Starry Sky Professional Directory 53
“Hmm? Jing Xia? Is it her?”
Fang Xing was startled by Jing Xia’s seemingly sudden appearance, her hand resting on Gu Yun’s shoulder.
But a sense of relief washed over him.
‘This woman is definitely from the Prevention Bureau, and she never forgets to bring her dog everywhere…’ He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, looking at the bully dog sitting next to Jing Xia.
“Gu Yun is an intern in our Faith Theory Department, she has nothing to do with your Action Department…and she’s an intern assigned by the school, she’s not going to join your department.”
Bai Ziling’s face was cold, as if she had a feud with this Jing Xia.
“I was just asking…after all, I saw flames in her eyes, such a talent is perfect for our Action Department, just the right replacement for some dead weight!”
Jing Xia admitted casually, holding a drink in her hand: “And this Fang classmate, are you interested in interning with us?”
Although she was a noble lady (御姐), her smile resembled a fox.
“Sorry, this is a school-directed internship program!”
Fang Xing quickly shook his head; he was crazy to go to the Action Department.
“That’s a shame.”
Jing Xia waved her hand: “If you change your minds, feel free to come find me.”
“Let’s go.”
Bai Ziling didn’t say much, leading Fang Xing and Gu Yun into the elevator.
When the silvery liquid metal completely enveloped them, Fang Xing couldn’t tell if he was ascending or descending.
“You know that woman?”
Bai Ziling suddenly turned, staring at Fang Xing.
“I often run into her during morning exercises, she seems to live near the school.” Fang Xing told the truth.
“Mm, don’t provoke that woman, she likes to cruelly exploit her subordinates and verbally abuse them…” Bai Ziling sneered: “The number of her team members transferred to logistical support and those receiving treatment at the wellness center is the highest, you understand what that means.”
“Of course!”
Fang Xing quickly nodded.
At some point, the metal wall ahead opened, revealing a large penthouse apartment.
Many members of the Faith Theory Department, wearing name tags, were busy inside.
“I’ll give you a map, your activity area is limited to the green zone…the library, storage room, and observation room are red zones, you’re not allowed to go there.”
Bai Ziling handed over a map, her expression serious: “Your job today is to clean the green zone and manage the water cooler…”
‘Does this even need cleaning?’
Fang Xing looked at the spotless floor, strongly suspecting that the silver metal here had a ‘self-cleaning’ function.
In fact, the entire building might be a metal lifeform!
‘As expected, we’re blatantly here to slack off, aren’t we?’
“Any questions?” Seeming to notice Fang Xing’s gaze, Bai Ling adjusted her glasses.
“How much is our daily wage?” Fang Xing asked.
“Two thousand per hour, welfare bonus calculated separately…” Bai Ziling replied.
“Then I have no problem.”
Fang Xing nodded, went to the water cooler, and sat down heavily.
“Very good.”
A smile appeared on Bai Ziling’s face: “Xiaoyun, you stay here, you can come find me if you need anything…”
After Bai Ziling left, looking at her back, Gu Yun’s expression darkened.
“I thought, no matter how it’s arranged, I’d at least be allowed to get in touch with something…”
Gu Yun sat next to Fang Xing, her eyes slightly unfocused.
Fang Xing knew that she had agreed to this internship largely to experience her father’s work environment, learn more, and then…take revenge!
If she could choose freely, she would definitely join Jing Xia’s Action Department.
Unfortunately…that was impossible!
“Here, have some water.”
Fang Xing didn’t intend to comfort her, he poured a cup of water for Gu Yun and another for himself.
After taking a sip, he felt something was wrong: “There’s some kind of psychotropic drug in this water? No…it’s a different kind of influence, it calms the mind…”
“For members of the Faith Theory Department, mental stability is the most important indicator, it needs to be checked daily…”
Gu Yun seemed to know more, she finished the water in her cup: “For those of us who cultivate A-grade martial arts, this purified water also has some effect, it’s a work benefit…”
‘Mm, but it’s far inferior to Cultivation Pills…’
Fang Xing silently compared them, reaching a conclusion.
…
The sun set in the west.
“Goodbye!”
He left the Prevention Bureau and said goodbye to Gu Yun, preparing to walk home for exercise.
‘The Prevention Bureau is definitely heavily guarded, trying to sneak around and do something is a fool’s dream, it will only expose oneself…’
As for getting some benefits from the Faith Theory Department?
After observing for a day, Fang Xing scoffed at the idea.
The Evil God materials he wanted to see, even suspected Evil God scriptures, were stored in special rooms, waiting for the Faith Theory Department members to examine and review.
For some highly guarded Evil God texts, several researchers needed to apply, then obtain authorization from the director and deputy director before they could read and research them, all research must be conducted in a special protection room, not even a single piece of paper could be taken out.
‘After so many years of operation, the Faith Theory Department is full of surveillance, even their own people have to have their mental state and contamination checked when they go out…how could there be any loopholes for me to exploit? If there are…they’re definitely traps!’
