Hunter of Mysterious Creature

Chapter 700 14: "Auntie

"Shut up," Sun Hang whispered.

Xue Yue was startled and pressed her lips tightly together.

"I wasn't talking to you." Sun Hang waved his hand. "Continue, what other special abilities do you have?"

"Special abilities... My strength is a bit greater than the average person, but to avoid drawing attention, I've never dared to show it too obviously..."

Before Xue Yue could finish speaking, a Fungus Puppet suddenly separated from Sun Hang's side. The puppet walked forward expressionlessly and stopped less than a meter in front of Xue Yue.

"Use all your strength and punch this puppet," Sun Hang said.

"O-okay."

Xue Yue quickly nodded, then stepped back and assumed a position to exert force.

Though her body was slender and delicate, the physical strength of her muscles and bones was clearly beyond that of an ordinary person. As her muscles tensed all over her body, Sun Hang could distinctly feel an unusual sense of power.

This strange feeling was like having a skinny, frail child in front of you, yet capable of delivering a punch strong enough to kill a bull.

"Yah!"

Xue Yue let out a low shout, and a straight punch with a whistling wind sound hit the Fungus Puppet's abdomen, making it stagger back more than ten steps before barely steadying itself.

An obvious dent appeared on the Fungus Puppet's abdomen.

Through his connection with the Fungus Puppet, Sun Hang could basically determine that Xue Yue's punch just now had a strength between 270 and 290 kilograms.

This data could already rival many top boxers, though it still hadn't broken the limits of human physiology.

"Was that punch just now at full strength?" Sun Hang asked Xue Yue for confirmation.

"Yes." Xue Yue nodded.

"Anything else?"

"I'm also a fast runner, can hold my breath underwater for a long time... Oh, right, if my body gets injured, the recovery speed is fast too... I've observed other humans, injuries that would take them several days to heal, I can recover completely in at most half a day."

Sun Hang glanced at Xue Yue's knee, which not too long ago had been a bloody mess, now scabbed over... and as for the previous abrasions on her body, they were almost all healed.

"Do these capabilities become stronger as you absorb more negative emotions?" Sun Hang asked, "For example, you initially had a punch strength of only 100 kilograms, then after absorbing negative emotions for a month, your punch strength increased to 120 kilograms... Has anything like that happened?"

One point Sun Hang first needed to confirm was whether this supernatural entity had the potential for growth... If it could continuously become stronger by absorbing negative emotions, then Sun Hang would have to be more cautious—nobody could guarantee that if allowed to grow unabated, it wouldn't become a monster in the future that even Sun Hang couldn't handle.

Xue Yue shook her head repeatedly: "When I first entered this body, it happened... but at that time I hadn't discovered that the black mist could fill my stomach..."

"You mean, after possessing Xue Yue's body, the body's physiological functions quickly rose to this level in a short time and haven't changed since?"

"Yes."

"Then what's the use of absorbing those negative emotions? Just to fill your stomach?" Sun Hang was puzzled,

This makes no sense!

Not to mention supernatural entities eating, humans would at least put on weight when they eat, right? It couldn't be that this creature's metabolism just happens to be finely balanced, so all the negative emotions it absorbs are precisely consumed, resulting in this bizarre situation of 'absorbing for nothing'.

"Then after absorbing those negative emotions, do you gain the memories of those people?" Sun Hang asked again.

"Memories? Never... if it weren't for hearing you say it, I wouldn't have known those black mists were humans' negative emotions..." Xue Yue mumbled.

"What did you originally think those black mists were?"

"A kind of... food."

Sun Hang sighed with some helplessness.

He suddenly felt that this Xue Yue was a bit too naive, so naive that it even made Sun Hang suspect whether she was pretending to be ignorant.

"Then if you don't absorb the black mist for a while... don't absorb these negative emotions, what will happen?" Sun Hang changed the angle of questioning, "Will your physical abilities decline?"

"No... I'd just feel extremely hungry, that feeling is terrifying, when I'm extremely hungry, all sorts of chaotic and... terrifying thoughts flood my mind..." A touch of panic appeared on Xue Yue's face, "But after I'm 'full', I can't remember those thoughts at all, I just remember they were all very scary..."

"Hmm..." Sun Hang pondered as he pinched his chin.

For Xue Yue, it seems human negative emotions are like a 'stabilizer', without periodic intake, its mental state seems to fall into a very 'dangerous' condition.

It's just unclear what those thoughts, which it described as 'very terrifying', actually mean...

This creature, could it have a split personality... a split supernatural nature?

The outer persona is a timid, harmless underage girl, while the inner persona is a cruel, merciless, bloodthirsty dark lord?

It must rely on absorbing those negative emotions to satisfy the 'needs' of the inner persona, otherwise, the inner persona would gain control of the body?
