Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 41 Exclusive Weapons
As Sun Hang described, the female researcher's only remaining eye widened, her face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy, and the capacitive stylus in her hand recorded rapidly on the tablet.

Even Yang Lian showed a look of astonishment, and asked in a low voice: "Did you create that thing?"

"Is this... your 'ability'? Although it may be presumptuous, I still want to ask..."

Before the female researcher finished speaking, Sun Hang interrupted her: "You should understand the rules of the institute, right?"

"Oh, sorry!" The female researcher was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, looked around vigilantly, glanced at her colleagues who were busy in the distance, added a password to the record file at a very fast speed, and then put away the tablet.

"Can I leave now?" Sun Hang wiped his fingers stained with potato chip crumbs on the corner of his clothes and asked.

"Of course! We have no right to restrict the freedom of hunters." The female researcher said, "But please keep the communication open at any time in the next 72 hours. Because of the special nature of this artifact-type strange object, the director is likely to come to talk to you in person."

……

Sun Hang held a large bag of snacks given to him by the female researcher and ate as he walked. He walked for more than ten minutes before he finally got a taxi on the roadside.

But when he got in the car and the driver asked him where he was going, Sun Hang was stunned.

He suddenly realized that he had no idea what the villa complex assigned to the monster hunters was called, and he didn't even know which district or road it was on.

Sun Hang thought for a long time, and finally had to ask his master to take him to the Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute - Yang Qi's SUV was parked there, and his home address should still be stored in the car's navigation system.

"You're amazing! You look so young, but you actually work in a research institute!" the taxi driver exclaimed. "By the way, what was that loud rumbling noise just now? It sounded like a building collapsed. I could feel the ground shaking from two or three miles away."

"Yes, two buildings collapsed." Sun Hang nodded.

"Is it demolition? No, that's not right. The clothes you're wearing and the dust on your head... you couldn't have come from there, did you?" the driver asked in surprise.

"Master, you have good eyesight." Sun Hang gave a thumbs up.

"Could it be... a mess caused by a weird creature?"

Sun Hang nodded - this matter will definitely be on the headlines tomorrow. With such a big commotion, the management committee cannot hide it even if they want to. Instead of letting various versions of rumors spread around the city, it is better to tell the people the truth openly - anyway, the cult organization and the monsters they raised have been wiped out, and no wider damage has been caused, so naturally there won't be too much bad public opinion.

“This is terrible... It seems I have to avoid that place in the future.” The driver said repeatedly.

However, compared to the ordinary people in the "mainland" who are terrified by the mention of ghosts, the people in border areas like Tianfu City have a much stronger psychological endurance... For the people living here, even if attacks by ghosts are not commonplace, they are at least not surprising.

"It's not a big problem. The evil creatures that caused trouble have been eliminated..." Sun Hang was speaking halfway when his cell phone suddenly rang. He opened the screen and saw a message from Yang Qi.

"I just received a notice. Did you wipe out a cult organization in Chenghua District? And also eliminated the strange creature 'Taisui' they raised? Why didn't you inform me immediately?" The words in Yang Qi's message were filled with a reproachful tone, which gave Sun Hang a headache.

As Sun Hang's direct supervisor, she had the priority right to know about all of Sun Hang's actions - Yang Qi was notified as soon as the one-eyed female researcher uploaded the report to the institute.

"I thought your sister had already told you..." Sun Hang thought about it and decided to put the blame on the older cold-blooded woman who always had a stern face and had not been promoted in seven years of work.

"You know my sister's personality... She won't say a word unless it's necessary. I've read the detailed on-site report. You weren't injured in the battle, were you?"

"No." Sun Hang thought for a moment. A wound that healed immediately probably couldn't be considered an injury. "It's just that the knife is a bit troublesome. I don't know how I conjured it, and I don't know how it turned into a weird thing..."

"I already know about the situation of the knife. According to my judgment, the Taotie that infected you probably devoured a strange creature with the ability to manipulate metal before, and in the process of infecting you, it also gave you this ability... Because you are the first recorded Taotie infected person, I am not sure what kind of ability you will have. As for the knife turning into a strange creature, it is nothing more than that possibility - it was infected by 'Tai Sui', or, it was 'infected' by you."

"Can a monster hunter infect ordinary things into monsters?" Sun Hang was stunned for a moment, and immediately sent a message, "Then people like us are not very dangerous?"

"The probability of infection without subjective will is extremely low, almost zero. But you used your ability to 'create' that knife. It is possible that part of the strange virus was copied in the process. I just realized that you asked me about the conditions for the generation of artifact-type strange things because of this?"

"Yes." Sun Hang answered honestly.

"Since this artifact-type strange thing was made by you, the situation is completely different. You can apply for it to be your 'exclusive weapon'... But as far as I know, the thing is fifteen meters long and weighs more than eight tons. It 'does' not seem' suitable for carrying around."

"But it's quite easy for me to use, and it doesn't feel that heavy."

"The main problem is the size... How about this, I'll try to get you a transport drone. Normally, this thing is kept in the storage facility of the institute. When you need it, the drone can be airdropped to your location... It's more convenient than carrying such a big thing with you."

Sun Hang thought about it and replied with an “OK” emoji.

A few seconds later, Yang Qi sent another message: "I just got news from the institute that the serial number of that thing has been released - '己二七九六'. As for the name, as its creator, you have the priority right to name it."

"Two thousand and seven hundred and ninety-six? Have the numbers of artifact-type monsters already reached over two thousand?" Sun Hang was a little surprised.

“There are more temporary numbers and old numbers that have been deleted or replaced.”

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious, how did the institute determine the original primary weird thing of No. 0? Is it based on strength?"

"Based on the frequency of the meme. For example, if the meme of each weird thing is colorful, then the meme of the original primary weird thing is the three primary colors of red, green and blue (Note 1). These three colors can be mixed in different proportions to present any other color. If I put it this way, do you understand?"

[Note 1: The three primary colors used here are the definition of "three primary colors of light (RGB)", not the "three primary colors of pigments (red, yellow, and blue)" in the field of art]
