As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

"Tell me, what were you doing just now? Were you keeping a mistress?"

As soon as the door opened, Xie Chong looked around. He seemed to have heard other people making noises earlier.

But looking around at the peeling walls and old furniture, he shook his head. "Forget it, with you in this state, which beauty would want you?"

Besides, even if he does have a girlfriend, that's Shen Qing's own business.

"And your front door."

Xie Chong changed the subject, looking at the yellow door and clicking his tongue a few times, "You could call it a power distribution room if you just put up a sign saying 'Danger of Electricity' on it."

While it's true that those with supernatural powers should stay away from crowds, this doesn't have to be this tragic, does it?

I thought I'd gone to the wrong place.

As Xie Chong spoke, another person walked in from behind, dressed in a gray work jacket, looking very inconspicuous.

He was carrying a metal box whose purpose he didn't know.

These were the logistics personnel specifically responsible for the aftermath. Shen Qing curiously approached them. Although he had seen them before, this was the first time he had witnessed how they actually cleaned up the demon corpses.

Well, first they dismember the body, dissect it, and find out what's useful.

Then a bottle of brown liquid was poured on it, and the Yan demon's corpse instantly began to corrode.

In a short while, the demon's corpse, with wingspans reaching two meters, vanished without a trace.

"Holy crap, bone-dissolving potion?"

Shen Qing's eyes widened, and she subconsciously took a step back. However, the smell was not pungent and would not arouse suspicion. It seemed to be a derivative of some kind of talent ability.

"By the way, does this get reimbursed?"

After the demon's corpse completely disappeared, Shen Qing looked at the mess in the living room. If the landlord found out, he wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it.

Upon hearing this, Xie Chong smiled and nodded, "Of course we'll take care of it, since it's not our money anyway."

The trouble was caused by the Night Owls, so naturally they're responsible for reimbursing them.

After cleaning up the demon corpses, the logistics staff quietly left, and Xie Chong went to contact them about the reimbursement issue.

As for Shen Qing, he thought for a moment, turned around and went downstairs. When he came back, he was carrying a few steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.

He walked to the door of the side bedroom and whispered:

"Breakfast is on my bedside table in my bedroom. I'll order takeout for you for lunch, just ask."

……

Underground base.

The elevator doors opened, and Shen Qing and Xie Chong stepped out one after the other.

"It's still about Night Owl and his men."

As Xie Chong walked, he took out his phone, opened the Hummingbird app, and pointed to the task interface on it, saying, "There were quite a few of those demons from yesterday."

So the software updated the task list overnight.

Shen Qing leaned closer, and heard him continue:

"Not only Night Owl, but we can also take on missions from above, and the rewards are even a third more than usual."

"So many tasks?"

Looking at the list of tasks, Shen Qing frowned slightly; there were at least twenty or thirty demonic events listed.

Even if there's some uncertainty, when did the situation in Binhai City become this serious? Fortunately, the locations are almost all far from the city center.

"What's going on? Normally—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qing's pupils suddenly contracted as she caught something out of the corner of her eye. "Be careful."

He leaned back and pushed Xie Chong to the ground.

"No, what are you doing!" Xie Chong fell to the ground, barely able to speak. "And when did you learn to bend over backwards?"

Shen Qing casually replied, "There's a lot you don't know."

It was also a subconscious behavior of his to increase physical flexibility, including suppleness.

What would it feel like to glide through the air without any equipment? The thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it any further.

A grid-like electric net grazed past the two of them before crashing into the corridor wall and disappearing.

"Has the base been hacked?"

Shen Qing suddenly stood up and warily scanned her surroundings.

Is the situation that serious? There are traps in the base. Are there other supernatural beings involved? But they don't seem to be very lethal.

He suddenly looked towards the side wall.

"Pah, what a joke!" Xie Chong sneered as he got up, brushing off imaginary dust. "It must be that little bastard He Ying's prank!"

