Chapter 105: Chapter 105: The Town Full of Suspicions
?
As Andy was being led away, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he might be facing a prison sentence, it was still better than being dead.
Meanwhile, Qin Muye was communicating with the mayor. The mayor was curious about the pumpkin-headed evil spirit but also felt fear and recognized the boning knife as belonging to a psychotic murderer from outside Akam Town.
"I always thought the pumpkin-headed evil spirit was a myth. When I was a kid, my grandma used to scare me with it."
The mayor naturally had to show up regarding the presence of a murderer in the town. After all, Akman Town was not very large. The law enforcement bureau had also communicated with the mayor, especially since it involved the newly arrived priest.No?v(el)B\\jnn
"Well, haven''t you seen for yourself if it''s just a legend, Mr. Mayor? This thing is not simple," Qin Muye said with a light laugh.
"Speaking of which, who are these people..." The mayor quickly shifted the topic to Tian Qi and Evangelical Spirit Monster, inevitably suspicious given their sudden appearance.
"Some people who must not be named, their main task is to help Akman Town cleanse some supernatural existences and suppress certain things in the church," Qin Muye vaguely explained.
The mayor''s face changed, and he then asked in a low voice, "Is Akman Town really in such serious trouble?"
"This time, besides the pumpkin-headed evil spirit, there is also a witch living outside the town, the Romani girl who gave them warnings, these are all suspicious points. Plus, you''ve seen the boning knife too, which I encountered before I arrived, belonging to a murderer who liked turning people into sausages."
"Aren''t these issues severe enough?"
The mayor was rendered speechless by these words and could only force a wry smile in the end.
"I''ve always been curious why Akman Town, being in such a state, hasn''t reported it to the council to have soldiers dispatched to clean it up," Qin Muye countered.
"Sorry, Father Andrew, these matters involve council secrets, just like the people you brought cannot be discussed," the mayor explained falteringly.
"Okay, I understand, and I won''t delve into this, but I hope, Mr. Mayor, you won''t pry into the church''s secrets either. After all, curiosity can kill, especially when it comes to dangerous secrets," Qin Muye said, warningly taking advantage of the situation.
"Don''t worry, Father Andrew. Divine matters to the divine, and human matters to the human. If you need anything for the exorcism, you can come to me anytime, and the entire town''s governmental system will cooperate with you," the mayor reassured him profoundly.
The other party did not show any displeasure or disdain; instead, he was prepared to have Akman Town cooperate with Qin Muye''s exorcism activities, as this was related to their very lives. Who knew if there were still monsters that could easily take one''s life lurking around? "Then, thank you very much, Mr. Mayor," Qin Muye would not refuse, as he had called the authorities precisely to obtain official support-why else would he fight alone?
With official backing, Qin Muye would gain more social resources support, at least not lacking in operational funds.
"Just, Father Andrew, our Akman Town can only support you with intelligence or financial support. As for military support, I''m afraid we can''t do that. Our law enforcement personnel are not abundant, and there are no military forces stationed, so..."
"You can be completely assured on that front, Mr. Mayor; they will solve the problem of force," Qin Muye picked up on the mayor''s implication-that they could give money and assistance, but facing those monsters was out of the question.
responding.
"Good to know. After all, you are here to ensure my safety, you can''t be reckless. If you were, and fell for strategies like luring the tiger away from the mountain or making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, what would happen if I were left alone? I''d have to flee," Qin
Muye cautioned.
A bodyguard must fulfill the duty of protection.
Now that Tian Qi was slightly less powerful, he couldn''t deal with all possible dangers to protect Qin Muye, so he could only assist by being more cunning and crafty.
After handling that, Qin Muye began studying the head of the pumpkin-headed Evil Spirit.
The thing really just looked like a pumpkin head, and he even cut off a piece of the pumpkin to
study.
From the feel and the smell, there was nothing particularly special about it. If there was anything unique, it was that the pumpkin seemed to be its core.
The other parts possessed physical qualities exceeding those of ordinary humans. By classification, it approximately had the strength of a third-tier Soldier, starting with an attack and defense of 30, and also possessing numerous skills.
However, it didn''t reach the level of a Hero unit.
Moreover, it felt no pain, did not fear death, and had various other characteristics, making it virtually invincible against ordinary people. Even firearms wouldn''t work unless the head was
blown off.
But since it was a summoned creature, if it died, it was probably possible to bring it back by replacing the pumpkin head.
It was just unknown what the cost would be. If it was reasonably priced, Qin Muye wouldn''t mind raising a pumpkin-headed Evil Spirit.
"I wonder when that witch will come to find me. It would be perfect to ask her directly how this thing is summoned; maybe I could get one myself," Qin Muye murmured to himself.
The mess in this small town was too much, but for Qin Muye, it was good news, as exploring the diversity of species was quite valuable.
Perhaps researching it could even be applied to the modification of Spirit Monsters, like augmenting the Spirit Monsters'' innate deficiencies with a strong body. Eventually, having skills, Attributes advancing together, crafting a Spirit Monster on par with the Divine would
indeed be interesting.
Moreover, achieving sufficient results could further enhance the potential of Spirit Monsters, enhancing their growth ability.
