Trickster Hunter

Chapter 231 Arms and Feet

"It's all right now." Sun Hang habitually snapped his fingers, but at the moment when the snap sounded, the ever-burning lamp suddenly went out.

Everyone instantly entered a state of high alert.

"What's going on?" Yang Qi looked at Sun Hang, "What did you do?"

"It has nothing to do with me, it will go out on its own." Sun Hang said, "Is this the legendary...'ghost blowing out the lamp'?"

"The memetic fluctuations of the Ever-Bright Lantern disappeared..." Ye Xuan, who had been staring at the monitoring instrument, whispered, "It 'suicided'?"

"Isn't this because I was scared to death by the snap of your fingers?" Wang Xiyi stared at Sun Hang's fingers with a complicated expression.

The eternal lantern went out after Sun Hang snapped his fingers. Combined with Sun Hang's outrageous abilities in daily life, it is difficult not to connect the two together.

"Then I'll hit you again?" After saying that, Sun Hang snapped his fingers again.

A crisp sound echoed in the tunnel, but other than that, nothing happened.

Everyone looked at each other, obviously unsure of what to do next.

"Let me go over and take a look." After saying that, Sun Hang quickly walked to the ever-burning lamp and stretched out his hand.

He was not sure whether the extinguishing of the ever-light lamp had anything to do with him...but just now he really just snapped his fingers. As for the three apes, it was even more impossible - every time the three apes appeared, even if they were hidden in the extreme Sun Hang can also sense the hidden corners Its existence seems to be to announce its arrival. It will always show some concrete forms in the scene, whether it is a statue or a pattern... But since Sun Hang's attention was not attracted this time, then This shows that the three apes most likely did not interfere in this matter.

It seemed that for the convenience of adding lamp oil, the distance between the ever-burning lamp and the ground was not high, only two meters. Sun Hang easily reached the lamp holder, and then pulled the entire lamp out of the rock wall with a gentle tug. come out.

Only then did Sun Hang discover that the lower limbs of this human figurine embedded in the rock wall were not feet in human form, but had been transformed into "arms and feet" similar to octopus tentacles.

There was no lamp oil in the oil pan of the everlasting lamp. There was only a layer of condensation stains and a small remaining wick. There was no trace of blackening where the flame had just danced.

Sun Hang held the ever-bright lamp in his hand and looked through it for a while. Except for the strange shape of the infected figurine serving as the lamp holder, there was nothing special about the entire lamp. The material was just ordinary copper-tin alloy. The production process is quite rough, and in many places you can even find mold lines that have not been polished off.

If the figurines were replaced by normal people, this thing would be at best a low-quality imitation that is not popular in the antique market. Apart from the solid materials and the heavy weight, there is nothing worthy of praise at all.

When selling bronze ingots, they may be criticized for having too many impurities.

Could this thing be afraid of being swallowed by me... so it chose to "kill itself"?

Isn't this simply "injuring the enemy eight hundred and injuring oneself ten thousand"?

No, this didn't even hurt eight hundred, it should be "harming oneself and harming others".

"How is it?" Seeing that Sun Hang remained silent, Yang Qi, who was standing far away, couldn't help but asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

"I can't tell." Sun Hang walked back and handed the ever-bright lamp in his hand to Zhulong, "You are an expert, can you tell what's fishy?"

"I'm not an expert, it's just a hobby." Zhulong smiled self-deprecatingly and said modestly, "I only know a lot about serious antiques. I can’t say that I have any knowledge of things, I can only say that I know nothing about them.”

"Then can you tell what kind of antique this thing is imitating?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Purely original." Zhulong turned the lamp over and over again. "This weird shape is very unlucky from the perspective of Feng Shui. Except for a few players who like to hunt for novelties, no one will take this lamp seriously." Buy things and put them at home.”

"But as a decoration for a cult organization's stronghold, it's quite suitable, right?"

"That's right." Zhulong nodded and handed the Changming Lantern into Yang Qi's hand again.

When Yang Qi just picked up the equipment and prepared to conduct a detailed inspection on this thing, a vague whimpering sound suddenly came from the depths of the tunnel.

"You... all heard it, right?" Ye Xuan had already raised her weapon, pointing the muzzle directly at the direction from which the whimpering sound came. "That sound just now was probably not my imagination, right?"

"I heard it." Sun Hang nodded, "It's a bit like the cry of a female ghost in a low-budget horror movie... Well, it seems like something crawled out."

Before Sun Hang finished speaking, a vague thing slowly crawled out from the place shrouded in shadow.

The bright light of several flashlights was instantly locked on its body.

Climbing out of the shadows was a strange skeleton. Its body was severely deformed, with almost no human features left. A messy and dirty long hair covered its entire face, and its legs were trailing behind it. Completely glued together, just like a mermaid in a legendary story - however, at the ends of the legs and below the ankles, they are neither human feet with clear toes nor mermaid fins, but A mass of tentacles covered with festering scabies.

As it crawled hard, the tentacles like a living mop left a winding trail of pus and blood behind it.

"This thing... is the figurine under the eternal lamp?!" Everyone looked at the creeping skeleton, and then looked at the eternal lamp held in Yang Qi's hand - the shapes of the two are almost exactly the same, even the scabies on the deformed tentacles are carved on the figurine.

Previously, Sun Hang thought that it was a flaw left by the poor craftsmanship.

This creepy skeleton supported its body with both hands, and its arms and elbows were covered with a thick layer of keratin. It tilted its upper body and raised its head with effort - although its face was completely blocked by its hair, it could be determined from the angle and direction of its head that this guy's sight was always fixed on the eternal lamp held in Yang Qi's hand.

"If it's a strange body..." Sun Hang turned his head and looked at Zhong Ling, "Can you resonate with this guy?"

"No..." Zhong Ling shook his head, "She...she's not a strange body..."

"Not a strange body? Then it's a strange thing?" Sun Hang muttered, "But I always feel that its breath seems very unstable, not like the kind that has been completely strange..."

"She is human..." Zhong Ling's voice trembled slightly, "She is an infected person, an infected person who has not yet been completely strange."

There is another chapter in the evening
