Trickster Hunter

Chapter 241 Ling Xiao

"That was a...very beautiful woman." The boy recalled, "She sat at the highest point of the ruins, and her whole body was emitting a faint light... She was more beautiful than any woman I have ever seen."

A beautiful woman? Emitting a faint light?

Sun Hang looked at the boy with some doubts, and the next second, he made a decision-rather than making endless guesses based on the boy's description, it would be better to directly see the "real scene" he saw at the time.

"You may feel something strange next, but don't worry, you just need to stay calm." Sun Hang said.

This sentence is actually a bit redundant-the boy's emotions have always been calm, whether it was when Sun Hang kicked him away or when he shot Sun Hang in the head.

"Oh." The boy nodded.

The ability of "memory reading" was instantly activated, and a series of chaotic scenes flashed before Sun Hang's eyes, until he went back to the night a few days ago, when the boy who was scavenging in the ruins raised his head and saw the woman.

"Sure enough." Sun Hang frowned slightly.

This woman was none other than "Anna Dimoshinna" who escaped from the Institute of Nameless Island.

Sun Hang finally understood why this boy gave him a familiar feeling... Obviously, Anna devoured his emotions - he was not calm and steady beyond his age, but because he had lost his emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, just like the hunters "captured" by Anna on Nameless Island.

"Anna... Is this guy already lurking in the city..." Sun Hang couldn't help but feel annoyed.

For Sun Hang, Anna was neither an enemy nor a friend, and it was difficult to define her camp. But the trouble is that this guy has no normal concept of good and evil, and is extremely indifferent to human life. If what happened in Lizhou City is repeated in Tianfu City...

The population density of Tianfu City is much higher than that of Lizhou City. If there is such a thing in the downtown area, the number of casualties will definitely be hundreds of thousands.

But what made Sun Hang a little puzzled was that Anna only devoured the boy's emotions, but did not kill the boy... She did not take any action against the boy's family who were close at hand.

What is this?

A small dessert before dinner? Or simply a leniency?

What confused Sun Hang the most was that Anna actually called herself a god in front of the boy...

If this guy is a god, then what is she?

God's mother?

This is a bit nonsense.

Sun Hang would rather think that Anna was just teasing the little boy...She would show up in front of the little boy, talk to him, and devour his emotions...All this may just be her whim.

It's like a monster wandering between heaven and earth with nothing to do, finding a little fun for herself when she is bored.

In Sun Hang's opinion, the word monster is more suitable for her than god.

"I know the woman you saw." Sun Hang said to the boy.

"Really?" The boy was stunned for a moment, but his face was still expressionless.

"She is not a god, she is a very dangerous monster." Sun Hang said, "She may have killed more people than you can name in your memory... The reason why she spared your life may be just because she was in a good mood that night."

"Such a beautiful woman... is a monster?" The boy murmured.

"Didn't your mother tell you that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is?"

"My mother never told me this." The boy shook his head.

The image of the middle-aged woman just off the stage appeared in Sun Hang's mind, and he nodded in agreement: "That's right."

He threw the pistol to the boy and said: "This gun is for you. When you see that woman next time, just like I taught you, shoot her in the head - if the head is hard to aim at, the chest and abdomen can also be considered as a vital point."

"Okay, I know." The boy nodded and put away the pistol very carefully.

Sun Hang breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, Anna did not implant something like a "thought stamp" in the boy's heart, making the boy firmly believe that "she is a god"... Otherwise, this matter would be troublesome to deal with.

Sun Hang does not want someone in his army to worship her as a god...

No.

Sun Hang recalled what he saw and heard in the boy's memory, and he suddenly realized something.

This boy does not seem to believe in God at all.

Even if he firmly believes that Anna is a god, this cognition will not have any effect on his behavior.

"Ask you something." Sun Hang said.

"If there really is a god in this world, would you pull the trigger on God?" Sun Hang thought for a while and added, "If that god is not a good thing."

"Yes." The boy replied.

"That's good, I need someone like you." Sun Hang patted the boy on the shoulder, "By the way, I haven't asked what your name is yet."

"Ling Xiao." The boy replied.

"Lingxiao of Lingxiao Palace?"

"Ling of early morning, Xiao of bravery."

"Nice name." Sun Hang said, "From now on, you are the No. 1 student of the training base."

……

……

Not long after, Ye Jiu came over with a pile of forms. From the expression on his face, it could be seen that the recruitment work did not seem to go so smoothly.

"What's wrong? You look sad?" Sun Hang asked.

"People who signed up are very enthusiastic...but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that nine out of ten of these people don't meet the requirements." Ye Jiu glanced at Ling Xiao who had completed the registration form next to him, and continued, "There are only six adults who meet the requirements, and minors. Including him, there are only two people... And this is just the age threshold, not even the preliminary screening... After the physical examination is completed, it will be good to have one person left among the eight. "

The age threshold for the training camp was discussed among everyone. It was initially set as 12 to 17 years old for minors and 18 to 45 years old for adults... Sun Hang thought that this threshold was already set very broadly. Especially for adults, for civilians who have not received professional training, their physical fitness has begun to decline after the age of thirty, and it is common for their bodies to gain weight in their early forties... For such people , if they can't run out of breath even if they run a hundred meters, they will definitely not be able to pass the high-intensity training.

"Many children want to sign up, but they are stopped by their parents. After all, there are still a small number of beasts like Chen Hongjuan, and the vast majority of parents are still unwilling to send their children to the battlefield - even if we provide benefits No matter how good the treatment is," Yang Lian, who served as Ye Jiu's assistant, added from the side.

