Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 111 "Hero"

Sun Hang spread out his palms. In the center of his palms lay a round and smooth jade stone shaped like a lotus seed. If you look closely at it, you can see brilliant colorful light flowing inside the jade.

This is the real content of the transaction. As for letting Long Yanlei leave Shuzhou, that is just an additional condition.

The scientific name of this thing should be "relics". This thing usually only appears after the body of a high-ranking monk is cremated. For Buddhism, it can almost be regarded as the supreme sacred object.

However, Sun Hang felt an extremely strong and strange aura in this "relics".

If the strange things were classified into different grades according to "food level", this "relics" could definitely be ranked as "top grade". It is several levels higher than the Tai Sui thing.

"Why did Long Yanlei leave?" Wang Xiyi's voice suddenly rang out. Sun Hang looked up and found that she was hovering at the cabin door, moving in sync with the helicopter.

"I made a deal with it." Sun Hang replied, "Longyanlei is actually an undead spirit, or more precisely, a vengeful spirit."

"The last abbot of Longyan Temple?" Yang Qi nodded thoughtfully, "He didn't die of natural causes, did he?"

"Yes, he suffered from a rare disease called 'Tree Man Syndrome', but his disciples mistakenly believed that he was infected by a strange creature... Li Yuan killed him personally, destroyed the body, and sold and embezzled the last property in the temple... This property was his start-up capital back then."

"Li Yuan? Is that the old man they hurriedly captured for you?" Wang Xiyi asked, "How did you deal with this person?"

"Leave it to that undead." Sun Hang shrugged. "This is the deal between it and me. I help it find the villains from the past, and it lets Tianfu City go and leaves Shuzhou. It's that simple."

"The main hall of Longyan Temple was burned down along with Li Yuan's body." Yang Qi said.

"Wouldn't that be a good thing for Li Yuan?" Wang Xiyi muttered, "He was going to die anyway, but now he's been given a quick death."

"No... the undead's methods are more than that." Yang Qi shook her head, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes, "According to my understanding, they have the ability to extract human consciousness from the body and preserve it in a special form... Although Li Yuan's body was destroyed along with the Longyan Temple, the torture that his consciousness will endure is probably just beginning."

"Hiss... I feel a chill down my spine just thinking about it..." A hunter sitting next to him took a deep breath, "I used to have a colleague who was said to have had her consciousness taken away by the undead. I wonder if she is free now."

"Is your colleague's code name 'Suzaku'?" Yang Qi suddenly asked.

"Do you know him?" Wang Xiyi looked at Yang Qi and asked.

"Well... her body is still kept in the medical cabin of Tianshu Tower. Her vital signs are normal, but she just can't wake up." Yang Qi said.

Sun Hang: "Just like a vegetable?"

"No, it's different." Yang Qi shook her head. "A vegetative person falls into a deep coma because his brain is damaged. But her brain is intact, and the brain waves detected by the instrument are completely normal..."

"Anyway, I absolutely don't want to face that kind of weird thing." The hunter said with a fearful look on his face, "Rather than endure that kind of torture, I would rather give myself a quick death first."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Yang Qi took the initiative to end the topic and turned to look at Sun Hang. "Just now, a message was sent from above. In order to commend your contribution in this operation, you will receive a generous reward and a three-month vacation. In other words, you don't have to participate in the mission of searching for the source of the breeding... Of course, according to my understanding, the higher-ups probably plan to transfer you to build the 'Weird Thing Research Institute'."

"Can I be a hands-off boss?" Sun Hang curled his lips and said, "I know nothing about this kind of thing."

"There should be someone in charge of each task. You just need to show up at some ceremonies... Honorary principal, to put it bluntly, is a 'mascot'." Yang Qi said, "According to my understanding of the upper echelons, in the next period of time, you may be regarded as the focus of the Federation's internal propaganda... After all, at this critical juncture of the arrival of the Eternal Night, they really need to create a few 'heroes' to build people's confidence." "Can you refuse this kind of propaganda?" Sun Hang frowned, "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being fat, and tall trees attract the wind..."

"I'm afraid not." Yang Qi sighed, "But this matter definitely has more advantages than disadvantages. The Federation will give you the treatment that a hero deserves, and they will unconditionally meet many of your requests. In comparison, the side effects brought by fame are almost negligible."

"Can they meet those requirements?" Sun Hang muttered, "Can we open a harem?"

"You...what are you thinking about?" Yang Qi's cheeks suddenly turned red. "Can't you think about something serious?"

"Hahaha, isn't this serious?" The hunter next to him laughed, "Men...food, sex, that's all part of their nature!"

After saying that, he gave Sun Hang a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I understand you!"

"If you really want to open it... the higher-ups probably won't do that..." Yang Qi muttered, "But we have to ensure the principle of voluntariness. Forcibly seizing women will still be severely punished by law!"

"Don't worry buddy, as long as you are made into a 'hero' by the Federation, beautiful women who want to pay you will line up all the way from Chenghua Avenue to Erxian Bridge... Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is enough to make people envious."

"If you're envious, you can try it next time." Wang Xiyi said happily, "For example, go alone..."

"Stop, stop!" the hunter said hurriedly, "I know my own strengths and weaknesses very well. I'd better leave that kind of thing to someone more capable. I'll just be a supporting role for the heroes."

Sun Hang suddenly thought that this guy was quite interesting, so he asked, "What's your name, brother?"

"Codenamed 'Three Barrels', it came from Jingchu." The hunter laughed, "Yes, it's the three barrels in mahjong."

"How about you talk to your superiors and take the limelight for me?" Sun Hang asked, "The benefits will go to me and the fame will go to you, how about that?"

"No, no." Santong waved his hands repeatedly, "Once this kind of thing is exposed, public opinion will explode. Let's just forget it."

……

Everyone was chatting casually, and soon the helicopter flew over Tianfu City. Looking down from above, most of Xicheng District had turned into ruins. Many firefighters in orange uniforms were busy shuttling among the ruins, searching for survivors trapped under the rubble.

In a cleared space next to the ruins, two rows of people were lying, one row was receiving emergency treatment from medical staff, and the other row was covered with white cloth.

"Has the death toll been counted?" Wang Xiyi had regained her human form. She supported herself with both hands on the upper edge of the cabin door, half of her body leaned out of the cabin, and asked while looking at the scene below.

"Not yet... But conservatively speaking, it may be in the five digits." Yang Qi sighed, "It happened too suddenly, and the people in the residential area had no time to evacuate."

"The Eternal Night has just begun..." Wang Xiyi sighed, "Sun Hang, do you think we can defend Shuzhou?"

"I don't know." Sun Hang looked at the dark sky in the distance indifferently, "Maybe it will be light tomorrow."

[PS After what happened yesterday, I'm still not fully recovered today and have a terrible headache, so I think there will only be one chapter. I'll see if things get better tomorrow and I'll probably resume updating twice a day.]
