Trickster Hunter

Chapter 76 Type A monster?

"Three strange statues in the shape of apes..." Song Yarong showed a thoughtful look, and the prosthetic eye in her eye socket turned in a circle, "To be honest, I have no impression... You can describe it no better. Can you be more detailed? For example, information such as size, material, and the shape and movement of the statue.”

"I'm not sure about the size and material." Sun Hang shook his head, "But their posture seems to be that one is covering his eyes, one is covering his ears, and the last one is covering his mouth."

"Three apes?" Ye Jiu suddenly said.

"Do you know this thing?" Sun Hang raised his eyebrows and looked at the tin man sitting next to him.

"How should I put it... this thing is actually an allusion, not a strange thing." Ye Jiu said, "This allusion can be traced back to the Confucian classic "The Analects", 'Confucius said: Do not look at anything inappropriate, do not look at anything inappropriate. Listen, don't say anything inappropriate'... And the image of the three apes is this The embodiment of three sentences. In addition to Xiazhou, the image of the three apes has appeared many times in the surrounding countries influenced by Confucian culture, including sculptures, murals, clay sculptures, etc. But as far as I know, it has not Among the artifacts discovered, there are no statues in the shape of three apes.”

"That's it..." Sun Hang breathed out slowly and frowned slightly.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil... As a Xiazhou native, Sun Hang certainly knows this allusion. But obviously, there is no direct connection between the three apes I saw and "ritual", something that is highly praised by Confucian culture. If I insist on applying this allusion, I have to replace the two words "indecent" in front of it. Remove.

Don’t look, don’t hear, don’t speak.

Sun Hang suddenly realized that this so-called three-ape statue might not be an artifact, but rather one of the most mysterious types - "Type A, regular" artifacts.

Whether it was the Christmas crystal ball, the treacherous office building or the phantom with the ability to control time, they were all ruthlessly obliterated because they conflicted with the rules of the "Three Apes". This kind of unreasonable obliteration ability is obviously only possible with rules-based monsters.

But why were those monsters wiped out and not Sun Hang?

Could it be that according to the rules of the "Three Apes", oneself cannot be directly obliterated?

While Sun Hang was deep in thought, Ye Jiu suddenly touched him with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "Why do you suddenly ask about this thing? Have you ever encountered this strange thing?"

"Yes, I'm curious too." Song Yarong, who was sitting opposite, nodded repeatedly, "This should be a new strange object that has no witness records. Maybe after I go back, I can create a file specifically for it, and I can also apply for one. Temporary number, this temporary number and files can be kept for up to ten years. If the strange thing appears again within ten years and there are confirmed sighting records, then the number can be corrected..."

"As a compiler of archives, you can also get a lot of scientific research points, right?" Ye Jiu revealed Song Yarong's true thoughts without mercy.

"Hehe..." Song Yarong smiled awkwardly, "If you want to quickly improve your professional title, you can't miss every opportunity to earn points. I'm really looking forward to going to Tianshu Tower to see the world."

"Tianshu Tower... Tsk, your ambition is quite lofty." Ye Jiu smiled, and it was hard to tell whether the emotion in his eyes was more of praise or ridicule.

"What is Tianshu Tower?" Sun Hang suddenly asked such a question.

"Ah?" Ye Jiu's expression froze, "You...you don't even know about Tianshu Tower?"

"It's been less than a month since he joined the job as a monster hunter." Song Yarong explained for Sun Hang, "And before that, he suffered a brain injury and lost a lot of memory. Even his name was still Just carry the nameplate with you.”

"Amnesia?" Ye Jiu looked at Sun Hang again, and then said slowly, "Tianshu Tower is located in Chunming City. It is the highest-level weird object research institution in the Xiazhou Federation and the most authoritative weird object research expert in the entire federation. The location of the strongest monster hunter."

"What about the No. 1 Research Institute to which you belong?" Sun Hang asked, "I thought the No. 1 Research Institute was the best research institute for strange objects in Chunming City."

"Ahem... As far as the research field of artifacts and equipment is concerned, Research Institute No. 1 is indeed the best." Ye Jiu's face suddenly became confused, "After all... Well, there is a specialization in the art industry, and our No. 1 research institute is indeed the best." The research institute is specifically responsible for researching artifacts, equipment and qualified candidates, and other aspects are a bit more..."

"Research Institute No. 1 is a lower-level organization affiliated to Tianshu Tower." Song Yarong did not save face for Ye Jiu and directly exposed Ye Jiu's words, "There are ten research institutes from No. 0 to No. 9 under Tianshu Tower. , each institute has its own independent research direction, and in terms of level, they are the top in their respective fields.”

"To be precise, it cannot be regarded as a subordinate organization. It is a relationship of mutual cooperation." Ye Jiu's cheeks turned slightly red and he argued in a low voice, "Oh... there is nothing to discuss about this thing. You might as well talk about you and that person." What about the encounter between the three apes and monsters?”

"Yes, where did you find the statue of the three apes? Does it have any obvious characteristics?" As soon as his scientific research points were involved, Song Yarong immediately put aside his previous suspicion and united the front with Ye Jiu.

She had even opened a blank archive file on her tablet, ready to record it.

"I'm not sure if that thing is an independent weird thing." Sun Hang sighed, "I saw it in a weird office building. My intuition told me that it was dangerous, so I didn't get close to it, but just looked at it from a distance."

"The weird office building... Are you referring to the G-type weird thing you encountered when you were on the Black Mamba 24?" Song Yarong's eyes lit up, "That weird thing is also a new weird thing that does not exist in the archives. Although you have eliminated it, it is still worth recording - in addition, according to the witnesses of Ye Sha and Yang Lian, Report, the 'Bingliusansi' that lured you into the strange office building is most likely a fake. "

"I think so too." Sun Hang nodded. Since he couldn't get any valuable information from Song Yarong and Ye Jiu, he didn't plan to continue discussing the topic of the three apes with them. It would be best if he could change the topic. "Except for the appearance, the characteristics of that strange creature are very different from 'Bingliusansi'."

"It may be a symbiotic strange creature." Ye Jiu said, "In nature, there are many such creatures, and there are many strange creatures that have symbiotic relationships. "
