My profession is too unique.

Chapter 70 identifies Su Chen as a follower of the Ghost God!

The rhomboid facets shimmered with a faint light; the object in my hand was only as thick as a thumb.

[Black Tuo Prism - Consumable: An item that can only be used by Black Tuo followers.]

Su Chen estimated it was a one-time killing method.

"Before Yu Xuan died, he seemed to want to use this thing to fight back, so its power must be considerable."

He could put it into his storage space; he could disguise himself as a follower of the Black Buddha and probably use it too. "It's at least a trump card."

He took out the Fog Fiend Potion from the storage space and poured it into his mouth. After checking carefully, he found that there were not many left, only three bottles.

With the boost from the [Sage], his talent improved in every aspect, including potion absorption efficiency; he could now consume two doses of Mist Fiend potion a day.

"The Spiritual Light Potion is useless now. I need a Tier 2 Meditation Potion and an E-level Meditation Technique..." Su Chen felt a headache just thinking about it. He could only wait for Old Sun to come and ask him again.

……

"Yu Xuan didn't go back?"

In what appeared to be an ordinary house, Zhou Xian's expression was clearly off, grim: "Today's ambush was obviously not specifically targeted, and he still has the [Black Eye] I just gave him; he should have been able to escape."

The priest glanced at him, his voice deep and resonant, "Could this be a ruse?"

"A self-inflicted injury? Him?" Zhou Xian paused for a moment, then realized that the priest suspected him of betraying the priest. He immediately roared, "Have you ever seen anyone use a self-inflicted injury to kill their own son?!"

"It was just a casual remark, what's the rush?" the priest said calmly.

Zhou Xian's face flushed red, and the veins in his neck throbbed. "It must be Su Chen!"

“Pan Yu has disappeared, Yu Xuan has disappeared, and everyone who was watching him has vanished without a trace. This is no coincidence!”

"He seems completely unconcerned." The priest's expression was dark and unreadable. "Yu Xuan has clearly confirmed that he is a follower of the Demon God, so where does his confidence come from?"

"Why don't you give him a try?" Zhou Xian's heart stirred slightly.

The priest's dark pupils stared at him. "Xia Hanshi is still here. I don't want him to find out before the holy statue arrives."

"Go outside the city now and I guarantee there won't be any problems with the transport of the holy image."

"As for Su Chen, give him some trouble, so that he and the evil god behind him don't pay attention to us."

Zhou Xian stared into those abyss-like eyes, then involuntarily looked away and nodded, saying, "I understand."

……

"Recently, our Ministry of Supervision has been quite swift in its actions."

The next morning, Su Chen overheard people talking in the cafeteria.

"A while ago, we busted a hideout of the Ghost God Cult, and last night there was another big operation. I heard we arrested quite a few people."

"Now the other two departments know how powerful we are. Some time ago, the minister went on a big investigation but didn't get any clues. Instead, he was ridiculed by them."

"Although the city is not as dangerous as the area outside the city, many things are hidden beneath the surface. These two ambushes are probably the follow-up to the minister's investigation some time ago."

Many people in the supervisory branch felt proud and were very enthusiastic.

"I heard that Zhou Xian was found last night, but he got away..." Hou Xu, who was sitting next to him, sighed as he mentioned the matter, "What a pity, otherwise it would have been a great achievement."

Su Chen listened without saying a word until finally clinking bowls with Zhang Hengyu's, saying, "I wish you a successful promotion."

He drank the broth in his bowl in one gulp. Zhang Hengyu was stunned for a moment, then finished his drink as well, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Zhang Hengyu is about to advance to the second-tier professional level, and the estimated time is two months faster than expected.

It was also because of the stimulation from Su Chen during this period that I never stopped training. Although the process was very boring, when it came time to reap the rewards, I had a different kind of feeling.

"The talisman has run away." Su Chen sighed inwardly, there was nothing he could do about it.

According to Zhang Hengyu, his career advancement requires special assistance from others.

After seeing Zhang Hengyu off, Su Chen didn't rush to exercise. Sure enough, in the afternoon, Fatty Sun came to find him in a hurry.

"Brother, another great achievement!" Fatty Sun, as usual, carried the metal box. Although excited, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and lowered his voice:

"Brother, there are no outsiders here. Tell me honestly, what exactly happened this time?"

