Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 39 Creation
"Twenty meters?!" A sheriff who was closer was so scared that he immediately pulled out his gun.

"At this distance... I should be able to find a way to accurately locate it..." The researcher holding the device made a small circle on the spot. As he moved, the device kept making a "beeping" sound... Finally, the researcher chose a direction and walked forward step by step.

The frequency of the beeping sound is getting stronger and stronger, which means that he did not choose the wrong direction... The distance between the device and the monster is getting closer and closer.

Behind the researcher, a group of fully armed sheriffs stood on high alert. Each of them tried their best to suppress their breathing and heartbeat. The scene was so quiet that the only sounds left were the beeping of the equipment and the sound of the researcher's boots stomping on the ground.

The beeping sound became more and more rapid, while the researcher's pace became slower and slower...

Finally, he stopped in front of the broken shell of Tai Sui.

A fifteen-meter-long alien-shaped long sword was inserted vertically into the ground, with the end pointing straight into the sky.

The blade of this alien long sword is covered with strange patterns - it is not forged or cast from molten metal, but is made of countless steel bars wrapped together and squeezed into shape by an unimaginable force.

The squeezing force is so great that even the atoms between the steel bars penetrate each other and stick tightly together.

"You're not going to tell me... that the strange thing you detected is this thing?" Sun Hang followed behind the researcher and asked with a strange look on his face.

It couldn't be that there were "food residues" on the "tableware"? But the other party had repeatedly emphasized that the Tai Sui had been completely eliminated, and even if there were "food residues", it would not cause a reaction in the detection equipment.

The researcher did not reply. He simply pulled out a cable with an electrode at the end from the device and carefully attached the electrode to the alien long sword.

After more than ten seconds, he turned around and nodded to Sun Hang.

Sun Hang suddenly fell into deep thought.

This...isn't this right?

Isn't this just a handy tool that I made with my own "ability"? How did it become a weird thing?

This machine... could it be that there's something wrong with it?

"Preliminary judgment is that it should be a 'self-type·artifact-type' strange object." The researcher said, "But the specific information needs to be transported back to the institute for careful study before it can be confirmed."

"How did this strange thing appear here?" Yang Lian walked closer to the alien long sword and asked Sun Hang, "Did you see how it appeared?"

More than just seeing it... I made this thing... Sun Hang muttered to himself, but he didn't say it out loud - the Monster Hunter was not under the jurisdiction of the Investigation Bureau, and with their current identities and status, Yang Lian was not qualified to ask Sun Hang to answer his questions.

As the saying goes, too much talk will lead to mistakes, Sun Hang decided to remain silent for the time being.

If this strange-shaped long sword is really an artifact-type weird thing... does it mean that I have the ability to "create weird things"? The ability to "create things" already sounds very awesome, but "creating weird things"... this is no longer a question of whether it is awesome or not.

Sun Hang recalled the scene when he "created" this strange-shaped long sword...

At that time, he only wanted to make a handy weapon that could cause effective damage to Tai Sui. He didn't even think about the material and shape of the weapon. The steel bars were automatically pulled out from the broken concrete blocks, the collapsed walls, and even from the cement foundation. They were sucked into the air and then "die-cast" into this alien long sword.

It can be a knife, a sword, a spear or something else.

For Sun Hang, its definition is pure "weapon".

Sun Hang suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen somewhere -

"Only a weirdo can destroy a weirdo."

This sentence originally refers to the fact that the monster hunters who deal with monsters are themselves infected with the monster virus. The most obvious difference between them and the monsters is that the monster hunters have human self-cognition.

Hunters are essentially a kind of monster - a "human-shaped monster".

Could it be that I was influenced by this sentence and subconsciously thought that if I wanted to eliminate Tai Sui, the weapon I used must be an "artifact-type weird object", so I created this thing?
Sun Hang always felt that his guess was outrageous and ridiculous... but considering the current situation, this guess seemed to be... "the most reasonable".

Sun Hang ignored Yang Lian, walked aside silently, took out his cell phone, and sent a text message to Yang Qi.

"Will a monster hunter use an artifact-type monster as a weapon?"

Within a few seconds, Yang Qi's reply came.

"Of course there are... not only that, there are a lot of them. However, these artifact-type strange objects that are used as 'special equipment' are strictly sealed up when they are not in use. In the Weird Object Research Institute in Tianfu City, there are several such strange objects sealed up. So, why are you asking this?"

"What are the conditions for the creation of artifact-type monsters?" Sun Hang asked again.

"It's hard to define... because there are so many types of weird things and ways of 'infection' that it's hard to generalize." Yang Qi wrote in the message, "Some are natural artifact-type weird things, and some are artifact-type weird things formed after ordinary objects are transformed into weird things. For example, if someone stabs a person infected with the weird virus with a knife, and the knife is stained with the blood of the infected person, then there is a certain probability that the knife will become an artifact-type weird thing."

Before Sun Hang had time to edit the next message, Yang Qi sent another one.

"Of course, the probability of this happening is very low, even lower than winning the lottery jackpot. Moreover, the artifact-type monsters generated in this way are actually not threatening at all... their ability, at most, is to add some buffs to the holder. An artifact-type monster I have studied before is a broken hunting knife. As long as you hold the handle, it will slightly enhance the holder's physical fitness, but the side effect that comes with it is that it will make the holder very bloodthirsty. If you hold it for too long, it will even make the holder completely crazy and indiscriminately hack and kill everyone you see."

"There are also some very powerful artifact-type strange things. Although I have never seen them with my own eyes, I have read about them in the literature. There is a clepsydra sealed in the Weird Thing Research Institute in Chang'an. It is said that it has the ability to temporarily stop time... You ask me these things. Are you planning to apply for a certain artifact-type strange thing as a weapon?"
