Bounty Hunter and Demon Spider Banshee

"Who are you people?"

This time, it was Stana who shouted.

Her tall figure stepped into the deceased professor's office, glaring at the extra figures inside.

Intruders!

Anyone with eyes could see that the few people rummaging through the professor's office were definitely not police, nor did they look like university staff.

This was the scene of a serial murder case. Stana immediately pulled out her internal radio and started calling for police backup, giving the others no time to react.

The few people stopped what they were doing and tried to stop the Police Chief, but were scared by a dark police pistol and stayed put, not daring to move. Only one young man, who seemed to be the leader, kept shouting for Stana to calm down.

They were here to help.

At this moment, Tang Qi behind them had the leisure to take a good look at these people.

There were six in total, four men and two women.

The blonde young man leading them was tall with ruggedly handsome features and a spiky buzz cut, dressed like a cowboy.

The other three men were a scruffy old man with messy hair and beard, a strong young man, and a scrawny, bookish-looking fellow.

The two women were more normal, one was a busty woman, and the other was a sweet-looking brunette girl who seemed to come from a well-off family.

"Quite a team!"

Tang Qi thought to himself, looking at the somewhat messy office.

These people were clearly not police, but they were all carrying weapons. From their bulging waistbands, it looked like each person had a pistol. The old man also had a large-caliber shotgun slung over his shoulder, and the busty woman was carrying a pump-action shotgun.

If it weren't for the fact that these people didn't have any fierce aura about them, Tang Qi might have thought they were perhaps going to rob a bank?

This was probably why Stana was so nervous, after all, she only had one police pistol in her hand.

Fortunately, these people didn't seem to have any intention of clashing with the police. Despite being pointed at by Stana's gun, they just kept trying to explain.

Soon, other police officers from the school rushed over, and the spacious office immediately became crowded.

In the chaos, Tang Qi "got his wish" and met the Police Chief of the Messer Police Department.

An ordinary case would certainly not require a chief to show up.

Even during the "Skinning Case" at St. Thorn High School, the chief didn't appear.

But this serial murder case at Messer University was clearly different in nature. For the sake of her position, this seemingly shrewd black woman, who was the Police Chief of the Messer Police Department, appeared here.

She naturally took over command from Stana and confiscated the weapons from those few people.

It seemed like she was about to escort them back to the police station for questioning, but at this moment, the cowboy youth finally couldn't hold back and directly shouted at the black female chief, "Don't misunderstand, we are not the murderers, we are just a Bounty Hunter team."

"We came here for the bounty, and I already know what the murderer is."

As soon as the cowboy youth shouted this, everyone had different reactions.

"Bounty?"

This was the black female chief.

"What?"

This was Stana, and Tang Qi.

"What do you mean by bounty? Where did this bounty come from?"

Seizing the opportunity, the cowboy youth quickly explained.

Their group was actually a Bounty Hunter team that had seen the bounty jointly issued by several Messer University trustees and rushed over to investigate.

Although the Police Chief was very dissatisfied with the bounty matter, it was clear that those so-called trustees didn't trust the police department's ability.

But as the Police Chief, the black woman still suppressed the urge to throw these so-called Bounty Hunters into jail and asked solemnly, "You just said you know who the murderer is?"

As soon as the chief finished speaking, the cowboy youth immediately corrected her, "Not who. The murderer should be a kind of... Abnormality."

Hiss~

As soon as the cowboy youth finished speaking, the scene immediately fell silent.

Most of the police officers looked at the cowboy youth and his group as if they were looking at a bunch of lunatics.

But several people, including the Police Chief, had their expressions change.

With the return of the Spiritual Tide and the resurgence of the Mystic Side, along with various Supernatural Powers, came various Abnormalities from the mystic realms.

However, ordinary people at the lower levels of society, unless they had special opportunities or bad luck, could not see the other world at this time.

Most of the police officers present were of this type.

But Stana and the Police Chief were not.

Stana was lucky and unlucky. She was accidentally, or rather deliberately, pulled into the mystic world by Tang Qi.

As for the Police Chief, because of her special position, she received some hints from above.

Both of them had some understanding of the Mystic Side.

However, this situation would not last long. Soon, ordinary people would also vaguely know about the existence of the Mystic Side. After all, the number of supernatural individuals was actually far less than those Abnormalities. Once the Spiritual Tide reached its peak, those Abnormalities would be completely unable to be concealed.

At that time, the world will be plunged into immense change.

Of course, all of that is still far off. What needs to be resolved now is an incredibly thorny bloody case.

The Police Chief waved her hand, allowing the officers to release the restraints on the group. At the same time, she had most of the officers withdraw, and the office became spacious once again.

The Black woman's face, which usually looked so approachable, was now incredibly serious. She stared intently at the so-called Bounty Hunter team before her. The young cowboy leading them looked like he was waiting for an explanation.

Stana, seeing this sudden turn of events from behind him, also seemed like she wanted to step forward and say something. But at this moment, Tang Qi pulled her back and shook his head, signaling her not to bring him up yet, but to listen to what the young cowboy had to say first.

Given the opportunity to explain, the young cowboy did not disappoint. He also knew that people in sufficiently high positions could already know some things about the Mystic Side.

So, without hesitation, he quickly took a thick, worn-out illustrated book from his backpack.

Holding it with one hand, he quickly flipped through it.

At the same time, his mouth didn't stop moving, speaking at a very fast pace.

"We are Bounty Hunters, but our team only accepts bounties related to the Mystic realm, like this one. At first, we didn't know what happened here, and naturally, we couldn't be sure it was something we could handle."

"Until I saw a photo from the scene. The way the victims died, their state, completely matched the characteristics of the kind of monster I know about."

Rustle~ Slap

As he spoke, the young cowboy's hand suddenly slapped down on a page in the illustrated book.

Everyone looked over together, only to see on that page, clearly depicted, an incredibly ugly and ferocious monster.

It was a spider monster, its entire body covered in black hair, with a swollen abdomen and an upper body that closely resembled a human's, and very distinct female features. It had a gaping maw, a sunken nose above it, and three ruby-like eyes.

As everyone was slightly shocked, the young cowboy's accompanying explanation followed.

"Demon Spider Banshee. This is a vicious and special type of monster. It likes to taste human flesh, but doesn't eat it all. Instead, after swallowing humans, it regurgitates them at midnight, exposing the half-eaten human bodies to spread fear. They can smell fear, and they absolutely love that smell."

"My ancestor once killed a Banshee, so I know the method. That bounty is mine."

The handsome and charming blond young man, the leader of the Bounty Hunter team, pointed at the spider Banshee in the illustrated book and said with absolute certainty.
