Chapter 407: Chapter 391: Sad Ghost (Requesting monthly tickets!)

Tang Qi and Jason and others all thought that Berenson’s Team Five would perform “Memory Reading” on Worsman.

In many people’s minds, this was a very cruel affair.

But as those instruments were continuously brought out, everyone started to realize it was not that simple.

At this moment, Worsman was completely wrapped by technology-laden mechanical devices, those tentacle-like tubes all connected to a cumbersome screen, behind which sat a finely made hand-cranked generator.

When an agent started the generator, the screen immediately lit up.

Suddenly, a ghost light surged in the depths of Tang Qi’s eyes.

“It’s a Curio!”

Just as this thought appeared in Tang Qi’s mind, preparing to focus on it.

On the screen, accompanied by the sound of electricity, a bright red skull suddenly appeared.

Its upper and lower jaws moved a few times and then emitted an emotionless mechanical sound.

“Begin judgment!”

As the voice fell, a series of incredibly realistic images began to flicker on the screen, all related to Worsman, starting directly from his infancy, various clips passing by, messy and vast, but just right for glimpsing his entire life…

At this time, Berenson’s voice suddenly came through.

“This is Federation ID GX-1315, a Curio named Human Brain Projector, first discovered in an abandoned cinema in Holy Eagle Nest City. Its function is to extract a large amount of memories stored in a human brain and edit them to make a unique film, allowing specific key information and perspective during production, along with a gorgeous poster as a bonus.”

“But to use it, one must first pass judgment. After hundreds of experiments in the Federation Laboratory, it was concluded that only truly evil humans have the qualifications to be made into a movie.”

“Intelligence officers judged that Worsman qualifies enough.”

As if to corroborate Berenson’s words, the final image on the screen froze on a pair of extremely fearful eyes, which dimly reflected Tang Qi’s figure.

“Passed!”

“Huh~”

When the urgent beeping sound started, an agent suddenly appeared in front of the screen. His hands moved like a phantom, typing on the keyboard.

It seemed he was entering information and perspective.

The terrifying speed made Tang Qi involuntarily glance sideways.

The ultimate keyboard warrior!

Just as this playful thought rose in the depths of Tang Qi’s heart.

Inside the screen, many images began to flicker at an even faster rate, some tumbling, some being cut away, until every corner of the screen was occupied by a horrifying poster. The male lead, without a doubt, was Worsman.

His giant stature took up most of the area, his face fierce and pained, his strong hands ripping out his own heart, gnawing at it voraciously.

“Bloody Giant!”

After the film’s title flashed past, the formal projection began.

…

“Huh”

In the reception room where the lights were turned back on, Tang Qi exhaled a breath.

He suddenly had the feeling of attending a “movie premiere,” novel yet somewhat shocking.

Jason and Rafael had similar expressions, whereas Mr. William Marshall still maintained his rigid demeanor, only occasionally letting slip glances of interest.

Agents and researchers from the Investigation Bureau started to dismantle the machines and write their reports.

The film that just finished screening confirmed the information Tang Qi had previously obtained, and it was even more detailed; because keywords had been entered in advance, the Curio called “Human Brain Projector” directly filtered out other irrelevant images.

The entire movie, only depicting his rise from the lower class at the beginning, then revolved around how he obtained “Angel Potion.”

Many astonishing images and hidden truths thus appeared before everyone.

When the machines were packed up, Tang Qi, Berenson, and William Marshall exchanged looks, all seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes. The situation was more dangerous than they had imagined.

According to Worsman’s memories, the spread of Angel Potion was abnormally rapid, and Secret Phoenix City was not even the most severely affected.

This was not the first test site.

Tang Qi’s previous premonition was correct; this matter, whether it was the Witch School, the Ancient Castle Bureau, or Berenson’s Team Five, none had the qualification or strength to handle it alone; this is an event that must be reported to the Federation headquarters, and even the Church must be informed.

Berenson didn’t stay long, and after a brief discussion with Tang Qi and William Marshall, left with Worsman and the agents.

The three from the Ancient Castle Bureau also left swiftly.

Both sides would initiate a secretive and comprehensive investigation; within Secret Phoenix State, everything related to Mrs. Anderson would be uncovered, especially that Angel Network. Worsman, this newly emerging crime boss, is just a small part of the network.

It was hard to imagine just how many big shots like “Joseph Dodge” had taken the Angel Potion.

Expanding to the entire Federation, how many people were there?

And just how powerful had Leckter become now, the mastermind behind it all?

Each question was extremely thorny.

However, now that the officials are aware, it’s unlikely that an uncontrollable disaster of great magnitude could occur.

“Before the official large-scale encirclement, there will definitely be a buffer period.”

Tang Qi’s mind was active with thoughts.

His plan was to strengthen the Merada Special Education School as much as possible during this period.

Then mobilize the school personnel to participate in the encirclement.

