Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 123 Reading Memory
But the difficulty lies here too - since this girl is hiding in the crowd, how can Sun Hang find her out?
If they rushed over rashly, and the crowd panicked and got trampled, the federal high-ranking officials would most likely put the blame on Sun Hang, considering their shamelessness and love of passing the buck...

This was an open conspiracy, and the puppeteer knew very well that even if Sun Hang knew that she was hiding in the crowd, he would not dare to take action - using ordinary citizens as shields was shameless, but very useful.

A real monster would not care about the casualties of ordinary people. Unfortunately, Sun Hang is not a real monster, but an unlucky guy who plays the role of a "monster" in the trial.

And he is an unlucky guy who is bound by the moral framework and trial rules.

The three skeletons struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards Sun Hang again. At the alley on the left, the fully armed sheriff rushed in with shields raised.

No, those people are not sheriffs at all. There is the emblem of Tianshu Tower on their shields... This group of people are clearly elite operators belonging to the Tianshu Tower's Monster Suppression Department!
If you don’t leave now, you may never have a chance to leave again!
But if I don't get rid of that puppeteer, it might not be that easy to leave...

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Sun Hang's mind.

He recalled the time when he accidentally peeked into the neighborhood committee cadre's memory in the supermarket in Tianfu City... Perhaps, he could use this method to find the puppeteer hiding in the crowd?

only……

Sun Hang turned his head and glanced at the onlookers in the mall. Although many timid people had fled the scene because of the appearance of the corpse, there were still more than three digits of people left. They stood far away with expressions of surprise, fear or excitement on their faces. As for those guys who were taking short videos or live streaming with their mobile phones, they had no intention of leaving at all.

More than a hundred...nearly two hundred people...

If I read the memories of so many people at the same time, will my brain crash?
Sun Hang had never tried to expand his abilities to such a large extent, and he was not sure whether so much would cause him to overdraw instantly.

At this moment, he felt a warmth coming from his pocket. He reached out and touched it, and found that it was the "relics" traded to him by the undead. It was slightly hot, as if it had just been taken out of a microwave.

Sun Hang stretched out his hand and grasped the relic, and immediately felt an extremely pure mental power transmitted from the relic to his mind, making his consciousness suddenly become extremely clear.

"Is this thing called love a power bank?"

Sun Hang suddenly felt confident, and he immediately extended his consciousness to cover the onlookers who were watching the excitement in the mall.

Countless images flashed before Sun Hang's eyes like slides. He saw a newlywed couple holding a one-month-old baby, a happy family of three. But the next image was the wife secretly giving a red envelope to the doctor, asking the doctor to change the results of the paternity test. But she didn't see that her husband was standing outside the clinic, secretly watching everything inside through the crack in the door.

Another memory is of a pot-bellied boss yelling at his employees, who nodded and bowed with a slutty look on their faces. After the boss finished yelling and went to the toilet, the employee wandered around the boss's desk for several circles, and finally left with a confused look on his face... No one noticed that in his palm, he was holding a small packet of powerful rat poison wrapped in a tissue.

The next shot shows a group of children in school uniforms surrounding another child, constantly insulting and pushing him. When the teacher arrives, the bullies disperse, leaving only the bullied child standing there, accepting the so-called "teaching" from the teacher.

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs!"

"One slap can't make a difference!"

"Think carefully, why do they only bully you and not other students?"

Sun Hang saw the seeds of hatred taking root in people's hearts. Behind each person was a shadow, dark or shallow. That was the dark side of human emotions. Everyone had such a dark side to a greater or lesser extent. Many of them were buried deep in the memory, and even their owners might not be able to detect them... However, in Sun Hang's eyes, these dark sides were like strange creatures living in the human body, baring their fangs and claws at him. As Sun Hang scanned more and more memory fragments, he felt more and more overwhelmed... Even with the support of the relic, the suffocating feeling of overdraft gradually surged up.

Everything around came to a brief halt, whether it was the ghosts that pounced on them or the elite operators that rushed in from the alley, they all seemed to be frozen in time. The only things that were still moving were the shadows behind those people whose memories Sun Hang had read.

The price he paid was Sun Hang's frantic consumption of mental energy - if his "blue bar" could be visualized, he would be able to see that the "stock" inside was rapidly decreasing, and in the blink of an eye it had crossed the danger line.

"This one, isn't it... This one, isn't it either... This guy, tsk, another one who's been cuckolded, but this one's still in the dark... The next one..."

Finally, among a bunch of pictures of ordinary people, Sun Hang saw something different.

A thin little girl was lying on the outside of a large glass cover that was several times taller than her, staring eagerly at the inside - there were many beds and medical equipment in the glass cover, and a woman with severe body ulcers was lying on the bed. Her limbs had been deformed like a monster, and the flesh on her cheeks had completely fallen off, revealing the white facial bones underneath... In fact, Sun Hang could not tell that the person lying on the bed was a woman, but the little girl's memory told Sun Hang that the person inside was her mother.

Sun Hang was no stranger to this big glass cover, as it was found in the Weird Things Research Institute in Tianfu City and was usually used to isolate dangerous infected people. It looked very thin, as if it would break if hit, but in fact, the physical strength of this thing could even withstand close-range direct fire from an anti-material sniper rifle.

Around the glass cover, there was a group of people in white coats standing or sitting. They operated the robotic arms inside the cover, constantly cutting off the tumor-like growths on the woman's body... However, the growths grew very quickly. When the scalpel cut off one, several more would immediately appear on the woman's body. In just a few seconds, the growths on the woman's body not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

The communication between the white coats began to become more frequent, and their tone was very anxious...but Sun Hang could only hear their tone but not the content of their communication.

This is the memory of the little girl. Since she cannot remember the content, Sun Hang naturally has no way of knowing it.

All conversations blurred into meaningless murmurs, except for the beeping sounds of the medical devices inside the hood, which were particularly clear.

"Director, we tried our best." The memory clip played until the ninth second, and the first sentence that Sun Hang could understand appeared, "With our current capabilities, we can't save her at all, so... let's just... render her harmless."

The little girl's body seemed to tremble, and she raised one hand. Then, the woman who was lying motionless on the hospital bed also raised her hand.

"what happened?"

"Master... Director, look at your daughter... she..."

"Quick! Bring the testing equipment over here!"

The memory scene began to become confusing and then abruptly interrupted, but Sun Hang's sight was already locked on a young girl in the crowd.

"caught you."

[PS I'm a bit stuck, so I spent quite a bit of time revising the outline of the next chapters. This should be the only chapter today, and I'll update it early tomorrow afternoon.]
