Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 322 Kui Niu
These people in white coats first scanned Sun Hang's whole body with an instrument that looked like a thermometer, and then asked Sun Hang to lock all his equipment, including the "God-killing Gun", into a safe box.

Then, they took out several sets of protective clothing from cabinets welded to the wall, which made them look like the Michelin men when put on.

"Can I not wear this thing?" Sun Hang asked, "I always feel like I can't move my hands and feet when I wear this thing."

"Please rest assured, this protective suit is made of the latest materials. The total weight is only four kilograms, and the range of motion of the joints can fully meet the needs of human limb movements. In addition, auxiliary motors are installed in the internal skeleton. You can also regard it as an ultra-light powered exoskeleton." The leading man in a white coat said to Sun Hang.

"What I mean is, I've never worn something like this before, and I'm not used to it." Sun Hang frowned.

"Please try your best to cooperate with our work. The existence of protective clothing is not only to ensure the safety of people entering the containment area, but also to ensure that the monsters in the containment area will not be contaminated by foreign substances... I hope you can understand." The man in the white coat said with embarrassment.

"Okay." Sun Hang finally became a Michelin tire man - of course, not only him, but also those in white coats who were going to accompany him into the containment area also wore the same protective clothing.

Everyone filed onto the lift platform.

"The identification code has been verified, the mission authority code has been authenticated, and it has been confirmed to be the highest level of authority." The AI's voice sounded through the central control speaker of the lifting platform, "Heading to Containment Area No. 1."

The lifting platform began to accelerate, and soon surpassed the other platforms that were rising and falling on the surrounding tracks, and quickly sank deep into the ground.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you again." The leader in a white coat sat opposite Sun Hang and said to him in a very respectful tone, "I'm the person in charge of the Tianshu Tower's containment area, Yuri Alexi Ivanov. You can just call me Yuri."

"Yuri?" Sun Hang was slightly startled and asked subconsciously, "Can you control your mind?"

Yuri was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that Sun Hang was joking and said with a smile: "Among the Russian citizens living in the Xiazhou Federation, there are probably hundreds of thousands or even more people named Yuri... If everyone with this name had this ability, I'm afraid we would have already recovered our lost homeland long ago."

"But as far as I know, there are indeed several kinds of monsters that have the ability to control minds." Yuri continued, "And there are all kinds of them, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all very dangerous."

"Are there such strange creatures in the containment area of ​​Tianshu Tower?" Sun Hang asked with interest.

“I’m sorry, no.” Yuri shook his head. “Things with mind control abilities are extremely dangerous. Even if we can successfully contain them, they may use their abilities to control and exploit the staff in the containment area, thereby breaking out of containment.”

"Is there really not one?" Sun Hang narrowed his eyes. "I don't believe it."

"Well, there is one," Yuri sighed. "Serial number D-65 'Pure Black Iris', but its mind control ability needs pollen as a medium. If humans or animals accidentally inhale its pollen, the pollen will quickly decompose and invade the nervous system of the inhaler. Within two to four weeks, the brain structure and nervous system of the inhaler will be completely transformed, gradually turning it into a puppet of 'Pure Black Iris' for it to control. However, its control ability over weird creatures or infected people will be significantly weakened, or even completely ineffective."

"Then how did you contain it?" Sun Hang asked.

"The 'Pure Black Iris' is contained in a sealed lead box one meter square. Nutrients are delivered to it once every three weeks through a one-way pipe, and the entire delivery process is completed entirely by machines. No living creatures are allowed to enter or leave the containment room, including the nutrient preparation room and even the supporting pump room... If you want to choose the 'Pure Black Iris' as your target, you must wait until its flowering period is over before we can let you..."

"I'm not interested." Sun Hang waved his hand. "I just asked casually... I have no use for an ability that only works on ordinary people... Can I control old man Pei and use him to secretly control the entire Tianshu Tower?"

Listening to Sun Hang's "extremely dangerous" speech, Yuri couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. However, after his wrist bumped against the bucket-shaped helmet, he realized that he was now wearing a full set of protective clothing...

In theory, this kind of protective clothing has a temperature control device inside, which can control the temperature to the most comfortable level according to the human body's condition. However, Yuri still felt sweat sliding down his brow...

Sukabulie... Does this guy know what he just said? Even if he has the highest authority given by Mr. Pei, there must be a limit to joking...

Yuri coughed twice and changed the subject a little stiffly: "So, Mr. Sun Hang, what kind of monster do you plan to devour this time? There are many types and numbers of monsters in the containment area. If you can describe your requirements in detail, it may save a lot of unnecessary time..."

"Actually, I don't know what I'm going to devour." Sun Hang said honestly, "How about this, bring all the best dishes you have here, and I'll take my time to choose."

To be honest, Sun Hang's current expression is like a nouveau riche who has never seen the world and walked into a high-end French restaurant. Faced with all the dishes on the menu that he has never heard of, instead of ordering blindly with his eyes closed, he might as well let the kitchen serve all the top dishes in order of price from high to low.

Anyway...he doesn't have to pay.

"Uh..." Yuri was speechless. "Then...then how about I give you the electronic list of the objects in storage later, and you can decide for yourself..."

"Do you have any recommendations?" Sun Hang asked.

"I..." Yuri couldn't help cursing in his heart again - Sukabuli, I'm not the owner of the Taotie meme, how can I recommend it to you? You're talking as if I would chew two weird things every morning when I have nothing to do...

Finally, the lift platform stopped. Yuri unbuckled his seat belt with a sense of relief, stood up, and walked down the platform at a quick pace.

