Lord of Enigma

Extra release from ShadowDuke by Ko-Fi!

"Where will the official come from? Certainly, he won't be a native from Moses City, perhaps he's from the Exquisite Phoenix State?"

"What kind of person is it? Combat oriented, support,or a special person who is only knowledgeable and doesn't have extraordinary power?"

Many thoughts flashed through Tang Qi's mind, but due to the limited information, Tang Qi's thoughts couldn't diverge far. But soon he determined what kind of appearance, or human design, he wanted to appear with in front of the unknown official.

He put away and locked his equipment, such as the Blood Python One, Hagrid's Resentment, and the Human Skin Cream. Then he put on a student's costume with a rich book-worm atmosphere and a pair of black frame glasses.

When he appeared in front of the floor-standing mirror, the former black hunter disappeared without a trace and was replaced by an ordinary high school student. In the case of Tang Qi deliberately hiding it, no one could tell that he possessed the powers of meditation and fighting skills.

After everything was settled, including the trap in the safe, Tang Qi informed Professor Kassel and quickly left the house.

In the middle of the night, most of the buses were off duty, so he found a carriage on the corner of the street and paid ten times more than when riding a bus. With the sound of "jingling", he rushed to the St. Thorns Hospital.

Compared with the Moses Police Station, St. Thorns Hospital was more modern. After all, it was a new building that had just been built for less than ten years.

But there was one thing similar to the police station here, that was, even at night, it was still brightly lit.

Tang Qi got off the carriage and was seen by Nathan who was waiting outside the hospital. The strong man looked anxious and directly came over to drag him to the hospital.

As they walked, he told him more details.

"Tonight, we received a notice that the higher-ups asked us to transport those mystical objects, which were ones you didn't want, to the Exquisite Phoenix State. Our team and Stana escorted them together. There was no problem at first and everything went smoothly."

"But as soon as we left the City of Moses, we were attacked by a mysterious person. It was a weird man with a white mask. He was infinitely powerful and terribly fast. Our team was no match for him at all. Stana then launched a sneak attack and repelled him."

"But before the man left, he suddenly threw a weird flower bud at Stana. Then the flower bud exploded, and Stana became…"

Sadness and anger were written all over Nathan's face. He could imagine that something dangerous and unimaginable must've happened to Stana. Otherwise, Nathan wouldn't be like this, not even being able to describe it.

The two came to the fourth floor of the hospital, in the intensive care unit.

After arriving, Tang Qi saw everyone in the intensive care unit. The police chief, Gideon, Renee, and others were all there. When Tang Qi came over, they made way for him. When Tang Qi walked past, the female police chief came up to him.

Instead of letting Tang Qi enter the innermost ward directly, she said, "The special person from the top has arrived first and is currently treating Stana. We better not disturb them, if you want to see, come with me."

Then she led Tang Qi to a glass cubicle.

Through a layer of glass, Tang Qi could see everything inside clearly.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still surprised by the scene in the ICU. At the same time, he also understood why Nathan couldn't describe this scene. For a while, it was really difficult to find the right language.

"Boom ~ Boom Boom"

Tang Qi's heart beat a few times violently.

Because of the scene in the ward, he didn't immediately see Stana who was supposed to appear, but what he saw in his eyes was a small sea of ​​flowers. Coquettish and bright red flowers grew out of the very thin vines, surrounded and clustered together, flooding the entire intensive care unit.

These flowers were bright red like blood and had an indescribable power of charm. As long as you glanced at it, it was difficult to look away.

It was a strange aura that made people want to immerse themselves in it.

They seemed to have a life of their own, swaying and rolling continuously, whispering some dreamlike temptations. Even a layer of glass couldn't stop those sounds from penetrating out, making people want to follow the sound into the sea of flowers.

Tang Qi turned his head to look at the female police chief. She came well prepared, there was some white cotton in her ears, and she was wearing sunglasses.

In the swaying flowers, a red-haired woman lay.

Her burgundy hair spread out, and her already fair face was unusually pale, and some of her exposed skin was completely entangled and covered with vines and flowers. At this time, Stana was like a legendary fairy among the flowers, or perhaps, the most perfect and bizarre piece of art.

It was just that anyone could see that she was not far from death.

A pair of old palms suddenly plucked a bunch of flowers, revealing a thin vine spreading inside the fair skin below. It seemed to be slowly wriggling, and every time it moved, the dark crimson blood would leave Stana's body, and then enter the incomparable beautiful flowers.

They swayed more happily, and the faint echoing of songs could be heard in the air.

Tang Qi immediately looked at the owner of the old palms, a well-dressed old gentleman, with a pair of glasses and an amiable face, as if he was smiling all the time, releasing a peace of mind. Beside him stood a young man who seemed like an assistant.

He was tall, with curly hair, handsome, and with a hint of righteousness.

The two of them also felt that the scene in front of them was very tricky. They didn't dare to touch her casually, but they carefully walked around the flower bushes, as if looking for something.

Obviously, these two were the officials who came from the Exquisite Phoenix State to receive them. Tang Qi didn't feel a hint of threat from the old man. The young man, on the other hand, gave him a sense of foreboding, which meant that if there was a battle, he might hurt himself.

At first glance, he didn't obtain much information.

However, at this moment, he didn't immediately focus on the two to obtain more pieces of information.

Instead, he took a deep breath, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. Finally, he focused his gaze on Stana.

“This is my ‘shield’, how can I let her die so easily?”

He said silently, as a peculiar interface was formed by dots of dim lights in front of his eyes.

[Mystical Object: Blood Demon Flower. ]

[Status: Growing. ]

Information Fragment 1: A strange object contaminated by the power of an unknown evil god. It will explode if triggered by an external force, and will automatically parasitize the nearby life. It will suck all the blood of the host and eventually bloom into the most beautiful flower. ]

[Information Fragment 2: When it finishes sucking the host's blood, each blood demon flower will wither and continuously release highly toxic gases. All living creatures within a few kilometers will die. ]

"Hiss~"

When the second piece of information flowed over, the pupils in Tang Qi's eyes shrank suddenly, and the next moment, as the third piece of information appeared, and an unintentional movement of the young man in the ICU, Tang Qi's breathing immediately became faster than ever.
