Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 299 0%
The lady who was shot in the head stood frozen in place, her exposed fair skin gradually turning red, and after a few seconds it turned the same red as the long dress she was wearing.

The next second, its body instantly liquefied and collapsed, falling to the ground like a small blood rain.

The exorcist fell back to the ground. Sun Hang was about to call her, but unexpectedly she fell backwards.

Hundreds of hyphae instantly formed a buffer net, covering the exorcist's body.

Sun Hang ran quickly to her side.

The exorcist's face looked very ugly - although the half of her remaining face was covered with horrific scars, it was still obvious that her face was very pale, and the artificial trachea piston in her throat kept making strange noises, and even at the place where the human body and the mechanical body were connected, blood was faintly seeping out.

"Even if you are a professional match, it's not easy for you..." Sun Hang helped the exorcist up. The latter adjusted his condition quite quickly. In just a few seconds, his breathing rate had slowed down and his legs could barely support his body.

"The last time I fired three shots at a monster, it was a creature with a serial number in the top 20..." said the exorcist.

Thanks to the artificial voice device, her voice didn't sound weak at all.

The exorcist raised his right hand.

The two fingers she had just bitten had now become like dried orange peels, shriveled and wrinkled, as if all the flesh and blood had been sucked away, leaving only a layer of dead skin covering the finger bones... She gently flicked them with her other hand, and the dried skin instantly turned into powder, exposing two pieces of white finger bones.

"Oh, two more fingers are missing." The exorcist sighed.

"Is this the price for those three shots just now?" Sun Hang asked.

He suddenly felt that the gun used by the exorcist was quite similar to Ling Xiao's "God-killing Gun", except that the "God-killing Gun" could kill other monsters in addition to spirits. The price to pay was the more abstract "vitality".

As for the exorcist's shotgun, the cost of firing it seems to be nothing more than the user's flesh and blood.

"Yes." The exorcist said, "In fact, I am the ammunition for this gun."

She carefully put the shotgun back into the box, then took out dozens of sealing talismans from another bag and pasted them on the surface of the box again.

"Then these prosthetic parts on your body...are not because of injuries, but are 'used' by you?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Most of them." The exorcist nodded. "Every time I fire the gun, this thing eats up some of my 'parts'. To put it bluntly, I am a consumable."

For some reason, when Sun Hang heard the exorcist say this, the first person he thought of was Lao Wang.

Before his "rebirth", Lao Wang also regarded himself as a "consumable", a consumable that could be discarded after all its value was squeezed out.

"How much 'human mass' is left in your body now?" Sun Hang asked, looking up and down at the exorcist's torso wrapped in a thick raincoat.

"About one-third," the exorcist muttered, "I can't remember exactly, but I have more than a hundred guns to fire... With today's prosthetic technology, even if I only have half a brain left, those technicians will be able to make me move."

"This thing is really a double-edged sword... Can other hunters use it besides you?" Sun Hang asked tentatively.

"It can't be used." The exorcist shook his head decisively. "You should have noticed that I'm not only a weird hunter, but also a qualified user of weird equipment. And this gun is my weird equipment. The synchronization rate between it and me was 41.5% at the beginning, and then it rose to almost 5% after I used it more often... To be honest, Tianshu Tower has been looking for a replacement for me, but we have tried many people, both infected and non-infected, and none of them had a synchronization rate over %."

"What a pity." Sun Hang said softly.

If this gun is used by him, the side effect of devouring flesh and blood will be equivalent to nothing - as long as the nutrients absorbed from the outside world are sufficient, the Tai Sui meme can fill the missing flesh and blood at any time. Theoretically, not only Sun Hang, but also Tai Sui meme infected people like Song Yarong and Jiang Yu can use the exorcist's shotgun without damage.

Even Wang Xiyi can use it - the self-recovery ability of the Black Dragon Meme is not inferior to Tai Sui at all.

Of course, there is another solution, which is to implant the Tai Sui meme into the exorcist's body. This not only solves the problem of the number of uses, but can even allow the exorcist's currently missing limbs to grow back.

However, Sun Hang did not rush to speak.

The Tai Sui meme in Sun Hang's body has infected two people so far, Song Yarong and Jiang Yu. Before being infected, they were both uninfected.

But the exorcist is different. She is an infected person. No one can guarantee that after the Tai Sui meme is implanted in her, it will not conflict with her own meme, or induce her own meme to mutate in an uncontrollable direction...

To take a step back, even if the Tai Sui meme can be perfectly integrated with the exorcist, it will inevitably change the exorcist's own meme frequency. In that case, how much synchronization rate will be left between her and this weird shotgun is completely unknown.

"Yeah, it's a pity." The exorcist said nonchalantly, "After I die, this thing will probably have to be sealed in the ice storage - by the way, can this thing start working now?"

The exorcist pointed to the collection equipment not far away.

All the indicators on the control panel have turned green.

"I almost forgot that this thing needs to be started manually..." Sun Hang waved his hand, and the two mycelium puppets immediately walked to the operating position of the collection equipment.

Several red lasers shot out from the front end of the device, circling the penetration position on the surface of the giant cocoon. Then, the thick hammer began to rotate at high speed, approaching the giant cocoon little by little.

"I thought it was a pile driver, but it turned out to be an electric drill?" Sun Hang muttered.

"Can this thing really penetrate the giant cocoon?" the exorcist asked doubtfully, "Even a nuclear bomb couldn't blow it open, but this drill can?"

"You should ask the technical staff of the institute about this question." Sun Hang shrugged. "If we can't drill it open, we will just evacuate. It's not our responsibility anyway."

"Then aren't my two fingers wasted?" The exorcist looked down at his hand, "I hope those technicians have some idea of ​​what's going on..."

