Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 463 - 77: Rain Stops_2

But even the "Death Eye" couldn't discern the "flaw" in the barrier enveloping Building No. 3.

"Pop."

A drop of cold liquid splashed on Shinkata Misaki's face, and the girl looked up at the pitch-black sky.

Accompanied by a "swish," the rain falling from above began to increase.

"Director, it's raining." A guard took out an umbrella, shielding it over the director's head.

Aside from the busy soldiers, other researchers started looking for rain gear or simply hid in vehicles.

Shinkata Misaki let out a cold snort, pulled up the hood of her jacket, and tucked her hands into the wide sleeves.

In just a few seconds, the drizzle had turned into steady rain, with the tendency to become heavy.

At that moment, the sound of an engine roaring came from overhead as a helicopter adorned with the Dubhe Tower insignia slowly descended, its sixteen-meter-long rotor blades slicing through the rain, flinging the water away.

When the helicopter was about three meters above the ground, a young man wearing a thin sweatshirt jumped out of the cabin.

The moment his feet touched the ground, the rain suddenly stopped.

"I hate rain." The young man muttered to himself, "It's wet and cold."

Shinkata Misaki squinted. From this young man, she felt a very dangerous aura.

Apart from the "Death Eye," her intuition was very keen—she once considered intuition one of her abilities, though this claim hadn't been recognized by the Abnormal Ability Management Department.

Shinkata Misaki quietly lifted her eyepatch and looked at Sun Hang with her "Death Eye."

Her left eye had a light brown iris, but her right eye was a vibrant aquamarine, like a flawless blue jade... As the blue in her eye slowly flowed, her right eye's pupil swiftly contracted twice.

At first glance, the young man's body was riddled with flaws, as if stickers were plastered on each one; densely packed they could wrap him up like a walking mummy.

But after she blinked, all the flaws on the young man's body disappeared!

He became a "flawless" existence!

Shinkata Misaki was certain the young man was an infected individual because her ability only worked on beings carrying the meme, yet she'd never seen a hunter without any flaws before.

Everyone in any state would have flaws; while not necessarily fatal, they exist… No one can be entirely flawless—it's theoretically impossible.

But within these few minutes, Shinkata Misaki had seen two flawless beings.

One was the barrier surrounding Building No. 3, and the other was this young man who jumped down from the helicopter.

"Who is he?" Shinkata Misaki couldn't help but wonder, "Is he a Mysterious Creature Hunter sent by Dubhe Tower?"

...

"Besides being wet and cold, there's mud too." Sun Hang looked disdainfully at the mud sticking to his shoe and walked directly towards Sun Qiong, "Where's Ling Xiao?"

"He's in this building." The director first spoke, "You… oh no, you must be... that 'VIP,' right?"

"What's all this VIP stuff, I have a name, just call me Sun Hang." Sun Hang said, "And who are you?"

"Second-in-command of the Abnormal Ability Management Department." The director said, "Also the manager of this experiment base."

"Oh, I'll call you Yuan." Sun Hang casually said.

"Ahem... You should directly address me by name, I'm Yuan Rui."

"Fine, Yuan." Sun Hang nodded, "Is this building the one sealed with the barrier, Building No. 3?"

"Yes, Ling Xiao is on the sixth floor, that window." Yuan Rui pointed with his hand as he spoke, "Four minutes ago he had a brief fight in the corridor with Object 549."

"How's the situation?"

"He cut off one arm of Object 549... but for Object 549 it wasn't fatal." Yuan Rui spoke as quickly as possible, "Then Object 549 killed a reserve anomalous and his girlfriend; a minute ago, signs of life from the reserve in room 607 disappeared, now Object 549 is in 607... feeding."

"What about Ling Xiao?"

"He was forced by Object 549 back into room 608 and hasn't come out." Yuan Rui replied.

At this moment, the helicopter Sun Hang arrived in had finally landed steadily, and Yuri, now in field duty gear, hurriedly ran out of the cabin.

"The latest comparison data is out, Object 549's mutation is at 2913%!" Yuri's tone held a trace of anger, "How is that possible?! Wasn't the power supposed to be cut off from Building No. 3? Did someone expose Object 549 to strong spotlight?"

"No!" Yuan Rui felt somewhat aggrieved, "After discovering the invasion, we immediately detected the meme and notified each department including yours! Then, as requested, we cut off Building No. 3's power, and turned off most of the base's lights, leaving only minimum illumination."

Yuan Rui gestured to the tents with laptops and equipment on tables, continuing, "If indicator lights and computer screens can mutate Object 549 to such an extent, I'm truly at a loss; my team are human, they can't work in total darkness!"

Yuan Rui's grievance was understandable, the scene was genuinely dark, aside from faint lights from monitoring devices, almost everyone was working in the dark... the base's hundred or so head-mounted night vision devices had all been distributed.

The brightest light source on-site was probably the helicopter's lights carried by Sun Hang and his team.

"This level of brightness... truly couldn't mutate Object 549 to this extent…" Yuri pondered aloud, "But judging by prior data, Object 549 must have been exposed directly to high lumens during this period."

"Could it be the hallway lights?" Yuan Rui asked, "Before cutting the power, the hallway lights were constantly on… if Object 549 stayed under them for a while then…"

"No, not enough time!" Yuri flatly denied, "Object 549 just disappeared, you immediately found it... not to mention how it instantly crossed dozens of kilometers to appear here; even if exposed full-time, it couldn't..."

Before Yuri finished, Sun Qiong's low exclamation interrupted: "Object 549… it's come out of room 607!"

Everyone looked up simultaneously towards the sixth-floor window.

Vaguely visible, a blood-soaked humanoid stood in the corridor, tangled human intestines adorning its messy long hair...

When Sun Hang looked at it, as if sensing something, it turned its head, peering below.

Sun Hang saw a pair of red eyes, so red as if blood was about to drip.

The next moment, Object 549 withdrew its gaze, instantly accelerating towards the corridor's end at room 608!
