Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 455 - 72: Daughter of God (Part 2)

The group of white coats on the side hurriedly pushed over a pile of instruments to give Sun Hang a comprehensive examination. Yuri glanced at the cut-open containment room remains and asked in a low voice, "Even though I've already guessed the answer... I'm still curious, how exactly did you do it?"

"It's simple," Sun Hang blinked, "Speaking of which, it was Yi Si Er San that gave me the inspiration."

"Yi Si Er San? Inspiration?" Yuri was slightly stunned, "Are you referring to... the depressurization cup?"

"Yes, letting the energy of the Kui Niu expand would blow up the containment room, but you can't direct this rampant energy outside through a relief valve... so I thought of the way you handled Yi Si Er San." Sun Hang said, "I guided the energy to continuously circle within the containment room; it circled and circled, gradually calming down, and was finally absorbed bit by bit by the outer wall of the containment room."

In theory, after acquiring the abilities of the Kui Niu, Sun Hang could take these energies for himself... but his physical strength was still far inferior to the remains of the Kui Niu. Absorbing such a massive power into his body so recklessly would only turn him into a walking human bomb.

Since he couldn't absorb it, the only way was to channel it—Sun Hang guided the energy flow so that it wouldn't directly impact the outer wall of the containment room, and during this circling process, he continually "refined" the energy, removing the impurities... When this energy storm was left with only a small, mild "trickle," it had become extremely pure, and Sun Hang naturally devoured this refined essence without hesitation.

"So that's how it is..." Yuri nodded solemnly, "In theory, the strength of the containment room and the external reinforcement works can absorb the energy impact within those three remains... but if the destructive power of the impact is hard to quantify, the same unit of energy released over ten seconds and ten minutes would create two completely different states... At the previous release speed, not to mention the place we're standing now, even the extent of your vision might have been razed to the ground."

"Alright, let these young guys clean up this mess here; let's proceed to devour Yi Si Er San." Sun Hang said.

"Now?!" Yuri's figure paused for a moment, "You just digested the meme of the Kui Niu, don't you need to rest a bit?"

"I already rested, didn't I?" Sun Hang said, "It took you almost four hours to cut open this thing; do you think I wasn't resting during those four hours, what was I doing then? Doing push-ups inside?"

"But the Kui Niu, after all, is a supernatural entity ranked in the top ten... Even if its meme is initially digested, if you haven't completely adapted, there's always the possibility of backlash, and devouring other supernatural entities under these circumstances would significantly increase the chances of backlash, even causing the entire meme sequence to become chaotic and collapse... Why not wait a bit longer?" Yuri advised.

"Will the Kui Niu meme backlash?" Sun Hang looked at the researcher conducting the examination beside him, "Will it?"

"...Uh, according to the test results, the parts of the meme belonging to the Kui Niu have already perfectly integrated into your meme sequence." The researcher hesitated for a moment, then continued, "How to put it... I've never seen such a perfect, natural integration state; it's as though it were always a part of your meme sequence..."

"What?" Before Sun Hang had spoken, Yuri had already leaped to the front of the apparatus, pulling the screen fastened on the mechanical arm closer, staring intently at the curves and data that Sun Hang couldn't understand.

Yuri stared at the screen for a full five minutes before taking a deep breath, looking at Sun Hang with eyes as if seeing a monster.

"It really is... almost... no, there's no 'almost,' it's a perfect fit." Yuri said to Sun Hang, "The chances of backlash and adverse mutation are... zero."

"Then can you take me to Yi Si Er San now?" Sun Hang asked again. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"...Of course you can."

Chunming City's outskirts, Abnormal Ability Management Department, temporary dormitory.

Having just finished washing up, Ling Xiao placed his shoes neatly by the bed, then stuffed his socks into the shoe openings, and immediately climbed into bed.

But just as he pressed the bedside lamp switch, his entire body tensed, jumping off the bed instantly, standing barefoot on the blankets, and drew out the short sword, "Reed," strapped to the inside of his left arm.

The room did not turn dark after the lights were off, a faint white phosphorescence became the new source of light in the room. A girl, describable only as perfect, stood quietly in the corner, watching the poised-for-attack Ling Xiao with a smile.

"You seem to have... grown quite a bit?" The girl spoke first.

"What exactly are you?" Ling Xiao asked, pausing between each word.

"I say I'm a god." The girl's smile widened, "Aren't you... entirely convinced of that?"

"What's your purpose in contacting me?" Ling Xiao asked again.

"Must a god's actions be explained to a mortal?" The girl's eyes turned quizzical, "Or rather, can a mortal even comprehend a god's intentions?"

"Since comprehension is impossible, I can only eliminate you." Ling Xiao gripped the blade of "Reed" with his left hand, pulling gently. Instantly, the area between his thumb and forefinger and his palm were cut open, and the blood that flowed was promptly absorbed by "Reed."

A wisp of bone-chilling flame ignited upon "Reed's" blade.

"You seem to have quite a strong hostility towards me?" The girl remarked.

"I don't like gods, nor things that claim to be gods." Ling Xiao stated.

Though he claimed he didn't like them, his tone revealed none of the emotions of disgust, as if he were merely stating a simple fact.

"Since I was very young, I decided, if I ever get the chance, I will slay a god."

"A grand ambition, though it's a pity, too grand, unreachable." The girl chuckled, "Since you want to slay a god, there's one right around you, why not start with him?"

"..." Ling Xiao stared intently at the girl, legs slightly bent, poised to leap forward.

He didn't even try to stop the bleeding, allowing the blood to drip onto the bedding, spreading into dark red stains.

"You might have misunderstood, I wasn't referring to myself as the one beside you..." The girl paused, then continued, "It's... Sun Hang."

Ling Xiao's pupils subtly shook, but only subtly.

The benefit of having no emotions is not losing the ability to think due to shock, so Ling Xiao immediately asked, "Why should I trust your words."

"Because... I'm his daughter." The girl said.

"Sun Hang's... daughter?" Ling Xiao squinted his eyes, "You're lying."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself." The girl extended a slender finger, pointing at "Reed" clenched tightly in Ling Xiao's hand, and with a gentle tap, the cold flame on the sword instantly extinguished. "Since you respect Sun Hang so much, don't hold such a great hostility towards me."

"Sun Hang isn't here, so I still can't trust your words."

"I don't expect you to trust me... I came to help him test your abilities." The girl laughed again, "Of course, you are no match for me, fighting me is meaningless... I've brought you a... suitable opponent."
