Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Human Experiment (3rd Update!)

The Fighting Skill experiment was somewhat beyond Tang Qi’s expectations; he had thought that Fine Sword Technique, or some special school close to Knight Battle Skills, would be more suitable for Stanna.

Who would have thought it would be the “Monster Power Technique.”

It should be noted that Tang Qi only controlled Stanna’s body and did not do anything else. Under these circumstances, the power demonstrated by the Monster Power Technique still exceeded Tang Qi’s own cultivation talent in this skill.

Previously, Stanna, with the use of Molten Furnace Bullet and Red Rhino, was able to kill some Extraordinary Monsters, but she was still just a “Contactor.”

However, with that punch just now, she officially became a “Transcendent.”

She herself vaguely understood something and was now excitedly looking at her own fist. Tang Qi had already silently lifted the “Body Control Spell,” and in fact, he had removed the witchcraft as soon as that punch was thrown.

The operation of the Monster Power Technique and the Cultivation Method had already flooded into Stanna’s mind.

Just as the atmosphere in the living room was returning to normal, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly emanated from the pit.

“Cough~cough cough”

The “Purple Hound,” who had reverted to a pitiful little girl, finally regained her original voice, sounding like an old woman, continually coughing up fresh blood, her body mostly shattered bones, barely holding on through the Transcendent’s physique.

Though she looked like a child, the malice and hatred emanating from her eyes were definitely not something a little girl could display.

She stared at Stanna and Tang Qi, making a “ho ho ho” sound from her throat and coldly laughing, “You have no idea what kind of Disaster you have invited upon yourselves and your families. What does it matter if you defeated me? I’m just the least noticeable among the Hound Corps.”

“By aiding the sect defectors and disrupting the leader’s plan, you will soon meet endless Hounds. They will pounce together, tear open your throats, drink your blood, eat your flesh, and I will return to the great Master’s embrace.”

“The aid from the Investigation Bureau you’re waiting for will never come. Mr. Robert, Mr. Lance, they have already gone to snipe the so-called reception team. You will only be met with a heap of corpses, and the real Hound Corps, hahaha…”

After spitting out her last words, this Purple Hound slowly perished at the bottom of the pit.

Tang Qi did not go to collect her Resentful Soul. Creatures of this level of Abnormality only provide a spark of benefit, not worth the great effort to intentionally hide from Stanna and Poli.

Her last words, however, reminded Tang Qi of the previous unfinished conversation.

“Mr. Andre Poli, please continue.”

Tang Qi seemed completely unaffected by the threat from the Purple Hound, turning his head to remind Poli to continue their earlier conversation.

In fact, Tang Qi truly did not fear the so-called threats from the Shepherd Sect.

Not because Tang Qi was confident that he alone could crush this sect. He was not that arrogant.

The real reason was still…official.

FBI!

This is a large organization entirely belonging to the Federation, far stronger than the “Ancient Castle Bureau” in terms of authority and other aspects.

The Hound said they had already arranged a sniping; Tang Qi believed it.

But he did not think that the Bureau would overlook this point, nor did he think that a Hound Corps, dispatched by the recently risen Shepherd Sect, could really take out the official strongmen dispatched by the Bureau.

Stepping back ten thousand steps, even if the sniping were successful.

Tang Qi wasn’t afraid of anything. He would annihilate Andre Poli, the virus body, then send Stanna to either the Ancient Castle Bureau or the Bright Church for assessment. Alone with his Fog Body’s concealment ability and leveraging the Special Ability to cheat, Tang Qi did not believe anyone could truly chase him down.

As for Sally?

With her status as a “Lucky Body”, only a strong transcendent above the Professional Level might have a slight chance against her.

Even the Shepherd Sect is unaware of Sally’s existence, let alone pose a threat to her.

The most critical point is that Sally harbors a “Great God” within her, making her safety truly nothing to worry about.

Poli and Stanna are unaware of these thoughts in Tang Qi’s mind, but that doesn’t stop them from being influenced by his demeanor. Poli recalled for a moment, originally wanting to continue making that sinister expression, but accidently glanced at Tang Qi.

After looking at Stanna again, he silently returned to a normal tone and said, “The Hound Corps is differentiated by the seven-colored petals of the Ancestor Flower, which come in yellow, purple, green, blue, red, white, and black, each stronger than the last, with both new and old categories for each type of Hound.”

“New Hounds, like the yellow and the purple ones we saw, have not been taking the Evil Flower Potion for long. Although they survived the initial phase, they are still under observation and could collapse at any moment, whereas the old Hounds have survived the observation period and entered a stable phase as monsters.”

“Each old Hound can single-handedly kill more than five new Hounds, and those of the black and white levels are considered Professional Level strong as mentioned by the Mysterious Side.”

“Now that Mr. Leckter is aware of the change within me, he will definitely send black and white old Hounds to capture me, and the reason you haven’t seen those monsters yet, is probably because they are targeting the FBI agents.”

As he spoke, Poli seemed to regain confidence, his eyes brimming with uncontrollable ambition.

He held his head high, locking eyes with Tang Qi, and then whispered softly, “Let me go. You guys stand no chance, trust me, I know those monsters. The FBI agents can’t possibly handle Robert and Lance–they are the most terrifying of the old Hounds.”

“I’m different; I’m evolving. I can feel myself walking the path of legends. Just let me go, and once my evolution is complete, achieving the perfect Ancestor body, I will return. I’ll exterminate everyone from the Shepherd Sect, including Mr. Leckter.”

“The Federation doesn’t need so many monsters; I will cleanse them all. Trust me, it’s a personal vendetta between me and the Sect.”

As he spoke, even Poli seemed to convince himself, his tone growing progressively louder.

Hope gleamed in his eyes.

This scene made Tang Qi increasingly convinced that the so-called “Ancestor Flower”, besides granting some Abnormal abilities, also had a chance to make one lose their mind.

Of course, Poli might be acting.

To get Tang Qi to lower his guard so that he could suddenly lash out or had other plans.

If it’s the latter, then it must be said that Mr. Andre Poli has once again suffered from information asymmetry.

Before consuming the “Ancestor Flower”, he was a deranged Serial Killer, half a Contactor, but was unaware of some basic knowledge on the Mysterious Side, and after becoming a Transcendent, had no opportunity to gain such insight.

Thus, Mr. Poli is still unaware that many abilities on the Mysterious Side ensure captives can neither lie nor act in front of the strong.

Coincidentally, Tang Qi had such an ability.

And not just one.

“Human experimentation is a bit unethical, but if the subjects are psychopaths, wouldn’t that be considered a service to the public?”

“What–what?”

Not only did Poli hear Tang Qi’s “muttering”, so did Stanna.

In response to Poli’s alarmed question, Tang Qi flashed a bright smile and comfortingly said, “Nothing much, just pondering over which method would be best for saving your soul. How about…”

“Burn it!”

Just as Poli’s heart began to settle, it stopped abruptly at Tang Qi’s chilling statement.
