"Thank you, I really like this language."
Tang Qi stood up, and likewise gave his respects back to the two Mohawk girls.
He wasn't lying; he truly liked this newly learned language, especially since he acquired the memory related to it in just a few seconds, by cheating.
The Mohawk Language!
It refers to the language of the Mohawk people, who are one of the oldest species within the Divine Eagle Federation, and before the foundation of the Federation, or rather before those "new immigrants" arrived, the Mohawk people dominated the southeastern part of the continent.
They are a brave and good-at-fighting species, known as "Guardians of the Eastern Gateway."
They believe that all things have spirits and advocate for nature and the universe.
Due to the rapid development of the Divine Eagle Federation, the Mohawk people are now considered a minority group, and most have integrated into the Federation, intermarrying with other species. Pure Mohawk people are becoming increasingly rare, and their language is gradually disappearing, being replaced by the official language of the Federation.
If Tang Qi wanted to learn, it would likely require a lot of resources and effort, and he might not even be able to learn it completely and authentically.
But now, Tang Qi has learned it.
A gift from the two young girls!
Although the use of the Mohawk language is not immediately apparent, understanding an ancient language is always a good thing.
Wizards, their favorite thing is the accumulation of knowledge.
Tang Qi silently thought to himself, then rubbed his slightly throbbing brow, pondering whether to continue unraveling the Mysterious Hair Tie when the door of the resting room was knocked.
He glanced at the wall clock, silently put away the hair knot.
He stood up and opened the door.
Naturally, it was Stanna standing there, her face also wearing a trace of fatigue, she raised the several files in her hand, greeted him, then turned and walked to the conference room.
Tang Qi followed her, and soon saw the spread out files on the conference room table.
Stanna's mature magnetic voice rang out at this time.
"The nearest few districts to the police station, filtered out, the most urgent cases."
"You're the consultant, you decide the order of precedence."
After speaking, seeing Tang Qi nodded, she began to introduce them one by one.
"The first case, in the Blank District, the death rate has sharply increased in recent days, so the police station had to dispatch another Corpse Collection Vehicle. In addition to the usual gang and robbery-related deaths, there are also some oddly gnawed corpses, seemingly done by some beast."
The first file was the Blank District, Tang Qi showed no surprise, it's a place residents of Messer City dubbed as the district of chaos.
And the description of the case sounded familiar, as if done by a Blank Dog-faced Man, but Tang Qi wasn't certain because there are many abnormal creatures similar to the Dog-faced Man.
While Tang Qi was still considering, Stanna's voice continued.
"Still the Blank District, a newly risen small gang, wiped out overnight, a grisly scene, and there were traces left that suggest a cult ritual."
"Blank District, ongoing reports from landlords about a large number of mysteriously disappearing tenants, reasons unknown yet."
Three consecutive serious cases from the Blank District made Stanna and others can't help but shake their heads.
This historic city of Messer, if this biggest "tumor" is not removed, it's unlikely to return to its peak.
Luckily, the next moment, the cases finally moved away from the Blank District.
"Rach District, a serial killer has appeared, already at least three families have been victimized, the scenes are dealt with very cleanly, leaving no biological materials behind."
The sudden jump to Rach District immediately sparked a bit of memory for Tang Qi, he still owns a villa there.
Stanna glanced at Tang Qi, having done her research on this somewhat unpleasant character and naturally knowing where he came from. However, seeing no particular reaction from him, she set aside the file and continued with the next one.
"Newton District, in recent days, at least a dozen bodies have been found, mostly homeless people and travelers. The bodies were similarly gnawed, with most of the flesh gone, and the damage was clearly caused by canine animals."
"Central District, in Central Park, some of the dead have been found, all wealthy people who were running at night, completely drained of blood."
"The last case, at the border of Newton District and Lopez Region, has already had at least seven bodies discovered, with victims dressed in old theatrical costumes, all cold and stiff, and with weird smiles on their faces."
After Stanna finished the briefing, she and the others turned to look at Tang Qi.
There were seven major cases selected from a large number of files.
Each one looked very serious.
They also met the two screening criteria set by Tang Qi, but since the team was just formed, the only ones who could handle the Extraordinary Power were Tang Qi, the "non-combat" consultant, and Stanna, who was in charge of combat.
Thus, they could only resolve one at a time.
And the choice was in Tang Qi's hands.
Indeed, Tang Qi was pondering, and his first exclusion was the one in Newton District because he had already cracked that case to some extent.
After all, the description of the case sounded just like something Mr. Skana would do.
An ordinary person with wild ideas, yet accidentally bred a species such as the Devil Dog, and had to feed them human flesh, pitying the homeless and travelers of Newton District.
Fortunately, Mr. Skana was already dead, and those Devil Dogs, too.
The manuscript became one of Tang Qi's collections, presumably with no tragic follow-ups.
Next, Tang Qi deferred the three cases in Blank District, simply because since they were in the same district, it was better to find a spacious time to investigate them together.
If manageable, handle it; if too dangerous, quickly evacuation and let the chief apply for support.
The case in Rach District seemed like the work of some powerful serial killer; classified as an Extraordinary case but lacking sufficient evidence, it was temporarily excluded.
By this process, only the last two remained.
Tang Qi silently pondered for a while, and finally, his gaze settled on the last file.
...
Messer Police Station, overseeing all districts including Newton District and Lopez Region.
When Tang Qi, Stanna, and their party arrived at the "scene," the officers deployed from the two district stations, an overweight white officer and a young officer with excessive body hair, both flashed bright smiles, then stared at each other for a moment, and finally approached together.
Seeing this, neither Tang Qi nor Stanna showed any surprise.
They already knew before coming that, as this case occurred on the border of two districts and involved horrific characteristics, both sides thought of offloading the responsibility onto each other.
For a while, both stations stood their ground, eventually not even retrieving the bodies, leaving them all inside a church.
Styled as: Temporary Office.
The people who came this time included Tang Qi and Stanna, as well as Nathan Havier, the elderly Gideon, and the forensic girl.
The latter two gave reasons that were hard to refuse.
Gideon said he had lived for decades, solved many human-committed blood crimes, and now wanted to see what Evil Spirits and Evil Gods really looked like.
While the forensic girl was more straightforward; she was tired of dissecting human bodies and wanted to try dissecting an Extraordinary Monster's body to see how it differed from humans.
Hearing their reasons, Tang Qi understood why they joined this team.
Among normal people, this group would be considered "weirdos."
And when Tang Qi entered the temporary office, a small church, and saw the seven bodies lying there dressed in strange theatrical costumes, he silently thought to himself: "Your wishes might just come true."
