Trickster Hunter

Chapter 132 Halftime

The Overlord's movements suddenly slowed down. He struggled desperately, trying to shake off these serpentine water streams, but to no avail.

Soon, one of the serpentine water streams crawled onto his face and entered his mouth.

The Overlord's body froze, and then he began to twitch violently as if he had been electrocuted - this state lasted for about ten seconds, and his tall body fell down with a bang, raising a large cloud of dust.

"Dead?"

"No, just frozen." Zhulong looked at Sun Hang, "Are you cold? Do you need me to lend you my scarf?"

Sun Hang glanced at the thick wool scarf. The fabric was already covered with a thin layer of frost, and the chill it exuded was far greater than the surrounding air... Wrapping this thing around his neck would probably only have the opposite effect.

"Forget it, a man lending a scarf to another man always feels infuriating." Sun Hang refused directly.

"Haha, that's right." Zhulong laughed heartily - compared to his Yin-cold attribute ability, his personality is quite cheerful and sunny.

The two chatted for a while, and the special forces of Tianshu Tower hurriedly arrived. Dozens of soldiers in black clothes and black armor rushed into the alley and surrounded the scene with a blockade. Then, a helicopter dropped from the sky, and two soldiers wearing heavy power armor stuffed the immobile Overlord into a container like a coffin and lifted it onto the helicopter.

A researcher with messy hair and a white coat that had obviously not been washed for several weeks hurried over. After looking around the scene, he locked his sights on Sun Hang and Zhulong.

"You are Sun Hang, a registered hunter in Tianfu City?" The researcher came over and asked.

"It's me." Sun Hang nodded.

"Well, due to this sudden incident, Tianshu Tower has decided to suspend the first stage of the upgrade trial." The researcher said, "But the trial will not be cancelled, and the specific resumption time is tentatively scheduled for three days. During these three days, you can move freely, and your wanted order will be temporarily sealed, but your personal account will not be unfrozen until the entire trial is over. If you have any needs during this period, you can directly contact us or the offices of Tianshu Tower in various districts, no problem?"

"There is a problem." Sun Hang said seriously.

"Uh, what's the problem?"

"The account is frozen, I have no money to eat and no place to live. If I were alone, it would be fine, but I have to bring a girl with me. I can't let her pick up garbage and sleep on the street with me, right?" Sun Hang said.

"Tianshu Tower will provide you with temporary accommodation and daily necessities. As for the puppeteer, we will take her back..."

"No, she is my hostage. Even if the trial is suspended, I will not return her to you." Sun Hang refused, "Can you guarantee that you will return her to me after the trial is restarted?"

"This... this is of course impossible." The researcher said embarrassedly, "The puppeteer belongs to the No. 1 Institute. We need to communicate with them about her stay or departure..."

This guy is obviously just a messenger, and the decision-making power is not in his hands.

"Don't talk about those roundabout words. I know very well that as long as I hand her over, you will have ten thousand reasons not to return her to me at that time." Sun Hang said, "I also know that you have no power to decide anything. So, I don't need you to provide me with any temporary accommodation and daily necessities. Just give me some cash. Anyway, you can ask the federal government to reimburse this money."

"Ah?"

"Hurry up, how much money do you have on you, take it out and give it to me!" Sun Hang said viciously, like a bandit who robbed on the road.

"This..." The researcher searched the pockets of his white coat, but only found two ballpoint pens and a small piece of chocolate that had been in his pocket for who knows how long and had melted and deformed. "I... I usually don't carry cash."

"Why are you so rigid?" Sun Hang couldn't help but scolded, "Has your brain been stupid because of research? Don't you see that there are shops everywhere on this street? You can just find one, scan the payment code, and ask the boss to give you some cash, right?"

"That... I... I don't have a mobile phone either." The researcher stammered.

"Scan your face, buddy!" Sun Hang pointed at his face, "What era is this? Haven't you opened the face-scanning payment function yet?"

"Forget it, forget it, don't embarrass him." Zhu Long smiled and came over to smooth things over, "The researcher of Tianshu Tower has a special status. Before joining, they must sign a confidentiality agreement. The information of members, especially facial recognition data, are federal secrets. Ordinary private financial institutions are not allowed to register. Even if you let him scan his face, nothing can be done."

"There is such a thing?" Sun Hang couldn't help but frowned, "Then who will make up for my lack of living expenses?"

"I'll make it up for you, I'll make it up for you." Zhu Long laughed, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a thick stack of banknotes from it and handed it to Sun Hang, "I was on vacation, and I just took out this money to spend. It's not even warm in my hands. Since you need it, you can use it first."

"Thank you very much." Sun Hang took the stack of banknotes with the smell of fresh ink without hesitation and stuffed it into his pocket.

Although he did not count how many there were, judging from the thickness, there should be at least seven or eight thousand.

"The incident has come to an end," Zhulong looked at the soldiers who were busy cleaning up the scene, "There is nothing for us to do now, how about I invite you two to a nearby tavern for a drink, would you please do me a favor?"

"I don't drink." The puppeteer whispered.

"That tavern also has non-alcoholic drinks." Zhulong said again, "In addition, their Japanese-style yakitori used to accompany the wine is also very unique, I recommend you to try it."

"I have no problem, it's up to you." Sun Hang turned his head and looked at the puppeteer.

The puppeteer nodded.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, you wait for me for a while."

After Sun Hang finished speaking, he quickly ran back to the convenience store, took out four bills from the stack of bills, and stuffed them into the shivering clerk who was hiding behind the cash register.

"The federal government should compensate for the loss of the store, this is the money for the bottle of Coke." Sun Hang said.

"Ah? Oh... what?" Holding four hundred-dollar bills, the clerk looked at Sun Hang blankly. What happened in just a few minutes was so shocking to an ordinary person that his brain hadn't yet figured it out.

"Nothing. Anyway, when your boss asks you about it, you just have to blame the federal government."
