Chapter 208 -208: The Little Boy and the Unwrapping of Gifts
“A rather rude way of picking up a package; now comes the part where we unwrap the gift.”
Tang Qi looked at the sudden appearance of the large pit and suddenly broke into a brilliant smile.
The fleeting glimpse he caught was only of a head, but Tang Qi could still discern that it was a demon with “Drilling” abilities, akin to the massive worm from before, but unlike wild demons, this one was clearly under someone’s control.
In Messer City, only the Mellon Family could accomplish this feat.
It wasn’t hard to guess that Samra had ultimately lost her patience. Fearful that this might be a Hastu Club trap, she didn’t show herself but instead dragged the Mellon Family into this. Since both are extraordinary organizations of equal strength, perhaps they had a way to deal with traps.
Just as Tang Qi was expectant, a piercing scream filled with fear suddenly rose from below.
Tang Qi didn’t look down; an image automatically emerged in his mind: A ghastly pale-faced youth, sitting on the ground with a slump, straining with all his might to control his limp body due to excessive fear, inching backward bit by bit.
The resurrection of his beloved bride had occurred, but clearly, this scene was not what he desired.
His infatuation lay with her state of Death, with his bride dry and foul-smelling, not with what stood before him now – shrouded in swirling dark mist, with blood-red eyes glaring as she approached him.
The bride’s desiccated mouth moved up and down, as if trying to emit some sound.
Taking a step forward, the dark mist surged, and she instantly appeared in front of the pale-faced youth, blood light flickering in her eye sockets. The youth immediately seemed to witness an absolutely horrific sight, trembling uncontrollably.
His soul was slowly leaving his body.
Meanwhile, his already empty shell of a body was rapidly withering, as if the last bit of his Life Essence was being Devoured by something.
“Click-clack~ click-clack”
The abnormal bride seemed to want to laugh, but the sound that came out was this hair-raisingly eerie noise.
Just as a “tragedy” was about to unfold, the bride suddenly became alert to something, her head jerkily twisting at the sound of a rapid shadow approaching from behind her, within which was an extraordinary creature full of Mysterious and powerful aura.
A pair of black hooves suddenly struck down through the air.
Their landing spot was precisely her head.
She wanted to resist, but her dark fog and the blood light with its hypnotic, Hallucinogenic effects were instantly dispersed under the shadow’s impact.
“Thud”
A muffled sound later, the bride’s head exploded, a wisp of dark mist rose, failing to form into a Resentful Soul before it was casually dispersed by a hand wrapped in Light Flames.
The Great Horror instantly dissipated.
Only on the ground lay a body shaped like a Corpse, but in fact, the deviant youth was still alive.
But that was all, alive. After being sucked on by the bride, he lost not only lifespan but also some of his sanity.
Tang Qi didn’t bother with him; being an idiot was always better than being a pervert.
After killing the abnormal bride with a simple strike, Tang Qi and the Night Beast showed no intention of lingering, quickly heading in another direction in Messer City toward the suburban area.
Mellon Manor!
One of the most luxurious estates not just in Messer City, but in all of Secret Phoenix State.
Most commoners were unaware, but the upperclassmen of Messer City all knew that this private estate, originally named “Golden Manor,” had nearly witnessed the history of Messer City.
Located in the suburbs, it was a large complex built in the style of the Dark Age. Within the estate, aside from the breathtaking architecture, there were man-made lakes, natural rivers, as well as vast farms and forests preserved in their original state.
Moreover, there were numerous Observation Towers and defensive fortresses.
All manner of covert security measures made it a place akin to an independent small kingdom.
This was the difference in heritage.
If the Hastu Club also planned a sneak attack on the Mellon Family, it clearly wouldn’t be as simple as before when the family experienced a sneak attack.
“Sneaking in or a sneak attack would both be difficult.”
At that moment, Tang Qi’s figure appeared on the outskirts of the estate, within a forest, he and the Night Beast merged into the night, so long as they did not continue to approach, they would not trigger the estate’s alarms.
During the absence of the Spiritual Tide, those alarms were surely intended for humans.
But now, they were likely aimed at Extraordinary Creatures.
Fortunately, Tang Qi had no intention of sneaking in. Although he couldn’t witness Samra opening the gift personally, Tang Qi believed the results would soon become apparent.
…
Inside the estate, in front of a castle-like structure.
Seven or eight figures were standing on the open ground, seemingly waiting for something.
The leader was a middle-aged man, towering and burly like a giant.
Despite his overly strong body, the man resembled a gentleman, with his expensive and meticulously handmade suit, hair slicked back, and solemn expression. But this in no way diminished the ancient Monster-like aura emanating from his body.
This man bore some resemblance to a fusion of Ronald and Hall.
His identity was rather obvious.
In the vast Messer City, there weren’t many who possessed such a temperament—almost certainly only one.
That would be the current Clan Leader of the Mellon Family, Andrew Mellon.
Inside the Mysterious Bar, the majority’s speculation about his strength was that he had undoubtedly reached “Professional Level”.
At his side was a shorter dark-skinned old woman, her body covered in eerie Runes, wearing a complex and magnificent black robe; her empty and hollow eyes confirmed her identity. The renowned Black Snake Witch, Samra.
Every figure behind them emanated a pressure surpassing that of the “Evil Punisher” who had died at Tang Qi’s hand.
And the thing they were waiting for soon arrived.
In just a few breaths, the ground suddenly began to tremble with a “rumbling” sound, then the earth ahead caved in, and a head covered in slime, seemingly without eyes and only a large mouth, slowly emerged. It opened its Big Mouth, and with a retching noise, a torrent of mucus-covered objects cascaded down like a waterfall.
Among those objects were rotten planks, sticky mud, some stones, some Corpses, and… a coffin.
“Buzz”
All eyes converged upon that coffin.
Then, Andrew Mellon nodded slightly. From behind him, two sturdy figures brought out a large glass box covered with a black cloth. Removing the cloth revealed a little boy inside, a Monster-like little boy.
He was hairless, without eyebrows or any other body hair; his ears and eyes were as if they had never formed. His skin was entirely transparent, revealing the texture of muscles, blood vessels, and even internal organs beneath.
The little boy seemed extremely timid, curling up tightly in one corner of the glass box.
A Big Man banged on the glass box and ferociously pointed to the coffin amidst the chaos, then silently asked a question.
Although the little boy had no eyes, he miraculously seemed to look towards the coffin, hesitating for a moment before shaking his head and then retreating back into the corner.
“No danger!”
The Big Man put the black cloth back down and then spoke to Andrew and Samra.
Andrew nodded, gesturing slightly, and immediately one of the Big Men went over, dragged out the slime-covered coffin, and effortlessly tore off its decayed lid.
As soon as the coffin was opened, a variety of Curios appeared inside.
However, Samra showed no reaction to these. What truly changed her expression was the sight at the very bottom of the coffin. The “Corpse” dressed in an Abnormal red gown.
Her son, Fosca.
Fosca, whom she had personally fashioned into a Puppet—even though she transferred the control to Abu, the ultimate control still lay in her hands.
So at this moment, even without approaching, she instantly realized the Abnormality within the Puppet.
“Hiss~”
An extremely angry Roar erupted from Samra’s mouth.
There was an “invader” that had taken over her son’s body.
As if to confirm her thoughts, the body that had been lying quietly in the coffin suddenly opened its eyes.
A pair of deep black orbs, filled with the vitality and… Fear that only normal Humans possess.
