Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 237 - : Little Girl
Chapter 237 -237: Little Girl
Tang Qi’s “my home” clearly wasn’t referring to Thorns Campus.
After resolving the major event of the Evil God’s descent, Tang Qi originally thought that the seals left by the Holy Confessor, Martin Sims, within the campus were almost all dealt with — first, a Desire Demon, and then the Evil God’s Intestines; it felt like that was about it.
Who knew that, through the feedback of the keenly perceptive Little Guy, Night Beast, there was still the presence of the Power of Confession within the campus.
That is to say, there were other seals.
Faced with this situation, apart from Tang Qi sighing, “The old man sure has plenty of free time,” his only choice was to shell out some Divine Grace Coins to buy the brick-and-stone building as a residence. In case he encountered an evil presence he couldn’t handle in the future, he could still hide within the campus.
Although Tang Qi had no idea which camp Andre Poli, this virus body, would be classified under in the Camp Detection released by Martin Sims’s seal,
a random guess suggested he definitely wouldn’t align with Order and Justice; being considered neutrally evil would be quite good already.
What if he was taken into the campus and got wiped out by a blast of the Power of Confession?
It would not matter much if he were wiped out, but if it left behind some troublesome issues for Tang Qi to clean up, that would be bad.
Thus, Tang Qi’s decision was to take Poli back to his villa, which he had not sold but sealed up. He could no longer stay at the police station — apart from protecting the detectives who lacked extraordinary combat abilities, Tang Qi actually had some other plans.
Before leaving with Poli, the two of them received official messages from the higher-ups as well as the Ancient Castle Bureau.
At the onset of the incident, the female chief had notified the Ancient Castle Bureau.
After all, it’s best left to professionals to handle professional matters, but unexpectedly, the Ancient Castle Bureau’s “jurisdiction” was revoked.
To be precise, they had no authority to intervene.
Upon learning about the manifestation of Extraordinary Power, the FBI became more resolute in denying the Ancient Castle Bureau and decided to dispatch a special squad to take over; however, the team was some distance from Messer City, so they requested the police station to ensure Andre Poli was properly secured, waiting for their arrival.
This kind of feedback naturally would drive the female chief to curse.
But cursing was futile. Compared to other countries, the states of the Divine Eagle Federation indeed have a high level of autonomy, but still many powers belong to the Federation.
If even the Ancient Castle Bureau had no power to struggle, then Messer Police Station, being a “small fry,” had even less ability to resist.
Fortunately, Tang Qi was nominally a Special Advisor; with the tacit approval of the female chief, he exercised his authority to smoothly take Poli away.
Poli was not keen on leaving the comfortable cell, but in front of Tang Qi, he too was a small fry.
Under the Body Control Spell, Andre Poli very “obediently” followed the two and left the police station. Amid the wailing of police sirens, they quickly reached Rocky Community.
The familiar tranquil environment, the familiar villa.
Re-entering, everything inside was the same as when they had left, and since it had been regularly cleaned, there wasn’t much dust. Tang Qi, as the host, had prepared dinner for Stanna; if not for the presence of an extremely ugly “third wheel,” the atmosphere would also have been quite good.
Soon, night fell.
In the villa, the now-empty living room contained two high-back chairs, each with a human figure sitting.
“Mr. Poli, before the so-called second Hound arrives, perhaps you could tell me some information about the Hound Corps. After all, you wouldn’t mind leaking this information now, would you?”
The one being questioned was kneeling on the floor tiles, face full of anger.
Furthermore, he was tied up in an extremely shameful position. The seemingly thick hemp rope wasn’t actually doing much, and he could break free the moment he could move.
Well, the problem was that he couldn’t move, and he had tied the ropes himself.
Andre Poli, who believed he was going to be “legendary,” glared at Tang Qi with rage and hoarsely said, “Untie me, and I’ll talk.”
“Sure!”
“Snap”
A snapping finger instantly resonated.
