My profession is too unique.

Chapter 45 Panic Among the Professions [Power of the Evil God]!
The first promotion requirement for [Wind Hunter] has been completed.

Qi Chuan died a gruesome death, falling backward with only two bloody holes between his eyes.

"The mental resilience of a second-tier professional is still quite high." Su Chen rubbed his brow, feeling a throbbing pain.

While those in physically demanding professions don't specifically train their mental strength, career advancement can still enhance their mental resilience.

It's impossible for a low-level mental profession to instantly kill a high-level physical profession.

After confirming that he was lifeless, they turned their attention to the several thin glass bottles scattered around him. They had been in a metal box but had been spilled during the battle.

"A targeted antidote?"

Su Chen picked it up from the ground, looking at the faint purple liquid inside. There were labels on the bottles, and there were two left. He put them both into his personal space.

"Hmm..." Carefully closing the door, Su Chen focused his mind and, with the help of his [Spiritual Vision], kept a close eye on the outside world.

Surrounded by swirling wires, thanks to his ability to multitask, he can now control most of the wires simultaneously.

Whoosh!
Stretched wires crisscrossed the wall, making a series of muffled thuds, like rapid drumbeats.

clang!
The crisp sound of something colliding made Su Chen look at the left wall. "There really is something else..."

With a little force, another metal box was pried out of the wall. It was heavy and exquisite, with a blackish-yellow color and crisscrossing patterns embossed on it, forming…

Su Chen examined it carefully, trying to make out what it looked like. "It seems to be... a vertical pupil?"

Click!

The metal box opened automatically, revealing a cross-shaped crack in the center, and then receded to the sides, billowing black smoke inside.

"What the hell?"

Su Chen was startled and hurriedly retreated, but the black smoke was faster than he had imagined, already wrapping around his body and rushing into his body.

"Delicious...soul..." A voice, seemingly real yet unreal, reached his ears. Su Chen's eyes glazed over, and he seemed to see an old man with a withered, lifeless appearance.

With his head bowed, his head bald except for a single vertical pupil, which seemed to be his true eye, he said, "I will bless you and make you my most devout believer."

"What is this thing?" Su Chen was surrounded by azure wind armor, but it couldn't stop the black smoke from pouring in.

The panel popped up abruptly—
[A hidden external force has been detected, which is eroding the host's profession.]

Corruption profession? Su Chen was startled.

[The Skybreakers sensed the danger and rose to the challenge...]

[The mastermind observes from the sidelines...]

The engineering apprentice was getting anxious...

[The Gale Hunter joins the battlefield...]

The space organizer rushed over...

[Scholars plead for help...]

A series of updates revealed that Su Chen had never seen these guys so enthusiastic before.

[Recognizing the crisis in various professions, we are currently working to tame external forces.]

"You...how could your body be like this..."

The seemingly real yet illusory voice in his ears suddenly became uncertain and startling. In the blur, Su Chen seemed to see the withered figure raising its head, but then it gradually disappeared.

"...I'll remember your scent..."

pat!

The metal box fell to the ground and closed automatically.

[Taming successful. Gained - Low-level Mystic God Power: Can be used on unemployed professions below tier three, causing certain peculiar changes.]

His heart was pounding, and Su Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat; he had been almost unable to move just now.

Fortunately, we weathered this crisis.

"Can a Ghost God really corrupt professions..." Su Chen murmured to himself, staring at the so-called [Low-Rank Ghost God Power].

Now that it has been tamed by the panel, the potential problems are probably gone.

After a moment, he looked at the yellow and black metal box on the ground, not daring to touch it easily.

"No wonder it's called the God of Deception, it is indeed strange. This means that the killing of Jiang He, the theft of the Sacred Word Stone, and all these inexplicable events are essentially the God of Deception's covert actions?" "This thing can definitely prove that Qi Chuan is suspicious. In that case, there's no need to hide this murder." Su Chen immediately took out a bracelet from his storage space, opened it, swiped it up and down, and found Lao Yuan.

