Trickster Hunter

Chapter 94 Moving Mountain

After returning to Tianfu City, the research institute assigned Sun Hang an office that was second only to the director. According to the Disaster Countermeasures Committee, before the school for research on strange objects was built, this was Sun Hang's office. "Principal's Office".

But before Sun Hang's butt could warm up on the leather swivel chair, 0401 barged in with two large plastic bags.

"Yo? The injury healed so quickly?" Sun Hang glanced at the bandage wrapped around the other person's knee, "It took a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. If you just run out like this, those doctors and nurses will definitely be angry to death. "

"It's just a scratch." 0401 said with a smile, "Hey, don't call me 0401. I have a name, Yin Xiang."

"Speaker?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, "Your name is quite unique, isn't it?"

"Yin Xiang! Fu Yin's Yin, flying Xiang!" Yin Xiang explained, "Let's not talk about it anymore... I heard Yang Lian say that the reason why we can return to normal time and space is because you killed that weird thing. ?”

"That's right." Sun Hang said, "Actually, I just refinished the knife and picked up a human head with residual blood."

Sun Hang knew very well that it was not him who killed Juiying at all...but the three ape statues that were even more mysterious than Juiying.

"You saved all of us, and thanks to you, that investigation mission was rated as the highest-level mission. Not only did I pay off all my debts at once, but I also received an additional subsidy. !”

After saying that, Yin Xiang raised the plastic bag in his hand: "See, barbecue, fried skewers, Bobo chicken and beer... Do you know how difficult it is to get these good things now? Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. It’s getting cold, let’s go for a walk and enjoy it on the roof together!”

Yin Xiang took Sun Hang and took the elevator directly to the rooftop of the research institute. He spread the food he didn't know where he got from on the ground. The two sat on the floor and opened the can of beer with a "click". , snowflake-like foam surged up from the mouth of the jar.

The rooftop of the research institute is not too dark, and the residual light from four large searchlights is enough to illuminate the area. However, in comparison, the Tianfu City area in the distance looks much dimmer.

In order to save electricity, the electricity consumption quota in all residential areas has been restricted, all kinds of advertising lights have been turned off, and factories, office buildings, and shopping malls have all closed. At a glance, the metropolis that used to be severely light-polluted is now only dotted with lights. , most of the buildings are hidden in darkness.

"Congratulations on your return to freedom." Sun Hang raised his beer and touched it with Yin Xiang.

"Ha, 0398 will definitely regret it. If you miss such a good opportunity this time, you may not be able to catch it next time!" Yin Xiang took a sip of beer, closed his eyes and grinned, "Hiss... too much So cool!”

"You are indeed lucky enough to regain your freedom when the eternal night falls." Sun Hang said, "You can just take advantage of this opportunity to leave Shuzhou and go to a safer place."

"Leave? No, I have no intention of leaving." But who knew, Yin Xiang suddenly shook his head, "I have already applied to the Bureau of Investigation for regularization assessment. In this special period, all procedures are simplified. I only need to pass the written examination in two days. I will You can become a formal investigator! Hey, we are also organized people!"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Sun Hang looked at him with some confusion, "You should know what eternal night means, right?"

"Of course I know." Yin Xiang said.

"Then you should also know how risky it is to stay as an investigator now, right?" Sun Hang said, "If it doesn't work out, why don't you take the investigator exam elsewhere? With your experience as a temporary investigator, You should be admitted on a merit-based basis, right?”

"No... you misunderstood me." Yin Xiang took another sip of wine, "I am not doing it for the establishment, nor for the money... Ah, no, the money is still important... The main thing is that this experience has made me I figured something out."

"What's up?"

"I'm very afraid of death, but that doesn't mean I have to be a deserter." Yin Xiang raised his head and drank the remaining liquid in the jar. "I grew up in Tianfu City since I was a child. I am a As a native of Shuzhou, I thought I would study, work, get married, have children and live an ordinary life for decades in this place... I never thought that one day, this land would be occupied by those Things are eaten up.”

Sun Hang looked at him quietly without speaking.

"It's useless to run away. It used to be Yundian, but now it's Shuzhou. What about in the future? Fog City? Qinzhou? Jingchu? I'll run away for the rest of my life, and those weird things will chase me for the rest of my life?" Yin Xiang fiercely smashed the can in his hand. Squeeze it flat, and then throw it away into the distance with force, "Ge! Run away! Run away from the hell, I will fight them here to death!"

"You can't drink like this with a can of beer, right?" Sun Hang picked up the can and took a look. The alcohol content marked on the can is only 3%, which is also a very low level among all the beers. .

Could it be that this guy drank two bottles of white before coming to find me?

But he doesn't smell like alcohol either?

"Are you sure you weren't acting impulsively?" Sun Hang asked.

