"By the way, there's one more thing."

Qu Zhe extinguished his cigarette butt.

Suddenly remembered something.

"I remember you haven't filled all your reserve member slots yet, have you?"

"No."

Fang Qingyu shook his head.

Qi Hao and Qin Hui each occupy one, leaving three more.

"Then you'd better find someone who understands dissection."

Qu Zhe imparted all the experience he knew.

"Don't underestimate this thing."

"You're also aware of the types and numbers of Life Ghosts. Not many people can tell if there's anything valuable on a Life Ghost's corpse."

Fang Qingyu listened and nodded.

If what Qu Zhe said were true, then being able to dissect is indeed important.

If some precious materials are simply thrown away.

It would be heartbreaking.

Also, when splitting a body, which half to divide is crucial.

This requires a lot of theoretical knowledge and practical operation.

To be trained in it.

But Fang Qingyu suddenly thought of something and pointed to the force field.

"Brother Qu, do you have such a person?"

Qu Zhe nodded: "Yes, the one wearing stockings just now."

"Oh..."

Fang Qingyu listened, deep in thought.

This seems, should, might be considered a profession too?

So he turned his head to ask Qu Zhe.

"Can I go in and take a look?"

"Go ahead."

Qu Zhe waved his hand indifferently.

It's just a Life Ghost example, it's not like slaughtering pigs, at most it's about understanding what's valuable on this Life Ghost.

Fang Qingyu walked back into the force field.

Initially, there was no feeling.

Now, a pungent smell of burning rotten meat mixed with blood reek surged to the Celestial Spirit.

Hiss...

Fang Qingyu frowned slightly as he walked over.

The woman in stockings was kneeling by the carcass, entirely unconcerned that the hem of her black leather jacket was already soaked with purple pus.

"Buzz——"

She stabbed a small knife into one of the necks.

With a sudden three-circle twist, the entire spine was extracted intact like unraveling a nine-ring puzzle, bringing out dozens of attached nerves from the decayed meat.

As the spine was extracted.

It continued to wriggle madly on the iron plate, the end bursting with blood-red tendrils.

The woman immediately picked up a liquid nitrogen spray gun, and the white mist instantly froze it.

"Brother Yu."

Upon noticing Fang Qingyu behind her, she quickly turned around to greet him.

"Do you mind if I observe your disassembly process?"

Fang Qingyu pointed to the carcass.

The woman immediately agreed, though she looked hesitant, "I don't mind, just this process...."

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Fang Qingyu had already been standing and watching for a while.

It is indeed very gory...

However, there was no physiological reaction.

In the current secondary profession.

Only the Divine Management Bureau's reserve member is an advanced profession, closely related to daily life. During Divine Management Bureau missions, you can gain professional skill experience.

Quite pleasant.

If I could acquire one more profession like this.

It would be more efficient in future Life Ghost hunting operations.

The woman also noticed Fang Qingyu's thoughts.

During the disassembly process, she occasionally explained a sentence, which was very considerate.

Fang Qingyu also learned the woman's name.

Yun Jiaojiao.

A former forensic doctor at Qingjian City's police department.

Having some talent in Martial Arts, she became a reserve member in her twenties.

Started running all over the place.

Encountering all sorts of Sinful Embryo Level Life Ghosts.

"Thank you."

After fully dissecting the Nucleus of the Pus Abyss, Fang Qingyu smiled and extended his hand to her.

Unexpectedly, the first hunt of a Sinful Embryo Level Life Ghost.

Also came with a pleasant surprise.

[Detecting Executioner of Life Ghosts profession, activating (1/100)]

Although not much was learned.

But as long as the panel starts appearing with the activation panel, it's only a matter of time.

The next thing to do.

Is to read more books related to Life Ghosts and try to accumulate disassembly experience.

Meanwhile.

On the Divine Management Bureau's panel.

The progress also began to surge!

[Profession: Divine Management Bureau Reserve Member Lv.1 (57/100)]

[Unique Skill: Eyes of True Sight Lv.1 (88/100)]

The profession experience jumped more than thirty points.

At most, killing two more Sinful Embryo Level Life Ghosts will result in a level up.

Come to think of it, this profession indeed was paused for quite a while before.

But now it's good.

The Divine Management Bureau and Executioner professions are underway together.

During the hunt for Life Ghosts.

It's possible to enjoy the rewards from leveling up both professions.

The motivation is all there.

Following Qu Zhe back to the Divine Management Bureau, Fang Qingyu returned to the dormitory, took his book to the 28th floor, and politely declined Qu Zhe's request to practice.

Started sitting in the booth reading.

He was only reminded by Qu Zhe when his shift ended.

Was it already six in the afternoon?

Fang Qingyu stood up and stretched lazily.

He suddenly found the study of Life Ghosts to be quite interesting.

Various life forms survive in extraordinarily bizarre ways.

Wanting to dissect them.

Besides technique, understanding their body structures is necessary.

This has great utility in usual Life Ghost hunting.

Of course...

The greatest credit goes to the books written by the Divine Management Bureau being detailed enough.

This is the crystallization of countless Divine Management Bureau operatives combined.

"You've trained today, do you want to have some fun tonight?"

Qu Zhe took the radio off his ear, a sly grin on his lips.

"...you go ahead, I've got plans tonight."

Fang Qingyu listened, his mouth twitching, and outright refused.

"Don't be so uptight, we people are always fighting and killing, and we've got more money than we can spend. Who knows when we'll die, so we should enjoy life while we can."

Qu Zhe draped an arm over Fang Qingyu's shoulder.

