My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 89

Chapter 89. Who is the real Heituo Cultist? (10k words, please give monthly votes!)

With that, Du Jingming charged forward, azure flames spewing from his body, scorching the air with sizzling sounds.

In an instant, the entire corridor was filled with flames, and electric arcs weaved through the sea of fire, gnawing at the azure flames like living things, yet they were twisted into spiraling light particles by the high heat, and sparks exploded.

Su Chen didn’t even say a word, turning to run.

“Don’t follow me!” Seeing Sun Tai still wanting to keep up, Su Chen whispered.

Zhou Xian’s target was only himself. Whether he could run or not, it was not good for Sun Tai to follow.

Sun Tai’s steps faltered, a hesitant look on his face.

Su Chen’s movements didn’t stop. He threw out a green rope, wrapping around Sun Tai.

“Ah!” Sun Tai couldn’t help but shout, his entire body flying uncontrollably and smashing into an adjacent room.

Su Chen had already sprinted a long distance, rushing into the twisted elevator door, beneath which was a dark elevator shaft, with flickering electric arcs crawling on both sides.

Carried by the azure wind current, Su Chen performed a somersault, kicking his legs against the upper part, then bending them slightly, head downwards.

Boom!

His leg muscles coiled like iron, and the wind current converged, almost solidifying into a physical form.

The next moment, Su Chen exerted force, a violent gale surged, his tattered clothes flapped, and his entire body shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

With the enhancement of gravity and speed, he plummeted downwards at an almost imperceptible speed.

“You can’t escape!”

Zhou Xian roared repeatedly, also showing ferocity, his body dissipating again to avoid Du Jingming’s frontal assault.

“He can still elementalize?” Du Jingming was shocked.

Elementalization was a special means, and even Tier 3 professionals found it difficult to master proficiently.

Because the rank was too low, it was easy to be affected by the natural environment, leading to complete elementalization, which was tantamount to suicide.

Zhou Xian using it once already surprised him, and this second time was practically a desperate gamble!

“The first time caught me off guard, does he want to do it again?” Although Du Jingming was surprised, he quickly moved his hands and didn’t chase after Zhou Xian.

Instead, he rushed towards the ceiling, plunging his iron arms into it.

Immediately after, the surrounding lights flickered, and he forcibly pulled out several thick metal wires, with electric sparks exploding from the exposed copper wires.

He tore them with both hands and plunged the exposed copper wire ends into the floor.

In an instant, violent electric sparks shot out, and the electric arcs that had been permeating the surroundings began to twist and jump.

This was a major flaw of elementalization. If it were a rainy night with thunder rumbling, let alone Zhou Xian was only a Tier 3 professional, even a Tier 5 professional wouldn’t dare to elementalize themselves.

Boom!

The swirling airflow enveloped Su Chen, and scattered green ropes shot out in all directions, embedding deeply into the walls, helping him decelerate.

In just a few breaths, the ground was within reach!

Crackling!

At the same time, the electric arcs attached to the elevator shaft quickly became active.

Su Chen felt a chill on the back of his neck. He turned his head and saw a cluster of electric arcs gathering, which was Zhou Xian.

“Damn it, this is really troublesome,” Su Chen gritted his teeth.

Rumble!

Su Chen slammed into the ground, dust rising everywhere, and he immediately jumped up, electric arcs weaving a net around him.

Above, Sun Tai hopped out of the room. When his feet touched the ground, the current spreading on the floor climbed up, and his fat body twitched non-stop.

“Du… Director Du… quickly…”

“Quick… help… help him!”

He urged repeatedly, his fat body already rushing towards the elevator shaft.

Without his words, Du Jingming had already made his move, clutching the electric wires with both hands, leaving streaks of sparks and lightning.

“You’ve been hiding too deeply…” Zhou Xian’s voice came from all directions, empty and scattered.

“You are the delicious soul my Lord spoke of, yet you were right under my nose.”

Su Chen’s expression darkened; he had been discovered after all.

His thoughts raced, he looked up, and made a decision.

“Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.” Zhou Xian’s figure was converging, smoke and lightning mixed together, everything inside was unclear.

“Unfortunately, you still can’t escape my grasp. As long as I sacrifice you, my Lord will be very happy.”

Zhou Xian’s silhouette had already solidified, but his right thigh suddenly disintegrated, blood gushing out, and Zhou Xian let out a wail, “Damn it, Du Jingming, I’ll kill his whole family!”

The influence of the ambient current caused his elementalization to deviate during the convergence process.

But this was not the time to look into these matters. His gaze turned to Su Chen, and the surrounding lightning intensified.

But at this moment, his heart stirred slightly, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his pupils contracted.

