For Suyue, a Hunter with physical strength not much different from ordinary people, these bullets are still deadly, especially when aid at vital spots during close-range shooting.
A hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she decisively pulled the trigger!
No gunshot was heard.
The pistol’s trigger seed welded, completely immovable.
"You—" Despair flashed deeper in Suyue’s eyes as she began to think of thods other than the pistol to die swiftly.
The female rcenary in the passenger seat was completely bewildered by the scene - just a few minutes ago, Suyue had surrendered because the Hunters from Dubhe Tower agreed not to kill them. How did a simple conversation between the two lead to her sudden desire to end herself?
Could there be sothing more terrifying than death in this world?
"Hey? What’s the rush?" Sun Hang grabbed the gun barrel, forcibly pushing down Suyue’s hand that held the gun, "You can’t wait to get to hell ahead of ti?"
Suyue’s expression twisted, her reddened eyes stared intensely at Sun Hang.
"The so-called hell is just a taphor, don’t be tense." Sun Hang "comforted" kindly.
"Of course I know... it’s just... a taphor!" Suyue sobbed, "Please... I’ll do anything, just don’t... don’t let ..."
"Really anything?" Sun Hang showed a mischievous smile.
"Anything!" Suyue nodded vigorously.
Frankly, Sun Hang preferred this woman’s cold deanor from their initial eting more.
Now panicked, it completely lost its essence... commonly known as "persona collapse."
"Then co to hell with ."
"No, no, no, no!" Suyue shook her head like a rattle, "This is the only thing I can’t do!"
"Why not?" Sun Hang asked.
"I don’t want to be sacrificed as an offering to mysterious creatures... I’ve seen those death row inmates who were sacrificed... for such an end, I’d rather be executed by Dubhe Tower..."
"Oh, so you thought going to hell ant being sacrificed..."
"Isn’t it?" Suyue paused slightly, involuntarily feeling a glimr of hope.
Though reason told her, she shouldn’t hold onto any hope with people from Dubhe Tower.
Because these people truly resorted to any ans to achieve their goals.
If it weren’t for their official guise, they would be more despicable and crazier than the worst in No Man’s Land.
"I sohow feel the image of Dubhe Tower is completely ruined with you all." Sun Hang couldn’t help but put his hand to his forehead.
Despite things being quite literally as such.
During the ti right after Sun Hang woke up, he had considered bombing that so-called Mysterious Creature Research Institute and its superior agency multiple tis, but sohow, he ended up becoming the boss of this institution as he muddled through.
If he causes trouble now, it would be truly "Why does Your Majesty rebel"... even the person who initially coerced him into signing the indenture is now his...
The only unchanged thing is this huge ss left by the forr Boss.
Mr. Pei, you tricked , Mr. Pei!
"What exactly does hell an?" Suyue couldn’t resist asking.
Sun Hang took a deep breath, did his best to put on a friendly smile, placing his hand on her smooth thigh, sincerely said, "Friend, want to know about all-inclusive, unknown number of days Egypt tour by rocket ticket, with als but no accommodation?"
"Huh? What?" Suyue was stunned; she hadn’t even noticed Sun Hang’s "salty pig hand" secretly saring the blood and debris from the battle onto her fair thigh.
"Dubhe Tower needs to recruit a batch of experts to explore Egypt’s Surrendered Area, I think in your Sandthorn Rose, there should be quite a few candidates who fit the bill." Sun Hang said.
"Recruitnt? Experts? Surrendered Area? Egypt?" The amount of information hidden in this short sentence put Suyue’s brain into a brief shutdown.
"Dubhe Tower needs to collect a rare ’mysterious creature sample’ in Egypt’s Surrendered Area. The difficulty of this mission will exceed all previous ones, and for participants, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a hell expedition." Sun Hang explained.
"The Egypt you ntioned, is it the one south of the diterranean Sea, at the northeast corner of the African continent?" Suyue asked.
"Which Egypt do you think it could be?" Sun Hang suddenly realized Sandthorn Rose’s information might be a bit outdated; logically speaking, rumors of an Egypt mission should have spread through Dragon City thanks to Candle Dragon’s "friends"...
Given Sandthorn Rose’s intelligence network, they couldn’t possibly be unaware of this.
Or maybe, because the mission content is too outrageous, it was taken as a boring joke or so cryptic "code phrase"?
"Was the Dragon City mission issued by you?"
Sun Hang nodded.
"Then it should... cross the entire Central Asia Region, right?" Suyue said sowhat laboriously.
"Via near-earth orbit." Sun Hang said, "I’ve ntioned, all-inclusive rocket tickets for roundtrip."
Suyue swallowed, took several deep breaths, then nodded, "I understand... If you need our assistance, we’ll try our best..."
"Alright, first question answered, second question?" Sun Hang urged.
"It’s, it’s no longer important." Suyue shook her head stiffly.
Despite feeling a post-crisis joy, the terror embedded in this young man’s few sentences made her brain feel dizzy, giving her a very strong sense of unreality.
She even started doubting if all of this was just her delusion... that her fate would still be to be sacrificed as an offering to mysterious creatures...
"If Sister Suyue doesn’t ask, can I?" The female rcenary in the passenger seat suddenly spoke, "Then the second question?"
"Sure." Sun Hang nodded.
"Who are you?" The female rcenary’s gaze lingered on Sun Hang’s face, "We originally thought Candle Dragon should be the leader of you all, yet considering the authority and strength, you seem to be above Candle Dragon. But we can’t track any information related to you, and comparing you to those Hunters who never appear on rankings, you seem a bit too young, as even the ones on there have been listed for over ten years... So I’m very curious about your identity, can you tell your codena?"
"I don’t have a codena, I surf the internet using my real na." Sun Hang replied, "I’m Sun Hang."
"Thud," the gun in Suyue’s hand dropped to the ground.
"Surprised?" Sun Hang glanced at Suyue, her expression was quite remarkable, filled with all sorts of mixed emotions... including a hint of admiration and lust.
What the heck??
"Very surprised." The female rcenary nodded, "But Sister Suyue should be more surprised... She’s your hardcore fan."
"Ah?" Sun Hang felt the event’s progression beco a bit abstract.
"I just... I’m just really interested in you." Suyue’s pale cheeks flushed slightly, "As soone responsible for gathering various information in our organization, I’ve always kept an eye on the variety of news in the Hunter circle... and this year’s most incredible news is your appearance."
Suyue paused, then continued, "Not just us, many organizations want to get your information... but online, your intel is scarcer than primal mysterious creatures..."
That’s for sure—Sun Hang muttered in his heart—during Mr. Pei’s reign, my various files were the highest secret in Dubhe Tower, and now that I control the mainfra, I’ve gotten the mainfra to erase any online information concerning .
Besides those high-profile news etched deeply into public mory that can’t be removed, Sun Hang even wiped his employnt file at Celestial City Mysterious Creature Research Institute.
[p.s. I should be discharged tomorrow, and the plot’s about to reach a critical point... Writing on a phone these days, admittedly a bit lacking, please understand.]
