Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 19 Emergency

……

When Sun Hang woke up from his coma, the chilling tingling sensation had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"Is it... a nightmare?" Sun Hang sat up from the sofa and looked down.

The metal nameplate in his palm, which had been warmed up, exuded a soft golden luster. He tried to pinch it lightly with his fingernails, and a scratch immediately appeared on the surface of the metal nameplate.

Stainless steel is not that soft, nor that heavy... This metal nameplate seems to have really turned from stainless steel to gold.

"This...this is impossible?" Sun Hang's breathing became a little heavy.

Obviously, this miracle of "turning steel into gold" is his ability...but it is even more obvious that this ability has nothing to do with Taotie.

It couldn't be that the Taotie clone first devoured a monster with this ability and then infected itself, right?
Apart from the fact that it has some serious side effects, this ability can almost be described as a bug. A strange creature with this ability...can Taotie really devour it?
Sun Hang recalled what the man in the white coat said during the induction training at the Investigation Bureau... If this kind of unknown strange creature had to be classified, it would probably have to be classified as a "Class A, Regular-type strange creature."

Type A monsters are completely superior to all other types of monsters... because it is the "rule" itself.

"Wait...it seems that the change in the color of the lights in the hospital was not a coincidence?" Sun Hang was suddenly shocked. Could it be that his ability was not "turning steel into gold" but "making wishes come true"?
He decided to do an experiment.

He stared at the half-eaten apple on the coffee table, the flesh of which had turned yellow and oxidized at the edges. He tried hard to recall the tingling feeling that came over him, and silently said in his heart: "Float... Float for me."

The apple didn't move at all, and the tingling sensation did not occur.

Only the sweeping robot slid silently under the coffee table, making a slight mechanical sound as it avoided Sun Hang's feet, as if mocking his fantasy.

"It seems a little different from what I thought..."

Sun Hang glanced at the oxidized part of the apple, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked up at the clock hanging on the opposite wall.

It is now five minutes to seven in the evening, which means he has been unconscious for almost two hours.

Sun Hang immediately raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves.

The bracelet on my wrist was functioning normally. There was no shrill alarm and the red warning light inside did not light up.

"Strange... the bracelet didn't detect any abnormality?"

On the way here, Yang Qi briefly introduced the functions of the bracelet to Sun Hang - when his heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and other indicators show serious abnormalities, the bracelet will sound an alarm and transmit the abnormal data to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau and the Weird Things Research Institute as soon as possible.

If the bracelet had detected that Sun Hang had been unconscious on the sofa for two hours, people from the Investigation Bureau and the Research Institute would have broken in long ago...but now nothing has happened.

"Can this ability fool the bracelet?" Sun Hang muttered to himself, "Or does the bracelet think that I just 'slept' on the sofa for two hours?"

Sun Hang went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, then returned to the living room and turned on the TV.

The evening news was playing on TV. When the camera panned around, a row of sheriffs were seen standing upright in front of four white tombstones. A middle-aged woman in a black dress was standing a little further away with a worried look on her face.

The caption below reads, "The four sheriffs who unfortunately died in the Tianfu City Bloody Mary incident have been buried in the South City Cemetery today. Representatives of the Xiazhou Federal Parliament, representatives of the Tianfu City Management Committee, and leaders of the Tianfu City Public Security Bureau and the Abnormal Investigation Bureau laid wreaths in front of the tomb."

"A cenotaph?" Sun Hang remembered it very clearly. After Wang Xiyi blew that big fireball, all the plasma in the blood pool was evaporated. The bodies of Captain Huang, the trainee sheriff, and the sheriff who was dragged into the blood pool later might not even have any residue left... Only the sheriff who died in the blood mist outside had a relatively intact body.

Sun Hang took another look at the woman in the black dress... Judging from her age, she should be Captain Huang's widow...

Wait a moment? !
Sun Hang rubbed his eyes hard, because he found that the woman on the screen suddenly became extremely old... The originally straight figure became hunched, and the skin covered with age spots also drooped along the sides of the cheeks. The cloudy eyeballs were deeply sunken, and many wrinkles that did not exist originally appeared on the woman's face.

Not only her, but the sheriffs in the picture also showed signs of "aging"... They were in their prime, but in the blink of an eye they became octogenarians, and their hair under their wide-brimmed hats had all turned pale.

And the next second, everything returned to normal. Even when Sun Hang was staring at the screen, the phone on the dining table suddenly rang.

The call was from Yang Qi.

"Sun Hang, emergency!" Yang Qi's tone became extremely anxious. "An extremely rare abnormal situation has occurred at the South City Cemetery! In less than three hours, the entire cemetery has returned to its undeveloped state decades ago! The worst thing is that when the abnormality occurred, the funeral and flower laying ceremony of the sheriff who died in the Bloody Mary incident were being held in the cemetery... All the people participating in the funeral, including those senior leaders, are missing!!"

"South City Cemetery? Flower laying ceremony? Missing?" Sun Hang turned his head and looked at the TV screen again, "But, I can see them..."

"What did you say?!"

"I said, I can see them, those missing people." Sun Hang replied.

"What?! Where did you see it? How did you see it?!" Yang Qi's tone on the phone was quite excited.

"On TV, the 7 o'clock evening news." Sun Hang answered truthfully.

"This is impossible!! The evening news has cancelled the funeral broadcast due to an unusual situation! This is absolutely impossible!!"

"Then I'll take a picture for you to see."

After Sun Hang finished speaking, he pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the TV screen... However, through the camera, the TV picture in the camera was just a sea of ​​white snowy noise.

Sun Hang suddenly realized that there was no sound from beginning to end of this news program - at first, he thought he didn't turn on the speaker.

"Something's not right. I can't take the picture on TV... or to put it another way, this picture can only be seen with my eyes. You should also know that there is no need for me to lie to you about this kind of thing."

"I'll come to your house right away!" Yang Qi said firmly.

……

Not long after, the sound of the armored SUV's engine came from the entrance of the villa.

As soon as Sun Hang opened the door, Yang Qi rushed in and immediately turned her eyes to the TV in the living room.

The news program has ended, and now some irrelevant content is playing on the screen, and the sound has returned to normal.

"What did you just see on TV?" Yang Qi took a breath and asked Sun Hang.

Sun Hang did not hide anything and described it truthfully.

After listening to Sun Hang's description, Yang Qi couldn't help but frowned: "If the abnormality in the South City Cemetery is caused by a strange creature, then this strange creature... is very tricky. According to my personal judgment, the ability of this strange creature is most likely related to 'manipulating time'."

"Manipulating time?"

"At first I thought it was a 'Class G', 'environmental' monster... but now it seems that it is at least a 'Class B, phenomenon-type' monster, or even a 'Class A, rule-type' monster." There was a slight tremor in Yang Qi's voice.

It's both fear and excitement.

"Then why can I see those scenes that have not been broadcast... or even those that have not been filmed?"

"Because you are infected with the Weird Virus, sometimes there will be a strange resonance between the infected and the weird... But we have not yet figured out the cause and form of the resonance." Yang Qi sighed and said, "I'm afraid you will have to carry out this mission?"

"Why me?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. "Isn't Wang Xiyi the ace hunter of Tianfu City?"

"She is in a very bad condition now, and she can't enter the beast state again in a short time. What's more, Class A and Class B monsters cannot be eliminated simply by relying on strength." Yang Qi paused and continued, "The most important point is that she did not resonate with the monster that caused the abnormal situation in the South City Cemetery, but you do."
