Ling Xiao shook his head.
"The so-called Deceitful Equipnt is a mysterious creature that can be tad and controlled by humans," Sun Hang said. "And the right person is the one who controls these mysterious creatures."
Ling Xiao nodded.
Sun Hang once again pulled the longsword from the soldier's hand and said to Ling Xiao, "This sword is actually also a mysterious creature. Its ability is to create a Qi Blade equal in length to the sword blade in the direction of the attack after hitting the target... But for those who cannot control it, the appearance of the Qi Blade is a matter of luck."
Sun Hang swung the sword in his hand, making a dozen virtual cuts at the soldier, but only one of them triggered the effect of the Qi Blade, leaving a shallow blade mark on the soldier's armor.
"Have you ever played video gas?" Sun Hang asked.
Ling Xiao nodded again.
"This sword is just like those weapons with attack effects in gas. But in the hands of ordinary people, the rate of triggering its special attack effect is only about 5%, while in the hands of the right person, the probability can be greatly increased, even up to 100%," Sun Hang continued, "This is just an ordinary Deceitful Equipnt. For so powerful Deceitful Equipnt, the non-right person not only fails to unleash its power, but instead, they are easily counterattacked..."
"Counterattacked?"
"To give a related example, let's talk about the armor on Ye Jiu that looks like a movie prop. That thing is a set of Deceitful Equipnt, called 'Slaughter.' Don't be fooled by how Ye Jiu walks around as if nothing's amiss. If soone else were to put it on, their mind would imdiately be controlled, turning into a blood-thirsty maniac, killing everyone they see."
"How... did he beco the right person?" Ling Xiao asked.
"I don't know either," Sun Hang shrugged. "Ye Jiu never really ntioned it, but currently, the Xiazhou Federation's thod for selecting the right person is simple and rough: just test your synchronization rate with a certain Deceitful Equipnt. As long as it's within the qualified range, you can beco the right person for that Deceitful Equipnt... This approach feels like finding a needle in a haystack to ."
"But there are also exceptions," Sun Hang continued, "I know another right person. Her Deceitful Equipnt is a deceitful corpse, sothing like a zombie after an incomplete mysterious infection. She doesn't need a synchronization rate to control the deceitful corpse; as long as she establishes a consciousness link during its transformation, after the transformation is complete, the deceitful corpse will automatically beco her Deceitful Equipnt... But this exception cannot be replicated, as this right person is not an ordinary person either."
"Is she an infected?"
"No, no mbrane was detected in her body," Sun Hang said. "But I suspect she is likely an 'extraordinarily powered individual'... In this world of rampaging mysterious creatures, a few extraordinary individuals among humans do not seem too outrageous to ."
"Are extraordinary individuals... born with it?"
"I still don't know. But I imagine their numbers should be much less than Mysterious Creature Hunters, otherwise, the main force of humans fighting mysterious creatures wouldn't be us Hunters," Sun Hang said.
"..." Ling Xiao looked at Sun Hang and then at the sword in his hand, and said nothing.
"But don't lose hope; there's another way to beco the right person for a Deceitful Equipnt."
"What way?"
"Matching the right person with Deceitful Equipnt is low efficiency..." Sun Hang waved his hand, and the soldier formations surrounding the bone throne parted down the middle. He walked down the path to the bone throne, picked up the red square crystal, "The right way should be to tailor-make the mysterious creature for the right person... First, shoot the arrow, then draw the target, so there's no synchronization rate issue."
"Tailor-make...?" Ling Xiao focused his gaze on the red square crystal.
"Tell , what kind of Deceitful Equipnt do you want?" Sun Hang sat on the bone throne, looking down at Ling Xiao, "But considering the stability factors, I suggest you pick sothing more basic, like a sword or a blade, or a bow and arrow, armor, and such."
Although Deceitful Equipnt doesn't necessarily have to be an object-type mysterious creature, Sun Hang thought playing it safe for the first attempt was better.
Ling Xiao thought for a mont and then pulled sothing out of his bag.
It was the handgun that Sun Hang had given him.
"A handgun..." Sun Hang thought for a mont, "This is actually a pretty smart choice. As the saying goes, 'Beyond seven steps, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast...' However, I'm not sure what effect a mysterious creature's handgun would have if it used regular ammunition. Are you sure about this?"
Ling Xiao nodded seriously.
Two strands of mycelium erged from Sun Hang's body, one rolled away the handgun Ling Xiao took out, and the other quietly attached itself to the back of Ling Xiao's neck.
"The process might be a bit painful, try to stay relaxed. If you really can't take it, tell , and I'll stop."
"Okay," Ling Xiao said.
Sun Hang held the red square crystal with one hand, while his thoughts and consciousness embedded into the gun's interior through the mycelium.
This is a "Type 02 Pistol" produced by Siberian military manufacturing, but Sun Hang's is a custom type, issued as basic defensive weaponry to formal investigators or external operative staff at a research institute.
The gun uses nine-milliter caliber bullets, with average power, only suitable for close-range unprotected targets—if beyond fifty ters, or the target is wearing a Kevlar bulletproof vest (even without extra bulletproof plates), this gun's deterrent power is greatly reduced.
