Hunter of Mysterious Creature

Chapter 694 11: Spiderman_2

Sun Hang pushed open the fire door, and straight ahead was a corridor, with doors on each side—some were double glass doors, through which everything inside was clearly visible, while others were original security doors of the office building, looking no different from the doors of a regular residential building.

On the door to Sun Hang's left hung a sign for "Bo Yuan Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd." However, judging by the thick layer of dust on the sign and doorknob, as well as the seal on the door, this company had likely gone out of business many years ago—after all, now the only remaining human civilization government in the world was the Xiazhou Federation, so there is no longer such a thing as import and export trade.

Sun Hang had seen some so-called import and export companies in Tianfu City, but these companies were all involved in buying and selling things, completely different from those real import and export companies of the old era.

On Sun Hang's right were two bright glass doors, with a silhouette of a long-haired woman printed on them. Inside were rows of barber chairs, with a "Tony" boredly sitting on a sofa playing on his phone, while farther away, a customer was getting her hair permed, her entire head wrapped in a large perm cap, making it impossible for Sun Hang to see her appearance.

But it didn't matter if he couldn't see clearly, the "source" absorbing the black fog was ahead, not in this barbershop.

"A barbershop on the nineteenth floor... It actually still gets customers..." Sun Hang complained in his heart as he continued walking forward.

Most of the offices rented on the nineteenth floor were occupied by small companies with only a few people or small-scale studios. Sun Hang even saw a studio specializing in making Ultraman suits; although the suits displayed in the window looked a bit worn, they were very similar to the originals in the show—"After this is over, I should buy a couple to bring back and give to Mr. Wang, she should like them." Sun Hang thought silently.

Sun Hang didn't linger at the studio's door but continued forward with the flowing black fog—finally, he stopped in front of room number 1925.

The black fog coming from all directions gathered around Sun Hang, slipping into this room.

"Here?"

Sun Hang was a bit puzzled. If that mysterious creature was hiding behind the door, why couldn't he feel even the slightest trace of its presence?

Was the other party's ability to hide too strong, or had his own sensing ability degenerated?

However, even with such an elusive creature, when it feeds—especially when drawing such a large range of human negative emotions—it's almost impossible to not expose its presence.

Using abilities would definitely affect the disguise, especially at such a close distance; it's impossible to deceive Sun Hang's senses.

Yet Sun Hang's senses repeatedly told him there was no mysterious creature behind this door.

Originally intending to scout with mycelium through the door gap, Sun Hang decided that it risked alerting the enemy, so he directly grabbed the doorknob of room 1925.

Mercury-like liquid metal flowed out from his sleeves, streaming along Sun Hang's forearm, wrist, and fingertips, slowly entering the keyhole, quickly filling the gaps inside.

The liquid metal solidified, Sun Hang gently turned the doorknob, and with a "click," the door opened.

Room 1925 was a bare-shell room, with walls and flooring still in the original cement color. Various pipelines and circuit interfaces were exposed, and against the wall, there was a pile of renovation debris from an unknown source.

There were no partitions in the room, the entire space was unobstructed.

There was no one inside, nor any mysterious creature.

The gathered black fog drifted out of the window, cascading down like a waterfall.

"Damn, seems like I've been played." Sun Hang realized that this room 1925 was a decoy set by the mysterious creature to mislead trackers... and its real hiding place was elsewhere!

Since room 1925 was a decoy, entering this room must have alerted the target...

As expected, just a few seconds after Sun Hang opened the door, the mysterious creature stopped absorbing negative emotions, the gathered black fog began to disperse, and then the last wisp of black fog, following its previous trajectory, drifted out of the window, clinging to the office building's glass curtain wall, descending rapidly.

"Oh no, I'm going to lose track!"

Without a second thought, Sun Hang quietly cut a one-meter diameter hole in the glass window using a "sharp blade" effect added liquid metal blade, and leapt through the opening.

The speed of the descending black fog was much faster than free fall, so Sun Hang had to, like Spiderman, use mycelium pulling to accelerate and chase closely behind the black fog—in this downtown area, using electromagnetic acceleration could easily result in hitting something, and sometimes it wasn't rare to accidentally hit and kill a few people.

Falling rapidly along the glass curtain wall, Sun Hang was quickly noticed by the people on Yong'an Street below, and with a gasp, many people whipped out their phones to snap photos of him.

In desperation, Sun Hang applied a "fogging" effect to his face, manually pixelating himself, and continued pursuing that final wisp of escaping black fog.

The black fog didn't land directly, but came to an abrupt stop about ten meters above ground, then started moving horizontally at high speed.

Two strands of mycelium shot out from Sun Hang's palms, anchoring at the top of a streetlight and the bottom of the elevated railway above the street.

Sun Hang pulled hard, instantly stretching the two strands of mycelium taut—after being extended several dozen times, using the force from the mycelium, Sun Hang propelled himself like a slingshot.

"Whoa, Spiderman!"

"Mom, look! It's Spiderman! The movies weren't lying!"

"Is this filming an action movie? I think I saw cameras nearby?"

"A Mysterious Creature Hunter! That person must be a Mysterious Creature Hunter!"

Yong'an Street suddenly erupted, the flow of people reversed immediately, and many people started chasing in Sun Hang's direction.

This left the traffic enforcement personnel who were maintaining order at the street corner dumbfounded—on holidays, Yong'an Street was already crowded, so they had to be vigilant at all times to prevent shoving or trampling incidents, but now, a "Spiderman" that had appeared out of nowhere had ignited the entire crowd.

"Requesting support! Yong'an Street entrance number four requests support!"

"There's a public disturbance, repeating, a public disturbance!"

"There's a potentially Mysterious Creature Hunter young male swiftly moving over Yong'an Street using threads! Contact Dubhe Tower and Anomaly Investigation Bureau immediately to see if they have a Hunter executing a task on Yong'an Street!"

"We need to increase manpower by fourfold... no, fivefold! We can't stop the frenzied crowd, they're all chasing that young male, and some distant unsuspecting tourists are also rushing over!"

"Seal off the information! Immediately seal off information! Maintain order! If necessary, authorize the use of non-lethal weapons!"

For a while, the Traffic Control Bureau and Public Security Bureau were thrown into chaos, and the enforcement officers wearing reflective vests formed a human barricade, trying to block the crowd. However, they only lasted less than twenty seconds before the fragile barricade was broken by the crowd.

The instigator of all this had already leapt a few times, vanishing from their sight.
