Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Mysterious Girl

What happened after that, Tang Qi did not know. Having gathered a huge haul, he quickly left the battlefield and returned to his usual secluded spot, transforming back into himself, then returned to the humble brick house in an utterly silent atmosphere.

Upon arriving back at the house, Tang Qi directly placed the hoard of Curios “extorted” from the hands of the Bright Knights and Priests aside.

Afterward, leaving the Night Beast in charge of guarding, he went to the second-floor bedroom and sat cross-legged on the carpet adorned with moon patterns, entering the Meditation State.

However, unlike before, this time Tang Qi’s meditation was not for Cultivation.

He was confirming his “harvest,” the real big harvest.

The intestines of the Evil God!

According to the description in the Information Fragment, it indeed belonged to an Evil God. Tang Qi first performed the Sacrifice Method, offering the intestines to the Master of the Crucible, and to cover it up, he even purposely set off a splendid display of fireworks with a Flame Spell.

Now, it was time to reap the results.

As if sensing the thoughts in Tang Qi’s mind, when he envisaged the golden Sun, a Great Power came from the depths of the universe and instantly pulled Tang Qi into an endlessly Dark world where time seemed to have stopped.

The Ruins of Darkness?

Whoosh!

Before Tang Qi could confirm, a dazzlingly brilliant, golden Radiance suddenly lit up before him; a Sun, warm and vast, throbbing with Light Flames, slowly emerged, followed by a second, and then a third.

Three warm and dazzling golden Crucibles illuminated Tang Qi.

Just as he was about to grasp some understanding, at that moment, with a “Boom,” a familiar scene appeared–it was one that had shown itself when he first acquired the “Molten Furnace Sacrifice Technique”; a mass of Information Fragments, including Knowledge, Skills, and Extraordinary Power… this was the Sea of Knowledge.

Unlike the last time, this was no fleeting glimpse.

As this boundless expanse of the Sea of Knowledge surged toward him, most of it began fading away, but some transformed suddenly into meteors, streaking across from the infinite darkness, each “meteor” representing something Tang Qi could claim.

“So, those three Suns represent my Merit? It’s this automated?”

Tang Qi instantly understood the process, it was clearly and simply run by the Master of the Crucible’s program, comprehensible to anyone who wasn’t a fool.

Those three Suns represented the Merit Tang Qi had earned from sacrificing the intestines of the Evil God, and it could also be termed as points.

Of course, this did not mean that one Sun could only be exchanged for one thing; it still depended on value. Perhaps Tang Qi could exchange several less valuable items without extinguishing the first Sun.

Or perhaps, if Tang Qi exchanged an item of excessive value, all three Suns might be extinguished.

Watching this automated process, Tang Qi wasn’t so thrilled; on the contrary, he became even more cautious.

Because among those meteors, he saw many witchcraft techniques aimed at the Evil Gods and Exotic Realm Monsters, some Secret Knowledge, which, given the right moment, could allow even a Professional-Level strong practitioner to kill an Evil God with Extraordinary Knowledge.

He seemed to see how, in past eras, the witches from the Molten Furnace Wizard lineage were so adept and keen on hunting and sacrificing Evil Gods, which led to the formation of such an intelligent and convenient process by the Master of the Crucible. This was hardly good news.

“What if I reveal that I belong to the Molten Furnace Wizard lineage? Would all the worshippers of the Evil God in the Federation converge in Messer City to hunt me down?”

While watching the meteors streak through, Tang Qi flashed through a dangerous thought.

Although vigilant, Tang Qi did not plan to forego the benefits he had nearly in his grasp.

His mind focused, he fully immersed himself in reviewing the information contained within each meteor.

