Chapter 46: The Bounty Hunters and the Spider Demoness

"Who are you?"

It was Stana who shouted this time.

The tall figure stepped into the office of the dead professor and glared at the unexpected figures in it.

Trespassers!

Anyone could tell that the few guys who were rummaging around in the professor's office at this moment were clearly not police officers or university staff.

This was a scene of the serial murder case. Stana immediately took out the "walkie-talkie" on her body and called for police support without giving time for these people to react.

They stopped what they were doing and tried to stop the female sergeant. However, they were scared by a black police pistol and stayed where they were. Only a young man who seemed to be the leader kept on shouting. Stana then calmed down a little.

They were here to help.

At this moment, Tang Qi, who was behind, had an opportunity to see the appearances of these people.

There were a total of six people, four men and two women.

Their leader, the young blond man, was tall and big, with rough and handsome facial features. He had a head of vibrant hair and was dressed like a cowboy.

The other three men were an old man with messy hair and beard, a strong young man, and a nerd who was as skinny as a bamboo pole.

The two women were slightly more normal. One was a big-chested girl; the other was a sweet-looking brown-haired girl who seemed to come from a good family background.

'A big team!' Tang Qi quietly thought to himself as he looked at the slightly messy office.

This group of people were obviously not police officers. However, they all carried weapons. From their bulging waists, they had a pistol each. There was even a heavy-caliber hunting rifle on the old man, and the big-chested girl was carrying a shotgun.

If it were not for the fact that these people did not have a vicious aura, Tang Qi would have been afraid they were actually bank robbers.

This was probably why Stana was so nervous. After all, she only has a police pistol in her hand.

Fortunately, these people did not seem to want to start a conflict with the police. Although they had a pistol pointed at them, they just kept explaining.

Soon, the other police officers from the school arrived, and that spacious office immediately became crowded.

In the midst of chaos, Tang Qi finally got his wish to meet the police commissioner.

For ordinary cases, the police commissioner was naturally not personally involved.

Even the "skinning case" at Holy Thorns High School did not trouble her to appear.

But this serial murder case at Moses University was clearly different. For the sake of the position she was holding, this shrewd-looking black woman, who was the commissioner of the Moses City Police Department, showed up.

She naturally took over the command from Stana and confiscated the weapons of those people.

It seemed that they would be escorted back to the police station for questioning. At this moment, the young cowboy finally couldn't help but shout directly at the black female commissioner, "Don't misunderstand. We are not murderers. We are just a team of bounty hunters."

"We are here for the reward, and I already know what thing the murderer is."

Everyone responded differently to the cowboy's words.

"Reward?"

That was the black female commissioner.

"Thing?"

That was Stana and Tang Qi.

"What do you mean by reward? Where did the reward come from?"

Seeing the slight pause, that young cowboy quickly explained.

They were actually a team of bounty hunters. They came over to investigate after seeing the reward issued by several directors of Moses University.

She was very dissatisfied with the school offering a reward as it made clear that the so-called school directors did not trust the police.

However, as the police commissioner, this black lady suppressed the urge to send these bounty hunters to prison. She said sternly, "Just now you mentioned that you know who the murderer is?"

The young cowboy immediately corrected the commissioner just as she finished talking. "It is not who. The murderer should be a monster."

Hiss~

As soon as the cowboy youth's voice landed, everyone went quiet.

Most of the police officers looked at that young cowboy and his team as if they were a bunch of lunatics.

But several people, including the female commissioner, changed their expressions.

The return of the Spirit Tide, the reemergence of the mystical realm, the return of supernatural powers, and the strange phenomena of the various mysterious fields

However, for ordinary people who were at the bottom of society, if they had no special opportunity or bad luck, they would be unable to see the other world.

Most of the police officers present belonged to this category.

However, Stana and the female commissioner did not.

Stana, luckily or unluckily, got accidentally or deliberately pulled into this mysterious world by Tang Qi.

The female commissioner, because of her special position, received some guidance from upper management.

Both of them had some understanding of the mystical realm.

However, this situation would not last long. Soon, ordinary people would begin to know of the existence of the mystical realm. After all, the number of supernatural people was actually far lower than these strange phenomena. Once the Spirit Tide reached its peak, these strange phenomena could longer be hidden.

By then, the world would have gone through a tremendous change.

Of course, this was still far away, and what was to be solved now was an extremely difficult murder case.

The female commissioner waved to the police officers to untie those people. At the same time, she dismissed most of the officers at the scene, making the office spacious again.

The black female commissioner's seemingly approachable face became very stern, as she stared at the so-called bounty hunter team in front of her. The young cowboy, who was the leader, was waiting for a chance to explain.

Upon seeing the sudden change in the situation, Stana who was standing behind seemed to want to step forward to say something. However, Tang Qi held onto her and shook his head, signaling that she should not mention him before listening to what that young cowboy had to say.

When he was given the opportunity to explain, the young cowboy lived up to expectations. He also knew people with high status and already had some information on the mystical realm.

Hence, he was able to speak freely. He swiftly took out a thick and worn-out compendium from his backpack.

He supported it with one hand, while quickly flipping through the pages with the other.

At the same time, he spoke quickly.

"We are bounty hunters, and our team only goes for bounties associated with the mystical realm, such as this one. In the beginning, we didn't know what happened here. Therefore, we were not sure whether we could cope.

"Until I saw a picture of the scene. The way the man died fully conforms to the characteristics of a particular monster I know."

Rustle~smack.

As he was talking, the young cowboy slapped on a particular page in the compendium.

Everyone looked at it together. On the page was an extremely ugly and terrifying monster.

It was a spider monster covered with black hair with a fat belly. Its upper body was similar to humans, with very obvious female characteristics. It had a large fierce-looking mouth, a sunken nose, and three eyes that looked like rubies.

Everyone was slightly shocked by the picture as the supporting commentary of the young cowboy continued.

"The Spider Demoness is a special type of ferocious monster who likes the taste of human flesh. However, it does not consume all of it at once but swallows its victim in its stomach, throwing up the half-eaten human body in the middle of the night, spreading fear. They could smell the scent of fear and were particularly attracted to it.

"My ancestors once killed a demoness. Therefore, I know how to do it. That reward will be mine," the handsome and charming young blond man, who was the leader of the bounty hunter team, said determinedly as he pointed at the Spider Demoness on the compendium.
