Chapter 15: The Visage Canine of Bronx
Chapter 15: The Visage Canine of Bronx
Tang Qi tried to maintain a calm pose as he looked at the last box casually.
Inside was a pistol with an exaggerated design: the terribly huge caliber, the pitch-black gun body and grip that were as black as ink, and a blood-red pattern extending all the way from the barrel to its rear.
If it weren't for the obvious wear and tears, it could surpass most of the antique guns on the scene just by its design.
From his side, the manager's voice traveled over with a deep regret.
"Monster Firearm Company, it was disbanded a hundred years ago. The last production line produced only ninety-nine Blood Python No.1 pistols. Truly, monster-level weapons. Before it, the hard skull of humans became as soft as tofu. It was so powerful that it could kill rhinoceroses close-up."
"Every piece of Blood Python No.1 had taken a lot of lives in wars. And this, in particular, was rumored to have killed a real monster.
"It's a pity that because of unknown reasons, it is not working anymore and can only be appreciated as artwork."
At the same time the store manager's voice entered his ears, a special interface was emitting a faint glow in Tang Qi's slightly lowered eyes.
[Mysterious Object: Blood Python No.1]
[Information Fragment 1: The once ordinary weapon was contaminated with the blood of the monster it killed and successfully metamorphosed into a supernatural weapon. However, because the metamorphosis was interrupted, it is now in a sealed state and can be decrypted.]
[Information Fragment 2: Decryption Method Smear with supernatural blood. After three seconds, it will be restored.]
"Supernatural blood?" Tang Qi murmured as if he had thought of something, his eyes shining faintly.
On the surface, Tang Qi smiled shyly and said to the manager: "My father likes weapons that have been baptized with blood and fire. Is there anything similar to this? I want to take a look at them. If not, I will be buying this."
As he was talking, Tang Qi pointed at that Blood Python No.1.
Seeing Tang Qi had already decided on an item, he was very unwilling to bring out too much of his collection. However, because of "divine graces"[E/N: gold coins], he instructed his hot service staff to make another trip to the inventory room.
However, only a few boxes were brought out this time.
After opening them, there were indeed some weapons that gave off an aura of war, and even a machine gun that was about to fall apart.
Unfortunately, none of them met Tang Qi's requirements.
"Last month in the firearm hall of the Moses Auction House, the same Blood Python No.1 was priced at a thousand divine graces. I will give you a 10% discount. You can take away this beautiful baby for 900 gold coins. On top of it, I will give you three boxes of original factory manufactured bullets."
"Your credit card, please!"
Upon hearing the price, Tang Qi immediately handed over his gold credit card.
After some time, under the dazzling smile of the store manager and the envious gazes of the customers, Tang Qi left that special gun store with a box.
After Tang Qi got on the bus and found a place to sit down, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but finally curl up slightly.
Nine hundred condor gold coins. This was a very expensive gun, equivalent to a year of expenses for a wealthy family.
But to Tang Qi, it was nothing.
Especially when these gold coins were able to buy things such as an ordinary antique gun that was in fact a mysterious object, the price paid was actually a bargain.
His purpose was originally to buy weapons to protect himself. Even if he bought firearms, Tang Qi was not sure whether these firearms could cause harm to the monsters in the supernatural realm.
But now, Tang Qi felt that he had exceeded his goal.
Ordinary firearms might be doubtful, but if it was a supernatural firearm, the outcome would definitely be different.
Now what Tang Qi had to do was find a way to decrypt it.
The bus merged into traffic and soon separated from it as it went past some road signs. Tang Qi's current home was a small brick building in Holy Thorns High School. Thus, there was no need to go to the villa in the suburbs. Soon, he arrived at the bus stop closest to the school.
With a groan, Tang Qi got off the bus with the box and slowly walked towards the campus that was two streets away.
After walking through a brightly lit street, the street lights of the next street were not working, and a large dark area emerged.
Plod!
Just as Tang Qi stepped into the area with one foot, a familiar feeling, at least ten times more intense than the previous time, suddenly swept over.Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
The hairs on the back of his neck and hands stood up. The strong sense of impending danger made Tang Qi retreat abruptly as he subconsciously looked towards the end of darkness.
Whrrng.
Clack~clack clack!
Tang Qi saw it in one glance.
A mottled wild dog with a weird body shape slowly walked over. It was so skinny that it was just skin and bones. Either that was how it originally looked, or it had lost a lot of weight.
But now it appeared as though it was getting filled with air. Under the gaze of Tang Qi, it expanded bit by bit.
As it walked, its limbs twitched and twisted as disgusting saliva drooled. It revealed its yellow fangs, while its yellow eyes with bloody pupils stared straight at Tang Qi.
"Hiss~This is?"
Tang Qi stepped back, unable to contain the surprise on his face.
It was not due to seeing a wild dog. Rather, at this moment, Tang Qi saw a human face on it.
To be precise, it was the face of the drug addict who died by Tang Qi's hand not too long ago.
However, after growing on the dog's face, it had become extremely distorted and resentful.
Step by step, it moved toward Tang Qi, and that dangerous and strange feeling suddenly surged.
"Roar"
A roar traveled over as the mad dog exploded in rage.
Tang Qi saw a black shadow pouncing towards him, so fast that he was unable to catch hold of it. Its putrid breath was mixed with a very strong smell of blood, almost knocking Tang Qi out.
At that moment, Tang Qi's eyes widened suddenly. The special interface appeared again in his eyes.
[Supernatural Creature:The Visage Canine of Bronx]
[Status: Growing]
[Information Fragment 1: A hungry wild dog, three delicious bodies, and a vicious soul. When the Spirit Tide arrived, they formed the Visage Canine of Bronx]
[Information Fragment 2: It is still in the process of growing. If it continues to consume flesh, it will become much more powerful.]
As these two pieces of information entered his view, Tang Qi's pupils immediately contracted. His legs were like antelopes of the grassland. With a step back, he turned and hid behind a lamppost.
Tang Qi's movement, which was born out of the Chaga Fighting Technique, was extremely fast.
However, he heard the sounds of screeching. Half of his sleeve was ripped off, and he was struck by a chilling sensation.
There was another strong breeze in front of him. Tang Qi could imagine it without opening his eyes. A stinky, withered, and yellowish dog mouth, perhaps with bits of human flesh, was lunging for his neck.
Bang!
Tang Qi's body retreated in an incredulous manner again. At the same time he dodged the dog's mouth, his leg lashed at the mad dog's waist like a whip.
Similar to wolves, the waist was its most vulnerable spot.
Tang Qi had given his all in this kick. Even a real wolf would be killed.
However, what entered his eyes next was a dull echo and a heart-piercing pain from his toes.
"Run!"
Just by this encounter, Tang Qi confirmed that he was not this strange crazy dog's match.
He suppressed the pain from his toes, which felt like they had been fractured. Without hesitation, he turned and ran towards the campus.
