Chapter 45: Panic Among All Professions 【strange God’s Power】!
【Gale Hunter】’s first promotion requirement is completed.
Qi Chuan died miserably, lying face up, with only two bloody holes left in his eyes.
“Second Order Professionals still have high mental resilience.” Su Chen rubbed his brow, feeling waves of throbbing pain.
Physical Profession Professionals do not specifically train mental power, but profession promotion also enhances mental resilience.
It is impossible for low-tier mental professions to instantly kill high-tier physical professions.
After confirming he had no vital signs, he turned his gaze to the several thin glass bottles scattered beside his body, originally placed in a metal box but spilled during the previous combat.
“Targeted antidote potion?”
Su Chen picked it up from the ground, looking at the misty light purple liquid inside, with a label stuck on it, two bottles left, and stuffed them all into his storage space.
“Hmm…” He carefully closed the door, released his mental power, and with 【Spiritual Vision】, Su Chen constantly monitored the outside situation.
Iron wires wound around everywhere, thanks to 【One Mind, Two Uses】, he could now adjust more than half of the iron wires at the same time.
Whoosh!
Iron wires straightened one by one, shuttling back and forth in the wall, emitting continuous muffled sounds like rapid drumbeats.
Clang!
The crisp collision sound made Su Chen look toward the left wall, “There really is something…”
With a slight force, he dug out another metal iron box from the wall, thick and exquisite, overall blackish-yellow, with crisscrossing patterns engraved on it, woven into…
Su Chen examined it carefully, trying to identify it, “It seems like… a vertical pupil?”
Click!
The metal box opened automatically, cracking open in a cross-shaped gap in the center, retreating to both sides, with rolling black smoke inside.
“What the heck?”
Su Chen was startled and hurriedly retreated, but the black smoke was faster than he imagined, already wrapping around his body and burrowing into it.
“Delicious… soul…” A voice that seemed real and illusory came to his ear, Su Chen’s eyes became dazed, as if he saw an old man shaped like withered wood.
Head bowed, bald on top, with only a vertical pupil, as if that was his eye, “I shall grant you a blessing, become my most devout follower.”
“What the heck is this?” Azure wind armor swirled around Su Chen, yet it could not block the influx of the black smoke.
The panel suddenly popped up—
【Detected external unknown power, eroding the host’s profession】
Eroding the profession? Su Chen was shocked.
【Void Ripper Warrior detects danger and charges forward…】
【Mystic Tool Master observes from the side…】
【Engineering Apprentice frets anxiously…】
【Gale Hunter joins the battlefield…】
【Space Collector hurries over…】
【Scholar calls for help…】
A series of messages refreshed, Su Chen seeing these guys so proactive for the first time.
【Detected crisis among the professions, taming the external power.】
“You… your body, how can it be like this…”
The illusory voice by his ear suddenly became surprised and uncertain, vaguely, Su Chen seemed to see the withered figure raising its head, but then gradually fading:
“…Your taste, I remember it…”
Plop!
The metal box fell to the ground and closed automatically.
【Taming successful, obtained—Low-tier Strange God Power: Can be used on unappointed professions below Third Order, causing certain peculiar changes.】
His heart pounded, Su Chen’s forehead covered in cold sweat, he had almost been unable to move just now.
Fortunately, he had passed this crisis.
“Strange Gods can erode professions too…” Su Chen murmured lowly, staring again at the so-called 【Low-tier Strange God Power】.
Since it had been tamed by the panel, the hidden dangers inside were probably gone.
After resting for a bit, he looked at the yellow-black metal box on the ground, not daring to touch it rashly for the moment.
“No wonder it’s called a Strange God, indeed strange, which means that killing Jiang He, the Holy Word Stone theft, and these inexplicable events are essentially the Strange God’s covert actions?”
“This thing can definitely prove Qi Chuan has issues, so this murder doesn’t need to be hidden.” Su Chen immediately took out the bracelet from his storage space, opened it, swiped up and down, and found Old Yuan.
