Trickster Hunter

Chapter 264 Prisoner

Tianfu City, Research Institute of Creatures, War Conference Room.

"In other words, according to Sun Hang's last driving trajectory, he most likely drove all the way to the southwest, passed through the Hengduan Mountains, and entered the Yundian occupied area..." Yang Qi looked at the intermittent trajectory map on the screen and frowned. Mei analyzed.

"Get me an exit permit." Wang Xiyi said without hesitation, "I will go to the occupied area and bring him back!"

"Ye Fury, don't worry. We're not sure yet whether Sun Hang has really entered the occupied area." Yang Lian said, "Has there been any news from the border post on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains?"

"Just the news, Border Post No. 197 and Border Post No. 198 in the Hengduan Mountains have lost contact. According to the images taken by the drone, there are traces of fighting near the posts. It is not yet certain whether it was Sun Hang who did it..." Song Yarong knocked away. The door of the combat conference room burst in. "In addition, Posts 195, 196 and 199 were attacked by EMP from unknown sources. All communication equipment was paralyzed, so the news could not be transmitted back."

"Do you think it was Sun Hang who attacked those outposts?" Wang Xiyi glanced at the other people's faces one by one and asked in a bad tone.

"Whether he did it or not, we have to wait for the results of the on-site investigation to come out, and the search and rescue of survivors will also start simultaneously." Ye Xuan said seriously, "Before there is any evidence, he is the person with the greatest suspicion."

"I'm still very curious about what made that guy Sun Hang so crazy... He didn't even leave us a message and just rushed into the occupied area... Is he tired of living?" Yang Lian asked doubtfully. She said, holding a touch screen pen between her two fingers, tapping the edge of the tablet mechanically, completely unaware that the paint surface had been damaged in several places.

"Yang Qi, since you are a researcher at Tianfu City's Institute of Occult Studies, you should have heard of 'that phenomenon', right?" Ye Xuan suddenly said to Yang Qi.

There was no expression on her face, but there was a complicated look in her eyes.

"You mean...'that'?"

"Well..." After looking at each other and Yang Qi, Ye Xuan nodded slowly, "A small number of infected people will have an extremely strong sense of loneliness and loneliness in human society after their infection process deepens. A sense of alienation... They will have a longing for the 'meme matrix' that infects them or similar monsters. When this situation develops in the later stage, most of them will try to escape from the human world and enter the occupied area... Apart from the above symptoms, they appear to be no different from normal hunters.”

Ye Xuan paused and continued: "This phenomenon is called 'migration' in academic circles."

"But until Sun Hang's bracelet was removed, his infection process did not change!" Wang Xiyi retorted.

"We can't always trust the equipment forever..."

Before Ye Xuan finished speaking, Wang Xiyi interrupted her coldly: "If you don't trust the equipment, do you want me to trust you?"

"I'm not here to argue with you. There's no point in arguing." Ye Xuan said calmly, "If you feel that arguing will help solve the problem, please do so."

Wang Xiyi hesitated to speak. After taking three deep breaths, she said to Yang Qi: "I need an exit permit, now, immediately, immediately!"

"We are all in a hurry...but..."

Before Yang Qi finished speaking, the door of the combat conference room was pushed open again.

The old director entered the conference room in an electric wheelchair. He glanced at Wang Xiyi and nodded with a smile: "There will be an exit permit, but before that, you need to go to Chunming City to pick up someone."

"Picking someone up? Who?" Wang Xiyi was stunned and asked doubtfully.

"A special prisoner detained in Tianshu Tower Special Prison, former temporary investigator, Li Junwen." The old director said unhurriedly, "At the same time, he is also the only one in the human world who is in the occupied area. Those who stayed longer than seven days and returned safely to civilization.”

"This is his file." The old director placed a folder on the table.

Yang Qi opened the folder.

…

Li Junwen, male, 46 years old.

Birthplace: Xiasha District, Qiantang City.

