Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 109 Resentment
Although the cause of strange things is still unclear to humans, there is one special kind of strange thing that is not included.

This kind of special weird creature has a concise and clear general name, called "undead".

As the name suggests, the undead are strange creatures transformed from dead people.

Their deaths are often accompanied by extremely strong emotions: fanatical obsession, twisted emotions, deep resentment... Not everyone with such emotions will become a ghost after death, but all ghosts transformed from the dead, without exception, carry such emotions.

"The dead" are different from ghosts in a narrow sense. They are not pure spirits, but memes that carry the emotions and some memory fragments of the deceased. They will possess (or infect) something - this something can be the body of the deceased, or other humans, animals, plants, objects or even some phenomena.

The logic of the actions of the undead is often highly purposeful.

For example, the "pregnant girl" who was buried alive by a scumbag, her logic of action was to seek revenge on the scumbag and all the people who were related to the scumbag by blood.

So if Longyanlei is possessed by the undead and becomes strange, then its purpose of moving towards Tianfu City may also be for revenge?
"I say, how about we make a deal?" Sun Hang said to the skeleton in the blazing fire.

……

……

Xiazhou Federation aerial tactical platform, Garuda.

"The southeast corner can no longer hold on! Requesting support!!"

"Hover engines No. 35 and No. 14 are damaged! We have lost 16% of our lift! The platform is tilted degrees... No! It's degrees now!"

"Someone is seriously injured on the west side! Where are the medical staff? Quick! Come and save them!"

Countless monsters were seen flying towards Garuda like moths to a flame. The largest number of them was a crow-like monster. This kind of monster had weak defense, but once hit, it would explode directly with a power no less than that of a standard defensive grenade.

But what gives hunters the most headaches is not the self-destruction ability of this crow monster, but that after the self-destruction, every feather that explodes will replicate a new crow monster within a dozen seconds. If these feathers are not burned in time, their number will increase by dozens or hundreds of times in a dozen seconds...

The command center has urgently dispatched a large number of flamethrowers to Garuda, but facing the swarms of crows, this firepower is really not enough.

But just when Garuda's defenses were about to collapse, these strange creatures suddenly retreated like the tide, leaving the confused hunters looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"Those weird creatures... retreated?"

"Medic! Medic!"

An exhausted hunter sat down on the deck covered in blood and explosions, gasping for breath. "Huh... I almost died... Huh... Is there any new progress from the infiltration team?"

"Infiltration team?" Another hunter said, "I am a hunter in the infiltration team. When Garuda was attacked, we were all transferred back."

"Ah?" The sitting hunter asked in astonishment, "Then...then what is going on?"

"But... as far as I know, after all the hunters in the infiltration team were called back, someone volunteered to climb up Longyan Fort." The hunter in the infiltration team hesitated, "That was a local hunter in Tianfu City. I heard that he was a newcomer who just joined the company not long ago... That shouldn't be possible, right?" "Then according to you? These monsters may still make a comeback?" The sitting hunter struggled to stand up, leaning on the deck with the weapon in his hand, trying to support his severely overdrawn body.

"Who knows... Anyway, don't let your guard down." The hunter from the infiltration team frowned and said, "The operation is not over yet."

"Wait... look over there at Longyan Fort!"

The hunter of the infiltration team raised his head and looked in the direction of Longyan Fort. Suddenly, a green flare rose from the top of the mountain and exploded in the sky.

……

Sun Hang stood in the courtyard of Longyan Temple, looking at the communication drone approaching, and the signal in the earphones gradually became clearer.

"Time is running out. I don't have time to explain so much to you for now." Sun Hang said into the headset, "Anyway, go find two people for me - these two people used to be monks in Longyan Temple. One of them is called Jueming, and the other is called Jueyuan. Bring these two people here immediately after you find them!"

Sun Hang turned around, glanced at the shadowy Buddha statues in the hall, and let out a long sigh.

Although "it" agreed to his transaction request, "it" did not leave much time for Sun Hang.

"Sun Hang, this is Yang Qi!" Two minutes later, Yang Qi's voice appeared in the communication channel, "The command center has searched the household registration files of the entire Shuzhou area, and only found the monk named Jueming. His secular name is Xu Zi, and he is a native of Tianfu City, but..."

"but what?"

"He died in the second year after returning to secular life. The cause of death was a car accident." Yang Qi said, "The death record and cremation record can be found, but it will probably take time to find the exact location where the ashes are buried..."

"What about the other one?" Sun Hang asked, "What about the one with the Buddhist name Jueyuan?"

Jueming is the monk who is in charge of guarding the gate. He can only be regarded as an optional "extra thing" in this transaction, while the eldest senior brother Jueyuan is the key.

"There is no such person." Yang Qi said, "Don't worry. The household registration file management was quite chaotic in that era, and it was common for files to be missing... But since these two people are monks from Longyan Temple, perhaps we can follow the clues and find the whereabouts of Jueyuan!"

She spoke very quickly. On the surface, she told Sun Hang not to be anxious, but in fact, she was more anxious than Sun Hang himself.

"Go ask the driver who killed Jueming who ordered him to do so."

"That case was a traffic accident... OK, I get it!"

This time Sun Hang waited for a full five minutes. He could feel that "it"'s patience was gradually wearing away.

"I found out! The driver said that the person who ordered him to do this was a wealthy businessman named Wang Gui, who gave him 100,000 yuan... I checked and found that this 'Wang Gui' was also a pseudonym. His real name is Wang Yan. He is not a wealthy businessman at all, but a local gangster who used to be a bodyguard for a man named Li Yuan and then disappeared."

"Bring this Li Yuan here." Sun Hang said, "By the way, remember to check if there is a mole on the back of his head."