The hammer of the collection equipment - or the drill bit - finally touched the surface of the giant cocoon. There was no harsh friction sound, no deafening impact or explosion, and even the expected sparks or flying debris did not appear.

The surface of the giant cocoon seemed to be liquefied and collapsed a little in an instant, and the drill bit of the collection equipment drilled into the collapsed area without any hindrance.

"This... what kind of black technology is this?" the exorcist said in astonishment, "It went so smoothly that it was a little unexpected." "I don't know either, but the drill bit of this collection equipment is itself an artifact-type monster. Maybe this thing can just restrain Chimera No. 17..." Sun Hang took a look at the "monster battery" embedded in the slot. The eel monster inside the battery seemed to have been melted and merged with the "battery liquid", leaving only a small amount of cotton-like meat fragments floating in the liquid.

"Collection operation is in progress..." A line of text appeared on the control panel screen, "Estimated remaining time: 554 seconds."

"Not bad, less than ten minutes." Sun Hang said to the exorcist, "It's within an acceptable range."

"But Chimera No. 17 obviously can't accept it." The exorcist lowered his voice, "Another thing is approaching... Just like the big guy just now, they are all spirit-like strange creatures."

"How did you know?" Sun Hang was stunned. Even he didn't sense the new aura of strange creatures... Could it be that this exorcist's perception ability is better than his?
"I don't know, but it can feel it." The exorcist patted the box standing on the ground. Sun Hang then noticed that the box containing the strange shotgun was shaking slightly, and several talismans on the surface of the box had fallen off.

As soon as these fallen talismans fell to the ground, they immediately burned and turned into a small pile of ashes.

"It seems that two fingers are not enough." The exorcist shook his head helplessly, tore off the remaining talismans, and took out the ghost shotgun again.

Sun Hang suddenly discovered that he could actually feel the "emotions" of the strange shotgun - tension, excitement, extreme bloodlust and a crazy desire for flesh and blood... To put it in a more mysterious way, this shotgun seemed to be home to a violent soul, and this soul was most likely a chosen one of Khorne when he was alive.

The emotion of the shotgun was countless times stronger than before - when the exorcist used it in front of Sun Hang for the first time, Sun Hang had not noticed anything abnormal about it, but now, it seemed to have completely abandoned its disguise.

"Something's not right." The exorcist muttered.

"Are you talking about the gun in your hand?" Sun Hang asked.

"How do you know?" The exorcist was a little surprised. "Normal people would think I was talking about the coming evil spirit, right?"

"Because I smelled something wrong from this gun." Sun Hang said.

"It's very excited." The exorcist said bluntly, "It rarely shows this level of excitement."

"Is excitement a good thing?" Sun Hang asked.

"When it is excited, its lethality to spirits will increase significantly, but it will also devour more flesh and blood." The exorcist said, "The last time it was this excited, I fed it an arm and two legs, and it was satisfied."

The exorcist said, glancing at his bracelet.

Her bracelet is different from ordinary hunter bracelets. In addition to the information on the hunter bracelet, the bracelet will also display the synchronization rate between the exorcist and the strange equipment in real time.

"The synchronization rate has risen to 69%." The exorcist said, "It's a pity that the communication here is blocked, otherwise the people responsible for monitoring my condition would definitely go crazy now."

Finally, after a delay of about two minutes, Sun Hang also sensed the aura of the strange creatures gathering towards this side.

Countless figures appeared in the rain. They staggered and stumbled towards this side, looking like a group of drunk zombies.

Based on the outlines of these figures, Sun Hang could vaguely guess their identities.

These people are probably the ghosts of the victims in the Qiang villages.

"They are accomplices." The exorcist said, "I can sense a strong resentment... These spirits were killed by Chimera 17 when they were alive, but after death they became slaves of Chimera 17. This is what it means to be an accomplice to a tiger."

"The number is probably several thousand." Sun Hang nodded.

"There are only four hundred seconds left. I may not be able to delay that long." The exorcist pushed a shotgun shell into the chamber of his gun. "If you don't have any means to deal with spirit-like monsters, I suggest you leave now. I may be able to buy you a minute."

"If you fire one more shot, you will die," Sun Hang said. "One shot will eat up all your remaining flesh and blood. You won't even get ten seconds, let alone a minute."

"Hasn't it been ten seconds?" The exorcist used the remaining half of her face to force out a smile that could scare a child to tears, "You better run!"

"Give me the gun." Sun Hang stretched out his hand to her.

"What did you say?" The exorcist's eyes widened. She was a little suspicious that her cochlear implant had been flooded with water during the heavy rain, so she might have heard something wrong.

"I asked you to give me the shotgun and your strange weapon equipment. Have I made myself clear this time?" Sun Hang emphasized again.

"What are you going to do?!"

"This gun needs to devour enough flesh and blood, and you can't satisfy it." Sun Hang said.

"But you are not qualified! This is a strange equipment, only qualified people can use it!" the exorcist questioned.

"You haven't tried it, so how do you know I can't adapt it?" Sun Hang glanced at the exorcist's wrist, "If you don't believe me, lend me your bracelet."

"Stop joking. If you don't want to leave, come with me to kill these evil spirits!" the exorcist said angrily.

"What you just said is right. I really don't have an effective means to deal with spiritual creatures, so I need to borrow your things." Before he finished speaking, the shotgun had already fallen into Sun Hang's hands.

"Are you crazy?! Give me back my gun!"

"Give me the bracelet." Sun Hang weighed the shotgun in his hand. He could hear the soul in the shotgun cheering.

"At this time, are you planning to test your synchronization rate?" The exorcist said this, but she still took off the bracelet and threw it to Sun Hang.

Sun Hang put the bracelet on his other hand, and the next second, the synchronization rate between him and the strange equipment was displayed.
