Halloween, the day that was supposed to be a carnival, is now full of nervous people.

Roosevelt Island, or Roosevelt Island for short, is a long, narrow island located on the East River in New York City. It is located between the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens. The length of the island is about 3,000 meters, the maximum width of the island is only 240 meters, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk from the southernmost point to the northernmost point.

On this island of more than 10,000 people, unlike the desolate islands elsewhere, Roosevelt Island is a very modern island, with more than just buses, taxis, and even the subway and light rail. Subway line F on Roosevelt Island, which provides direct access to New York University. At the same time, because the subway is 30 meters underground, the Roosevelt Island subway station is one of the deepest subway stations in New York City.

However, the fact that the subway station is built deep does not mean that it is larger than other subways. After all, this is New York where land is at a premium. Therefore, the Hunter Exam places the exam registration place here, which is not a difficult place in the first place.

At every traffic stop to Roosevelt Island, nearly 1,000 people gathered. There is even a steady stream of people waiting.

Although, as Jessica said, there are no requirements to take the Hunter exam, as long as you reach the subway station.

But a government that knows deeply that people will die if they are not careful, will not let the people so easily

Past.

As a result, all the transportation facilities leading to Roosevelt Island were guarded by a large number of officers and soldiers. At the same time, ordinary people who want to take the exam also need to voluntarily sign a death agreement.

Even the insurance company staff next to him enthusiastically promoted their company's insurance activities.

"Don't worry, it may take a few minutes, and when most of the people come in, we will arrange it together."

Steve walked down the aisle as the crowd crowded, his face obscured by the downturned brim of his hat. In fact, decades have passed, and now even if he appears generously in front of everyone, there will be no surprises.

After a brief understanding of the reason for his slumber, Steve was forced to accept his current situation, though he always felt that there were some things he didn't know he hadn't told him.

At the same time, because of the government's commission, he also accepted the order to take this hunter exam. Then take the exam as a free person.

"But in a few decades, the world has really changed a lot...... "Looking at the crowd of people, Steve couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, Ricky! You said that so many people are here, will this exam be difficult? Steve listened to the two men next to him talking. The two of them were one big and one small, the younger one looked like a young man, and the older one should have been in his seventies, wearing a white lab coat like a scientist. Looks pretty refreshed. It's not wrong to call it old and strong.

"And what kind of death waiver agreements do we have in place. Isn't that too dangerous? As he spoke, the young man covered his head and said with a nervous look: "So why are we here to have fun, there is nothing fun about this exam, are we going home." ”

"Don't worry, Morty." The old man named Ricky waved his hand indifferently: he even took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, then took a sip, and said drunkly: "Hiccup~ It's because of ...... Because of so many people, nothing will happen. Even if we had signed a waiver agreement, if there were a significant number of casualties, would you think people would still be so excited right now? ”

"That's right." Hearing Ricky's words, Morty nodded: "I'm relieved if you say that." “

"But ......" Before Morty could finish his breath, Ricky continued, "But if the government conducts the initial round of screening first, then ...... Hiccup, that means it's not that simple. Hiccup~" Ricky continued to open his mouth unconcernedly, and said vaguely, even because he said too much, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

And as soon as Ricky's words fell, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of him.

"Why don't you let me in! I signed a death pact?! ”

"I'm sorry." The officer in front of him said expressionlessly: "Your physical fitness is not up to standard, and you are still the only child in the family, we unilaterally decided that you can't take the hunter exam." As he spoke, the officer glanced at the soldier next to him, and several soldiers surrounded the man and led him away.

"The body is not up to par? I'm a black belt in taekwondo...... Let go of me! You're restricting my freedom in life!! ”

"Ahh After another sip of wine, Ricky wiped his mouth, "Looks like this exam isn't that easy, Morty." ”

"So Ricky, I want to go home......"

"Let's go check it out, Morty! I have a hunch that this adventure must be fun too! ”

Steve watched as the old man named Ricky grabbed Morty's hand and squeezed through the crowd towards the passage through Roosevelt Island.

"Even in the past, I couldn't pass it." After reading the conversation between the two people, Steve shook his head helplessly, he believed that he knew about the Hunter Guild and the Hunter Exam. So, he knows how deep the water really is.

At least the government checks this level, it is very difficult, if it is not for the existence of one enemy and ten, then the government will never let you pass. After all, the Hunters' Association made it clear to the government at the beginning. The mortality rate of the hunter exam is unknown.

Therefore, if you want to take the hunter exam, you must either have excellent physical fitness and pass the government's 'pre-test'. Or, on their own way, go to Roosevelt Island.

"It's a good idea for them to do that." Steve, who had read the information on the hunters' fights, said to himself. After all, those non-human beings, every move has a great impact on ordinary people. Maybe if one of them is not good, they will suffer casualties.

With that in mind, Steve also came to the passage to check. And undoubtedly passed the inspection, all the way to the Roosevelt subway station unimpeded.

Even if there is the government's initial screening, it is just like Steve thought, people who are related, no matter what means, can get to the subway station, so by the time Steve arrived here, there were at least a thousand people gathered here. And it's also visible to the naked eye, a steady stream of people are rushing here.

"Hello everyone!" Just as Steve was observing his surroundings, a voice rang out clearly in the noisy environment.
