Chapter 284 Murderous Intent in the Fog
Before the piercing bell rang.
Hisoka's spotted hyena behavior is actually not over yet.
But when he noticed Kurt's presence, almost instantly, all his attention was locked on Kurt.
Hence, he walked towards Kurt without hesitation.
This move was noticed by many candidates.
These candidates are all veterans. Due to the threat that Hisoka naturally exudes, they are always paying attention to his movements.
When they discovered that Hisoka had actually turned his attention to several children, even the most indifferent candidates couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.
Of course.
Hisoka never paid attention to those overt and covert sights from beginning to end.
In the crowd, Yi Mi, who was disguised as a strange face, also attracted the attention of many candidates.
That weird face was hard to ignore, but like Hisoka, he didn't care about the glances from around him and just stood there quietly, like a puppet.
But when Hisoka walked straight towards Qi and Kurt, Ilmi's breath was almost disturbed.
Happily, he had superb concealment skills and was able to stabilize himself in time when his breath was about to lose control.
Hence, he followed the gazes of other candidates and quietly observed Hisoka's actions.
He took the hunter test this time, partly because he needed a hunter license for his job, and partly because he wanted Qi and Kurt to go home obediently.
The latter is obviously more important than the former.
Because of Kurt, Ilmi no longer casually exposed many needles on his clothes.
Instead, the mind needle is inserted deep into the body. While avoiding exposure, it can also be used to adjust the body shape to ensure a more perfect disguise.
It's just that he didn't expect that Hisoka was also there.
The disguise, which was originally used to deal with Kurt, actually prevented Hisoka from being discovered. Ilmi did not intend to reveal his identity to Hisoka, and while maintaining the disguise, he did not pay special attention to Hisoka's behavior.
But if Xisuo were Shi Shangqi and Kurt, then he would have to intervene.
So in the midst of this complicated intersection of eyes, Hisoka stared at Kurt, Ilmi stared at Hisoka, and Moreau stared at Ilmi.
It wasn't until the harsh bell rang that the chaotic sights in the examination room finally focused on the examiner holding the portrait bell. Hisoka temporarily suppressed the urge to ask Curt about Moreau's whereabouts.
In fact, he had previously thought about using Cotter's person-finding ability to pinpoint Moreau.
For this reason, he even spent a lot of money to find Ilmi to place a commission. Unfortunately, the reply he received was that Kurt was unwilling to accept the commission. Now Kurt is standing within reach, without other interference factors.
So even if the action was interrupted by the sound of the test start bell, it was not as urgent as it was at the beginning.
He has always been like this.
When he cannot see it, his overly suppressed desires will gradually drive him crazy:
When he sees it, he is willing to enjoy the process slowly.
Being at the front of the queue of candidates.
Satz, who served as the examiner of the first level test, after announcing the start of the hunter test, just glanced at the many candidates present, and immediately walked towards the front of the passage.
For a while, the sound of his footsteps echoed in the wide underground passage.
The candidates didn't know what the "test question" was, so they could only follow behind as they watched Satz take steps forward.
The crowd walked a short distance away.
Satz seemed to have just remembered that he had not registered for a title.
"I haven't introduced myself to you yet. I am Satz, the examiner of the first level test. Next, I will lead you to the venue of the second level test. Let me declare in advance——"
Satz looked back at the many solemn candidates behind him, raised his index finger, and said calmly: "The hunter test is extremely harsh. Those who are unlucky or weak may be seriously injured or killed during the test. Those who want to retreat can stop now. Those who are not afraid of death, please follow me."
As Satz finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the underground passage.
Most of the candidates looked resolute and unwavering in the light.
Some candidates were shaken.
Their eyes kept wandering, and finally they couldn't help but look at Hisoka's figure.
Soon, some candidates gave up and turned towards the elevator.
With the first one, like knocking down dominoes, those candidates who were originally hesitant also followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, many candidates chose to quit.
Satz watched them leave calmly, without a trace of emotion on his face.
Of course he knew that these candidates gave up the test not just because of the warning he had just given.
The policeman looked towards Xisuo without leaving a trace. He could see that there seemed to be an invisible barrier near Xisuo, separating other candidates, forming a vacuum.
Satz had heard about the tragedy last year.
Those who chose to withdraw probably knew that they would not be able to escape unscathed from dangerous elements like Hisoka.
However, the hunter test is inherently cruel, and screening out the weak-willed is also part of the test.
Satz retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Then, the remaining four hundred and seventy-six candidates, please follow me and move on."
"What is the content of the test?"
Some candidates couldn't help but ask.
Satz replied as he walked forward: "Anyone who can follow me to the second level test venue will be considered as passing the first test, but I will not reveal the location and time of the venue, so you can only follow me."
Satz said that, Satz suddenly increased his speed.
Many candidates realized that the first hunter test question was about endurance.
The candidates followed closely behind Satz.
Suddenly, the sound of continuous footsteps echoed in the passage.
It’s strange that the skateboard has been exchanged back now.
