Chapter 128 Level Hunter
"Team leader, the other party refused..." the subordinate said weakly, "This hunter is the boss himself. After he obtained the certificate of a high-level hunter, he founded a private monster processing company by himself, and we are currently It's a purely commercial partnership... We signed a contract with this company a week ago The contract invites them to "hunt" hunters who participate in the promotion trial by hiring them. However, this contract only mentions that we should cooperate with our actions as much as possible and not harm the lives of the trialists. It does not mention it. And they must obey our command completely..."
"Damn...the ones who are the most disobedient every time are these mercenaries!" the team leader cursed with a fragrant mouth, "Tell them that the contract is void and the person is asked to withdraw from the trial immediately. We will pay the liquidated damages! He Damn it, if you can’t do a few serious things, it will only cause more trouble!”
"We have already communicated. The other party said that money is not the key, and he does not need us to compensate for liquidated damages... His purpose is just to see the target's ability." The subordinate couldn't help lowering his voice, "What happened in the mall has already been revealed in the hunter circle. Word has spread, and this is the first time in so many years that hostages are being used as bargaining chips... In the eyes of those hunters, Sun Hang's behavior is equivalent to a slap in the face..."
< br>
"Idiot, right? Didn't he slap us in the face of Tianshu Tower? What does it have to do with these guys?"
"Team leader, don't you understand? The current position is that the hunters in Tianshu Tower and the entire Chunming City are one." The subordinate explained, "In the eyes of those hunters, our performance is too 'cowardly'. It is tantamount to bringing disgrace to all the hunters in Chunming City... And that hunter’s behavior is, in Taoist terms, called ‘finding a place’.”
"A bunch of reckless people! Don't you have any sense of the overall situation?" The team leader was so angry that he crushed the paper cup on the table into a ball and threw it towards the wall with all his strength.
"But this is not necessarily a bad thing..." the subordinate whispered, "We have tried our best to stop the hunter and fulfilled our responsibilities. What if the puppet master was really injured during the conflict? The responsibility is also borne by the hunter who did not obey the command... Team leader, don’t you think so?”

Yisu District, Shuhe Lane, a convenience store.
"Are there any skeletons following us all the time? I actually didn't sense it at all... By the way, can you control the skeleton even if it's outside your field of vision?"
"Only she can." The puppet master said softly, "Other skeletons have been recovered by Tianshu Tower, but she is different...even if I don't control her, she will always follow me."
"It seems that different types of skeletons have different characteristics and abilities..." Sun Hang muttered. For some reason, he couldn't help but think of the woman lying on the hospital bed that he had seen in the puppet master's memory. .
As the breath approached, a tall man wearing a black cloak and a "Steel Fork Unparalleled" facial makeup appeared in Sun Hang's field of vision.
"Do you know him?"
"The fourth-level hunter, codenamed 'Overlord', is the owner and main hunter of the 'Xiang's Monster Hunting Company'." The puppet master said, "He has cooperated with me in several missions in the north."
"The Monster Hunting Company?" Sun Hang was slightly startled, "Aren't all hunters under the jurisdiction of the federal government? Why does this company sound like a private organization?"
"One of the rights of level-level hunters is that if they have worked in an official organization for five years or more and passed a special review, they can apply to leave the official organization and choose to retire or find another career. Some hunters will also choose to set up a private hunting company. These companies mainly serve the wealthy and powerful, and most of them also maintain cooperative relations with the federation.”
After the puppet master finished speaking, he turned to glance at Sun Hang and found that the latter was staring at him in surprise, with a trace of doubt flashing on his expressionless face: "What's wrong?"
"I'm just surprised... you actually spoke for such a long time in one breath." Sun Hang said.
"..."
"According to this, as long as I pass this trial and work for another five years, I can regain my 'freedom'?" Sun Hang asked.
"Well, you just need to report to Tianshu Tower regularly." The puppet master nodded.
Sun Hang glanced out the window. Apparently the other party had noticed him and was walking towards the convenience store.
"Getting back to the subject, is this guy strong?" "Strong."
"What is his ability?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know? Haven't you worked together before?"
"I have not personally seen the battle between him and the monsters." The puppet master shook his head, "He is the main force responsible for hunting targets, and it is my responsibility to clear the surrounding area of the battlefield."
"Then how do you know he is strong?"
"The combat time of the three crusade missions did not exceed ten minutes."
"Hiss... it does sound like a tough fight." Sun Hang glanced at the convenience store clerk who didn't understand what was going on, and said, "Then I'd better go out and fight, otherwise this guy can probably destroy this store. Smashed.”
The appearance of "Overlord" attracted many passers-by to watch... To Sun Hang's surprise, some passers-by recognized his identity and shouted the code name "Overlord" while taking out their mobile phones. A quick snap.
Sun Hang had long heard Yang Qi say that powerful monster hunters with outstanding records have many fans of their own, and the fanaticism of these fans is no worse than that of groupies - some peripherals or products signed by top hunters. They are souvenirs and can even sell for incredibly high prices.

In the Xiazhou Federation, there is a very strange phenomenon: the farther away from the border, the less frequent the occurrence of monsters in the city, the less discrimination people have against infected people and hunters; on the contrary, in places where monsters are often plagued by disasters, people will Most of them keep a respectful distance from hunters.
In a city like Chunming City, it is difficult for people to personally feel the threat of monsters to their survival. In their eyes, monster hunters are more like superheroes with super powers. They support justice and are omnipotent in heaven and earth. In order to build public confidence, the Xiazhou Federation will also carry out publicity and momentum building in this area.
But in border cities like Tianfu City, the situation is completely different.
Invasions of monsters are a common occurrence, and hunters are no longer "stars" who only appear on the stage and screen. "Perfect heroes" have always only existed in beautiful promotional videos and never existed in reality. among.
Every time a monster attacks, there will be a large number of casualties. Some of these casualties come from the monsters, and some come from hunters.
These victims will only become a number on the file in the end. They may be insignificant to the entire federation, but to themselves, it is the end of everything.
Sun Hang suddenly understood why Tianshu Tower wanted to build a school specializing in the study of strange objects in Tianfu City.
Sun Hang opened the door and walked out of the convenience store.
And dozens of steps away from him, the "Overlord" also stopped.
A pair of black eyes looked at Sun Hang up and down through the peephole on the Peking Opera mask.
"Are you the guy who... kidnapped the 'Puppet Master'?" "Overlord" asked in a deep voice.