"I have been thinking for several days that I want to stay." Yin Xiang took a deep breath and then continued, "Sun Hang, I came to you this time. In addition to thanking you for saving my life, I have one more thing. I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Sun Hang murmured in his heart. Could it be that this kid wanted to arrange for him to be admitted to the Academy of Monster Research?

As the principal, it seems that it is really a trivial matter to arrange for a transfer student to come in.

"I want to become a monster hunter." Yin Xiang said seriously.

"Pfft -" the beer in Sun Hang's mouth spurted out, confusing Yin Xiang's face, "You...are you out of your mind?"

"No, I'm serious." Yin Xiang said, "I already know about Song Yarong. According to those researchers, the 'Tai Sui' meme you have has a high probability of allowing the infected person to retain their belongings after infecting humans. Human self-awareness. In other words, this meme can be used to 'mass-produce' infected people in a stable state."

"Who told you?"

"It doesn't matter who told me, I just know that I need power." Yin Xiang said, "To tell you the truth, my dream since I was a child is to become a monster hunter. I don't want to be chased by those monsters anymore. Nothing can be done..."

"Your childhood dream was not to be a monster hunter, but to be the protagonist in those popcorn movies." Sun Hang corrected, "The mortality rate of monster hunters is much higher than that of investigators... Even if you can really become a hunter, Most likely, it’s just a background plate that passes by in the camera, not the weak protagonist who can’t be beaten no matter how hard he fights.”

"I didn't say I wanted to be the protagonist... After you and the 'Night Fury' left that night, we encountered a lot of monsters. Those monsters couldn't even be killed by guns. They could even attack us with the shock wave of a grenade explosion. , tearing apart human bodies... Can you feel that feeling of despair? I just want to have power, even if I can't defeat those powerful monsters, at least don't let me have a chance to resist!"

"It is against the hunter's code for an infected person to actively infect humans." Sun Hang looked at him calmly, "I can't help."

"Then what happened to Song Yarong?"

"It was an emergency. If I didn't take action, she would die." Sun Hang said, "Only in that case can I be exempted from liability."

Yin Xiang was stunned for a while, then looked at the edge of the rooftop and asked, "Does that mean you will use this method to save me as long as I'm on the verge of death?"

"You can jump down from here. If you can still have half a breath left, I will save you." Sun Hang said calmly.

"Okay, this is what you said, don't go back on it!" Yin Xiang stood up, took a few deep breaths, then shouted "Ahhhhhhhh" and rushed to the edge of the rooftop——

But just when he was about to touch the iron railing, his steps stopped abruptly.

His knees weakened and he knelt directly on the ground, hitting the ground hard with his fist.

"Fuck, I...I'm still...not cruel enough..." Yin Xiang gasped, "Sun, Sun Hang...why don't you help me and kick me down!"

"That's murder, it's illegal."

"Holy shit, shit, shit!!!" Yin Xiang cursed several times in a row, then jumped up suddenly and crossed the guardrail in an instant.

He closed his eyes and his body began to fall, but at this moment, a trace of regret suddenly emerged in his heart.

regret? Is there any use in regretting now?

Just when Yin Xiang thought he was about to fall into a puddle of flesh, a huge force suddenly came from the ends of his limbs. He opened his eyes in surprise and found that his hands and feet were tightly entangled with white mycelium. , and then, these mycelium pulled him back to the top of the building.

Yin Xiang lay sprawled on the ground, gasping for air with his mouth wide open. After gasping for a long time, he finally said: "Why the hell... why did you pull me up?"

"Do you dare to dance again now?"

"Damn it...I finally mustered up the courage...fuck you..." Yin Xiang cursed out of breath.

"I just forgot to tell you. It's too high here. If you fall, you won't even have a chance to save yourself. Next time, let's jump from a shorter building." Sun Hang placed a can of beer on Yin Xiang's forehead. , "To celebrate that you have saved another life, have another drink?"

"Drink...drink the hell!" Yin Xiang struggled to get up, pulled the tab open, and raised his head to drink.

"The moment you jumped out, did you feel any regret?" Sun Hang looked at him and asked.

"It would be a lie to say that I don't regret it, but what's the use of regretting it after jumping?"

"Now I'll give you another chance. I promise I won't pull you away. Do you still want to jump?"

Yin Xiang looked at the edge of the rooftop with lingering fear, hesitated for several seconds, and then shook his head: "Forget it... let's talk about it next time."

"Actually, becoming a hunter is the same thing as jumping off a building. Once you take that step, you will never have the chance to regret it." Sun Hang said, "I can pull you back from mid-air, but I can't let you Transform from an infected person back to a normal human being.”

Yin Xiang: "..."

Just when Sun Hang was about to get some more fried skewers, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

This was a call from a military communication channel. As soon as Sun Hang connected, he heard a slightly panicked voice on the other end of the receiver: "The mountain... the mountain is moving! Sixteen kilometers west of Tianfu City! There is a mountain moving!!"
