Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 340

"Who?" Sun Hang asked.

"Fukada Miki, codenamed 'Eye of Death', is a psychic working in my department." Sun Qiong said, "Her ability is that she can use her own eyes to see the 'flaws' in strange creatures or infected people."

"In other words, can this person help me find the most vulnerable part of Chimera 17?" Sun Hang said, "Then why didn't she send it here earlier?"

"Because some time ago, Fukada Miki was undergoing a routine physical examination... and according to the plan proposed by Tianfu City, she is one of the 'secret weapons' of this plan." Sun Qiong lowered his voice, "You should know that Chimera 17 absorbs the memories of those it kills. Because of this ability, our action plan was almost completely exposed. Chimera 17 also took corresponding interference measures based on this information."

"I understand." Sun Hang reacted quickly and nodded, "Her existence cannot be exposed until the last stage of the plan..."

When facing an unbeatable enemy, only unexpected changes in the enemy's situation can change the course of the battle.

One variable in this battle is Sun Hang; the other variable is Fukada Miki, code-named "Eye of Death".

No wonder Yang Qi is so confident about the last step of the operation, "breaking the cocoon of Chimera No. 17 and injecting the 'insecticide' into the core"... Assuming that Fukada Miki can really find the flaw of Chimera No. 17, by gathering a large number of monster hunters and cutting-edge technological weapons, it is highly likely that an "injection channel" can be created that goes straight to the core.

The difficulty of this is completely different from collecting meme samples - the former is just equivalent to collecting a small amount of epidermal cells containing DNA with tweezers, while the latter requires inserting a thick and long needle directly into the heart of the monster.

"Yes... In fact, Yang Qi, the proposer of the pesticide plan, had already selected Fukada Miki as a participant in the operation from the beginning. However, in order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, she did not write Fukada Miki's name into the list of participants, but contacted us in a private capacity..."

Sun Qiong continued, "The transfer of Fukada Miki is the top secret of Tianshu Tower. No electronic or paper records will be left. No non-core personnel will know that she has been transferred to Tianfu City. Currently, no more than six people in the entire Tianshu Tower know about this. We will prepare a substitute to stay in Chunming City to create the illusion that Fukada Miki has not left. As for her, she will follow you to Tianfu City under the false identity of a logistics staff member... I will ask you to protect her personal safety and identity information."

"Okay." Sun Hang replied.

"Uh, there's one more thing." Sun Qiong's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to have difficulty speaking.

"What else?"

"Fukada Miki's personality is... a little bit weird." Sun Qiong said slowly, "Please be more tolerant."

"How weird is it?" Sun Hang asked, "Schizophrenia?"

"No, no, no... She doesn't suffer from any mental illness or psychological disease. She is very healthy and all physical examinations are normal." Sun Qiong shook her head repeatedly, "She is just... curious and has a strong interest in some special things."

"Special things? Like?"

"Strange creatures." Sun Qiong said, "More than once, when participating in the operation of hunting strange creatures, she would leave the protection of our personnel without authorization in order to observe the strange creatures up close... Apart from the abilities I just mentioned, she has no combat ability, and her physical strength is no different from that of an ordinary 17-year-old human girl... Her dangerous behavior has resulted in close calls several times, but before serious damage is caused, we cannot impose any substantial punishment on her."

"You mean she's disobedient?" Sun Hang glanced at Sun Qiong. "Why not just cuff her? Since her physical strength is the same as that of an ordinary person, any soldier should be able to control her, right?"

"If we restrict her personal freedom, she will choose to refuse to cooperate... or even go on a hunger strike." Sun Qiong sighed, "Since her ability is very special and there is no alternative... there is nothing we can do."

"Brainwashing, hypnosis, mind control... I don't believe you really have no solution." Sun Hang said.

