Chapter 9 Circles and Chacha
The second hunter test, second half, those who passed...46 people.
*********************************
When evening came, except for those miserable candidates who were clearly eliminated by Menqi before Li Lin, they did nothing but took advantage of Li Lin's glory. Inexplicably, all the qualified candidates boarded the exam together.
Get on the super giant airship sent by the Hunter Association and start heading to the next examination room...
On this airship, which is comparable to a luxury cruise ship, in the main control room, a staff member of the Hunter Association is explaining to the candidates...
"Hello everyone, let me explain to you now. First of all, congratulations to everyone for making it this far. Then, we will arrive at the next exam venue at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Before I contact you, everyone can have a good rest. Of course,
You can move around freely.”
…
This long day has finally passed. Everyone, including Rilin, little Lucy, and Kurapika, are exhausted and eager to find a place to have a good rest. Only the energetic Killua can do this.
Pick up Xiaojie, who has never been in a good mood, and go play the "adventure" game on this air yacht.
As for Lilin, he naturally found a comfortable place, forced himself to hold the little housekeeper and fell asleep together...
A night without words...
For some reason, the airship didn't arrive at its destination until about 9:30 in the morning. Lilin was a little surprised to find that Xiaojie, who had been in a low mood before, was now a lot more cheerful, and he had been in a state of excitement.
Killua, in his current state, is actually a bit gloomier, and his body still exudes a faint murderous aura and the smell of blood. In contrast,
Correspondingly, two more people were missing among the candidates. When they were gathering, there were only 44 people in total. It seemed that something happened during the night when he was sleeping soundly. However, Li Lin
He didn't take these things that had nothing to do with him to heart, and in the blink of an eye, he had already put this matter aside...
***************************
The landing site of the airship was the top rooftop of a strange building that resembled a giant stone pillar. It was flat and had nothing on it. The area was about the size of 100 football fields, and it was very vast.
"Here is the top of a tower known as the 'Bad Well Tower'. It is also the location of the third hunter exam. The examiner in charge of this exam asked me to announce the content of the exam to everyone on his behalf, which is to make it alive.
The bottom floor of the Jianjing Tower, the time limit is seventy-two hours, and finally... I wish everyone good luck..."
The third test officially started, and the number of participants... was 44.
After placing all the candidates on the top of the Jianjing Tower, the airship left carrying the staff of the Hunter Association.
The candidates looked at each other, each thinking about how to proceed...
The most obvious way is to climb down from the outer wall of the Jianjing Tower...
However, the difficulty of this method is naturally self-evident. The Jianjing Tower is a perfect cylindrical structure without any curvature, and the outer wall is very smooth without any obvious concave and convex parts, and the height according to visual inspection... is about the size of the Earth
Go up to the tallest building... more than three times the size of Burj Khalifa...
Although for ordinary people, this is a completely impossible choice, among the hunter candidates, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers after all. A hunter candidate who is good at rock climbing with bare hands climbed down without hesitation. His palms were like geckos.
Generally, it is possible to stick to smooth stone walls. Even the top candidates cannot do this. Of course, it is also possible that they are unwilling to do so...
After only a short while, the candidate had crawled down two to three hundred meters, but his fate had come to an end...
Hundreds of giant, vulture-like birds with human heads flew over from a short distance and ate up the rock climbing candidates who could not resist in a few mouthfuls.
If it were on flat ground, there would be no way to deal with these big strange birds, but on the smooth and straight outer wall of the Jianjing Tower, let alone fighting, it would not be easy to just fix the body. If attacked by foreign enemies,
All we can do is sit back and wait for death...
This candidate used his own life to tell everyone that going down the outer wall does not work.
"Then...there must be a door leading down somewhere!" Kurapika, who is good at thinking, said with certainty.
Naturally, there were many people who had the same idea as him, not to mention Lilin and little Lucy, who had been banging on the floor from the beginning, looking for those trap doors.
The job was not difficult. Soon, they found several secret doors very close to each other. Each secret door could only allow one person to enter once, and then it would be locked and could no longer be used.
Lilin, Xiaojie and the others got together, and after entering the interior of the Jianjing Tower through the nearest secret doors, they indeed found themselves in a completely airtight room...
