Chapter 40: Containing the Long Knife
"I have this idea." Sun Hang glanced at the long alien knife and replied.
This thing was originally "created" by him, and the most suitable user is naturally Sun Hang himself.
"I'm afraid it's difficult to handle. Artifact-type artifacts themselves are extremely dangerous, and the cost of containment and management remains high. Hunters are rarely issued artifact-type artifacts as equipment unless necessary, let alone carry them with them. I've carried it," Yang Qi replied.
The work efficiency of the Monster Research Institute was very fast. In just ten minutes, a container specially customized for the alien long knife was delivered to the scene.
This was a huge metal box shaped like a scabbard, fixed on the top of two all-terrain transport vehicles with brackets. There were also several huge metal barrels piled underneath, as well as a set of equipment that Sun Hang didn't know what to use.
A dozen staff members wearing heavy protective clothing carefully used a crane to pull the special-shaped long knife out of the ground, and then slowly pushed it into the tailor-made "scabbard" bit by bit - although Sun Hang wanted to help them complete this process directly, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he finally chose to stand aside and be an audience with the woman with a stern face.
The liquid stored in the metal barrel was poured into the interlayer of the "scabbard". As soon as the liquid came into contact with the air, white mist suddenly rose, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
"It's liquid nitrogen." Yang Lian crossed his arms and said in a tone as cold as liquid nitrogen.
"Can low temperature restrict strange things?" Sun Hang asked doubtfully.
"Most weird objects, especially those with entities, still have conventional material structures. Low temperatures close to absolute zero can make the particles that make up matter move extremely slowly, keeping their state stable." Replied Sun The question is about another female researcher who is not wearing protective clothing. She is She has wheat-colored skin that is unique to mixed-race people, and three-dimensional facial features like sculptures. Her long hair is dyed silver-white and tied into a high ponytail on the back of her head. It is a pity that she only has one The sockets of the right and left eyes were empty, not even the prosthetic eyeballs used to fill them.
"Although it may not be useful, this is one of the standard procedures for containing strange objects." The one-eyed female researcher added.
"Oh." Sun Hang nodded, took out his mobile phone, and sent another message to Yang Qi.
"How is the situation now at the Chengnan Cemetery?"
"It is not optimistic. The time in the abnormal area does not seem to be synchronized with the outside world. It is still night and the blood moon has not disappeared. All personnel involved in the operation have returned to the camp and the search and rescue operation has temporarily stalled." Yang Qi replied.
"Then there shouldn't be anything you want me to do now, right?"
"Continue to be on standby in the city. In addition, be careful of the people from the Tianfu City Management Committee... They may put pressure on the research institute or hunters and force you to enter the abnormal area." Yang Qi said.
"Are you texting my sister?" At this time, Yang Lian suddenly came over and asked in a low voice.
"You look quite cold. Why do you still like to peek at the screen?" Sun Hang put away his phone and put on a disgusted expression.
"...I'm not interested in peeking at your screen." Yang Lian's expression suddenly became stiff. "I just received her message. She asked me to take good care of you during this period of time, so that you don't get caught. A strong man - these are my sister’s original words.”
"I think she entrusted the wrong person." Sun Hang glanced at her, "I still vividly remember the scene when you forced me to sign the contract of betrayal."
"I just follow the process." Yang Lian said.
"So now your sister's private commission is also your work process?"
"No, but she is your direct person in charge. Before she is dismissed from her position or dies, no one is allowed to give orders to you over her." Yang Lian said expressionlessly, "And what I hate the most is The problem is that some people abuse their power and do things that are not in compliance with the rules and regulations for their own career.”
"...How many years have you been working in the Investigation Bureau?" Sun Hang suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated to the topic at hand.
"Why are you asking this?" "It's just a random question. If it's not convenient for you to answer, forget it."
"Seven years." Yang Lian said, "I took part in the Investigation Bureau's recruitment assessment right after graduating from college and joined the Investigation Bureau with the first place."
"I joined the company with the top score in the school recruitment and have been working for seven years...Why are you still doing these jobs?" Sun Hang commented, "You have been so miserable. You must have offended a lot of people, right?"
Yang Lian glared at him and said nothing.
"Okay, the matter has been solved. I have to find something to eat... To be honest, I am still thinking about the bowl of Chaoshou that I didn't eat even one bite of in the morning." Sun Hang said.
Although the kind-hearted uncle stuffed himself a few pieces of brown sugar glutinous rice cake, Sun Hang only had time to stuff one piece into his mouth, and the rest was cut into pieces along with his clothes. The piece he is wearing now The clothes were something he pulled out from the ruins.
Devouring strange things can bring Sun Hang an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, but it cannot fill his empty stomach in reality.
"Uh, please wait a moment." The one-eyed female researcher said suddenly, ran back to the car quickly, brought over a large bag of snacks, and stuffed it into Sun Hang, "If you haven't had breakfast, first Use these to cushion your stomach, we still need you to make a record... Although it is too late to do it after returning to the institute, but..."
The female researcher suddenly showed a flattering smile to Sun Hang, which made Sun Hang a little confused.
"She's bribing you." Yang Lian's voice interrupted. Researchers in the institute want to improve their professional titles. The most important assessment indicator is the research reports on various monsters, and the battle records between hunters and monsters are It is very important research data - if you take notes here, she will put her name at the front of the subsequent research report. But if you take notes after you return to the institute, the report will have nothing to do with her. Big.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Sun Hang glanced at the bag of potato chips that he had just torn open, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... His hand speed was still too fast.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Being short-tongued, Sun Hang had no choice but to briefly describe the battle record just now - but in this way, the matter of the alien long sword could no longer be hidden.
It is impossible for an artifact to appear out of thin air, and Sun Hang is too lazy to make up more lies just for the sake of one lie... What's more, with the ability of the Artificial Object Research Institute, as long as they are given enough time, they should be able to discover it. The relationship between this special-shaped long knife and himself.
The reason why he chose to remain silent before was because he was thinking about how to report the matter in order to minimize the negative impact on himself.
Sun Hang's abilities and the types of strange creatures he is infected with are kept secret from the outside world, so he is vague in many places and it is difficult for others to delve into them. According to Sun Hang's description, this alien long knife has become his own "ability" to use. A makeshift weapon that forcibly pinched many steel bars together - and this makeshift weapon inexplicably turned into a strange thing after cutting down "Tai Sui".
What he said were all truths, but these truths could easily lead the other party to think that the alien long knife was "infected" by Tai Sui...
As for the ability to "create strange objects", normal people would not even think about it in that direction.
Sun Hang suddenly felt that the research institute had determined that the strange thing that infected him was "Taotie", so no matter what kind of ability he had - as long as it was not too outrageous, it would generally not arouse suspicion.
After all, when asked, all he had to do was say that he had swallowed other monsters and gained their abilities. In addition, the characteristics and abilities of monsters were ever-changing, which made his excuse a little more reasonable.
However, these things are how others see themselves and what they want others to see.
But what about the facts?
Sun Hang had some doubts... was the strange thing that infected him really a "taotie"?