"Curt, here you go."
He put the skateboard in front of Curt.
Curt did not refuse Qi's considerate gesture, stepped on the skateboard with his left foot wearing wooden shoes, and started gliding like this.
Leorio originally wanted to complain about Qi's use of a skateboard in the endurance test as a foul, but before he could speak,
Leorio saw Qi giving the skateboard to Kurt, and he stopped talking for a moment.
Hitchhich ran to Xiaojie's side and lowered his voice: "Xiaojie."
Hum?
Xiaojie turned his head sideways.
That number 444″
Qi looked straight ahead, but his tone was extremely serious, "Stay as far away from him as possible."
In fact, from the moment he stepped into the underground passage, he could vaguely feel the dangerous aura emanating from Hisoka.
As time goes by, the presence of this dangerous atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger.
That was not directed at him.
It is fair to everyone present.
It was because of this that he was able to deeply feel the danger of Hisoka.
Kurt followed Xiaojie and Qi on his skateboard. After hearing the conversation between the two, he did not make a sound. He just looked back at the crowd behind him.
The back of the candidate team.
Morrow ran slowly.
"The time to take action is when crossing the Lost Meile Wetland——"
With his eyes lowered, Moreau silently calculated in his heart.
Although Curt's appearance is an unexpected development, it will not affect Moreau's plan.
In the wetland forest that is about to be shrouded in thick fog, Moreau must seize the opportunity to kill Ilmi as time passes.
In the underground passage, a group of candidates followed closely behind Satz.
I have been running for 60 kilometers in this way, and there is still no end in sight of the passage ahead.
But no candidate is left behind.
After all, he is someone who stands out from millions of candidates. In terms of endurance, he is considered to be extraordinary.
The aimless long-distance running continues.
At the 80-kilometer mark, the first straggler finally appeared in the candidate team.
It is the little fat man carrying the computer.
He exhausted his last bit of energy and knelt down on the ground, sweat beads rolling down his red cheeks.
He looked desperately at the crowd that was gradually going away, and he gasped like a broken bellows in his throat.
At this moment, the sound of unhurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.
The little fat man turned around blankly and saw a sleepy face in his blurred vision.
Morrow just gave him a faint warning, then ran past him at a constant speed, always following him steadily at the end of the team.
"Wait, wait—"
The little fat man subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Moreau, but he froze halfway.
He suddenly remembered the scene when Dongba was causing trouble, and he clearly saw through it but chose to remain silent.
If he had stood up and exposed it at that time, maybe...
The little fat man dropped his hands absentmindedly, collapsed on the ground like a fish out of water and gasped violently, letting regret and unwillingness gnaw at his heart.
Front.
Morrow could vaguely feel the little fat man's gaze, but didn't pay much attention to it.
I was able to find the first level of the hunter test as a newcomer and persisted until 80 kilometers.
Among ordinary people, the little fat man is considered outstanding.
It is a pity that only one new person passes the hunter test every three years on average.
Compared with the group of candidates present, the little fat man became the most inconspicuous one.
Time has passed for a long time.
Led by Satz, the team arrived at the stairs leading to the ground.
At this point, Satz speeded up again.
The steep and long stairs, coupled with the sudden requirement to speed up, have become the last straw for many candidates.
When Satz led the candidates to the ground, many people had already collapsed on the stairs behind.
Morrow stayed at the end of the line, passing through the falling rolling shutter door at the last moment, and followed other candidates to the platform outside the exit.
The scene unfolding in front of him was the boundless Lost Meile Wetland that he was already quite familiar with.
Morrow raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead.
And after arriving on the ground, he never cast his sights on Yiermi, Hisoka, or Qi.
After all, the test has begun, and all the candidates are focused on the assessment itself. They no longer look at each other as they did at the beginning, and there is no situation where most eyes are focused on one person.
In this environment, if you rashly pay attention to Ilmi or Hisoka, even if your eyes wander for just a moment, your sense of presence will be directly amplified.
This time.
Most of the candidates in the venue were looking at the Shimeile Wetland in front of them.
Only veterans such as the hunter Greta, as well as novices like Hanzo, Gon, and even the bee girl Pengsi, had no intention of paying attention to the scene ahead, but were secretly alerting Hisoka.
While in the underground passage, they could always feel the dangerous aura emanating from Hisoka.
Just not as strong as it is now.
This is simply sending a dangerous signal to them.
"That guy - is about to start killing people."
Greta raised her hand and pressed the brim of her hat lightly, then held the blowgun tightly in her hand, and then quietly moved her position, moving away from Hisoka and moving closer to Satz.
At about this time last year, Hisoka unabashedly released a signal that he wanted to kill someone.
A veteran like him naturally knows how to avoid the edge temporarily.
The examiner at the time may not have been able to stand Hisoka's obvious provocation, or he may have felt that Hisoka was too overbearing, so he intervened, but in the end he was killed.
To a certain extent, it was the examiner's intervention that prevented more candidates from being attacked by Hisoka.
