Trickster Hunter

Chapter 254 "God-Killing Spear"

Ling Xiao shook his head.

"The so-called tricks and equipment are tricks that can be tamed and controlled by humans." Sun Hang said, "And the qualified person is the person who can control these tricks."

Ling Xiao nodded.

Sun Hang once again took out the long sword from the soldier's hand and said to Ling Xiao: "This sword is actually a strange thing. Its ability is that after hitting the target, it can follow the attack. direction, creating an air blade that is as long as the sword blade... But for those who cannot control it, the appearance of the air blade can only depend on luck. "

Sun Hang waved the sword in his hand and made dozens of false cuts at the warriors, but only one of them triggered the effect of the air blade, leaving a shallow knife mark on the armor of the warriors.

"Have you ever played video games?" Sun Hang asked.

Ling Xiao nodded again.

"This sword is like a weapon with special attack effects in the game. However, in the hands of ordinary people, the probability of triggering its special attack effects is only about 5%. But in the hands of qualified people, this probability can be greatly reduced. It is possible to improve it by even 100%," Sun Hang continued, "This is just an ordinary piece of equipment, like some powerful equipment. If an unqualified person comes into contact with it, it will not be able to exert its power. , but it is still vulnerable to backlash..."

"Backlash?"

"To put it aside, let's just talk about the armor that Ye Jiu wears that looks like a movie prop. That thing is a set of trick equipment, and its name is 'Killing'. Don't look at Ye Jiu wearing it. Walking around like a normal person, if it were anyone else, as soon as he puts on the killing weapon, his mind will be controlled immediately and he will become a murderous madman, killing everyone on sight. "

"How... did he become a qualified person?" Ling Xiao asked.

"I don't know either." Sun Hang shrugged. Ye Jiu had never mentioned this matter before, "But now the Xiazhou Federation's method of selecting qualified candidates is very simple and crude. It is to test you and a certain piece of equipment. Synchronization rate, as long as the synchronization rate is within the qualified range, you can become a qualified candidate for this trick equipment... This method, I feel, is like finding a needle in a haystack.”

"But there are exceptions." Sun Hang added, "I also know a qualified person. Her artifact equipment is a corpse, which is something similar to a zombie after the infected person is not completely transformed. She controls the corpse There is no need for a synchronization rate. As long as the corpse establishes a consciousness link with it during the transformation process, after the transformation is completed, the corpse will turn into her artifact equipment... But this exception cannot be copied, because the name is suitable. The master himself is not an ordinary person.”

"Is she infected?"

"No, no meme has been detected in her body." Sun Hang said, "But I suspect that she is most likely to be a being like a 'superpower'... In this world where weird things are running around, people are emerging among humans. I don’t think it’s too outrageous to have a few people with powers.”

"Are people with superpowers... born?"

"I still don't know. But I think the number of superpowers should be much less than that of monster hunters. Otherwise, the main force for humans to fight against monsters would not be our group of hunters." Sun Hang said.

"..." Ling Xiao looked at Sun Hang, then at the sword in his hand, but said nothing.

"But don't be discouraged. There is another way that can make you a qualified candidate for trick equipment."

"What can I do?"

"The method of matching qualified persons with crafty equipment is too inefficient..." Sun Hang raised his hand and waved, and a passage suddenly separated among the terracotta warriors surrounding the Bone Throne. He walked along this passage. In front of the Bone Throne, he picked up the red square crystal and said, "The correct way is to tailor-make the magic object for the qualified person... Shoot the arrow first, and then draw the target, so that there is no synchronization problem."

"Custom-made...?" Ling Xiao's eyes focused on the red square crystal.

"Tell me what kind of trick equipment you want." Sun Hang sat on the Bone Throne, looking down at Ling Xiao below, "But considering the stability factor, I suggest you choose something more basic. Things, such as knives, swords, bows and arrows, armor, etc. will also work.”

Although trick equipment is not necessarily an artifact, Sun Hang still felt that it was better to be conservative when trying it for the first time.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment, and then took out something from his bag.

