"Excuse me, you said you killed a Resentful Soul before. Could you tell me which page of the spellbook you used?"
Tang Qi walked up to the blond young man who was lost in self-doubt, maintaining a polite distance, and asked with a curious expression.
If it were anyone else, or at any other time, this blond young man named Ryan would have immediately put away the Illustrated Book in his hand, not allowing anyone to peek.
In his opinion, this was his future security.
Ever since he accidentally came into contact with the mysterious world and discovered that the ancient Illustrated Book left by his grandfather actually contained drawings of various monsters, along with many demon-hunting spells, he embarked on the path of a Bounty Hunter.
He even pulled in a few other "enthusiasts" and formed a team.
Adding to that, he had coincidentally used a spell from the Illustrated Book to eliminate a Resentful Soul, earning a large bounty and successfully giving the team some cohesion.
But now, another test had arrived.
Perhaps because Tang Qi's appearance was too deceptive, and his action of keeping a distance made people feel good, coupled with the fact that they were now under everyone's gaze and he himself was in a state of confusion, upon hearing Tang Qi's words, he subconsciously started flipping through the book.
The entire Illustrated Book was actually made by stringing together sheets of paper with something similar to linen rope, the craftsmanship was very rough. Each page had a different texture, and the monsters or ghosts depicted weren't particularly rare.
At least, they were commonly seen in the Monster Files.
Soon, Ryan flipped to that page.
Unlike the other pages, the paper on this page was incredibly thin, almost transparent.
It depicted a Death God pattern, a large black robe covering a ghostly body, two red lights glowing, and a terrifying scythe that seemed ready to fall at any moment.
Below the pattern was a line of extremely complex and strange Gibberish.
"Buzz"
At this moment, a faint light indeed appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.
[Mystical Item: Death God's Gibberish.] [Status: Fragmented Page.] [Information Fragment 1: In ancient times, a lucky yet unlucky young man accidentally entered a state of suspended animation. During the three years of suspended animation, he overheard the Death God's Gibberish repeatedly and recorded it after waking up, thus forming a Transcendental masterpiece, "Death God's Gibberish".] [Information Fragment 2: The young man's actions angered the Death God. He was taken away by the Death God after writing down the last piece of Gibberish, and those Gibberish became blurred due to the Death God's curse, with only a few fragmented pages remaining.] [Information Fragment 3: Using the fragmented page allows for the practice of the "Medium" Professional path, but there is a risk of angering the Death God again.]
Tang Qi was initially shocked by the sudden influx of information fragments flowing through his eyes, but after seeing the content, he understood.
Generally speaking, Mystical Items with a higher Transcendental level contained more information fragments.
Of course, this wasn't absolute, just a small pattern.
It's actually a Mystical Item that allows one to step into the realm of Professionals, and judging by the description, its Transcendental level must be very high.
This explains why he could kill a Resentful Soul. For a living being to hear the Death God's Gibberish, bad things would happen, but for a not-so-powerful Resentful Soul to hear it, I'm afraid there would be no outcome other than death.
In that case, this young man indeed has the potential to become a Medium, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to learn the Death God's Gibberish.
Tang Qi lightly scanned the spell on the fragmented page, just to get a sense of it, but had no intention of practicing it. He had already offended the Misfortune Witch from another realm and didn't want to provoke the Death God from who knows which plane. Moreover, compared to spells, Tang Qi believed his Furnace Power was far more terrifying in damaging Resentful Souls.
These thoughts ended as soon as Ryan flipped to that page.
His mind returned to the matter at hand. The tense, chaotic, and terrifying atmosphere in the auditorium reopened, trying to envelop Tang Qi as well.
Tang Qi motioned for Ryan to put away the Illustrated Book, then walked to the center of the auditorium, in front of the brazier.
Because many herbs, ointments, and that disgusting pus had been burned in it, the brazier now contained a pool of black and yellow liquid. It looked disgusting, but it emitted a fragrance that made people involuntarily swallow their saliva.
And it was very strong.
Tang Qi slowly squatted down under everyone's astonished gaze and lifted the brazier with both hands. As he did so, his voice rang out.
"Moon Wheel Flower, Egg Holding Orchid, Thornless Grass, plus Spurge Poison Hemlock Juice, and human fat solution, burned together, can indeed emit a sweet fragrance that is deadly to spider-type Abnormalities. However, this plan overlooked one possibility."
"This kind of trap is only effective against wild monsters. What if the monster hiding in Messer University is... a human who has transformed?"
"Hiss~"
As soon as Tang Qi finished speaking, it immediately caused a commotion in the auditorium. Before everyone could react to this news, Tang Qi suddenly took a few steps and violently threw the basin of liquid in his hands towards a relatively secluded corner of the auditorium.
Two people were standing there.
A graceful, beautiful woman in professional attire, and a muscular man who looked like a bodybuilder.
Their identities were the assistant to Professor Rick Cassel and a school guard.
As soon as they saw Tang Qi throwing the basin of liquid at them, they instinctively showed expressions of panic. However, the Female Assistant seemed to quickly react, grabbing the guard who was about to dodge, and then shrieked, "It's okay, we're not..."
"Sizzle"
The beautiful Female Assistant didn't finish her sentence before her entire body seemed to be splashed with some kind of strong acid. A terrifying sound came, followed by her skin starting to melt, as if a hot iron had been inserted into cheese, and yellow, viscous liquid bubbled out.
The guard next to her suffered the same fate.
However, everyone didn't even have time to feel sympathy before they were immediately stunned by the terrifying sight that appeared next.
While the Female Assistant and the guard screamed, their lower bodies began to swell. Long, thick black fuzz grew out, a large spider abdomen appeared, and their upper bodies also began to twist. Their beautiful faces turned into gaping maws and sunken noses, and their three ruby-red eyes stained with filth now looked incredibly evil.
"Hiss~"
"Hiss hiss"
The two Spider Monsters, having completed their transformation, fixed all six of their eyes on Tang Qi.
It was this little thing that exposed them.
Their first thought was to tear this young man in half and devour him.
But just as they were howling and looking over, Tang Qi gave them a mysterious smile, then stepped aside, revealing Stana who had already raised her pistol behind him.
Bang!
Bang!
With the sound of the shots, two streaks of azure light bored into the heads of the two monsters. Their sturdy skulls became incredibly fragile under the power of the Sea Demon Bullets. Under everyone's gaze, their skulls were blown open, and the brain matter inside exploded.
Their bodies, far exceeding human size, also crashed to the ground.
They were dead!
Although no one could believe it, feeling like everything before them was a dream because it happened too fast, too fast for anyone to react.
They had only seen a young man suddenly step forward, explain something, then suddenly splash that disgusting-looking but incredibly fragrant liquid onto the Female Assistant and the Guard Captain. Then two Spider Monsters appeared, and then were instantly killed by the Big Sister Police Chief shooting them in the head.
But dead was dead, the bodies wouldn't lie.
Everyone had to accept this fact, and after a moment of愣了一下, they simultaneously cheered.
