The Sexual Deviant Serial Killer

Late at night, on the messy wooden table, the bright lamp flickered slightly.

Tang Qi held tools in both hands, bent over the desk, performing very detailed work.

He didn't know if it was because he had become a supernatural being, or the enhancement from the Chaga Combat Technique, but Tang Qi's arm recovery speed was truly astonishing.

While it still wasn't as flexible as his other hand, it no longer hindered some gripping actions.

Beside him at this moment were two books. One was Firearms Repair Guide: Bullet Chapter, and the other was Compendium of Exorcism Items.

The former was a gift when he bought the toolbox, and the latter was the original owner's personal collection, a book of common knowledge that was popular a hundred years ago, and now considered superstitious.

For Tang Qi, both were useful now.

After unsealing Blood Python No. 1, Tang Qi saw two fragments of information.

One told Tang Qi the origin of Blood Python No. 1.

The other told him that this supernatural pistol currently only possessed the basic attributes of explosion and armor penetration, and its power could be enhanced by modifying different supernatural bullets.

Tang Qi had been busy for most of the night doing just this.

He bought a large pile of strange exorcism items, then combined them in various ways and stuffed them into the yellow bullets.

Although there was no danger, the process was very tedious, requiring both physical and mental effort.

For example, the combination Tang Qi was experimenting with at this moment.

Tang Qi was seen using a pair of tweezers to slowly pick up a red flower seed, only slightly larger than a grain of rice. He carefully placed it in a small bowl nearby, rolled it around a few times until the seed was covered in silver flakes, then picked it out and carefully placed it into a bullet casing that had been soaked in holy water.

After that, the second seed, the third, the fourth... After stuffing six seeds, Tang Qi stopped.

He then reset the bullet casing, and a "click" sounded.

On the table was another complete bullet.

Buzz

His gaze swept over it, and the look of anticipation in Tang Qi's eyes immediately disappeared.

Despite adding many things, not to mention the holy water and silver, the Rouge Flower Seed, besides being a widely used spice globally, was also one of the most famous exorcism materials in the ancient Maya Empire.

Unfortunately, this combination still ended in failure.

"This is the last combination. It seems my method is wrong."

"Could it be that I can only use that?"

Tang Qi dropped the tools, looking at the project in front of him that had consumed over an hour with no results.

His gaze finally settled on his own wrist.

After only a second of hesitation, Tang Qi immediately stood up, retrieved a clean small knife, found the right spot on his wrist, and slashed it. A red line immediately appeared on his fair skin, and fresh, crimson blood flowed out.

Not a single drop was wasted, all dripping into the small bowl on the table.

Seeing that the amount of blood in the bowl was sufficient, Tang Qi immediately stopped the bleeding.

After a rough bandage, Tang Qi picked up the tweezers again, directly clamped a clean bullet, and without any combination, directly dropped it into the small bowl full of fresh blood.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but in less than a second, as soon as the bullet was submerged in the blood, a faint golden light suddenly flashed.

Tang Qi moved extremely fast. As a blur passed by, the bullet had already been clamped out.

In the air, the blood covering the surface of the bullet should have gathered and dripped down, but under Tang Qi's gaze, the blood seemed to slowly merge into the bullet itself, not a single thread or drop falling.

In just one breath, the bullet returned to its original yellow color.

However, if one looked closely, they could see a faint, sun-like symbol on the tip of the bullet.

A special interface finally appeared in Tang Qi's eyes this time.

[Mystical Item: Furnace Bullet.]

[Attributes: Evil-Breaking, Burning.]

[Information Fragment: A bullet soaked in Supernatural Blood. It has gained a trace of Furnace Power. It will transform from a mundane object into a supernatural one. It possesses the attributes of Evil-Breaking and Burning.]

"This... it worked?"

Tang Qi stared blankly at the supernatural bullet in front of him. The complicated hour-long process before had yielded nothing.

Cut his wrist once, and a supernatural bullet was immediately obtained?

As if realizing something, Tang Qi looked at the small bowl of fresh blood again.

Sure enough, another special interface appeared.

[Mystical Item: Supernatural Blood.]

[Information Fragment: This is a bowl of supernatural blood containing Furnace Power. It can be used for many purposes.]

"So, the key to modifying bullets is that supernatural materials must be used to make ordinary bullets transform?"

Ding~ Ding ding

As this thought popped into his mind, seven or eight bullets were consecutively thrown directly into the small bowl by Tang Qi, and then clamped out one by one.