‘At least I’ve seen it, and I know Jing Xia’s identity, and the salary is quite high…Hmm?’
Fang Xing suddenly looked up, only to see the orange-red sky: “Why do I suddenly feel like I’m being watched?”
Thinking about this, he immediately quickened his pace, disappearing at the end of the street.
…
A few minutes later, a figure emerged from the shadows, their voice hoarse: “As expected of a small genius who has already entered the A-grade martial arts, his mental power has begun to undergo a slight qualitative change, we can’t get too close to observe…this martial artist’s intuition is troublesome.”
The person was completely shrouded in a black robe, but the surrounding surveillance cameras inexplicably sparked, as if they had malfunctioned.
Behind the black-robed person were two students.
One was built like a bodybuilder, looking at Fang Xing’s back with a hint of complexity, it was Liu Wei.
The other wasn’t Bai Liany, but Liu Wei recognized her, she was a classmate from Yucai Middle School, with pretty features, named Guo Peipei.
At this moment, Guo Peipei looked at Liu Wei: “I heard this person is your good friend? He’s amazing now, not only is he Xia Long’s teacher’s favorite, but he can even get into the Prevention Bureau.”
“If necessary, I can deal with him.”
Liu Wei lowered his voice.
“Dealing with him is very simple, but it doesn’t benefit us…this Fang Xing is becoming more and more valuable.”
The black-robed person let out a strange laugh: “I hope he will believe in our Lord and become our Lord’s power within the Prevention Bureau.”
“That’s probably difficult…” Liu Wei frowned, normal people wouldn’t want to get involved with a cult.
“Master Envoy, please let me do it!”
Guo Peipei smiled: “My ability is ‘Dream Entry’, I can corrupt him in his dreams, ensuring it’s undetectable…”
“Dream Entry? That might work…”
The black-robed envoy pondered for a moment, and immediately said: “Let you do it, but your ability level is not high, you can’t enter dreams from a distance…getting close is dangerous, I will send two ‘divine generals’ to protect you…”
“Thank you, Master Envoy!”
Guo Peipei’s eyes lit up.
…
Night, all was quiet.
Fang Xing practiced the伏虎桩 (fú hǔ zhuāng) again, played a few games, and ordered takeout for a late-night snack.
After eating his fill, he immediately fell asleep.
His current cultivation was low, he couldn’t replace sleep with meditation or standing exercises, so he still slept soundly every night.
But this night, it seemed different.
Mist and fog.
The entire residential area seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
Within the mist, there was a low hum like countless insects wriggling, rustling, and like the whispers of countless people chanting.
“What’s going on?”
Fang Xing got up, looked out the window, and suddenly froze.
He saw…the entire residential area seemed to be shattered, countless broken walls and ruins suspended in mid-air in defiance of gravity.
In the distance, there seemed to be an unknown being.
It was composed of countless spheres of light, vaguely in the shape of a gate.
But when he looked closely, he felt that it wasn’t a gate, but layers upon layers of dimensions, each colorful sphere of light seemed to carry the ultimate truth of the world and the universe.
Just one glance, and one couldn’t look away.
Fang Xing felt a sharp pain in his head, as if it was about to explode.
Unknown knowledge and information, like countless burning hot irons, were about to pierce his brain…
“This is…an extraterrestrial Evil God? No…wrong, if it were the real thing, I would have died already, I wouldn’t even be able to think…this is a disguise, an imitation!”
The next moment, Fang Xing’s temples bulged, his expression ghostly.
“Even if it’s a ghost god, I will cut it down with a single strike!”
“Slay the Ghost God!”
He made a hand into a sword, and fiercely slashed at the strange light gate.
Ghost God Sword – Slay the Ghost God!
An astonishing sword light shot up into the sky, sweeping across dozens of miles, actually scattering the strange gate…
Countless mists dispersed, and there seemed to be a woman’s scream.
“Ah!”
In the bedroom.
Fang Xing sat up, his right hand grasping the ink-patterned sword.
Outside the window, the night wind was cold, a few night cats were calling in heat, making sounds like a baby crying, the residential area was quiet and peaceful, everything was as usual.
“A dream?”
A hint of suspicion flashed across his face: “Void Gate? Why would I dream of such a thing out of the blue? No…wrong, someone is plotting against me! It’s the cult!”
As for that extraterrestrial Evil God, it was of course just their imagination, not even a projection or aura of the true form.
The reason was simple, even cultists, if their strength is insufficient, upon seeing the true form of the Evil God, they would fall into complete madness and even death!
“Who did I provoke?”
Fang Xing roared in a low voice, feeling very angry.
It was like this in the market, and it was like this on Aquila Star!
Clearly, he was being cautious, he hadn’t done anything, he just wanted to quietly develop, why do people always plot against him?
Then, he seemed to think of something, reached out, and a talisman appeared in his hand, it was a ‘Seeking Qi Talisman’!
“The woman in the dream has left behind an aura, the person should still be nearby…”
Fang Xing gripped the ink-patterned sword, his expression dark…
