Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 192 Pets
"Anna?"

The mural was not very detailed, and Sun Hang could only recognize that the person tied to the operating table was a girl. It was difficult to tell whether it was the white-haired girl in the glass jar or someone else.

This mural seems to record what happened in a research institute (or hospital). This bed equipped with restraints is designed to prevent patients who have lost consciousness or are in mental confusion from moving around. But Sun Hang always feels that compared to the girl lying quietly, the group of people in white coats dancing around the operating bed seem to deserve this treatment more.

Their mental state cannot be said to be peaceful and stable, at least it can be said to be extremely insane... Although the men in white coats in the mural are wearing masks on their faces, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, the painter of the mural was thoughtful enough to paint their eyeballs vermilion.

Normal human irises come in many colors, but vermilion is not one of them.

Unless these white coats are all patients with acute conjunctivitis...

"Dancing...are they celebrating something? Or is it some kind of sacrificial ceremony?" Sun Hang muttered to himself. He couldn't help but think of the natives on the island of Platangbak. When they held ceremonies, they would dance around the bonfire, and the meat and fish on the bonfire were their offerings to the "Flower of Joy".

Could it be that this girl tied to the operating table is the sacrifice that these people in white coats want to offer to some existence?

It seems that the custom of using young virgins as living sacrifices exists in many places, and folk stories with similar plots are also common.

Sun Hang continued to walk forward, but next to the mural, there was a series of blank spaces - it was unknown whether they were not painted in time or were erased by some strange force.

Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years - Sun Hang subconsciously thought of the three monkey statues. This guy has stopped him from finding out the truth more than once or twice... He is a real "repeat offender".

Sun Hang had noticed long ago that the murals on the dome were arranged in chronological order. If the last mural described what happened on the island, then the next one would most likely be the truth about the accident that happened more than a hundred years ago.

Sun Hang was not surprised at all that the three apes would erase these contents.

The vibration from above finally stopped. At this time, the underground structure of the Nameless Island Research Institute should have completely collapsed, and the hunters who remained in the laboratory were probably in great danger... But even if Sun Hang rescued them, given their condition, they would die one after another in various "accidents" just like the survivors who escaped back to the mainland that year.

I just don't know what the situation is like at the underground dock... The bottom of the dock is directly connected to the open sea. Even if the top collapses completely, the submarine can still leave the nameless island smoothly - of course, the premise is that the fisherman and Yano can successfully start the nuclear submarine that has been anchored for more than a hundred years.

Perhaps because of its bowl-shaped design, this "temple" was not affected, with only a few inconspicuous cracks appearing on the dome.

Sun Hang looked through all the murals again. He was in no hurry to leave now. After all, everything that needed to be blown up had already been blown up. The culprit of the curse on the island had already turned into a dried corpse. Even the Yamata no Orochi that was entrenched not far from the coast...

and many more? !
Sun Hang suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura approaching rapidly from the bottom of the pool... Then, the entire "temple" began to tremble again, the water surface continued to surge, a large number of bubbles surged up, and it looked like it was boiling.

With a "whoosh", a huge snake head broke through the water, followed by the second, the third...

If the space inside the "temple" and the size of the pool could only accommodate three snake heads, Sun Hang even suspected that the Yamata no Orochi would squeeze all eight heads into this small building - using the Yamata no Orochi as a reference, this place is indeed quite "small".

An indescribable chilly aura spread throughout the "Holy Temple". Three pairs of dark golden pupils stared at Sun Hang.

One of the snake heads had its lips slightly split, and spat out half of its bloody tongue.

If Sun Hang's size is compared with that of the Yamata no Orochi, then he is at most equivalent to a raisin... Imagine if a raisin accidentally fell into the sewer ditch, would a normal person stick his head into the sewer ditch to look for the raisin?

What the big snake is doing now is similar to the person who stuck his head in the drain.

"Hello." Sun Hang waved to the Yamata no Orochi, "I don't know what to say now, so why not wish you a happy new year."

The terrifying feeling of oppression disappeared instantly. One of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi slowly drooped down, moved close to Sun Hang, and rubbed Sun Hang's calf very docilely.

"Stop!" Sun Hang staggered and quickly steadied himself - although the Yamata no Orochi's movements could be said to be very gentle, the size difference between the two was too big after all. Sun Hang felt like he was hit by a high-speed train... If the mycelium had not shot out and fixed on the wall in time, he would have been sent flying.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yamata-no-Orochi, like a kitten or puppy that had done something wrong, put its three huge heads on the shore and looked at Sun Hang cautiously... For some reason, Sun Hang actually saw a hint of grievance in its eyes.

"Are you possessed by the soul of a pet dog?" Sun Hang pinched his chin in confusion. "Are you really the infamous Yamata no Orochi?"

The Yamata-no-Orochi didn't speak... Well, it's also possible that it doesn't speak human language at all.

Sun Hang took a deep breath, reached out his hand and touched the snake head that was taller than him.

The smallest scales on the snake's head were larger than Sun Hang's palm. These scales felt like steel sheets pressed out by a forging press. They were cold and smooth, with a hint of metallic luster. The edges of the scales were as sharp as blades, and could vaguely reflect Sun Hang's shadow.

When Sun Hang stroked the head of the Yamata no Orochi, the snake actually closed its eyes, looking extremely enjoyable.

Sun Hang felt that he was not touching the head of a giant snake, but rather stroking the fur of the big dog he kept at home.

"You don't want to be my pet, do you?" Sun Hang knocked on the scales of the Yamata no Orochi with his knuckles as if knocking on a door. The snake opened its eyes and looked at him, then stuck out its tongue and licked the nearby wall.