It was the pistol that Sun Hang gave him.

"A pistol..." Sun Hang thought for a moment, "This choice is quite smart. As the saying goes, a gun is fast from seven steps, and a gun is accurate and fast within seven steps... But I am not sure about the magic pistol. What effect will it have if ordinary ammunition is fired? Are you sure you want this?"

Ling Xiao nodded seriously.

Two hyphae protruded from Sun Hang's body, one swept away the pistol that Ling Xiao took out, and the other quietly stuck to the back of Ling Xiao's neck.

"The process may be a little painful. You try to stay relaxed. If you really can't bear it, just tell me and I will stop."

"Okay." Ling Xiao said.

Sun Hang held the red square crystal with one hand, and his thoughts were embedded into the gun along the mycelium.

This is a "Type Zero 2 pistol" produced by Siberian Military Industry, but Sun Hang's is a customized type and is a basic self-defense weapon issued to official investigators or field operators of the institute.

The gun uses nine-millimeter pistol bullets with average power and can only deal with unprotected targets at close range - if it is more than fifty meters away, or if the target is wearing a bulletproof vest made of Kevlar (even without a bulletproof insert) ), the deterrent effect of this gun will be greatly reduced.

Sun Hang's official weapon is actually a hunting pistol with a caliber of 12.7mm... But if Ling Xiao were to use it, one shot would probably break his wrist bone.

A strange force surged out from the inside of the red square crystal and penetrated into the gaps between the pistol parts along the hyphae. At the same time, the hyphae attached to the back of Ling Xiao's neck penetrated It ripped through his flesh and penetrated directly into his spine.

The sudden pain made Ling Xiao tremble, but he quickly returned to his standing posture and stared at Sun Hang expressionlessly.

"This is just the beginning."

As soon as Sun Hang finished speaking, Ling Xiao felt an electric shock-like sensation radiating along his spine and around his body. His hands and feet suddenly went limp, and he lost control and collapsed to the ground, beginning to twitch rhythmically. stand up.

"Body paralysis is normal. After all, I temporarily cut off your central nervous system." Sun Hang said calmly.

"I...I...it's okay..."

"You don't have to hold on, just say it if you can't bear it."

"Continue...continue."

"We just completed the connection, the more painful thing is yet to come."

After Sun Hang finished speaking, Ling Xiao felt a terrifying suction force coming from his spine, as if the bone marrow from all over his body was being sucked away... This feeling cannot be regarded as pain, but it is far worse than pain. It was even more unbearable. Ling Xiao, who was curled up on the ground, was shaking violently, and his originally expressionless facial features were now completely distorted.

"Hiss... is it so painful?" Sun Hang glanced at Ling Xiao who was lying on the ground with a guilty look.

In fact, Sun Hang didn't know the details of the operation. He just used the ability of "Wishes Come True" to issue an instruction to the red square crystal - "Create a pistol-shaped artifact that this person can control." "

There was a dense sound of metal friction, and the Zero-Two pistol was disintegrated by an invisible force. All the parts began to deform, and then were put together again.

In this process, the power from the red square crystal is constantly exerting an influence on every part of the gun - Sun Hang can clearly feel that some brand-new meme fragments appear in the parts of the gun. .

But what made him curious was that besides the power of the red square crystal, there seemed to be something else that had been extracted from Ling Xiao's body and integrated into the gun.

Sun Hang didn't know what it was, but it just wasn't a meme - after all, Ling Xiao didn't have that thing in his body.

The entire recasting process took a full hour. Ling Xiao was completely exhausted, and sweat had even seeped onto his coat. He stared at the ceiling of the underground palace with his eyes blankly, breathing heavily.

The red square crystal had returned to calm, and a pistol similar in shape to the Zero-Two appeared in Sun Hang's hand.

The shell of the Zero-Two pistol was originally made of frosted technology, which feels delicate and solid, and does not produce reflections - but now the recast pistol looks like it has been polished and electroplated, and it is shiny. Sun Hang could even see his face reflected in the gun.

