Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 488 - 91: Bento

"Maybe," Zhong Ling said blandly, "I need to go back and make a statement."

"Uh... yeah." Sun Hang scratched his head, "Is it possible not to?"

Sun Hang himself didn’t plan on doing it... Even though that out-of-control Hunter could count as having been soloed by him, as long as he didn’t want to make a statement, probably no one in the entire Celestial City would dare to force him to.

Anyway, outposts and patrol teams all have high-definition recorders, and video recording is far more efficient than the kind of formalism that starts by asking for name and gender—under the current situation in Shuzhou, most of the people who like to stick to old rules or exploit them for gain have retreated to secondary positions, and everything is basically efficiency first.

Many of the officials saved from the Temporal Anomaly incident had resigned from their positions in the Celestial City Management Committee, leaving Shuzhou with various excuses, bringing their families along... As for the current Management Committee, nearly two-thirds of it is fresh blood.

This fresh blood includes young people promoted from below, as well as experienced practical talents parachuted in—this matter has been brought up to Yang Lian and Sun Hang more than once, and in her words, "now the work is indeed much more comfortable than before."

"No." Zhong Ling shook his head, "But there should be some leftovers in the fridge, you can heat them up in the microwave."

"Leftovers?"

"I made them earlier, they were meant for Yang Qi and the others." Zhong Ling said.

"Alright... do you need me to take you back?"

"I’ll just go with the convoy." Zhong Ling glanced at him, "Do you want to join?"

"No, I’ll head back first, I’m hungry." Sun Hang waved his hand.

...

...

Celestial City, Mysterious Creature Hunter exclusive residential area.

Sun Hang opened the fridge, and surely, in the top shelf, were neatly arranged seven or eight plastic lunch boxes, all wrapped in cling film, with labels on the film indicating the contents of the meals.

"Zhong Ling, even if she’s not an ability user, nor born into such a family... with her skills, she could probably reach the pinnacle of life just selling boxed meals, right?" Sun Hang muttered, turning to look at Shinkata Misaki, who was sitting at the dining table, staring blankly, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"What is there to eat?" Shinkata Misaki raised her head and asked back.

"Uh, let me see... Tomato scrambled eggs with minced meat and eggplant, fried three-dice with karaage chicken pieces, oh, there’s even a box with a whole marinated large pork knuckle!"

"The karaage chicken, please." Shinkata Misaki said, "By the way, weren’t you going to take a meal to that white-haired woman? Does that mean we have to return to the research institute later?"

"No need, there’s a word called ’the power of technology.’" Sun Hang casually grabbed a lunch box, placed it into a foam box, walked outside the villa, and hung the foam box under a drone.

A few seconds later, the drone slowly ascended, then flew towards the direction of the Celestial City Research Institute.

"You’ve seen drone food deliveries, right?" Sun Hang smiled, "In border cities like Celestial City, it’s common, and it’s even more widespread in Chunming City."

"No, Chunming City doesn’t have that." Shinkata Misaki shook her head, "Chunming City strictly controls civilian drones, all privately owned drones must be registered, and each flight requires reporting the time, trajectory, and purpose to the Drone Management Bureau, and there are many no-fly zones... So no one would use them for food delivery."

"Tsk... seems like Chunming City isn’t as good as Celestial City in some aspects..." Sun Hang said.

"Listening to your accent, you don’t seem like a Celestial City native, why do you seem quite proud of it?" Shinkata Misaki was a bit puzzled.

"To be honest, I don’t even know where I’m from... But since I live in Celestial City, I’m a Celestial person, nothing wrong with that, right?" Sun Hang said.

"... You have no birth records? What about your parents?" Shinkata Misaki frowned, "Did you grow up here from the time you can remember? Wait... If that’s the case, you should..."

"If I tell you, I’ve only got a few months’ worth of memory, would you believe me?" Sun Hang tossed two lunch boxes into the microwave, setting the power and time.

"I would, why not." Shinkata Misaki said, "So you’ve lost your memory, and you’re also a ’shadow’ because neither the Celestial City’s household database nor the Xiazhou Federation’s citizen archives have your information... Is that right?"

"You’ve guessed pretty accurately." Sun Hang nodded.

"That’s not a guess, it’s deduction, and a very simple one at that." Shinkata Misaki said, proudly raising an eyebrow, "Your memory loss is probably related to the Mysterious Creature attack incident, isn’t it?"

"Deduction’s quite accurate."

"No identity record, no memory, with extremely abnormal abilities, memory loss and manifestation linked to a Mysterious Creature attack..." Shinkata Misaki pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up, "Could it be you’re a humanoid Mysterious Creature? Except you’ve lost your memories from your time as a Mysterious Creature, so you think you’re human?"

"I think so too, but unfortunately, you’re wrong this time." Sun Hang sighed, "The Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute did a very detailed physical examination on me... um, like a legitimate medical examination, not the kind Song Yarong talked about... The results showed I’m just a human infected with a memetic virus, but the infection level is very low, making me one of the most stable and safest infected individuals."

"Leaving aside the previous statements, do you truly believe the last sentence you just said?" Shinkata Misaki questioned, "For infected individuals, ’stable’ and ’safe’ are the antonyms of ’strong’... The stronger the Mysterious Creature Hunter, the more dangerous their mimicry virus is, and the closer their infection process is to the safety threshold. Considering your strength, it’s surprising you haven’t been sealed in an Eternal Freeze Coffin for years."
