My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 79

Chapter 79: The Oriole is You

“How is that possible!”

Zhou Xian suddenly roared, and the binoculars in his hand rattled.

Due to his position, he could only see the scene where the bodies fell from the first floor. Even if he didn’t know whose bodies they were, seeing the reactions of the supervisory guards, it certainly wasn’t Su Chen.

“The battle was so short, almost no sound. Two Tier 2 professionals died so silently?”

Zhou Xian was shocked. Although those two Heretic God Cultists were not advanced professionals, their development levels were not low. Even if Su Chen was a Gale Hunter, the gap shouldn’t be that big.

He had intended to use the two men to see who was secretly there, but he didn’t expect Su Chen to deal with them himself.

“This…” His expression turned gloomy as he looked at the Supervisory Sub-bureau in the distance, unsure whether he should go in.

Although no extra people appeared, the plan had gone awry. He hesitated for a long time before struggling to say, “Forget it, let’s wait for now…”

…

“Two whips, one for each,” Su Chen looked at the headless corpses on the floor.

With his current enhanced strength and equipment, even a slightly more powerful Tier 2 professional would only be “one ordinary whip” away.

He still used the Wind, Lightning, and Stealth to conceal his body, in case of any subsequent attacks.

But he also wondered, the commotion wasn’t small, where was Zhang Hongbo’s backup plan?

This old fellow wouldn’t be secretly causing trouble after a superficial reconciliation, would he?

If that were the case, he wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless, a cold glint flashed in Su Chen’s eyes.

“You’re very impressive.”

A hoarse voice came from the corner of the room, and Su Chen’s expression changed drastically.

Someone!

He almost instinctively moved. Before he could turn his head, the iron whip in his hand lashed out powerfully. Boiling electric arcs spread from his spine to his palm, climbing along the iron whip like electric snakes.

“Interesting…”

Seeing his combat method, the voice seemed somewhat surprised.

Su Chen then turned his head, and his pupils involuntarily constricted.

How could it be him?!

Su Chen looked at the familiar withered old man, it was the notoriously infamous Xia Hanshi, whom he had only met once!

He cursed inwardly, thinking “Oh no,” but it was too late to withdraw his strength. The Green Rope had already whipped to the opponent’s face.

Silently, the Green Rope solidified in front of him, unable to advance an inch.

“Tsk… a whip weapon, quite rare.” Xia Hanshi observed carefully, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting, sizing it up: “It can also be imbued with wind and lightning elements, no wonder it could instantly kill these two people.”

This old man was secretly peeking all this time?

Su Chen secretly exerted force, but the Green Rope couldn’t be pulled back.

He was very wary of this old man, not only because of Gu Bing’s portrayal, but also because of the man’s secret observation.

Xia Hanshi looked at the hole in the wall of the gravity room, then at the headless corpses lying face down.

Finally, his gaze settled on the spot where Su Chen had been hiding.

The old man paced in the room. “You discovered them long ago and concealed yourself in advance, killing them with one blow, leaving no one alive. Did you guess their identities?”

Su Chen carefully retracted the Green Rope. This old man was truly perverted, able to see so many problems at a glance. He became increasingly cautious.

“Is the Tier 1 Top-tier profession in Yuan Chenyang’s hands yours?” Xia Hanshi suddenly asked, seemingly a question, but actually quite certain.

Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated, “It’s because my teacher saw my extraordinary talent, so he…”

“Enough.” Xia Hanshi sneered, interrupting, “Your teacher has already told me.”

Su Chen remained silent, wondering if the old man was bluffing him or if Old Yuan had indeed revealed everything.

Very clever, Xia Hanshi added another evaluation in his mind.

“You killed Yu Xuan, right?” Xia Hanshi suddenly asked. Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he was surprised, “Yu Xuan is dead?”

Undisturbed in the face of danger, Xia Hanshi was quite surprised and increasingly interested. He said indifferently, “Sun Tai has already told me.”

After that, he added, “This time it’s true.”

Indeed… he was bluffing me just now, but Su Chen remained silent this time, not because he was suspicious but because he couldn’t answer.

Sun Tai couldn’t oppose Xia Hanshi, and from his perspective, this was not an unmentionable secret. If Xia Hanshi asked, Sun Tai would probably tell him directly.

“No oriole has ever come after me. Was it you that night too?” Xia Hanshi continued to ask, “You’re hunting Heretic God Cultists, why are you hiding it?”

Xia Hanshi’s sharp gaze pressed down on Su Chen, but Su Chen felt a slight sigh of relief.

Since the other party asked that, he probably didn’t know that his goal was Guiding.

True, no one would believe him even if he claimed to be a disguised Heretic God Cultist.

However, Su Chen was truly unsure of the other party’s intentions, and his hands were sweating cold.

Because of Gu Bing’s portrayal, he also had a sense of apprehension towards this old man.

Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Xia Hanshi didn’t press further. Instead, he said, “Your Tier 2 profession must also be quite extraordinary.”

“It’s the Gale Hunter…” Su Chen finally had a question he could answer, he said softly.

“Do you take me for a fool? A dual wind and lightning element, is that just a Tier 2 advanced profession?” Xia Hanshi sneered.

But Su Chen already had a draft in mind and explained, “This is because of the Arcane Apprentice. The professional ability is related to the lightning element…”

“Arcane Apprentice!” Xia Hanshi’s gloomy eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, “A Tier 2 Psionist?”

He didn’t seem too surprised, but rather, a verification that had been confirmed.

“Mhm.” Su Chen nodded, sighing inwardly. To avoid revealing more, he could only show limited abilities.

“How could it be so fast?” Xia Hanshi asked, vaguely suspecting something. His dark eyes faintly shimmered.

Psionicists are inherently slower to develop than Melee Fighters, as it’s difficult for them to use external aids for development.

“It’s because I started accumulating during the Vagrant stage…” Su Chen began speaking, ready to use the same spiel he used to fool Yuan Chenyang.

But before he could finish, Xia Hanshi’s aged face abruptly appeared before him, a very strange expression on his face. Su Chen forced himself to resist the urge to step back.

“You’re also a vagrant?” Xia Hanshi stared at him.

“Also?” Su Chen was surprised, “Are you, old man, perhaps?”

Xia Hanshi slowly nodded, a chilling killing intent emanating from his withered face. “Little beast!”

He now understood why Yang Yan and the other two had reacted strangely when he first met Su Chen.

Xia Hanshi being a vagrant, Gu Bing hadn’t told him, which Su Chen found strange.

But a second thought made him realize. She was probably afraid that revealing this would resonate with Su Chen, thus prompting him to consider allying with the other party.

But this person doesn’t seem to know my situation either, didn’t he investigate my background? If he wanted to, he would have known by now.

Xia Hanshi spoke hoarsely, seeming to understand his confusion, “I thought that someone like Yuan Chenyang would never look at a vagrant, let alone take one as a student.”

He was almost certain of something in his heart, but still asked, “What’s wrong with your talent?”

Su Chen knew he couldn’t hide it today, and reluctantly said, “Physique Canyi, spirit… Scarlet Gold.”

This is what Old Yuan initially calculated.

“Indeed!”

Xia Hanshi’s face, which had been like withered wood, stretched into an ugly smile.
