Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 235 Red Cube Crystal
"Time, production, transformation..." Sun Hang muttered to himself, "I think I know what the problem is."

"What do you mean?" Zhulong asked hurriedly.

"This thing may not be able to transform the finished product into a strange thing, but if it can influence the production process..."

Sun Hang immediately put his idea into action - a ball of faint blue flame ignited in his hand, and the stainless steel fork quickly turned into a ball of molten steel suspended in his palm.

Sun Hang began to imagine another shape in his mind, and at the same time, the dark red square crystal floated up under the pull of an invisible force.

Seeing Fang Jing's reaction, Zhulong and Wang Xiyi who were standing far away couldn't help but hold their breath.

The red square crystal spun several times in the air, and then aimed one corner at the steel fork that was being reshaped... Faintly, Sun Hang seemed to see a faint red light band connecting the two together.

Sun Hang could feel that the meme inside the cubic crystal was not transmitted into the molten steel through the light band, but a completely new meme with a completely different frequency from the cubic crystal itself appeared out of thin air inside the molten steel.

In just a few seconds, the molten steel had turned into a crudely made spoon, and the red square crystal fell back into Sun Hang's palm.

"This spoon... has turned into a weird thing?" Wang Xiyi couldn't help but ask.

Among the three, her ability to sense the aura of strange creatures was the weakest. Coupled with the change that had just occurred, she had to keep a safe distance from the red crystal... so that she could not feel any changes on the fork - no, now it should be said that any changes occurred on the spoon.

"It seems that I can sense a faint aura of strange creatures." Zhulong nodded, "But it is really very weak... It is so weak that it will be ignored if you are not careful."

Sun Hang caught the spoon that fell from mid-air. The moment his fingers touched the spoon, the relevant information immediately appeared in his mind.

"Although this thing is weak, it will still cause considerable harm if it spreads to the public." Sun Hang said, throwing the spoon in his hand to Zhulong.

"Oh? What are its characteristics?" Zhulong took the spoon and looked at it with interest.

"If you use this thing to eat, every bite will make you feel more hungry...Continuous use will gradually make you lose your normal understanding of food intake, and hunger will completely control your thinking." Sun Hang said, "If no one stops you, you will continue to eat, even if your stomach is ruptured."

"What if there's not enough food?" Wang Xiyi asked, "Will he even eat the spoon?"

"Then I don't know. Maybe we can refer to the conditions of drug addicts when they have an attack." Sun Hang spread his hands.

"For hunters, it is just an ordinary artifact." Zhulong said, "But for ordinary people, it is definitely a dangerous item... After all, no one would attribute the cause of 'acute bulimia' to the tableware in the patient's hand..."

But hunters like Zhulong can use it as an ordinary spoon.

Although the academic community rarely gives clear levels of intensity to weird things, in the world of weird things, memes are indeed divided into different levels. High-level, high-intensity memes can easily suppress low-level, low-intensity memes.

If Zhulong's meme is "Kshatriya", then the meme of this spoon is a genuine "Dalit"... belonging to the bottom of the pyramid of hierarchy.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with this thing?" Zhulong asked, "As the holder of the Taotie meme, you should want to devour it, right?"

"If you swallow it... it's a bit like a card drawing game." Sun Hang said, "If you're lucky, you can get the full power of this crystal. If you're unlucky, you can only get the 'youth version'... If your luck is even worse, you'll end up in failure."

"So, you plan to keep it?"

"If this thing can mass-produce strange things, then for me, isn't it an unlimited food supply device?" Sun Hang weighed the Fang Jing in his hand, "Keep it for now. When the time comes, maybe it can be used as an emergency reserve food, don't you think?"

In the past, Sun Hang would definitely choose to swallow it... because even if he didn't swallow it, this thing would most likely be taken away by the people in Tianshu Tower, and the rewards and compensation they could give would definitely not be as much as the value of the square crystal itself.

