In the break room of the Messer Police Station.
Tang Qi silently checked the room. Although it was a police station, being cautious was never a mistake.
At the same time, several thoughts arose in his mind.
The Wrong Magic Book!
Completely worthless?
Of course, not.
In fact, if Tang Qi were willing to strive for the professions of "Evil Spirit Summoner" or "Evil God Servant," that would be an extremely valuable magic book.
It indeed was not ancient, as it had been mass-printed.
But that doesn't mean all the spells in it are fake—the so-called "wrong version" was actually intentionally done by someone with a purpose.
There are a large number of ineffective spells within it, yet it contains some that are entirely effective.
Whether summoning evil spirits or evil gods, there would be no problems.
It's just that whichever spell one uses, there are strict requirements.
For example, that nanny who killed everyone, she actually possessed a certain special lineage, which is why she could successfully summon the "Blood Flower Evil Spirit."
If another person was to use the same wrong spell, the outcome would only be to summon a cold wind that extinguishes the candles.
However, it is precisely because of these factors that Tang Qi resolutely decided to give up.
Just like the treasure map of the past.
The reason is quite simple.
The scent of conspiracy!
And it's a very strong scent of conspiracy.
The seemingly ancient treasure map pointing to the treasure of one of the mighty Divine Saints, specifically Lord Confessor, had strange codings on it.
The seemingly coincidental Wrong Magic Book contained a number of spells that could successfully summon evil spirits and evil gods, but to successfully summon them required strict lineages, or other conditions, and whoever succeeded would pay with their life as the price.
This seems to be some kind of selection mechanism.
"A force related to evil gods and evil spirits, using this method, to let evil spirits and evil gods descend back to Earth en masse?"
Tang Qi came up with a wild idea and felt the terrible malice within it.
Such a huge trouble, Tang Qi expressed his inability to provoke it.
Therefore, he left it all to the official channels.
However, to Tang Qi's surprise, Stanna had vaguely perceived this.
That was also good, at least it saved him some trouble.
In case Stanna was too curious and insisted on learning the summoning spells, Tang Qi would still have a headache, questioning whether he should give up this "shield" that was his public façade?
Yes, Tang Qi indeed treated Stanna as a shield for his created persona.
Whether it was the cases within Messer University or today's blood incident with the evil spirit, the real attacking power had always been Stanna, with Tang Qi always acting as a youth advisor who was powerless but knowledgeable.
Apart from being able to slack off, it seemed like there wasn't any other benefit?
But, it was only temporary, how could he sweep all the issues at once and avoid future troubles without hiding his power?
Lost in thought, Tang Qi sat down cross-legged and then activated his skill without hesitation.
Meditation Method!
"Om~Hoo"
As usual, the Sun was sketched out in gold, and Tang Qi once again entered that dark and void space, the golden light points he obtained from burning evil spirits flowed like a "stream of golden sand" from the void and slowly integrated into the Melter.
Warm, scorching sensations enveloped Tang Qi once more.
Half an hour later, Tang Qi came back to his senses.
All the fuel had been digested; he didn't even have time to feel the piercing pain when Cultivation reached its peak.
His eyelids drooped slightly, resting on himself.
It was still the Skill Bar, and currently, there were four sub-items listed.
Skill: Golden Furnace Meditation, Molten Furnace Eye, Chaga Fighting Technique, Secret Medicine.
Besides the last skill, Secret Medicine, Tang Qi had yet to begin learning.
The rest of the three skills, he had already entered the beginner level, with only slight variations in progress.
Tang Qi's first thought was to focus on the Meditation Method, which is the foundation and source of his current strength.
[Golden Furnace Meditation: This is an ancient meditation method, Realm: Beginner; Progress: 1.5%.]
[Molten Furnace Eye: Derived skill, Realm: Beginner; Progress: 0.4%.]
[Chaga Fighting Technique: An ancient fighting skill from the Saha Continent, Realm: Beginner; Progress: 0.3%.]
Each sub-item had increased significantly compared to before.
This was Tang Qi's progress over the last few days.
However, looking at those slowly increasing numbers, Tang Qi couldn't help but sigh over the slow progress.
"No wonder professionals from the Mysterious Side World are so rare; it seems that even the weakest of professionals encounter numerous difficulties during cultivation."
"But given the origin of the Melter Meditation, if one day I become a professional, maybe its power..."
Before his fantasy could take flight, Tang Qi shook his head and dismissed the thought.
Indeed, if there is no imminent danger, one's mind tends to relax.
He was still dawdling at one percent progress, yet he was already thinking about becoming a professional.
Sigh!
Suppressing those thoughts, Tang Qi stood up, checked his appearance, and then pushed open the door of the rest room.
"Swish"
"Swish swish"
What it meant to be the center of attention — Tang Qi was experiencing it now.
In the office area, everyone was casting their glances his way.
The rare and mysterious advisor!
Tang Qi easily understood the meaning in everyone's eyes and revealed a helpless smile.
Clearly, the members of the newly established team knew of Tang Qi's identity.
The ones responsible for spreading the word were probably Havier and Nathan.
Especially Havier, the outgoing black young man with curly hair, who was still in a state of fear on Tulip Street, thus becoming quiet and reticent; but after resting back at the police station, he quickly regained his vitality, and along with Nathan, began to recount the magical experiences they had just had.
In fact, the term "Mysterious Side" has never been far from the various nations of Origin Blue Star.
It was just that a hundred years of dilution and blockade made people begin to forget it.
But now, Tang Qi's presence had evoked those memories in their minds, and he had even personally validated some for the two of them.
The most incredible thing was that they were about to become members of the Mysterious Side.
Although, the reality was not like this, but it didn't prevent them from thinking so.
After all, the "Special Response Team," set up by Messer Police Station to deal specifically with mysterious and supernatural events, just happened to include everyone in this office area. In this sense, they really were stepping halfway into the Mysterious Side.
The reason it was only halfway was fundamentally because this response team was established for Tang Qi and Stanna.
And rather cruelly put, the two were also considered backups.
If an incident with heavy casualties and extreme horror occurred, Messer Police Station would definitely report it immediately, letting the real "heavy troops" come to suppress it.
It was only for cases like the one an hour ago on Tulip Street that the Special Response Team would step in to handle.
Of course, for the rest of the team, this was already thrilling enough.
And after seeing Stanna's performance, both Havier and Nathan, who had been out in the field together, simultaneously displayed an unusual look.
While Stanna had always been a prominent figure in the police station, with superior gun skills, case-solving efficiency, and other abilities that outshone these gentlemen,
Until not long ago, Stanna had still been within the bounds of an ordinary person.
At the very least, she certainly couldn't have used a gun to "blow the head off" a terrifying Evil Spirit.
Undoubtedly, it was Tang Qi, the enigmatic advisor who had brought about this change in Stanna.
Tang Qi still understood the look in their eyes, the unmistakable look.
Aspiration!
Aspiration for Extraordinary Power!
