Chapter 69: Hagrid's Blade

There was only one possibility that could make Tang Qi stop at this moment, he had discovered something good.

The special ability he possessed once again played a role. After pausing for a moment, he turned around and naturally walked deep into the tent, where there was also a wooden table with another serial killer's booth.

Jeffrey Hagrid, a serial killer active between years ten and twenty-three of the Condor calendar. He claimed to have been inspired by the demon, and killed for belief, killing nearly a hundred people in a dozen years with extremely cruel methods, including almost all races and ages. Eventually. he died in prison due to an illness.

He was called the "Demon's Disciple" by the good deeds of the federal media, although this was opposed by the police.

On the exhibition stand, there was a great variety of goods, including clothing worn by Hagrid when he committed the murders, murder tools, on-site photos, oil paintings created while serving his prison sentence. And an item that really attracted Tang Qi's attention.

A knife!

To be exact, it was a bone blade.

The rough workmanship, wooden hilt and yellowing blade made people feel uncomfortable and nauseated.

According to the introduction, the bone blade made out of Jeffrey Hagrid's ribs was sold for 1500 pieces of divine grace.

Seeing the price, Tang Qi frowned immediately.

This price had exceeded that of the Blood Python One.

Thinking of this, he focused his eyes on the bone blade.

A little light flickered, and a special interface popped up.

[Mysterious Object: Hagrid's Blade.]

[Status: Not decrypted.]

[Information Fragment one: The crazy human influenced by the demonic aura, Jeffrey Hager, he killed nearly a hundred people in succession. The spurting blood, sharp screams, and distorted souls were the catalyst for the demonic body to form. All the demonic nature, together with Hagrid's soul were gathered in this bone blade. It's in a sealed state and can be decrypted.]

[Information Fragment two: Decryption Method One. At midnight, hold the bone blade and recite Hagrid's name three times. After summoning his soul and admitting his achievements, a demon blade can be obtained. Decryption method two, find a way to destroy Hagrid's soul, and you can obtain an unknown bone blade.]

"Two deciphering methods?"

Tang Qi couldn't help but be surprised by the information about the bone blade.

Tang Qi has seen some mysterious objects that had been sealed, such as the Golden Furnace's Meditation Method, or the Blood Python One.

But this was the first time that he had seen one with two kinds of decryption methods.

After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly made up his mind.

Buy it!

It was very expensive and required a lot of condor gold coins, but compared to Tang Qi's net worth, it could only be said to be passable.

The most important thing was that compared with mysterious objects, gold coins were less important.

"I'll pay by card!"

Once again, Tang Qi said this, and then handed out his gold card to the wretched businessman who came out of nowhere. Ten or more seconds later, under the strange eyes of the two guards, Tang Qi, a handsome young boy, left the mysterious and disgusting tent with a cloth bag.

He went directly to the circus, and the apprentices had successfully completed the task. Tang Qi checked and confirmed that all the materials he needed were all purchased, paid the tip happily, and then took a carriage specifically arranged by the circus.

Yes, a carriage.

Fortunately, in addition to its modernization, Moses City also takes into account some historical and cultural factors. During the day, some nostalgic residents who liked carriages could occasionally be seen traveling in them, which was also a good income generating industry.

It was just a little weird in the early morning.

But Tang Qi was in a good mood. The night market at Blue Bear Park made him very satisfied with the harvest.

To make a secret potion, although it didn't require the addition of mysterious objects, and even most low-grade secret potions didn't need supernatural objects at all. On the other hand, they required a large number of rare materials. The function of the secret potion formula was probably to extract unusual ingredients from these materials.

Eventually, it becomes a secret potion with extraordinary power.

If he had collected those materials at Central Avenue, he wouldn't have been able to complete it without a year and half.

But that night, it was different.

Those mountain dwellers and aborigines brought all kinds of rare materials from various deep mountains, swamps, and valleys to perfectly meet Tang Qi's requirements.

With the jingling from the circus's unique bell hanging on the carriage, Tang Qi soon returned to the Thorn Campus.

After giving the coachman a few silver coins, the strong man named Larry, with a stubble on his face, simply locked the carriage, and then helped Tang Qi move the small and big bags into the campus.

He opened the iron gate and asked Larry to move the materials into the small living room on the first floor. Tang Qi then walked out of the door and habitually went to get various newspapers and magazines from the newspaper box.

After moving into the thorn campus, this was a habit that he had always maintained. Although the information was also screened, in this era, there was no more convenient way to get information from the outside world than subscribing to newspapers and magazines.

Tang Qi's favorites were the harsh and objective "Moses Evening News", the "Purple Moon" which was keen on mysterious information, and the "Universal Wrench Magazine" that introduced various technologies.

As usual, Tang Qi took out a stack of newspapers.

As he was about to return to the house, something that had never appeared before fell out of the newspaper.

It was an envelope!

Apparently, the opening was not tightly sealed. Following Tang Qi's actions, the contents of the envelope and a stack of photos slipped out at the same time. With the help of the light reflected in the room, Tang Qi immediately saw the contents of those photos.

In the photo, there was a group of black people.

It looked like.... A family!

...

"Crunch"

All of a sudden, blue veins stood out on Tang Qi's hands and he clenched the stack of newspapers with a strange expression on his face. He quickly adjusted his attitude, put the newspapers and magazines into the box, and then bent down to pick up the photos one by one and put them back into the envelope.

Then he gave the payment to Larry with his expression as usual and said goodbye to the coachman.

Tang Qi followed the routine again, brewed himself a mug of coffee and prepared some snacks, then sat on the sofa and reopened the envelope.

The first picture was a group portrait.

The photographer seemed to be on the right side of the screen, some distance away. The scene in the photo was a sealed villa. Outside the big iron gate of the villa, there were a total of eight black people, including male and female, all looking a little gloomy.

The villa belonged to Tang Qi.

The appearance of these photos was because of a small foreshadowing before Tang Qi left.

He talked to his neighbor who had to sell his villa because he couldn't make ends meet, and gave him a sum of emergency money, only asking him for a small favor. Set up a camera in the room next to the window of his villa. Once a "visitor" appeared outside his villa, to take photos and send them to him.

After staying in the thorn campus for a period of time, Tang Qi never received it.

He had thought that it would take some time, but he didn't expect a surprise on his first day in office as a "police consultant".
