When he walked in, he found that something was wrong. The office area occupied by his team became larger, and it seemed as if it would take over the whole second floor.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there seemed to be more people who were mainly dealing with documents.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most exaggerated was probably Nathan and Javier. They were still normal detectives a few days ago, but now they were fully armed. They didn’t look like policemen at all. Instead, they were like soldiers who were about to go to war and kind of like elite special forces.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, the additional office professional equipment was not so eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Tang Qi walked in, Stana happened to be holding a document in her hand, and she seemed to have seen the confusion on Tang Qi’s face. She handed the document to him while explaining.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“With the closure of the evil spirit and the ice corpse cases, our team’s privileges within the police station have been increased again. The chief of the police station authorized us to mobilize almost the entire police station’s resources, and we were also equipped with a special unit, which is led by Nathan and Javier according to the standard equipment of the military. Before they became detectives, they were originally members of the special forces. Gideon and Renee are in charge of logistics, and some of them are responsible for file management…”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Sounds very professional.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tang Qi commented as he opened the file.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, he secretly lamented the chief’s skill in maximizing the benefits in such a short time. Not to mention that she suddenly gave the team so many privileges and benefits, even the special forces came out and backed the team. She was a perfect boss.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But these were after Tang Qi and Stana had successfully handled two extraordinary cases.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That meant that the team could really solve extraordinary events.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Realizing this, the chief quickly granted the maximum privileges, although, within the police station, Tang Qi and Stana were known to be responsible.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the chief would definitely not say that when reporting. She deliberately blurred the role of the two, and attributed credit to the “team she established”.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment of the return of the spirit tide, monsters appeared at an unimaginable frequency.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of frequency will not only affect the City of Moses.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same was true for other cities in the Federation.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, not only the Condor Federation but also the entire Origin Blue Star. The other countries or federations would also fall into chaos for a short period of time in the future. Although there might not be a danger of collapsing, the authorities’ handling of the monsters was bound to enter into a tight period.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the church and the army, which can fight against strange forces, would definitely give priority to the top two large cities such as Condor City and the City of Carthage.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other cities could only pray.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this time, the excellent performance of Moses City would appear even more dazzling.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By that time, it was certain that the female chief would be promoted to a higher position and make a fortune.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the thought of this, a little arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. The chief of the police station would not be the only one to obtain benefits. Worldly power and wealth had little appeal for him now. Supernatural power was the reason why Tang Qi appeared with the position of police consultant.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of that contract, Tang Qi could take away the spoils with grandeur, and some of the possible “traps”, such as the wrong version of the magic book and the numbered treasure map, without exception, were all thrown to the police station by him.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the process, Tang Qi didn’t even need to do it himself, it was perfect.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking of this, he closed the file.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although more manpower was added, it seemed that the team could only handle one monster incident at a time. Last time, it was Tang Qi who decided to deal with the ice corpse case. This time, it was the vampire case in Central Avenue which was temporarily delayed by him.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He couldn’t delay it anymore because another death had occurred.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The file in his hand was the latest information of the deceased, but because it happened only last night, he didn’t have time to see the scene photos.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Looking at the corpse, losing blood in the whole body may not necessarily be a strange event, it might just be a perverted serial killer.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">…\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the two entered Renee’s workshop, and after seeing the body in front of him, Tang Qi had to take back the previous sentence.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Humans should not be able to create this kind of scene.”\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renee’s voice trembled when she spoke.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was a courageous forensic doctor but facing the scene in front of her, she still couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The already cold workroom seemed to be frozen by the terrifying atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A corpse was lying on the corpse table, an extremely “strange” corpse.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was… a ball, a ball of flesh.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was completely impossible to distinguish his original appearance. He was probably a middle-aged man. His hands and feet were completely shrunk together and almost integrated with his entire torso. His loose skin looks like a shriveled ball of meat, and many parts of his body seem to be contaminated with something and started to wax.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the middle was a face with a wide mouth and two empty eye sockets. The face was also melted like wax, and a thumb-sized hole appeared on the top of the skull. Looking closer, you can see that the inner wall of the skull was empty.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His brain was missing.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole picture, which was both comical and disgusting, ended up being mixed together, forming an unspeakable horror.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renee had two forensic assistants, a man and a woman, both of whom were high-level forensic experts.
