Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 131 Memetic Mutation
Just when Sun Hang was thinking about whether to violate the rules of the trial and kill the Overlord directly, a slender skeleton appeared behind the Overlord like a ghost, and ten dagger-like fingers pierced directly into the back of the Overlord's head!

The Overlord let out an inhuman roar, turned around and slapped the strange corpse away with a slap, but at the same time, the air wall that imprisoned Sun Hang disappeared into thin air at this moment.

Sun Hang seized this opportunity and retreated directly into the convenience store.

"What's going on? Is this guy getting angry and embarrassed after being humiliated?" Sun Hang looked at the puppeteer and asked.

The strange skeleton that just attacked the Overlord was obviously one of the puppeteer's strange weapons and equipment. However, what puzzled Sun Hang was that this strange skeleton was much stronger than the previous ones, but the puppeteer did not use it to deal with him. Instead, he extended a helping hand when he was in crisis.

Could it be that this girl is giving herself a break?
"He's not angry out of shame." The puppeteer shook his head, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, "His meme mutation has occurred."

"Memetic mutation? What does that mean?" Although Sun Hang has been catching up on his knowledge in this area since becoming a monster hunter, it is obvious that this is a new concept that he has not yet touched upon.

"The memes in the bodies of monster hunters are generally relatively stable, and the infection process will not show any obvious changes for several years or even more than ten years. But once a memetic mutation occurs, the infection process will exceed the danger threshold in a very short time, causing the infected person to become completely monsterized." A strange voice sounded not far away. Sun Hang turned his head and saw a handsome uncle in a brown trench coat and a top hat squeezing through the crowd and walking towards them.

Although his outfit is indeed very handsome, it is already early summer and this thick tweed windbreaker always gives people a feeling of being out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Especially since this person had an equally thick wool scarf hanging around his neck.

"you are?"

"A third-level hunter affiliated with the Tianshu Tower, 'Zhulong'." The handsome uncle nodded at Sun Hang, "I received a temporary notification and rushed here to reinforce."

As if afraid that Sun Hang might misunderstand him, Zhu Long added: "The upgrade trial has been suspended. I am here to deal with this guy."

After saying that, he pointed to the Overlord who was fighting with the strange corpse on the other side.

"So, this guy has become completely weird now?" Sun Hang asked.

"It's hard to say, but according to the information I received, his infection process has exceeded the dangerous threshold a minute ago." Zhulong said.

"It's not because of me, is it?"

"There are many causes of memetic mutations, and it's hard to pinpoint one," Zhulong said. "Don't feel guilty. It's possible that you're just the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"I don't feel guilty." Sun Hang rubbed his nose and blew away the blood clots that were blocking his nasal cavity. "There is one good thing about me. I never make myself feel bad."

"That's good." Zhulong nodded with a smile.

"He failed to completely transform... He became a skeleton." The puppeteer suddenly said, "I can feel his emotions. They are not anger, but fear."

"Fear?" Zhu Long was slightly startled. "Miss Zhong, please tell me more details."

"It seems that the meme in his body sensed a fatal threat and was forced to mutate in order to survive..." The puppeteer closed his eyes slightly and murmured, "I can read a very clear concept from it - 'predator'." "...Predator?" Zhulong thought for a moment and cast his gaze on Sun Hang.

"Well, it should have nothing to do with me, right?" Sun Hang said, "He almost strangled me to death, but I didn't even have the intention to kill him."

As soon as Sun Hang heard the word "predator", he knew that this matter was most likely related to him.

Although Overlord didn't know that his meme came from Taotie, it was no secret at all to Tianshu Tower.

"It's also possible that they were scared by you." Zhulong groaned, "Some weird creatures are naturally restrained by other weird creatures, just like hunters and prey in nature... and the same is true for those infected with their memes."

"It seems like I have to take the blame for this?" Sun Hang suddenly felt helpless.

"No, according to the rules of the Tianshu Tower, you don't need to bear any responsibility." Zhulong said, "He came to you privately, which is a violation of orders. Even if the responsibility for the memetic mutation is to be investigated, it should be borne by the researchers sitting in the control room."

"So how do we deal with this guy now?" Sun Hang looked at Overlord.

"Memetic mutation is irreversible. According to Miss Zhong, he has been transformed into a strange corpse. The next issue that Tianshu Tower needs to consider is how to minimize the losses..." Zhulong said, "I think, since Miss Zhong can sense him, he will probably be made into your strange equipment?"

"Is this possible?" Sun Hang muttered.

"Many of the corpses controlled by Miss Zhong were transformed from hunters." Zhulong said, "But this should be the first corpse transformed from a hunter of that level. Whether it can be successfully controlled is still an unknown."

"Let's not discuss this for now. That strange corpse is about to collapse." Sun Hang said, "After this guy broke through the danger threshold, he became much stronger."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Zhulong slowly raised his hand. The next second, the temperature around them dropped suddenly, and even Sun Hang shivered involuntarily - he suddenly understood why Zhulong wanted to wear such warm clothes in this season.

If possible, he would also like to get a big cotton jacket to wear now.

More than a dozen streams of water emitting a chilly aura gushed out from the cracks in the road. They crawled on the ground like some kind of snakes, quickly approaching the Overlord, which had turned into a skeleton.

The Overlord who was struggling with the puppeteer's skeleton also sensed the approaching danger. He quickly abandoned his original opponent and punched the snake-shaped water stream closest to him through the air.

"boom!!!"

The ground cracked, gravel splashed everywhere, and the serpentine water flow was instantly dispersed - but soon, it gathered together again and continued to swim towards the Overlord.

Although they look like snakes, these serpentine streams are essentially just a mass of liquid gathered together. No matter how powerful your fist is, it is impossible to completely "eliminate" it.

If Wang Xiyi was here, a breath of dragon breath might be able to evaporate the serpentine water flow, but the Overlord's attack method was completely defeated by the ability of Zhulong - in a blink of an eye, these serpentine water flows emitting a cold aura were entangled with him.
