Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Swamp (2nd Update)
Despite lacking a robust body and combat skills, Sally’s deterrent power was undeniably terrifying. Sitting at ho, she could cast a curse on soone from afar and just wait for it to take effect.
Becoming her enemy would undoubtedly be a headache.
This thod was sowhat similar to that of a “witch”; perhaps that was why the Gypsy Witch Leader took an interest in Sally initially.
If Sally could truly integrate her secondary personality, a suprely powerful witch would almost certainly be born.
But for now, everything remained unknown.
After receiving Tang Qi’s explanation, Sally sowhat understood; her nature was unusual, far from being too naive or foolish. Linking the two abilities she had acquired with her lifelong experiences, Sally imdiately had a bad premonition.
Thinking back, her mother’s peculiar teaching thods and the glasses she always wore…
Tang Qi seed to have insight into Sally’s thoughts at the mont, slowly nodding his head, affirming her speculation.
sser City was in a “turbulent period,” and the Witch’s alternate personality had sensed the crisis, thus sharing its power with the main personality. If the primary personality remained oblivious and could not reasonably use these two terrifying powers, trouble could easily arise.
One reason the Witch’s alternate personality did so was due to its distrust of Tang Qi.
The contract they signed was a typical unequal treaty.
Tang Qi had taken great advantage of it.
He had no obligations to fulfill, yet he reaped the benefits.
Still, Tang Qi was planning to wrap things up for the Witch’s alternate personality, and at the sa ti, he made a new decision.
Seeing Sally in a state of panic, Tang Qi smiled faintly, gently raising a hand in front of her.
Buzz!
The lting Furnace Power surged out unexpectedly.
Tang Qi’s fair palm was imdiately wrapped in a layer of golden Light Flas.
Even under the sunlight, its dazzling, warm glow could not be obscured.
“What is this…?”
Sally suddenly looked up, shock evident behind her thick black-frad glasses.
Despite being able to guess from the beginning that Tang Qi was no ordinary person—after all, no ordinary high school student could quickly kill three hooligans—
the scene before her was still enough to shock.
When Tang Qi looked at her with a smile and said: “Don’t worry, you are not a monster, you have just stepped into another world, starting today.”
Tang Qi did not utter overly clichéd lines afterward, nor did he do anything excessive.
He rely handed Sally a tal business card, engraved with a pattern.
The Sun!
A golden sun, resembling a furnace!
The tal piece was a Curios, obtained from the Charming Heart, capable of one-way ssage transmission. Although its function was very simple, it could still play so wonderful roles at tis.
He then made a promise with Sally, that he would intermittently, through that tal piece, provide her with guidance.
The content would be various basic, simple Mysticism knowledge.
Tang Qi’s actions were not out of coveting Sally’s powers, nor did he have any sches.
Besides helping his friend, Tang Qi rely had this thought spontaneously and sowed a seed. As for how this “seed” would take root and grow, that would depend on destiny.
After bidding farewell to Sally, Tang Qi did not imdiately return to the small building.
Instead, quite unusually, like a real high school student, he experienced various classes, enduring what could be called a boring day.
Throughout the day, the lodramatic scene Tang Qi had been waiting for never occurred.
The group, which had evolved into Special Polluters, effortlessly once again beca the most notable figures on campus. However, curiously, they did not cause trouble for Tang Qi or Sally.
There could be so explanations for this, such as the second generations evolving and no longer harboring past grievances.
Or perhaps, it was due to the benefit of Sally’s “Lucky Body” ability.
There’s another strong possibility: the second generations, aware of Tang Qi’s identity, did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Tang Qi pondered the first two possibilities and quickly dismissed them.
Only the third possibility seed most likely.
“Although I have let Stanna take all the lilight, anyone with a discernible mind can notice my presence as a special advisor, and although they might not think I possess great strength, at least notifying the police departnt and Hall and others should be no problem.”
“That group of second generations clearly ca back to the campus with so kind of mission, and they even deliberately used unknown Curios to intervene and counteract Pollution in order to be immune to [Evil Detection].”
“Knowing my identity and deliberately avoiding provoking
is the most likely possibility.”
As he casually contemplated, Tang Qi wandered back to the mansion, not planning to imdiately report the situation here to the police departnt or Hall.
He decided to observe first, to see what those strange second generations really wanted to do, before deciding how to handle them.
With his mind made up, Tang Qi imdiately returned to himself.
All other plans were just efforts; what truly mattered was his own strength.
Tang Qi decided tonight, to continue his long overdue hunting activity.
Thanks to the unexpected gains from underground, Tang Qi’s ditation thod jumped to twenty-eight percent, coming extrely close to the next gift from the Master of the Crucible.
According to Tang Qi’s original estimation, this was much earlier than expected.
With such a stroke of luck, Tang Qi naturally intended to strike while the iron was hot.
The “unknown existence” in the depth seed to be on the sa level as the Master of the Crucible, and Tang Qi thought it would be difficult, if not impossible, to provoke it at the mont or in the future. However, he was in need of Fuel for his other curios, and other Resentful Souls.
With such thoughts in mind, Tang Qi quickly prepared his dinner, planning to leave after eating.
However, just before he was about to leave, he received a call from Stanna.
The conflict was escalating.
This ti, the retaliation ca from Hastu Club, and another old family of sser City was annihilated.
Although that family’s status and fa were not as significant as the Kerry family, they were also part of the llon Alliance, which undoubtedly completely infuriated the llon Family.
Hall was also enraged, known for his volatile temper.
According to Stanna, Hall was preparing to contact Sith and was planning to confront Mayor Ross directly, planning to beat him up first.
The reason for Hall’s fury was probably that the retaliation had affected civilians.
During the annihilation, there were so witnesses, and the Polluters from Hastu Club killed all witnesses as well.
This undoubtedly crossed Hall’s bottom line.
After ending the call, Tang Qi silently pondered for a mont before shaking his head and rapidly leaving.
Regardless of what Hastu Club intended to do, quickly boosting his own strength was the fundantal way forward.
…
As night fell, Tang Qi appeared in the suburbs.
This ti, he chose his hunting ground in a mountain range he had scouted before.
It was the place he had marked on his way to Cold River Town, where the ghost light surged most intensely.
Soon, Tang Qi’s figure appeared there.
A vast swamp, emitting a strong foul odor.
Tang Qi descended not far from the swamp, then reverted to his human form and walked toward the edge of the swamp.
As he approached, the foul sll made Tang Qi frown deeply.
Before he could contemplate setting traps, suddenly, a strong vibration ca from beneath his feet.
“Ssss~roar”
The swamp, thick with black mud, exploded without warning, and a Blood Bowl mouth attacked from below.
The giant mouth was big enough to swallow Tang Qi whole.
The pungent sll of blood mixed with the foul odor completely enveloped the area where Tang Qi stood.
