Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 362: The rebellious mutant?
Sun Hang instantly used the electromagnetic field to achieve explosive acceleration and drilled out from the gap before the film completely closed.

"Click——"

At the moment Sun Hang stood still, a huge sphere closed and then quickly retracted.

Hundreds of spikes pierced through the sphere - if Sun Hang hadn't escaped before the sphere closed, his body would have been pierced.

"Are you okay?" Yang Lian asked hurriedly.

"It's okay... To be honest, this guy is a bit tricky." Sun Hang glanced at the car parked at the door - he came back on a shared bicycle, Yang Qi's SUV was still parked in the institute's garage, and this silver-gray car was Yang Lian's own car.

"Have you got the car keys?" Sun Hang asked.

"No...but my car can be unlocked by voice control." Yang Lian said.

"Get in the car and go to the research institute." Sun Hang said.

"how about you?"

"I have to kill this guy, right?" Sun Hang handed his large-caliber hunting pistol to Yang Lian. "This thing is more powerful than yours, but be careful when using it. You have thin arms and legs. Don't break your wrist."

"Why don't you come with me? Let's lead this monster to the research institute so that more people can deal with it together!" Yang Lian suggested.

"You are too naive... You don't think this guy will let the two of us go?"

"But its movement speed doesn't seem to be that fast... just now..."

"Just now it was afraid of being discovered by me. Didn't you notice that after its sneak attack on you failed, its speed increased a lot? If I hadn't gotten some useful abilities at the Tianshu Tower this time, I would have been wrapped up in that stinky mud just now." Sun Hang spoke faster, "Even if it can't catch up with the car, what if it gives up chasing us and runs to the residential area to kill people? Guess how many people will die?"

"I……"

"Stop talking nonsense and get in the car." Sun Hang said, "I can't do anything with you here."

Yang Lian gritted his teeth, then turned his head sharply and ran towards his car.

"This girl is really stubborn... The two sisters are very similar in this respect." Sun Hang muttered softly and turned his attention back to the "weird creature" that had turned back into a pool of mud.

It is not entirely correct to say that this pool of mud is a strange thing - because Sun Hang could not sense any strange aura from it.

It was for this reason that it almost succeeded in its sneak attack just now.

"It doesn't look like it has the ability to conceal its aura... The abilities of Taotie and Crimson Spore are completely ineffective against it, which means this thing is neither a weird creature nor a living creature..." Sun Hang pondered, "Could it be that this thing is really just a pool of mud? And the real attacker is some weird creature hiding in the dark and manipulating this pool of mud?"

Just as Sun Hang was thinking about how to follow the clues to find the manipulator in the dark, Yang Lian, who had just driven away, actually slowly backed up.

At both ends of the street, many infected people with lifeless eyes rushed in - or, transformed people, they blocked all the passages in front, behind, left and right. At this time, Yang Lian was like the survivors in those doomsday movies who were blocked at the intersection by countless zombies.

“Sun Hang!” Yang Lian lowered the car window and shouted anxiously, “I… I can’t leave!”

"Raise the car window!" said Sun Hang.

"But, but..."

"Stop talking so much nonsense, just get promoted if I tell you to!" Sun Hang said in a low voice.

Yang Lian pursed her lips tightly and closed the car window again.

The next second, a stream of liquid metal crawled onto the car like a winding python, and quickly turned into a thin layer of transparent metal film, wrapping the entire car. Even the outside of the tires and the transmission parts were covered with a layer of metal film.

"Step on the accelerator and crash out! These people have turned into monsters. Killing them doesn't count as murder!" Sun Hang shouted, "If we can get to the research institute, let the people there use a laser cutter to cut open this layer of metal film. If we break down or are completely blocked, we'll just stay where we are and wait for rescue!"

“Step on the accelerator to the limit?” Yang Lian glanced at the crowd of people who were already very close... the group of strange creatures, took a deep breath, and then slapped himself hard.