"Who is Chen Hongjuan?" Sun Hang asked curiously.

"Ling Xiao's biological mother." Yang Lian took off the Mo Jing, folded it and stuffed it into his pocket. "She is the middle-aged woman who just asked you about your benefits in the audience."

"That big stack of registration forms that Ye Jiu holds in his arms..."

"When I saw how enthusiastic everyone was at the beginning, I immediately handed out the registration forms and asked them to fill them out... Who would have thought that after I collected them, I found that there were not many that met the requirements." Ye Jiu complained, "Thanks to the distribution of registration forms. When I was expressing my feelings, I repeatedly emphasized the age limit, but none of them listened to my feelings..."

"Most of the people who filled out the form were middle-aged and elderly people over fifty years old." Yang Lian said, "Their purpose was not to pass the training at all, but to exchange their lives for a generous pension for their families, and The opportunity to leave Shuzhou."

"To put it in layman's terms, this group of people are risking their lives to fight with us." Ye Jiu said.

"What about the other minor who signed up?" Sun Hang asked.

"That little girl was an orphan. Her family were all killed in the Longyan Barrier incident, and no one stopped her." Yang Lian explained.

"First, qualified applicants will be sent to the research institute for physical examination and mental state review." Sun Hang said, "Most of the people in this No. 6 resettlement camp come from nearby residential areas. The disaster here is relatively mild, and the residents The evacuation is timely, and most of the refugee families have intact families...it is normal for them to be unable to recruit anyone. When the time comes to move to a refugee camp with more orphans, there should be many qualified young people signing up. "

"What you said..." Yang Lian glanced at Sun Hang, "So cold."

"When I first woke up, the tone you spoke to me was not much better." Sun Hang immediately countered, "You just didn't have to put a knife on my neck to force me to sign a contract of betrayal."

"I didn't know what kind of person you were at that time." Yang Lian snorted, "At that time, I was dealing with either shameless old gangsters or vicious death row criminals. I thought you were the same as them. people……"

"I don't believe you haven't seen my file." Sun Hang habitually pointed his middle finger at her, "Does it say I'm a Lao Lao or does it say I'm a death row prisoner?"

"Okay... I admit, I may have just brought the work attitude I am accustomed to to you..." Yang Lian took a long breath and said, "But the problem is that your file at that time was blank except for one name. I don’t even know if this name is true or not, I can only treat you as an illegal refugee... If you need to apologize, I can..."

"Apologies are unnecessary. I suggest some substantial compensation."

"...What compensation do you want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll ask you for it when I think about it later."

"I'm warning... no... I suggest you, it's best not to be too outrageous." Yang Lian looked at Sun Hang warily.

"Don't worry, it's definitely something you can get."

"..." Yang Lian pursed her lips and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, she took out a file with a special mark on the corner from the pile of files and said, "As for this file, you need to personally Check it out.”

"What's wrong with this file?" Sun Hang took the file and started looking through it, "Jiang Yu, twenty-six years old, female, local household registration in Tianfu City... Oh, she is actually a federal first-class archery athlete, and she has not won the What about the prize... Isn't this a rare talent? If a bow and arrow-type trick equipment is customized for her, she should be able to maximize her own strengths..."

"Don't be too eager to be happy yet. Turn to the third page, the column about disease status." Yang Lian said.

"Oh..." Sun Hang flipped through two pages and found the column Yang Lian was talking about. In this column, the four characters "late stage gastric cancer" were written.

"She quit the Tianfucheng Archery Team because she was diagnosed with gastric cancer last year, and it was the most malignant signet ring cell cancer, which was already in the late stage when it was discovered." Yang Lian said, "I retrieved her medical records from the hospital where she was treated... Her cancer cells spread very quickly, and there was no need for surgery. In the end, she took palliative treatment. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were carried out alternately... Although the Tianfucheng Archery Team and the federal government launched several fundraising campaigns for her, her family is not rich, and the high cost of treatment is still a huge burden."

"So?"

"I think... she signed up for training, maybe for the pension." Yang Lian said, "I don't think a patient with advanced cancer who must rely on chemotherapy and radiotherapy to maintain life can withstand such high-intensity training."

"What about her family?"

"My father died early, and there is only my mother and a younger sister. My mother works in the cafeteria of Tianfucheng University of Technology, and my younger sister just started junior high school this year." Yang Lian said.

"Let her pass." Sun Hang said.

"If you feel sorry for her... you can just give her the money and send her family away from Shuzhou. You have the authority to do that." Yang Lian paused for a moment before continuing, "There's actually no need for her to participate in this kind of training that will kill her."

"Who said it's going to kill her..." Sun Hang glanced at Yang Lian, "Go find her and ask her one question - being tortured to death by cancer, or becoming a 'healthy' infected person, which one would she choose."

"Are you planning to..." Yang Lian opened his eyes slightly, "I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations... Song Yarong's case was an 'emergency avoidance', so there's no need to pursue responsibility, but Jiang Yu's situation is completely different... This is a matter of principle, and infected people You must not take the initiative to infect normal people, even if they are willing. If this rule is broken..."

"Are you stubborn?" Sun Hang was speechless, "Can't she encounter a little accident and then be in danger of death, and I am the only one who can save her, isn't that enough? Besides, you don't think that the live experiments in the institute must comply with these regulations, right?"

Yang Lian looked at Sun Hang, then looked at the file that was stuffed back in his hand, bit his lips hard, and nodded: "...Okay, I will arrange it."

"We are saving her, not harming her." Sun Hang said, "As for that broken rule, let it go. "
