Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 318 Second Floor

Fortunately, the moment he stepped into the fire, Sun Hang had cut off his sense of pain.

Blue flames rose up on Sun Hang's body surface and began to frantically devour the orange-yellow "flames" around him - but these "flames" were not real flames, but more like a kind of energy-like weirdo.

Its greatest characteristic is its high temperature, in addition to the ability to cut, tear and partially solidify.

However, they have no self-awareness, and their meme sequences are incomplete, just like the legs of a table riddled with holes eaten by termites... According to the Tianshu Tower's definition of monsters, this "flame" cannot be considered an independent monster individual, but at most a "derivative" of a certain monster.

There are too many derivatives to be completely eliminated... The only solution is to find the culprit who created these derivatives...

But the question is - why did Sun Hang want to remove these derivatives?

He sat cross-legged directly in the "flame" and began to feast on it - the physical Tai Sui tentacles could not absorb these energy derivatives, so he replaced them with the black dragon's dragon flame. This is like using water to dissolve oil stains on clothes, so replacing the solvent with gasoline would solve the problem.

The quality of energy derivatives as a main meal cannot be compared with that of a whole monster, but they are more than enough to be used as dessert - of course, the most important point is another point, that is, the large quantity is enough to fill you up.

Feeling the slow growth of the "blue bar", Sun Hang simply closed his eyes and began to meditate.

He was not in a hurry to find the missing Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu... or to put it another way, there was no point in being anxious.

If you don't get rid of the strange projections of the world in this level, the other party will never let you enter the next level.

Sun Hang has increased the absorption rate to the maximum. The blue dragon flame has expanded to hundreds of times the size of his body, continuously swallowing the energy derivatives from the surroundings into it, and then "digesting" them in an extremely brutal manner, converting them into Sun Hang's own power.

The nearby energy derivatives had been almost completely looted, and the dragon flame expanded its size once again... However, just as the dragon flame pounced on the energy derivatives farther away, all the energy derivatives in the scene began to shrink and gather, and finally all concentrated on a figure standing on the roof.

The figure was as skinny as a mummy, and on its body was an armor made of energy derivatives. A huge number of energy derivatives were compressed again and again, and finally materialized. This made the material of the armor look as gorgeous as flowing gold, to the extent that it would burn your eyes if you looked directly at it.

"This golden outfit is so flashy." Sun Hang exclaimed in a low voice.

The other party didn't waste any time talking to Sun Hang. It swooped down from a high place and plunged into the dark blue dragon flame.

The dragon flame can still absorb the energy derivatives that form the armor, but the absorption efficiency has not increased. For this armor that gathers all the energy derivatives of this other world, this loss is only a drop in the bucket.

The figure did not pounce on Sun Hang, but landed about five or six meters away from Sun Hang.

It stood up and stared at Sun Hang with its dark eyes.

The golden energy armor is a human body, but this body has been burned into charcoal. There are no eyeballs in the empty eye sockets, only endless and deep darkness.

"Hello." Sun Hang greeted the other party.

"She's not good, not good at all." Anna's voice sounded in Sun Hang's ears.

"why?"

"Because she found that with the characteristics of this inner world, it seems that there is no way to deal with you." Anna said.

"The characteristics of the inner world? Are they referring to these flame-like energy derivatives?" Sun Hang asked curiously, "This inner world has fire attributes? Then could it be that the next inner world has water attributes? A Factory No. 105 sunk to the bottom of the sea?"

"Just like those video games with multiple plots and multiple endings, each layer of the inner world is an if line, and this layer of the inner world depicts a No. 105 factory that was burned down by a fire. And the ability of the projection of the monster in this layer of the inner world is to control these... 'flames'."

"You've been playing video games recently? You're so free?" Sun Hang was very interested in Anna's analogy.

According to the construction time and blockade time of the Nameless Island Research Institute, it was impossible for Anna to come into contact with things like video games before being released by herself.

"No." Anna's answer disappointed Sun Hang. "Don't forget, I have the souls, emotions and memories of many people. These memories allow me to understand everything about human society today... I even have mastered the maintenance technology of several cutting-edge military transport aircraft."

In the Lizhou City incident, the list of casualties included a military ground crew stationed at Panlong Airport, so Sun Hang didn't think Anna was joking with him.

"Then why don't I introduce you to a job. Repairing airplanes has a much better future than being a ghost." While talking nonsense to Anna, Sun Hang slowly approached the "charred corpse" that was staring at him.

Just when the two sides were only half a meter apart, the "charred corpse" suddenly raised his right hand and stabbed Sun Hang's eyes with two fingers!

The next second, her two fingers were broken by Sun Hang.

The "charred corpse" opened its mouth wide and let out a series of roars that Sun Hang could not hear. The energy armor on its body turned into a golden chain and lashed towards Sun Hang.

The energy density of the chain was very high, and Long Yan was unable to completely digest it before the chain touched Sun Hang - the places on Sun Hang's body that were hit by the chain were instantly torn apart and bleeding.

But it was only for a moment, and soon, these places returned to their original state, leaving only a torn hole on the surface of the combat uniform.

Taking advantage of the fact that the "charred corpse" had lost the protection of its armor, Sun Hang stepped on it to the ground and roughly pried open its upper and lower jaws with his hands. At the same time, the third arm made of mycelium inserted into its throat and reached its chest cavity!
The third hand grabbed the heart of the charred corpse - although its body had been carbonized, the hot heart was still beating strongly.

Of course, from the moment Sun Hang grabbed the heart, the description of "beating strongly" changed from present tense to past tense.

