Anna paused for a mont and said, "So, dear mother, please survive amidst sister's revenge."
Amidst the faint sounds, Sun Hang heard a bubbling "gurgle gurgle" noise. He turned around, only to see a deford fetus floating up from the pool of blood. The fetus's abdon still had an uncut umbilical cord, connected toward the mother's direction.
This fetus hadn't fully developed, its eyelids were still completely transparent, with two bloodshot and swollen eyeballs clearly visible.
A few fragnted verses of a Qiang mountain song accompanied by the cries of the infant echoed in the room. The viscosity of the blood pool instantly increased several tis, enveloping Sun Hang's legs as if it were gradually solidifying cent.
"Is that it?"
Sun Hang extended his hand, and a large hand composed of mycelium reached toward the deford ghost fetus, squeezing its head until it burst.
The blood pool began to dry up rapidly, while the flesh on the Qiang woman's corpse shriveled even faster. Once the blood in the room completely seeped into the ground, the corpse had beco nothing but bones dressed in loose clothing.
Only then did Sun Hang notice that the skeleton was indeed wearing a maternity dress with a large belly design.
The green-faced fanged Nuo Opera Mask had already fallen to the ground, shattered into pieces. Sun Hang wanted to reach out and touch the skeleton, but the mont his fingers touched it, the entire skeleton instantly turned to dust, scattering across the ground, leaving only a blood-stained maternity dress draped over a chair.
Footsteps approached from behind, and Yang Qi rushed into the room, panting, "The tic reaction of the ghostly object suddenly disappeared! Did you take it out?"
"Sort of." Sun Hang glanced at where the deford ghost fetus had been—like the mother, after being killed, the ghost fetus also withered and "degraded" rapidly, evoking a sense of "dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
Anna's voice did not reappear; the trace of consciousness she had left here seed to have completely dissipated.
"So weak." Sun Hang murmured.
"What did you say?"
"I said... this ghost object is so weak; it was crushed to death at once." Sun Hang remarked.
"Don't let your guard down," Yang Qi imdiately reminded, "I've seen many proud hunters, and many of them have paid a heavy price for their arrogance."
"No... I just find it strange." Sun Hang shook his head and walked toward the outside.
The aning behind Anna's words... seed not to end there.
The ga's content is... to survive the revenge of the sister... but if this is the revenge, wouldn't the difficulty of this ga be too low?
The most crucial point is that Sun Hang realized he forgot to ask Anna what kind of rewards he would receive after completing this ga.
"The problem should lie in the mory erased by the three apes just now." Sun Hang mused, "The clues are hidden in there, but now they're buried. However, this at least proves that the general direction was not wrong..."
"Sun Hang? Sun Hang!" Yang Qi caught up, "What are you planning to do? Search the entire Qiujiawan? Or go to other Qiang villages?"
"Return to Tianfu City." Sun Hang suddenly said.
"Huh?" Yang Qi was taken aback, clearly surprised by Sun Hang's words. "Are we... not continuing to investigate the whereabouts of those missing?"
"We are too late," Sun Hang said. "Notify the Lizhou City Managent Committee to dispatch the City Defense Guard into the mountains to search for surviving Qiang villages... but I estimate that there probably aren't many left... They wasted too much ti."
Sun Hang briskly walked to the village entrance and jumped into the car.
"Was it Chira 17?" Candle Dragon asked.
"Most likely, it needs to feed to heal its injuries, and these isolated villages serve as the best 'supply points.' After Yang Qi and Zhong Ling also got in, Sun Hang imdiately started the engine.
"Not just the Qiang villages here, other townships in Shuzhou might also beco targets of attacks." Sun Hang said, "Chira 17 moves quickly, and we can't catch up to it... Furthermore, we have no idea where it will appear next."
"I will report this information to the Disaster Response Committee... The best imdiate response is to relocate all the residents of these remote towns to big cities, but..." Yang Qi hesitated.
"But implenting it will inevitably face nurous challenges," Candle Dragon finished her sentence for her, "The opposition from the public, the manpower and resources needed for relocation, the construction of resettlent points, and the distribution of living supplies... it all seems like a simple statent, but in practice, it's as difficult as building a new Tianfu City."
"Can we try laying in wait?" Yang Qi suggested again, "Organize an elite hunter team specifically to ambush near those townships. Once Chira 17 shows up, then..."
"Chira 17 has already learned from Tianfu City, the more humans it devours, the smarter it becos, and its thinking becos more akin to humans." Sun Hang shook his head, "Moreover, there are so many possible places, no one can determine where the rabbit will strike next."
"Then what's your plan?" Yang Qi sighed, sowhat dispirited and ruffled her slightly ssy long hair.
"Let it eat?"
"Let it eat?" Yang Qi was slightly taken aback, "You... can't be serious, right?"
"What do you think it will do after it heals?"
"What will it do?" Yang Qi's eyes widened a bit, "You don't an..."
"It will seek revenge." Sun Hang hadn't finished his words when he suddenly slamd on the brakes, causing Yang Qi, caught off guard, to hit her head on the back of the front seat.
"Ouch... what happened?"
"Revenge... retaliation... retaliation... revenge..." Sun Hang muttered. "I seem to know... what was erased..."
"What was erased?" Yang Qi rubbed her forehead and stared at him in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Ever since that fireball appeared at Panlong Airport, it seems like you've been not quite right..."
"You an to say I've beco neurotic, don't you?" Sun Hang turned his head and asked.
Yang Qi hesitated for a mont, but then nodded.
"That's normal because I discovered an issue."
"What issue?"
"Human thought logic cannot comprehend the principles by which ghostly entities act," Sun Hang said. "Only by putting ourselves in their shoes, using the thought logic of ghostly entities, can we understand what they are truly thinking."
"Thought logic of ghostly entities... Do ghostly entities even have thought logic?" Yang Qi exclaid.
"Isn't that sothing you researchers should ask?"
"Current research indicates that certain ghostly entities can indeed think like humans; so can even communicate with humans," Yang Qi said. "But that doesn't an ghostly entities have so universal thought logic! Even if they did, we humans would be unable to comprehend it!"
"And that's why you think I'm neurotic or crazy, right?" Sun Hang shrugged, "Normal people also can't understand a ntal patient's thought logic. Only when you beco a ntal patient yourself can you realize how clear your thoughts are, and how ticulous your logic is..."
"... I really want to call you crazy, but sohow that seems to affirm your idea," Yang Qi couldn't help but say.
