Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 380 Second Stage

Wen Ya fell into a dazed state. He stood up tremblingly. He could feel something flowing under his flesh and blood...

Power! It is power! Infinite power!!
Sun Hang naturally noticed the change in temperature and pressure, and couldn't help but complain: "Are you the dungeon boss? How come there is a second stage?"

Wen Ya let out an inhuman roar, and the only remaining fabric of his combat uniform melted away. Shark fin-like cracks appeared in many parts of his body. The fins at the cracks kept opening and closing in rhythm with his breathing, and every time they opened and closed, a large puff of scarlet blood mist would be sprayed out.

"Seventh Threshold".

Wen Ya never thought that he could break through to this level... In his understanding, the "sixth threshold" was already the limit of his ability, and improving it further would only extend the duration of the "sixth threshold"... As for the "seventh threshold", he had never even thought about it.

Now, only when he truly holds this power in his hands, can he understand the horror of the "Seventh Threshold"... A feeling of being invincible arises spontaneously, and he even feels that even if the hunter ranked first on the leaderboard stands in front of him, he will have to kneel down and beg for mercy!

Wen Ya's thoughts began to become confused, but it didn't matter. All he needed to do next was to kill... Just tear apart everything that could move in front of him!
"Die!" Wen Ya roared.

A series of air explosions sounded like firecrackers, but faster than the sound was the warm pressure of the fist.

His fist smashed Sun Hang's head directly and passed through a pile of bursting red and white things!

"Awesome! So awesome!!!" Wen Ya was filled with ecstasy, "This is the feeling of having power! This is my 'seventh threshold'!!"

Everyone must die!!

What hunters, what federation, what holy ark... In front of Lao Tzu's "seventh threshold", they are nothing!

I am the ruler of the world! The most powerful ruler! !

The speed of time in Wen Ya's eyes began to slow down. He could clearly see Sun Hang's shattered skull being covered by flesh particles, which were flying around...

It's strange, why would this piece of meat become like that in mid-air... It looks like a ball of burnt noodles?

No, not noodles!

That is the mycelium of Tai Sui!
Wen Ya's eyes widened instantly. He found that the "Sun Hang" who was shot in the head by him had lost his human form. A large mass of pale mycelium collapsed and scattered on the ground.

"Is it a puppet?!"

Wen Ya suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He lowered his head and suddenly found a bloody hand protruding from his chest.

The palms had distinct joints, the fingers were long, and the skin looked exceptionally fair against the backdrop of the blood... Wen Ya didn't like this skin color. In his eyes, people with fair skin and slender limbs were all weak pretty boys.

Even when it comes to women, he prefers those with obvious signs of fitness and a curvy figure.

But in the hand of this pretty boy, there was an unusually large heart, which was still beating strongly, making thunderous drumbeats.

Wen Ya's gaze slowly moved downwards, and he found that his left chest cavity was empty.

In other words... this is... my heart?
The surging power was draining from Wen Ya's body at a faster rate than when it came. His originally frantic thoughts had finally calmed down a little.

What followed was the purest fear.

"The seventh threshold? The name sounds quite childish." A voice without any sadness or joy came from behind Wen Ya. The white palm suddenly exerted force, and the huge heart instantly turned into meat paste and exploded!
"monster."

Wen Ya said the last words in his life and fell heavily to the ground face down.

The rapidly cooling blood soon froze to the ground, turning into a large piece of crimson ice.

It was not until this time that the cell phone in Sun Hang's pocket rang.

"Hello?" Sun Hang answered the phone.

"What happened at the test site?" Yang Qi's voice was very urgent. "We watched the surveillance video at the scene. After the temperature and pressure successfully landed, you said something to him, and he immediately attacked you! What did you say to him?"

Sun Hang raised his head and saw more than a dozen drones hovering in the air, with all the shiny black surveillance cameras pointed at him.

"Nothing. I just asked him 'What is the Holy Ark' and he rushed over like a madman... As for what happened later, I suspected that his infection process might have exceeded the dangerous threshold, so I killed him." Sun Hang walked forward and kicked Wen Yi's body with his toes.

The person was dead beyond deadness, and the body was frozen to the ground. If one wanted to move the body intact, one would probably have to use a shovel to shovel off the frozen ice bit by bit.

More than a dozen hyphae spread out from Sun Hang's feet, pierced into his body, and continuously grabbed the remaining weird memes in the corpse.

"I just received a report from the test site... The data from the thermobaric bracelet did show that in the half minute before his death, his infection progress had significantly exceeded the dangerous threshold..." Song Yarong's voice interrupted, "But, what is the holy cabinet you and he mentioned?"

"I didn't know at first, but this guy told me that the Holy Ark is Chimera 17, so I think it should be some kind of codeword. Oh, by the way, in addition to the Holy Ark, he also mentioned an organization... I don't know what organization it is, but it shouldn't be the Tianshu Tower, right?"

Sun Hang has absorbed most of the remaining memes from the temperature and pressure... but unfortunately, his memories seem to have been burned out with his last outburst. Apart from pure power, there is nothing else in his memes.

"The Holy Ark? The organization?" Yang Qi immediately asked, "Where did you hear these code words from? And why did you suddenly ask Wen Ya this question?" "I heard this guy mentioned it when he was chatting with his leader." Sun Hang said.

This is not considered a lie, but strictly speaking, it cannot be considered as "mentioned" when Wen Ya and Yao Yu were chatting, but rather "thought of".

"Who is the person directly responsible for Wen Ya?" Yang Qi asked immediately.

"do not know."

