Hunter of Mysterious Creature

Chapter 699 13: Xue Yue_3

"Why does this sound like a beginner's guide?" Sun Hang muttered, "Do you have a name?"

"I've used many names... To survive, I've forged many fake identities..." The girl lowered her head, "I don't even know what my name is. To survive in this city, I'm willing to do any job... as long as I can have something to eat."

For some reason, a trace of sympathy suddenly emerged in Sun Hang's heart.

Could it be because this girl's experience was somewhat similar to his own past?

Equally without identity, equally carrying mimetic anomalies... struggling to survive in a civilization entirely composed of humans, while trying every possible way not to expose one's identity...

"What have you done?"

"Supermarket cashier, handing out flyers on the street, internet café manager, electronics factory worker... I even worked at a construction site. I'm very strong, I can do all the work that adult men can do, but for some reason, the foreman kicked me out after just two days." The girl answered.

"Probably because someone reported them for hiring child labor." Sun Hang sighed, "So, your goal is just to survive?"

The girl nodded vigorously.

"After absorbing those negative emotions, have you noticed any signs of becoming stronger?" Sun Hang asked again, "I mean any kind of stronger, whether it's physical abilities or any other kind of ability, even memory and emotional stability count. Has anything changed because of absorbing those things?"

The girl thought for a while and shook her head: "I... I've never paid attention to these things."

"Why do I feel like you're living in a daze? It's strange that someone like you hasn't been noticed by Dubhe Tower and the Anomaly Investigation Bureau all this time."

"Per-perhaps it's because I've always adhered to the rules of human society... When I absorb those dark mists, I'm very careful every time... So I've never been discovered." The girl answered softly.

"Undocumented residents are very common in Chunming City." The main brain suddenly spoke, "According to statistics, about six-thousandths of people in Chunming City don't have legal identities... they've come to this city for various purposes, yet they've never been fully accepted by it."

Six-thousandths, this proportion doesn't seem high, but considering Chunming City's permanent population is over 20 million, even two-thousandths would be 120,000 people, and this number changes every day. Trying to investigate every 'undocumented resident' in the city would entail an unimaginable workload.

"I don't care what your name was before, from now on, you will be called Xue Yue." Sun Hang said.

"I... I can't use that name, it will be..." "Xue Yue" shook her head repeatedly.

"When I tell you to use it, you use it, why so much fuss?" Sun Hang said, "I'm interested in your mimetics, abilities, and background, but I promise I won't hand you over to Dubhe Tower or cut you up for research... as long as you're willing to cooperate with me, you can continue living in this city, and live better than before, without constantly worrying about being discovered by Hunters and investigators—if you want, I can even give you an 'official post,' completely legalizing your identity."

"...Really?" Xue Yue's eyes widened.

"Why not just eliminate it?" Anna's voice suddenly came from afar, drifting to Sun Hang's ear.
