Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 325: Violent Problem Solving
"It's quite interesting...hahaha." Sun Hang suddenly laughed.

Yuri, who kept his head up, felt a chill inexplicably... He didn't know why, but for a moment, he seemed to think that the laughter of the young man in front of him... was even weirder than what was happening.

……

……

At the same time, in the suburbs of Chunming City, the Tianshu Tower's superpower management department has an independent testing area.

Rather than a test area, it is more like a medium-sized military camp. Apart from the circle of buildings built along the outer wall, the open space in the middle of the camp is divided into two parts - on the west side is a helipad with more than a dozen helicopters and vertical take-off and landing aircraft parked, and on the east side is a large playground of standard size, where a group of people wearing standard training uniforms of the Xiazhou Federal Army are running on the runway.

But if you look closely, you will find that these people do not have any markings indicating their unit affiliation or military rank. Not only that, among these dozen people, there are people of all heights, weights, and sizes, men, women, and children. The physical differences between them are extremely obvious - the speed of the slowest ones is almost the same as walking, and they are about to be outnumbered by the fastest people.

"Are they, people with super powers?" Ling Xiao asked, looking out the window while sitting in the car.

"The young man has a vicious look in his eyes." Sun Qiong, who was driving, said, "Yes, they are all psychics from our department, and now is the time for physical training... But don't get me wrong, we won't force the psychics to do anything. They are here for training only because the contracts they signed are different."

"contract?"

"The contracts between us and the psychics are roughly divided into two types. One is to be employed full-time by the Tianshu Tower, accept militarized management and training, and need to obey the orders of the Tianshu Tower... Correspondingly, the full-time employment contract has very high wages and benefits. Well, it's almost thirty times more than the field operator contract you signed." Sun Qiong said.

"What about the other one?"

"The other is the most common cooperative contract that more than 90% of psychics will sign. Psychics who sign this contract can enjoy some benefits, such as regular physical examinations, ability tests, free medical care and housing, and standard living security. They can get a subsidy of about 10,000 yuan a month. You don't have to do anything to get these benefits. You just need to come to our department and punch in regularly. In addition, Tianshu Tower will also release various tasks suitable for psychics to perform. You can get extra rewards by accepting these tasks... Of course, the generosity of this reward is definitely linked to the difficulty of the task."

"Then after I sign the second contract, can I continue to work as a field operator at the Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Of course, this contract will not have any impact on you... In fact, there are many people with special abilities who have multiple professional identities at the same time... Even among the current members of the Federal Parliament, there is a registered person with special abilities." Sun Qiong replied.

"Oh." Ling Xiao nodded.

Sun Qiong did not take Ling Xiao to the test directly, but took him to a guest room first - according to her, what Ling Xiao needed to do next was to have a good rest and adjust himself to the best condition as much as possible.

However, less than five minutes after Sun Qiong left, there was a knock on Ling Xiao's door.

The people knocking on the door were a young man wearing sunglasses and a tall middle-aged woman. Both of them were wearing white coats as researchers and had the badge of Tianshu Tower on their chests.

The young man wearing sunglasses was pushing a small flatbed cart filled with boxes of various sizes. In one of the boxes, Ling Xiao felt a very familiar smell.

"Hello, we are from the No. 1 Research Institute." The middle-aged woman greeted Ling Xiao, "The strange equipment sent by the Tianfu City Weird Thing Research Institute for inspection has been registered, and your personal information has been entered into the list of qualified persons... This thing should have been sent back to Tianfu City by someone, but after learning that you came to Chunming City in person, we decided to hand it over to you directly."

"Radius?" Ling Xiao had already guessed what was in the box.

"Yes, serial number 'Ji 2853', strange equipment 'Ultra', qualified person: Ling Xiao." The middle-aged woman nodded, "Although Tianfu City has submitted the relevant test data, if possible, I still hope to retest it... This shouldn't bother you, right?"

Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but silently made way to let the young man wearing sunglasses push the cart into the room.

The young man opened the boxes one by one, assembled and arranged a large number of devices one by one, and then connected these devices to the electrodes attached to Ling Xiao's body. Finally, he opened the box that exuded Ling Xiao's familiar scent and carefully took out the "radius ulna".

"Hold it." The young man handed the radius to Ling Xiao, "Then activate the ability of the strange equipment... the lowest strength is enough, just activate the ability."

Ling Xiao had done the same test once at the Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute, so he was familiar with the whole process.

He stretched out his thumb and lightly scratched the blade of the ulna. A trace of blood flowed out from the wound, and the indicator lights on the equipment nearby began to flash wildly.

The young man pressed a button on the frame of his sunglasses, and a large number of characters immediately scrolled on the lenses of the sunglasses - only then did Ling Xiao realize that this pair of sunglasses was actually a screen used to display the detected data.

"Hmm... the synchronization rate is 57.97%... which is exactly the same as the data reported by Tianfu City." The young man nodded. "This is quite excellent data. Combined with the characteristics of 'Radius Ulna', you should become a very powerful qualified person."

"When using the strange equipment, the synchronization rate will gradually increase. This is normal and there is no need to worry." The middle-aged woman said to Ling Xiao seriously, "But if the synchronization rate increases too quickly, for example, it increases by more than three percentage points at a time, please stop using the strange equipment immediately and contact the No. 1 Institute... In addition, in some special cases, the synchronization rate will temporarily increase significantly... For example, when the qualified person is threatened with death or bursts out with some potential, the synchronization rate will quickly drop back to the original level after this special situation ends... But regardless of whether the synchronization rate drops or not, if this happens, you must go to the No. 1 Institute for an examination."