"I'm not asking you! I'm asking the person in charge of the test site!" Yang Qi's tone was very anxious, "What do you mean by missing? He just said he was going to the toilet, and then he disappeared? Where are the guards at the entrance and exit? Didn't they see him go out? Quick, send someone to search the entire test site immediately! He must not be hiding in a corner! Quick! Control all the entrances and exits of the test site at the same time. Only people allowed in, not out!"

"The hunter is already dead, is there any need to be so nervous?" Fukada Miki's voice floated over from the side.

"They are most likely members of a cult organization... and this organization may have infiltrated the upper echelons of the Federation. A second-level hunter and his direct supervisor... if they are not discovered in time, the consequences will be disastrous!" Yang Qi said.

"You mean, the cult organization is also targeting Chimera No. 17?" Wang Xiyi's voice also appeared.

"I don't know. Since the other party calls Chimera 17 the 'Holy Ark'... they won't let us destroy Chimera 17." Yang Qi said, "If a hunter as powerful as Wen Ya betrays us, the entire battle plan will probably be ruined..."

"But the worst thing is that you can't directly announce this matter, just like the engineer named Zhao Ming... There is no difference between the two in essence." Sun Hang said, "Even a hunter of this level can be a hidden pawn of the cult organization. Then all the high-level officials in Tianfu City will have reason to be suspected. If someone with ulterior motives adds fuel to the fire, then it will be interesting."

"You're right. Even if we know that we've been infiltrated, we can only conduct the investigation in secret..." Yang Qi said helplessly, "I can only hope that there is only this one hidden chess piece, and no more..."

"Have you ever heard a common saying?" Sun Hang suddenly changed the subject.

"what?"

"When you see a cockroach at home, there are already countless cockroaches lurking in the corners you can't see."

"I don't want to hear this!" Yang Qi said gritting her teeth. Through the microphone, Sun Hang could even imagine her pulling her hair with a troubled look on her face - whenever she encountered a problem that she couldn't solve, Yang Qi would always make such an expression.

"But no matter what, the PFDA test was a complete success. It can be regarded as a good news among so many bad news today," said Sun Hang.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Sun Hang is absolutely right!" Song Yarong interrupted in time, "Yang Qi, don't just stare at the bad news all day and think about your own pain. This will easily cause premature aging!"

"She has no balls," Sun Hang corrected.

"That's breast hyperplasia. It's not good for your health anyway." Song Yarong said, "Anyway, the bad thing has already happened. If you let it affect your mood, wouldn't that be even more of a loss?"

"My mood is not affected. I'm just thinking about how to adjust the subsequent plans." Yang Qi said unhappily.

"How else can we adjust? Secretly search for that guy named Yao Yu, and then do the rest as planned... If our plan is forced to adjust because of these bastards, then it will play into their hands." Song Yarong said.

"No... First we have to figure out what their real purpose is." Yang Qi said, "I don't think the cult is intervening in this matter just to sabotage the pesticide plan... Only those brainless low-level members would do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves."

"Oh... I think the temperature pressure is quite stupid." Sun Hang said.

He really has no brains, Sun Hang added in his heart, I can't even read much from mind reading, he looks like Dave whose brains were eaten by zombies.

"Wen Ya may be a reckless man, but his supervisor Yao Yu is definitely not." Yang Qi said seriously, "This man graduated from the Chunming City Advanced Weird Thing Research Institute, joined the Tianshu Tower at the age of 27, and obtained the qualification of Tianshu Tower researcher. At the age of 31, he became the direct supervisor of Wen Ya, and he has been in charge until today. He has published papers in the domestic authoritative journal Weird Thing Research, Weird Thing Analysis, and is also an honorary lecturer in the Weird Thing Research Department of several universities... Do you think such a person would expose himself and Wen Ya's precious combat power simply to destroy the pesticide plan?"

Yang Qi paused, took a deep breath, and then continued, "If their plan is simply to sabotage, then even if the plan succeeds, there are only two outcomes for the two of them. One is death, and the other is to accept the most severe interrogation of the Federation..."

"What if he is simply seeking revenge against society? He wants to drag down the millions of people in Shuzhou with him?" Sun Hang said, "Should we investigate his personal experience? Maybe we can find some clues."

"We're already investigating... but I still think the possibility is very low." Yang Qi said, "Besides, I don't think Yao Yu has such a high level of autonomy?"

"Authority for autonomous action?" Sun Hang asked.

This term was quite new to him, especially when it was used to refer to members of a cult.

"Those deeply hidden cult organizations have more strict internal hierarchy and authority distribution than the federal government and Tianshu Tower. People like Yao Yu and Wen Ya are likely to be only the upper-middle level within the organization, rather than the core decision-making level... Any action they take must be approved by the decision-making level." Song Yarong explained for Yang Qi.

"Even if Wen Yao is a second-level... or even a quasi-first-level hunter, he is at best just a chess piece. The same goes for Yao Yu, a chess piece cannot decide his own fate." Yang Qi said, "But then again, although he is just a chess piece, he is a very important chess piece. No cult organization will have many chess pieces like this, so they can't consume them at will."

"What if they are just pure Chaos Evil? They just want to kill people, kill a lot of people?"

"There are cults like this, but many of them don't last long." Yang Qi's tone gradually returned to calm. "Fanatical is often a precursor to destruction. It's difficult for a cult that is obsessed with revenge on society to hide itself perfectly, let alone infiltrate the federal government and the top leaders of the Tianshu Tower..."

"Okay, what should I do next?" Sun Hang glanced at Wen Ya's corpse. He had already devoured all of the opponent's memes, but Sun Hang did not gain any new skills. Only the capacity of the blue bar increased slightly.

The increase is not even one percent.

"Control the scene and catch Yao Yu first."
