Lord of Enigma

Chapter 58: Special Response Team

Chapter 58: Special Response Team

A lounge inside Moses City police station.

Tang Qi examined his surroundings silently. Although it was a police station, it was always good to be cautious.

At the same time, several thoughts arose in his mind.

Fake magic book!

Totally worthless?

Of course not.

In fact, if Tang Qi aspired to be an "evil spirit summoner" or a "servant of evil gods", that magic book would be highly valuable.

It was actually not old and was printed in batches.

But it did not mean that the spells were all fake. The so-called "fakeness" was actually intentional.

A large number of spells were invalid, but a few effective spells were hidden inside as well.

Whether it was to summon evil spirits or gods, they were capable of doing so.

But no matter which spell it was, there were strict requirements.

For example, the nanny who caused everyone's deaths. She actually had some kind of special bloodline, which was why she could successfully summon the "Evil Spirit of Blood Splatters".

If it was another person who used the same "fake version" of the spell, he could only summon a chilly breeze to blow out a candle.

After seeing these factors, Tang Qi decided to give up.

It was like the treasure map earlier.

The reason was very simple.

Evil aura!

Moreover, one that was very strong.

That treasure map was seemingly ancient and pointed to one of the 12 saints (who were as powerful as gods), the Confessor. However, there was a strange numbering on it.

The seemingly coincidentally fake magic book contained a lot of spells that could summon evil spirits and gods. However, it required a strict set of bloodlines or other conditions to be successful. Also, the summoners would have to pay the price of success with their lives.

This looked like some sort of screening mechanism.

"Some force related to evil gods and spirits is relying on this method to get evil gods and spirits to return to this world again. Moreover, in waves?"

Tang Qi accidentally stumbled onto this possibility and felt the terrifying maliciousness in it.

Tang Qi made it clear that he did not want to get himself involved in this kind of big trouble.

Therefore, he dumped everything to the authorities.

But what surprised Tang Qi was that Stana also vaguely noticed this.

This was good for him; at least he had one less obstacle to worry about.

If Stana's curiosity got the better of her and wanted to learn summoning spells, Tang Qi would then have another headache. Should he give up this apparent "shield"?

That's right, Tang Qi regarded Stana as a shield that would help support his external image.

Whether it was the case in Moses University or today's evil-spirit murder case, the real offensive power was actually Stana. Tang Qi had always played a helpless but knowledgeable young advisor.

Apart from being able to shirk, there seemed to be no benefit?

However, it was only temporary. Without hiding his power first, how could he make a clean sweep to avoid future troubles?

While he was thinking, Tang Qi sat down and activated his skills without hesitation.

Meditation Method!

Hum~ Whoosh.

As usual, the outline of the golden sun appeared and Tang Qi once again entered the dark void. The golden light spots from burning the evil spirit felt like a "stream of golden sand", flowing past the void and slowly melting into the furnace.

That warm, burning feeling once again engulfed Tang Qi.

Half an hour later, Tang Qi woke up.

All the fuel had been ignited, and he hadn't even had time to feel the tingling that usually came after he took his practice to the extreme.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looking at his body.

The skill column was there, and there were now four items on it.

Skills: Golden Furnace Meditation Method, Furnace's Eyes, Chaga Fighting Technique, Secret Pharmaceutical Arts.

For the last skill, Tang Qi had not yet achieved elementary status.

The other three were already at elementary status, except their degrees of progress were different.

Tang Qi immediately focused his attention on the meditation method, which was the source and foundation of his strength.

[Golden Furnace Meditation Method: This is an ancient meditation technique, Stage: Elementary, Progress: 1.5%.]

[Furnace's Eyes: Derived skill, Stage: Elementary, Progress: 0.4%.]

[Chaga Fighting Technique: An ancient primitive fighting technique from the Saha Continent, Stage: Elementary, Progress: 0.3%.]

Each item had a considerable increase compared to before.

This was Tang Qi's progress over this period.

But looking at these numbers that were rising with difficulty, Tang Qi could not help but lament the slow progress.

"No wonder there were so few professionals in the mystical realm. Even the weakest professional would find it hard to progress.

"However, given the background of the Furnace Meditation Method, if I, one day, advanced to being a professional, my power might"

Before the fantasy rose in his mind, Tang Qi shook his head and suppressed it.

If there was no danger, people's minds would become at ease.

His progress was still wavering around one percent, yet he was already thinking of becoming a professional.

Whoosh!

Silently suppressing those thoughts, Tang Qi got up and checked his appearance before pushing open the lounge door.

Swish.

Swish swish.

Tang Qi was now the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone in the office area turned their eyes on Tang Qi.

The rare and mysterious advisor!

Tang Qi easily understood the meaning in everyone's eyes and revealed a helpless smile.

Obviously, the newly formed team members all knew about Tang Qi's identity.

It should be Javier and Nathan who shared the story.

Especially Javier, this extremely outgoing guy with black curly hair. He was in a state of fear when he was on Tulip Street; therefore, he appeared very reticent then. After returning to the police station to rest for a while, he quickly regained his vigor and pulled Nathan over, telling the group about the miraculous experience they just had.

In fact, the words "mystical realm" had not drifted far away from the various countries of Origin Blue Star.

Just that after a century of dilution and censoring, people had begun to forget about it.

But now, Tang Qi's existence evoked the memories in their minds, and he was personally verified by the two of them.

The most incredible thing was that they were about to become a member of the mystical realm.

Although this was not the case, they were not prevented from thinking so.

Whoever established the Moses City police department's "special response team" to deal with mysterious and supernatural incidents had included everyone in the office area. In this way, they were considered as having one foot in the mystical realm.

The reason why it was only one foot was that this response team was established for Tang Qi and Stana.

And it was cruel to say that these two were just considered backup.

If there was a horrifying incident with serious losses and fatalities, the Moses City police force would immediately react, sending its "main force" to deal with it.

Only a case like the murder on Tulip Street an hour ago would be handled by the special response team.

Of course, for others in the group, this was amazing enough.

After seeing Stana's performance, Javier and Nathan, who were out in the field together, showed a strange look.

Stana had always been one of the prominent figures in the police force. In terms of marksmanship, efficiency in solving cases, or other aspects, she had trumped most of the men.

However, that was still within the realm of ordinary people.

At least, there was absolutely no way for ordinary people to "head-shot" a terrible evil spirit with a pistol.

Undoubtedly, it was Tang Qi, this mysterious consultant, who brought this change to Stana.

Tang Qi understood the look in their eyes, that obvious expression.

Desire!

Desire for supernatural power!