In addition, there are many patterns on the gun that are full of weird beauty. There are such patterns on the sleeve, barrel, grip, trigger and even the internal bolt. When Sun Hang tried to grasp this gun While using the pistol, he could vaguely feel a special suction force coming from the pattern - but this suction force was extremely weak, at best, it was similar to the kind of static electricity that can attract hair to a collar.

During the recasting process, Sun Hang clearly felt that there was a value for him to choose - this value seemed to be the "synchronization rate" between this strange pistol and Ling Xiao. Sun Hang originally wanted to directly maximize the synchronization rate. to 100%, but considering that that guy Ye Jiu said that once the synchronization rate between trick equipment and qualified people exceeds 75%, it will become dangerous, Sun Hang finally set this value at a slightly conservative value. of more than 60%.

But what he didn't know was that if this value, which he thought was very conservative, reached the ears of experts who specialized in the study of trick equipment, it would definitely cause a turmoil - every 1% increase in the synchronization rate, for the trick equipment and qualified For readers, it can be regarded as a huge improvement.

Ye Jiu's synchronization rate is only 53%, but he is still among the top among the current qualified candidates.

Except for Zhong Ling's "exception".

"I just don't know what will happen if it exceeds 75%..." Sun Hang muttered in his heart, "Ye Jiu only said that it would be dangerous to exceed 75%, but he didn't mention the dangerous method at all. It really doesn't work...next time Try to build yourself a piece of equipment with a synchronization rate of over 75%?”

Just when Sun Hang was thinking about this problem, Ling Xiao finally calmed down. He climbed up from the ground with some difficulty and touched the back of his neck.

The hyphae had been pulled out long ago, leaving only a small wound on the back of his neck, which was already scabbed.

"The thing is made...but..."

Sun Hang tried to sense the ability of this strange pistol, but the information that emerged in his mind made his expression suddenly become a little awkward.

"But what?" Ling Xiao raised his head and asked.

"This gun has a name, and its name is quite consistent with your vision." Sun Hang said with a complicated expression, "It is called 'God-killing Spear'."

For some reason, Sun Hang subconsciously thought of the "Spear of Longinus" in the Bible.

"God-killing Spear?" Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The name is just a small matter, the real trouble is its ability." Sun Hang continued, "The bullets fired by this gun can deprive the target of vitality, and for strange things, it can erase the opponent's meme... It sounds very powerful, but the specific power depends on the price you have to pay."

"It's my life... right?" Ling Xiao asked.

"How do you know?"

"Just now when I was in a trance, I seemed to hear a voice asking me what kind of creature I wanted, and a similar idea popped up in my head. I told it that I wanted a gun that could kill gods." Ling Xiao said, "The voice said yes, but this gun needs life as bullets."

"...You should change your words." Sun Hang said speechlessly, "Yes, the power of this gun is theoretically unlimited, but without paying for life, it is no different from an ordinary pistol... and if you want to use it to hunt powerful monsters, I'm afraid you will be beaten into a mummy first."

From a certain perspective, the slightly middle school name of this gun is indeed correct.

As long as you can pay enough life, it...can indeed kill gods.

Rather than "paying", Sun Hang feels more like "sacrifice".

Suppose there is a way to get many people to "pull the trigger together"...sacrifice a hundred people, a thousand people...or even a whole city of people.

The bullets fired from this gun may really kill the so-called "god".

Damn it, I just wanted to try it out, how come I ended up with such a buggy thing?

And the most annoying thing is that this gun can only be used by Ling Xiao... Even if he has to sacrifice others, Ling Xiao must be the medium to pay for this vitality - in other words, if he really wants to fire that god-killing shot, no matter how many lives he has to sacrifice, Ling Xiao will definitely not survive.

"This thing... I suggest you don't use it." Sun Hang said, "Put this gun away, don't tell anyone about its ability, I will make you another weird thing next time... As for this gun, just treat it as a trump card that you can use when you are in desperate situations."
