Trickster Hunter

Chapter 265

…

Chunming City, Tianshu Tower, Gengwu District.

"Are you looking for Li Junwen?" A researcher wearing myopia glasses thicker than a beer bottle glanced at the documents in his hand, and then looked at Wang Xiyi and others in front of him, "Although you have obtained direct access to him. Permission to make contact, but I suggest you observe him first before meeting him.”

"Observe?" Ye Jiu was a little confused, "Didn't you say that he is not an infected person? Isn't there still a risk in contact with him?"

"It is true that he is not an infected person...but his behavior and cognition are different from ordinary people. Alas, you will understand after looking at the surveillance."

After the researcher finished speaking, he led everyone to the monitoring room.

"Put the No. 4 surveillance screen in Li Junwen's room on the big screen." The researcher said to his colleagues in the surveillance room.

The picture that was originally divided into dozens of parts on the big screen was suddenly reunited. In a luxuriously decorated living room, a bloated figure... No, bloated may have made it difficult to define the figure of the man in the picture. Accurately In other words, it should be a big ball wrapped in skin. The wrapped fat accumulated on the huge sofa, and strips of fat lines and red, swollen and pus-filled scabies could be seen everywhere on the stretched skin... In fact, even if the researcher told them that the person in the picture was actually an infected person Otherwise, no one will doubt it.

"This person...is Li Junwen?" Yang Qi looked at the file in her hand, then looked at the fat pig in the surveillance screen, and couldn't help but frown.

There are three photos of Li Junwen in the file. One was taken when he was serving as a temporary investigator, the other was the photo on the warrant when he was wanted by the federal government, and the last one was when he returned to the human world from the occupied area. , photos taken after being “accommodated” by Tianshu Tower.

The first photo looks like a young boy; although the face shape of the second photo has not changed much, the whole person's temperament has become much more mature and sophisticated; the third photo has the biggest change... despite taking photos I had already given him a bath and shaved his hair and beard , but the whole person still showed a sense of decadence and fatigue that was visible to the naked eye. Although the skin was clean, the entire face was so thin that it was out of shape, as if a skin had been covered on a skeleton, with deep-set eye sockets. His eyes were dull, and there were very obvious ulcers at the corners of his mouth.

But no matter which photo it was, it could not be equated with the person Yang Qi and the others saw now.

"How can this guy get so fat?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but complain, "Are you raising him like a pig?"

"You really can't blame us..." the researcher said with a wry smile, "Li Junwen seemed to have been stimulated by certain stimuli in the occupied area, which resulted in an extremely strong stress reaction. Among the many stress reactions, the most significant one , is the desire for food.”

"The thirst for food... this is normal." Yang Qi nodded, "After all, it is difficult to find food in the occupied areas. It is normal for people who have been hungry for a long time to have this kind of reaction."

"But his thirst for food is not normal... When he first came here, the total calories he ate every day was at least eight to ten times that of a normal adult... And, even so, he still kept He is crying out for hunger. Once his food needs are not met, he will fall into a state of extreme irritability and even extreme panic, and will try to attack and destroy everything in sight, and even self-harm," the researcher said.

Ye Jiu subconsciously turned to look at Wang Xiyi, but the latter stared back: "I eat a lot because I consume a lot. This person's situation is completely different from mine."

"Aren't sedatives useful?" Yang Qi asked.

"It worked at first, but the effect was limited, and resistance quickly appeared." The researcher replied, "In addition, we need to observe his daily life to collect information, so it is impossible to keep him in a dormant state for a long time. …”

"So you just keep giving him food?" Ye Jiu said in shock.

"Yes... With such overeating, he quickly developed problems with his gastrointestinal system." The researcher sighed, "He has undergone more than twenty gastrointestinal surgeries alone, and now his esophagus, stomach And more than 70 percent of the large and small intestines are artificial,” the researcher said.

"Then the gastrointestinal system you modified for him is quite strong. It can make people so fat..." Ye Jiu complained, "Generally, people with gastrointestinal problems do not absorb nutrients well. Isn’t it fattening? My sister has this kind of physique. She is 1.7 meters tall but weighs less than 90 pounds. "

"In addition to his unusually huge appetite, he also has another quirk, that is, he likes to eat raw meat, and it must be fresh, bloody raw meat." The researcher said, "Of course, in an experiment, we found that if If there is no fresh meat, he will also eat rotten meat, but his mood will become extremely low when eating. "

"Who can be happy eating rotten meat... The second part of your sentence is not pure nonsense?" Ye Jiu said.

"His eccentricities may be related to his experiences in the enemy-occupied area." Yang Qi said, "It's hard to imagine what he ate to survive there."

"What's unimaginable... I'll eat whatever I can eat." Wang Xiyi said expressionlessly, "Grass roots, moss, bugs, all kinds of animals... which must also include rotting corpses. All I can say is that he I’m really lucky that I didn’t eat anything infected by the weird memes or those deadly microorganisms.”

"It's also possible that he ate it but was not infected." Yang Qi said solemnly.

The probability of getting infected by eating monsters is high, but not 100%.

"One more thing... Oh, it's dinner time, Lao Liu, turn the camera thirty degrees to the left." The researcher patted the shoulder of his colleague sitting in front of the console.

Yang Qi glanced at her watch. It was now 9:50 in the morning, which was not meal time at all.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that he eats every twenty minutes." The researcher obviously noticed Yang Qi looking at her watch. "The meal I mentioned refers to his eating time."

As the camera moved, everyone discovered that in this luxuriously decorated room, more than half of the space was occupied by more than a dozen iron shelves, with several processed pig fans hanging on each iron shelf. Beef and mutton.

If the other half of this room can be regarded as a top-notch mansion, then this half is completely the building of a meat processing plant.