"The methods you mentioned... are a bit too extreme." Sun Qiong's expression was a little embarrassed. "We still want to maintain a good relationship with the psychics as much as possible... This way, more psychics will be willing to cooperate with us instead of considering us as enemies. Once we take such measures against psychics, I'm afraid..."

"What did you just say?" Sun Hang asked.

"I said we want to be with the superpowers as much as possible..."

"The previous sentence." Sun Hang interrupted her, "Oh no, it should be the previous previous previous sentence. When I asked you what was wrong with her, your answer was...

"...She doesn't have any mental or psychological illness and is in good health?" Sun Qiong said tentatively.

"Yes, that's it." Sun Hang snapped his fingers. "How can this be healthy? This is clearly a problem girl! And the problem is very serious. It's normal to be curious, but doesn't the fact that she's not afraid of death show the seriousness of the problem?"

"Uh... Regarding this, our psychologist has conducted a detailed test on her..."

"What's the conclusion?"

"Youth...rebellious period." Sun Qiong replied.

"6." Sun Hang rolled his eyes. "If I were to take care of her, would I be able to hit her?"

"It's better not to... We don't want to use any force or violence unless it's absolutely necessary!" Sun Qiong said quickly.

"Then can I hypnotize her?" Sun Hang said, "Don't be too quick to deny it. Suppose, I am just saying a hypothesis. I can hypnotize her without anyone knowing and make her become well-behaved and obedient. And after the hypnosis is lifted, even she herself will not notice any abnormality... If all the above conditions are met, can I hypnotize her?"

Sun Qiong was silent.

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Sun Hang smiled and patted Sun Qiong on the shoulder. "Just leave the person to me."

After dealing with Sun Qiong, Sun Hang went to find Yuri.

"Take me to the containment room of the 'Scarlet Spore'." Sun Hang said straight to the point.

"Are you sure you want to swallow the 'Crimson Spore'?" Yuri asked, "The biological toxicity of that thing is really not as toxic as you think..."

"Is this 'Crimson Spore' as dangerous as B-423?"

"The danger of the scarlet spores and B423 cannot be compared. They are two strange creatures with completely different properties..." Yuri sighed, "Since you insist on devouring the 'scarlet spores', then according to my previous suggestion, you should first try whether you can withstand the spore toxin that has been diluted four million times. If you can, we can then consider devouring the creature itself." "Okay." Sun Hang responded.

The place for "poison testing" was chosen to be another fully enclosed and empty holding room. A medical team of more than fifty people was on standby outside the holding room. Inside the holding room, besides Sun Hang, there was only a remotely controlled multifunctional medical robot.

"We will inject 0.1 milliliter of spore toxin diluted four million times intradermally. Once a poisoning reaction is detected, we will immediately amputate the limb on the side where you received the injection to prevent the spread of the toxin..." Yuri's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"With such a small dose of toxin, even if you are poisoned, the body can metabolize it on its own, right?" Sun Hang asked doubtfully.

The strength of toxicity has always been linked to the dosage and the weight of the target - the same drop of pesticide is deadly to a small insect, but for a human whose weight is 100,000 times that of an insect, this dose of toxicity will at most make people feel slightly uncomfortable... or even no discomfort at all, because the toxin has already been metabolized by the body.

"The toxin of the scarlet spore is different... It is closer to a virus. After infecting the target, it will quickly plunder the energy and nutrients of the target's body cells and quickly replicate itself..."

“Isn’t that a virus?”

"But the toxin of the crimson spores has no complete cell structure and no nucleic acid... After it is separated from the spore body, even the weird meme cannot detect it. Therefore, we do not consider it a biological organism or a weird thing, but classify it as a very special 'toxin'."

"Is this toxin contagious?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Yes, it can be transmitted through air, liquid or direct contact." Yuri gave an affirmative answer, "But this toxin is too potent. The poisoned person will die in a very short time. In the absence of 'nutrients', the toxin will lose its activity in the natural environment in just one hour... As long as the 'scarlet spores' do not spread, it is difficult for the spore toxin alone to spread on a large scale."

