Amid the gasps of the onlookers, he was slammed heavily into the pit once again.
"Th-That person... who is he?"
"I-I don't know!" Another passerby shook his head repeatedly. "But from their conversation, he seems to be a Hunter too! I think I heard Tyrant mention some kind of trial..."
"Am I seeing this right? Tyrant was actually getting beaten up one-sidedly by this guy? Does anyone have information on him?"
"I can't find anything. There's no information about this Hunter online at all... Wait, I found it! I found it!"
One passerby excitedly showed his phone screen to his companions. On it was a breaking news release from Chunming City's official media, titled: "City Defense Army Headquarters Spokesperson Refutes Rumors: Hostage Incident at Yi Xiu District Airport Mall Was a Drill, Not an Aberration Invasion." The first accompanying image below showed the scene of "a thousand troops retreating before the man in white."
At the time, Sun Hang had yet to regain his original appearance. The photo had been taken from high above by a drone, so the details were unclear. It only showed Sun Hang dressed in plain white, with the Puppet Master held in his arms in a princess carry.
It had to be said that official media really knew how to pick a photo—when this picture was taken, Sun Hang had just undone the Puppet Master's restraints and shifted her from under his arm into his embrace.
"White shirt, white pants, taking a hostage—and look at that girl inside the convenience store. It all matches, every bit of it!" The guy holding the phone spoke at breakneck speed. "This is the 'kidnapper' who caused a huge scene at the airport mall and fought a thousand people alone!"
"So handsome..." Another female passerby wore a lovestruck expression.
