Chapter 162 "Amulet"
No one in this group of Angsa hunters was willing to give up the opportunity to enter the ruins underground, but no matter how fiercely they quarreled, they always maintained a tacit agreement - they never mentioned anything about what was underground in the ruins of the institute.
Even if the content of the dispute involves that thing, they will choose to use some obscure terms, such as "that thing", "target", "relic" and the like.
Sun Hang really wanted to find relevant information from the memory of the female hunter, but unfortunately, the remaining memory in the meme was only limited to the period before the death of the female hunter. Going forward, it was blank. .
Just when this group of Angsa hunters were arguing over whether to draw lots to determine the quota, a gloomy-looking male hunter suddenly said quietly:
"I have a way to get most of us into the underground ruins."
"What can we do?" Others quickly asked.
"But someone needs to make sacrifices."
"Sacrifice? What do you mean?"
"My ability can highly activate the meme in the infected person's body... Although the duration is only twelve hours, it can strengthen the characteristics of the meme several times. At the cost, the carrier of the meme will be extremely damaged. The backlash.”
"Backlash? How serious is it?"
"Death, or directly reduced to a corpse." The gloomy man said, "The principle is very simple, which is to allow the infection process to break through the safety threshold in a short period of time in exchange for more powerful capabilities."
"I don't agree!" The hunter with the ability to "shield the curse" objected immediately, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have prepared this plan at all! I am the most important person, why should you sacrifice me?! If you decide to do this, I would rather die than let you have your wish! You should weigh it yourself!"
"Actually...it doesn't make much difference whether you die or not." The gloomy man added, "After the infected person dies, the meme in the body will still exist for a while, enough for me to activate it and then solidify it in your body. .”
"Fake!"
The hunter cursed and drew out his pistol, but before he could raise the muzzle of the gun, the owner of the memory in the first-person perspective - the crazy female hunter - had already slashed him open with a small scythe. 's throat.
Sun Hang noticed that the memory owner's mental state was no longer normal at this time, and the act of killing her companions became the last straw that broke the camel's back - she threw herself directly on the dying hunter, mouthing a big mouth He took a big sip of the blood gushing out of the other party's throat.
The picture in the memory began to become distorted and crazy, and there were a lot of unexplained whispers and roars - these sounds were actually the voices of several other Angsa hunters discussing the follow-up solutions, but in the ears of the crazy female hunter , but turned into something like the whisper of an ancient god.
Several Angsa hunters moved very quickly. They cut off a section of the body and led the crazy huntress downstairs like a dog... Although the next scene cannot be seen from the perspective of the female hunter. , but Sun Hang was able to guess nine out of ten based on the scene upstairs.
The group of Angsa hunters dismembered the corpses of their companions, and then solidified his abilities into the removed body parts...the missing eyeballs, fingers, hearts, etc., actually became the tools they used to avoid the curse. amulet".
"Tsk...it's really selfish and cold-blooded." Sun Hang retreated from the memory screen and muttered in a low voice. "What is selfish and cold-blooded?" The fisherman carefully looked at the expression on Sun Hang's face and asked softly.
"I said that group of Angsa hunters...I already know why that hunter was killed."
"Why?" asked the fisherman.
"I can tell you, but don't ask me how I know." Sun Hang glanced at the fisherman, and then at Yano Zhengyi who was standing next to Huangfusha who was lying down.
"Just tell me, I won't ask." The fisherman nodded repeatedly, "Everyone who hasn't revealed his secret will understand!"
"The deceased's ability is to shield the curse, but his ability is limited and he can only bring two people with him at most. During the dispute, a female hunter who had been cursed was her." Sun Hang pointed with a bloody finger The corpse next to him, "Kill him."
"Then they killed him? Isn't it true that he can't take anyone with him? Is he crazy?" The fisherman looked speechless.
"No, one of them has the ability to amplify and solidify the characteristics of a meme. The cost is that the meme carrier will die or be transformed into a corpse." Sun Hang said, "The corpse I found before lacked Those parts were taken away by them as meme carriers.”
"Fuck... this is too damn... too crazy, isn't it?" The corners of the fisherman's eyes kept twitching, "For the sake of trial points... can they even kill their companions?"
"They are not after the trial points." Sun Hang said, "Your previous speculation is correct. They did get some exclusive information that we don't know. The purpose of this group of Angsa hunters to participate in the trial is to hide something in the Researching the things under the ruins, not to become a level hunter... I even suspect that even the top leaders of Tianshu Tower don't know this information."

"What is it? Can it be more important than the promotion trial?" the fisherman said in a stunned tone.
"I don't know." Sun Hang shook his head simply, "Besides, I don't know how they obtained this information."
"Well, I was just about to ask, but you predicted it." The fisherman muttered, "Does the appearance of Yamata no Orochi have something to do with them?"
"I don't know." Sun Hang said, "I only know that they killed a companion and abandoned this crazy female hunter for this matter... This body left me with only so much information. .”
"Speaking of which, the curse is the biggest problem we are facing now." Yano said worriedly, "Since this female hunter went crazy because of the curse, it is obvious that she was cursed not when she entered the ruins underground, but when she was in the ruins Within the range...it's even possible that the curse will take effect after we land on the island."
"Hiss... when you say that, I always feel hairy on my back." The fisherman rubbed his arms, "Damn, I'm not afraid of monsters that I can see and touch, but things like this that can't be seen or touched, There’s really nothing I can do about it.”
"There's no telling when someone among us will suddenly go crazy and become like her." Sun Hang said, "Especially after entering the underground... According to those Angsa hunters, underground, the impact of the curse will be far greater. Above the ground...On the ground, only a few people will fall into madness due to the curse. But underground, without the protection of the ability to shield the curse, it will be difficult."
