"Bullets enclosed in an envelope—such a classic gangster move."
Tang Qi carried several Curios as he muttered to himself and returned to his room.
The Magic Palace Charm was a composite spell. The moment he entered, it automatically shimmered to life. Invisible spirits removed his overcoat, brushed away the dust, and served coffee and pastries. By the time the glow faded, Tang Qi was seated before his desk.
At his command, the letter opener on the desk floated up and slit open the envelope, triggering something within. A peculiar "bullet," engraved with intricate patterns, slowly rose into the air.
Every line of its engraving radiated light, revealing all its astonishing and captivating details.
Silently, it began to transform.
From a bullet, it instantly became an exquisite, compact handgun brimming with destructive intent, then shifted into other weapons—a Plasma Rifle, a flamethrower, a Magic Grenade, a Gatling Cannon, a Radiation Gun... The dazzling transformations resembled an exhibition of Supernatural Firearms.
Though the changes flashed by rapidly, several of the weapons were still extremely familiar to Tang Qi.
There was Blood Python No. 1, which he had used early on; Stana's Crimson Rhino; and the Rage Liberator he had snatched from a Two-Faced Clown supernatural being at the Mystic Freak Show.
Those weapons swiftly gave Tang Qi a guess. A faint light burst from his eyes, and the first Information Fragment flowing through his mind confirmed it.
Supernatural Mystical Item: Invitation Token of Monster Firearms Company, serial number 001. The owner will become the first guest at Monster Firearms Company's reopening...
"Just as I thought!"
Tang Qi became somewhat interested, though plenty of questions also arose.
Monster Firearms Company had closed down a century ago. Judging from the timing, it was likely a business that straddled reality and the supernatural.
