My profession is too unique.

Chapter 78 Xia Hanshi Comes to the Door

"This matter cannot be delayed for too long. Every day of delay brings new changes. Who knows how powerful that thing is? We must let the higher-ups know about it as soon as possible."

While Su Chen was making plans in his mind, his body had already entered the gravity chamber. He drank two mouthfuls of medicine, got into a fighting stance, and gusts of wind surged around his body, coursing through his limbs and bones.

Like being cut by a dull knife, the muscles twitched, and waves of excruciating pain washed over me.

Su Chen was already used to it, but today, before he had been exercising for long, he suddenly stopped and opened his eyes.

In his mental perception, two individuals with remarkable life force had entered his ten-meter range.

"One on the left and one on the right, sneaking around... but they're only second-tier professionals, not Zhou Xian." Su Chen stopped his attack and quickly pulled out a vial of nutritional supplements and put it in his mouth.

Since arriving here, he has never pushed himself to exhaustion, and his high level of vigilance has played a crucial role today.

“Zhang Hengyu just left…” A cold glint flashed in Su Chen’s eyes, and silently, blue scales appeared in his hand, gradually spreading to his entire body.

At the same time, he opened the bracelet and sent a message to Lao Sun.

"Hmm, they've stopped?" Su Chen held his breath and focused his mind, sensing that the two had stopped in the corridor outside the room.

His gaze fell on the smooth walls of the gravity chamber; the other person was outside the walls.

"They even know the location of the gravity chamber; they're well-prepared." Su Chen stood in the corner, a blue rope silently appearing in his hand.

.........

"Is the security this bad?"

Somewhere outside the supervisory branch, Zhou Xian hid in the shadows. His men had been inside for a while, but the entire supervisory branch remained silent.

He frowned: "Could it be that we overestimated Zhang Hongbo? At a time like this, he's still thinking of getting rid of Su Chen first?"

"If that's the case, things will be much easier. This guy only recently became a [Wind Hunter], so I don't even need to lift a finger. Two against one shouldn't be a problem."

“However…” Zhou Xian’s expression flickered with uncertainty, “Su Chen was able to escape unscathed from the identification process, could it be that he wasn’t the one who attacked me that night?”

This guy has too many secrets; if we can catch him, many things will be explained.

……

"Probably here."

In the corridor, two followers of the Evil God slowly moved along the wall, their bodies shrouded in shadow-avoiding cloaks.

“Once we make our move, it will be difficult for us to hide. We must strive for a decisive victory,” one of them whispered.

“Hmm,” the other person chimed in. “I’ll break down the wall, you attack.”

"According to the information, he should have been exercising and was physically exhausted. He was suddenly attacked and definitely couldn't react in time."

The two discussed the matter, and then they saw the cultist responsible for breaking down the wall take a deep breath, his muscles bulging and turning a strange blood red, with the swollen muscle fibers twisting into bluish-black veins under his skin.

His fist, which had swelled several times its original size, was raised high like a club, then brought to his waist, before being slammed out like a cannonball. It struck the wall with a deafening roar.

boom!
The concrete surface cracked, exposing the twisted steel skeleton inside. Another person immediately rushed in, moving extremely fast.

But upon entering the gravity chamber, his fierce gaze was replaced by astonishment. In the thin smoke and dust, the surroundings were empty; there was no one there.

Where are they...?

Before any questions could even arise, a chill ran through me as a biting wind swept behind me, accompanied by a whistling sound as it cut through the air.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the whip's shadow, which resembled a green snake, and a violent hurricane whipped up dust from all around.

Thunder roared!

Along with it, his head exploded!

.........

"Old Xia... are you really not going in to take a look?"

In a building near the supervisory branch, several sophisticated instruments were set up, with a large screen in the center displaying infrared vision. Xia Hanshi looked up and saw a figure emanating a red glow that almost broke through the screen.

The man in charge of security, however, was now like a quail, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, cautiously asking questions.

He is Lu Sheng, the deputy head of the Exploration Department, who is responsible for Su Chen's safety and is also the protector of the fishing plan.

Minutes earlier, their equipment had detected two unusual signals infiltrating the branch office, presumably indicating that the individuals had concealed their bodies with shadow suits.

Just as they were about to provide support, Xia Hanshi suddenly arrived and stopped them.

"This kind of device captures signals through hotspots, but it can evade them as long as it shields its own heat source. Is this the only thing Nanfeng has?" Xia Hanshi glanced at it.

Lu Sheng explained cautiously, "It looks like that, but after the research department's modifications, it can still capture some mental signals. This is secret information, and with the combination of these two, it's very difficult for anyone to sneak in silently."

"They can even conceal their true intentions?" Xia Hanshi murmured. "Then have you noticed Su Chen's disappearance?"

“The gravity chamber is made of special materials that the equipment cannot penetrate…” he explained. “Su Chen spends almost all his time inside it.”

"...The heat source has disappeared, there's only one left!" the subordinate in charge of monitoring exclaimed in surprise, and Lu Sheng's expression changed slightly.

"Wow, that's fast... It's only been a short time since I became a second-tier professional," Xia Hanshi murmured.

.........

"Liu Cheng... your shift has changed, you should go back to sleep."

In the branch office lobby, the patrol guard who had come for his shift yawned while holding a cup of coffee and spoke to the short-haired woman who was already sleepy.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Liu Cheng was already exhausted, but she perked up a bit upon hearing this.

Before she could even get off her seat, a loud bang came from above!
Like a thunderclap, it immediately startled the guards in the hall.

“What, what’s going on!?”

"It seems to be upstairs!"

"..."

After a moment of panic, everyone quickly came to their senses. Some people quickly found cover, while others had already turned on their communication terminals.

boom!
Another muffled thud, followed by a crash. To everyone's stunned gaze, cracks in the ceiling spread outwards like a spider web, the muffled thuds of falling concrete slabs mixed with the twisting, mournful cries of steel bars.

The buried wiring emitted crackling electrical sparks.

A figure fell down, raising a cloud of dust.

Everyone was startled, their throats bobbing. Liu Cheng cautiously looked up and, through the broken ceiling, could see a figure standing at its edge, its upper body covered in blue scales.

The scales refracted a cold light pattern, and a dark blue energy arc seeped out from between each scale, moving along the muscle lines like a living thing.

Holding a long whip wreathed in azure lightning, he looked down at the scene below, his eyes also crackling with azure lightning.

“Section Chief Su…” Liu Cheng hesitated, then exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you." Su Chen suppressed his murderous aura and smiled gently. "I was attacked suddenly and lost control of my strength."

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Liu Cheng hurriedly said. This second-generation dragon was rarely seen, and she could only be bumped into once or twice in the cafeteria. He was always very friendly.

I didn't expect there would be another side like that.

"Just follow the procedures." Su Chen nodded and turned to leave. "Someone should be coming to take over soon."

After Su Chen disappeared, everyone reacted and crowded around to look at the corpse on the ground. It was lying face down with a huge gash on its back that had ripped its spine apart. The edges of the wound were charred, but no blood was coming out.

"My goodness, that's incredible..." Someone nearby swallowed hard.

"Holy crap, this is going to be a big problem. This guy is the minister's student. Who would dare to assassinate him?"
