Lord of Enigma

Extra chapter by "ShadowDuke" from Ko-Fi!

In the center of his palm lay a "dice"1material.[Die is the singular form of dice, but didn't want anyone to get confused made of some kind of bone or special material.

Unlike the normal dice, it was bigger, half as big as a fist, and harder in texture, with a pale grayish-white color. It had six sides, but each side was not engraved with black dots. But very small patterns, patterns of a certain monster.

When Tang Qi gazed fixedly at it, a faint light started to emerge. It was a mystical object.

[Mystical Object: Tyros' dice. ]

[Status: Complete. ]

[Information Fragment 1: One-time mystical object, it's a dice made from the bones of the Tyros monster, and its usage is engraved on the sixth side. ]

[Information Fragment 2: This is one of the many gifts Jason's mother gave him, and it's also to make Jason not forget the other half of his bloodline. ]

"Tyros monster?"

Tang Qi seemed to think of something, and his expression became strange.

He subconsciously turned to the sixth side of the dice. In addition to the six small patterns, there was also a small line engraved at the bottom, which was the usage of this dice.

It was a disposable item. If one forcefully threw it onto the ground and shouted the spell "Tyros", the dice would shatter, and at the same time, summon the same number of Tyros monsters as the side you threw. However, these monsters were just projections, and apart from blocking the enemy, they had no combat function, but they could buy one time to escape.

"Well, it's indeed convenient for running away."

Tang Qi rotated the dice and commented silently.

But his expression was still strange.

The second piece of information attached to the dice stated that the dice was given to Jason, to prevent him from forgetting the other half of his bloodline.

In other words, Jason's maternal blood was the Tyros.

"Buzz"

Involuntarily, the image of the Tyros monster appeared in Tang Qi's mind.

It was the pattern engraved on the six faces of the dice.

It was a half-human and half-sheep monster. They usually had the lower body of a sheep and the upper body of a human, whether male or female, had two curved horns on their heads. Unlike other chaotic and crazy monsters, they were a select few rare monsters that could maintain their sanity.

Moreover, the Tyros monsters advocated being with nature and lived in the beautiful mountains. Whether male or female, they were very unrestrained, and were not shy of mating with humans, and certainly not with other races.

In the "Monster Files", the Tyros monster also occupied some chapter space, and their image was mostly positive.

However, with a century of spiritual disability, they gradually became ridiculous legends.

But he didn't expect that Jason's father would meet a female Tyros monster and give birth to a descendant.

"Jason's father was so fierce that he even dared to date a monster and have children. According to the views of his previous life, the Tyros monster can be regarded as a kind of ‘beast girl’, so Jason's father can be considered to have gotten a huge advantage."

"Furthermore, since she can give Jason a lot of gifts, it means that his mother is not some ordinary Tyros monster."

Tang Qi muttered with a smile and put the dice away.

Although it was not a very powerful offensive mystical item, it was a good auxiliary item and an unexpected harvest.

Jason used this as a gift of gratitude, probably thinking that Tang Qi was just a fragile consultant. If he was in danger, he could rely on such a mystical item to save his life at a critical moment.

Although he disagreed, Tang Qi accepted this kindness.

After putting everything away, Tang Qi quickly turned back to the fourth floor of the hospital.

The intensive care unit, which appeared extremely strange due to the presence of the blood demon flower, had returned to normal. Although Stana's face was still pale, her vital signs had returned to normal, and she should be discharged after a few days of rest.

The police station arranged a lot of people to take guard, so Tang Qi was not needed.

Before leaving, Tang Qi and Nathan exchanged words for a moment.

He confirmed some information about the attackers.

According to Nathan's description, it was a man wearing a white mask. He wasn't sure of his age, but he was extremely strong, fast, and possessed terrifying power. He could smash a police car with one punch, and at the same time exert some terrible extraordinary power, such as the blood demon flower thrown in front of Stana before leaving.

If Tang Qi and Old Coulson did not intervene, the blood demon flower would have successfully entered the withering period, and finally released highly toxic gas, then the entire Holy Thorns Hospital would've been exterminated.

And the purpose of that attacker, at present, they knew that it was for those mystical objects.

As for all the mystical items, or only a part of them, it was not clear for the time being.

Realizing this, Tang Qi frowned.

"The purpose of the assailant is unknown, and that batch of mystical objects are very special. Whether it's the treasure map, the misprinted magic book, or the amber left by the amber merchant, there seems to be a conspiracy and a manipulator behind it, either one is possible."

"That's also the reason why I dumped it to the police station, but I didn't expect that the manipulator behind the scenes even dared to make a move against government officials."

Tang Qi walked out of the hospital while pondering.

He took some time tonight, but it was still late at night, so Tang Qi felt that the hunting could continue.

He had a strong curiosity, what kind of changes will happen to his Golden Furnace Meditation Method after breaking through 10% of the level progress?

Or, it was simply Tang Qi's own misconception.

Tang Qi walked towards the end of a street outside the hospital, with a shady alley leading out, suitable for Tang Qi's departure after turning into a mist.

But just as he was about to step out of the hospital, he inadvertently glanced at the floor where the ICU was located, the originally bright light suddenly flickered, and then suddenly… extinguished.

Huh!

Tang Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped, hesitating for half a breath, his figure immediately turned back.

The first floor was fine.

The second and third floors are also fine.

But when Tang Qi was about to set foot into the fourth-floor area, a strange smell suddenly appeared in the air. After smelling it, he inexplicably developed a sense of disgust towards the fourth-floor area and couldn't wait to turn around and leave.

For example, the doctors and nurses walking in front of him, no matter what they were going to do on the fourth floor, all left with their noses covered.

Strangely enough, they didn't think there was anything wrong, and they didn't even notice that the entire fourth-floor area was completely dark, with only faint bright red light showing through the gaps in the closed door.

"Squeak"

Tang Qi silently pushed open the iron door of the fourth-floor area. The moment he stepped inside, the surface of his body emitted a wisp of golden light, and a kind of burnt smell was in the air. It was still unpleasant, but it wouldn't make Tang Qi desire to leave with his nose covered.

However, when he stepped into the aisle and saw the scene in front of him, his expression immediately changed.

What had been a wide walkway, at which point there was absolutely no place to place his foot. It was completely covered by squirming bright-red like intestines or vines. They crossed and became entangled, and some police officers, doctors, and nurses were hung on the wall.

Just like the blood demon flower that was sucking the blood of Stana, these vines also sucked blood, and the owner of the vine seemed to be sadistic.

Obviously, these people could be strangled quickly, but they only wrapped around them like pythons with sharp flesh thorns. The entangled people instantly became bloody and mangled, but they didn't struggle at all. Some kind of poisonous gas pervaded in the air, directly paralyzing them.

Tang Qi could see that their sober eyes and they still had consciousness, completely feeling the horror of everything that happened to them.

"Swoosh ~"

When dozens of vines flew over and tried to drag him in, his body instantly turned into a grayish mist and flew to the innermost intensive care unit without hesitation.
