Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 515 - 104: Remnants_2

"You’re an esper. The federal policy towards espers is much better than for infected people like us," Sun Hang said. "You clearly had the chance to live above others. I don’t quite understand why you chose to stand against the Federation."

Sun Hang slightly relaxed his grip, allowing the other person a chance to speak.

"You’re... just... a dog... serving... the Federation!!" The woman managed to catch her breath but immediately launched a personal attack against Sun Hang as soon as she spoke. She seemed aware that Sun Hang wouldn’t spare her. Rather than beg for mercy in shame, she opted to indulge in a moment of verbal defiance while she had the chance.

"You’re mistaken. I’m not a dog of the Federation." Sun Hang shook his head. "My relationship with the Xiazhou Federation is one of cooperation, a matter of mutual benefit... But what I find difficult to understand is, if you hate the Federation so much, why not go to Chunming City to attack the council members there? Why bother me instead?"

"Because you deserve to die!!" the woman continued to curse.

"Do all the residents living here deserve to die too?" Sun Hang retorted.

"They all deserve to die! Humanity deserves to die! Any human that refuses to evolve should be eliminated by this world!" the woman shouted.

A mud figure embedded in the wall struggled twice, and Sun Hang immediately tightened his grip, giving the woman two hard slaps.

The mud figure fell silent again,

"I don’t believe men should hit women, but unfortunately, I don’t consider you human." Sun Hang said with a smile.

"Your remarks just now sound a lot like those people online who support the theory of supernatural evolution. But you’re better than them; they only dare to spout their nonsense online, but you actually dare to take action." Sun Hang continued, "Your ability is to manipulate this rotten mud, while those mutated residents were clearly not due to your handiwork... There’s some supernatural force assisting you in this attack, isn’t there?"

Sun Hang once again eased his grip a little.

"Cough cough... The power of... the holy lord... is not... something... you can resist..." The woman said while coughing, "Everyone... should either merge with the holy lord... or be eliminated..."

"What is the holy lord? Is it Chimera 17?" Sun Hang asked, then awkwardly touched his nose. "Forgot that Chimera 17 is an internal code name. You probably don’t know what that is."

"The holy lord will eventually rule the skies—"

Before she could finish saying "world," Sun Hang punched her in the mouth, instantly breaking four of her front teeth and filling her mouth with blood.

Sun Hang noticed something in the sleeve that was cut open by the metal blade. He reached out and tore her entire sleeve off.

On the inside of this woman’s arm was a tattoo quite familiar to Sun Hang.

"Ha... those idiots who worship Tai Sui still have remnants hiding in Tianfu City? And this remnant is an esper? Interesting." Sun Hang extended some mycelium from his fingertips and waved them in front of her, "See, Tai Sui is now on me. Technically, I’m the holy lord you should be worshiping, right? Could you kindly kneel and bow your head three times to me? I might forgive your disrespect to the holy lord just now."

"Tai Sui... Tai Sui is just a failed product... It’s unworthy, and so are you!" The woman cursed indistinctly, having lost her front teeth. "The true holy lord has long given me a divine message... When it completes its transformation, it will be..."

"Transformation? So you’re saying that the holy lord you’re talking about is indeed Chimera 17?"

Outside, there was the sound of helicopter blades, and several helicopters slowly approached. A familiar figure in full armor was waving at Sun Hang from the cabin door.

"Ye Jiu? Why are you here so late?" Sun Hang said, somewhat discontented.

The helicopter neared the building, and Ye Jiu shouted at Sun Hang, "I’ve come as fast as I could! Do you know how chaotic Tianfu City is right now? It’s not just this place; several districts are showing large-scale signs of resident mutation. It’s downright apocalyptic like a zombie movie! The Public Security Bureau and the military are overwhelmed! If it weren’t because the troublemaker is you, I wouldn’t have had time to come and support you!"

"But since you’re here, it’s not much use anyway. The mastermind has been found." Sun Hang shook the thin woman he was holding in mid-air.

"This woman... is she a supernatural force?" Ye Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked.

"No, she hasn’t been infected; she’s an esper." Sun Hang shook his head, "But she was once a member of a cult organization. Funny enough, the cult she joined earlier was dismantled by me... This person came to seek revenge, so it’s fair to say that grievances have their heads and debts have their owners."

"An esper? A cult?" Ye Jiu was even more puzzled, "You’re saying a cult that worships supernatural forces? Espers actually worship supernatural forces?"

"The world is full of wonders; isn’t the one in front of you an example?" Sun Hang said, "Ask the research institute whether they want her alive or not; if not, I’ll kill her."

"No! No no no!" Ye Jiu repeated several "no’s," "Don’t kill her! Let me take her back; the research institute can extract a lot of useful information from her."

"Are they going to dissect her?" Sun Hang asked.

"That’s... that’s something I’m not sure about."

"This person seems to have a connection with Chimera 17. Her ability is to manipulate sludge-like materials, so make sure she doesn’t come into contact with them... Also, have you found the cause of the large-scale resident mutation?"

"It seems to be related to water sources," Ye Jiu replied, "The Investigation Bureau conducted an emergency investigation on the regions where large numbers of mutations were occurring, and the first thing they investigated was the water source—they found that these areas’ water sources had been contaminated by memetic pollution, and people who drank the contaminated water became something like zombies."

"Oh?" Sun Hang recalled the instant noodles on the table earlier. The reason he noticed those noodles as soon as he entered the room was because he felt the noodles were problematic... Now it seems the problem wasn’t the noodles, but the water used for them.

After the outbreak of the mutation phenomenon, the memetic content in the water had dissipated significantly, and even the remaining memetic aura had become extremely faint.

"Looking at it this way, someone has deliberately poisoned the water, and it’s happened in several places... This person might have accomplices, right?" Sun Hang said.

"Accomplices? Maybe other cult members?"

"It could possibly be supernatural forces too. I’ll leave it to you to extract whatever you can from her," said Sun Hang before he went on to sever the tendons in the esper’s hands and feet and brutally broke her limbs, causing her to faint from the excruciating pain.

"Isn’t... isn’t that a bit much?" Ye Jiu said, somewhat compassionately, "The aircraft has restraint devices, and there are tools that can limit abilities."

"To be safe." Sun Hang tossed the severely injured and unconscious esper out the window, and Ye Jiu quickly reached out to catch her, then, with the help of several field operatives on the aircraft, they dragged her into the cabin.

"Any news about Yang Lian?" Sun Hang asked.

"A support team intercepted her on the way," Ye Jiu replied, "But according to Yang Qi, her mental state seems a bit off."

"Anyone would be in bad shape mentally if they had to drive over a few hundred people," Sun Hang grumbled.

"Who says? I’m the kind of person who wouldn’t blink an eye destroying a planet, just a few hundred people? That’s nothing!"

"Numbers in a game and living people in front of you are different. You wouldn’t believe it unless you try."

"Try? Where do you plan to try?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"No need to wait, let’s do it now! Come down quickly!" Sun Hang pointed to the street below, "Those remaining mutants are all yours!"
