Hunter of Mysterious Creature

Chapter 711 - 19: The Supermarket Owner (Part 2)

The supermarket boss hadn't finished speaking when Sun Hang interrupted him, nodding towards his phone, "Let's not talk about me yet, why don't you check if your call went through."

The supermarket boss looked at his phone and shockingly found that the call he had just dialed had been disconnected, and the signal strength icon at the top right corner of the screen had vanished, replaced by the text "Out of service area."

"Did you install a signal jammer nearby?" The supermarket boss looked agitated, "It seems you came prepared..."

"I'm here to discuss such an important deal with you, of course I have to be prepared." Sun Hang shrugged, "Since the call can't go through, can we sit down and talk properly? They always say, harmony is precious. What do you think, boss?"

"That's right—harmony is precious, you got that right, harmony is precious as hell." The supermarket boss said through gritted teeth. He pulled over a chair and sat down slowly—but just as his butt was about to touch the chair, he suddenly sprang up, leaping behind the cash register and drew a handgun from a hidden compartment.

The bullet in the gun was already chambered, ready to fire with just a safety release and a trigger pull.

Although the gun was a fairly mediocre replica in both craftsmanship and accuracy, at this distance, even someone with no shooting experience would hardly miss.

Without hesitation, the supermarket boss aimed the gun at Sun Hang and pulled the trigger!

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, Sun Hang staggered and took a step back, a patch of crimson slowly spread on his T-shirt over his chest.

"I originally didn't want to use a gun, you forced my hand." The supermarket boss sneered at Sun Hang, "Mentioning Mr. Lin today doomed you from walking out of here alive."

"Oh? Is that so?" Sun Hang looked down at his chest, then in the supermarket boss's monster-like gaze, he plunged his right hand into his chest, dug out the deformed bullet, and tossed it onto the checkout counter, "And then? Aren't you afraid the gunshot will attract the Public Security Bureau?"

"Wha... what the hell are you?" The supermarket boss's voice trembled for the first time as he fired several more shots consecutively at Sun Hang, each bullet hitting its mark, its kinetic force driving Sun Hang back repeatedly.

"Click." The sound of the slide locking back echoed. In an extreme state of panic, the supermarket boss had emptied the magazine in one go, leaving Sun Hang riddled with bullets and finally falling backward after a moment of stiff standing.

"Huff... huff..." The supermarket boss panted heavily, still unconsciously pulling the trigger, his face flushed red.

He really wanted to go over and confirm Sun Hang's condition, but his feet seemed welded to the ground, refusing to budge.

"Damn... damn... he must be dead now, right?" The supermarket boss muttered, "No one takes that many bullets without dying... he must be dead."

"Oh, out of bullets?" A voice that made the supermarket boss's heart stop suddenly spoke from the right, "Can we discuss business now?"

The supermarket boss turned his head stiffly, the sight nearly made his eyes pop out—the young man he had just shot to death was leaning casually against a nearby shelf, unharmed, while several white tentacle-like objects silently retracted into his back—as for the "corpse" that was shot on the floor, it had already turned into a tentacle-like thing barely recognizable as humanoid.

Almost like a mummy stripped down to just bandages.

The supermarket boss felt his heart pounding violently, hesitated for a moment, then bolted for the exit... but within two steps discovered another Sun Hang guarding the entrance, smiling at him.

"Ahhhhh!" Terror and despair seemed to have completely unleashed the supermarket boss's viciousness, and he charged at Sun Hang with full strength—

Only to be casually kicked back into the store by Sun Hang.

"Boom!!"

The supermarket boss flew like a human cannonball, smashing through the wall behind the cash register, and after sliding several meters on the ground, finally stopped at another wall's obstruction.

"Now, can we discuss business?" Sun Hang squatted down in front of the supermarket boss, helping to dust off the lime on his collar.

Got to admit, the supermarket boss sure benefited from his body fat, plowing through half a wall without breaking a bone—though his bloodied appearance seemed miserable, it was merely superficial wounds.

"...You... you... you're... the Hunter..." the supermarket boss stuttered, having completely abandoned resistance—the few attempts just now made him realize in front of this seemingly fragile young man, he was only meat on a chopping board.

Only to be slaughtered.

Sun Hang tacitly agreed with the supermarket boss's assumption, reaching out to pat his pudgy face, asking straightaway, "Not long ago, two young people, a man and a woman, came into your shop and never left again, where are they now?"

"That's... Mr. Lin's... goods..." the supermarket boss said, "You better not..."

"You better understand your current situation." Sun Hang smiled as he grabbed one of the supermarket boss's fingers, "From now on, for every 'no' you say, I will break one of your fingers and insert it into your eye socket... where are they now?"

The supermarket boss turned his head slightly, looking at the ground beside him.

Due to the middle dividing wall of the supermarket being knocked open, the two were now in the store's small warehouse, and under the dim light, there was a square iron door with a ring handle in the center of the warehouse floor.

Many places in the small warehouse had gathered dust, but the iron door and the area around it were exceptionally clean.

"Oh, down there?" Sun Hang grabbed the supermarket boss by the collar and dragged him over.

Two tendrils extended out, hooked the ring handle, and lifted the iron door, then Sun Hang tossed the supermarket boss inside.

A dull thud of flesh striking the ground sounded from below, and Sun Hang jumped in as well, landing on top of the supermarket boss.

"Ouch..." The supermarket boss cried out miserably after being used as a cushioning mat.

The supermarket's basement had obviously undergone significant modifications, the entire ceiling, walls, and floor lined with thick soundproof foam, once the iron door is shut, you wouldn't hear a rock concert from outside.

In the center of the basement were two rusty surgical beds, the two transformation containers that just entered the supermarket were lying on these beds expressionlessly.

Numerous silver needles were densely inserted in their foreheads, like acupuncture, each needle end wrapped with a thin metal wire, the other end connected to a mysterious device placed between the two surgical beds.

Every few seconds, silvery arcs of electricity flowed through the wires to them, making their bodies tremble slightly.

"What's this for? Acupuncture? Electrotherapy?" Sun Hang hoisted the supermarket boss up and asked.

"I... I don't know..." The supermarket boss gasped, "I'm just following Mr. Lin's orders... transforming this place... They come here every so often... to use the things in this room... but what these things do specifically... I really don't know..."