In the year 4698 of the Chinese calendar, he was arrested for intentional homicide and sentenced to forty-five years in prison.

In the second year of his sentence, he signed an agreement with the Qiantang City Management Committee and the Qiantang City Anomaly Investigation Bureau to serve for three years as a temporary investigator to offset the remaining sentence.

This deal seems to be a good deal, exchanging three years for forty-four years, but in fact, in the profession of temporary investigator, let alone three years, there are very few people who can work for a full year...

As for places like Baikal where monsters rarely appear, they will not recruit temporary investigators in prisons... and in any city-state that recruits people in prisons, the tasks that temporary investigators there will definitely not be done. There will be less.

But Li Junwen is a special case. Not only did he survive to complete all the tasks assigned to him in three years, but on the day when the three years expired, he gave up the opportunity to become a regular player and chose to retire.

Taking the retirement pay given to him by the Anomaly Investigation Bureau, which was not generous but definitely quite large, he opened a small supermarket in Qiantang City.

But he didn’t know if fate played a joke on him. Not long after he retired, he often felt a dull pain in his abdomen. When he went to the hospital for a checkup, he was immediately diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer, and his expected survival time was less than two months. .

During his three years of service, Li Junwen had brushed shoulders with death countless times, but this time, death stood in front of him and he had no way to avoid it.

After leaving the hospital, he closed his small supermarket and gave all the remaining goods in the supermarket to the elderly in the community. After doing all this, he began to wander around Qiantang City, trying to find the meaning of his life in the last moments...

But during this time, he heard that there was a corrupt member of the Qiantang City Management Committee who colluded with local gangs, bullied men and women, and bullied the people. Many people dared not speak out and could only curse this person in private...

After learning about this, Li Junwen instantly had a goal.

He knew he was dying, but before he died, perhaps he could do something big.

Something that would make him famous in history.

Relying on the skills he learned in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, he planned a meticulous assassination plan in just one week...

He succeeded.

When the committee member drove to the management committee building, the time bomb attached to the bottom of the car blew the whole car up into the sky.

There were at least more than a thousand witnesses at the explosion site.

Li Junwen did not escape, but walked out of the crowd directly, walked to the wreckage of the car that was still burning, and announced to everyone that he was the murderer.

So far, Li Junwen was arrested again.

But Li Junwen never expected that fate would play a bigger joke on him this time.

The committee member he killed was not the kind of unforgivable bastard he had heard of. On the contrary, this person had an extremely clean style of conduct. After taking office, he vigorously carried out various actions to eliminate gangs and eliminate evil... In this process, he offended many people-but those he offended were the real bad guys.

Li Junwen realized at this time that he was used. Those people deceived him. They took advantage of Li Junwen's tight schedule and lack of time to carefully verify the authenticity of the rumors, and used him to get rid of the committee member.

As for those who "complained" to Li Junwen during the investigation, they either received bribes from the gang or were peripheral members of the gang.

And the most devastating thing for Li Junwen was yet to come.

After being imprisoned, the prison conducted a comprehensive physical examination on him again - his pancreatic cancer was a misdiagnosis, and the disease he actually suffered from was just bile duct inflammation.

Li Junwen went crazy. He madly hit the walls and iron doors of the detention room with his head, forcing the prison to transfer him to a special cell with soft-packed walls, floors and even ceilings.

The trial result came out soon, without a doubt - death penalty, to be executed in two days.

Li Junwen calmed down. He stopped hitting the wall with his head, but squatted in the corner of the cell without saying a word.

The day before the execution, he escaped from prison.

No one knew how he pried open the cell door. The surveillance camera in the corridor only saw him push open the cell door and walk out, knocking out the guard standing outside with one blow, and then quickly ran out of the surveillance range.

I have to say, this is a ruthless man.

In the case of a city-wide search, he ran to the territory of the gang that used him and killed the gang leader. Then he found those who had deceived him one by one and pulled out all their tongues.