This year's examiner Satz, many experienced candidates secretly observed his reaction, only to find that his expression was as usual, without any fluctuation.
This determination alone is much stronger than that of the examiner who died tragically last year.
In other words, if no examiner intervenes this time, everyone present will become Hisoka’s hunting target.
The old birds who realized this quietly moved towards Satz.
Dongba also quietly moved among the crowd to watch.
His peripheral vision glanced at Moreau, who was soaked all over, and there was a sneer in his heart.
"What a pity. If you drank my laxative drink, you could at least exit alive. Now, just wait to be killed by Hisoka."
In his opinion, Moro, who ran so slowly, would most likely be the first batch of candidates to be killed by Hisoka.
Hisoka's unabashed murder signal,
The veterans carefully adjusted their positions,
Many candidates who were not aware of it but were trying to adjust their breathing.
Satz saw it all.
He knew what Hisoka would do next, but he had no obligation to intervene. He would only follow the rules and implement the pre-determined test questions.
Based on this, even if Hisoka kills all the other candidates on the way to the second test location, it will not violate the rules.
However.
Satz will not stop Hisoka from doing what he does next, but as an examiner, he can give the candidates a longer period of rest.
After giving the candidates some patience, Satz raised his hand and pointed to the muddy land ahead.
"That is the Lost Melo Wetland, also known as the Trickster's Nest. Passing there is the venue for the second level test. In addition, many of the rare birds and animals living in this wetland are mainly cannibals. Please be more careful."
After warning, Satz strode towards the muddy land ahead.
Needless to say, the marathon test, which tests endurance, continues to begin.
A total of 376 candidates, because of the difference in speed, quickly formed a long queue.
And ahead, thick fog is gradually rising.
The long line of people plunged into the thick fog.
Hisoka narrowed his narrow eyes, and his golden pupils were like the sharp edges of playing cards, slowly passing by the candidates passing by.
He has been depressed for too long.
So much so that after discovering Kurt, the feeling of seeing hope calmed his anxious nerves a little.
Now he is no longer anxious, but has the leisure to enjoy the desire to kill that is constantly surging in his heart.
Hisoka stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips, holding a playing card between his fingers.
The area at the front of the candidate queue.
Kert came to Qi's side and whispered: "Brother, let's go to the front."
h "Hmm."
Qi nodded and turned to look at Gon, who was running with Leorio.
The other side.
Morrow quietly left the team under the cover of thick fog.
At this time, the silence of the wetland was torn apart by screams one after another.
The predators in the Lost Meile Wetland finally showed their fangs.
These strange creatures that have been baptized by evolution, with their innate talent for camouflage and unpredictable hunting skills, quickly cut into pieces the long team of candidates.
Even the candidates who have gone through thousands of selections are unable to fight back when faced with the attacks of these rare and exotic beasts.
This is the dangerous side of the hunter world that is different from the developed modern urban background, and it can also be used to see what an important power "mind" is.
The screams of the candidates undoubtedly became the nutrient for the spread of panic.
At the same time, it also created an excellent hunting environment for Xisuo.
Hisoka started to take action.
At the same time.
Yirmi was paying close attention to Hisoka's movements in the secret.
Once Hisoka takes action against Kurt and Qi, he will definitely step in to stop them.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Yi Mi felt a strong killing intent.
"Is this?"
In the concentrated killing intent, Yi Mi smelled a sense of familiarity and a sense of danger that could directly touch the skin.
He was very sure that it was not Hisoka's murderous intention.
So,
Who will it be?
Are you in the team?
Yilmi had many doubts for a moment, and carefully recalled the memory of the underground passage, and found nothing strange.
Because when Qi and Kurt arrived at the venue, his attention was entirely on the two of them.
"Are you sending an "invitation" to me——"
Feeling the highly targeted killing intent, Yi Mi pulled out a few needles from the depths of his body.
After thinking briefly for a moment, he began to consciously distance himself from Hisoka and Qi.
After the distance was far away, based on the threat level of the murderous intent, Yi Mi shot the needles at the surrounding candidates who were looming in the thick fog without any hesitation.
l—
As the needles accurately penetrated the backs of the examinees' heads, Yi Mi gained seven or eight needles in an instant.
But this is not enough.
Fortunately, there are a lot of materials for needles.
Yilmi's dark eyes were filled with deathly silence, and she was not in a hurry to respond to the murderous invitation.
His needle now also has the ability to disguise himself, and he can use this to formulate tactics without having to face threats directly.
The other side.
Hisoka finally took action.
Suddenly, more screams echoed through the thick fog.
Morrow, on the other hand, was outside the team, waiting for Ilmi's response.
Even if Yi Mi chooses to turn a blind eye, he can still force Yi Mi to take the move.
But he knew that Yi Mi would most likely face the invitation.
Because of this person Yi Mi——
Have a strong desire to control and like to take complete control of the situation.
Hence, "accidents" will not be allowed to exist in the situation.