Suddenly, the granite wall made a "hissing" sound, and the smooth wall surface was instantly corroded and pitted. Sun Hang didn't know how he could see the joy in the dark golden vertical pupil... But his intuition clearly told him that the snake's current mood was no different from that of a puppy who saw its owner wagging its tail vigorously.

"Fortunately this guy didn't really lick me with his tongue like a dog..." Sun Hang thought to himself.

"Hiss..." A low hissing sound came from the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi, but unfortunately, Sun Hang knew nothing about snake language.

"I'm not Harry Potter, I don't understand what you are talking about." Sun Hang spread his hands helplessly, but the Yamata no Orochi continued to hiss.

For some reason, he felt that this big snake seemed a little unintelligent.

"How about this, you first find a way to get me outside, then find a place to hide, and don't appear in front of other humans. Can you do it?" Sun Hang said.

Keeping the Yamata-no-Orochi as a pet may seem like an impressive thing, but the trouble it actually brings is unimaginable. Just how to explain it to the Tianshu Pagoda is enough to give Sun Hang a headache.

He couldn't say that just by shaking his tiger body and letting out his turtle spirit, the little snake would obediently surrender and voluntarily become his pet, right?

Although the reality seems to be true, will the people in Tianshu Tower really believe this?
Not to mention them, even Sun Hang himself didn't believe it.

The best way to deal with it is to release this guy into the sea. Not only does it save a huge amount of feed costs, it can also be used as an unknown trump card... Of course, the most important thing is that it can save Sun Hang a lot of unnecessary trouble.

He did not want the Tianshu Tower to link him to the things that happened on the nameless island... The fisherman's brain structure was relatively simple, and he probably would not think too much about the things that happened on the island; as for Yano, Sun Hang could not guarantee that he would not say too much, but at least he had not seen with his own eyes what the white-haired girl Anna looked like "before she died", nor had he "heard" the strange conversation between Sun Hang and the white-haired girl.

Most of his suspicions about Sun Hang came from his own speculations. Since they were speculations, they were completely groundless and untenable...

But if he really brought Yamata no Orochi back to the Federation, even if the fisherman and Yano didn't say a word, there would be endless inquiries and inspections waiting for him... Sun Hang thought he still had patience, but he couldn't guarantee whether Yamata no Orochi had this patience.

What if the Yamata-no-Orochi goes berserk and kills many people... should the responsibility be placed on the pet or on the pet's owner?
The Yamata-no-Orochi sank half of its head into the water, and then moved towards Sun Hang, as if signaling Sun Hang to climb onto its head.

Sun Hang did not hesitate and climbed up using his hands and feet. The next second, an unknown secretion gushed out from the gaps between the scales of the Yamata no Orochi, forming a hollow air bag that wrapped Sun Hang inside.

The Yamata-no-Orochi led Sun Hang into the water. After passing through a dark and narrow waterway, the surroundings suddenly opened up. Sun Hang quickly realized that he had left the nameless island and entered the nearby waters.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, one can vaguely see the huge body of the Yamata no Orochi hidden in the sea water - it not only has eight heads, but also eight tails, just like eight snakes' bodies entangled together... Sun Hang couldn't help but feel curious, do the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi share a common consciousness, or do they each have different ideas?
"Forget it... Let's leave this kind of question to the weirdo scientists."

As the brightness gradually increased, Sun Hang knew that he was rapidly approaching the water surface... A few minutes later, he finally saw the sun again, as well as an unnamed island several miles away that was emitting thick smoke.

"Okay, let's stop here." Sun Hang patted the snake head he was sitting on, "You should run away quickly. If you are found by others, you will be in big trouble... I don't mean your trouble, I mean my trouble. Do you understand what I mean?"

The other snake head glanced at Sun Hang across the shallow sea surface. The next second, the air sac ruptured, and the Yamata no Orochi sank silently, leaving Sun Hang alone on the sea.

Normally, when such a huge creature sank to the bottom of the sea, it would easily form a whirlpool and suck Sun Hang down with it. However, the Yamata no Orochi seemed to have merged into the sea water. The entire diving process did not bring up the slightest undercurrent, and the sea surface was so calm that not even a ripple could be seen.

This situation doesn't seem surprising when you consider that the Yamata no Orochi has the ability to manipulate water flow - it can fill the area with deadly undercurrents, and it can also make turbulent waters calm and peaceful.

Sun Hang looked around while floating on the sea. He could neither see the coast nor the warship that brought them to the island. The nearest land to him was the nameless island a few miles away...It was somewhat unrealistic to swim directly back to the Xiazhou mainland. After thinking about it, Sun Hang decided to return to the nameless island first, and then stay on the beach waiting for rescue.

After all, the biggest threat before has now become his pet... For him, the beach of Nameless Island is probably the safest place on the entire island.

I just wonder what the officers and soldiers on the ships felt when they arrived at the scene and found out they had escaped with nothing?
Is it relief or anger, or a feeling of "drawing the sword and looking around with a confused heart"?

Sun Hang didn't know, but no matter what, the federal high-level officials and Tianshu Tower must have breathed a sigh of relief - in fact, they should hope more than anyone else that the information about Yamata no Orochi was a "false alarm". After all, this place was too close to Chunming City.

Sun Hang stretched his arms, and just as he was thinking about whether he should use the doggy paddle or some other posture to swim towards the nameless island, the Yamata no Orochi once again emerged from the water.

A huge snake head approached Sun Hang and opened its mouth.

A relatively intact landing craft was spit out from the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi and turned upside down on the sea.

With a slight push from the Yamata no Orochi's head, the landing craft was turned over.

"So considerate?"

Sun Hang climbed directly onto the landing craft, and the Yamata no Orochi gently rubbed the bottom of the landing craft, as if saying goodbye to Sun Hang...

After a few seconds, it finally disappeared completely from Sun Hang's sight.