It took him four hours to do all this, and then he fled Qiantang City overnight, rushing west along an abandoned road.

The last large-scale arrest of Li Junwen was launched in Shuzhou. Li Junwen, who had been chased by the sheriffs for three whole days, had nowhere to go and went into the Hengduan Mountains and stepped into the "occupied area" regarded as a human restricted area.

The arrest operation was declared over, and no one thought he could survive in the occupied area... Even if he could survive, it would not be as a "human".

On the morning of January 1, 4703 in the lunar calendar, just as the entire Xiazhou Federation was welcoming the arrival of the New Year, an uninvited guest came to the 055th outpost in the Hengduan Mountains.

The soldiers at the outpost were still eating glutinous rice balls when they saw this wild-looking guy appear on the surveillance screen at the door.

He knocked hard on the big iron door of the outpost and said in a hoarse voice: "I am Li Junwen, I am here to surrender."

Li Junwen, who had disappeared for four months, returned to the civilized world again. This incident instantly caused a stir in all circles... Before the people from the Qiantang City Public Security Bureau even had time to rush to Shuzhou, the special commissioner of Tianshu Tower had already brought him back to Chunming City.

Since then, Li Junwen has been "detained" in the special cell tailored for him by Tianshu Tower until today.

...

"Did he really stay in the occupied area for four months?" Yang Lian asked in disbelief.

"According to him, that's right." The old director nodded. "In fact, when he fled into the Hengduan Mountains, the border troops organized a large-scale search of the mountains. It was not until they found that his footprints extended all the way into the occupied area that the search was stopped."

"When he came back... was he still a human? After staying in the occupied area for four months, didn't he get infected?" Yang Lian asked again.

"I'm more curious about how far he walked in the occupied area and what he encountered in those four months." Yang Qi murmured.

"These things are the top secrets of the Tianshu Tower. If you are interested, it's best to ask him in person." The old director said.

"You asked me to pick this person up, so you want him to be your guide and take me into the occupied area?" Wang Xiyi quickly reacted.

"Although Tianshu Tower has approved it, whether you can convince this person depends on your ability. We can't force him to take you into the occupied area - but within its capacity, Tianshu Tower will try its best to meet his conditions, which is also your bargaining chip with him."

"Is this guy so awesome?" Ye Jiu, who had been left aside and couldn't get a word in, said, "Even Tianshu Tower can only 'negotiate' with him?"

"After he came back from the occupied area, his mental state has not been normal." The old director sighed, "He is a very precious specimen. In order to protect him, Tianshu Tower did not take any tough measures against him. measures... the so-called detention only restricted his personal freedom to a certain extent. "

"Humph, I think he is probably pretending to be crazy." Ye Jiu snorted coldly, "Maybe he just wandered around the edge of the occupied area for a while, and after seeing the people who were searching for him leave, he sneaked back and hid in the mountains. At that time, drones were not popular. Who knows if he really stayed in the occupied area for four months. In my opinion, this kind of person will be honest after a beating!"

"Brother, if you don't want to be scolded by your father, I suggest you shut up." Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Jiu coldly and said.

"The Tianshu Tower didn't take tough measures against him, but that doesn't mean I can't, right?" Wang Xiyi sorted out the files, put them back in the folder, stared at the old director with a sharp look and asked.

"I don't know, don't ask me, and don't say I taught you to do it if you cause any trouble." The old director turned around while controlling the electric wheelchair, and took out a cigarette from somewhere and put it in his mouth.

"The helicopter to Chunming City is parked on the rooftop helipad and will take off in fifteen minutes." After saying this, the old director pushed his wheelchair out of the combat meeting room.

"Okay, I got it." Wang Xiyi sighed and stuffed the folder into her backpack.

"I'll go with you." Yang Qi said.

"And me, and me." Ye Jiule came up, "I'm also curious about what kind of person this is... It's just right that I'm going home on the way."
