Lord of Enigma

Moses City, suburb, outside Georgeville village.

Tang Qi lowered his head slightly and walked hurriedly under the dim moonlight. On both sides of the road were dense and dark forests, which might look better during the day, but at night, they looked very gloomy, as if there were monsters that would jump out and bite at any time.

In particular, just ahead, it was gray, cold, and humid with fog pervading the landscape. One could only vaguely see the dark woods, gentle slopes, the roadside, and depressions, which were all littered with "Tombstone" like objects.

In fact, it was a tombstone.

Georgeville Village was a village established by the first generation of pioneers and gold diggers, and of course, it was also a peaceful spot for the first batch of the deceased.

It was only with the opening of the "Moses Cemetery" that this place was no longer visited, and the living residents also moved away. Therefore. it became very desolate, except for some homeless wanderers, or the lone elderly, and some young people who liked to take risks, which was to say, to "commit suicide", no one would come here.

Especially at this time of the hour.

Tang Qi came here to test his new ability.

Cities may have more strange creatures or even more powerful ones, and they would serve even better as fuel. But obviously, it was not easy for Tang Qi to let go of himself. However, he didn't have many scruples here.

Soon, Tang Qi walked into the messy cemetery. Most of the tombstones were actually square-shaped stone tablets embedded on the ground. A few extravagant ones only used a few more stones, but most of these first-generation of brave people didn't even leave their descendants, so there was no one to clean or present flowers.

Occasionally on one or two of them, one could see some shriveled flowers.

Tang Qi walked for about ten minutes and saw a small abandoned log cabin, which should have been inhabited by the tomb-keeper.

He didn't enter and just glanced from outside through the broken window. The owner seemed to have left in a hurry, and many things were still there. There were even pillows and quilts on the bed, but they were all rotten. There was also a shovel and small iron pan on the messy ground, filled with black lumps of things, probably potatoes.

"That's it, I hope it's not too scary, I hate thriller-type movies the most."

Tang Qi sneered at himself, and then his eyes fell on the back of his left hand.

Hum!

He touched it with his mental sense.

The familiar scene reappeared, the mark of "Misfortune" slowly appeared, and an ominous aura began to waft out. He lowered his hand, and let the aura of misfortune spread, and began to walk around the log cabin to survey the terrain. At the same time, he silently counted the time in his heart. Last time in the Newton District, he made a big mistake.

He had underestimated the power of misfortune so much that it attracted too many "monsters". If it weren't for Serand the Dual-Knife-Wielding Man, then Tang Qi would have faced an absolute end after being besieged.

This time, Tang Qi strictly controlled the time.

One minute!

Soon, the time limit was up.

Tang Qi's mental sense spread over and was about to close the mark.

But at this time, a strange noise suddenly came from behind.

Behind me?

Inside the cabin?

Tang Qi quickly closed the mark, his body was a little tense. He turned around suddenly and looked at the source of the strange sound through the broken window.

The flow of the log cabin was suddenly broken, and the black soil was overturned. A rickety, old figure crawled out of the ground. His clothes had already rotted, and his skin was dry and shriveled all over his body. Half of his hair was rotted, but there was still some hanging on his head.

Under the moonlight, Tang Qi saw that he had a dog-like face, a horse hoof-like feet, a pair of sharp claws, and his green eyes looking at him, sending out a disturbing and disgusting sound as if it was crying.

"Is this…a ghoul?"

When he was talking to himself, a faint light converged and quickly produced a picture in Tang Qi's eyes.

[Extraordinarily Creature: Ghoul. ]

[State: Hungry. ]

[Information Fragment one: It's so ugly and disgusting, making people feel uneasy and disturbed. Who would've thought that it was once a human being and a respectable gravekeeper? It was not until one day that it completely abandoned its dignity and finally ate the first mouthful of expired human flesh. ]

[Information Fragment two: Due to the population decline of Georgeville Village, it had maintained a state of hunger for decades, and because of the return of the spirit tide, it has regained some of its strength. Recently, it was preparing to relocate. ]

As the Information fragments flowed through, Tang Qi's pupil contracted abruptly.

If memory serves me right, don't ghouls live in groups?

With Tang Qi's thoughts, centering on the log cabin, the surrounding graveyards, or simply empty spaces, suddenly came the sound of "Bang ~ Bang Boom", splashes of soil, and humanoid monsters crawled out of the ground. Their images were exactly the same as the ghoul of the tomb keeper who was struggling to break through the log cabin and pounce on Tang Qi.

Pairs of green eyes quickly encircled Tang Qi.

Moreover, some strange sounds were coming from all directions and some strange figures were rushing here.

Whoosh!

In the air, the disgusting smell was getting stronger and stronger.

Tang Qi's hair stood on end, which was a sign of danger.

The "monsters" seduced by the mark of misfortune had finally arrived.

The most anxious one was undoubtedly the ghoul of the tomb keeper in front of him.

The first bite of this delicious meal should be his.

No, it's all his.

When the tomb-keeper ghoul was planning which part of Tang Qi's body to bite first, he didn't see that the corner of Tang Qi's mouth was slightly upturned, and him muttering, "Although it looks disgusting, it should be enough for a trap. "

As soon as he finished muttering, he abruptly took a step forward and took the initiative to open the door of the log cabin. Before the stale smell drifted out, he directly walked in.

"Ah ~"

"No, help me."

"Go away, you damn monster!"

…

Hearing the sound of "a big feast starting", the rest of the ghouls who had just come out of the soil rushed over impatiently. Their running movements were like the most notorious and detested spotted hyenas of the Saha mainland, who hunted in packs.

However, when their heads, which were covered with rotten flesh that seemed to have been glued to their bodies, crowded in front of the creaking log cabin, they saw a salivating and confused companion, and the "big meal" disappeared without a trace. Because they had been hungry for decades, they had almost no brain cells left, so they lacked any speculation about the scene in front of them.

By instinct, they sensed that there was still an incomparably tempting aura left on their companion's body.

Companion, what is that?

Can we eat it?

The answer was yes.

"Woo ~"

"Woo"

The sound of screeching rang out one after another, and under the moonlight, in front of the creaky log cabin, many ghouls scrambled to squeeze it. Their stinky mouths opened, encasing almost all parts of the tomb-keeper ghoul's body.

Around the earth, all kinds of strange creatures drifted over, and they were equally anxious.

The big feast was about to begin.