The burning pain on her face made her feel ruthless. She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!

The buses allocated by the Abnormal Investigation Bureau can only be used when on missions. Yang Lian's car was a birthday gift from her father and mother on her 25th birthday - otherwise, with Yang Lian's own salary, even if she saved up all the salary since graduation, she would not be able to buy this luxury car worth more than 1.3 million yuan.

Although the Yang sisters never mentioned their family background to Sun Hang, judging from their food, clothing and other expenses, the Yang family should be quite well-off... I just don't know how Yang's father and mother would feel when they knew that their beloved little daughter was "ruined" by an infected person.

The engine roared dully, and the streamlined front of the car was like a shovel, directly shoveling away several of the closest transformed beings - these transformed beings flew directly into the air, and then fell heavily on the hood and front windshield, and all kinds of blood plasma, minced meat and filth immediately covered a large area.

Yang Lian started the windshield wipers with a stiff expression. She glanced at the rearview mirror with the corner of her eye, wanting to see what was happening to Sun Hang. However, several transformed beings had already climbed onto the car body from behind, completely blocking the view of the rearview mirror.

"Go to hell! All of you, go to hell!" Yang Lian growled, and with a tailspin he knocked away another group of monsters, and at the same time threw out those monsters who had climbed onto the car.

In just a few seconds, the car had rushed hundreds of meters away and arrived at the nearest intersection - but even here, there were still many transformed people pouring out of the nearby buildings, stumbling towards Yang Lian like zombies.

"How come even the residents here... Could this also be done by Chimera 17?"

Yang Lian glanced in the direction of the villa, turned the car around and drove towards the research institute.

"Don't die..."

……

……

Sun Hang hooked his finger, and the street lamps on both sides of the street "melted" and turned into hundreds of metal blades floating around him. The mud "slowly" crawled out of the house - or in other words, "flowed" onto the lawn outside the house. Something slowly stood up in the mud, and as the appearance of this thing changed several times, it finally turned into a shape that looked like a human but not a human.

Sun Hang could vaguely tell that the other party seemed to want to imitate his appearance, but unfortunately the plasticity of the silt was too poor, and the precision of the clay figure made was a mess, not to mention details such as facial features and hair. Even the bathrobe wrapped around Sun Hang took Sun Hang a long time to figure out.

The only thing that is similar is probably their height.

"Your approach won't work. Watch me." Sun Hang frowned and shook his head. Then two mycelium puppets stood up beside him. Compared with the abstract mimicry clay figures, the two mycelium puppets' imitations of the original body were very lifelike. Except for their somewhat dull eyes, there was almost no difference between them and the original body.

"go with!"

At Sun Hang's command, two mycelium puppets immediately rushed towards the clay man from two directions. At the same time, hundreds of metal flying blades also flew out close to the lawn and arrived in front of the clay man in the blink of an eye.

The metal flying blades launched the first wave of attacks. They penetrated the clay man's body without any hindrance, drilled out from behind the clay man, turned around and shot through the clay man again - before the two mycelium puppets touched the clay man, these hundreds of metal flying blades had already pierced the clay man back and forth more than a dozen times.

If it were not silt, but some other hard material, the clay figure would probably have turned into a sieve with dense small holes by now.

The result was just as Sun Hang had thought. Although the attack of the metal flying blade seemed fierce, it actually had no effect at all - it was like poking a flowing stream with a knife. Stabbing it ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times would not produce any effect.

In other words, there is no point in doing so.

The two mycelium puppets grabbed the clay man's arms, one on the left and one on the right, but the clay man's arms instantly deformed and turned into the same film form that had attacked Sun Hang before, and then wrapped around the mycelium puppets - and under Sun Hang's control, the mycelium puppet's hands turned back into mycelium form and drilled into the clay man's body.

There is nothing, only mud inside the clay man's body.

There is no entity, no core, and no meme of the monster.