"In front of us is the No. 1 containment area, where the highest-level monsters contained in the Tianshu Tower are located." Yuri said to Sun Hang, "The entire containment area is divided into more than 4,000 areas of varying sizes. If you want to visit all 4,000 areas, I'm afraid it will take..."

"What is that?" Sun Hang asked, pointing at a large bone rack hanging high in the containment area.

The last time he took the Jade Pillar Lifting Platform, he saw people from the Tianshu Tower transporting a similar skeleton to the underground storage area - but the skeleton in front of him was obviously not the same one that Sun Hang had seen. The size of this skeleton was so large that the inner diameter of the Jade Pillar could not allow it to pass through. If they wanted to transport this thing here, they would either have to open up another transportation channel or disassemble the skeleton into parts and reassemble them after transporting it down.

"This is the skeleton of Bingqi Kui." Yuri said. "Bingqi? Is it ranked so high?" Sun Hang was a little surprised, "How did you destroy it?"

His Taotie meme can only be ranked ninth among Type C monsters, and the black dragon that forced humans to use high-yield nuclear weapons to destroy it is ranked only fifteenth.

Although the serial number ranking of monsters does not necessarily represent their absolute strength, this rule generally only applies to monsters with serial numbers above three digits - for monsters with two-digit or even single-digit serial numbers, the smaller the serial number, it often still means that it is more dangerous.

It is difficult to quantify the strength of these monsters with a specific number, but all the monsters ranked in the top ten, without exception, have the ability to destroy a large city.

"Yes, but when we found it, it was already a skeleton." Yuri said, "We excavated this skeleton under the beach on the southeast coast of Xiazhou Continent... Local residents reported to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau that there had been abnormal thunderstorms in the coastal area for several consecutive months. After a detailed investigation, the investigators finally found a small part of the skeleton exposed from under the mud on the beach. Then they quickly reported the matter to higher authorities, until we sent a professional team to dig out the entire skeleton and transport it back to Tianshu Tower."

"Why is it called 'Kui'?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Please pay attention to its skeleton. Doesn't it look like a huge bison, but it only has one leg?"

"At first I thought the other three legs were missing... After all, it's normal for dinosaur skeletons in museums to be missing pieces here and there," said Sun Hang.

"No, this skeleton is complete." Yuri shook his head. "This monster really only has one leg. In addition, we also found that it has the ability to control lightning and even manipulate and change the weather. These abilities are consistent with the legendary monster 'Kui Niu' recorded in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas', so we gave it this name."

"After the weird creature dies, won't the memes in its body dissipate?" Sun Hang asked in confusion, "Could it be that this guy is not dead yet?"

"We had a heated discussion on this point," Yuri said. "But the final conclusion is that Bingqi Kui is dead, but its meme strength is too high. After a long time, it still hasn't completely withered. After some external stimuli, it will still have a stress response - for example, the abnormal thunderstorm weather on the southeast coast is the embodiment of its ability."

"Controlling lightning and weather... these abilities are great." Sun Hang nodded. "If I want to devour it, do I have to eat such a large skeleton?"

"No, we will scan the entire skeleton and find the part with the strongest residual meme reaction." Yuri said, "Although it is a residual meme, the total amount of memes inside the entire skeleton is too large for humans... You only need to absorb a small part of it to gain the ability of 'Kui'."

"Oh……"

"Then I'll have someone take ..."

"Wait a minute, write this down and I'll look at other things." Sun Hang said.

"Okay." Yuri nodded. "According to Master Pei's instructions, you can freely choose any of the monsters in the entire containment area... But I still don't recommend you to choose some of the more dangerous monsters. After all, you may be attacked at any time during the process of swallowing."

"Uh…are you warning me?"

"It's just a friendly reminder." Yuri said, "But if you insist on swallowing high-risk monsters, we will still cooperate with you."

"Okay... then can you tell me which is the most dangerous monster here?" Sun Hang suddenly smiled at Yuri, "Or to put it another way, which monster do you least want me to absorb?"

Not only towards the monsters, but also towards the person Sun Hang - the main character is a rebel.

The veins on Yuri's forehead jumped twice. He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Didn't you say that you would cooperate with me no matter what?" Sun Hang asked back.

"Well, that thing was just delivered here six months ago. It should be in Section 1855 now. Please follow me."

The area of ​​Confinement Area No. 1 is very large. If you simply use your feet to measure it, you may not be able to walk around every place here even if you walk for a month. A staff member drove a small car from the warehouse nearby, and Sun Hang and Yuri got on it immediately.

"Director...are you sure you really want to go and see that thing?" The staff member driving the car turned around and asked hesitantly.

"Confirmed." Yuri nodded, "I believe in the reliability of our containment procedures."

"Okay...ok." The staff member seemed a little reluctant, but he turned back and stepped on the accelerator.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a room covered with various warning symbols.

"We're here." Yuri jumped out of the car. "Before you go in, let me first introduce you to the basic information of this monster. The serial number of this monster is B423 'Lucas'... Please don't let your guard down just because its serial number is at the end. Believe me, this monster is as dangerous as any of the monsters ranked in the top ten."

"Type B 423 'Lucas'?" Sun Hang muttered, "Type B weirdness... that should be a phenomenon-type weirdness, right? Why does the name sound like a person's name?"

"Because this creature was once a monster hunter affiliated with the Tianshu Tower." Yuri said, "During one operation, his infection progress exceeded the dangerous threshold, and he produced a strange fusion phenomenon with the target monster... and finally became the current 'Y423' monster."
