Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 439 "Small World"

"I have a question," Sun Hang suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

The characters on the glass curtain wall flashed a few times, but no new text appeared.

"Are you Chimera No. 17?" Sun Hang asked again.

There were more mottled blocks of color on the glass curtain wall, but the other party still did not give a clear response.

"Do you know Anna?" Sun Hang asked tentatively, "Anna Dimoshchina."

It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but once Anna's name was mentioned, it seemed as if some key mechanism was triggered. The passers-by on the street who had originally ignored Sun Hang suddenly stopped. They turned their heads and stared at Sun Hang with their dark eyes without whites.

"Are you anxious?" Sun Hang asked in a tone of sarcasm, "You seem to be very sensitive about this name?"

As soon as he finished speaking, creatures that looked like humans but were not humans all over the street rushed towards Sun Hang, giving people a feeling similar to the scene at Shibuya Crossing in the movie "Resident Evil 4".

However, Sun Hang is not the heroine in the movie who only has two small pistols.

Thanks to Anna's previous reminder, Sun Hang tried to use his ability as soon as he arrived at this place - the ability was not sealed, that is to say, even if this was an illusion, it was not a special illusion that separated Sun Hang's consciousness and body.

A silver thread thinner than a hair was drawn out from Sun Hang's fingertips, and then, the silver thread instantly extended into the distance - Sun Hang turned around very casually, and the silver thread, which was hundreds of meters long, drew a circle with a radius of hundreds of meters on the street with him as the center.

The creatures within this circular range paused for a moment, and the next second their upper and lower bodies were separated.

The lower body was still running forward with its remaining momentum, but the upper body had already fallen to the ground. The carbonized incision on the waist was as smooth as a mirror, and looked like a cross-sectional image taken by CT... As for the blood in these organisms, it had been evaporated by the extremely high temperature the moment the silver line swept past.

More humanoid creatures rushed towards Sun Hang, and Sun Hang just pulled the silver wire and kept making that simple circle-drawing action. In just a few minutes, the streets less than one kilometer long were filled with body parts that were cut into two pieces.

The commercial street that was bustling with people not long ago now seems to have turned into an assembly line in a meat processing factory. The road painted with white markings is the conveyor belt on the assembly line, and Sun Hang, who is drawing circles with a silver wire in the middle of the road, is the emotionless meat-cutting machine.

"You see, you have no mercy on humans."

New problems emerged on the glass curtain wall.

"You have no hesitation in killing humans because you never considered them as your own kind in the first place."

It seemed that all the "people" on the entire street had been killed by Sun Hang, and no more people were pouring out from the distance. Standing among the corpses, Sun Hang looked up at the words on the glass curtain wall and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Is this the legendary "shoot the arrow first and then draw the target?" Sun Hang laughed, "You don't think that I would mistake these zombie-like things for humans? I don't know whether you are insulting my IQ or your own IQ by typing this... or is it that, as a weird creature, your brain is less intelligent than that of humans from the beginning?"

Sun Hang paused, then intensified his mockery: "Or do you have no brains at all?"

"They are human beings." New words appeared on the glass curtain wall.

Sun Hang looked down.

A severed upper body rolled to his feet. It was a young woman between 25 and 30 years old. She was wearing a dress that Sun Hang couldn't tell the brand of but he could tell with his heels that it was very expensive. Her face was delicately made up, and her long dark brown hair was tied into a high bun at the back of her head, revealing her swan-like white neck. On this sexy neck hung a dazzling diamond necklace.

It was a pity that the fur cape on her shoulders fell off when she fell, revealing a series of unsightly kiss marks on her collarbone.

Her eyes were wide open, which completely fit the description of "dying with eyes open" - but her eyes were completely normal, not the pitch black that Sun Hang had seen before.

Her pupils were completely dilated and her lips, painted with red lipstick, were slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something.

But she couldn't speak anymore.

"They are all human beings." The glass curtain wall "said" to Sun Hang, "living humans, you killed them."

"Their emotions are real. You have just been exposed to those emotions... If you are not in a hurry to cut off the connection with those emotions, you can touch their memories and their lives through those emotions."

"Each of them is unique. They are not made up. Even the most advanced artificial intelligence in human society today cannot write something with such a huge amount of information and such rigorous logic in a short period of time..."

"You have actually glimpsed those fleeting memories."

"They have parents, children, and their own lovers..."

"You can see babies being born in the delivery room, you can see young men and women in suits and wedding gowns walking on the red carpet under the archway decorated with flowers, you can see..."

"So, what does this have to do with me?" Sun Hang couldn't help but sneer, "Even if they are real people, just looking at the way they looked just now, I have enough reason to kill them all."

He raised his right index finger towards the glass curtain wall and shook it left and right a few times: "Don't try to blackmail me morally."

Then, Sun Hang replaced his shaking index finger with a middle finger pointing straight up: "Because I have no morals at all."

"No." This time only two words were displayed on the glass curtain wall, which were concise and to the point.

However, this time Sun Hang did not give the other party a chance to continue speaking, but quickly hit back: "These people should be the ones you killed and devoured, right? I forgot to tell you that although I don’t have any advantages, I have a good memory... I happened to see this face on your cocoon shell."

Sun Hang pointed at the female corpse at his feet and continued, "At that time, I was thinking that it was a pity that such a beautiful woman had become a traitor... So, I just killed a bunch of dead people again, so what psychological burden could I have?"