The middle-aged woman paused and continued, "Also, although the maximum threshold of the synchronization rate is 75%, under normal circumstances, once the synchronization rate exceeds 70%, we no longer recommend that qualified people use this strange equipment... You should understand what we mean, right?"

"Team leader, there's no need to say such things, right?" the young man in sunglasses muttered, "In his case... the final synchronization rate should not exceed 65%. It's not easy to cross the threshold of 70%."

"Any qualified person with a synchronization rate of more than 50% has the potential to cross this threshold." The middle-aged woman glanced at the young man coldly, "If you ask me this kind of question again next time, you can go back to the trainee group and stay with those interns."

"...Team leader, I know I was wrong." The young man immediately became obedient.

"If you have any questions about the details and usage of the strange equipment, you can contact us directly." The middle-aged woman turned her attention to Ling Xiao again. "Also, I remember Ye Jiu is also in Tianfu City. His strange equipment is similar to yours, both of which belong to the cold weapon category. Perhaps you can ask him for some advice on combat."

"Speaking of which, how is Ye Jiu now?" the young man also asked.

"Since the last mission, he has been staying in the archives room of the Weird Things Research Institute in Tianfu City." Ling Xiao answered truthfully. "Archives room? Staying until now? This doesn't seem like something he would do..." The young man seemed to be very familiar with Ye Jiu, and his tone was full of surprise, "Is he checking something?"

"Chang'an City." Ling Xiao replied.

"Chang'an City? Chang'an City... the capital of the prosperous Tang Empire... Black-armored Cavalry..." The young man frowned, "Could it be that something went wrong with 'Killing'?"

……

……

Deep inside the Tianshu Tower, there is the No. 1 Monster Containment Area.

"You...why are you laughing like that..." Yuri asked stutteringly.

"Nothing, I just think this thing is interesting." Sun Hang simply sat down on the sofa, "Just like a child who finds a fun toy and laughs from the bottom of his heart... Well, just think of me as a child at heart."

"You still have a childlike innocence...?"

"By the way, is there electricity in the socket in the room?" Sun Hang noticed that the TV plug was thrown on the side of the TV cabinet, and less than twenty centimeters away from the plug was the socket embedded in the wall.

"No... This living room is completely isolated from the outside world. In order to prevent the strange creature from using the circuit to invade the Tianshu Tower, we will not set up any sockets and network interfaces here. Even if we want to conduct experiments, we will use an independent mobile power supply to power it."

"I see... So, Yuri, as a senior researcher at the Tianshu Tower, why do you think that the surveillance footage of the living room appeared on the screen and we were turned into skeletons?"

"You ask me?"

"Of course I'm asking you. Is there anyone else I can ask it?" Sun Hang pointed at the TV opposite with the remote control. This action made Yuri jump with fear again.

"...I dare not jump to conclusion without detailed experimental data to support it," Yuri said.

"Don't you have any intuition? Or, use your imagination... What does this picture mean to you?"

“Imagination…” Yuri wanted to complain, but he suppressed the urge and said in the calmest tone possible, “Personally, I think… the image that appears on the screen may very well… may very well… be a prophecy?”

"Prophecy?" Sun Hang tilted his head. "You mean, both of us will turn into skeletons?"

"All humans will die... It may show what will happen decades or even hundreds of years later..." Yuri said this and suddenly couldn't continue.

Because he discovered a serious loophole.

If the picture shows the future, why did only the bodies of two people turn into skeletons?
The protective suits they wear still look brand new - even the furnishings in the living room in the picture look exactly the same as they do now, with no signs of aging at all.

"It might... only... only show the living things..."

"If I say I want to swallow it, you won't refuse, right?" Sun Hang suddenly stood up and walked towards the TV.

"No... But in this situation, I think we'd better find out the cause of the anomaly, and then..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Hang punched the TV screen.

"Since I can eat this thing, it should be okay for me to smash it, right?"

After smashing the record player in the other world, Sun Hang became obsessed with this violent problem-solving approach of "breaking all laws with one force"... No matter what monsters or goblins you are, you have to take a beating from me first.

If you don't die after eating the stick, then we can discuss life, philosophy, and which pancake shop in Chunming City makes the most authentic one.

Sun Hang's fist went straight through the TV screen - but the picture on the screen did not disappear. The Sun Hang in the screen was also standing in front of the TV and punched through the screen of the TV in the TV screen.

"You...what are you doing?" Yuri whispered, "Please stop your destructive behavior immediately, I will send someone to deal with it..."

Before Yuri could utter the word "deal with", a hammer made of liquid metal appeared in Sun Hang's hand, and with a few bangs, the entire TV was smashed into pieces!
"He... where did he get the hammer?" Yuri was completely stunned. He remembered clearly that before entering the containment area, Sun Hang should have sealed up all the liquid metal he was carrying...

With a crisp sound, the glass coffee table, which had lost its support, fell to the ground and shattered. Yuri looked down and found that the four metal legs of the coffee table had disappeared without a trace.

Sun Hang did not stop the action in his hand. The hammer was repeatedly raised and then dropped heavily.

The TV's casing, screen, and internal electronic components flew everywhere... Yuri was so scared that he quickly closed the door behind him, fearing that some tiny fragments would fly outside the living room.