“The Melting Furnace Body, using oneself as the Crucible, akin to the Son of the Sun walking the earth, capable of releasing a Domain, automatically Devouring Fuel…”

“Melting Furnace Summoning Technique, capable of summoning creatures from various Exotic Realms that are highly mutually compatible, the Level of summoned creatures depends on the caster’s Magic Power…”

“Melting Furnace Transformation Technique, upon obtaining the blood of an Extraordinary Creature or similar medium, allows casting of this technique to transform into that creature, simultaneously possessing some of the creature’s abilities, but there are certain restrictions to this casting…”

“Melting Furnace Rebirth Technique, allowing a portion of the soul and power to be stored in the Molten Furnace Realm in advance; should the Body die, one will automatically be reborn, this casting has strict…”

…

Several dozens of witchcraft streamed through Tang Qi’s mind.

These should be the part of the legacy Tang Qi hadn’t received, various witchcraft that complemented the Meditation Method.

Their power was indeed as formidable as Tang Qi had anticipated.

Not to mention others, just the transformation and rebirth witchcrafts alone had already made Tang Qi’s mouth water.

However, Tang Qi did not exchange them; he sat still, his mind incredibly calm, watching these shooting stars pass by.

There was still plenty of time. Tang Qi had no plans to exchange them immediately, although he could only view these Information Fragments and could not perceive their true mysteries, it was still a way to increase his knowledge of the Mysterious Side, there was no reason to rush.

As Tang Qi was reaping benefits, inside a prison cell at Messer Police Station, a massive box made of a special metal was placed.

Inside the box was a small room.

On the white bed, lay a scrawny young man donning a prison uniform, his facial features slightly distorted, but one could still tell he was a handsome man. However, at this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, seemingly caught in a nightmare.

Suddenly, from the box’s walls, which were white with traces of silver, a dollop of mercury-like substance spilled out and gradually spread on the floor, and a strange human figure silently stood up.

This was a person entirely shrouded in a black robe, with only a few sparks of armor-like light shining through the gaps.

After his appearance, a deep murmur slowly began to resonate within the prison cell. Along with the echo of that sound, “Little Ross” who had his eyes tightly shut just a second ago on the bed, abruptly sat up, stiff as though a zombie, standing straight in front of the dark human figure.

“Report!”

An indiscernible voice emerged from the darkness.

Almost immediately, Little Ross slightly opened his mouth, his expression blank, but he emitted a distinctly clear voice.

Faintly, these bits of information could be heard:

“…the seal is not in… Thorns Campus…”

“Sith did not gain the inheritance…”

“…the summoning was unexpectedly interrupted…”

As Little Ross’s mouth gradually closed, the dark shadow seemed to receive satisfactory information.

Another deep voice echoed from the darkness.

“You are guilty, you must die!”

“Hum”

As the voice fell, the originally blank Little Ross turned his body back to the bed, covered his lower body, but kept muttering “I am guilty, I must die,” and then slowly stretched his hands to strangle his neck, suddenly exerting strength, his veins gradually bulging, and Little Ross’s already distorted face instantly turned red.

In just a few seconds, he would have strangled himself to death.

Seeing this, the person in the dark emitted a cryptic laugh, then turned around and merged into the wall like a dollop of mercury, disappearing without a trace.

After his departure, Little Ross didn’t stop, continuing to strangle himself.

However, just before he completely strangled himself to death, his extremely emaciated abdomen suddenly bulged, and with a “bang,” it burst open, revealing a girl covered in mucus and blood, springing out from within.

Her eyes emitted a green, beast-like glow, showing no trace of human emotion.

She violently pounced on Little Ross, and started devouring him. Soon, the prison cell was filled with the eerie sounds of “rustling, rustling” as the small figure of the girl swallowed the unresisting Little Ross completely.

Perched atop a blood-soaked bed, the eyes of the girl swelled with ghost light, reflecting a tall human figure, which was unmistakably… the shape of Tang Qi’s Second Body.

From her throat came two bizarre laughs, “hehe,” and then her figure disappeared without warning from the prison cell.

Everything calmed down.

Except now, the originally white, neat prison cell had turned into a brutally terrifying scene of a crime.