The hemp rope fell flurried, and just as Poli was about to express his surprise and joy, he quickly found that he still couldn’t move.
Apart from not being tied anymore, he remained kneeling.
“Speak!”
Poli’s eyes twisted with violent anger, wishing he could tear apart the seemingly naïve consultant in front of him.
However, his constantly evolving abilities told him that he must not defy him; it was very dangerous, an overwhelmingly strong sense of danger, forcing Poli to act as well-behaved as a good baby. If his comrades from the Hound Corps reserves were to see this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
Andre Poli, a narcissist who looks down on everyone except Mr. Leckter, is actually being so obedient in front of a brat.
“Mr. Leckter sees humans as sheep, and he himself is the Shepherd, with the Hound Corps naturally being the vicious dogs he rears.”
After Tang Qi spits out that word, Poli indeed begins to speak, subdued.
As if gripped by the compulsion to tell stories, Andre Poli tilts his head, staring at Tang Qi and Stanna, and continues in an ominous tone: “The Hound Corps are a group of real monsters. Even before they took the Evil Flower Potion, they were already freaks among humans, none of them normal.”
“The potion has an extremely high mortality rate, and those who succeed are invariably both powerful and deranged. They consider themselves Leckter’s loyal dogs, willing to do anything for the cult, sorting themselves into color-coded classes.”
“There are seven colors in total, exactly corresponding to the Ancestor’s Flower. Besides last night’s Yellow Hound, there is also…”
“Thump thump~”

Poli is cut off mid-sentence by a sudden knock on the door.
Suddenly, both Stanna and Poli’s expressions change.
“Have they come?”
Poli struggles desperately to turn his head to look at the door, but unfortunately, he has already lost control of his body.
“Don’t be nervous; a real Hound, how could they knock on the door so politely?”
At this moment, Tang Qi is seen smiling as he gets up and walks straight to the villa’s door, without hesitation pulling the heavy door open.
Hmm?
None of the three saw the monster they were expecting.
Standing at the door at this moment is a pitiable little girl.
She wears a thin black dress, her curly hair falls loosely, a collar around her neck, similar accessories on her wrists, her bare feet are muddied, and while it isn’t the dead of winter, the sudden drop in temperature at night still makes the cute little girl shiver from the cold.
The little girl looks up at Tang Qi, shrinking back slightly, “Big brother, I got separated from my mom and dad during the day, does your house have a phone, can I borrow it please?”
“I’m so cold!”
A completely tender child’s voice, no abnormalities detected.
Moreover, the exposed skin is covered in goosebumps, her cute little face red from the cold. Anyone with even a bit of compassion would take this little girl inside, prepare a warm drink, and help contact her parents.
That’s exactly what Tang Qi does.
Showing a face of pity, he takes the little girl by the hand and leads her inside, saying sympathetically, “Poor little girl, come on in and warm up.”
“Ah!”
When Tang Qi clears the way, the little girl naturally sees Andre Poli.
There shouldn’t be a little girl in the world who wouldn’t scream at the sight of such a terrifying monster.
But there also shouldn’t be a little girl who, while screaming in fear, bursts out with ghostly speed to rush towards… Stanna.
Yes, she chooses Stanna.
Obviously, she did her homework before coming here, at least knowing who was the cause of the “Yellow Hound’s” death.
Buzz!
Suddenly, just as the little girl bursts out, she senses something wrong; her body stays in place, right next to the frail advisor.
A pale hand rests on her shoulder.
A terrifying Giant Force pins her right there, rendering her immobile.
At this moment, Tang Qi has a face full of helplessness, he sighs softly, and with a very resentful look, he speaks to the little girl, “Why aren’t you playing by the rules? I specifically played along with you for a while, and the moment you enter the house, you reveal yourself.”
“If you don’t give a satisfying answer, I will be very angry, Ms. At least forty years old.”
“Sss~”
An exclamation also comes from Stanna.
She seems to have discovered a New Continent, with the Red Rhino wine halfway to her mouth, she can’t help but turn in surprise.