"But didn't you say before that this thing can't be used as a weapon?" Sun Hang asked again, "Why don't you use the spores and make the extracted toxin into a weapon instead?"

"The toxin is difficult to preserve. No matter what means we use, the extracted toxin cannot be preserved for more than an hour...so it is difficult to make it into a weapon."

As soon as Yuri finished speaking, a sealed test tube slid out from a pipe equipped with a lot of protective measures and fell accurately into the rubber sleeve below.

The liquid inside the test tube is clear and transparent, and looks like clear water.

"This is the crimson spore toxin that has just been extracted. It has been diluted four million times, but it can still kill any creature we know." Yuri said.

The multifunctional medical robot removed the metal cap on the test tube, inserted the needle of a syringe into it, and after extracting exactly one milliliter of liquid, the robot's mechanical arm holding the syringe turned around and pointed the needle at Sun Hang's right arm, which had already rolled up its sleeves.

"Prepare for the injection." Yuri reminded in a low voice. From his voice, it can be heard that he seemed to have held his breath at this moment.

The needle slowly approached, and accompanied by a slight stinging pain like a mosquito bite, the sharpest part of the front end of the needle slightly pierced Sun Hang's skin.

The piston pushed, and under the precise control of the robot, one tenth of the liquid in the syringe was pushed into Sun Hang's skin.

A shallow swelling appeared.

Three seconds passed.

Thirty seconds passed.

Five minutes passed.

Thirty minutes passed.

The liquid injected into the skin has been completely absorbed, and the swollen area has returned to normal, but Sun Hang did not feel any discomfort, and none of the large number of detection instruments connected to the medical robot sounded an alarm.

"VIP's physical signs are all normal!"

"Memetic frequencies are normal, no changes!"

"No poisoning reaction was detected... The toxin disappeared immediately after entering the VIP's body!"

The reports from his subordinates one after another made Yuri fall into deep self-doubt - although before the skin test began, he had a hunch that Sun Hang might really be immune to the scarlet spore toxin, but when the facts were laid before him, he still had a strong sense of unreality.

"Everything is normal... This itself is the biggest abnormality." Staring at Sun Hang in the containment room, Yuri muttered to himself, "No, it's not me that is abnormal, not the scarlet spores, and not this world... He is abnormal, he seems to be..."

Yuri sighed, turned on the microphone, and said, "Good news, you seem to be... really immune to the scarlet spore toxin. For safety reasons, I suggest increasing the toxin concentration fourfold, diluting it one million times, and conducting another test..."

"Aren't you bored?" Sun Hang complained. "Just now it was diluted four million times, then one million times, what's next? Five hundred thousand? One hundred thousand? One thousand? One hundred times? How many times do you plan to test it?"

"For your safety, gradually reducing the dose is the safest approach."

"Just use the undiluted toxin and test it one last time. If everything is ok, take me there directly." Sun Hang said, "But I think, according to your description, there seems to be no difference between diluting it four million times and not diluting it."

"Ah?" Yuri was stunned.

"You said that this toxin will plunder the host cell's energy and nutrients like a virus and quickly replicate itself. So as long as the dose of toxin entering the body is not zero, it will replicate many times after a period of time... But up to now, you haven't detected the presence of toxin in my body. Doesn't that mean it can't replicate in my body? In this case, what is the difference between a toxin diluted four million times and an undiluted toxin?"

Yuri really wanted to say that it was possible that the toxin, which was diluted four million times, had died on its own before coming into contact with Sun Hang's cells...but he just couldn't bring himself to say this.

Because they had done an experiment before, with the same Crimson Spore toxin diluted four million times, and the same intradermal injection of 3.7 ml...but the experimental subject was changed to a hippopotamus weighing tons...

After receiving the injection, the hippopotamus only lasted 415 seconds before completely turning into a pool of blood.
