I’m a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?! - Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: Chapter 200: Deputy Director of the Night’s Watch! Assassination in the Elevator!

Chapter 264: Chapter 200: Deputy Director of the Night’s Watch! Assassination in the Elevator!

“What?”

Zhao Wufeng widened his eyes, “Zheng Cheng, what did you do to get so many Merit Values?”

“I’ve been sweating and working so hard, but my Merit Values are not even half of yours!”

“Previously, the most Merit among our new recruits was Zhou Xinyu, and it was barely three hundred more than mine. It looks like he’ll have to give up his seat now!”

Zheng Cheng didn’t want to dampen his spirit. If he knew that he had also spent two thousand Merit Values to exchange for a skill book, who knows how he would react.

“That’s not right.” Zhao Wufeng said suddenly, “How did you get assigned to the Special Occupation Department? The minimum rank required to be in that department is at least the yellow tier…”

Zheng Cheng shrugged, “I have no idea.”

Zhao Wufeng asked again, “Uncle Kun, what about them?”

“Which department were Yao Zhixue and Rookie assigned to?”

“Let me see.” Zhao Kun clicked a few times, “They are also in the Special Occupation Department and even in the same team.”

“Who is the team leader?”

“Huh… it’s Yunxiao!”

“Sister Yunxiao!”

Zhao Wufeng had a sudden realization, “That makes sense! Sister Yunxiao was supposed to return soon, and with her skills and merit, it makes sense for her to form a small team in the Special Occupation Department. I never thought she would choose the three of you…”

“Yunxiao is coming back?” Zheng Cheng perked up, “When?”

Zhao Wufeng eyed him warily, “Zheng Cheng, what are you up to? Are you close with my cousin?”

“Of course we are.”

Zheng Cheng winked, “She was our team leader in Chang’an City, and she took good care of us.”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

“I have a feeling you are lying to me.”

“How could I? Ask them if you don’t believe me!”

Yao Zhixue gave him a side glance, and Rookie had a strange expression.

Zhao Kun said, “By the way, there’s a comment from Yunxiao in your files.”

“It says to let you act first. The headquarters can issue tasks to you, and you can decide whether to accept.”

“She will return to Beijing to report her work in about five months and join the Nightwatch Main Office.”

“Five months, huh…”

Zheng Cheng nodded, “Speaking of, can I visit the Special Occupation Department?”

“Well…”

Zhao Wufeng shook his head, “Probably not. The Special Occupation Department is a very special division, with only two tasks.”

“First, it’s specifically against the Fallen Ones.”

“Any proven traces and affairs of the Fallen Ones in Beijing, all will be transferred to their division for resolution.”

“Second, oversight duty.”

“They also have the task of monitoring the entire Nightwatch. It wields much power hence, the division is very special, situated on the third basement floor of the entire building.”

“Without the identity proof of an internal team leader, or the order from headquarters, ordinary Nightwatch personnel can’t enter.”

“Monitoring the Nightwatch?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flickered, “The Imperial Guards?”

“It’s similar to that perception…”

Zhao Kun continued, “What Wufeng said is correct. Although the three of you have already joined the Special Occupation Department, without Yunxiao’s lead, we can’t enter.”

“Well, let me make a call first, to see if someone can come to pick you up.”

He picked up the phone and quickly contacted the other departments.

Soon, he hung up the phone.

“Wait a few minutes, someone will come to pick you up.”

Zhao Wufeng was surprised, “They’re able to go?”

“Yes.” Zhao Kun said in confusion, “Their files and records are already archived in the Special Occupation Department, they’re definitely allowed in.”

Zhao Wufeng shook his head helplessly, It’s true that comparison could really kill!

Five or six minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a single ponytail who overflowed with an artistic aura entered.

He appeared to be around forty, weathered by time, with somewhat melancholic eyes.

He was wearing a black robe with golden threads woven into it, looking much like a literature professor.

Upon seeing the man, Zhao Kun jumped, subconsciously standing up, “Director Wu, why are you here personally….”

The visitor waved his hand to indicate that Zhao Kun should not be nervous.

His gaze lingered on Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, and Cai Ji before opening his mouth: “You are the new members recommended by Yunxiao, right? My name is Wu Fuqing, I am here to assist you.”

“Hello, Senior Wu.”

They had all seen Zhao Kun’s reaction. This Wu Fuqing was undoubtedly a big shot among the Night Watchmen.

The three of them nodded in acknowledgment, greeting Wu Fuqing.

“Old Zhao, I’ll take these three with me. The follow-up paperwork is on you.”

“Y-Yes!”

Wu Fuqing nodded and gestured for the three to follow him out of the room.

Watching the backs of the three departing figures, Zhao Wufeng’s eyes were filled with envy.

Zhao Kun, however, collapsed into a chair, sweating profusely.

Zhao Wufeng curiously asked, “Uncle Kun, what’s wrong? Who is that man?”

“Wu Fuqing, huh, haven’t you heard of him?”

“Wu Fuqing…” Zhao Wufeng thought carefully, “The mad Wu! It’s him! Why did he come in person!”

Zhao Kun bitterly laughed, “How would I know? He’s the head of the Special Forces department of the Night Watchmen and also one of the deputy directors of our entire Night Watchman organization…”

Zhao Wufeng’s eyes flashed, “Uncle Kun, could it be related to that rumor?”

“That rumor…” Zhao Kun slouched in the chair and murmured, “It has nothing to do with us. Stay away from him!”

“Alright, I got it!”

The three of them followed Wu Fuqing out. Wu Fuqing remained silent, guiding them to a corner elevator.

“These five elevators are reserved for our special department. There are no surveillance or recording devices inside, so we can communicate safely.”

The three of them glanced at each other, brimming with curiosity.

At the headquarters of the Night Watchmen … was it getting this strict?

Once inside the elevator, Zheng Cheng realized that this elevator was a little different from the others.

It was completely black, with spots of starlight making it feel like standing in an endless night.

The elevator moved downwards, but they hardly felt any movement – it was as if they were standing on flat ground.

“This is Obsidian Stone, which has the effect of blocking spiritual forces.”

Wu Fuqing explained, “Any probing, detective, or monitoring ability won’t work here.”

The three of them nodded, and Zheng Cheng subconsciously used the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique.

As expected, the technique spread only about ten meters before stopping, as though being obstructed by something.

However, in the next moment, his face abruptly changed, before quickly returning to normal.

With his back to the trio, Wu Fuqing said, “You must be Zheng Cheng. Yunxiao highly recommended you to me.”

Zheng Cheng modestly replied, “It’s just that Sister Yunxiao thinks highly of me.”

He discretely moved closer to Yao Zhixue, his right hand swiftly tracing something on her back.

Yao Zhixue’s expression subtly changed.

“She said you have a skill that can detect the Fallen Ones around you, and you’ve helped the Night Watchmen of Chang’an City eliminate many of the Fallen, right?”

Wu Fuqing asked, “Can you try to detect anything now?”

Zheng Cheng hesitated, “Isn’t Obsidian Stone able to block spiritual detection skills? Even if I use it…”

“Didn’t you already use it just now?”

Zheng Cheng’s face turned pale, and he immediately swung a punch to Wu Fuqing’s back.

In that instant, his punch compressed the air within the elevator, causing a brief sonic boom.

This punch was Zheng Cheng’s full force!

“Attack!”

“Boom!!!”
