In the dim alley, Tang Qi held his abdomen, panting pale-faced with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He looked helplessly at Sally next to him, who had resumed the appearance of a frightened little rabbit.
Tang Qi was not injured. He was just out of breath after intense exercise and was hit by the excited girl, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
However, this interruption made the atmosphere in the alley a little better. After all, three corpses were still lying on the dirty ground.
Tang Qi killed.
Not like the first day of rebirth when he took advantage of the loopholes in witchcraft to ambush Old Morgan.
He really killed with his own hands.
The accident happened too fast. Even Tang Qi did not have much time to think.
He had just caught up and found that Sally was in big trouble. Judging from the behavior of the three gangsters, if Tang Qi did not stand up, Sally would be in danger.
If Tang Qi came forward directly, the outcome would not be good either. Fighting three alone, Tang Qi was not sure of winning.
Even with the derivative skill "Furnace Eyes" he just got, he was afraid he could not help him fight three alone. That skill had just been mastered and could deter a high school student, but might not deter a crazy and vicious thing like a drug addict.
Seeing the "tragedy" about to happen, Tang Qi had to use the only fighting technique he got from Old Morgan's diary.
It was a very simple and brutal but terribly lethal fighting technique.
It seemed to have originated from the savage tribes on the Sahara continent, summarized in wars and hunting.
Originally, Tang Qi only practiced it for self-defense, but he never expected that the first use would be to kill.
After using it, Tang Qi felt pain all over his body like needles and a scalding sensation like boiling blood, making him suspect that he had not killed three people but ran a whole marathon.
However, there were also benefits.
In the midst of violent panting, the special interface appeared again in Tang Qi's eyes.
The skill column added an item.
Skills: Golden Furnace Meditation Method, Furnace Eyes, Cha-Ka Fighting Technique (Entry level, progress 0.01%)
"This is...turned into a skill?"
As the thought moved, a piece of information fragment emerged.
[Information fragment: This is a fighting technique from the Cha-Ka tribe on the Sahara continent, originating from wars and hunting, and spread among various tribes on the Sahara continent. It is very simple to get started but rarely practiced to the realm of mastery.]
"Only the entry level, 0.01% progress, can ambush and kill three people?"
At first, Tang Qi did not attach much importance to the fighting technique recorded in the diary. He only learned it silently when practicing meditation because it was the only one he could learn without being perceived by the old witch.
Now it seems that since Old Morgan recorded it in his precious witchcraft notes, this fighting technique is obviously not simple.
He silently raised the importance of the fighting technique in his heart, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Huh."
Tang Qi finally breathed evenly after exhaling for a long time, and the pain like needles disappeared.
He glanced at the corpses on the ground and recalled the details of his actions just now to confirm that he had not left anything like fingerprints.
"Let's go."
Then indifferently, he turned and left without hesitation. Sally hurried to follow.
As for the three gangster corpses, Tang Qi neither called the police nor intended to destroy the corpses.
The surface of Meilsa City was very peaceful, but Bronk District was openly chaotic.
Here, robbery and murder were as normal as eating and drinking.
It is said that every morning, the Bronk Police Department would send out a hearse to drag away the corpses that died in various dark alleys or gunfight scenes overnight.
Unless they were brightly dressed residents, the police would have the coroner examine the corpses and investigate them.
If they were gangsters or gang members, they would be dragged directly to the crematorium.
However, it did not matter even if the police came to the door afterwards. Strictly speaking, Tang Qi's behavior counted as "courageous and righteous" without any sequelae.
...
On the dim and messy streets, Tang Qi let Sally walk in front to lead the way, while he followed beside with a calm expression, as if he was not affected by the previous incident at all.
Only he knew how violent the aftermath in his heart was at the moment.
Killing people in close combat, three at once.
Although the process was not bloody or violent, the Cha-Ka fighting technique was vicious once it started.
After all, three fresh lives had become cold and dim in his hands. Tang Qi had just been hot-blooded, his skills had been activated, and he had entered an eerily calm state. Now that he sobered up, he immediately felt extremely shocked.
If it weren't for the warm breath slowly surging out from Tang Qi's mind at this moment, flowing slowly through his limbs and body, Tang Qi would probably have completely collapsed now.
After a long time, Tang Qi regained his calmness under the influence of the Furnace Spiritual Power.
It was not until this time that Tang Qi noticed something very strange.
He could remain calm after killing because of his adult mentality, special experience and the meditation method in his mind mixed together.
Then how did the previous Sally do it?
Tang Qi killed three people with his own hands in front of her, although to save her. An ordinary girl should not be able to take Tang Qi home in such a situation?
"Perhaps she is not an ordinary girl."
Tang Qi recalled Sally's calm performance in the face of three crazy gangsters before.
Facing the impending tragedy, the first thing that came to mind was not screaming or begging for mercy, but suicide. This was obviously impossible for an ordinary girl, especially a high school girl.
Although Tang Qi was thinking about these things in his heart, his face remained calm.
He did not ask or mention what had happened before.
All the way to Sally's home, the shadows of the two were stretched very long by the moonlight, and the rest of the road was smooth without any bloody events.
About ten minutes later, the two stopped in front of a small building.
It was a cramped blue brick building sandwiched between two larger brick buildings with gaps less than twenty centimeters. The mottled walls, old iron gates and rusty fire escapes were typical of tenement buildings in the slums.
"I...I'm home."
Standing in front of the big iron gate, Sally was still in the appearance of a frightened little rabbit, speaking in a low voice.
Although she had very good conditions, unfortunately, due to her personality and family background, she could only become a tacky and often bullied role.
Judging from various details, Tang Qi could see that Sally's family was probably even worse off than an average family. There must be something special to develop her personality.
She could enter Saint Crown High School for only one reason: this girl was very smart.
Unlike Tang Qi who got in through the back door, she probably got in by acing the exam.
Tang Qi now tried his best to play the role of a high school student with a natural attitude, such as making friends.
The girl in front of him was Tang Qi's first friend at Saint Crown High School.
If he were a normal boy, he probably wouldn't choose to befriend such a tacky, eccentric girl who was rejected by the school's popular students.
However, Tang Qi did not mind.
With this thought, Tang Qi smiled faintly, reached out and rubbed Sally's messy golden hair, and said with a smile: "Go back. Let me know if you need anything. I can send you home. After all, you are my first friend at Saint Crown High School. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Ah~"
As soon as Tang Qi finished speaking, the girl in front of him immediately raised her head in joy, revealing a bright smile under the black-rimmed glasses and obscured her beautiful face. Her eyes, which had been dim due to fright, showed moving charm at this moment.