"What's going on?" Su Chen still feigned ignorance: "It's just a rumor, who knows if it's true?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Fatty Sun didn't press him. Anyway, it was all about killing the followers of the evil god, so it was all a merit.

"Sigh, what a pity..." He said with 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 asked in surprise, "What exactly happened?"

“It’s a hideout. Some of the higher-ups at that factory are followers of the Ghost God, and the lower-ups are just doing things for money.” Fatty Sun shook his head. “However, during the screening last night, we found a charred corpse not far from the encirclement.”

"We don't know exactly who it is yet; the ministry is conducting genetic analysis."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. You need to come back with me this afternoon. The city lord is looking for you," Fatty Sun said last.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had intended to ask about the second-tier meditation potion, but he held back for the moment and asked in surprise, "Why?"

"I don't know." Fatty Sun didn't seem to care: "You're so close to his son, it can't be a bad thing."

"Aren't you suggesting we transfer you back to be promoted to section chief? That's a bit too fast, isn't it?"

He muttered to himself, still dreaming of good things.

Su Chen frowned. The two chatted for a while longer. Su Chen greeted Hou Xu and then followed Fatty Sun in a hovercar back to headquarters.

Old Sun was in high spirits after making a series of merits, while Su Chen sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window and occasionally giving perfunctory replies.

Upon arriving at the Ministry of Supervision, I went straight to the top-floor office.

Zhang Hongbo was already waiting for him there, just like when Su Chen first met him, with a gentle smile on his face, inviting him to sit down.

"Hengyu is about to advance to a second-tier professional, faster than I expected, and it's all thanks to you." Zhang Hongbo said with emotion.

“We inspire each other,” Su Chen replied in a standard and conventional manner.

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

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

The trouble with dealing with this kind of old bastard is that you can't tell which of his words are genuine sentiments and which are tests.

"When you were a refugee, did you encounter anything?" Zhang Hongbo's eyes sharpened, but he added, "I'm not trying to reopen old wounds, I'm just asking how the people below are doing."

“This can’t even be considered a scar.” Su Chen shook his head and pondered, “The city lord’s orders should have been implemented about 60-70%. Although we’re not getting enough to eat, we can’t be said to be starving.”

"Sixty or seventy percent is not bad," Zhang Hongbo said helplessly. "Human hearts are unpredictable."

Su Chen really didn't want to waste any more time chatting with him, so he simply asked, "City Lord, why did you seek me out?"

"No rush, wait for two people." Zhang Hongbo gestured for him to be patient.

Su Chen remained silent, and the two fell silent. After waiting for five or six minutes, two more people arrived.

A cold, white-haired man and a quiet, older sister.

"Let me introduce you. This is Yang Yan, a special envoy from Yingfeng, and Gu Bing." Zhang Hongbo stood up and gestured.

"Special Envoy Yang, Special Envoy Gu," Su Chen greeted them.

Yang Yan looked Su Chen up and down, nodded secretly, and remained calm and composed.

"What a handsome young man," Gu Bing pushed up her glasses and looked him up and down.

"Why did you call us here so urgently?" Yang Yan asked indifferently.

"They don't know either?" Su Chen wondered to himself.

Zhang Hongbo glanced at him and then sighed, "It's like this, someone reported that Su Chen is a follower of the Ghost God."

Sure enough, they acted quickly. It was also a report. Is it an example of using their own methods against them?
Su Chen understood immediately, but feigned surprise and exclaimed, "What!?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan frowned and looked at Zhang Hongbo with disgust.

Last time he used Su Chen as bait, his argument was quite reasonable and well-founded, and although he didn't get any results, he didn't take it to heart.

But this time the methods were a bit too crude, and just like last time, in order to share Yuan Chenyang's firepower, they were also dragged into it.

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

"I didn't expect that Lord Zhang, with his many duties, would still have time to deal with these reports." She said indifferently.

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

But when someone started a group, he immediately followed suit, angrily saying, "Lord City Lord, do you have to weigh these baseless accusations?"

"If I go back and casually write a letter to report you, Zhang Hengyu, or Zhang Yunqing, will you interrogate me as well?"