"You defeated opponent, how dare you insult me?"

Before he finished speaking, the side of the wall suddenly flashed, and a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and was wearing a hoodie jumped out.

"slightly……"

He made a face at Shen Qing and the other person with a provocative expression, sticking out his tongue. He looked incredibly irritating, until someone called him.

"He Ying, we're on a mission, don't waste time."

"oh."

Two people, a man and a woman, walked out of a room in the corridor. The three of them acted as if they hadn't seen Shen Qing and Xie Chong, and left without apologizing.

Shen Qing frowned and took a step forward, but Xie Chong shook his head and stopped him.

"They're on a mission, and putting aside the fact that internal forces can't act rashly, if you try to stop them, they might turn around and bite you."

He explained, "The tasks are quite urgent now, and we can even accept them repeatedly, as long as we complete them."

The two watched He Ying's retreating figure; the kid had even given her the middle finger before the elevator doors closed.

"Damn it, this little brat," Xie Chong gritted his teeth, "his optical and electronic abilities are just disgusting."

"Do you know him?"

"Yes, I was in the same batch of Night Owls as him."

As he spoke, Xie Chong became somewhat awkward, "But because I lost a bet, I quit Night Owl, and since Hummingbird also needed people, they transferred me here."

"Bet, or withdraw?"

Shen Qing looked at him as if he were an idiot, then asked, "Do you know where they went?"

"Do you want revenge?"

"What are you going to do?" Xie Chong's eyes lit up instantly, but he still pretended not to know.

"Let's join in the fun and see if they need any help."

Shen Qing's lips curled up.

He was personally authorized by their Night Owl team leader to suppress the Night Owl members' arrogance and also to find out what the strength of an eighth-rank member really was.

The captain is probably an exception, after all, he can communicate on equal terms with Night Owl's seventh-rank team leader.

Are you confident?

Xie Chong was still hesitating verbally, but he had already locked onto a task on the app.

"Never mind, they're probably heading to some abandoned village in the suburbs. Let's go, let's change our car today."

He had been holding back for a long time, especially yesterday when He Ying secretly tripped him in the cafeteria, almost causing him to fall. Just thinking about it made his blood pressure spike.

Whether or not I can vent my anger, I just can't take it anymore.

……

Half an hour later, in the suburbs of Binhai City.

An SUV was driving on the national highway, with trees rushing past.

Xie Chong was driving, and Shen Qing was sitting in the passenger seat. In the distance, they could see He Ying and the other two attacking a demon in an open space. It was a brown bear that was nearly four meters long.

Its fur is dark brown, and its eyes are bright red. People look like toys in front of it.

"What do we do?!"

Xie Chong shouted loudly, his voice filled with excitement.

Shen Qing stared at the massive figure ahead, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Charge! Break through!"

"?"

Xie Chong's mind went blank for a second.

"Holy crap."

He stared wide-eyed and yelled, "Are you crazy? You're going to get a real scolding when we get back!"

Xie Chong kept shouting, but his actions didn't stop. He even stepped on the gas, and the off-road vehicle was already going 80 miles per hour on the national highway.

Suddenly hearing the sound of a car engine, He Ying and the other two instinctively looked over, their pupils immediately shrinking.

An SUV was speeding towards us from the national highway.

"Stop the car! Stop the car now!!"

Someone shouted, but it was no use.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the off-road vehicle surged with tens of tons of force, catching the brown bear completely off guard and sending it flying only a few meters.

He was bleeding all over his body, so he could only be described as seriously injured, but he was still trying to get up.

The car slammed on the brakes, its front end deformed, and a figure darted out from under the force of the impact.

"Who the hell is this?!"

He Ying and the other two stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock. Driving a car and nearly killing a demon? Is this how it works?

"Chopping Fist!"

Although his lower body was suspended in mid-air and unable to exert force, Shen Qing used gravity to slash downwards with his right fist.

With a "bang," the brown bear's head exploded like a watermelon.
