Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 90 Meeting Suspended
There was an uproar in the tent.

"Professor... According to what you said, the enemy we are facing this time..." a hunter said in a trembling voice, "is it a primary level monster?"

"It's very likely." Professor Li nodded.

"Professor, this joke is not funny at all." Another hunter said with rapid breathing, "If the enemy is really a primary monster, we have no chance of winning this battle... We might as well cut our losses in time and give up Shuzhou as soon as possible."

Although there were not many voices of agreement in the meeting hall, it could be seen from the expressions of the people that most people did not oppose this proposal.

"Is there any record in human history of successfully conquering or repelling primary monsters?" Sun Hang turned his head to look at Yang Qi and asked in a low voice.

The latter shook his head: "Not to mention repelling it, there is not even any record of witnessing it... It is a primary weird thing, and it only exists in the 'concept'."

"concept?"

"By reverse calculation based on the meme frequency, we can determine that there is a monster that has all the original memes of the same type of monsters. This is the original primary monster." Yang Qi said, "Although we have not seen the original primary monster, we have a lot of evidence that it must exist."

"What about the rotten mother tree deep in the Amazon rainforest?" Sun Hang asked.

"Even the Anglo-Saxons who once lived on the other side of the ocean have never seen the rotten mother tree with their own eyes... Humans can't even get close to the area where it is." Yang Qi said, "It is like a black hole in the universe. It cannot be observed or contacted in a conventional way, but nothing around it can ignore its existence... The most reliable detection method at present is probably to detect the changes in the meme frequency in the remote area, and then deduce the approximate location of the original primary weird thing."

"I don't understand." Sun Hang said honestly.

"These calculations are all done by supercomputers. Even I don't know the principles and methods involved." Yang Qi said, "This is all I can tell you. If you want to know more details, you can only go to an expert in this field."

Having said this, Yang Qi glanced at Professor Li in the distance - among all the people present, perhaps only the third-ranked figure in Tianshu Tower was capable of helping Sun Hang solve his doubts.

"Hasn't anyone ever encountered a primary monster by accident?" Sun Hang asked unwillingly.

"The area within a radius of 100 kilometers around the original primary monster is an absolute forbidden zone for humans." Yang Qi said, "If you insist on asking whether there are any descriptions of humans and original primary monsters having direct contact - yes, there are, but they only exist in completely fictional online novels and commercial science fiction films."

……

"Well," the old general who had been silent all this time suddenly said loudly, "I know that the news of the original primary monster has had a huge impact on you, but so far, these are still our speculations. You should also know that when facing monsters, we always have to prepare for the worst, and this time is no exception."

He paused, and then continued, "I think you may need some events to digest the information you just received, so from now on, the combat meeting will be suspended for 30 minutes. You can move freely in the camp area, but please do not enter the restricted area or leave the camp. In addition, the information related to the previous Eternal Nights will be open to you unconditionally. If necessary, please check it on your smart terminal."

After the old general finished speaking, he hurriedly left the tent with several officers, and the hunters who were familiar with each other immediately gathered together and discussed in groups of three or five. "In fact, I don't think the old professor needs to tell the story of the original primary monster." Sun Hang shrugged, "If he said that, I'm afraid not many people will be willing to risk their lives."

"No," Yang Qi shook her head. "The stronger the hunter, the more loyal they are to the Federation. They will not disobey the Federation's orders... The reason why the hunter just now proposed to give up was not because he was afraid of death, but simply out of consideration for the overall interests. In fact, what he said is absolutely right. If it is really confirmed that the source of the breeding is occupied by the original primary monster, I think the Federation will most likely choose to give up the Shuzhou area."

"The reason why we are holding this combat meeting here now," Yang Lian continued, "is simply because the people above us still have a glimmer of hope in our hearts."

"I'm a little curious, why is it said that the stronger the hunter, the more loyal he is to the Federation?" Sun Hang asked.

"The answer is simple, because they cannot leave the Federation." Yang Qi glanced at Wang Xiyi, "Take Night Fury for example. If she cannot be injected with inhibitors regularly, it won't be long before she completely becomes a monster... For hunters, this is an ending more tragic than death. Their self-consciousness will be imprisoned forever, and they will suffer torture without relief."

Sun Hang looked at Wang Xiyi, and suddenly he understood why Wang Xiyi said those words to him.

Being eaten by herself might be a good ending for her.

Just when Yang Qi was about to find a smart terminal to check the information about Eternal Night collected and sorted out by Tianshu Tower, a soldier wearing the Tianshu Tower badge came over and asked, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Yang Qi, a researcher at the Tianfu City Weird Thing Research Institute, and Mr. Sun Hang, a registered hunter? Professor Li would like to talk to you in private."

"Professor Li? The one who just presided over the combat meeting?" Sun Hang was slightly stunned. This way of inviting people and this way of speaking reminded him of Lu Hongming who had tried to threaten him before.

This made him a little unhappy.

"Professor Li?!" Yang Qi's reaction seemed a little excited. She nodded immediately and said, "Okay, please take us there!"

Yang Lian and Wang Xiyi subconsciously wanted to follow, but were politely stopped by the soldier.

"Professor Li only invited Ms. Yang Qi and Mr. Sun Hang. The two of them were not on the list of invited guests."

"Ah Lian, just wait for me here." Yang Qi patted Yang Lian's shoulder, "I'll be back soon."

……

The soldier led Sun Hang and the other man out of the large meeting tent, bypassed two sentries, and entered a slightly smaller tent with a much more upscale interior. In this tent, there were piles of paper documents and files everywhere, and a large computer that almost took up an entire wall was constantly beeping, and thousands of indicator lights were constantly flashing.

"Oh, you're here?" Professor Li came out of the inner compartment with two cups of tea. "Sorry, it's a bit messy here. You can just find a place to sit."