But now, Sun Hang can choose at will from the collections of Tianshu Tower. If he wants to keep something, it is just a matter of a word.

Sun Hang stood up and walked down from the throne, but after a few steps, he realized that the aura of the square crystal in his hand was rapidly weakening, and the red light flashing inside was dimming and almost extinguished...

"what?"

Sun Hang was stunned and took a step back tentatively. Fang Jing's breath immediately recovered.

"Could it be..." Sun Hang turned around and looked at the bone throne behind him.

Is this bone throne also a strange object? Or...is it that the bone throne and the square crystal together are considered a complete strange object?

"A symbiotic creature?"

Sun Hang placed the square crystal on the bone throne, and the red light inside the square crystal immediately returned to the brightness it had when Sun Hang had just taken it.

At this moment, the sound of engines and tires rubbing against the ground came from the tunnel. Two armored off-road vehicles with the Tianfu City Weird Research Institute logo printed on their doors drove into the underground hall, and more than a dozen fully armed field operators jumped out of the vehicles in an instant.

The support that Yang Qi applied for from the institute finally arrived ten minutes after the "BOSS" of the underground palace was killed.

But from another perspective, they were not late, after all, they were not tasked with fighting monsters.

The crossbow arrows nailed to the ground were pulled out, and the seriously injured infected person was carried onto one of the vehicles on a stretcher. A familiar figure wearing heavy armor and holding a wolf-fang spear came out of the cargo hold of another vehicle and walked towards the Bone Throne in a swagger.

"Hey, Sun Hang, why didn't you tell me you were back? That's really unkind of you!" Ye Jiu complained as he walked into the army formation. "Wow, these terracotta warriors are interesting. Are they all weird creatures? Can they move? Do you think that I, standing among these terracotta warriors, look like a general charging into battle in ancient times?"

He put the wolf-tooth spear on his shoulder, stepped on the shoulder of a kneeling terracotta warrior beside him, and looked at Sun Hang: "How is it? Isn't it handsome?"

"General? I think you are just a fireman at best." Sun Hang made an international friendly gesture to him with disdain.

"It's boring." Ye Jiu shook his head, and the edge of his helmet and his shoulder armor rubbed against each other, making a clanging sound. He held his wolf-tooth spear horizontally and rushed towards Sun Hang at high speed. "I haven't seen you for so many days. Let me see if you have improved in any way!" Ye Jiu suddenly shouted.

"Well...don't you take care of your brother?" Yang Qi tugged at Ye Xuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Why bother with him?" Ye Xuan didn't even bother looking at Ye Jiu. "He's just like that. He won't learn his lesson unless he suffers a little."

Sun Hang glanced at the "murderous" Ye Jiu, smiled and took two steps back without saying a word, then hid behind the back of the Bone Throne.

After running up for a few steps, Ye Jiu suddenly leaped up and swept his wolf-fang spear directly towards Sun Hang, obviously intending to smash the Bone Throne and Sun Hang himself together. But just when he approached within five meters of the Bone Throne, his body seemed to be out of control. He suddenly somersaulted in the air and fell straight down.

"boom!"

Ye Jiu fell heavily to the ground, and dust flew everywhere.

"Hey, isn't this General Ye? Why do you give me such a great gift? I can't accept it~~" Sun Hang immediately started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"There's something weird! There's something weird about this place!" Ye Jiu struggled to get up, but the "killing power" in his body seemed to have lost control and bound his body tightly, turning him into a salted fish that could only crawl on the ground and couldn't even turn over.

"You just reacted?" Sun Hang jumped off the throne, grabbed Ye Jiu by the scruff of the neck, and dragged him out of Fang Jing's influence in an unsightly posture.

Ye Jiu, who had regained his freedom, jumped up suddenly. He took off his mask, first glanced at Sun Hang, and then cast his gaze on the red square crystal on the bone throne.

"That thing must be causing trouble!" Ye Jiu said angrily, "What is this?"

