Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 371 The Disappearing Videotape
Just when Sun Hang wanted to take a final look at the remains of these strange creatures, he unexpectedly discovered that the remains were gradually fading and becoming transparent... and finally completely disappeared from his sight.

This is not a normal phenomenon in the process of the strange object dissipating. This situation can only mean one thing - the pause of the videotape has been canceled!
"Not good!" Sun Hang immediately ran towards the exit of the computer room. The scavenger girl was frightened by him and hurriedly followed Sun Hang.

Before she could ask Sun Hang why he was running, several silver-white arcs of electricity flashed around Sun Hang, and then he disappeared from the spot.

……

Underground commercial street, first floor, audio-visual store.

Sun Hang felt a little unhappy when he saw the opened player and the missing videotape.

Obviously, after he got rid of the monster in the underground computer room, someone took the videotape away.

Not only that, the guy who took the videotape didn't even leave any traces at the scene. Sun Hang carefully checked the player and found only his own fingerprints and that of the scavenger who had been transformed.

There were no new footprints on the ground, and even the thickness of the dust around and the traces of being rubbed off were exactly the same as Sun Hang's original memory.

"The person who took the videotape... shouldn't be a human, right?" Sun Hang pondered. He tried to use his ability to make his wishes come true to recreate what happened in the video store a few minutes ago, but this time, the ability did not work.

In other words, the images it restores are not what actually happened in the video store - the paused picture suddenly goes out, and then the card slot of the player gently pops open, revealing nothing inside.

The videotape never appeared in the picture from beginning to end.

"It can't be that he just disappeared from the face of the earth, right?"

Sun Hang stood there thinking for nearly five minutes before the scavenger girl ran to the video store panting.

"What...what happened?"

"The videotape is missing." said Sun Hang.

"How could it be... Could it be... someone just came in?"

"It doesn't look like it was done by humans." Sun Hang shook his head. "I'm more inclined to believe that it was done by a spooky creature."

"A strange creature? If it was a strange creature, wouldn't you be able to sense its aura or something like that...?"

"The other party used the power of the videotape to erase his own existence." Sun Hang sighed, "It is completely impossible to track him."

"what?"

"Forget it, let's go." Sun Hang checked the TV and the player one last time, then walked outside. "Don't tell the people in the institute about the strange thing on the videotape. If anyone asks about it, just tell them to come to me."

The scavenger girl nodded immediately.

...When the two walked to the exit of the shopping mall, the team sent by the research institute had already been waiting on the roadside. Several fully armed field operators were standing guard with guns in hand. A familiar figure was standing next to the car and waved towards Sun Hang.

The team is led by Jiang Yu. Although she does not have enough practical experience, as Tianfu City is currently short of manpower, Jiang Yu, as a monster hunter, has to force herself to grow up quickly and become a capable person.

Yang Qi sent her to lead the team to carry out this less dangerous mission, probably with the purpose of training her.

"Her ears were attacked by the monster's sound waves, and she is temporarily deaf." Sun Hang pointed at the scavenger girl next to him, "I gave her a rough check and found that she only had organic damage. With the medical conditions at the institute, she should be able to be cured... She also assisted me in the operation just now. If she has any requests, as long as they are not too excessive, I will try my best to satisfy her."

"Okay...what about you?" Jiang Yu nodded, "You really won't go back with us?"

"No, I still have some things to deal with. I have already talked to Director Yang about it." Sun Hang said, "By the way, how is Yang Lian doing?"

"It's hard to say... After she was taken to the institute, she locked herself in a room and refused to communicate with anyone. Even when Yang Qi went to talk to her, she remained silent." Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with worry. "What on earth happened to her?"

"If you run over and kill hundreds of people in one go, you'll probably need some time to recover," Sun Hang said. "Even if those people have turned into monsters, at least from the outside, they don't look much different from ordinary people."

Jiang Yu tried to imagine the scene, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"By the way, did that psychic ask anything?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "She has been handed over to a professional interrogation team, but there was no news from there before I left."

"Okay, that's it." Sun Hang said, "I'll leave this girl to you. If she's willing, I think we can recruit her to join the field department... She's a little timid, but she's capable."

Sun Hang was not deliberately praising her with this sentence. Considering the age of this scavenger girl, she was able to survive alone in the Tianfu City shrouded in eternal night for such a long period of time. This was enough to give us a glimpse of her ability.

Unlike the citizens who live in high-rise buildings and receive relief supplies from the government, the living environment of these scavengers is closer to the natural world where the strong prey on the weak - "cannibalism" has never been an exaggerated rhetoric.

"Okay." Jiang Yu replied.

After watching the convoy leave, Sun Hang opened the navigation on his phone and entered the name of a real estate project.

The name of this building was told to Sun Hang by the scavenger girl. It was a commercial residential area that was under construction and the main structure was almost completed. However, the arrival of the eternal night, coupled with the plummeting housing prices in Tianfu City, caused the developer of this building to declare bankruptcy directly, and the building naturally fell into an indefinite suspension state.

Not long after the eternal night fell, this place became a gathering place for homeless people, scavengers and some gang organizations.

Although it is an unfinished building, the location of this property is not very remote. It is less than 15 kilometers away from the most prosperous commercial area in the city center, and the transportation is also very convenient. From a distance, Sun Hang saw many cars parked on the road outside the construction site. These cars all have one characteristic, that is, the windows are most likely smashed, and all kinds of symbols and graffiti with special meanings are written on the body of the car with spray paint and markers.

There is no doubt that all these cars were stolen.
