Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 443 - 66: Violent Problem Solving (Part 2)

The young man pressed a button on the frame of his sunglasses, and a slew of characters immediately scrolled across the lenses—Ling Xiao now realized that these sunglasses were actually a screen for displaying detected data.

"Hmm... synchronization rate 57.97%... it's exactly consistent with the data reported by Celestial City over there." The young man nodded, "That's quite an excellent dataset, combining the characteristics of 'Chi-Radius,' you should become a very powerful suitable candidate."

"During the use of deceitful equipment, the synchronization rate will gradually increase. This is a normal phenomenon and there's no need to worry," the middle-aged woman seriously said to Ling Xiao. "However, if the synchronization rate increases too quickly, such as by more than three points at once, please stop using the deceitful equipment immediately and contact Research Facility No. 1... Additionally, in certain special circumstances, the synchronization rate can temporarily increase sharply... such as when the suitable candidate faces a mortal threat or erupts with some kind of potential. After these special circumstances, the synchronization rate will quickly revert to its original level... but regardless of whether the synchronization rate falls back, if such situations arise, you must go to Research Facility No. 1 for a check-up."

The middle-aged woman paused, then continued, "Moreover, although the maximum limit of the synchronization rate is 75%, under normal circumstances, once the synchronization rate exceeds 70%, we no longer recommend that the suitable candidate continue using the deceitful equipment... You understand what we mean, right?"

"Leader, do we really need to talk about this to such an extent?" muttered the young man in sunglasses. "In his case... the final synchronization rate shouldn't exceed 65%, it's not that easy to cross the 70% threshold."

"Any suitable candidate with a synchronization rate over 50% can potentially cross this threshold," the middle-aged woman coldly glanced at the young man. "If you ask me such questions again, you'll roll back to the apprentice group and stay with that bunch of interns."

"...I know I was wrong, Leader." The young man instantly became well-behaved.

"Regarding certain detailed problems and methods of using deceitful equipment, if there's anything you don't understand, you can directly contact us," the middle-aged woman turned her gaze back to Ling Xiao. "Also, I remember Ye Jiu is in Celestial City too. His type of deceitful equipment is similar to yours, both belong to the category of cold weapons. Perhaps you can seek his advice on combat experiences."

"Speaking of which, how is that fellow Ye Jiu doing now?" the young man also asked. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Since the last mission, he's been staying in the archive room of the Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute," Ling Xiao answered truthfully.

"Archive room? Stayed until now? That's not something he would typically do..." The young man seemed familiar with Ye Jiu, his tone filled with surprise, "Is he investigating something?"

"Chang'an City," Ling Xiao replied.

"Chang'an City? Chang'an City... the capital of the Great Tang Empire... Mysterious Armor Brave Cavalry..." The young man furrowed his brows, "Could it be that there's an issue with 'Slaughter'?"

...

Deep inside Dubhe Tower, Reception Area No. 1.

"Why are you smiling so..." Yuri stammered.

"Oh, it's just that I find this thing interesting," Sun Hang casually plopped onto the sofa. "It's like when a child finds a fun toy and laughs out of pure joy... Well, just consider me as someone who hasn't lost their inner child."

"Still have an inner child's heart?"

"By the way, does the socket in the room have electricity?" Sun Hang noticed the TV plug tossed beside the TV cabinet, and the wall socket was less than twenty centimeters away.

"No... This living room is completely isolated from the outside world. To prevent this mysterious creature from invading Dubhe Tower via circuits, we won't set any sockets or network interfaces here, even for experiments, we use independent mobile power for electricity."

"I see... By the way, Yuri, as a senior researcher at Dubhe Tower, what do you think about the screen showing surveillance footage of the living room, where we've become skeletons?"

"You're asking me?"

"Of course I'm asking you, do you expect me to ask it?" Sun Hang pointed the remote at the TV opposite, making Yuri jump in fright yet again.

"...Without detailed experimental data, I don't dare draw conclusions," Yuri said.

"Don't you have any intuition? Or imagination... What do you think this image represents?"

"Imagination..." Yuri wanted to retort, but he held back and said, as calmly as possible, "I personally think... the image on the screen could possibly... be... a kind of prophecy?"

"Prophecy?" Sun Hang tilted his head, "You mean the two of us will both become skeletons?"

"Humans will all die... It could be depicting decades or even hundreds of years later..." Yuri stopped abruptly.

Because he had discovered a serious flaw.

If the image is depicting future scenes, why have only their bodies turned to skeletons?

The protective suits they wore looked brand new— even the decor in the living room appeared identical to now, with no signs of aging.

"It might... only display... only display biological..."

"If I say I want to swallow this thing up, you wouldn't object, right?" Sun Hang suddenly stood up and walked toward the TV.

"No... but given the current situation, I think we should first clarify the cause of the anomaly, then..."

Before Yuri could finish his sentence, Sun Hang was already swinging his fist toward the TV screen.

"Since I can swallow this thing, smashing it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After destroying the phonograph of the inner world, Sun Hang became enamored with this violent problem-solving approach of "a force to break a thousand methods"... Whatever monsters or demons come, let them first taste a strike from Sun Hang.

If they don't perish after the strike, then we'll discuss life, philosophy, and which Chunming City pancake is more authentic.

Sun Hang's fist pierced directly through the TV screen— but the image on the screen did not disappear as a result; even in the screen, Sun Hang was facing the TV, punching through the screen of the TV depicted within.

"What... what are you doing?" Yuri called out, "Please stop your destructive behavior; I'll have someone come to de—"

Before Yuri could say "deal," a hammer made of liquid metal materialized in Sun Hang's hand, and with several thumps, he smashed the whole TV into a mess!

"Where... where did he get the hammer from?" Yuri was stunned; he remembered clearly that before entering the reception area, Sun Hang had sealed away all liquid metal.

A crisp sound came as the unsupported glass coffee table shattered on the floor— Yuri looked down, and the four metal legs of the table had vanished unnoticed.

Sun Hang's actions didn't cease, and the hammer kept swinging and landing heavily—

The TV's casing, screen, internal electronic components flew in all directions... Yuri hastily closed the door behind him, fearing any small fragments might fly outside the living room.