"On the contrary, you," Sun Hang raised his head and looked at the glass curtain wall, "what you did was obviously more beastly than what I did, and you still have the nerve to use this to morally blackmail me? How thick is your fucking face?"

"From the beginning to the end, I never intended to use them to morally blackmail you."

"Do you know why they jumped on you?"

"why?"

"Because in their eyes, you are what they want most." The words on the glass curtain wall flashed quickly, "The biggest reason for those negative emotions that cover the sky and the sun is that humans can't get you."

"To me?" Sun Hang pointed at himself in surprise. "Ha, I didn't expect that I was so charming that I could attract men, women, old and young." "In the eyes of young boys who are in love, you are the nearly perfect lover; in the eyes of those who are greedy for material desires, you are the inexhaustible wealth; in the eyes of those who desire status and power, you are the scepter that symbolizes the highest position; in the eyes of people with terminal illnesses, you are the special medicine that can cure all diseases; and in the eyes of those who are thirsty for knowledge and truth, you become the answer to all the problems in this world... Their pain, confusion, resentment, sorrow, anxiety, anger... are all just because they can't have you."

The text on the glass curtain wall scrolled like the cast and crew list at the end of a movie, but at double the speed.

"It's too long, so I won't read it." Sun Hang said, "But I noticed that you didn't seem to refute what I just said. So it seems that the consciousness that is communicating with me now is Chimera No. 17?"

"I don't like the code name humans gave me... It sounds like an insignificant defective product."

"To be honest, I can't connect this code name with the word 'insignificant'." Sun Hang shrugged, "If you blow up, everyone in Tianfu City will be buried with you."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"good?"

“All living things… As long as they are alive, there can be no perfection, and any perfection will lead to dissatisfaction and become a breeding ground for negative emotions… Rather than living with incompleteness and regret, it is better to let all life return to death.”

The words on the glass curtain wall paused for a moment, and then disappeared, as if someone had erased all the words with an invisible blackboard eraser.

A sentence slowly emerged: "Death is the only perfect thing in the world."

"So, you are doing a good thing by blowing up Tianfu City?" Sun Hang asked.

"I just want to die."

"If you want to die, why don't you just find a corner and die quietly?" Sun Hang couldn't help but wonder, "Why make such a big fuss?"

“Sometimes, not being able to die completely is also a kind of pain.”

The colors displayed on the glass curtain wall suddenly changed from colorful to black and white: "And the culprit of this pain is you."

"Me?" Sun Hang was stunned. "It's none of my business!"

"...Have you really forgotten everything?"

"If you want to tell me something about me, I'm all ears." Sun Hang said immediately, while quickly scanning the surroundings to prevent a monkey-like thing from suddenly popping out of that corner.

But the next second, the projection on the glass curtain wall suddenly turned into long sections of garbled code, and at the same time, a noise with extremely manic emotions echoed above the street.

The corpses that were cut off by Sun Hang suddenly twisted their bodies, and they crawled around aimlessly... The remains of the beautiful woman that Sun Hang "felt sorry for" even crawled directly onto the instep of Sun Hang's feet, and was kicked dozens of meters away by Sun Hang.

"Tsk, what a pity." Anna's voice suddenly rang out in Sun Hang's headphones which had run out of battery.

"Are you awake?"

"I was awake the whole time."

"Then why didn't you make a sound when I called you?"

"Because I'm afraid of upsetting her," Anna replied. "Didn't you notice how she reacted so violently just by hearing my name? If I showed up directly, wouldn't she go crazy?"

"Then what do you mean by coming out now?"

"Because she's gone crazy now... I thought this transformation would allow her to stay sane for a longer period of time, but it only lasted for a short while." Anna said, "What a pity! I thought I could use her to tell you the things I couldn't say."

"What words?"

"If I tell you now, you will lose your lovely daughter, Mom."

"Aren't you immortal?"

"There are many things in this world that are more frightening than death," Anna said softly, "For her... for me, death is actually a gift, a mercy."

"Then can you tell me how to get rid of this illusion?" Sun Hang thought about it and decided to ask a more practical question.

"This is not an illusion." Anna's answer surprised Sun Hang.

"This is a real world, and what she just said is true...these creatures you killed are all living people."

"Then where is this place?"

“Tianfu City Qiuxi Road Pedestrian Street.”

"Bullshit."

"Okay, although I was just joking with mom...but this is indeed Qiuxi Road Pedestrian Street in Tianfu City. It just has the same name as the place mom was thinking of."

"Same name?"

"This is a world she created with her own abilities. She completely copied Qiuxi Road Pedestrian Street and everything around it. The humans she devoured were also 'reborn' in this world in a sense. If you've read some fantasy novels about cultivating immortals, you should have no difficulty understanding this concept. This is like the 'small world' cultivated in the bodies of those powerful people... Except that the space is a little smaller, it is no different from the 'big world' outside."

"I think the difference is quite big." Sun Hang glanced at the broken limbs crawling all over the ground, "Such a ridiculous scene probably wouldn't appear in the real world."

Sun Hang could not sense any memetic aura on these mutilated limbs, which means that they were not weird creatures.

It is for this reason that Sun Hang has always referred to these people as "humanoid creatures" rather than monsters.

"Oh, one more thing. The laws of the 'small world' will be adjusted at any time according to the will of the world's creator." Anna added, "The life and death of these people is just a matter of her thoughts...but now she has gone crazy again."
