Chapter 85: The Shepherd
Chapter 85: The Shepherd
Another extra chapter from Ko-Fi, give special thanks to ShadowDuke!
With the death of the young amber dealer, the murder case in Central Park came to an end. After handing over the cleaning work to the police officers, Tang Qi and Stana returned to the police station, and it was just before noon.
It took him the better part of the morning to solve a supernatural murder case, an efficiency that the female police chief would surely be pleased with
Soon, the logistics team followed the two.
Renee and Gideon, plus some new staff members, just returned from the scene with a look mixed with excitement and fear. Of course, it was mostly the former, they ordered pizza, and gathered together to discuss the disgusting scene.
Nathan and Javier failed to participate this time but still joined them enthusiastically.
If ordinary people walked into this office area, they might think they were a group of psychos.
As a special consultant of the police station, Tang Qi, who looked like a high school student, actually had an independent office. The set-up inside was even better than that of Stana's. However, neither of them cooped up in their offices. Instead, they got together with everyone, just not participating in the discussion.
While Tang Qi was savoring the pizza, Stana was maintaining her "Wine Red Rhino", and then, one by one counted the two types of furnace bullets provided by him, her expression was as if they were the most precious treasures.
Her look of concentration made Tang Qi a little ashamed. His Blood Python One was actually an extraordinary firearm that was far more powerful than the Wine Red Rhino, but Tang Qi hasn't maintained it for some time. As for the bullets, they could be used at any time. Anyway, it wasn't difficult to make them.
Thanks to the recent influx of materials, Tang Qi was even considering creating some new extraordinary bullets, in addition to secret medicine.
It's just that the sea monster bullets and furnace bullets were a little dull.
But it was still in the consideration stage because he was extremely busy.
Routine meditation, practicing martial arts, creating secret medicines, taking classes, fulfilling the duties of a police consultant, and investigating the abnormalities of the Samra family. Tang Qi had a feeling that he must choose between some events.
If priority was given, cultivation and investigation were definitely at the top.
"Should I find an assistant?"
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he shook his head and suppressed it.
Although at that moment, many figures flashed in his mind.
He could choose between the people in front of him, especially Stana who has stepped halfway into the mystical side. To a certain extent, she was already his assistant, of course, this was not acknowledged by him.
In addition, there was Sally, which made Tang Qi very perturbed.
In terms of supernatural talent, Tang Qi felt that he might not be comparable to Sally. After all, the girl was selected by the witch of misfortune right after birth. After more than ten years of nurturing, a witch sub-personality was born. If the two merged, it was almost foreseeable that a powerful witch would be born.
Or, is it a terrible demon?
However, it was just a thought. Not to mention that he was still in crisis, even without the threat of the Samra family, if he made Sally into his assistant, in addition to facing the witch of misfortune, he also had to deal with an unknown witch force.
According to the information fragment prompts on the glasses, Sally was already booked by the "Witches".
"For the time being, I don't seem to have room to relax and think about other things before solving the current crisis."
After ending his contemplation, Tang Qi finished the last bite of pizza.
After washing his hands and wiping his mouth, he said something to the crowd and then turned back to his office.
It was a break at noon, so he didn't need to think of the cases for the time being.
Tang Qi didn't really take a rest. He meditated quietly for a while and dispelled those messy thoughts, he took out the magic hair knot, gathered his mental power, and began to patiently smoothen the hairs of different colors.
To some extent, this was also a kind of cultivation.
Tang Qi can feel that although he had not entered the state of meditation, but in the process of unraveling and developing the knot, his mental strength had increased slightly.
Under the guidance of Tang Qi's dexterous fingers, the tangled hairs spread out, exposing one of the knots inside. To his surprise, this time he met a total of four tangled hair knots.
"How vicious!"
Tang Qi said under his breath.
After obtaining the magic hair knit for a while, Tang Qi gradually figured out some of the rules of this mystical object.
For example, the tangled hair strands each represent a person, and the reason why they were entangled was that they were killed at a similar time, or died in the hands of the same "Gregory self-portrait" slave.
So the knot in front of him meant that a certain self-portrait slave was very diligently dedicated to the four beautiful girls.
Although the four hair knots were entangled in a complicated manner, it did not bother him.
About ten minutes later, the complex hair knot entangled with four hairs gradually spread apart, and the red, yellow, black, and white hairs dissipated together.
Hum!
At the same time, In front of Tang Qi, four beautiful phantoms appeared.
A red-haired freckled girl, a girl with yellow hair braids, a black-haired girl, and lastly, a white-haired girl which was very rare.
Like the previous girls, all four bowed to Tang Qi and then began to disappear in the air. However, the white-haired girl who was on the thin side floated towards him at the last moment and kissed him gently on the forehead.
Along with a somewhat familiar sense of coldness, a mass of information fragments appeared in his mind.
[You have acquired a piece of knowledge! ]
[You have learned Antioch! ]
Tang Qi's mind automatically began to digest the information. At the same time, he stood up and bowed to the four girls. Then he silently thanked the white-haired girl.
He learned another language, but this one is different from the language given by the two Mohawk girls last time.
Strictly speaking, Antioch should be regarded as a special whistle. It was a variant of the Venetian language, one of the oldest languages in the Europa continent. The letters and syllables correspond to different tones and frequencies, and the whistle can be transmitted several kilometers away.
Learning this language can also hide a lot of information in the whistle, and at certain moments, it can exert special effects.
Most importantly, it also involved the extraordinary field.
A special piece of information flowed through Tang Qi's mind.
[Information Fragment: Antioch is one of the favorite languages used by the professional jobholder "shepherd", especially with the demise of the Antioch tribe, fewer and fewer people are fluent in this language, and it is becoming more and more popular among the Shepherd Class Specialists. ]
"Shepherd, a new profession."
Tang Qi whispered, mulling over the information contained in it.
