Trickster Hunter

Chapter 311 "Matryoshka Doll"

A burst of sharp laughter suddenly came from the earphones. The laughter was so harsh that for a moment, the three of them thought their eardrums had been torn.

"What the hell, what kind of sonic attack?" Lilith quickly turned off the radio function of the Bluetooth headset, while Ling Xiao beside her had already bent over and started vomiting.

Fortunately, he didn't eat anything except an energy gel before going on the mission, so what he vomited out was relatively clear and watery. However, stimulated by the surge of stomach acid, there was a burning sensation in the esophagus. , making Ling Xiao cough uncontrollably.

"Water...is there any water?" Ling Xiao asked while coughing.

"Water? Yes?" Lilith nodded, "It's just...do you dare to drink the water in the other world?"

Ling Xiao immediately stopped talking. He covered his throat with his hands and took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort.

"Why can't you drink the water in the other world?" Jiang Yu looked at Lilith, then at Ling Xiao, and asked with some confusion.

"Not only water, but in fact, anything in the world, the less interaction between you and it, the better." Lilith said, "I said before that I could take these devices out, but in fact I just opened a fire with you. Just a joke."

"Ah? Why is this?" Jiang Yu was even more confused, "Is there anything wrong with the things in the other world?"

"Copies are copies after all, and if these things that shouldn't exist are brought back to the watch world through bugs, guess what will happen?"

"What will happen?" Jiang Yu asked along.

"There was a comic four years ago called "Three Days of Horror in the Other World"... I think Ling Xiao should have read it, right?" Lilith asked.

Ling Xiao nodded.

"The second female lead in that comic brought a diamond necklace from the inner world back to the outside world, but the next day, she was strangled to death by that necklace." Lilith shrugged, "That's right. The necklace that shouldn't exist in the outside world turned into a monster, and opened the passage to the inner world that had been closed by the protagonist, releasing a lot of monsters," Lilith said.

"But isn't that a comic?"

"Of course ordinary people will think that this is just a fictional plot by the comic author, but as a hunter, I know that this comic is adapted from a real story... because under the vest of the comic author, there is actually a mysterious creature The hunter is also a monster hunter I know," Lilith said.

"Then if we take the things here out, will they turn into monsters?"

"I don't know. If you have received formal hunter training, you should know that the characteristics of monsters are not universal. Even an identical meme fragment will show different characteristics in the bodies of different monsters. Characteristics. So, I can't give you an accurate answer." Lilith sighed, "In short, it's better to avoid bugs... Be careful and you will become part of the bug. "

"Ahem...I'm fine now." Ling Xiao said suddenly, "Let's continue listening to the next channel."

"Are you really okay?" Jiang Yu glanced at Ling Xiao with some worry - she and Lilith were both hunters, and their physical fitness was much stronger than that of Ling Xiao, an ordinary person, but even so, the harsh smile just now The sound made Jiang Yu extremely uncomfortable. One can imagine how seriously Ling Xiao was affected.

"I'll just plug my ears." Ling Xiao took out two hemostatic cotton balls from the personal emergency medical bag and stuffed them into his ears. "If the situation is not right, I will plug my ears tightly."

"You kid, I find it quite pleasing to my eye." Lilith suddenly smiled at Ling Xiao, then turned to look at Jiang Yu, "What's the relationship between you two?"

"What's the relationship?" Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, obviously not responding.

"She and I are colleagues. We are both interns in the 67th field team, so we can also be regarded as teammates." Ling Xiao said.

"In other words, it doesn't even count as a 'partner'?" Lilith's eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, "Well, give me your teammates, and I will give you satisfactory compensation."

"I'll give it to you... what does this mean?" Jiang Yu now feels like she has one head and two heads - ever since she met this hunter named Lilith, she feels that her way of thinking seems to be different from the other person's. On the same channel, even the content of the conversation is always being controlled by the other party.

"I like him, I want him to be my partner - a very close and intimate partner." Lily said without any secret, "If we can get out alive, I will ask Tianshu Tower and Tianfu City for help." I submitted a report to the Institute of Physiology... I just think that before I do this, it might be more polite to ask for your opinion?"

"Do you like...Ling Xiao?" Even Jiang Yu himself didn't know why his cheeks felt slightly hot after hearing Lilith say these words.

Shouldn't the blushing person be this red-haired witch? Why are you blushing?

"Although there is a suspicion of old cows eating young grass... little boys will eventually grow up and become men." Lilith continued to say with a smile, "And I, I will not age. I am twenty years old now. , I will still be twenty years later.”

As she said that, she suddenly winked at Ling Xiao: "How about you, are you interested in becoming my sister's partner? My sister rarely invites others on her own initiative~"

"It's time to play the next frequency band." Ling Xiao repeated expressionlessly.

"Hey...this is the character I like, sister!" Lilith smiled and pressed the play button.

What was heard outside in the 333.3MHz frequency band was intermittent gasping sounds...but now, there were some "weird" subtle sounds coming from Lilith's Bluetooth headset.

Although Jiang Yu has never been married or had a boyfriend, there is a saying that goes well, "Have you never seen a pig run before you have eaten pork?"... In just a few seconds, Jiang Yu had already heard it. What was going on in the audio made her cheeks, which were already slightly red, suddenly turn red to the base of her ears.

"Interesting, interesting..." Lilith clapped her hands gently, "This makes me feel a little excited...Brother Ling Xiao, do you know the source of this gasping sound, and what are you doing at this time?"

"Reproduction." Ling Xiao said without changing his expression.

"That word is used to describe animals... it should be used for people..."