Lined up on the table, there were a total of nine, all transformed into Furnace Bullets.

But when Tang Qi tried to throw in the tenth bullet, he was surprised to find that the small bowl was already empty.

He paid a bowl of blood and got nine supernatural bullets.

Tang Qi didn't think the price was too high, he was just a little speechless.

If he couldn't find any other way, Tang Qi felt that he might be in a state of long-term anemia in the future.

But I guess it's a good thing. At least I understand one rule: only supernatural materials can create supernatural mystical items.

There is no shortcut.

Thump thump thump

Just as Tang Qi was summarizing, a sudden, somewhat urgent knocking sound drilled into his ears.

Hmm?

At this late hour, who would be looking for him?

Tang Qi immediately got up, alert, quickly put the nine Furnace Bullets into his pocket, and pulled over a large piece of burlap to cover the things on the table.

Only then did he go to the door and look through the peephole. A beautiful, somewhat familiar face he had seen during the day appeared.

"Chief Inspector Stana, it's so late, is something the matter?"

Tang Qi opened the door with one hand and rubbed his eyes with the other, pretending to be very sleepy but forcing himself to stay awake, and asked doubtfully.

Fortunately, he had been working in his pajamas all along, so his acting was perfect.

However, Stana at this moment had no attention to spare for these things. Compared to the daytime, Stana was completely different now.

Her body was covered in blood, whose it was she didn't know. It seemed she had just fought a terrifying opponent and experienced something incredible. Her face still held expressions of shock and disbelief, her mind having suffered a strong impact.

If it weren't for the impressive sharpness still in her eyes, Tang Qi would have suspected that this heroic female chief inspector had been replaced.

Invited into the room by Tang Qi, Stana didn't sit down, nor did she drink the fragrant coffee Tang Qi brought over.

She let out a deep breath, then stared straight at Tang Qi, saying word by word, "Little guy, did you know from the start that he was a monster? I need you to tell me everything."

Hearing this, Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, before he could ask what had happened.

Stana spoke first, her tone quick and urgent: "Your previous warning was right, that monster... the killer. I don't know what it is, but anyway, following the clues you gave us, we checked those four seashells. They are indeed all from the Aegean Sea, but there's no way to obtain them in Messer City."

"Unless it's some nobles or wealthy people who specifically had someone transport them from the Aegean Sea, but we checked, and no one did that."

"So we quickly found the only channel. The Europa Alliance and the Federation had a student exchange, and there was a team of students from the Anglo States who just happened to come to Messer City and are living in the International Dormitory not far from St. Thorn High School."

"The suspect is also a high school student. After we caught him, he admitted that he is actually a Sexual Deviant Serial Killer who likes to skin teenage girls alive."

"Originally, everything was fine, but just as we were about to take him back to the police station, a terrible accident happened."

"That person, he suddenly turned into a monster. Scales grew on his body, his lower body turned into a tail, and his head looked like it had been soaked in water for a long time, swollen and rotten, becoming greasy and ugly. The most unimaginable thing is that he was also wearing four human skins, those of the four girls who were killed."

"My subordinates were scared and opened fire. After shattering the first human skin on its body, this monster roared in anger. Several police officers who were too close sacrificed themselves, their heads suddenly exploded, and before we could react, the monster also escaped."

"I'm going to kill that monster, I must kill it."

"Now, tell me everything you know, everything, all of it! Tell! Me!"

As she uttered the last sentence, Stana suddenly regained the mature and sharp aura she had during the day.

If Tang Qi hadn't faintly felt a hint of danger and had a premonition that this older sister-like female chief inspector would probably directly beat him up if she didn't get a satisfactory answer, he would have had the leisure to appreciate her properly.

"Chief Inspector Stana, you..."

"Not good!"

Tang Qi had only said half a sentence when an extremely strong premonition of danger surged out, and his exposed skin felt like it was being pricked by needles at this moment.

As soon as this sudden change occurred, Tang Qi's expression changed drastically. He pounced forward like a leopard, directly hugging Chief Inspector Stana, and rolled on the spot, just rolling under the wooden table next to them.

It was the moment his body left its original position. Accompanied by a terrifying howl, a ghostly thing like a tornado directly smashed through a wall of Tang Qi's room. With a "boom," it happened to create a large pit where Tang Qi had been standing.

If he had been half a breath slower, Tang Qi might be a puddle of meat paste right now.
