.

“My little brother, this is another great achievement.” Fatty Sun, as usual, carried a metal box. Although excited, he was also somewhat suspicious and lowered his voice:

“Little brother, there are no outsiders here. Tell me honestly, what exactly happened this time?”

“What happened?” Su Chen still pretended to be confused: “It was just a rumor. Who knew it was true?”

Fatty Sun saw that he was unwilling to speak and did not press further. In any case, it was a meritorious deed to eliminate a cultist of the mysterious god.

“Alas, what a pity…” He showed a hint of regret. “If I had known Zhou Xian was there, I would have informed the City Lord.” “Zhou Xian was actually there?” Su Chen was surprised. “What exactly happened?”

“It was a den. Some of the high-ranking officials in that factory were mysterious god cultists, and the lower-ranking ones were just doing things for money, providing convenience.” Fatty Sun shook his head: “However, during the screening last night, a charred body was found not far from the encirclement.”

“Who it is exactly is still unknown. The department is doing DNA analysis.”

“By the way, one more thing, you need to come back with me this afternoon. The City Lord wants to see you,” Fatty Sun finally said.

Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he temporarily suppressed his intention to inquire about Tier 2 meditation potions. He said unexpectedly, “Why?”

“I don’t know,” Fatty Sun said carelessly. “You’re so close with his son, it can’t be anything bad.”

“Could it be that they’re transferring you back to promote you to section chief? That seems a bit too fast.”

He mumbled, still imagining good things.

Su Chen, however, frowned. After they talked for a while, Su Chen greeted Hou Xu and then followed Fatty Sun in a hovercar back to headquarters.

Old Sun had achieved successive merits, and his mood was high. Su Chen sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window, occasionally giving perfunctory responses.

Upon arriving at the Supervision Department, they went straight to the top floor office.

Zhang Hongbo was already waiting for him there. Just like the first time Su Chen met him, he had a warm smile on his face and gestured for Su Chen to sit down.

“Hengyu is about to be promoted to a Tier 2 professional, faster than I expected, and thanks to you,” Zhang Hongbo said with emotion.

“We encourage each other,” Su Chen replied in a proper manner.

“Last night, we almost caught Zhou Xian. Sun Tai is quite a character; he has a lot of clues,” Zhang Hongbo suddenly brought up the matter.

“Brother Sun has always been very capable.” Su Chen’s response was impeccable.

The troublesome thing about dealing with such old foxes is that you can’t tell whether their words are genuine sentiments or probing.

“When you were a vagrant before, did you encounter anything?” Zhang Hongbo’s eyes sharpened slightly, but he added, “I’m not intentionally bringing up painful memories, just asking how things were handled by the people below.”

“That’s not even a scar,” Su Chen shook his head, pondering, “The City Lord’s orders were implemented about sixty to seventy percent. Although I wasn’t full, I wouldn’t say I was starving.”

“Sixty to seventy percent is pretty good,” Zhang Hongbo said helplessly. “Human hearts are unpredictable.”

Su Chen really didn’t want to chat with him any longer, so he simply asked, “City Lord, what do you want me for?”

“No rush, just waiting for two people,” Zhang Hongbo motioned for him to relax.

Su Chen remained silent, and the two fell into silence. After about five or six minutes, two people arrived.

A cool-looking white-haired man and a gentle elder sister.

“Let me introduce them. Yang Yan and Gu Bing, special envoys from Ying Feng.” Zhang Hongbo stood up and gestured.

“Special Envoy Yang, Special Envoy Gu,” Su Chen greeted them.

Yang Yan sized up Su Chen, secretly nodding. He was neither arrogant nor humble, calm and composed.

“What a handsome young man,” Gu Bing pushed up her glasses, observing him closely.

“Why the rush to call us here?” Yang Yan asked indifferently.

They don’t know either? Su Chen muttered to himself.

Zhang Hongbo glanced at him, then sighed: “It’s like this, someone reported Su Chen as a cultist of the mysterious god.”

Indeed, their actions were swift. It was also a false accusation, using their own tactics against them?

Su Chen understood in his heart, but feigned surprise and exclaimed, “What!?”

Yang Yan frowned upon hearing this, and his gaze towards Zhang Hongbo carried disgust.

The last time he used Su Chen as bait, it was somewhat reasonable, and although there were no results, he didn’t take it to heart.

But this time, the method was too crude, and just like last time, to divert Yuan Chenyang’s attention, he dragged them into it as well.

Gu Bing, next to him, was equally unimpressed. She already disliked Zhang Hongbo, and seeing Su Chen in person this time only made her more displeased.

“I didn’t expect City Lord Zhang, with all his daily duties, to still have time to deal with these reports,” she said with a hint of sarcasm.

Su Chen was truly surprised this time. Was this woman speaking up for him?

But someone had opened the attack, so he immediately followed up, angrily saying, “City Lord, do unfounded accusations like this really need to be weighed and considered?”

“Am I supposed to just write a letter and accuse you, accuse Zhang Hengyu, accuse Zhang Yunqing, and you’ll question them too?”