But just as he did so...

Duan Ling pulled him off from behind.

With a dark face, dragging him into the room at the back.

"I was talking about going to the amusement park, the kiddie rides!! Stop, stop hitting!!"

Qu Zhe hurriedly struggled fiercely on the ground, but was obviously no match for Duan Ling.

Fang Qingyu shook his head with a smile.

Taking advantage of this moment.

He sneaked back to the dormitory.

Changed his clothes, and went out for a meal.

At the same time, he picked up his phone.

Opened the Divine Management Bureau APP.

The account was already automatically registered.

First, he opened the 'My' option.

It recorded Fang Qingyu's rank and merit points, along with some details.

Candlelight, 243 merit points.

Reward for killing Zeng Jing of the Pantheon: 50 points, one Sinful Embryo Level Life Ghost: 10 points.

Plus the previous 183 points.

Just right.

But still a bit far from 800 point merit.

Next to it was the forum option.

He clicked into it.

Right at the top was a bright red pinned post.

"Life Ghost Nest detected in Songdu City!! Suspected Molting Level Life Ghost sighted!!!"

Songdu...

Fang Qingyu frowned in thought.

If he remembered correctly, Songdu was a city a few cities over,

only about four to five hundred kilometers away.

But this Life Ghost Nest, what exactly is it?

Fang Qingyu curiously backed out and searched for keywords on the forum.

He quickly found some explanatory posts.

"A Life Ghost Nest usually refers to a group of Life Ghosts emerging from underground, undetected and exterminated, surviving slowly beneath the surface and reproducing..."

With this concept understood, Fang Qingyu returned to the pinned post to read further.

The post was made a week ago.

At 4:20 AM.

A monitoring satellite detected abnormal crustal vibrations at an abandoned chemical plant on the western outskirts of Songdu City.

When ground troops arrived, they found a gigantic pit approximately 50 meters in diameter. Inside the pit, a large number of life signs were detected.

Currently, three Breakthrough Level combat squads are missing.

The nest threat level is temporarily classified as [Molting Level], asking Tier Three or higher First Realm operatives from nearby cities to swiftly assist!!

Below were several photographs.

The edge of the first photo was a twisted, mangled steel fence, while the inside of the pit appeared like it had been gnawed by a giant beast, with its bottom entirely obscured by swirling purple mist.

Zooming into the photo details.

Occasionally, pale limb silhouettes flashed through the mist, and a scarlet membrane resembling blood vessels clung to the rock walls.

In the second photo.

The image was blurred due to violent shaking, but five hunched-over, crawling humanoid figures could still be distinguished.

Their skin appeared decayed and gray-green.

Spines jutted out like centipede segments, and finger ends had evolved into bony scythes.

The one at the forefront was gnawing on animal remains.

On its rotting face, four eyeballs spun madly at different paces.

And the final one...

A sanity-consuming photo.

Darkness cloaked the entire image like thick tar.

Except in the center, two enormous eyes floated like blood moons.

Each iris was a slender vertical pupil, with spider-web-like blood vessels exploded at the edges, the iris' patterns like some kind of symbol.

Just looking at it for a while made one very uncomfortable.

But it wasn't actually that bloody.

Fang Qingyu frowned, scrolling down.

Knife Mantis: "Damn! It really is Molting Level! The sense of oppression is exactly the same as that 'Baboon' I once saw in Dian Nan!"

Logistics Department Xiao Chen: "@All members... urgently recruiting Executioners of Life Ghosts skilled in underground combat! Dissection allowance tripled!!!"

Demon Suppression Department Xuan Chengzi: "The mucus patterns on the pit rock walls resemble Corpse Seed Life Ghost? Recommend Fire Element Divine Cultists or Yang Ability Martial Artists to provide support..."

The comments section was collectively united beyond expectation.

Everyone was contemplating how to provide support.

There were no keyboard warriors, which greatly reassured Fang Qingyu.

However, the contents of this post were a bit distant for him.

Molting Level Life Ghost...

Equivalent to a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

To provide support, at least Profound Tier Martial Artists were necessary.

Currently, he was only Breaking Mortality.

With Micro still between him and Profound.

At most, he could only look; after closing it, Fang Qingyu scanned a string of trading posts below.

Just as Qu Zhe mentioned.

Indeed, many people were seeking various Life Ghost materials above.

Moreover... after a glance around.

Life Pearls, Qi Blood Crystals, Meditation Flowers, were the hard currency of trade.

There were hardly any people using money.

It seemed activating a new profession.

Was an urgent need.

After finishing his meal, Fang Qingyu contacted Qin Hui and Qi Hao.

Starting tomorrow.

The two of them would formally start taking on missions with him.

...

Night.

Rui Mansion, the estate.

The place where Zeng Jing last painted.

Five withered wooden heads simultaneously turned toward the night sky.

Their wrinkled necks twisted eerily beneath their black robes.

The second head on the left suddenly cracked its dry lips open: "Breaking Mortality Martial Artist?" The one in the middle, its eyesockets filled with flickering ghostly fire, full of black hair: "Slaying a Pilgrim?"

"It's true, and he isn't possessed by a God, everyone at the bureau knows this, I can guarantee it!!!"

The man in the suit, trembling on the grass, suddenly lifted his head, cold sweat soaking his clothes down his spine.

The shadow finished listening...

Stared at the night sky, pondering for a long time.

The man kneeling on the ground dared not lift his head, only waiting in silence.

Until a voice gradually faded along with the shadow.

"I don't care what means you use."

"Bring him to me."
