Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 384 Safe House

That’s right, but something seems wrong.

Is that right? Is that wrong?

Is the Holy Lord really from Chimera 17? If so, why did it contact Shasa in a dream at that time and lay this backhand?

Could it be that Chimera No. 17 was targeting Sun Hang from the very beginning?

Isn't this right?

It can't be to avenge Tai Sui, right? Ye Jiu had been dealing with strange creatures for so long, and he had never heard of a strange creature avenging another strange creature.

Ye Jiu felt as if there was a tangled ball of wool in his head. He had already grabbed the thread end that was sticking out, and as long as he pulled it gently, the whole ball of wool would be untangled... But he only realized now that when he pulled this thread end, the whole ball of wool became even more tangled.

It's even tied into a fucking knot.

Ye Jiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart... He'd better not take on this kind of work next time. It would be more suitable for him to be on the front line and kill monsters.

Just when Ye Jiu was thinking about how to continue asking questions, Song Yarong's voice suddenly rang out in the interrogation room.

"Shasha, do you know the 'Holy Ark'?"

"The Holy Ark?" Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, and a question subconsciously popped up in his mind: "What is the Holy Ark?"

He knew that Tianfu City was now implementing intelligence control, and apart from the parts that overlapped with each other's work, the various departments didn't know much about each other's work content. However, words like the Holy Ark, which had a strong religious flavor, were obviously related to cult organizations. Ye Jiu thought that he had read the files with the Tai Sui organization over and over again, but had never seen the word "Holy Ark" mentioned in any of the related documents.

Could it be something related to some other cult organization?
That's not right. This Shasa is a member of the Tai Sui organization. After the Tai Sui organization was destroyed by Sun Hang, she never joined any other cult organizations until that "holy lord" appeared in her dream...

How could she possibly know if you asked her about the Holy Ark...

As expected, in the face of Song Yarong's question, Shasha remained silent - it couldn't be said to be exactly the same as what Ye Jiu had expected, but it could be said to be no different.

"Are you sure she will answer all the questions she knows the answers to?" Song Yarong asked again.

Obviously, this time she was not asking Shasa or Ye Jiu, but the interrogation expert beside them.

"Confirmed." The interrogation expert glanced at the monitor screen. "All parameters are normal. She is under the complete control of Bing Wu Jiu Wu. In this state, she will tell you everything she knows."

After saying that, the interrogation expert dragged the progress bar of the interrogation video back a little bit - when Song Yarong asked the question related to the "Holy Ark", Shasha's facial expression did not change at all.

But then again, the five senses and seven orifices are all filled with the tentacles of the monster like tubes. Even if you want to change it, it will probably be difficult...

"There is no change in her brain waves, which means that even if her self-consciousness is in a 'dormant' state, she will not react at all after hearing this question." The interrogation expert shrugged, "She probably really doesn't know what the 'Holy Ark' is."

"Okay...Shasa, do you know Wen Ya and Yao Yu?"

Sasa remained silent.

"Can we ask her to answer questions based on the content of the picture?" Song Yarong asked.

"can."

The interrogation expert pressed a few buttons on the screen, and several robotic arms stretched out towards Bingwujiuwu. The next second, the front end of the robotic arms suddenly released several weak electric arcs, hitting the surface of Bingwujiuwu's body.

Bingwujiuwu's body twitched, and soon, the soft part covering Sasha's eyes flipped up, and eight slender tentacles lifted up her eyelids, revealing two bloodshot eyeballs.

"That'll be fine?"

"Yes."

Accompanied by the sound of friction on the rails, the projector hanging on the ceiling of the interrogation room moved in front of Shasa and projected the two photos onto the isolation window that was completely opaque when viewed from this side of the interrogation room.

The people in the photo are none other than the second-level hunter "Wen Ya" who was killed by Sun Hang not long ago, and his direct supervisor Yao Yu.

"Do you know the two people in the photo?" Song Yarong asked Shasa.

Still no response.

"It seems that she really doesn't know... Wait, isn't this guy 'Warm Pressure'? What's wrong with him?" Ye Jiu said in astonishment.

