Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 121: Strange Corpse
"Captured the target's location!"

"Where?"

"Still at G57 Airport... No, that's not right. He is falling, very fast! He has passed through Taiweiyuan and entered Ziweiyuan!"

"Falling? Did he jump from the airport? Retrieve the nearby surveillance images immediately. Can you capture him?"

"All the surveillance cameras nearby...are out of order. Is this...also his ability?" the voice at the beginning whispered, "The positioning window is only ten seconds. We are about to lose his coordinates!"

"Give me the list of hunters on standby near G57 Airport..."

"Team Leader...there are no hunters on standby near G57 Airport. There are only two special forces teams and an elite team from the Investigation Bureau."

"Who is responsible for the personnel arrangement? How come there is not a single hunter?"

"Team leader... this is your decision. According to the original plan, the difficulty of this round of trials should be gradually increased... If everyone is eliminated right from the start..."

"Damn it, it's all this bunch of rubbish. They haven't even sent out the hunters, but they've already been eliminated and only one person is left." The voice called 'Team Leader' skillfully shifted the blame, "Who is the hunter closest to G57 Airport?"

"As for the hunter, the closest one is 'Zhulong'. He is on vacation at home, about nine kilometers away from G57 Airport. If we rush over..." another voice said, "Wait, 'Puppeteer' is even closer. She is in the mall right below the airport!"

"Send the 'Puppet Master' to intercept the target!"

"But the Puppet Master is not a Hunter... We don't have the authority to order her around."

"Let her assist in the name of the trial procedure," the team leader said, "and let Research Institute No. 1 know and ask them to lend us the person."

……

G57 floating port, the suspended area below.

Sun Hang did not slow down, but continued to fall at the speed of free fall. When he was about ten meters away from the ground, he shot out more than a dozen strands of hyphae, which entangled themselves with the surrounding metal frames.

"hiss……"

The huge inertia caused his expression to twist instantly, and the force almost tore his limbs apart - but in the next second, the wound healed immediately, and even the bruises oozing from the subcutaneous tissue were absorbed completely.

"Ouch... It hurts." Sun Hang twisted his waist unnaturally after falling to the ground, and secretly reminded himself that maybe he should find some time to do some targeted training... especially in the aspect of pain resistance.

Tai Sui has endowed him with extremely strong self-recovery ability, but when his limbs are injured, Sun Hang's nerves will still absorb all the pain... Even if the body can recover instantly from some injuries, his brain will still be in a state of making the master "faint from the pain"... Once this happens in a fierce battle, it will be very bad.

"Wait a minute... maybe, we can take advantage of this?"

Sun Hang looked around. This seemed to be a dark alley behind a large shopping mall. There was no one here except for a dozen large trash cans placed against the wall. He glanced at his palm and an idea popped into his head -

"If I can temporarily block my sense of pain..." A mycelium shot out suddenly and pierced his palm. Blood quickly overflowed from the wound, immediately dyeing the pale mycelium red.

The mycelium was retracted and the wound healed. Sun Hang moved his palm which had returned to normal and felt happy.

Sure enough, this ability to “make your wishes come true” can also work on myself.

Although Sun Hang was not sure whether the principle behind this was similar to "self-hypnosis", blocking the part of the brain used to perceive pain, or blocking the conduction of pain by the nerves, in short, the mental energy consumed was minimal and could be fully applied in actual combat.

"If even the sense of pain can be blocked, then can we also change our appearance?"

Sun Hang covered his face with his hands. After a few seconds, he clearly felt that his facial skin and muscles seemed to have undergone some extremely subtle changes... This was an awkward yet natural feeling that was hard to describe in words. It was as if his face had just turned into a piece of heated paraffin, and a flexible compression knife was gently scraping across his facial contours...

Sun Hang quickly walked to the glass wall of the shopping mall and looked at his own projection on the glass.

His face did not undergo any drastic changes. If you look at the facial features separately, the changes in each part are almost negligible, but when they are put together again, Sun Hang has completely become a different person.

"Is this the so-called qualitative change resulting from quantitative change?" Sun Hang touched his face and muttered softly.

The fuzz around his lips turned into short blue-gray stubble, and the slightly puffy bags under his eyes disappeared, replaced by faint crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which made him look nearly ten years older.

Even his height had increased by a few centimeters, and his body had become more sturdy. His full chest muscles supported the already tight top. When he exerted a little force with his arms, thick blue veins bulged out.

Now, he looks like a fitness coach in his early thirties... the type that many lonely young women in the indescribable comics love.

Sun Hang felt that even if he stood next to his wanted poster now, no one would connect the two together.

Just when Sun Hang was about to leave, a rustling sound suddenly came from the trash can.

Sun Hang hurriedly looked back and saw a disheveled, ragged man climbing out of a huge trash can using his hands and feet. When he was halfway up, the trash can suddenly lost balance and fell down, and the man fell heavily to the ground. Dozens of bags of garbage packed in black plastic bags were scattered all over the ground.

He struggled to get up, then staggered towards Sun Hang.

"Homeless? No, that's not right..."

This person exuded a strong stench, most of which was the peculiar smell of fermented garbage, but mixed with this smell was a faint stench of corpse.

When this "person" came within ten meters, Sun Hang smelled an extremely faint smell of something strange on "it" in addition to the stench of the corpse.

"It" is somewhere between a living person and a dead body. It is neither a monster in the strict sense, nor a "zombie" that is resurrected after being possessed by the dead.

It used to be an infected person, but now, its scientific name should be "Monster".

Why did the corpse appear in the trash can at the back door of the shopping mall?

Are the hunters in Chunming City just there to eat and do nothing?