"No, buddy." Ye Jiu was speechless, "You just hang this meat in his room? With your ability, you can process the meat and store it. When he wants to eat it, it will be delivered directly to him by machine. It should be It’s very easy, right?”

"This involves another quirk of his, which is what I was just about to say but was interrupted." The researcher continued, "He has a strong sense of crisis regarding food shortages and must always ensure his vision. There is enough food in it, otherwise he will still fall into a state of anxiety and mania. We tried setting up a window in his room that can automatically spit out food, but it didn't work."

"Good guy, this is even more outrageous than the most crazy barmate in the survival bar." Ye Jiu muttered, "Now I am really curious about his experience in the occupied area... By the way, he has mentioned this. Something?"

"Never." The researcher shook his head regretfully, "He has never mentioned that experience... and we don't dare to take any strong measures against him."

"Didn't you use other methods?" Yang Qi turned to look at the researcher, "For example... hypnosis?"

"Of course we tried it. That time we invited a famous hypnosis master, but during the hypnosis process, Li Junwen suddenly became violent, strangled the hypnosis master's neck, and bit off her face with his teeth. A big piece of meat...if the security personnel hadn’t rushed to it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.”

"Uh, allow me to interrupt..." Ye Jiu suddenly said, "The piece of meat bitten off the face of the hypnotic master...did he swallow it?"

The researcher nodded: "He ate it."

"Hiss...even eat people?"

"That's why I was surprised when I first received the documents sent from above." The researcher sighed. "The difficulty of your trip is not to obtain the permission to pick up the person, nor even how to transport him." When we arrived at the mission location...the biggest difficulty was communicating with him.”

"It's hard for me to think about it." Ye Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "This man doesn't even want to talk about his experience in the occupied area. He must be suffering from severe PTSD... If we tell him to take him back to the occupied area, what will happen if we tell him to take him back to the occupied area? The guy will probably jump up and fight us, right?"

At this time, Li Junwen in the surveillance screen had already started eating - an iron shelf with half a fan of pork hanging on it moved in front of him. Under the rapid and precise cutting of the laser knife, the pieces of raw meat with slightly burnt edges fell into a place that had already been eaten. Li Junwen sat up with some difficulty on the prepared metal plate, reached out and pinched the meat slices, and stuffed them into his mouth eagerly.

"Eating pork raw is awesome." Ye Jiu complained.

Although the raw pork provided by Tianshu Tower is definitely free of parasites such as pork tapeworms, the taste and texture of raw pork are not much better just by imagining it. However, Li Junwen tastes as if he is enjoying the world. The most delicious thing is the same... After eating, he even jumped directly on the half fan of pork and started to chew it with his teeth.

Seeing him greedily sucking the blood oozing out of the raw meat, everyone couldn't help but feel horrified.

"Actually... we don't necessarily need him to lead the way." Yang Qi said hesitantly, "As long as we can get some valuable information from him, our trip will be worthwhile."

"Obtained some valuable information from him..." The researcher smiled bitterly, "We have been working on this for twenty years, but there is still no progress."

"Can he communicate like a normal person?" Wang Xiyi suddenly stood up and asked.

"When he's full, yes." The researcher nodded.

"I'll go in and talk to him." Wang Xiyi said.

"I'll go in with you." Yang Qi also stood up immediately, stretched out her hand without leaving a trace, and held Wang Xiyi's fist.

…

As usual, Li Junwen had just finished eating and when he lay down again comfortably, the password door on one side of the room was suddenly opened. A tall man with a pair of curved horns on his head and dragging behind him A beautiful female "person" with a long tail walked in, followed by a female researcher wearing a white coat and goggles on her face.

"You...who are you?" Li Junwen was obviously a little scared when he saw Wang Xiyi for the first time, but after seeing Yang Qi following Wang Xiyi, his fear seemed to ease, "There are also researchers ...You...what are you going to do? Where are the researchers responsible for me?"

"We are from Tianfu City. I want to talk to you about something." The two women sat down on the sofa opposite Li Junwen.

"If it's those things, then let's not talk about it." Li Junwen's eyes moved to the wall on one side, "I forgot, I can't remember it at all."

"Really?" A faint blue flame ignited on Wang Xiyi's fingertips.

The temperature in the room suddenly rose.

"Are you a hunter? Are they going to ask you to force me to speak?" Li Junwen suddenly smiled, "It's useless... I really forgot. Even if you kill me, it will be useless."

"Did you know that the human brain has a protective mechanism that will automatically forget those bad memories." Yang Qi said calmly, "But this 'forget' needs to be in quotation marks, because you don't really forget it. Instead, I sealed them in the depths of my mind...I think I might be able to find a way to help you remember them."

"Then you should kill me, I'm not afraid of death." Li Junwen has obviously experienced similar conversations countless times, "I was already prepared to be shot when I surrendered. You said, I still What is there to be afraid of... I also know that I am very abnormal now... Haha, look at me like this, I still look like Are you a normal person? Overeating, eating raw meat, drinking blood, and losing control when you can't see the mountains of food... Do you think I don't know that I'm not normal? I know it, but I know it so well! I can't control myself! Hehe... maybe if you kill me, it will be a relief for me. "

"Damn, what the hell?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but cursed in the monitoring room.

"Are you not afraid of death?" Wang Xiyi asked.

"Not afraid."

"Then are you afraid of hunger..." Wang Xiyi asked again.

"...Not afraid." Li Junwen replied after hesitating for a few seconds.

"At worst, I'll starve to death." After a while, he added, "It's a relief."

"Are you afraid? We will take you back to that place." Wang Xiyi finally asked.

This time, Li Junwen's eyes finally changed.

A deep fear welled up in his eyes.