"He's dead." Song Yarong suddenly switched the communication channel, switching the public channel that could be heard in the interrogation room and the preparation room to a one-on-one private chat channel between her and Ye Jiu.

"What? Dead?" Ye Jiu's eyes widened. "Isn't this guy a quasi-first-level hunter? How could he die so easily? Who killed him? Chimera No. 17?"

"It's Sun Hang."

"Oh, that's fine...wait wait! Sun Hang killed Wen Ya? Why did Sun Hang kill Wen Ya? Is he crazy? Is he out of control? Or..."

"Don't get excited. There's nothing wrong with Sun Hang. The problem lies with these two people."

"Are they... members of a cult?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but gasp.

"That's right. Sun Hang accidentally discovered their secret. Wen Ya tried to kill Sun Hang to silence him but was killed instead. Yao Yu fled the scene immediately and is still being hunted down." Song Yarong said, "Originally, I still had some doubts about Sun Hang's statement, but Yao Yu's behavior completely dispelled my doubts... The reason why I urged you to interrogate Shasa was to confirm whether Shasa had any connection with the two of them."

"What about now? Is it confirmed?"

"It's hard to say... As a chess piece, Shasha's level is too low." Song Yarong sighed, "Ye Jiu, I need you to find out the true identity of the 'Holy Lord'... I will handle Yao Yu's affairs, I'll leave this to you."

"Who is the Holy Lord? Isn't it Chimera 17?" Ye Jiu asked doubtfully, "Apart from Chimera 17, who else can command so many strange creatures to cooperate with this guy to attack Sun Hang..."

Ye Jiu actually wanted to say that he should not be assigned this kind of interrogation work, as he was really not good at this kind of thing... But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"In fact, if you review the whole thing carefully, you will find that if Chimera is replaced by any powerful cult organization, it can complete this attack." Song Yarong said, "Poisoning the tap water source is also something that humans can do. As for those people who have been infected by the meme and become weird, they don't actually need to be driven. They will look for living people around them on their own... The only two living people in that area are Sun Hang and Yang Lian. Of course, they will think of gathering at the villa..."

"But...but but but there is one thing that doesn't make sense!" Ye Jiu argued, "According to Shasa's confession, the way she communicated with that 'Holy Lord' was through 'dreams'. I don't think humans can dream with other humans, right?"

"What if this evil cult possesses something that can affect people's dreams?" "Now that you put it that way... it does make some sense..."

"Okay, then you continue to interrogate her. I have other things to deal with, so I'll hang up first."

……

Tianfu City Strange Thing Research Institute, inside the "safe house".

Song Yarong cut off the communication with Ye Jiu, looked at the words "NO SIGNAL" in the middle of the black screen, and rubbed her temple with her fingers tiredly.

"Would you like a drink?" Wang Xiyi, who was sitting at the table, handed over a can.

"Thank you." Song Yarong opened the ring with a snap, but she just sniffed it and pushed the can towards Wang Xiyi. "I don't drink, not when I'm working... Alcohol affects my logical thinking ability."

"It's really boring? What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Or carbonated drinks?" Wang Xiyi said it was boring, but in fact she smiled and pulled the can of wine over, tilted her head back and poured it into her mouth.

"Carbonated drinks, not sugar-free ones." Song Yarong glanced at the draft paper filled with writing next to the computer, "I need a little sugar... No, not just a little, I need a lot of sugar."

"Here." Wang Xiyi placed a can of Coke in front of her. "Director Yang, do you want one too?"

"I don't need it." On the other side of the table, Yang Qi was supporting her cheek with the back of her hand, staring at the flashing screen in front of her with her head tilted, her brows furrowed.

"I want it, I want it." Fukada Miki put down the game console, ran over, and started rummaging in the plastic bag that Wang Xiyi brought in.

According to Sun Hang's request, the movements of the three of them were restricted in this safe house, and only Wang Xiyi was allowed to leave the house temporarily. Therefore, the food, drinks, and other things they needed had to be brought in from outside by Wang Xiyi.

