Trickster Hunter

Chapter 176 Ghost

The struggle of the deep-sea worms gradually became weaker. Sun Hang pulled out the worm bodies that had penetrated into his body one by one, and the blood holes that looked creepy quickly disappeared after the worm bodies were pulled out. It healed as before, not even a scar was left.

The entire car was filled with blood. Some of the blood came from Sun Hang, but most of it came from the dying deep-sea worms.

Or rather, from the hunters they killed.

In those vague memory fragments, Xin Jiuwu was only a ball the size of a fist, contained inside a cylindrical transparent container.

This container is usually immersed in a liquid nitrogen pool at minus 196 degrees Celsius... As for the other strange objects contained in the liquid nitrogen pool, Sun Hang couldn't remember it for a while.

He estimated that only after seeing the corresponding "real object" would the memories related to it gradually revive.

"It seems that this trip is right." Sun Hang said to himself.

He rubbed his nose, and the car was filled with a disgusting and strong smell of blood. Xin Jiuwu had just had a big meal not long ago, and his body had swelled to such an extent.

Sun Hang felt as if he had killed countless blood-sucking mosquitoes. The blood that covered the car was not mosquito blood at all, but human blood.

The meme of the deep sea worm has been completely assimilated by Xin Jiuwu, but from another perspective, Xin Jiuwu has also been imprisoned by the body of the deep sea worm - the parasitic time has been too long, so that Xin Jiuwu It has also become completely accustomed to this body. When it was swallowed by Sun Hang, it did not even choose to abandon the deep-sea worm's body at the first time and transform into a spirit body to escape.

It was this moment of hesitation that completely lost the chance of escape.

After absorbing Xin Jiuwu's memes, Sun Hang always had an indescribable feeling... He felt as if he had recovered a part of his own power. That familiar feeling was not like It was a meme from an alien creature, but it was as if his own meme had been extracted from his body and then reintroduced into his body.

He didn't gain any new abilities, but his "blue bar" increased a lot.

"Strange... so strange..." This very familiar feeling, but he couldn't tell where it was familiar, made Sun Hang a little irritated. He wiped the blood on his face and lowered the car to the ground again. Second floor.

Facing him were the dark muzzle of the gun in Yano's hand and the bright short knife in the fisherman's hand.

"Eh?" The fisherman was stunned, "That weird thing...is dead?"

"Dead." Sun Hang reached out and took down a shriveled insect corpse hanging on his shoulder, and threw it on the ground.

"You... how did you do that?" The fisherman's eyes widened and he asked stuttering, "I saw it jump on you with my own eyes... I, I thought you were going to die!"

"It's very simple, just disembowel these insects." Sun Hang said disapprovingly.

"Open... disembowel it? But didn't you say it was a spiritual creature?"

"Do you believe that humans have souls?" Sun Hang asked instead.

"Huh? Why do you ask?"

"Don't worry about it for now, just answer me."

"I didn't believe it before... but after becoming a monster hunter and knowing that there are spiritual monsters, I started to believe it a little bit." The fisherman replied.

"Then you, since you have a soul, then I will disembowel you, do you think you will die or not?" Sun Hang rolled his eyes at him and asked.

"Uh... OK, it seems that's true." The fisherman murmured, being completely surrounded.

"That's not right." Yano on the side suddenly reacted, "To Xin Jiuwu, the deep-sea worm is just a body. When the body is fatally attacked, it can abandon the body and escape in the spirit state! "

"It has occupied the bodies of these deep-sea worms for so long that it mistakenly thought it was a group of deep-sea worms." Sun Hang said.

"Is there such a thing?" Yano was stunned, and quickly took out his notebook and wrote it down.

"My guess... Xin Jiuwu's spirit body couldn't escape anyway." Sun Hang said, "I can feel that when I kill these deep-sea worms, their breath also dies."

That's what he said on the surface, but the feeling that Xin Jiuwu gave him was obviously different from the Xin Jiuwu that appeared in his memory fragments.

This difference does not refer to the difference in body shape, but an inexplicable feeling... It is as if Xin Jiuwu was contaminated by something, and it was this "contamination" that caused Sun Hang to develop That familiar feeling.

The only way to solve this mystery is to hunt another monster to see if all the monsters on the Nameless Island have been "contaminated" by this kind of thing.

Sun Hang walked straight forward, and the fisherman and Yano immediately followed him.

"Where are we going now?" the fisherman asked, "continue to follow the red fingerprint light?"

"Yeah, but I have to find a place to wash up. I smell too much and it affects my mood a bit." Sun Hang said.

In addition to the blood stains, his whole body was covered with rotting liquid secreted from the surface of deep-sea worms. This liquid is quite corrosive. If Tai Sui's recovery speed was not faster than the corrosive speed of these rotting liquids, Sun Hang's body was already a bloody mess.

He remembered clearly that when he got out of the elevator, less than a hundred meters away, there was a dormitory for lower-level researchers. There was a bathing place in the dormitory.

Since there is no power outage in the ruins, there is no reason to cut off the water supply.

…

Twenty minutes later, dormitory No. 4, public bathroom.

After rinsing his whole body, Sun Hang put on a uniform that the researchers left in the dormitory back then. It must be said that the treatment given to these researchers by the two major federations was quite good. This uniform has been lying in the cabinet for more than 100 years. Year, except for the white fabric being slightly yellowed, it was not oxidized at all. Its quality was much better than Lao Wang's wardrobe full of street stall goods.

Wearing a white coat, Sun Hang suddenly had another illusion...as if he traveled back more than a hundred years and became a researcher working at the Wuming Island Research Institute...

Wait, something seems wrong.

Sun Hang recalled the memories he had previously recovered. When he shifted his attention from the people and things around him to himself, he realized the problem.

In those memory fragments, he could glimpse a scene from the institute a hundred years ago, but in that scene, he was not there.

It's a bit like a God's perspective in the game, but not quite...

Sun Hang felt like a ghost, a ghost in the literal sense.