Zzz~zzz~

Su Chen’s eyes had turned an iridescent blue, and his hair, flowing upwards, also became iridescent blue, intertwined with electric arcs. His entire life aura surged several times!

Wind Lightning Envoy!

Su Chen entered the Wind Lightning Envoy state, and his perception of elemental power instantly increased several times, clearly sensing the peculiar transformation from elemental power to flesh in Zhou Xian’s not-yet-fully condensed body.

The Green Rope was drawn out, and scorching electrical currents surged within it, condensing into a searing white. Not only that, but scarlet lightning flashed in the air above the stairwell.

Psionic energy surged, and dust floated around, attempting to interfere with Zhou Xian’s body.

“Die for me!” Su Chen roared, unleashing his most powerful attack to date!

Crackling!

wωw◆ tt kan◆ ￠〇

“How is that possible, you… how could you…”

Lightning surged, and Zhou Xian’s expression was startled. The power of this strike made him feel threatened.

His elementalization hadn’t fully condensed, and the Green Rope was drawn into his body, various lightning elements that didn’t belong to him churned wildly.

His right arm, left leg, and abdomen simultaneously exploded with blood, blood gushing out, and Zhou Xian let out a miserable wail.

Du Jingming, falling from directly above, was startled and stared at the iridescent blue figure in disbelief. The life aura emanating from it was subtly equal to his own?

Su Chen gave him no chance, closing in to beat the drowning dog.

“Heh… heh…” Zhou Xian gritted his teeth, his face extremely grim, yet he forced a ferocious smile, “As expected of the delicious soul favored by my Lord, what a pity…”

His pupils suddenly turned black, and a rhombic crystal in his hand shattered, wisps of black mist spewed out, forming a sitting figure of Heituo’s phantom around him.

Su Chen’s body froze, an invisible force suddenly struck, and he felt a fatal threat.

And above, Du Jingming, who hadn’t yet fallen, was directly thrown upwards, his face full of panic.

“This… this is… Heituo!?”

Du Jingming clutched the elevator shaft, looking down at the area that was completely shrouded in black mist. A half-head emerged from it, with black vertical pupils clearly visible.

“Zhou Xian is fighting for his life.”

Sun Tai, clinging to the elevator shaft, his face pale, cried, “Brother, brother…”

“This guy already believes in Heituo…” Su Chen couldn’t help but think.

“Haha…” Zhou Xian burst into laughter, “How can an ant like you comprehend the Lord’s power?”

But then, his laughter abruptly ceased, and his eyes showed surprise. He felt a familiar sensation emanating from Su Chen. Immediately after, he saw the opponent’s hair suddenly disappear, and a black vertical pupil emerged on his head.

In this state, Su Chen felt that the subtle oppressive sensation emanating from the surrounding black mist instantly vanished.

“What!?”

Zhou Xian exclaimed in shock, the surrounding lightning also paused, the events happening to Su Chen made him feel inconceivable.

Su Chen was actually a Heituo believer?!

That feeling of kinship couldn’t be faked. How did the people from Ying Feng verify it!

Before his thoughts could settle, Zhou Xian’s heart skipped a beat again, because a familiar object appeared in Su Chen’s hand, a black vertical pupil crystal.

“Holy Eye! This is the one I gave to Yu Xuan, yet it fell into his hands!”

He knew the power of this thing, and Zhou Xian couldn’t help but flinch, but he quickly reacted, sneering:

“You can’t use it. You are a Faceless Ghost follower, disguised as a believer of my Lord. Your aura may deceive me, but it cannot deceive the power of my Lord!”

“Using this thing is like digging your own grave!”

Su Chen didn’t bother to respond, directly crushing it. Wisps of black mist surged out, also forming a sitting statue of Heituo around him, with faint whispers echoing.

Crackling electric arcs struck it, unable to cause any damage.

The two Heituo statues stared at each other, in a stalemate.

“How could this be!?”

Zhou Xian was stunned. Confusion, helplessness, and anger intertwined like flames, constantly eroding his sanity.

That was his Lord, his revered holy one, yet at this moment, he was protecting his enemy?

Could it be that he still had to prostrate himself now?

If Su Chen was truly a Heituo follower, the priest couldn’t have been unaware before, but if not, everything before him was inexplicable.

Who, exactly, was the Heituo follower!

“I… I will kill you, kill you!” Zhou Xian’s pupils were bloodshot.

That not-so-firm faith wavered at this moment, and the hatred for his murdered son surged anew.

What “delicious soul,” what sacrifice, at this moment, he just wanted to die with Su Chen!

“Die!”

He charged over recklessly, lightning surging violently, like thousands of thunderbolts piercing his heart, heading towards Heituo.

