Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 7 Hypnosis
"Did this thing work when you came here last time?" 0401 asked.

"You can tell by the expressions on their faces." Sun Hang shrugged.

"So, during the time when the Public Security Bureau blocked the amusement park, someone still sneaked in." 0401 pretended to think carefully, "Or, the culprit has actually been hiding in the amusement park, but you have never found his hiding place."

"It seems like a lot of analysis, but it's actually all useless nonsense." 0398 rolled his eyes at him. "By the way, can you remove the handcuffs for me? I'm really worried that I'll be killed if I'm handcuffed to this idiot."

"Alright, stop arguing and keep moving forward." Captain Huang said in a deep voice, "The primary goal of this operation is to search for the missing trainee sheriff. Alive or dead..."

The word "death" lingered in his throat for a long time, but he finally swallowed back the second half of the sentence "If he dies, I want to see the corpse."

There was only one corridor at the entrance of the haunted house, but it was spacious enough for three big men to walk side by side. On both sides of the corridor were locked doors, and the keys to these doors had long been lost. If you wanted to open them, you had to resort to violence.

Every time he passed a door, Sun Hang would carefully check the keyhole on the door to see if there were any signs of rust being worn away - unfortunately, the rust and dust on every door lock were very uniform, which directly ruled out the possibility that the other party had a key or could have picked the lock.

"What's in these rooms?" 0401 couldn't help but ask.

"Various themed secret rooms," the young sheriff replied.

"Have you gone in to check?" 0401 asked again.

“During the first two inspections, we used a fiber optic peepscope to check the situation in the room, but didn’t find any clues.” The young sheriff shook his head.

The fiber optic peephole he mentioned is a special device equipped by the Sheriff's Bureau. It can insert a tiny probe the size of a grain of rice through the crack in the door and take pictures of the other side of the door.

"In other words, you haven't checked directly in?" Sun Hang frowned. "Something like a theme secret room must have a secret passage inside... This door in the corridor may not be its only entrance and exit."

"Captain Huang said that if this survey still yields nothing, then we should pry open these doors and conduct a thorough inspection," the sheriff said.

"By the way, did you hear any strange noises?" 0401 suddenly shuddered and whispered, "Why... I seemed to hear a sound similar to that of a baby crying..."

"I heard it, too." The young sheriff nodded slightly. "Now that you mention it... it seems a bit similar."

"It's the sound of the wind." Sun Hang said, "The walls on this floor are all rough brick walls, and there are still many gaps that have not been filled. In addition, the door of the haunted house is open, facing this corridor, which will form a phenomenon similar to a draft. The draft passes through the gaps in the brick walls and creates a whimpering sound."

"But what I heard was not the cry of a child." 0398 shook his head. "If I had to describe it, it sounded like... like the singing of a young girl."

"Singing?" Sun Hang's eyes twitched. "Are you sure?"

"I... now that you mention it, I'm a little unsure." 0398's expression was a little ugly at this time, "This sound is sometimes there, sometimes not, vaguely..."

"What about you? What sound did you hear?" Sun Hang turned to ask the other sheriffs.

"It's just rumors. Don't scare yourself." Captain Huang said impatiently.

"Then why is Zero Three Nine... Hey, what are you doing?" 0401's words were suddenly interrupted. He only felt a huge force coming from his wrist, dragging him forward.

At some point, 0398 seemed to have become a different person. His eyes were dull and his body movements became extremely stiff. He just dragged 0401 straight into the depths of the corridor. "In a state of unconsciousness? Is this... being controlled by someone?" Sun Hang was stunned and subconsciously made way for the two of them.

“What, what’s going on?” 0401 shouted in shock and anxiety, “What…what is this woman doing? How can she be so strong? Shit, I feel like she’s going to tear my wrist off!”

"Quick, control her!" Captain Huang was about to reach out to pull 0398, but was stopped by Sun Hang.

"0401, don't resist." Sun Hang said, "Follow her and see where she takes us."

After Sun Hang said this, Captain Huang also reacted immediately and said to the other sheriffs: "Everyone pay attention, if you find any abnormal situation, report it to me immediately!"

"0398, what happened to her?" 0401 was dragged forward by 0398, "She, she is not acting, is she?"

"It doesn't look like she's acting." Sun Hang shook his head. "Her wrists were bleeding from the handcuffs, but she didn't even frown... Besides, don't you think she's ridiculously strong?"

0398 is a slender woman who is just over 0401 meters tall. Judging from the muscle content of her limbs, she doesn't look like someone who regularly exercises. 0398 is a man who is 0401 meters tall and weighs over kilograms... In a pure contest of strength, has no chance of being a match for .

But now, 0401 was being dragged forward by her and couldn't be stopped at all.

"Is she possessed by a ghost?" 0401 said in horror, "Captain Huang, can you remove my handcuffs first?"

"No. What if we remove the handcuffs and she runs away?" Captain Huang rejected his proposal immediately. "Just be a human counterweight... Don't worry, we can guarantee your safety."

0398 dragged 0401 through the entire corridor, went up to the second floor, and turned several corners until a faint light was heard not far away.

It was a figure in a long robe, and the faint light came from something held in its hands. However, before the sheriff could rush forward, the figure suddenly turned around and disappeared into a fork in the road.

The terrain of the second floor of the haunted house is far more complicated than that of the first floor. The numerous corridors and various hidden passages turn it into a real maze. As the architectural design drawings have long been lost, no one knows where those half-open doors lead to.

The figure simply covered the glowing object in his hand, and it instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

It was not until this time that 0398 stopped as if waking up from a dream, bent down, and began to retch violently.

"Cough cough... cough cough... what, what happened?" 0398 asked while coughing, "What was that just now?"

"What did you just see? What did you hear?" Sun Hang walked over, patted 0398's back gently, and asked.

"Ahem...you just asked me about that song...I pricked up my ears to listen, wanting to hear it more clearly...but the song, which was originally very far away from me, suddenly became so close that it seemed to be right next to my ear..." 0398 said intermittently, "I was startled, but the next second I found that there was no one around...It was pitch black everywhere, and I couldn't see anything...I could only see a little fire in the darkness...I don't know why, but the fire seemed to have a great attraction to me, and I couldn't help but follow it..."

"It sounds like you've fallen into hypnosis." Captain Huang stroked the stubble on his chin with his hand. "But, you were right in the middle of the team just now, and our people were all around you. The other party shouldn't have had a chance to hypnotize you... Wait, could it be that singing?! All we heard was the sound of the wind, and you were the only one who heard the singing!"

"That should be the case." Another sheriff wearing glasses said, "Some special audio can also make people fall into a hypnotic state."