Of course, only to participate, not to lead.

What Tang Qi wanted was for the school to become mature and independent of his support.

But he did not plan to be foolhardy; the school would not join the large-scale Federation encirclement but would cooperate with the Ancient Castle Bureau within Secret Phoenix City, targeting the so-called Lady Andefu and the Angel Network she controlled.

The ones in the forefront attracting attention would be organizations like the Federation, the Church, and the Ancient Castle Bureau.

The Witch School, however, would not be noticed, a safe and advantageous approach.

Tang Qi’s “request” was promptly agreed to by Berenson and William Marshall without hesitation.

As the provider of “important intelligence,” Tang Qi had won over two major organizations.

Before leaving, both Berenson and William Marshall expressed their gratitude.

Undoubtedly, Tang Qi’s importance was rapidly increasing.

He was aware of this, but it was not enough to make Tang Qi show a look of delight.

From beginning to end, Tang Qi understood that strength was the foundation of everything.

After confirming his thoughts and plans, Tang Qi moved and returned to the Library Tower.

Commanding three little guys to bring hot drinks and snacks, Tang Qi lay on the couch by himself, looking at the beautiful night scene of Green Dragon Ridge Lake, with a thick volume—it was not a book, but rather a thing—in his hands.

The FBI’s wanted report!

Before the formal meeting with Berenson, Tang Qi had quickly scanned through the information relating to the Chaotic Camp Hourglass Monster that was linked to Secret Phoenix City!

The record was terrifying, and the abilities were bizarre.

Then Tang Qi witnessed Berenson bringing out the “Human Brain Projector,” a weird but intriguing Curio.

“Expanding the view to the Federation does indeed allow one to witness many unseen Extraordinary things.”

“And if this continues, what about the whole Origin Blue Star?”

This thought emerged, and Tang Qi immediately shook his head; while his power was not bad, it clearly was not sufficient for traveling around Origin Blue Star. Esmeralda had done so in the past, but that was before the Spiritual Tide had returned.

If one were to try again now, Tang Qi believed that even with Esmeralda’s power, it would be difficult to survive.

On the Mysterious Side, one misstep could mean no second chances.

Seeing his thoughts drifting away again, Tang Qi collected himself and refocused on the page.

Beneath the Hourglass Monster, the second Extraordinary Creature on the wanted list.

“The Sad Ghost, a Professional Level and above Danger Source, belonging to the Chaotic Camp, is an unknown Life Form, suspected to exist in the state of a Ghost. It is rarely observed directly; instead, its presence causes light distortion, electrical failures, and such problems. It poses a huge threat to Life Forms. Its power seems to be mind control. Those who make eye contact with it and are deemed by it as expendable will fall into a state of intense sorrow and resort to various methods to end their own lives.”

“Note one: Here, eye contact is used metaphorically; it might be more appropriate to say being actively sensed by it. Three cases have proven that blindness does not exempt one from its killing.”

“Note two: To date, the number of humans killed by the Sad Ghost has risen to nearly a thousand, involving several hundred other Life Forms as well, such as a white cat with a short tail that committed suicide by running into traffic after making eye contact.”

“Note three: Among the dead, nearly a hundred were Transcendents, including thirteen of Professional Level, encompassing Professional Spirit Summoners, Spirit Mediums, Exorcists… Most Extraordinary Powers that counter Ghosts are ineffective against it.”

“Appendix one: Compilation of videos of the dead, non-human Life Forms, and Transcendents.”

“Appendix two: The only photo, the Ghost’s Body.”

The information was more detailed compared to that of the Hourglass Monster.

Tang Qi pondered for a moment, then directly opened the photo.

But what appeared before him was an extremely bloody, solidified scene, seemingly taking place inside a Church, a solemn and majestic place, now more akin to hell, with at least a hundred Believers and Priests each holding a Black Flint Dagger, having sliced open their chests to remove their hearts.

Scarlet blood had flowed everywhere.

Before the bas-relief on one side of the Church, a blue Human Figure outlined appeared, facing the “Lord of Light” sculpture.

Observing for a while, Tang Qi then reached out and clicked on the video.

He directly skipped over human and non-human Life Form videos, clicking and bringing up the Transcendent section.

The first scene quickly entered Tang Qi’s sight.

It was a TV station, featuring an elderly red-haired woman named “Sofia,” a Spirit Medium who also served as a Police Station Consultant. Provoked by the host, she actively Summoned the “Unknown Ghost” that caused the mysterious event in the Church. After completing the ritual, upon making eye contact with the Ghost she seemingly Summoned in front of her…

The old woman’s expression suddenly turned deeply Sorrowful; she rushed out of the studio, yanked open a window, and climbed over it.

Screams erupted.

Immediately afterward, a second similar scene began to unfold.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth… Each one, like the red-haired old lady, possessed Extraordinary Powers, but none had experienced Combat. Just one “eye contact,” and their lives were lost.
