Why didn't this aberration use its ability to alter things within the environment to kill Sun Hang directly... Was it because it didn't want to, or because it couldn't?
Sun Hang had been in the Investigation Bureau for less than half a month. Although he had been cramming knowledge like mad during that time, compared to seasoned investigators or hunters, he still knew far too little about aberrations.
Experience might be useless when dealing with aberrations, but "knowledge" was different from experience—given the knowledge stored in that old man in the wheelchair at the research institute, even if he encountered an aberration that had never appeared before, he could still analyze a great deal of information from minor details.
As for an ordinary person who knew nothing about aberrations, even if an aberration openly displayed its weak point right before his eyes, he might not recognize it as a weak point.
Sun Hang's current level was only slightly better than that of an ordinary person who knew nothing.
Could it be that this aberration knew it couldn't beat me head-on, so it trapped me this way? The thought suddenly surfaced in Sun Hang's mind.
Sun Hang suddenly remembered a post he had seen while mindlessly browsing the internet a couple of days ago.
The post discussed Zoo Rule Horror—the "zoo" in its story was somewhat like a composite aberration combining Environment-type and rule-based elements. The people discussing it would solemnly list a number of "strange, contradictory, and unreasonable" rules, demanding that the "visitors" entering the zoo strictly obey them.
As for the consequences of following or breaking the rules, they were never spelled out—the rule writers would create an eerie, terrifying atmosphere and repeatedly emphasize that breaking the rules would bring "very serious consequences." But how serious those consequences actually
