Lord of Enigma

"Sir, I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you."

Halfway kneeling in the carriage, Macauley lowered his head and said in an extremely firm tone, as if this was what he had always wanted.

If someone took a closer look, they would find that Macauley's body was trembling slightly. It was not because he was lying, but because he had not recovered from the excitement.

He was a clever little beggar and had heard some weird legends in the mouths of some old homeless people. At the same time, as a member of the Federation, he naturally also heard the story of the "Twelve Holy Disciples", but he always thought that the story was just a legend.

Until just now, when he drank the bottle of water-like liquid.

It was hard to describe his feelings at that moment. He only knew that if it wasn't for his master who held him down at the critical moment, he wouldn't have been able to control himself. He would've sprang out of the carriage and hovered in the air like a breeze.

This was of course his illusion, and the swift secret medicine could not let him roam through the void.

But it was certain that his crippled foot could no longer affect his speed. Once he moved, what he could unleash was a monster-like speed.

"It’s okay, please come up, you're just working for me, you don’t have to be like this."

Tang Qi looked at Macaulay, who had completely entered his character, and said lightly.

Instead of instilling the command of "loyalty to me", he emphasized to work for me, in order to avoid a backlash by going to the extreme.

What was more, Tang Qi really only needed a loyal subordinate, not a mindless follower.

He could see Macauley's excitement at this time, which was easy to understand.

A teenager with a long-term disability may not care about his movements ability or feel inferior, but it was impossible for him to be completely indifferent.

And the bottle of "Swift Secret Medicine", made up for this defect.

Macauley was only superficially disabled now. Although his speed could not compare to ghosts, at least he could compete with animals like cheetahs.

Of course, it was just speed, and there was no supernatural combat power, at least temporarily.

"You need some time to get used to it. At the same time, you have to hide yourself and your men temporarily. And you don't need to expand anymore, but completely settle down until my next task comes, understood?"

"Yes!"

Macauley agreed without any hesitation.

Before Macauley got off the carriage, something occurred to Tang Qi; his eyes flashed slightly as he added, "After adjusting, you'd better learn some knowledge and some fighting skills. You should have a little self-preservation. "

"Yes, sir."

…

After parting with Macauley, Tang Qi instructed the coachman to return to the Thorns Campus.

He had no hunting plan tonight, nor did he intend to go elsewhere. Except for the old witch, the other members of the family were annihilated by him. He also arranged a "gift" for Samra, and the last loophole had just been blocked.

It seemed that he had finally entered the resting period.

At least, there was no urgent matter to be completed.

"I can finally spend a peaceful night, maybe I can indulge a little tonight, without practicing meditation, prepare a wonderful meal for myself, and then sleep beautifully?"

Tang Qi laughed silently as he heard the sound of galloping in his ears.

Of course that wasn’t what he would do. The first thing he'd do after returning was probably meditation practice.

But before that, it didn't prevent Tang Qi from enjoying the street view of the city.

It was already late into the night, and the sound of the carriage moving forward echoed.

Tang Qi rented a more expensive carriage, which was tall and spacious, and was very suitable for enjoying the street view. Usually, the middle class or working class who came out to play would occasionally ride in this kind of carriage, but they usually choose the way of carpooling.

Although the City of Moses was not well-known throughout the Federation, it would occasionally appear on the news, most of which was related to the terms "malignant tumor city", "serial killings", and "extremely high crime rate".

However, in the Exquisite Phoenix State, as well as nearby cities and counties, the city's reputation was not bad.

At least many tourists knew that the Midtown District of ​​Moses City was a shopping paradise, and a city that never slept. It was the best place to visit for the night view.

Like many tourists, Tang Qi also joined in the excitement. From the carriage, he saw a variety of eye-opening shops with dazzling neon lights, in the more lively evening, he could see all kinds of people and tourists from all over.

Moreover, there were tourists from outside the Federation.

Until the carriage unwittingly stepped into the boundary between neon and darkness.

"Dear customer, we have entered the area of the Bronx District, but don't worry, it's just on the way. We're going to pass through it soon without any incidents."

The coachman was a big white man with a beard, and he had the temperament of an old cowboy. However, he was full of tension at this moment, and he looked at a hidden sack in front of him from time to time. There was a pistol in it, and the bullets had been loaded. All he needed to do was to pull the trigger.

Even though there was a thick board between them, Tang Qi could still feel the nervousness of the coachman. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If there really is a tumor in the city, it can only be the Bronx District."

"According to the hidden rules of monster birth, if I open the mark of misfortune in the Bronx District, will it…"

"Forget it, with my current strength, although I don't have to worry about turning from the hunter to the hunted, if I want to harvest calmly like the previous two times, I'm afraid it's difficult."

As soon as his thoughts spread to a dangerous place, Tang Qi held it down immediately.

Using the mark of misfortune as bait, laying out traps, killing all kinds of freaks and monsters, and then harvesting their resentful souls as fuel, this was already a way for Tang Qi to enhance his strength.

And from the practical results, it was very good.

For the first time in the Newton District, he was a bit jerky and almost capsized.

But the following two times, George Village and Gold Valley, are considered perfect traps, and Tang Qi was very satisfied with the harvest.

But this was far from enough to make him feel satisfied. After hunting several times, Tang Qi made a discovery.

The more humans gathered, the more freaks gathered and the more powerful they were.

While in the wilderness area, although it can also attract some freaks, the number could not match human settlements.

Moreover, after a hunt, the area would form a period of vacuum.

But such a scene would not happen in a human city.

If he opened the mark of misfortune in the Bronck District, and also chose the same one-minute time limit, Tang Qi wondered if he would be overwhelmed by the freaks that were surging over.

"George City is now a trap, and the Gold Valley is my temporary storage room. Maybe we can have a try next time we go hunting…"

“Huh?"

Tang Qi was thinking about the next hunting area in his heart, while looking at the unique street view in the darkness of the Bronke District absent mindedly.

At this moment, through a long alley, across at least a few streets, several figures that seemed like real ghosts flickered in Tang Qi's eyes. What surprised him was when those figures flashed by.

Tang Qi's gaze suddenly swept across, and a faint light flicked deep in his eyes.