"Humans are animals too." Ling Xiao interrupted her, "I think we should be vigilant. If the monster has the ability to reproduce, we may face multiple enemies next."

"You can still think about things in this way under such circumstances. Should I praise you for your clear thinking, or complain about your emotional dullness?" Lilith murmured softly.

"I have no emotions." Ling Xiao said, "If the monster is reproducing, it may be a good opportunity for us to attack it."

"But it's a pity that the ones that can be found on the radio are probably just recordings." Lilith shrugged.

"No, all the sounds we heard, whether they were murmurs or laughter, were happening right now." Ling Xiao said seriously.

"What did you say?" Lilith put away her teasing expression, "Seriously?"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Did you feel it with your ability?" Lilith asked again.

Ling Xiao hesitated for half a second, then nodded.

Jiang Yu finally managed to keep up with the two people's thoughts this time, and asked urgently: "Does that mean that there is more than one monster attacking Factory 105... One of them is crying, and the other is laughing. , one is talking about revenge, and the other is... doing that kind of thing? "

"No, it should be the same one." Ling Xiao said.

"You perceive more than one layer of the inner world, right?" Lilith asked Ling Xiao seriously.

"yes."

"Damn, it's a nesting doll type of other world!" Lilith suddenly said a curse word, "Our luck is so damn good!"

"What is... a matryoshka doll?" Jiang Yu asked weakly.

"There are many recorded events in the inner world. Among them, the most complex and difficult type of inner world is the 'matryoshka doll' kind of inner world. This kind of inner world is like a Russian matryoshka doll, with layers nested within each other. ...The most terrible thing is that you don't know how many times you are in it...When you pass through the 'passage', it is difficult to determine whether you are going out or going deeper. "

"Ah..." Jiang Yu opened her mouth slightly, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"What's even more terrible is that the monster that created the other world usually has hundreds of millions of special abilities in its other world...or to put it more bluntly, 'privileges'." Lilith sighed. He said, "From what Ling Xiao noticed, I can initially judge that one of the abilities of this strange thing is that it can leave a projection in the world on every level."

"Projection... does it mean shadow?" Jiang Yu asked nervously.

"Rather than saying it is a shadow, it is more appropriate to say it is a copy." Lilith pointed to the equipment not far away, "These things are also projections of the surface world. Do you think they are shadows?"

"Isn't there as many layers of worlds... as there are copies of that weird thing?"

"Theoretically, that's the case, and what Ling Xiao just said is right...if one of the clones is 'mating,' in addition to these clones, we may have to face a large number of offspring." Lilith clicked her tongue and continued, "I thought it was a three-on-one group fight... I didn't expect that we were the unlucky ones who were beaten by a group."

"But...are these projections attached to the other world?" Jiang Yu suddenly said, "If the other world can be destroyed, will these projections also disappear?"

"It's a genius idea, but it's a pity that we can't do it." Lilith spread her hands helplessly, "With our ability, it would take a lot of effort to raze this factory to the ground. It would take a lot of effort to destroy it." In the whole world, do you think this is possible?”

"this……"

"Right now, within the Federation, there are not a hundred but eighty recorded worlds, but for these worlds, the federal methods are basically blockades... Why don't you think the Federation destroyed all these worlds? Don't you want to?" Lilith complained.

"Those other worlds...how did the Federation deal with them in the past?"

"How to deal with it? Send hunters in and get rid of the weird things inside. It's over."

Lilith continued: "As long as there are no fools who rush into the inner world without the control of the monster, basically nothing will happen... Only a very small number of inner world federations in a very unstable state will spend a lot of effort to completely destroy it. The rest... will either be used as an experimental area by the Tianshu Tower, or the surrounding areas will be blocked, and then marked with a name of "XX restricted area", and the files will be stored in the database, and the corresponding countermeasures team can be disbanded to enjoy the holiday."

"Then our goal is to eliminate the monster..."

Jiang Yu was interrupted by Lilith halfway through his words: "The inner world of the nesting doll type is the most troublesome... First, no one knows how many layers of this nesting doll are; second, the more layers there are, the larger the total space of the inner world is, and the more troublesome it is to clean up the monsters hidden in it... Third, the inner world of the nesting doll type requires a large number of hunters to clean up, and these hunters who enter the inner world are easy to get lost in it... Over time, these lost hunters may even become unstable factors themselves... become a threat."

"Become a weird corpse?" Jiang Yu couldn't help asking.

"It's okay if it turns into a skeleton... I'm afraid that the hunter whose consciousness collapses will directly merge with the inner world. In this case, the only way to eliminate the threat is to completely destroy the inner world." Lilith said.

"How to destroy it?"

"Ultra-super-super-large nuclear weapons... I don't know exactly how many are needed. I only remember that more than 30 years ago, in order to destroy an inner world, the Federation directly emptied two of the three major nuclear warhead warehouses... It seems that the number is not enough, and then a batch of additional nuclear warheads were urgently transferred from various places." Lilith said, "Although this news may not be accurate, you just need to know that it is very difficult to completely erase an inner world by physical means."

Just when the two women were chatting enthusiastically, Ling Xiao, who had been squatting next to them and thinking, suddenly said: "Lilith, can you play each frequency band in turn? I think, maybe I can find the projection of the layer we are in now."

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Lilith's eyes lit up: "Damn! Why didn't I think of it just now!"

"What didn't you think of?" The honest Jiang Yu continued to play the role of the supporting role.

"We can use the clarity of the sound to determine which frequency band of the sound comes from the level we are in!" Lilith said excitedly.