Qi Chuan bribed Hu Xiang and sent someone to murder him, he must die, whether he is Zhou Xian’s man or connected to the Strange God.
The difference is only that if not connected to the Strange God, Su Chen would have to clean up himself, but now, he can let others wipe his ass.
“Teacher, I’ve discovered something, please come over as soon as possible.” He spoke vaguely, who knows if South Wind City’s data hub can intercept these conversations.
The signal here is poor, Su Chen had to stick his head to the window to send it, lights already turning on in the floors below.
Old Yuan quickly replied: “…Can’t leave here for now, if it’s not a big deal, let Old Sun go first.”
“It’s a big deal.”
Only after a moment came the reply, “Got it, I’ll hurry over, call Old Sun if you need help.”
Su Chen thought for a moment, then opened another chat window, “Brother Sun, South Wind City edge… come quickly with men.”
………
At the same time, in a certain place in South Wind City, a guy cloaked in a black hood suddenly raised his head, pupils pitch black, face showing uncontrollable shock: “Holy Artifact, disappeared!?”
………
Immediately after, Su Chen searched the room inside and out thoroughly, confirming nothing was missed, just as Sun Fatty arrived with his men.
This old inspector suspected to be a Second Order Professional panted heavily, drenched in sweat as he pushed the door open.
His gaze swept to the corpse on the ground, but he immediately rushed to Su Chen by the window, asking with concern:
“Little Brother, you’re not hurt, right?”
Several Inspector Guards walked in one after another outside the door, all familiar faces, his colleagues, the Seventeenth Patrol Guard.
“Han Da, Lily…” Zhao Xiong pointed left and right, everyone carefully shuttling around the corpse.
“Boss, this person seems to be… Qi Chuan?” Han Da just glanced down and looked up in astonishment.
“Qi Chuan?” Sun Fatty, ears perked, face changed dramatically, full of anxiety: “Aiya, Little Brother, how come your temper is so explosive, 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, hurry and go, hurry and go, we’ll cover the scene…”
Zhao Xiong and the others exchanged subtle glances, as if they had stumbled upon big gossip.
Su Chen smiled as if helpless: “Where can I go, no matter how much you cover, you can’t hide it from my teacher.”
Sun Fatty’s face flickered, his flattery toward Su Chen came from Yuan Chenyang, how could such a thing be concealed.
But he immediately skipped the topic, as if suddenly reacting, and asked in surprise: “This Qi Chuan seems to be a Second Order Professional, right, Little Brother, how did you kill him?”
“Starved for a few days in the Inspection Department, plus some potion…” Su Chen responded casually.
Too vicious.
Sun Fatty’s mouth twitched, but he also noticed Su Chen was calmer than expected, making him mutter inwardly and sense something odd.
Su Chen had already killed the man, no need to call them to clean up, he could have handled it himself.
“Sigh… Lily…” Su Chen suddenly spoke, “Don’t touch that thing.”
Lily stopped her movement, looking at the thing covered by the Shadow-Evading Clothes, shrugged, and turned to check something else.
“…How come this wall looks like it was swept by bullets, full of small holes…” Han Da leaned close to the wall.
“What happened here?” A deep voice came from outside the door, startling Sun Fatty.
How did Chief Inspector Yuan arrive so fast, he had just sent the message.
Zhao Xiong and the others instantly stood straight, throats bobbing, not daring to make a sound.
“This is Qi Chuan?” Yuan Chenyang walked in, frowning at the corpse on the ground, his gaze passing over Sun Fatty to land on Su Chen, and sighed: “Let’s go back, I’ll handle it.”
Su Chen was quite surprised, thinking Old Yuan would demand an explanation or something.
“Teacher, over there.” Su Chen pointed to the spot covered by the Shadow-Evading Clothes.
Yuan Chenyang’s eyes shifted slightly, walked forward, lifted a corner of the Shadow-Evading Clothes, just a fleeting glimpse, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
This is… a Strange Artifact!