"You ask me, but I don't know either." Sun Hang spread his hands and said.

Several field operators came over and set up a cordon along the perimeter of the military formation. At the same time, they set up a large number of laser alarms on the ground and walls. Suddenly, dense red lasers surrounded the military formation and the bone throne behind it like a bird's nest - as long as anything touched one of these laser beams, a shrill alarm would immediately sound.

"Speaking of which, these Terracotta Warriors and Horses shouldn't run away, right?" Ye Jiu pointed at the terracotta warriors kneeling on the ground, "These things... should all be strange creatures, right?"

"Hmm..." Sun Hang nodded.

Obviously, these terracotta warriors are the "guards" created by the guy on the bone throne using red cube crystals. It's a pity that even the red cube crystal itself can be suppressed by Sun Hang, not to mention this kind of weird creature with a lower meme level.

"Do we need some additional safety measures? For example, lock them all up with chains?" Ye Jiu asked.

"It shouldn't be necessary... Wait a minute." Sun Hang stepped forward, clapped his hands, and said loudly, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

The terracotta warriors did not move at all.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Sun Hang slapped his forehead, "You are all a bunch of barbarians, you don't understand this... Stand up now."

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding friction sound, the terracotta soldiers kneeling on the ground stood up one after another.

"I order you to guard this bone throne and the things on the throne. No one and nothing is allowed to approach before I give you new orders. Do you understand?" Sun Hang said.

The terracotta soldiers immediately moved, forming a crescent-shaped defensive formation around the bone throne. The crossbows on the four chariots were all aimed at the main tunnel, which was the only entrance to this underground hall.

Several field operators guarding the off-road vehicle suddenly felt a chill and carefully avoided the direction where the crossbow arrow was pointing.

"So effective?" Ye Jiu was stunned. "Did you get some special item like the imperial seal or tiger talisman? These terracotta warriors actually listen to you?"

"If you want to talk about the Jade Seal, then the closest thing is the thing on the Bone Throne." Sun Hang shrugged, "But that thing also has to obey my orders..."

"No... you just participated in a rank-up trial..." Ye Jiu looked at Sun Hang with a depressed look on his face, "Why did you suddenly become so awesome? Are you cheating?"

"If Earth Online had a cheat, I might have really turned it on." Sun Hang nodded in agreement.

Whether it is its own abilities or the existence of the three apes, with the current level of understanding of human civilization, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a plug-in, and it is a top-level violent plug-in that can directly rewrite the underlying code of the game.

It's a pity that Sun Hang is now like a computer novice who knows nothing about programming. He has the ability to modify the source code of the world, but he can't understand those complicated codes at all and dare not use this ability in an unknown field.

It's not a big deal if you delete some insignificant codes, but if you accidentally create a big bug and bring the whole world down, that would be a lot of fun...

What Sun Hang feared the most was that... he was not an "outsider" like the programmer in front of the computer screen. He was also a part of this world... In other words, he was also a line in the countless codes. If he deleted himself due to a shake of his hand...

Sun Hang quickly stopped this outrageous idea. He was a little worried that if he continued thinking about it, he might really be tempted to try it.

The three monkeys might not come out to cover him every time, but Sun Hang still understood that if he didn't seek death, he would not die.

"Professor Du has sent another file... This one is about the core members of the Phoenix Factory." Zhu Long glanced at the screen of his mobile phone. "These guys actually registered a company to cover themselves up... They are really bold."

"Oh? What company?"

"Chang'an Phoenix Cultural Relics Restoration Company." Zhulong said, "The company's registered owner is Shang Dalin. He was a tomb robber in his early years and a cultural relic dealer. He has been in prison several times..."

"This kind of person registering a cultural relic restoration company... isn't that clearly a scam?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but complain, "Do the guys in charge of the review really believe that he can turn over a new leaf?"

"In addition to Shang Dalin, this company has another registrant named Val Judela, a French missionary."
