Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Plant (3rd update, please recomnd!)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The serial killings that had tornted sser University and the sser Police Station for seven long days, or to be more precise, the Demon slaying incidents, were resolved by a high school student.
This seems downright unbelievable.
But the real corpses, as well as the multitude of eyewitnesses, were sufficient proof.
When the dust settled, and the female chief had received Tang Qi’s assurance that “all Demons are dead,” she notified her superiors to co collect the Demon corpses with remarkable efficiency. Even before the officials arrived, the chief had already written her report and submitted it on the spot.
Despite the fact that Stanna, the female chief, played a major role on the scene,
When it cos to political maneuvers and efficiency, the chief truly exerted great effort.
At the sa ti, due to the “Mutant” situation of the female teaching assistant and the head of security, sser University was forced to conduct a self-examination.
Multiple reports from the scene, as well as follow-ups, were subsequently released.
In these reports, Tang Qi, the high school student, is described as a suprely intelligent, knowledge-rich genius.
As for the Mysterious Side abilities?
The answer is, none.
The credit for killing the Demons largely went to Stanna, the female chief.
Of course, this was a deliberate outco by Tang Qi, not because he wanted to shirk his responsibility.
He simply wanted to craft a “persona” for himself, a genius boy who may have no combat power but possesses robust knowledge and is also very smart.
Such a persona might miss out on so spotlight and so credit.
But in critical monts, it could exert a trendous influence.
Moreover, aside from the majority of the credit being allocated elsewhere, Tang Qi wasn’t without benefits.
In fact, the real benefits all fell into his pocket.
After killing the two Demons, while explaining to the bewildered audience, Tang Qi devoured the two Resentful Souls.
And the Fake Appointnt Letter was officially stamped on the spot by the chief.
From this day forward, Tang Qi would be regarded as a special consultant for the sser Police Station, not only with formal employnt but also a substantial salary.
Besides these, when Tang Qi and Stanna returned to Thorny High School, he took along so items, things moved out of Professor Rick Cassel’s office, which Tang Qi, under the pretext of a fondness for history, moved all of Professor Cassel’s notes back to his own ho.
Before leaving, Tang Qi gave a little piece of advice to the shortchanged Hunter Team, especially to Ryan, the leader.
“If you don’t want to risk your own and others’ lives in the not-too-distant future, the best choice would be to put away that atlas, and only study the page on gibberish. You might beco a great Spirit dium in the future; you have the potential for it.”
After dropping that remark, Tang Qi got into the police car, unconcerned about the potential consequences, and drove away.
…
After resolving a bloody case, naturally, there would be many troubleso follow-ups, but none of that concerned Tang Qi.
At this mont, he only wanted to return ho to his brick and stone bungalow with his spoils.
Compared to her speed when arriving, Stanna drove much slower, perhaps embarrassed by the fake appointnt, she remained silent, not initiating a conversation with Tang Qi, even though she had a belly full of questions.
But Stanna was still that decisive and efficient Stanna, only silent for half the journey. As they approached iser City, the chief could not help but speak up.
“That thing that made those two Demons materialize…?”
The first question prompted Tang Qi, who was using Magic Power to untie the Mysterious Hair Tie, to look up at her involuntarily.
He had thought Stanna’s first question would be about how those two beca Demons?
Yet he didn’t expect Stanna’s Insight to be so sharp.
Tang Qi had no intention of hiding it and directly said, “It’s my blood, mixed into that Potion when you weren’t paying attention.”
“I didn’t deceive that guy nad Ryan. Their so-called team, aside from him having so Spirit dium potential, the others are just average people. If they don’t co across a special opportunity, they better not enter the Extraordinary Domain.”
“Their potions and firearms are all useless.”
Stanna nodded in understanding, then asked, “What about those bullets, are they the ones from last ti…?”
“That’s right, they’re the new bullets I made using that bag of Sea Salt, called Sea Demon Bullets. Their effect is to break curses and disperse evil. They’re not as powerful as the Molten Furnace Bullets, but they pose a greater threat to monsters associated with curses.”
Seeing that Tang Qi didn’t mind the fake appointnt letter, Stanna quickly regained her dominant lady’s deanor, attempting to use her age and status to overpower Tang Qi.
Because the female police chief suddenly made a terrifying discovery while interacting with Tang Qi, a high school student.
Between them, it was she who was at a disadvantage.
Facing the mass of muscular Big n in the police academy and station, as well as smart colleagues and deceitful criminals, the domineering police chief never admitted defeat, so how could she be suppressed by a high school student?
Especially now, with Tang Qi sitting in the passenger seat, casually resolving the mysterious hair knot, looking like he is the boss, while she, Stanna, the well-known female police chief in Secret Phoenix State, appears to be just the driver. This was intolerable for Stanna.
Her past training and natural genius told her that she should be more aloof to overpower soone like Tang Qi, not like now where she seems like a curious baby, continuously asking questions.
But for Stanna, who had just stepped into the Mysterious Side, it was indeed hard to resist.
Tang Qi saw this and so he deliberately waited for Stanna’s questions even though he could have been proactive in sharing information.
That leisurely attitude of his made Stanna’s teeth itch with irritation.
At that mont, the female police chief recalled their initial contact, where she thought this little guy was a good and shy genius of the Mysterious Side.
Now it seed she had been deceived; he was actually a high school student with a nasty character and scheming nature.
Stanna saw through Tang Qi’s teasing ways, and in order not to be tricked, she forced herself to suppress the urge to ask questions again and again, while speeding up the car to its maximum, hurrying to return Tang Qi to Thorny High School before the first light of dawn.
When Tang Qi was about to get out of the car, holding a pile of notes and manuscripts, with a pot of withered and strange plant in his arms, Stanna, unable to contain herself any longer, asked with a complex tone, “Are those ghostly things going to get more and more frequent?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi paused, didn’t turn around, and simply walked towards his own small building.
His faint voice reached her ears.
“It won’t just be more and more, but also stronger and stronger, a kind of powerful beyond your imagination.”
“The world is about to change.”
…
“Click”
Without a word of asking Lady Stanna if she wanted to co in, Tang Qi closed the door behind him.
The timing, wasn’t right.
Moreover, at this ti, both of them, especially Stanna, needed so good rest.
Today she had felt the impact of an Extraordinary Monster once again, and this ti, being responsible for the headshot, the power of the two Sea Demon Bullets not only instantaneously killed the Spider Demon but also let Stanna, the gunbearer, feel sothing special about them.
But knowing her temperant, even if she went ho, she probably wouldn’t really rest, but rather think wildly for a while before simply going to practice shooting.
Actually, she still had so questions she hadn’t asked.
However, Tang Qi had already guessed her following questions, even if she asked, Tang Qi was not planning to answer.
Tang Qi carelessly placed the potted withered plant on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and then, treating the manuscripts and notes with much more importance, placed them aside, brewed himself a pot of coffee, took out so snacks, and started reading a notebook from Professor Cassel researching on so tribal site.
Judging by his deanor, he might be planning to read through the night.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to exhaustion, he fell asleep on the couch after reading only a small portion of that thick notebook.
One minute!
Half an hour!
An hour passed, and there were no signs of him waking up; it seed he was really dead asleep.
Was it an illusion or not, at that mont, the plant that Tang Qi had carelessly placed on the coffee table…suddenly moved a bit?
