Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 36 Bleeding Soil

Listening to the other party's description, Sun Hang felt that something was stirring deep in his mind - it was the memory fragment he had just absorbed from the three saints, but it was forcibly blocked by Sun Hang in the first place.

The memory fragments of that girl alone had already made him a little dazed. If the memory fragments of three people came up at the same time, that sense of confusion and loss would absolutely be a devastating blow to Sun Hang's self-awareness.

Sun Hang originally had very few memories that "belonged to him". Now, with a lot of memories from other people that were extremely real, it was easy for him to doubt himself...

Who am I? Sun Hang? Han Ying? A "saint"? Or a member of a cult that believes in "Tai Sui Ye"?

Rather than facing this risk, Sun Hangning could choose to seal up these memory fragments... and then contact them again after his self-awareness is solid enough.

"You two, and you two." Sun Hang pointed to two more sturdy believers, "Take your tools and follow me downstairs."

……

Behind this residential building, there is a vacant lot of about 200 square meters. It was originally a green belt in the community, but due to the unfinished project, not to mention green plants, even the most basic drainage system has not been built. The original path for people to pass has long been covered with mud. Sun Hang can fully imagine how messy this place would become on rainy days.

"Where was the location where the saint dug last time?" Sun Hang asked the two women.

The two of them pointed at the center of the open space at the same time.

In a cheap residential area like this, the land area is very limited and the distance between buildings has been compressed to the extreme. This piece of land sandwiched between two residential buildings receives almost no sunlight. The surface of the mud and the base of the walls of the two buildings are covered with a layer of moss of varying thickness. Only the place where the two people pointed out had a very clean surface, and it indeed looked like it had been turned over recently.

"You two, go dig up the soil over there." Sun Hang directed the other two male believers who were holding shovels.

“I… we don’t dare…” The two male believers shook their heads with bitter faces, “Only Saint Lord can communicate with Tai Sui. The rest of us don’t have that ability. If we offend Tai Sui… I’m afraid, I’m afraid…”

"Are you afraid of 'Tai Sui'?" Sun Hang asked.

Not only the two men, but also the two women beside them nodded repeatedly: "There was a believer in the past who wanted to leave the sect after his illness was cured. He also threatened the saint, saying that if he was not allowed to leave, his family would immediately report him..."

"and after?"

"The saint told him to go, but he walked out for only two steps before walking back with a terrified look on his face. He then opened the window and jumped out... He fell to his death in this open space," said a male believer. "The saint didn't let us collect his body... But the next day, the body disappeared inexplicably, and even the blood was gone."

"It was eaten by 'Tai Sui Ye'..." another male believer whispered, "The saint said...it's called 'sacrifice'."

"So, are you going to dig or not?" Sun Hang asked again.

"But……"

"Let me ask you one thing. Do you think Taisui Ye is scarier, or... me?"

The two male believers immediately recalled what had just happened upstairs. Their faces turned pale. One of them nodded immediately and said, "Dig! We'll dig! But can I ask you for a favor?"

"explain."

"If 'Tai Sui Ye' gets angry, can you save our lives?" he pleaded.

"I'll try my best." Sun Hang nodded slightly. The two of them walked slowly with shovels to the land that was not covered with moss. The man who had just asked Sun Hang for protection took a deep breath, raised the shovel, and shoveled diagonally into the ground.

The front end of the shovel had just sunk into the mud when the man's face suddenly changed. His body froze there, and he said cautiously, "I... I seem to have touched something..."

"Don't scare me!" The other man took two steps back subconsciously, "What happened to you?"

"Okay... okay... it seems like the shovel has penetrated into the flesh..." The man glanced at Sun Hang and said in a trembling voice, "Can I pull the shovel out... and take another look?"

Sun Hang nodded.

The man held his breath and pulled the shovel head out of the soil bit by bit.

There was nothing unusual about the front end of the shovel except for some broken soil. But just when everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, a blood-like liquid suddenly seeped out of the soil, instantly dyeing the soil near the shovel mouth dark red.

"Ah!" The man was suddenly frightened. He dropped the shovel in his hand, fell to the ground, and crawled backwards using his hands and feet.

The two women even screamed and retreated more than ten meters away in fear.

Sun Hang frowned, walked over, picked up the fallen man, and picked up the shovel on the ground.

The amount of "blood" that seeped out of the soil was not much. It only dyed an area the size of a palm red and then stopped spreading.

"Have you ever seen saints bleed when they cut the flesh of Tai Sui before?" Sun Hang turned his head to look at the two women in the distance and asked.

The two girls immediately shook their heads like rattles.

“T-T-T-T-Tai Sui Ye…should…should…” the young woman stammered, “It’s…not that shallow…”

"Can this Tai Sui thing move by itself?"

“…I don’t know.” The woman still shook her head. “What does a complete Tai Sui look like…Actually, we have never seen it.”

"Since the Tai Sui that is parasitic in your body can use hyphae to attack others, then the Tai Sui's true body should not be a piece of rotten meat that can be slaughtered at will." Sun Hang recalled the files from seven years ago. The meat ball temporarily numbered "Wu179" did not have the ability to attack - at least in the files of the Investigation Bureau, it was written that "no aggressiveness was found, and the threat level is low."

The cult organization feeds the meat ball with motionless corpses. If a living person with no restrictions on movement is thrown into the fish tank, he can easily break free from the entangled hyphae and escape from the fish tank by stepping on the meat ball.

Assuming that "Tai Sui" and the meat ball are the same kind of strange creature, to what extent can it "evolve" in seven years?

Sun Hang signaled the two male believers to step back, and he walked forward with a shovel, pointed the shovel head vertically at the bleeding wound, and stomped on it.

"Pfft."

Just as the male believer had just said, the feeling from the front end of the shovel was not like breaking soil - neither loose soil nor hardened soil - but like cutting into a piece of tough leather.
