Trickster Hunter

Chapter 55 Crystal Ball

"What is that?" Sun Hang asked subconsciously.

"An artifact-like artifact that was housed by Tianfu City's Institute of Weird Objects can greatly enhance human memory, and can even unearth those memory fragments hidden deep in the mind." Wang Xiyi said.

"Is there such a thing? Does this thing have any side effects?" Sun Hang asked with a thought.

"Of course, the images recalled with the help of it will continue to flash before your eyes for a period of time in the future, or appear in your dreams for several days in a row. If there is long-term and high-intensity exposure, it will also Causes those who come into contact with 'hyperamnesia'."

"I know about this thing. The Investigation Bureau has a file on this weird artifact." Yang Lian took over the conversation and said, "Its original owner was a seventeen-year-old girl who couldn't bear the effects of 'hyperamnesia'. She committed suicide due to severe mental stress and her parents called the police. After a careful search of the girl's room, this strange thing was found. However, because this strange thing was not too dangerous, and if used properly, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, the investigation bureau and the research institute did not choose to destroy it. It’s a weird thing, but it’s sealed up.”

Soon, a helicopter belonging to Tianfu City's Research Institute of Mysteries landed at the air force base. Four researchers in white coats pushed a metal cabinet with small rollers underneath and got out of the cabin.

"Be careful, don't get frostbite!"

After entering three password locks and iris verification, the door of the metal cabinet was pushed open to one side, and a white cold air suddenly emerged from the cabinet.

A glass ball with a base was carefully taken out of the cabinet by a researcher wearing protective gloves.

This glass ball is the kind of Christmas crystal ball that is very common in toy stores. It is filled with water, and there is a small and exquisite Christmas tree and a snowman doll dressed as Santa Claus. When the crystal ball is turned upside down , those "snowflakes" made of foam chips will accumulate on the top of the ball, and when they turn back, they will fall down like real snow.

It can indeed be regarded as a small ornament full of girly hearts.

"It was preserved in an environment of more than 100 degrees below zero. The liquid inside has not frozen, and the glass sphere has not cracked... There is a saying. This alone is enough to show that this thing is abnormal." Sun Hang observed while observing Looking at the crystal ball, he said.

Yang Lian glanced at the tablet in his arms and said, "The institute has tested Ji 1992. Its sphere has a Mohs hardness of nine, which is comparable to diamond."

"Then how do you use this thing?" Sun Hang asked as he walked around the crystal ball.

"Press your palms on it, and then try to recall what you want to remember." Yang Lian said, "That's what it says on the file."

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple." Yang Lian put away the tablet, "But remember not to touch it for more than 120 seconds at a time, otherwise, the side effects will be enough to make you uncomfortable for several days."

"Understood." Sun Hang took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and gently pressed his palm on the top of the crystal ball.

A bone-chilling chill emanated from the surface of the crystal ball, passing along Sun Hang's arms and reaching his brain.

Sun Hang shivered uncontrollably, but it was not because of the cold, but because of the pleasure.

It was difficult for him to describe the feeling of a clear mind, as if he had concentrated his attention to the extreme and eliminated all distracting thoughts.

If possible, he would even want to keep pressing this crystal ball until the end of time.

The moment this idea came up, Sun Hang was startled, and his consciousness was suddenly pulled back from the clouds. Unknowingly, cold sweat was oozing out from his back, and his sweat-soaked shirt clung to his skin. .

"Damn, this thing is a bit evil." Sun Hang muttered in his heart, "I almost fell into its trap."

"Fifteen seconds have passed." said a researcher nearby who was responsible for timing.

"Don't disturb him." Wang Xiyi walked to Sun Hang's side and separated him from the others.

Sun Hang took a deep breath, gathered his mind, and began to recall the scene he saw during the second resonance.

The picture was now so blurry that it looked like it was covered with a thick mosaic, but as the bone-deep chill washed back and forth in Sun Hang's sea of ​​consciousness, the mosaic on the picture was being "washed" away little by little, and those The deformed outline of the building becomes clearer and clearer, and various details begin to emerge.

Finally, the virtual clock on the roof of the Financial Center Building appeared in Sun Hang's field of vision.

The shorter hour hand is one quarter below the number "3", while the longer minute hand is directly opposite the number "3".

In the upper left corner of the dial, it is also written in pixel bold: May 19, 4719 in the lunar calendar.

Three fifteen minutes, the time when the picture Sun Hang saw during the second resonance was exactly three fifteen minutes this afternoon!

Sun Hang took another deep breath, looked at the researcher in charge of timing, and asked calmly: "How many seconds have passed?"

"Forty seconds," the researcher replied. "You have eighty seconds left."

"Did you succeed?" Yang Lian asked anxiously from the side, "Have you seen the clock on the Financial Center Building?"

"It's still a little short, wait a moment." Sun Hang said softly, closing his eyes again and entering a state of meditation.

For him, figuring out the time point of the second resonance is actually only a secondary goal.

His main purpose is to use the power of this crystal ball to find back his lost memories.

After Sun Hang listened to Wang Xiyi's description of this strange thing, he realized that this was a rare opportunity.

Sun Hang pressed both hands on the crystal ball and began to push his memory back little by little, all the way to the moment when he just woke up from the hospital bed.

His memory was disconnected here, just like a film cut by a knife.

With the "chill", Sun Hang tried to continue "pushing" forward, and vaguely, he seemed to feel a layer of extremely tough membrane.

This membrane wrapped up all the memories before he was attacked, making him unable to touch it.

"Try harder."

Sun Hang could feel that as long as he could break through that membrane, all the "lost" memories would be found back.

He didn't really forget those memories, but those memories were sealed up by an unknown force.

"...Try harder."

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to regain memory.
