Trickster Hunter

Chapter 128 Level Hunter

"Team leader, the other party refused..." the subordinate said weakly, "This hunter is his own boss. After he got the certificate of the level hunter, he founded a private monster handling company. We are currently in a purely commercial cooperation relationship... We signed a contract with this company a week ago, hiring them to "hunt" hunters participating in the upgrade trial. But in this contract, it only mentioned that they should try their best to cooperate with our actions and not harm the lives of the trial participants, and did not mention that they must obey our command completely..."

"Damn... These mercenaries are always the most disobedient!" The team leader cursed with a fragrant mouth, "Tell them that the contract is invalid and let this person withdraw from the trial immediately. We will pay the penalty! Damn, he can't do a few things well, and he will only make trouble!"

"We have communicated, and the other party said that money is not the key, and he doesn't need us to pay the penalty ... His purpose was just to see the target's ability. "The subordinate couldn't help but lower his voice, "What happened in the mall has spread among the hunters. It's the first time in so many years that hostages have been taken as bargaining chips... In the eyes of those hunters, Sun Hang's behavior is equivalent to slapping them in the face..."

"Stupid, right? Isn't he slapping our Tianshu Tower in the face? What does this group of guys have to do with it?"

"Team leader, don't you understand yet? The current position of Tianshu Tower and the hunters of Chunming City are one." The subordinate explained, "In the eyes of those hunters, our performance is too 'cowardly', which is equivalent to making the hunters of Chunming City lose face... And the behavior of that hunter, in the words of the underworld, is called 'looking for trouble'."

"A bunch of reckless men! Don't you have a sense of the overall situation?" The team leader was so angry that he crumpled the paper cup on the table into a ball and threw it hard against the wall.

"But this is not necessarily a bad thing..." the subordinate whispered, "We have tried our best to stop the hunter and fulfilled our due responsibilities. If the puppeteer is really injured in the conflict, the responsibility will also be borne by the hunter who did not obey the command... Team leader, don't you think so?"

...

...

Yixiu District, Shuhe Lane, a convenience store.

"Has there been a strange skeleton following us all the time? I didn't even sense it at all... By the way, can you control the strange skeleton outside your field of vision?"

"Only she can." The puppeteer whispered, "Other strange skeletons have been recovered by the Tianshu Tower, but she is different... Even if I don't control her, she will always follow me."

"It seems that different types of strange skeletons have different characteristics and abilities..." Sun Hang muttered. For some reason, he couldn't help but think of the woman lying on the hospital bed that he had seen in the puppeteer's memory.

As the breath approached, a tall man wearing a black cloak and a "steel fork unparalleled" mask appeared in Sun Hang's field of vision.

"Do you know him?"

"A fourth-level hunter, codenamed 'Overlord', the owner and main hunter of 'Xiang's Weird Hunting Company'." The puppeteer said, "He has worked with me in several missions in the North."

"Weird Hunting Company?" Sun Hang was slightly startled, "Aren't hunters under the jurisdiction of the federal government? Why does this company sound like a private organization?"

"One of the rights of hunters of the same level is that if they have worked in official institutions for five years and passed special audits, they can apply to leave the official institutions, choose to retire or find another job. Some hunters will also choose to establish private hunting companies. These companies mainly serve the powerful and the wealthy, and most of them also maintain cooperative relations with the federation."

After the puppeteer finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Sun Hang, and found that the latter was staring at him in surprise, and a trace of doubt flashed across his expressionless face: "What's wrong?"

"I'm just surprised...you actually said such a long paragraph in one breath." Sun Hang said.

"..."

"According to this meaning, as long as I pass this trial and work for another five years, I can regain my 'freedom'?" Sun Hang asked.

"Well, just report to the Tianshu Tower regularly." The puppeteer nodded.

Sun Hang glanced out the window. It was obvious that the other party had discovered him and was walking towards the convenience store.

"Let's get back to the point. Is this guy strong?"

"Strong."

"What are his abilities?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know? Haven't you worked together?"

"I haven't seen the battle between him and the monsters with my own eyes." The puppeteer shook his head. "He is the main force responsible for hunting targets. My responsibility is to clear the surrounding areas of the battlefield."

"Then how do you know he is strong?"

"In the three expeditions, the battle time did not exceed ten minutes."

"Hiss... It sounds like he is a tough guy." Sun Hang glanced at the convenience store clerk who didn't understand what was going on and said, "Then I'd better go out and fight, otherwise this guy will probably smash this store."

The appearance of "Bawang" attracted a lot of onlookers... What surprised Sun Hang was that some passers-by actually recognized his identity, shouting the code name "Bawang" while taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Sun Hang had long heard from Yang Qi that powerful and well-recorded monster hunters all have many fans of their own, and the fanaticism of these fans is no less than that of star-chasers - some peripherals or souvenirs signed by top hunters can even be sold at incredibly high prices.

In the Xiazhou Federation, there is a very strange phenomenon: the farther away from the border and the less frequent the appearance of monsters in the city, the less discrimination people have against infected people and hunters; on the contrary, in places that often suffer from monster disasters, people mostly keep a respectful distance from hunters.

In cities like Chunming City, it is difficult for people to personally feel the threat of monsters to their survival. In their eyes, monster hunters are more like superheroes with superpowers. They uphold justice and can do everything in heaven and earth. In order to build the confidence of the people, the Xiazhou Federation will also carry out publicity and momentum in this regard.

But in border cities like Tianfu City, the situation is completely different.

Weird creatures invading is a common occurrence, and hunters are no longer "stars" who only appear on the stage and screen. "Perfect heroes" only exist in beautiful propaganda films, not in reality.

Every time a weird creature attacks, there will be a large number of casualties, some of which come from weird creatures, and some from hunters.

These victims will eventually become a number on the file. For the entire federation, they may be insignificant, but for them, it is the end of everything.

Sun Hang suddenly understood why Tianshu Tower wanted to build a school specializing in the study of weird creatures in Tianfu City.

Sun Hang opened the door and walked out of the convenience store.

And a few dozen steps away from him, "Ba Wang" also stopped.

A pair of black eyes looked up and down at Sun Hang through the peephole on the Peking Opera mask.

"Are you the guy... who hijacked the 'puppet master'?" "Ba Wang" asked in a deep voice.
