Lord of Enigma

Chapter 44: A Letter of Appointment from the Moses City Police Department

No hostility!

And not a stranger!

Tang Qi thought as he went downstairs to the door.

The power of the furnace? Or perhaps when his mental power became much stronger, he was not only sensitive to human emotions but also sensitive to changes in the environment. Instead of opening the door immediately, Tang Qi looked through the peephole but saw an unexpected figure.

"Sergeant Stana, you"

Tang Qi didn't finish even saying hello, and there was a contract-like document in front of him. "Wow."

The contract was handed over by Stana, that female sergeant with a tall figure. It was clearly the middle of the night, and she seemed quite worn out by her journey. She wore a long black trench coat with black trousers and a chiffon blouse. She did not have time to clean up the mud on her shoes.

Rushed here from a far-away place?

Tang Qi took the contract. Before waiting for him to take a closer look, Stana started explaining.

"Little Mr. Tang, I now represent the Moses City Police Department and formally hire you as our special advisor.

"Please don't refuse first. This matter is very important.

"Since that sea monster case, there have been more and more strange cases in Moses City. At first, there were just some cases of people getting injured by wild beasts. Later, people started to disappear, one after another. There were some who reported seeing ghosts.

"The police station has only ordinary policemen who are completely unable to cope with ghosts. After reporting to upper management, the response is that unless there are over a hundred deaths or injuries, management will not dispatch special forces to help.

"The police station has managed to cope for the time being. But now, there is a major case that normal people are unable to cope with.

"In Moses University, since seven days ago, there has been one death every day. The first day was a cleaner, the second day a gardener, the third day a guard. The fourth, fifth, and sixth days were two students and a trainee teacher, respectively.

"And today, an honorary professor died.

"This case happened some time ago, but after the professor's death today, it has become almost unstoppable. Soon, the entire Moses City will know and at the same time, condemn the police's incompetence.

"This doesn't matter. The real headache for the police station is"

"You are unable to stop people from dying!" Tang Qi finally interrupted.

At this point, he also understood a little of Stana's intentions.

This female sergeant looked quite worn out from her journey, probably because she rushed here from Moses University.

Although Moses University was one of the landmarks of Moses City, it was located in the suburbs, unlike Holy Thorns High School. With stable supporting measures, a small town attached to the university was formed. The beautiful scenery, combined with its strong cultural atmosphere, was enough for it to be ranked as one of the top three universities in Exquisite Phoenix Prefecture.

During the case of the sea monster, Tang Qi and the sergeant had an agreement that he would not take her into that supernatural world.

With the proud and mature character of this female sergeant, she would not come to Tang Qi, if the situation was not critical.

Tang Qi glanced at the so-called "letter of appointment" and vaguely understood that the atmosphere at Moses University at this time was probably tenser than Holy Thorns High School a few days ago.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make Stana use a fake contract to deceive Tang Qi.

That's right, the contract was fake.

Perhaps it was done in a rush, such that there were problems in the details of the contract brought by Stana.

If Tang Qi was a poor kid, he probably would be unable to spot it.

However, be it the original Tang Qi or Tang Qi himself, his knowledge was not bad, and now he had an extremely keen perception. Stana was in a state of great anxiety in front of him. Those deliberately suppressed heartbeats were unable to deceive Tang Qi's ears.

If Tang Qi had just arrived in this world, his first thought would be to reject when faced with "big trouble".

But the scene that was unfolding in front of him right now was actually expected by Tang Qi.

Knowing that the return of the Spirit Tide was certain and that the mystical realm was about to create huge waves in this world again, Tang Qi knew it was impossible to hide and practice silently.

The most important reason was he did not have a complete legacy.

No doubt the Golden Furnace Meditation Method was very powerful, but apart from it, there was nothing else.

Tang Qi had to strike out on his own and take the initiative to cause troubles and deal with them, gaining benefits along the way.

Realizing these, Tang Qi secretly laid out several preemptive moves.

If everything went well, it might be possible to generate several growth paths for Tang Qi to choose from.

The huge gains tonight proved that Tang Qi's plan worked.

Big risks brought along big rewards.

Especially with a powerful temporary shelter like Holy Thorns High School, Tang Qi's advantage was significant.

Now, the emergence of Stana represented another path.

Police advisor!

This was a very good identity compared with the "Thorn Apprentice". Although he was unable to obtain the protection of the mysterious power of Thorns High, but outside of school, he could get the help of officials with this identity even though they might just be ordinary policemen.

But sometimes, their importance could not be overlooked.

If not for that skin, it would have been impossible for Stana to "steal" the two furnace bullets from him.

Now, his reward had arrived.

Although it was just a fake contract, Tang Qi was certain he could make it real.

Moreover, he should take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits.

Just as he thought until here, Tang Qi reached out and took the fake contract.

As he spent quite some time considering, Stana was worried that this knowledgeable high school student who possessed supernatural power might not agree to it. She turned into the persona of a serious elder sister and began to persuade. "I know that you have a large sum of money now. But you are still young and can't be idling around with your life."

"A good salary, and it allows you to continue your research in the mysterious realm. This simply suits you. Take a look"

Before Stana could finish, Tang Qi suddenly stretched out three fingers.

"Three conditions on top of what is inside the contract, and you will have my acceptance."

"First, every time I encounter a mysterious case, I have the right to any items produced during the process. The police can have those I don't need."

"Second, I won't participate in battles. I only serve as a case advisor and provide advice."

"Third, double my pay."

"No problem!"

When Tang Qi finished talking about his conditions, Stana agreed almost immediately.

After Stana quickly added the three new conditions to the contract, the two shook hands and laughed.

Watching as Tang Qi put the "fake contract" solemnly in his carry-on backpack, Stana, this cold and indifferent elder sister, finally revealed a big smile. The corner of her mouth contained the pride and shrewdness after successfully pulling off a long-planned scheme.

During the amendment of the contract, when the second condition of Tang Qi was added, several additional conditions were attached to it as well. She told Tang Qi that as he was still young and not suitable to fight, she could do it for him. However, Tang Qi must supply those supernatural bullets. If required, he had to provide special supernatural training for her.

Tang Qi agreed with a smile to all these additional conditions.

Stana was very excited. Since that night, she had been tormented by her desire for the mysterious realm until she became slightly crazed.

Now, she had almost succeeded.

However, she was still short of one final step. Stana knew that this was a false letter of appointment. Before solving the murders at Moses University, she could not convince her boss to hire a high school student as an advisor.

Hence, she had to quickly take this little guy to Moses University to solve the case.

Faced with the anxious request of Stana, Tang Qi agreed. He swiftly packed his luggage and got into Stana's police car, heading towards that small town in the suburbs.

Stana was so anxious that she did not even notice that this high school student in her passenger seat also had a faint smile in the corner of his mouth.
