Lord of Enigma

"Sure enough, my guess was right."

"The first spree was a lucky illusion."

Tucked away in the shadow of a chimney over one of the empty shells of the factory grave, Tang Qi stared across a large area. The dark night could not stop him from peeking.

But at this moment, there was no "fuel" within his sight to be picked up.

This situation had lasted for nearly an hour.

At present, except for the Human Centipede's resentful spirit at the beginning, Tang Qi only received a huge Visage Canine resentful spirit, and then there was no follow-up.

Those polluters who had swarmed out of the nest hadn't returned for a long time. It was impossible that all of them had an accident or any other mishaps. There was a higher possibility that their capture didn't go smoothly and they hadn't gained anything, so they naturally wouldn't come back to hand over the task.

And Tang Qi, who was guarding the outer area of the tomb, fell into a state of boredom.

That was not the case last night.

Although he was a little unwilling, his reason told him that it was normal.

With the return of the spirit tide, and the violent revival of the mystical side, this would indeed cause a spike of freaks to appear. Perhaps the "dark ages" that were recorded in those books, where monsters went rampant and humans were no longer the only protagonists, will once again cover the entire world.

But this didn't mean that endless freaks and monsters would be born at the beginning, especially when there were requirements.

The target of the polluters was extremely clear.

It should be freaks with flesh and blood. Abnormals like evil spirits, resentful spirits, or other phenomena would not be selected.

Moreover, it must be in the area of ​​Moses City.

Restricted by many conditions, their harvest would naturally become less and less.

"A good thing without any labor isn't always sustainable."

Tang Qi muttered to himself, but his mood was not affected at all.

If it was someone else, they'd probably be a little disappointed after losing such a large pile of benefits.

But Tang Qi merely sighed.

Coincidently, another group of polluters finally appeared on a dark street farther away.

It was a team of four with severe injuries. Each of them had amputated limbs, which were then replaced with vines. The polluter leading them had his skull ripped open, and through the damaged mask, one could still clearly see the grayish-white brain inside it.

Even so, he showed no signs of death.

Together with the other three polluters, he used a hook to drag an abnormally tall woman.

She was similar to a deformed actress in a circus, close to three meters in height, and under her ragged and worn-out clothes, the strong grayish-black muscles could be seen vaguely below.

Because of death, her muscles relaxed a bit, but it still looked fearsome. It was hard to imagine the terrifying power these muscles can have when they erupt.

The battle between the two sides was undoubtedly fierce with the polluters triumphing on the other, while the other party's body was intact, but it still looked appalling.

Her resentful spirit slowly drifted out. It was a woman with a sturdy figure wearing a skirt. Her face was extremely ugly as if it had been ravaged by a fire. Under her face half-covered in black hair was a pair of vicious eyes.

"Some kind of urban legend, freak show cannibal girl?"

In Tang Qi's eyes, several pieces of information flowed over.

He didn't take a closer look. At this moment, he appeared above the head of the deformed cannibal girl and pressed on it silently.

…

"Let's go, we don't have to come tomorrow night. The harvest is not worth my time."

When this thought arose in his heart, Tang Qi's eyes were on the dark factory in the distance.

What happened last night appeared again. It was restoring its unassuming appearance, and the deep maliciousness quickly disappeared.

Another night had passed.

Compared with last night, Tang Qi's gains were very few.

Not to mention the feeling of swelling in his head, he didn't even feel full.

Without much reluctance, Tang Qi turned back towards the small building.

At the same time, he also decided not to return for another night. What he gained tonight was probably equivalent to the traps he set himself, and tomorrow might be even more miserable. It was not worth wasting any more time.

Besides, he had already made arrangements for tomorrow night.

As for prying into the dark factory, which was a secret of the Harold Club, this kind of huge event was not something that Tang Qi could intervene in for the time being.

The only thing he was willing to do was to secretly reveal some of the information here to the Old Castle Bureau, and whether he could find the appropriate moment.

After returning to the small building, he took the last bit of time to digest the fuel he had picked up.

He glanced at the progress of the meditation method, 15%.

The harvest has seriously shrunken from last night's 4%, but only 1% was left this time. It was no wonder that Tang Qi was unwilling to continue wasting time.

Of course, compared to honest meditation practice, the efficiency of this method of adding fuel could be considered cheating.

After waking up from his state of meditation, Tang Qi glanced at the morning mist that had appeared outside the window. Then he went straight to the bathroom to freshen up and prepared a simple breakfast for himself.

Just halfway through, the crisp and clear doorbell suddenly rang.

Tang Qi put down the food and as soon as he walked towards the door, he sensed a familiar aura outside.

He opened the door, and it turned out to be the man in black that he saw last time. The calm agent.

There were still two boxes in his hand.

An exquisite black wooden box, and a simple gray wooden box.

Tang Qi took the two boxes at the same time. The gray one should still contain bullets, but the quantity would be half less than last time. In the exquisite black wooden box, was probably the mystic material that he wanted to trade.

"Is it still tomorrow morning, sir?"

"Yes!"

After a brief conversation, the agent in black left directly.

Tang Qi took the boxes to the workbench and put the box with the bullets aside. With a slight movement of his fingers, he opened the black wooden box.

Inside, a heart lay on a piece of silk.

To be precise, a heart that had been dried up under the sun.

A small one, about two thumbs big.

When Tang Qi focused his gaze, an unexpected dark shine immediately emerged, and a special interface came into view.

[Mystical Object: The Heart of a Doppler. ]

[Status: Dried. ]

[Information Fragment 1: From the heart of a Doppler, it's a special and evil extraordinary creature, it's good at hiding in the dark, observing the habits of humans or other creatures, and then killing them, transforming into their appearance and replacing them. ]

[Information Fragment II: After its heart is dried, it's used for secret medicines and casting. At the same time, it's also the favorite taming or demonizing material for class specialists such as spiritual planters, beast tamers, shepherds, and other professions. ]

"Phew!"

The screen appeared and its authenticity was confirmed.

This little dried heart was the secret medicine material that Tang Qi needed.

The many uses in the second information were actually the same. They all needed to extract the "transformation force" from the heart.

Old Coulson probably thought that Tang Qi, a wild artificer, was planning to hit higher levels of difficulty and create his own mystical object, so he needed a Doppler's heart.

But the truth was that Tang Qi had found a very special kind of secret medicine from rummaging through the complicated knowledge of the Primal Secret Pharmacy School.

Its name was…The Second Body Secret Medicine.
