Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 647 - 173: False Images (Part 2)
Sun Hang walked in.
There were no signs of scorching inside the passageway, and there were very few traces of a fight... Sun Hang only found a dozen bullet holes on the walls, with a few metal shell casings scattered on the ground. The caliber and number of the shell casings and bullet holes matched, indicating they were likely fired from the same handgun.
In those memory images just now, one of the two people was dragging his fallen companion while shooting behind him with a pistol. It was clear that these bullet holes and shell casings were left by that person.
"It seems that something eerie was indeed pursuing them..."
Sun Hang walked to the wall, reached out to touch the bullet holes, and then leaned in to sniff.
Apart from the unique smell of concrete in a damp environment, he didn't smell anything else.
There was no eerie residue left behind.
"What are you doing?" Yang Qi, who was closely monitoring Sun Hang's every move, couldn't help but ask.
Sun Hang looked up and saw the surveillance camera in the corner of the passageway aimed directly at him, with the red indicator light beside the camera flashing rhythmically.
"There are bullet holes on the wall," Sun Hang said.
"We already discovered that earlier," Yang Qi replied, "but besides the bullet holes, there are no other traces of a fight. Perhaps the surviving personnel stationed there encountered the humanoid entity while retreating to the vehicle bay... But the humanoid entity retained some rationale and thus did not attack the stationed personnel."
There was no blood found at the scene—considering the combat abilities of that humanoid entity, if it really intended to kill, maybe only one person from the bunker could have escaped to the end of the passage alive.
That person would be the only one capable of using the enigmatic device in the bunker, Ya Baishuang.
However, it is now basically confirmed that Ya Baishuang has become 'a part' of that humanoid entity, so this assumption holds no significance.
"How do I get to the observation room of Bunker Number One?" Sun Hang asked.
"Go straight along this passage for about fifteen meters, turn left, then walk another twenty meters, and the second door on your left is it," Yang Qi said, "There's a sign on the door that says 'Observation Room,' I think you shouldn't mistake it."
"Alright."
With Yang Qi's guidance, Sun Hang quickly arrived at the observation room.
At the entrance to the observation room, Sun Hang hesitated for a moment—it wasn't until this moment that he realized where that perpetual feeling of unease originated from... The source of this feeling was right behind this door.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you going in?" Yang Qi asked.
"The place that makes me feel uneasy is the observation room," Sun Hang said.
"There's nothing unusual in the observation room," Yang Qi said confusedly, "If you think there's a problem, I can directly send you the surveillance footage from inside the observation room... everything in there is normal now, and there are two humanoid robots standing by the equipment." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The surveillance footage of the observation room quickly streamed onto Sun Hang's phone—the phone screen might not compare with the high-resolution screens in the control room, but it was good enough to clearly see the scene inside the observation room. As Yang Qi had mentioned, all the equipment inside the observation room was functioning normally, and two of Yushu Military Technology's "H4" humanoid robots stood against the wall in an energy-saving standby mode.
"I'll go in and take a look."
After saying that, Sun Hang reached out and pushed open the door to the observation room.
The moment the door was pushed open, he felt his vision flicker for an instant.
The scene inside the observation room was identical to what he had seen in the surveillance footage, with only the two H4 robots being forcefully awakened due to an intruder—they scanned Sun Hang once to confirm his identity, then resumed their motionless standby mode.
"Are you sure the observation room is your source of discomfort?" Yang Qi confirmed with Sun Hang.
Sun Hang glanced at the surveillance footage on his phone—on the screen, he stood right in the center of the monitoring room, looking down at the phone in his hand.
He turned his head to look back at the surveillance camera on the ceiling behind him, and the image in the surveillance footage also showed him turning his head, his gaze meeting directly with the camera on the ceiling.
Just as Sun Hang felt puzzled, a long-dormant eerie meme in his body stirred inexplicably.
Sun Hang was startled—it was the meme he had absorbed from the enigmatic television entity in Dubhe Tower.
The "Unknown Containment Object No. 999."
The complexity of this entity's meme was on a completely different level compared to all the eerie entities Sun Hang had previously absorbed… If previous memes were like pixel games on NES, then the complexity of the 'Unknown Containment Object No. 999' was akin to a high-spec 3A title playable only on the latest top-tier PCs at the highest settings…
Sun Hang even momentarily wondered if its complexity was enough to rival the legendary primordial eerie entities.
Of course, complexity doesn't necessarily mean the power it grants the infected is stronger… But from another perspective, the more complex the meme, the harder it is for Sun Hang to absorb and digest, and for this reason, Sun Hang had temporarily sealed away the meme from Unknown Containment Object No. 999, intending to slowly digest it when he had more time.
But just now, the seal on Unknown Containment Object No. 999's meme unexpectedly loosened a bit, and a tiny segment from it integrated with Sun Hang's own meme fragments in an inexplicable way.