The big hand, with a strength comparable to that of hydraulic pliers, instantly crushed the heart of the charred corpse, and the exploded flesh and blood was quickly absorbed by the pores on the surface of the mycelium.

The charred corpse's struggle stopped.

The golden chains began to extinguish.

Everything in the scene began to become the background, along with the scene itself.

The whole world seems to be a painting covered with color eraser, and the colors and lines are fading away bit by bit.

"Congratulations, you broke through the first layer of the inner world so easily." Anna said in Sun Hang's ear with a chuckle.

"It just happens to be a restrained attribute. There's nothing to congratulate." Sun Hang rubbed his fingers, and the last trace of coke powder on his fingertips disappeared.

He looked around and found that he was still standing in the park of Factory No. 105, but the factory facilities were intact and there was no sign of being burned by the fire.

Sun Hang glanced at the lamppost not far away. It was straight.

"So, which level of the world am I in now?" Sun Hang asked.

"I don't know either." Anna replied. "Then why did you just say that I broke through the first layer of the inner world?"

"Because the first time you entered was the inner world." Anna's answer seemed so natural. "The inner world is stacked layer by layer, intertwined with each other, and there is no strict order or arrangement. If you insist on an answer, then just think of this as the second layer."

"Which floor are Jiang Yu and Ling Xiao on?"

"The first floor," Anna replied, "The first floor for them."

“Is it this floor?”

"No."

"Which layer of the inner world are they in, and which IF line is it?"

"It's 'Lair'."

"Can you see them?"

"No, I can only find some clues in the faults of space."

"Are they alive now?"

"I do not know."

"Very good, excellent answer." Sun Hang curled his lips, "Then which IF line am I in this inner world now?"

"It's the most interesting thing to explore on your own, isn't it?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll die here?"

"I believe you. You won't die here. Even she knows that the projection of the other world alone cannot kill you... Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent so much effort, time and energy, and even made herself extremely ugly and disgusting in exchange for power." Anna didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but when she said this, there was a hint of pity and disgust in her tone.

"You mean, the purpose of Chimera's making such a huge cocoon is not to destroy Tianfu City, but to kill me?"

"Of course. She doesn't care whether Tianfu City is destroyed or not, or whether humans live or die... Her original target was you." Anna sighed slightly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried every possible way to send you there."

"Do you think I'm safe in the occupied area?" Sun Hang laughed dryly. "There are strange creatures everywhere... Besides, if she wants to find me, can't she enter the occupied area?"

"Her existence is a taboo. If she enters the occupied area, all the monsters will be hostile to her." Anna said, "The same is true for me, so I usually don't enter the occupied area easily."

"Tsk...it seems like I know a great secret." Sun Hang gently pinched his philtrum, "If we move the giant cocoon to the occupied area, will those strange creatures help us eliminate her?"

"Yes, but only if you can move it," Anna said. "If you can, there won't be any 'pesticide plan', right?"

"You also know about the 'Pesticide Plan'?" Sun Hang was not very surprised.

What secret operation? It doesn't exist... As long as someone who knows about it is killed by the strange creature, the so-called confidentiality measures will instantly become a joke.

"In order to have a common language with mom, I devoured some people's memories." Anna said, "But mom, don't worry, these people are insignificant. Even if they are missing, it will not affect the implementation of your plan."

"To be honest, I don't believe you."

"You will believe me."

Sun Hang walked to a factory building marked with "Three" and gently placed his hand on the heavy alloy door.

The cold, hard alloy door gradually softened, and soon a hole large enough for a person to pass through appeared on the door.

Sun Hang walked into the factory.

On the helicopter, Song Yarong told Sun Hang that what Factory No. 105 produced was called FL09 reagent, an indispensable consumable for the production of anti-memetic agents.

But what Sun Hang saw now did not look like a factory for producing chemical preparations, but rather a slaughtering line.

There was a suspended conveyor system about the height of the second floor. There were many iron hooks under the conveyor belt, and on each hook hung a bloody corpse with its skin peeled off.

It is difficult to say whether these corpses are human or not - because each corpse has very obvious signs of mutation: some have four legs, some have arm joints that are folded in reverse, and some even have organs similar to intestines sandwiched in the gaps between their thigh muscles.

Driven by the conveyor belt, these corpses were sent into a lightless workshop. At the exit of the workshop, hanging on iron hooks were specially made "iron coffins" one after another.

"What is this? A fully automatic funeral processor?" Sun Hang asked puzzledly.

"This is what humans are doing today." A man in a suit and tie stood in the corridor on the third floor, leaning on the railing with both hands, looking down at Sun Hang below.

"Thank God, there is finally something that can communicate." Sun Hang said in his heart.

Sun Hang didn’t think the other person was a human being… because this man in a suit and tie had no face.

There was a blurry black mist above his neck, and the sound of his voice came from within the mist.

"Can you explain it in more detail?" Sun Hang asked.

"The 13th Research Institute, under the Tianshu Tower, the fifth artificial hunter production workshop." The man in a suit and leather shoes said word by word, "They gather children with potential together, feed them special food, and expose them to an environment full of dangerous memes... They infect and mutate them, making them no longer look like normal people..."

"Then, they act like quality inspectors in a meat processing plant, picking and choosing, eliminating unqualified ones and keeping those that can be used... further processing, marking them with the 'qualified' mark, and then packaging them into cans one by one and sending them to cold storage..." the man in a suit continued.

"so what?"

"Don't you think that what these seemingly righteous people do secretly is more horrifying than the weird creatures?"

"Then what does this have to do with me?" Sun Hang shrugged.
