Lin Gong Airport on the outskirts of Youkexin City.

The airship descended slowly, the elevator was set up, and Lucy stepped out of the cabin following two big men in black suits wearing sunglasses.

Standing on the land of this prosperous and erosive city, he couldn't help but sigh: "After two years, the air here is still filled with the smell of sin!" ”

An elongated bulletproof business vehicle had been parked outside the airport, and when he saw Luxi coming, a short and fat middle-aged man next to the car bowed down to him respectfully: "Sir, the boss asked me to pick you up." ”

He was three rounds older than Luxi, but he respectfully saluted the young man in front of him. Lucy didn't reply, he kept bending over, and he didn't dare to let out a breath.

"It's you, Shanzhi." Lucy glanced at him and said lightly, "It seems that you have been climbing quickly in the family position recently, and you can receive Johnny's orders." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, your family has always been able to issue orders at a time. You said Johnny asked you to come, so you're now the commander? Johnny is so big-hearted, not only did he not execute you, but he also let you climb to such a high position? ”

Humpty Dumpty's cold sweat immediately rained down, and he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "That's all my mistakes before, but fortunately, the boss doesn't care about my mistakes......"

"Yes," Lucy tilted his head and looked at him curiously: "Forget it, anyway, I'm just a partner, I'm too lazy to care about your family's affairs, let's go." ”

"Yes!" Shanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and opened the car door for him. After the bulletproof car drove out, several more sedans followed, as if the guards were driving around.

In the car, Seonji opened the drawer, poured a glass of red wine and offered it to him. Lucy picked up his glass and looked out the window: "I came here on a temporary basis, without informing Johnny in advance, what is he doing now?" ”

Shanzhi stammered, "The boss is negotiating an arms deal with the Ten Old Men's men in Tariqan, and it will be about a week before he returns, and he has instructed me to receive you well before that." ”

Lucy glanced at him, smiled, and didn't speak.

The Humpty Dumpty in front of him is the harlequin who punched Nyon's father in the original book, originally the boss of the Leeds family, but later because of Nion's divination ability, Wright Nosla, who was not looked down upon by him, was on an equal footing with him, and he was jealous and went to provoke Kurapika who would become the head of the Norsra family's guard in the future.

Lucy doesn't have any prejudices against him, except that a year ago because of a misjudgment of his judgment, the Leeds family lost billions of dollars in business, and Johnny put Johnny in danger. I thought he would be executed, but I didn't expect that not only did he not die, but he also climbed to the top of the family, so I can only say that he is indeed outstanding.

Shaking his glass, Lucy asked softly, "Where are we going now?" ”

"The family has a manor house on the outskirts," Shanji narrowed his eyes, "It's recently built—the original mansion on Grollette Street has been abandoned for a long time, and is now used as a place to recruit guards. ”

"Recruiting guards?" Lucy showed an interested look, and Shanzhi hurriedly explained: "Recently, the family has expanded rapidly, and there is a bit of a shortage of manpower, so I made this suggestion to the leader. ”

"Is it just today?"

"Yes, according to the time," Seonji raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "there are still two hours to go." ”

"Sounds interesting," Lucy rubbed his chin, "change course, I'd like to check it out." ”

"But...... Boss, he asked me to ......" Shanzhi said embarrassedly, and before he finished speaking, Lucy glanced at him lightly, and quickly changed his words: "Turn around!" Damn it, didn't you hear what Mr. said? Go to Grolie Street! ”

--------------------------------

This is a street located in the abandoned urban area of Youkexin City, and there are almost no human figures in sight, whether it is the cracks in the ground or the mottled walls, they all reveal an old atmosphere. Among the scattered rows of old houses around it, a tall mansion made of large rough stone blocks stands out.

A big man with a beard walked to the gate of the mansion with a bottle of soju, and said to the watchful eye on the door: "I was introduced by Jeggs, my name is Basho." ”

The door opened, and Basho walked in, finding that there were already applicants in the hall. These people were men and women, dressed in different costumes, and were obviously from different places.

There are so many people who have found ...... ahead of me

Taking a sip unpleasantly, he found a sofa to sit down, twisted the cap of the bottle and poured it hard.

Basho needs a large sum of money to heal his sister, who is suffering from a strange illness. Two years ago he passed the hunter's exam and became a contract hunter, specializing in the service of the rich and the like, collecting items designated by his employer for payment. He had already completed more than a dozen commissions, but the money he earned was far from enough to cover his sister's expenses in the hospital. After the agent informed him that the Leeds family would be recruiting a group of guards recently, he came here without hesitation.

Facing the high remuneration offered by the wealthy Leeds family, he doesn't care even if the contract lasts for ten years.

However, the guards recruited by the Leeds family this time are different from those ordinary family guards, they are bodyguards who specialize in protecting high-level officials, so they have high requirements for the strength of the candidates. According to the prompts of the notes scattered with thoughts, finding the test location is the first assessment.

After him, three more people came in succession, and then no one came in again. Basho counted, and the people in the hall plus him were exactly ten, and they didn't seem to be easy to match. With a hint of worry about whether he could pass the test, he subconsciously gulped down soju to relieve the pressure in his heart.

Everyone present was a master, and even if they didn't wait for their employer to show up for hours, they didn't feel impatient. Some people close their eyes and breathe to recuperate. Others are wiping their weapons. There are also those who are confident in their own strength and lie on the sofa playing with their mobile phones.

"Boy, are you emboldening yourself?"

Just as Wutong was drinking the stuffy wine one after another, the man with yin and yang hair on the opposite sofa asked malily. The man wore thick smoky makeup, a strange bird tattoo on the corner of his eye, and his yin and yang head looked neither male nor female. Hearing this provocative remark, everyone else in the room looked over and looked at it with a look of good drama on their faces.

Wutong squinted, his two-year commission career had allowed him to come into contact with all kinds of people, and he knew that he couldn't show weakness now, otherwise he would be despised by the employer on the other end of the monitor. frowned at the moment, and snorted coldly:

"What are you talking about, dead ladyboy?"

Yin Yang Tou showed a bloodthirsty smile and clenched the sickle in his hand: "Very good, anyway, the test hasn't started yet, let's move your muscles and bones!" ”

Just when the two of them burst out at the same time, the monitor hanging above their heads lit up, and a curly-haired little girl in a powder blue dress appeared in the picture, looking at everyone with a smile.

"I've been waiting for you, I'm the examiner for this test, and I'll announce the content of this test."

The girl looked about twelve years old, well-behaved, and had a cute cartoon pattern printed on her skirt, looking like a harmless young lady. But in this case, no one would have such an idea, and everyone stared at the monitor with serious faces.

Wutong noticed that after the girl appeared, there was a hint of joy in the eyes of the yin and yang head, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Hmm...... First, let me count the number of people. The little girl held a pen in one hand and a few pages in the other, she scanned back and forth on the crowd and the pages a few times, and suddenly knocked her head with a pen: "It doesn't seem right, the information given by the intermediary shows that there are nine people, why is there one more now?" ”

"Oops, that's nerve-wracking!" She was distressed on her lips, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, "I learned that a certain commissioned hunter has taken over a mission issued by other forces to find out the family's information. But I was lazy, and Brother Lucy was about to come to play with me, so I didn't sleep well for a few days, so I forgot about it. ”

"Looks like someone got in."

The little girl turned the pen in her hand flexibly, as if thinking about something, and suddenly stopped.

"It's decided, just make it a snack before your test." She said with a smile.

"Within an hour, find the extra person, kill him, and I'll start testing again."

"If you can't find it, you'll all die here!"
