Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 76: Type A monster?

"Three monkey-shaped statues..." Song Yarong looked thoughtful, and the artificial eye in her eye socket spun around. "To be honest, I don't have much impression... Can you describe it in more detail? For example, the size, material, shape and movement of the statues, etc."

"As for the size and material, I'm not sure." Sun Hang shook his head, "But their postures seem to be one covering its eyes, one covering its ears, and the last one covering its mouth."

"Three monkeys?" Ye Jiu suddenly asked.

"Do you know this thing?" Sun Hang raised his eyebrows and looked at the tin man sitting next to him.

"How should I put it... This thing is actually an allusion, not a strange thing." Ye Jiu said, "This allusion can be traced back to the Confucian classic "The Analects", 'The Master said: Do not look at what is not proper, do not listen to what is not proper, do not speak what is not proper'... and the image of the three monkeys is the embodiment of these three sentences. In addition to Xiazhou, the image of the three monkeys has appeared many times in the surrounding countries influenced by Confucian culture, including carvings, murals, clay sculptures, etc. But as far as I know, there are no statues of the three monkeys among the artifact-type strange things that have been discovered."

"Is that so..." Sun Hang exhaled slowly and frowned slightly.

Don't look at what is not proper, don't listen to what is not proper, don't say what is not proper... As a native of Xiazhou, Sun Hang certainly knew this story. But it was obvious that the three monkeys he saw had no direct connection with "propriety", something that was highly respected in Confucian culture. If he had to apply this story, he would have to remove the word "not proper" in front.

Don't look, don't listen, don't speak.

Sun Hang suddenly realized that this so-called three-ape statue might not be an artifact-type strange object, but belong to the most mysterious type - "Type A·Rule-type" strange object.

Whether it was the Christmas crystal ball, the strange office building, or the ghost with the ability to control time, they all conflicted with the rules of the "Three Monkeys" and were ruthlessly wiped out. This unreasonable ability to wipe out can obviously only be done by rule-based ghosts.

But why were those strange creatures wiped out instead of Sun Hang?

Is it true that according to the rules of the "Three Monkeys", I can't be directly wiped out?

Just as Sun Hang was deep in thought, Ye Jiu suddenly nudged him with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "Why are you asking about this suddenly? Have you encountered this strange thing?"

"Yes, I'm curious too." Song Yarong, who was sitting opposite, nodded repeatedly. "This should be a new strange creature with no sightings. Maybe after I go back, I can create a file for it and apply for a temporary number. This temporary number and file can be kept for up to ten years. If the strange creature appears again within ten years and there is a confirmed sighting record, then the number can be regularized..."

"As the compiler of the archives, you can also get a lot of scientific research points, right?" Ye Jiu ruthlessly exposed Song Yarong's true thoughts.

"Hehe..." Song Yarong smiled awkwardly, "If you want to quickly upgrade your professional title, you can't miss any opportunity to accumulate points. I'm really looking forward to going to Tianshu Tower to see the world."

"Tianshu Tower... Tsk, your ambitions are quite ambitious." Ye Jiu smiled, and it was hard to tell whether the emotion in his eyes was more of praise or mockery. "What is Tianshu Tower?" Sun Hang suddenly asked this question.

"Ah?" Ye Jiu's expression froze, "You...you don't even know about the Tianshu Tower?"

"He has just been employed as a monster hunter for less than a month." Song Yarong explained for Sun Hang, "Before that, he suffered a brain injury and lost a lot of memory. Even his name was confirmed by the nameplate he carried with him."

"Amnesia?" Ye Jiu looked at Sun Hang again, and then slowly said, "Tianshu Tower is located in Chunming City. It is the highest-level weirdo research institution in Xiazhou Federation. It is also the home of the most authoritative weirdo research experts and the strongest weirdo hunters in the entire federation."

"What about the No. 1 Research Institute that you belong to?" Sun Hang asked, "I thought the No. 1 Research Institute was the best weird thing research institution in Chunming City."

"Ahem... In terms of the research field of strange equipment and gadgets, the No. 1 Research Institute is indeed the best." Ye Jiu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. "After all... well, everyone has their own specialties. Our No. 1 Research Institute is specifically responsible for the research of strange equipment and qualified personnel. Other aspects are a little bit..."

"Institute No. 1 is a subordinate institution of Tianshu Tower." Song Yarong did not save face for Ye Jiu and directly exposed his words. "There are ten institutes under Tianshu Tower, from No. 0 to No. 9. Each institute has its own independent research direction. In terms of level, they are all top-notch in their respective fields."

"To be precise, it cannot be considered a subordinate organization, but a mutually cooperative relationship." Ye Jiu's cheeks flushed slightly, and he argued in a low voice, "Alas... there is nothing to discuss about this. You might as well talk about your experience with the three ape monsters."

"Yes, where did you find the three monkey statues? Do they have any obvious characteristics?" As soon as the matter involved her own scientific research points, Song Yarong immediately put aside her past grudges and united with Ye Jiu.

She even had a blank dossier open on her tablet, ready to record.

"I'm not sure if that thing is an independent weird object." Sun Hang sighed, "I saw it in a weird office building. My intuition told me that it was dangerous, so I didn't get close to it. I just looked at it from a distance."

"The weird office building... Are you referring to the G-type weird creature you encountered when you were on the Black Mamba No. 24?" Song Yarong's eyes lit up. "That weird creature is also a new weird creature that does not exist in the archives. Although you have destroyed it, it is still worth recording. In addition, according to the eyewitness reports of Ye Sha and Yang Lian, the 'Cingliushisi' that lured you into the weird office building is most likely a fake."

"I think so too." Sun Hang nodded. Since he couldn't get any valuable information from Song Yarong and Ye Jiu, he didn't plan to continue discussing the topic of the three apes with them. It would be best if he could change the topic. "Except for its appearance, the characteristics of that monster are very different from 'Bing Liu San Si'."

"It could be a symbiotic monster." Ye Jiu said, "In nature, there are many such creatures, and many monsters have symbiotic relationships with each other."
