Trickster Hunter

Chapter 131 Memetic Mutation

Just when Sun Hang was thinking about whether to violate the rules of the trial and kill the Overlord directly, a slender skeleton appeared behind the Overlord like a ghost, and ten dagger-like fingers pierced the Overlord directly. The back of the head!

The Overlord let out an inhuman roar, turned around and slapped the corpse away, but at the same time, the air wall imprisoning Sun Hang also disappeared at this moment.

Sun Hang seized this opportunity and retreated directly into the convenience store.

"What's going on? This guy became so angry when he was defeated?" Sun Hang looked at the puppet master and asked.

The skeleton that just attacked the Overlord was obviously one of the puppet master's weapons and equipment. But what made Sun Hang a little puzzled was that this skeleton was obviously much stronger than the previous ones, but the puppet master But he didn't use it to deal with himself. Instead, he extended a helping hand when he was in crisis.

Could it be that this girl is letting herself go?

"It's not that he became angry." The puppet master shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "His meme has mutated."

"Memetic mutation? What do you mean?" Although Sun Hang has been supplementing his knowledge in this area after becoming a monster hunter, it is obvious that this is a new concept that he has not yet dabbled in.

"The memes in the body of the monster hunter are generally relatively stable, and the infection process will not change significantly for several years or even more than ten years. But once a meme mutation occurs, the infection process will take place in a very short period of time. Breaking through the danger threshold, leading to the complete transformation of the infected person." A strange voice sounded not far away. Sun Hang turned his head and saw a handsome man wearing a long brown windbreaker and a top hat pushing through the crowd and heading towards them. Came over.

Although he is indeed handsome in this outfit, it is already early summer, and this thick woolen windbreaker always gives people a feeling of being incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Especially since this man had an equally thick woolen scarf hanging around his neck.

"Who are you?"

"A third-level hunter affiliated with Tianshu Tower, 'Zhulong'." The handsome uncle nodded towards Sun Hang, "We were notified at the last moment and came to reinforce him."

As if he was afraid that Sun Hang would misunderstand, Zhulong added: "The promotion trial has been suspended. I am here to deal with this guy."

After speaking, he pointed at the Overlord who was fighting with the skeletal figure on the other side.

"So, is this guy completely transformed now?" Sun Hang asked.

"It's hard to say, but according to the information I received, his infection process exceeded the danger threshold a minute ago." Zhulong said.

"Isn't it because of me?"

"There are many causes of memetic mutation, and it's hard to stick to one theory," Zhulong said. "Don't feel guilty. It's possible that you are just the straw that breaks the camel's back."

"I don't feel guilty." Sun Hang rubbed his nose and blew away a lump of blood that was blocked in his nasal cavity. "I'm a good person. I never cause trouble for myself."

"That's good." Zhulong smiled and nodded.

"He failed to completely transform... He turned into a skeleton." The puppet master suddenly said, "I can feel his emotions. It is not anger, but fear."

"Fear?" Zhulong was slightly startled, "Miss Zhong, please explain in more detail."

"It seems that the meme in his body felt a fatal threat and was forced to mutate in order to survive..." The puppet master closed his eyes slightly and murmured, "I can read a very clear concept from it. ——'Predator'."

"...Predator?" Zhulong thought for a moment and turned his attention to Sun Hang.

"Well, it has nothing to do with me, right?" Sun Hang said, "He is about to strangle me to death, but I have no intention of killing him."

As soon as Sun Hang heard the word predator, he knew that this matter was most likely to have something to do with him.

Although Overlord doesn't know that his memes come from Taotie, to Tianshu Tower, this is no secret at all.

"It's possible that I was scared by you." Zhulong muttered, "Some monsters are naturally restrained against other monsters, just like hunters and prey in nature... and the infection that carries their memes So is the person.”

"Then it seems that I have taken the blame, right?" Sun Hang suddenly felt helpless.

"No, according to the rules of Tianshu Tower, you do not need to bear any responsibility." Zhulong said, "He has violated the order by coming to you privately. Even if the responsibility for the memetic mutation is to be investigated, it should be under the control of Sitting The researchers in the room will take care of it.”

"Then what should we do with this guy now?" Sun Hang looked at Overlord.

"Memetic mutation is irreversible. According to Miss Zhong, he has been transformed into a skeletal corpse. The next issue Tianshu Tower needs to consider is how to minimize the loss..." Zhulong said, "I think since Miss Zhong If you can sense him, then he will probably be turned into your magic weapon, right?"

"Is this okay?" Sun Hang muttered.

"Many of the skeletons controlled by Miss Zhong were transformed by hunters." Zhulong said, "But this should be the first skeleton transformed by a hunter of the same level. Whether it can be controlled smoothly, I'm afraid It’s still an unknown.”

"Let's not discuss this now. That corpse is almost unbearable." Sun Hang said, "After this guy broke through the danger threshold, he became stronger by more than a little bit."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Zhulong slowly raised his hand. The next second, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and even Sun Hang shuddered involuntarily - he suddenly understood why Zhulong had to wear such warm clothes in this season.

If possible, he would also like to get a big cotton jacket to wear now.

More than a dozen streams of water exuding a cold breath surged out from the cracks in the road. They crawled on the ground like some kind of snakes, quickly approaching the Overlord who had turned into a skeleton.

The Overlord, who was fighting with the puppet master's skeleton, also sensed the approach of danger. He quickly abandoned his original opponent and punched the snake-shaped water stream closest to him.

"Boom!!!"

The ground cracked, gravel splashed, and the snake-shaped water stream was immediately blasted away - but soon, it gathered together again and continued to swim towards the Overlord.

Although they look like snakes, these snake-shaped water flows are essentially just a mass of liquid gathered together. No matter how powerful the fist is, it is impossible to completely "destroy" it.

If Wang Xiyi were here, a breath of dragon's breath might be able to evaporate the snake-shaped water flow, but the Overlord's attack method was completely defeated by the power of the Candle Dragon - in a blink of an eye, these snake-shaped water flows emitting a cold breath were entangled on his body.