That monster possesses the ability to control objects... and it is an extremely pure ability to control objects.

This ability is different from Sun Hang's ability to control metals. When Sun Hang controls metals, he will transform those metal materials into strange objects, thus creating a new kind of artifact-like strange objects. Although the duration of this strange state is not permanent, as long as Sun Hang is willing, he can turn these artifact-like strange objects back to ordinary objects at any time... But at least when he manipulates these things, they must be in a strange state.

The changes in soil and rocks, the soundproof barrier controlled by Sun Hang... and even the disguise technique used on Miki Fukada, were all achieved by utilizing the power of memes. If Miki Fukada were to undergo a detailed examination now, it would be possible to detect the small amount of memes she carries.

Of course, Sun Hang did not turn her into an infected person, but only used the power of memes to change her physical appearance. When the small amount of memes attached to Miki Fukada completely dissipated, she would return to her original appearance.

If a monster wants to use its abilities, memes are necessary media... Therefore, to determine whether certain incidents are caused by a monster, one only needs to check whether there are any remaining traces of memes at the scene. Except for a few "ephemeral monsters", most monsters will leave traces as long as they use their abilities.

Unless these monsters have the same IQ as humans and know how to erase the remaining traces after "committing a crime"... based on the information currently known, such monsters are even rarer than short-lived monsters.

But traces are traces. If the monster is "committing a crime" and is using its own abilities, it is almost impossible to completely cover up its own memetic fluctuations... especially in front of an infected person like Sun Hang who is extremely sensitive to memetic fluctuations.

"No... it's not a weird thing..."

Sun Hang was startled.

He suddenly thought of Zhong Ling.

It's not a monster that controls this pool of mud, or to be more precise, the guy who controls this pool of mud is not using the power of a monster!

It's a superpower!
"A superpower who is hostile to humans?" Sun Hang's mind turned rapidly. "Did he betray or was he controlled? Will the superpower be transformed? Will the original ability of the superpower after the transformation conflict with the memetic ability obtained after the transformation?"

Sun Hang really wanted to ask Pei Zongjun these questions, but unfortunately, neither his mobile phone nor his hunter bracelet had any signal. The only way was to use electromagnetic acceleration to leave the interference area and then communicate.

But he didn't want to let the mutant hiding in the dark go so easily.

There is a saying that goes, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it..." If you are targeted by such an enemy, you will probably have no peace in the future.

Sun Hang couldn't possibly be having intense sex with the girl while always paying attention to whether there were any unusual noises coming from under the bed or from the faucet, right?

He didn't like this kind of life where he had to be on guard against something all the time, so anything threatening had to be eliminated as quickly as possible.

"The abilities of a superpower should be limited by distance... At least Zhong Ling cannot remotely control her strange corpses... Except for 'her mother' who has the ability to act independently."

In addition to those ghosts that can share vision with Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling even needs the ghosts to be within his own visual range before he can control them.

This pool of mud has no eyes.

While Sun Hang was using the mycelium puppet to pull at the pool of mud, he glanced around with the corner of his eye, trying to find any hidden hiding place nearby.

But I have to say, there are too many hiding places on this street.

Let’s not talk about the villa area for now, just the community across the street, those high-rise buildings, hundreds of main houses and thousands of rooms... Every one of them can become a hiding place for that psychic.

He didn't even need to look directly at the battlefield on Sun Hang's side. A few mirrors or an inconspicuous surveillance camera could provide the other party with a complete view.

"No...it's still not right."

Just now in his own house, the other party was still able to manipulate the mud and even launched a sneak attack on Yang Lian from a very tricky angle... That must be a place where he can see the situation inside the house through the window.

Sun Hang glanced at the window of the villa and then at the high-rise building across the street - the search range was narrowed a lot at once.

Of course, the premise is that the opponent cannot gain vision through this mud, or has some kind of perception ability that can replace vision.
