Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Fishing

“It’s over!”

Tang Qi gently jumped off from Robert’s corpse, feeling a sense of fullness in his mind.

In a very short time, he had converted the resentful souls of two professional-level hounds into fuel and fed them into his self furnace. The progress of his Meditation Method was rapidly increasing, and it seemed it wouldn’t be long before he could move to the next stage.

After Tang Qi appeared, he first sneak attacked and killed the white hound Lance, then killed four blue hounds, ending with Robert, the strongest black hound.

The “Hound Squad,” which had brought severe injury to the FBI, was thus completely annihilated.

Looking carefully, almost the entire squad was wiped out by Tang Qi.

Of course, all of this would be attributed to the “Night Wing Knight,” with no connections to Tang Qi, the consultant at the Messer Police Station.

This kind of limelight seemed tempting, but the hidden dangers were more frightening. An insubstantial “Second Body” could endure without issues, but if it were his real self, then Tang Qi would never have a peaceful day again. Being targeted by the Shepherd Sect was scary enough, but the real trouble lay in the attention from the FBI.

Thinking of this, Tang Qi did not move towards the magic shield.

He had already obtained the “contact information” of White Witch Zoe. According to their contract, under the witness of a permanently neutral ancient divine, Zoe must provide the knowledge necessary to help Tang Qi unlock the dual seals on the “Witch Iron Box.”

Unlike the Black Witch, who often sets traps in contracts, the White Witch’s reputation is excellent. Tang Qi had no worries about vainly giving away a Life Essence Stone.

Most crucially, Tang Qi felt that Zoe’s gaze on him was rather strange at that moment.

“She is up to no good!”

In the depths of his heart, Tang Qi firmly reached this conclusion.

Without evidence but with a very clear premonition, Tang Qi decisively chose to leave for safety reasons.

He threw a faint smile towards the various agents inside the magic shield and appeared just “revived” Demon Hunter Odys, then waving his hand enthusiastically. Suddenly, his body buzzed into smoke and vanished on the spot.

Once he left, everyone’s expressions grew complex.

The agents felt they missed an opportunity to contact a strong figure closely and also missed gathering more intelligence.

Odys, however, felt it was a pity to lose a figure who could share the burden.

As for Zoe, the source of the pressure, she helplessly muttered, “Sly fellow,” then dispelled a prepared mischievous magic.

Tang Qi, of course, was unaware of the investigating team’s subsequent thoughts.

At this moment, he looked surprised, staring at a figure standing within the shadow of the tower.

Andre Poli!

This traitor from the Shepherd Sect had always been a prisoner under Tang Qi’s steps.

But now, he had escaped.

In front of him was still his ugly, foul-smelling body, but just two steps away, behind the shadows, one could see a large, bloody, messy hole on the back of the body, as if something had hollowed out Poli’s body from there.

A faint ghost light was twinkling at the bottom of Tang Qi’s eyes.

“Curios: Virus Shell, a virus body in the process of evolution, forcibly hastened the process, shedding its shell which still retains some power of the Ancestor’s Flower, though its true essence has left…”

Clearly, Andre Poli took advantage of Tang Qi’s departure to kill the Hound Squad and forcibly shed his shell to escape.

His previously senseless behavior likely had hints of acting.

Tang Qi’s eyes slightly narrowed, a smile then appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Buzz!

With a thought from Tang Qi, suddenly, a ripple of shadow emanated, a Night Beast with a bone-armored head peeked out, nudged Tang Qi, and then with a black hoof, pointed in a certain direction, its glossy black eyes showing a hint of mockery.

…

In the dark wilderness, a shadow resembling a “small beast” was fleeing at high speed.

Like a stroke of black lightning, it dashed across the wilderness, not even deliberately discerning its direction, with only one thought in its heart: to escape, to flee the area of Messer City.

In the dark night, its eyes exhibited uniquely human emotions—fear, panic, and hatred predominated.

Poli, or rather, the “transformed” Poli.

In just one night, the fear that Tang Qi brought to Andre Poli was starting to rival that instilled by Mr. Leckter, the leader of the Shepherd Sect.

Especially when it witnessed firsthand this police station consultant with a dual identity, with an unknown “Second Body”, nearly annihilating an entire Hound Squad, including even two “Black and White Level” hounds.

Poli was plunged into immense fear, not just because he was captured by Tang Qi, but even more terrifying, he had learned Tang Qi’s secret.

In Poli’s view, if one’s secrets are discovered, the best recourse is naturally to silence them.

Especially, this “informed person” was a deranged serial killer and an unstable virus body; no matter how it was dealt with, a suitable excuse for clean-up could be found.

Realizing these things, Poli almost recklessly thought of a way to escape.

Ultimately, he succeeded.

He forcibly accelerated his “transformation,” shedding his rotting, foul-smelling virus shell in an “immature juvenile” form, breaking free from Tang Qi’s Body Control Spell.

At this moment, Poli’s only thought was to flee far away, unless he evolved enough to contend with the entire Shepherd Sect or this “Mysterious Advisor” of Messer City, otherwise he would never appear again.

It must be said, Poli’s idea was good, although neither scenario was likely achievable, but at least being cautious could save his life.

Unfortunately, all of this was predicated on one thing.

That is, he could really escape.

“Whoo~whoo whoo whoo”

In the dead silence of the wilderness, cold night winds blew as Poli gasped for breath.

He dared not rest, only knowing to run for his life. Some lights appeared ahead, perhaps a remote village where he might find shelter, consume some “fresh flesh,” and replenish his nutrition… Poli was thinking to himself.

Suddenly, a voice that made him explode like a cat stepped on its tail pierced his ears.

“Mr. Poli, I found you!”

Tang Qi’s voice, borne down by the night winds, resounded in the wilderness.

Then, right in front of Poli, a shadow emerged, as Tang Qi and the Night Beast slowly walked out.

Tang Qi’s gaze fell on the newly-transformed Andre Poli, who at this time, the serial killer, had abandoned human form.

His body resembled a small monster; after the bloodied membrane dried up, it covered a corpse-white body, seemingly a hasty “creation”, apart from evolving limbs for fast running and a tail for steering direction.

The most eye-catching part was its head, a huge head with only half a face left after erosion.

And underneath the membrane, encased was an object resembling a “heart,” a vivid red thing.

It seemed to replace the heart, “thumping” away, releasing a flow of bright red liquid, a powerful force contained within.

Tang Qi sensed that if desired, Poli could let go of the restraints, and that force would lead him on a path of evolution, but Poli actively suppressed this process because he needed a safe, secretive nest.

Regrettably, it all seemed impossible now.

So, Tang Qi also saw the deep despair emerging in Poli’s eyes.

“You let me go on purpose, didn’t you?”

The monster Poli shook its gigantic head, voice trembling as it spoke.