But at this moment, both Heituo statues simultaneously looked up, their gaze fixed on Zhou Xian.

They sensed an unfaithful believer!

Zhou Xian looked involuntarily, and then…

Boom!

The surrounding lightning scattered, and he flew backwards faster than he came, crashing through several walls before stopping, falling to the ground, spitting blood, his eyes unfocused.

On the first floor, the already well-prepared Supervisory Guards were startled.

“…” Zhou Xian stared intently at the darkness beyond the broken hole, blood foam bubbling from his mouth with a “heh heh” sound, and a figure gradually emerged.

His upper body was covered in green scales, and the clothes on his lower body were mostly torn. He leaped and landed beside Zhou Xian.

“Su Chen?” Someone among the surrounding Supervisors called out.

Su Chen glanced over and saw that it was Zhao Xiong, the former patrol captain.

“…” Zhou Xian wasn’t dead yet, just severely injured. Only one eye remained, staring fixedly at him.

Su Chen pressed his foot on his chest, and with a slight force, blood foam gushed from his mouth.

“Heh… heh… heh…”

Zhou Xian could only make such sounds, his resentful eyes fixed on Su Chen, filled with despair, and unwillingness…

Su Chen looked down at him, and silently, a wire snaked from under his foot and burrowed into the wound on his skin.

Soon, Zhou Xian fell silent.

“Finally dead.” Su Chen exhaled, feeling strange.

What just happened? Both Heituo statues actually attacked him simultaneously, strange…

“Su…Brother Su!?”

A surprised shout came from behind him. Sun Tai rolled over like a meatball, weeping with joy, “Brother, you’re fine, that’s great, that’s great!”

God knows, he had been desperate just now.

Initially, he did take care of the other party because of Yuan Chenyang, but taking care also had its sincere and casual ways.

He could wait until Su Chen had a problem and sought him out, which would still be reasonable.

However, Su Chen’s conduct made him believe he was a trustworthy person, so he had always actively helped, forging a deep friendship.

“Un…unscathed?” Du Jingming followed closely, relieved and yet surprised, glancing at the tragically dead Zhou Xian on the ground.

The opponent had used some mysterious means, yet still couldn’t defeat Su Chen. Was it the life-saving trump card left by Judge Xia?

“Got a little hurt, but it’s not a big problem.” Su Chen reached out to block Sun Tai, who had snot and tears all over his face, his expression not looking good.

“That’s good.” Du Jingming didn’t ask further questions, as it wasn’t his responsibility.

“Don’t just stand there, go upstairs and check if anyone’s injured.” Du Jingming turned and scolded the surrounding Supervisory Guards.

“Captain Zhao, please stay…” Su Chen called out.

“This is… the former Minister of Internal Affairs, Zhou Xian?” Zhao Xiong was stunned, walked over, looked down at the body being carried away, and then looked at Su Chen, who was being examined, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

When he first transferred here, he thought Su Chen was just a second-generation rich kid trying to build up his resume, but he never expected that in just a few months, he would be able to directly confront and fight Zhou Xian.

“Hiss—” Su Chen gasped, looking at the little girl from the Emergency Department who was examining him. Her face flushed, and she quickly said, “Sorry, sorry…”

His right arm was already purplish-red. Even with multiple layers of protection, an attack from Zhou Xian had been blocked, but its power had not been completely nullified.

“It’s fine…” Su Chen waved his hand. The young girl glanced at Su Chen’s muscular upper body, exhaled, calmed herself, and placed her hands on the swollen area of his body.

A faint green light emanated, drifting towards the injured area. A cool sensation spread, and the stinging pain gradually diminished.

Was this a profession specifically for healing?

Emergency Department… Su Chen had never used the services of this department before. No wonder only some high-ranking families used it—professionals provided personal service.

“Captain Zhao has become Deputy Section Chief?” Su Chen noticed the insignia on Zhao Xiong’s shoulder.

“Thanks to you.” Zhao Xiong was self-aware. This taciturn man found it difficult to utter flattering words.

He was unaware of the changes in the higher ranks, and even less that Su Chen had become a student of Judge Xia.

But his own inexplicable promotion, and Sun Tai becoming the Deputy Director, the only possibility was Su Chen.

Sun Tai added, “Captain Zhao’s ability is enough to take on the role, and he will soon become a Tier 2 professional.”

Tier 1 and 2 low-to-mid-level professions don’t demand much from individuals; as long as there are resources and time, one can eventually reach those ranks.

“Things over there should be heating up,” Du Jingming said, looking outside the Supervision Department.

Su Chen’s face slightly tightened. Everyone walked outside and saw the western sky glowing golden, like flowing fire.

“The problem shouldn’t be too big, right?” Sun Tai’s throat bobbed.