Qi Chuan bribed Hu Xiang and sent an assassin to kill him. He had to die, regardless of whether he was Zhou Xian's man or had any connection with the Ghost God.

The only difference is that if he had no connection with the Ghost God, Su Chen would have had to clean up the mess himself, but now he can have someone else clean up his mess.

"Teacher, I've discovered something. Please come over as soon as possible." He spoke cryptically, but who knew if Nanfeng's data exchange center could intercept these conversations?

The signal was weak here, so Su Chen had to stick his head out of the window to send the message. Lights were already on on the floors below.

Old Yuan quickly responded: "...I can't leave here for the time being. If it's not a big deal, let Old Sun go first."

"This is a big deal."

A moment later, there was a response: "I understand. I'll get there as soon as possible. If you need any help, just ask Lao Sun."

Su Chen thought for a moment, then opened another chat window, “Brother Sun, the southern edge of the city… bring people here immediately.”

.........

Meanwhile, somewhere in Nanfeng City, a figure draped in a black robe suddenly raised his head, his pupils pitch black, his face filled with barely suppressed astonishment: "The sacred artifact has vanished!?"

.........

Su Chen then searched the room thoroughly, inside and out, to make sure nothing was missed before Fatty Sun arrived with his men.

The old inspector, who appeared to be a second-tier professional, pushed open the door and entered, panting heavily and covered in sweat.

His gaze swept over the corpse lying on the ground, but he immediately rushed to Su Chen, who was standing by the window, and asked with concern:

"Brother, are you alright?"

Several guards walked in one after another from outside the door. They were familiar faces, his colleagues from the 17th Patrol Team.

"Han Da, Lily..." Zhao Xiong pointed to the left and right, and the group carefully moved around the corpse.

"Boss, this person looks like... Qi Chuan?" Han Da glanced down at him, then looked up in astonishment.

"Qi Chuan?" Fatty Sun, who had been listening intently, changed his expression drastically, his face filled with impatience: "Hey, brother, why are you so hot-tempered? How could you kill him?"

"Is it because of that woman who came last night? What did she say to you? Did you record it? Get out of here, get out of here, we'll cover for you..."

Zhao Xiong and his group exchanged knowing glances, as if they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

Su Chen smiled helplessly: "Where can I go? No matter how much I try to hide it, I can't hide it from my teacher."

Fatty Sun's expression flickered. His fawning over Su Chen came from Yuan Chenyang, and he couldn't possibly hide such a thing.

But he immediately skipped the topic, as if suddenly realizing something, and asked in surprise, "This Qi Chuan seems to be a second-tier professional, right? Brother, how did you kill him?"

"I was starved for a few days at the Ministry of Supervision and drugged..." Su Chen replied casually.

Too poisonous.

Fatty Sun's lips twitched, but he also noticed that Su Chen was calmer than expected, which made him mutter to himself and realize something was strange.

Su Chen has already killed everyone; there's no need to call them to clean up the mess. He can handle it himself.

“Sigh… Lily…” Su Chen suddenly spoke up, “Don’t touch that thing.”

Lily stopped moving, looked at what was covered by the Shadow Cloak, shrugged, and turned to check something else.

"...This wall looks like it's been riddled with bullet holes..." Han Da leaned close to the wall.

"What's going on?" A deep voice came from outside the door, startling Fatty Sun.

How did Inspector Yuan arrive so quickly? I had just sent the message.

Zhao Xiong and the others immediately stood up straight, their throats bobbing, not daring to make a sound.

"Is this Qi Chuan?" Yuan Chenyang walked in, frowned at the corpse on the ground, his gaze passing over Fatty Sun and landing on Su Chen. He sighed, "Let's go back, I'll handle it."

Su Chen was quite surprised, thinking that Lao Yuan would ask him for an explanation or something.

"Teacher, over there." Su Chen pointed to the area covered by the shadow-avoiding cloak.

Yuan Chenyang's eyes flickered slightly. He stepped forward and lifted a corner of the Shadow-Hiding Robe. In just a fleeting glance, his pupils suddenly contracted.

This is... a trick weapon!