Here, Lilin encountered another little trouble...
Originally, according to normal circumstances, he should be assigned to a team with little Lucy, Gon, and Kurapika, because this task of leveling the Jingjing Tower requires a team of five people to complete.
The way to form a team is to randomly enter the candidates in the same room through a secret door.
But maybe it was because of the wall separating him. Rilin clearly entered through the secret door very close to Little Lucy and the others. But when Rilin noticed the people around him, he discovered that there was someone who should have appeared around him.
No one...
Little Lucy, Gon, Killua, and Kurapika are not here. Instead, there are a few unfamiliar faces. Fortunately, Rilin still recognizes them...
The new killer Dongba is a short, fat man who looks kind and friendly but is actually full of bad intentions;
A beautiful young girl with dark green hair and a big hat, Peng Si, the Royal Bee Messenger;
A young man with a bow and arrow on his back aims to become a phantom beast hunter, Bokuer;
In the end, the horror and weird man of the nail head shape. The tower is bitter. Of course, his true identity is the eldest son of the killer family to beat the enemy Hakka.
.
When Lilin entered the secret room, he was instantly enveloped by a piercing murderous intent. Lilin looked around and saw that the source of the murderous intent was indeed the robot-like nail-headed weirdo.
As expected, Jita Laku slowly walked towards Lilin, as if he wanted to make Lilin pay the price for trying to "poison" his beloved brother...
Faced with the angry attack of Ilmi, who is as powerful as Hisoka, with Rilin's current strength... I'm afraid the best result is to choose the one you like better between instant kill and instant kill...
"Ah, Mr. Jita Laku, no matter what you want to do now, please wait for a moment, okay?" Lilin said with a smile on his face: "My current identity is Mr. Hisoka, no,
It's Miss Hisoka's most beloved 'little apple'. I think you don't want to ruin your relationship because of me. Besides, in this cheap well tower, killing me seems to make you
There is no way to pass the exam..."
As if to confirm Lilin's words, some words suddenly appeared on the only monitor in the secret room...
"The road to voting: From here to the end, the five of you must move forward based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority..."
Then, a platform stretched out from the ground, and five watch-like things were placed on it. On each surface at hand, there was a time display of 71 hours and 45 minutes, and the time continued to decrease. It should be this time
The test time is limited. In addition, there are two buttons on the surface...a circle and a big cross, which should be the function keys for selecting agree and reject.
Lilin picked up a watch and put it on his wrist, then looked at Jitala and smiled bitterly: "Look, if there are less than five people, there is no way for others to move forward."
"Chirp chirp chirp quack quack..." Jita Laku made a strange sound, and then he picked up a watch expressionlessly and put it on his wrist. Before, he didn't want to get involved in what was obviously a personal grudge.
Between Lilin and Jita Laku, several other candidates who had been huddled in the corner without saying a word each picked up a watch and put it on their wrists...
When five people started their watch timers at the same time, the one-meter-thick stone door finally slowly opened...
"Let's go! Let's set off!" Dongba took the lead and said enthusiastically.
Although they were in a weird atmosphere, everyone's primary goal was to complete the hunter exam, so they followed closely. As soon as they walked not far away, another heavy metal door blocked the way...
The display on the door showed the following words again...
"Do you want to open the gate? Circle - yes, cross - no."
"What good choice is there? Of course I choose yes..." Everyone pressed the button on the watch. As a result, except for Li Lin who pressed the big cross on a whim, everyone else was in circles.
"Who pressed the cross?" Dongba looked at the other three people except Jita Laku with a gloomy look.
"Sorry, it's me." Lilin smiled.
"You bastard, is there something wrong with your eyes? You can even see circles and crosses wrongly." Dongba squinted at Jita Laku, and then said with a malicious sarcasm on his face, despite his short stature.
Despite his funny appearance, in fact, in terms of real strength, he really doesn't take Rilin seriously. After all, he is a veteran who has taken the hunter exam for decades and is still alive, even though he didn't have any eye-catching performance in the original work.
, but Dongba’s true strength is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.
"Eh? Did I say I didn't do it unintentionally?" Lilin smiled calmly.
Chapter completed!
