Hunter of Mysterious Creature

Chapter 881 - 112: Blood Corrosion Banquet (Part 2)

Main Brain: "Regarding this information, Dubhe Tower is currently investigating."

"I have read Cheng Ming’s report as well; even he doesn’t know why he wasn’t affected by the ’Blood Feast’..."

The Candle Dragon wanted to say something, but Ya Qiaoxi interrupted him, "Why are you missing the point? The point isn’t why Cheng Ming survived, but the illegal infectee! Why did such an illegal infectee appear on the high-speed train? That’s the most concerning issue! There are only a few dozen people in a carriage, but what if this illegal infectee lost control in a crowded city? How many people would be infected?"

"Currently, train station staff are under scrutiny, but no clues have been found yet," the Main Brain responded mechanically.

"Could it be some Cult Organization?" Candle Dragon pondered, "But to bypass all checks and place such a dangerous illegal infectee on a high-speed train... it’s hard to imagine the power backing this organization."

"Is it that difficult?" Sun Hang asked.

"Even a member of the Federation Council would find it hard," Candle Dragon said, "It requires more than just power."

"All surveillance cameras at the station and in the train areas have been checked, and there is no sign of the illegal infectee boarding. The illegal infectee appeared on the surveillance in the carriage thirty seconds before the train started, but there was no trace of her passing through other areas connected to that carriage. The technical department has confirmed that all surveillance videos show no signs of malicious tampering."

"So, this illegal infectee appeared out of nowhere in the carriage?" Candle Dragon furrowed his brow even tighter, "Teleportation, or some other means... but in any case, it must be related to time or space capabilities, dealing with such capability users is the most troublesome..."

"Trouble is not our trouble," Sun Hang looked slightly puzzled at Candle Dragon, "This should be Dubhe Tower’s headache, what does it have to do with us?"

Candle Dragon pointed at himself, then at Sun Hang, and said, "But we are from Dubhe Tower, and you are also..."

He glanced at Ya Qiaoxi and Suyue beside him and didn’t continue.

"The only thing this has to do with us is that these people are coming here to participate in the hunting action, otherwise, there’s no reason for me to get involved," Sun Hang shrugged, "Illegal infectees, Cult Organizations... if such matters require us two thousand kilometers away, then I fear the Xiazhou Federation and human civilization are already beyond saving."

"Your tone is quite something..." Ya Qiaoxi said somewhat displeased, "As if you’re the only Hunter left in all of Xiazhou."

"That’s why this isn’t our concern," Sun Hang turned to look at the collapsed area, "Compared to the big guy in the pit, ’Blood Feast’ isn’t even worthy of carrying its shoes."

"Dubhe Tower has already set up a special investigative team, we indeed don’t need to worry about this," Candle Dragon said, "However, Cheng Ming hasn’t given up participating in the hunting action."

"That surprises me a bit," Sun Hang’s expression showed mild astonishment, "I thought after escaping death he’d give himself a long vacation to rest... his ability to adjust is quite something. What about the other three?"

"The other three are receiving treatment at the local Mysterious Creature Research Institute, and their action plans have been temporarily canceled," Candle Dragon added, "Cheng Ming stated he was participating in this action for the reward, so he couldn’t give up."

Ya Qiaoxi looked at Candle Dragon somewhat speechlessly, "Weren’t the participants lured by the huge bounty? What he said is redundant."

"Dubhe Tower investigated Cheng Ming’s background; his mother is in the late stages of lung cancer and needs a lung transplant to extend survival. Currently, the only available transplantation organs come from the Fourth Biological Research Institute under Dubhe Tower, which can clone and cultivate human organs. He’s earning the reward to pay for his mother’s organ cultivation and transplant costs," Candle Dragon added.

"Such filial people are rare these days..." Ya Qiaoxi sighed, "Speaking of which, is your Dubhe Tower so inhumane? Cheng Ming has already sold his life to you, can’t you cultivate an organ for his mother for free? Does it have to cost money?"

"The rewards Mysterious Creature Hunters deserve are clearly stated in the Hunter contract, and only those with special contributions can enjoy more privileges... although I’d like to help him, I don’t have the authority to set this precedent," Candle Dragon said, moving his gaze to Sun Hang.

Ya Qiaoxi followed his gaze to Sun Hang, asking, "Does this mean Sun Hang guy has the authority?"

"He should have..." Candle Dragon scratched his head, "After all, he took down Chimera 17, with his contribution, getting Dubhe Tower to provide an organ for Cheng Ming’s mother for free shouldn’t be a problem."

"I thought you were amazing, but you can’t even get a free organ?" Ya Qiaoxi gave Candle Dragon the middle finger.

Candle Dragon could only respond with a wry smile, "I don’t have the clearance to change Dubhe Tower’s rules; at most, I can help Cheng Ming with the cost of organ cultivation, which, if I recall correctly, should be around ten million."

"Have the Fourth Biological Research Institute provide Cheng Ming’s mother with a transplant organ for free, and all surgery fees waived," Sun Hang said, "Additionally, keep this matter secret from Cheng Ming until the hunting action is completed."

"Are you worried Cheng Ming will choose to give up the action if he finds out?" Candle Dragon wondered, "I’ve seen Cheng Ming’s file, his abilities aren’t strong, even if he survives the hunting action, you couldn’t possibly select him... he might as well go back."

"No..." Sun Hang shook his head, "intuition tells me there’s something odd about this person, I want to meet him myself... no, just a moment."

"What?"

"Main Brain, modify the previous directive, officially keep this thing confidential from Cheng Ming, but behind the scenes, use some methods that won’t make him suspicious to leak it to him... as to how specifically to do it, figure it out yourself," Sun Hang said.

"What are you up to now?" Ya Qiaoxi asked, puzzled.

"I just want to confirm if Cheng Ming’s motivation for joining the hunting action is truly to cover his mother’s organ transplant costs," Sun Hang replied.

"What’s there to confirm? It’s obvious!" Ya Qiaoxi said, "For low-level Hunters like him, trying to earn that much using salary and subsidies, by the time he has enough, grass on his mom’s grave would probably be knee high. If it weren’t for this lucrative bounty task from you, who knows what crooked means he’d resort to for money."

"You’re right, but I just want to try," Sun Hang said, "Just like Candle Dragon said, if his true motivation is his mother’s treatment costs, having him give up the mission to accompany his mother is a good thing... anyway, the Main Brain will handle it well."

"Honestly, it feels like..." Ya Qiaoxi sighed deeply, "It’s like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary."
