Chapter 252: Extraordinary Hunter
In the distribution of extraordinary power in the world, the strongest country may be Jiuyou, or the United States, but the weakest country is undoubtedly Australia. Because there are a large number of "transcendent hunters" in this country, Australia is the last country that transcendents want to go to.
Transcendental hunters are mortals, but they hunt transcendental. Australia is a typical country of immigrants and has been described by sociologists as a "platter of nations". The British first used Australia as a place of exile for prisoners, and most of the exiles were extremely harmful to society, but in this way, they brought great harm to the aborigines of Australia.
The aborigines rose up against the Extraordinary Hunters as early as the 18th century, and they were familiar with all kinds of extraordinary abilities and mastered many special weapons to fight the Transcendent.
The birthplace of the Transcendent Hunter was in Australia, where almost all of the earliest Aborigines knew how to fight the Transcendent. As the power of the Australian Transcendental Hunter gradually increased, they overwhelmed the Transcendent with a numerical advantage. Later, Australia became a "pure land", where mortals from all over the world who did not want to be ruled by the transcendent came here, and it also became a forbidden area for the transcendent.
It wasn't until after World War II, when the global transcendent realm jointly formulated peace regulations that strictly forbade transcendental interference with civil order, that transcendent hunters stopped growing. The transcendent has become low-key, and most mortals no longer believe in the existence of a "superman" in the world.
However, some ancient hunter families still train their offspring to become extraordinary hunters from an early age.
The most famous hunters in the world today are the Wachowski siblings, both born in Australia and born to hunters. When the two siblings were very young, their parents were killed by an S-Class Transcendent during a hunting operation.
The two siblings were orphaned, grew up in a welfare home, and both joined the army as snipers when they were young. During a mission in Afghanistan, the two men fired in concert and fired at a leader from 2,800 meters away, and the brother and sister fired at the same time, and the leader was killed six seconds later. To this day, the Wachowski siblings hold the record for the farthest sniper shot.
After retiring, the duo stayed true to their ancestral legacy, and they could have competed for a medal in the shooting category at the Olympics, but they still chose to become extraordinary hunters.
For these two people, transcendence should not exist in this world, and in the nearly twenty years since their retirement, countless transcendents have died at their hands. The two of them didn't kill indiscriminately, but for money. In fact, this is also the case with most Transcendent Hunters, as the cost of killing one Transcendent is too high.
Like the Wachowski siblings, the only weapon used was the civilian 12.7 mm M82A1 "Barrett" anti-materiel rifle. This sniper rifle is common in the military, and although there are now rifles with better performance, the siblings are reluctant to change them.
The guns they use are ordinary guns, but the bullets they use are not ordinary bullets. This is a special "high-explosive bullet" specially made for the extraordinary, similar to Maoshan's spell, which compresses and stores spiritual energy in utensils, this bullet is called "soul extinguishing bullet", and the price of different levels of bullets is also different. The highest-level soul extinguishing projectile on the black market has been sold for $100,000 a piece, but even this kind of bullet is only a great threat to the B-rank and below the extraordinary, because most of the A-class supernaturals can surpass the bullet speed and at least be able to escape. As for the S-class transcendent, unless he stood still, maybe a minute or two of strafing would be able to deal damage. For Transcendent Hunters, the Soul Slayer Projectile does not shoot bullets, but money.
The Wachowski siblings received a large order a few days ago, and the middleman told them that the commission for this business was 5 million US dollars, and in addition to the 20% intermediary fee, they also got 4 million US dollars. The two did not hesitate to take on the task, and the task stated that the target person would never be A-level or above, and if it was really A-level or S-level extraordinary, even if the task failed, the employer would still pay the full commission. Moreover, the two waited for the instructions before they did it, and they did not have to shoot before waiting for the instructions, and in this case, the employer would also pay half of the commission.
The Wachowski siblings had never taken on such an easy errand, it was simply a gift of money. The two came to Japan under false identities, explored the terrain early, and found the best sniper position. The Supreme Court of Japan has a wide view of the area, but the nearest building is two kilometers away. It is almost impossible for an ordinary sniper to shoot the target, but the Wachowski siblings are no ordinary snipers, both of them are the best shooters in the world, and working together is like buying double insurance.
Both sniper rifles were assembled, and inside the sight was a window, the curtain was closed, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

In the Supreme Inquisition, the scene was noisy, almost like a bazaar, and the chief referee kept knocking on the small hammer in his hand to signal silence.
But the people here are all people who stand at the pinnacle of power in Japan, and no one really obeys anyone. The opposition parties and the ruling parties engaged in a war of scolding, throwing dirty water on each other, and the public prosecution case turned into a power quarrel.
Shinzo Koizumi and the cabinet members apparently made ample preparations to overturn the charges against them one by one. Some of the scandals circulating on the Internet are difficult to find tangible evidence, and Koizumi claims that these are false incidents deliberately fabricated by well-intentioned people in the opposition party with the intention of overthrowing the authorities and becoming the ruling party. Such acts have greatly undermined the political stability of Japan and should be severely punished.
Naturally, the prime minister's attitude angered the opposition parties even more, but there was no fighting. In capitalist countries, there is often a farce in the National Assembly, with shoes thrown and spit, and people of various parties and factions fighting and bloodshed, and the figures at the center of power become like shrews in the mountains. In the Nine Shadows of Socialism, this is simply unimaginable.
From time to time, people in the venue would glance at the doctor in front of the stage. More than a dozen doctors at Mita Hospital were busy working on the DNA sequencer, and they felt the pressure that the results of the gene comparison would affect the entire Japanese political situation.
As the minutes passed, the councillors in the venue were noisy and their mouths were dry. Only when the reporters are still passionate, constantly shooting at the scene in the stadium, and thinking about how to write the news headline in their minds, it is exciting enough.
There were many police officers in the stadium to maintain order, but no one paid attention to these police officers, and even the chairman of the Japanese Public Security Commission (Minister of Public Security) was scolded in the stadium.
It was almost 12 noon when the doctors at Mita Hospital finally came out with the results.
A middle-aged man in a white lab coat walked up to the microphone, and the scene suddenly fell silent, except for the shutter of the camera.
The doctor held two report sheets in his hand, and the first one he read was the one placed on it: "The following is the analysis of the paternity test between Miss Ito Kawako and the baby examined: D881179 and other 19 STR loci are all human genetic markers, which follow Mendel's law of overpropagation, and can be used in combination to determine parental authority, and its cumulative non-maternal exclusion rate is 0.9999999999999."
In the above results, the alleles of the tested children can all be found from the genotype of the tested mother, and the cumulative parental authority index is calculated to be 1.2876 times 10 to the 9th power.
As a result of the identification, the child was born to Ito Kawako. ”
After reading the first report, the doctor changed another report sheet, looked at the results on it, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and prepared to read out the analysis instructions.
The atmosphere on the scene became even more depressing, and the sound of heavy breathing came from everywhere, and everyone knew that the next thing to read was the paternity test results of the baby and Shinzo Koizumi.
