Lord of Enigma

"Can't this idiot stop his old habits. If he's not dead this time, I'll beat him to death myself. I can't tolerate such a stupid subordinate anymore. I…"

This detective named Vader seemed to have known where his missing subordinate was off to and appeared extremely furious.

To the shock of even Tang Qi, this policeman who was very horrified at the creepiness and terror of the scene previously actually rushed in at an extremely rapid speed to save his subordinate. His chubby body agilely passed through the cordon line and then kicked the door open with a bang.

Behind him, everyone followed rapidly.

From the angry words of Detective Vader and the looks of disdain on Nathan and Javier, the missing policeman James was probably a "pilfering" policeman who liked to take some small things of inconsiderable value from the crime scene and who didn't change his ways despite multiple warnings.

For him to make it as a policeman despite such an unhealthy habit, he either had good case-solving abilities or very good luck.

But this time, he clearly had no luck.

When the party followed Vader into the gate, the scene in the living room made the detective who was ferocious just a second ago lose all his courage instantly. A terrible cold aura penetrated his whole body like he had fallen into icy water.

It was not his fault, because the same happened to Nathan, Javier, and others.

In the packed living room was the answer to why Policeman James could only make one single scream and nothing more.

Not because he died immediately, but because he couldn't scream anymore.

His mouth was full.

A man with curly hair in a police uniform was suspended in mid-air. His head was slightly lifted, leaning against the beautiful, charming figure of a red-headed girl in a red dress. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was pretty and coquettish.

The two were kissing.

This scene was simply beautiful, if not for what happened in the next moment.

"Phew~"

The body of Officer James seemed to be rapidly swelling, as though the girl in red dress was breathing air into his mouth.

With every breath, his body swelled up.

In just one or two seconds, James swelled into a big ball of flesh.

That was when the party kicked open the door and rushed in.

So they witnessed the birth of a "firework of flesh" together.

Bang!

Without warning, James blew up.

In the girl's arms, in the middle of the kiss, he burst.

Like a brilliant firework, all of him was released in death.

Really all. Flesh, blood, bones, organs, skin… even the brain — they were splattered in all directions.

When the several police officers nearby were affected, one thought came to their minds at the same time: now I finally know how such a terrible scene came to be.

When everyone was stunned, the girl with red hair actually groaned in a way that made one's whole body heated.

The girl's whole body was covered with pieces of flesh and blood. Another mystery was solved: the reason why the dress and hair of the girl were red.

Because they were colored by blood.

And the flesh that dropped onto the girl's skin was strangely slowly absorbed. Soon, snow-white skin reappeared.

The charming girl twisted her body; her red lips opened and closed; her bright red tongue constantly emerged to lick the flesh and blood at the side of her mouth. All the men at the scene fell into the most embarrassing form of terror.

"Ah~

"What a wonderful feeling, how beautiful, how strong.

"More, I need more."

Boom!

There was a shot. It was Stana.

A red bullet directly shattered the girl's scalp.

Before the explosion, there was still a trace of pleasure and final surprise on her face.

But before everyone showed relaxation, a strange, gloomy wind blew, and the body that lost its head didn't dissipate, or fall from the air. Instead, blood boiled, and soon, another head solidified on the neck.

The reborn girl immediately started screaming.

"Psst… AHHHHH!"

Sound waves so strong it might as well be visible raged across the old room. Everyone covered their ears in pain.

All except Tang Qi, who was still standing, well as ever.

In his eyes, a special interface suddenly came out.

[Extraordinary Creature: Evil Spirit of Blood Splatters]

[Status: Angry]

[Information Fragment 1: The evil spirit from another world was summoned by a joke-like ritual by a lady. It killed her friend, the little boy she was taking care of, as well as the two parents who returned late, along with her herself.]

[Information Fragment 2: As an evil spirit, its hobby is to bathe in a firework of flesh and blood. It can ignore physical harm from bullets or in other forms. Ordinary supernatural powers are hardly able to completely kill it as well. The corresponding dispelling spell may be able to send it back, but having already bathed in several fireworks, it may not be willing to leave.]

When these information fragments passed through his eyes, Tang Qi was already clear about what happened in this house.

Indeed, it was the story of someone bringing tragedy on herself.

A young nanny called her friend over to play at an evil spirit-summoning ritual after her employers' child was asleep. It was meant to only be a bit of excitement at night, yet it successfully summoned an Evil Spirit of Blood Splatters. It killed everyone present including the child who was fast asleep, as well as the master and mistress who returned home afterward.

Only the flesh and blood of so many people could produce such a terrible scene.

After understanding everything, Tang Qi looked at the evil spirit that was still screaming, suddenly helped Stana beside him stand up, and covered her ears with his hands. A warm golden light flashed, making Stana immune to the power of the evil spirit for a short period.

At the same time, Tang Qi's voice came with difficulty.

"Stana, continue. Use the furnace bullets. She was summoned by accident. The bullets can't kill her, but you can weaken her. I'll go and get the magic book. There has to be a spell for sending her back in there."

"Three seconds, please hold it for me."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before Tang Qi finished his sentence, Stana already decisively made continuous shots.

At the same time, Tang Qi went across the floor covered in flesh and blood rapidly and ran towards the sofa at one side of the living room.

Underneath, there was indeed the corner of a very thick and old-looking magic book visible.

"Stop, or I'll eat you!"

Bang!

The evil spirit roared to Tang Qi before her head was shattered once again.

But her headless body subconsciously flew towards Tang Qi. A white pair of arms reached towards Tang Qi. The speed was very fast. Tang Qi could only choose to dodge, let Stana continue to break up her body, and wait for the next opportunity.

Or he could go and pick up the spellbook.

Tang Qi chose the latter without hesitation.

A magic book that could summon evil spirits!

If it was real, its value was even higher than the secret pharmaceutical knowledge that he recently gained.

Moreover, he did not feel a terrible threat from this evil spirit.

He even silently held back some of his powers of the furnace in order not to directly kill the evil spirit.

When the white arms went and caught Tang Qi, he also picked up the magic book and opened it up very quickly. The look of disappointment mixed with a little bit of surprise showed in Tang Qi's eyes.

It was also at this moment that the extremely charming head of the evil spirit was generated in front of Tang Qi.

The distance between the two was very close, so close that Stana did not dare to shoot.

The evil spirit only needed to stick out its tongue to lick Tang Qi's face.

"Such a tasty human. Relax, I will make you the most splendid fireworks. It will be extremely wonderful."

After that, she came forward to kiss Tang Qi.

At the same time, a wicked force from the evil spirit came wrapping towards Tang Qi. All the previous humans had stiffened under this force.

Unfortunately, it was different this time.

A pair of powerful arms grabbed her violently. A faint buzz that was nevertheless extremely strong sounded between Tang Qi's palm and the evil spirit's body.

In everyone else's eyes, Tang Qi gained the powers of the magic book.

He pushed the evil spirit aside. The magic book floated in front of him, and lines of words shining with white light appeared. Tang Qi murmured, seemingly reciting spells.

Only the spirit, who was close, knew that the boy wasn't reciting the spell of dispelling at all.

It also knew that while it was easy to summon an evil spirit, the spell alone was not enough to send it away.

Yet the boy didn't plan to send her away to begin with.

It clearly heard the words the teenager said…

"I prefer the eternal sun to fireworks.

"Would you like to add some fuel for me?"

Boom!

Clearly, Tang Qi wasn't really asking for the permission of Miss Evil Spirit, because in the instant he finished speaking, the power of the furnace inside Tang Qi already rushed out violently.
