Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Blood Corpse Tree (2nd Update!)

“Gideon, I’ll be right there.”

After saying this, Tang Qi hung up the phone.

At this moment, surprise and confusion clearly showed in his eyes. He had just learned from Gideon not only that the team had resumed work, but also the reason why they had ended their break early.

Last night, a vicious incident occurred in Messer City.

A massacre!

The reason why the entire high society of Messer City was shaken was due to the identity of the dead and their family.

It was a real big shot, a person of noble, parliamentarian, and wealthy statuses.

Also, an “acquaintance” of Tang Qi.

Ronald Kerry!

In the whole Messer City, the Kerry family was among the top-tier nobility, and it was rare that among the old nobility families, the Kerry family had a good reputation.

Although the Spiritual Tide had just returned not long ago, Tang Qi did not believe that such an established family would lack a Transcendent.

Even if they initially had none, they would have likely hired one upon sensing the movements of the Transcendent.

Yet, the Kerry family was annihilated just like that.

Tang Qi didn’t continue to speculate further, instead, he put down those books, took weapons and Curios such as Blood Python One, Heige’s Resentment, and Human Skin Ointment, and before leaving, he thought for a moment and took several vials of secret medicine emitting a pale blue ghost light from the safe.

Going against the student tide, Tang Qi left the school zone surrounded by envious looks from those who saw the Privileged Class.

Taking the police car dispatched by the police station, Tang Qi hurried towards a villa area near the park in the Central City District.

After driving through the bustling streets of the Central District, they quickly entered a quiet area, the clean, wide tree-lined street extended, and a not-so-small villa area appeared. Far from the Blank District, with excellent security and beautiful surroundings, it was the perfect residence for the wealthy.

And this area was actually entirely owned by the Kerry family.

Besides the core family members, there were also many distant relatives and servants dependent on the Kerry family.

Normally, this place wouldn’t exactly be bustling, but the human presence should have been significant.

But now, as the police car headed towards a large villa in the core area, the route was completely silent, not even the sound of insects.

A deathly atmosphere!

Soon, the police car stopped outside the villa, the caution tape was already set up, but the police officers and forensic investigators who should have been busy were all looking unsettled, like they had seen a ghost, staying outside the villa, unwilling to enter.

Among them was also the police officer who brought Tang Qi.

Seemingly already aware of what the scene inside was like, he was pale, his body uncontrollably trembling.

Seeing this, Tang Qi understood implicitly, he did not force the issue but simply nodded his head and entered the villa directly.

Passing through the foyer, a very spacious and luxurious living room appeared before his eyes.

Vaguely, he could see the figures of special response team members who had arrived a bit earlier than Tang Qi.

Click!

The moment Tang Qi stepped into the living room, the scene at the center caught his eye.

Despite having a premonition, he still couldn’t suppress the shock on his face.

He had already seen many Abnormalities, and had experienced disgusting Abnormalities like the “Human Centipede,” but he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.

The center of the living room was completely occupied by something, leaving almost no spare space.

That was a tree, a large tree entirely formed from piled up corpses and flesh.

The Flesh Tree!

With bones as the tree trunk, skin as bark, hair as moss, and warm intestines looking like vines climbing, the blood that should have been flowing and splattering was instead froze into blossoms by a mysterious force, blooming on the “tree.”

And several unshut human heads were scattered around the tree, like fruits.

Beyond horror, there was also a strange sense of beauty.

This scene emerged, even Tang Qi could not help but be shocked, let alone the others. The special response team had gathered the elite of the Messer Police Station, but faced with the scene before them, they still felt somewhat helpless, not knowing where to start.

“Ronald!”

Tang Qi’s gaze fell directly on a large fork in the middle of the tree, where a human head was placed.

Despite the skin turning gray-white, the head still showed the elegance of its owner when alive, meticulous and dignified, a middle-aged gentleman.

His face matched Tang Qi’s memory.

It was the powerful figure who had resolved a trouble for Tang Qi when he first arrived in this world, sparing him future worries.

But unexpectedly, their first real meeting would be in this way.

The noise of Tang Qi’s arrival was naturally heard by the other team members.

If it were any other case, it might have been fine, but a case that clearly falls under the category of “Mysterious homicide”, naturally called for Tang Qi, as the special consultant, to examine it first before making decisions, which was also why Gideon hurriedly notified Tang Qi.

Now, the team members were all present, including Gideon who had called earlier.

Even the female chief seemed to appear here due to the case’s excessively severe implications.

Strangely, although everyone’s faces were somewhat pale, they did not seem too shocked; there was even a hint of excitement in their eyes.

It was one thing for Reine, the forensic girl, and Gideon, the veteran detective, but Nathan and Havier, detectives who were still ordinary humans, also displayed such expressions; normal people shouldn’t be like the police outside, too scared to come in.

These people were even excited, making Tang Qi wonder if he had led these people astray, or if they were inherently twisted.

However, Stanna, knowing the relationship between Tang Qi and Ronald, hesitated a bit.

She probably wanted to say something like “Condolences,” but Tang Qi signaled with his eyes that it was okay.

The original might have been somewhat touched by Ronald’s death, but Tang Qi himself felt no connection, having settled all debts.

The scene was filled with experienced detectives, not akin to some youth who loved to court death, no one had touched the “Flesh Tree” before Tang Qi arrived.

Everything was maintained just as it was discovered.

Tang Qi looked at the Flesh Tree before him, the peculiar familiarity growing stronger.

Suddenly, he turned to look at Stanna.

The team members and female chief shared the same feeling.

In fact, they had secretly looked at Stanna many times before Tang Qi arrived.

The Flesh Tree before them, and the “Blood Demon Flower” that had almost killed Stanna last time, shared a similar aura.

“Hastu Club!”

A thought suddenly surged in Tang Qi’s mind.

He was almost certain that the scene before him was the work of Hastu Club, but he did not know how the Kerry family, a longstanding top-tier family, would get involved with the bizarre Hastu Club.

Breathing out, Tang Qi’s gaze focused intensely on the Flesh Tree.

Immediately, a strong ghost light began to converge.

The next moment, the image that formed completely confirmed his speculation.

“Bam~bam bam”

As the Information Fragments passed, not only did Tang Qi confirm this was definitely the work of Hastu Club, but his heart also couldn’t help beating violently at this moment.
