Trickster Hunter

Chapter 261 50 cents

"Little one, are you hungry?" the "old woman" asked again.

"I'm really not hungry." Sun Hang said helplessly... Although the "old woman" in front of him seemed to be able to communicate, she was actually like a program with a set question-and-answer logic. No matter what he asked, "she" would only answer a few words.

However, considering that "she" was the first strange creature Sun Hang encountered after arriving at this place, perhaps following her would lead to some valuable discoveries...

But what if it was a trap?

What if the other party just wanted to use his curiosity to lead him to a certain place...

"I know, I know." The "old woman" suddenly sighed, her tone full of sorrow, "You young people now don't like this kind of old thing..."

Sun Hang narrowed his eyes, did not speak, and waited for the other party to continue.

This is like talking to an NPC for dozens of times with the same content, and suddenly the NPC said something that had never been said before... This probably means that the plot of the game has developed again, or the player has triggered some hidden conditions.

Sun Hang didn't dare to interrupt the other party... He was afraid that if he interrupted, the other party would return to the same repetitive lines.

The "old woman" fumbled at the bottom of the basket for a while, and finally found a wrinkled banknote and handed it to Sun Hang.

"Here, take it, buy something you like to eat..."

Sun Hang took the banknote silently. It was a 50-cent banknote that had been out of circulation many years ago... Now if the 50-cent banknote is in better condition, it can even be sold at a high price of hundreds or even thousands of times its original face value in the collection market.

"Eat well, eat enough... Eating enough is the most important thing." Seeing Sun Hang accept the banknote, the "old woman" showed a relieved smile on her wrinkled face, "Don't starve yourself."

I don't know why, after seeing through the true appearance of the "old woman", I felt a very strange feeling when looking at her again... Sun Hang couldn't help but feel a little curious. If I look at this kind smile through the mirror, what will it be like?

Driven by this curiosity, he couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror on the side.

In the rearview mirror, the old woman's smile was kind and benevolent, and those deep frowns were full of traces of years. There were yellow-brown age spots on the loose skin, and the dry lips were slightly cracked, revealing the missing front teeth.

She looked at Sun Hang as if she was looking at her grandson. In addition to kindness, there was also a hint of concern and worry between her eyebrows.

Why... this time I saw a person in the mirror instead of a weirdo?

Is it the old woman's problem, or the mirror's problem?

Or... my problem?

Sun Hang asked in his heart.

Was it the weirdo that turned into the old woman's appearance in his heart, or the old woman that turned into the weirdo's appearance in his heart.

"Eat well, don't starve yourself..." The old woman said as she turned around. At this moment, "her" reflection in the mirror turned into the bloody monster that made people sweat.

Sun Hang held the banknotes in his hand and frowned.

He sat and thought for a few seconds, then took the banknote to the mirror.

The banknote was still a banknote, but it was more worn than what he saw with his naked eyes, and there were many mold spots and stains on it.

But it was indeed a real money.

This was not some rotten meat, nor was it the "Bank of Heaven and Earth" commonly seen in supernatural works, but a banknote with a face value of 50 cents issued by the Xiazhou Federal Government in the 4621st year of the lunar calendar.

Sun Hang could even clearly feel the slightly protruding offset denomination number on the lower right corner of the banknote.

According to the purchasing power of currency in that era, 50 cents could buy a lot of things... Its value was much higher than the 50 yuan in the current "V50".

Sun Hang suddenly had a strange sense of contrast...

When he woke up in the world of human civilization, he was faced with the cold white ceiling, the pungent smell of disinfectant, and the cold beeping of medical equipment. Before he could figure out the situation, Yang Lian appeared in front of him and forced him to sign the "indenture" with a half-forced and half-threatening attitude...

But in this world outside of human civilization...this deformed, staggering flesh and blood monster was concerned about whether he was hungry..."She" gave him food and money...

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "pampering".

For a moment, Sun Hang's heart developed a resistance to the city where he had lived for less than two months.

Just staying in this place...seems not bad.

There is no war here, no intrigue for interests, no impending doomsday...

This place is like a mother's womb, dark but warm...

"Something is wrong!" Sun Hang shook his head vigorously, "What was I thinking just now?"

He took a deep breath, took out the "rice cake" and held it in front of the rearview mirror again.

The rotten meat has become inactive and no longer moves. A liquid with a bad color slowly seeps out from the inside of the rotten meat.

Sun Hang is not sure what changes will happen to his body if he eats this thing.

Before, Sun Hang would have absorbed this thing that was 100% from a monster without hesitation... But now, he was not sure whether he, who had lost all his abilities, still had resistance to the meme.

Maybe after swallowing this piece of rotten meat, the infection process would suddenly break through the dangerous threshold... As for whether he would eventually become a monster or a skeleton; or stop breathing on the seat and eventually turn into a pool of blood...

No one knew.

Sun Hang could not feel the breath of any monster, whether it was on the "old woman" or on this piece of rotten meat that looked very dangerous.

What is real and what is fake?

Sun Hang suddenly felt a little hungry... He couldn't help but laugh at himself. This disgusting piece of rotten meat was right in front of him, but his appetite was not affected at all...

Is this proof that the gluttonous meme existed in him?

Sun Hang put down the container, took out a disinfectant wipe and wiped his hands carefully, then wrapped his hands in a clean plastic bag and took out a piece of compressed biscuit.

His hands had come into direct contact with the rotten meat, and he was not sure whether the disinfectant wipes that could kill most bacteria and viruses could eliminate the memes that might be contaminated on his hands, but under the conditions, it was always right to take better protective measures.

The "monster" in the rearview mirror was getting farther and farther away. Sun Hang sighed and made up his mind secretly-after he finished eating this compressed biscuit, he would drive behind "her" to see where "she" was going.

After tearing open the package, Sun Hang took a big bite of the compressed biscuit and chewed it hard... But as he chewed, he suddenly felt that the taste in his mouth was very strange. Not only was it difficult to swallow, but it also made him want to vomit.

Sun Hang had eaten compressed biscuits before, but he had never eaten such unpalatable compressed biscuits... Even if this pack of compressed biscuits had expired for a while, it shouldn't be so unpalatable.

He felt that what he was chewing was not like a biscuit, but a sticky mass of rotten meat.

"Pooh."

Sun Hang spit out the things in his mouth.

This was a ball of biscuit crumbs stained with saliva, mixed with dried fruit crumbs of various colors.

Sun Hang slowly passed the biscuit crumbs to the mirror.

The biscuit crumbs were still biscuit crumbs, and had not turned into rotten meat.