"This is just like being in jail!" Fukada Miki said unhappily. She pulled a can of beer from her bag. "That bastard Sun Hang promised me that he would let me observe Chimera No. 17 up close, but now there's not even a trace of him! I'm so pissed!"

"Minors are prohibited from drinking." Wang Xiyi snatched the beer can from Fukada Miki's hand and stuffed a bottle of kvass into her hand. "If you really want to drink, drink this."

"It's boring." Although Fukada Miki was not convinced, given the power gap between them, she had to accept the kvass that Wang Xiyi stuffed into her, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big gulp angrily.

Then she choked.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Are you okay? Can I give you a pat?" Wang Xiyi asked.

"Don't... cough cough cough... I was fine... but after you hit me, something must have happened! Cough cough cough!" Fukada Miki waved her hands repeatedly.

On the first day she was "locked" in the safe house, she had already experienced the power of this humanoid black dragon - just like many times in the past, when Yang Qi and Song Yarong were not paying attention and Wang Xiyi went out to get food, she tried to sneak out alone. As a result, before she left the floor where the safe house was located, Wang Xiyi turned back and carried her back to the safe house like a chicken.

"Speaking of which, Lao Wang." Song Yarong also called Lao Wang like Sun Hang, "That Wen Ya, have you ever dealt with him?"

"Have you dealt with them?"

"Well, I mean, have you ever fought him?"

"It happened once in Chunming City." Wang Xiyi said, "At that time, he was only a fourth-level hunter, just like me."

"The results of it?"

"We were both asked to use only 30% of our strength, and there was no result." Wang Xiyi shrugged and pulled out a huge pistol leg from a plastic lunch box, "Draw."

"Have you seen the video of the fight between Sun Hang and Wen Ya? What do you think of Sun Hang's current strength?" Song Yarong asked again.

"There is one thing you may not know," Wang Xiyi showed a mysterious smile, "Wen Ya is not the most powerful hunter Sun Hang has ever fought."

"Then who else?" Song Yarong was slightly stunned.

She has studied all of Sun Hang's battle records. In a battle where his opponents are also hunters, Wen Ya should be considered the highest-level opponent... If he is stronger than Wen Ya, then he can only be a genuine first-level hunter.

"Sun Hang and Tiebi fought each other right in front of me." Yang Qi said expressionlessly on the other side of the table.

"Iron wall? When?!" Song Yarong's eyes widened.

"Just before Sun Hang went to Tianshu Tower to meet Master Pei for the first time."

"Then... who won?" Song Yarong swallowed with some effort, "Uh, I... I actually want to ask, how long did Sun Hang last under Tiebi's hands?"

"Three minutes." Yang Qi replied.

"Huh...it's okay." Song Yarong breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was surprised, at least this result was within her cognition.

"The ending is a draw." Yang Qi said again.

"What the hell? What did you say?" Song Yarong's neck froze for a moment. "You said Sun Hang and Tiebi fought to a draw?"

"Because the three-minute time limit was set by Pei Lao, they didn't keep fighting. But in the second half of the battle, Sun Hang had already completely suppressed the iron wall..." Yang Qi picked up her water cup and took a sip. "Although I don't want to believe it, my intuition tells me that if the fight continues, the final winner will most likely be Sun Hang."

"Doesn't that mean Sun Hang's strength can enter the top ten of the hunter rankings?"

"Does the ranking have any meaning?" Wang Xiyi glanced at her. "Only those boring people would care about this kind of ranking... Not to mention, the current ranking list hasn't been updated for many years."

"That's true..." Song Yarong said angrily, "But I still feel surprised... A new hunter who just joined the job can suddenly rise to the top ten of the rankings... It sounds like a dream."

"The Taotie meme is like this, its growth and plasticity are too strong." Yang Qi nodded, "Otherwise, Mr. Pei would not have specially gone to meet him."

"What did Sun Hang talk about with Mr. Pei that time?" Song Yarong was very curious.

"I don't know either." Yang Qi shook her head. "I only know that this guy seems to be very disrespectful to Mr. Pei."
