Chapter VIII Inquiry
The four of them walked to the stern of the boat together, only to see a large group of people tied to the deck with a silver fishing line wrapped around Xiao Jie, and each of them was stuffed with strips of cloth in their mouths.
Seeing such a scene, Li Jianxing relieved himself, it seems that Xiaojie spent a lot of time because he wanted to catch them, and Kurapika and Leoli knew that they had underestimated Xiaojie, a child who was only twelve years old.
"Woo woo woo ......" The people who were tied up all showed begging looks at Xiao Jie, hoping that Xiao Jie could let them go, and the silver fishing line tied to their bodies was specially made by Li Jianxing with alchemy to help Xiao Jie, which was not only very tough, but also elastic, firmly binding these people, so that they could not break free at all.
Seeing Li Jianxing, Xiao Jie scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, it seems that it took me a long time to eliminate them." ”
Kurapika said, "It's a lot harder for you to do this than it is for us. ”
Leoli said, "That is, why do you have to leave these bastards on purpose? It's better to throw them into the sea and leave them to fend for themselves. ”
Leoli knows that these guys are some ** scum who cause trouble every day, even if they are let go, they will not have the slightest gratitude, but will be resentful and find ways to cause trouble.
However, Xiaojie also has his own insistence, he did not say anything to refute it, but his actions showed that he did not change his mind.
At this time, Li Jianxing proposed: "Okay, anyway, these people have been caught, there will be no trouble, the wind at sea is getting stronger and stronger, the storm is just around the corner, let's go find the captain and see if there is anything that can help, at this time, there will always be a better chance of one more person helping to survive the storm." ”
…… The boat everyone was on was like a flutter in the wind in the storm, and it could only swing up and down with the wind and waves, and those guys who were tied up and thrown in the cabin by Xiaojie couldn't stand the violent bumps and vomited, filling the cabin with the smell of sour rot.
But they didn't have the heart to complain, the vast majority of these people always fainted in such a bump, and even a few sober people were so weak that they couldn't move at all.
The storm lasted for a full night and hours, and when the storm subsided, the captain looked at Li Jianxing, Billy, Kurapika, Xiaojie, and Leoli, who had been busy all night. Nodding with some satisfaction, he called a few people to the captain's room and said:
"You've actually eliminated the entire ship's candidates, this is the first time I've seen it in all these years!" The captain's expression was serious, and he looked at the only five people on this ship who were qualified.
"I'm sorry, but we have to do it!" ”
Kurapika said, "Those guys don't need to take the test. ”
Hearing such an answer, the captain suddenly changed his serious expression, smiled and said, "You are right, those guys are not qualified to take the next round of exams, because they have already been brushed off in this round of exams!" ”
After saying this, the captain took out a document from his pocket with a familiar pattern printed on it, and this familiar pattern was the emblem of the Hunters' Guild!
Li Jianxing's thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately guessed that this storm was also a test, otherwise there were millions of candidates who signed up for the exam every year, and the Hunter Guild would not wait until they all arrived at the location to start the test, in that case, the workload would be too great, and it was also necessary to screen out most of the parallel goods through the preliminary test, and now these guys who fell to the ground were slightly stronger than ordinary people, and it was natural to be eliminated.
"As you can see, I'm the assistant examiner in charge of screening the candidates this time, and now that there are only five of you left on this ship, then I need you to answer a few of my questions, first of all, your name?" The captain asked in a calm tone.
Li Jianxing happily reported his pseudonym Li Jian, which is also the name that will accompany Li Jianxing on countless missions in the main god space. "My name is Xiaojie and I'm from Whale Island." After "Kurapika", "I'm Leoli" and a few others had registered, the captain continued to ask:
"Then let me ask you what is your reason for wanting to be a hunter."
When he heard the question, he first replied, "Because my father, Kim Fullux, is a hunter, I hope to find him after becoming a hunter!" Xiao Jie replied very simply, this is indeed his original intention to become a hunter.
The captain then turned his gaze to Leoli, who stroked the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "If I'm telling the truth, then I became a hunter to make more money!" ”
The captain smiled and said, "You are also real, but what about you?" The captain asked Kurapikado.
At this time, Kurapika's eyes revealed a bitter hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I became a hunter just to take revenge!" Looking at the appearance of Kurapika, the others did not continue to ask, and then Li Jianxing said:
"I'm a priest, and the reason I want to become a hunter is that I want to see the legendary hunter exam, and by the way, I am also entrusted to take care of this child." Li Jianxing touched Xiaojie's head and replied.
Answering like this, what Li Jianxing was thinking about was that his fate was still under the control of the main god, but he didn't expect this, Li Jianxing felt a heavy pressure, the task assigned by the main god was to let Li Jianxing go to take the hunter exam, but he didn't know what the follow-up arrangements were, and Li Jianxing had been worried about it all this time.
After Li Jianxing finished answering, Billy's answer was also very simple: "I followed my master to take the exam." ”
The captain looked at Li Jianxing's appearance and intuitively felt that Li Jianxing seemed to have something to hide, so he said: "I don't want to have any concealment, if I think that any of you are concealing, I can directly judge you as unqualified, so that you will lose the qualification to continue the exam!" The captain swept his eyes at Li Jianxing and said seriously.
The captain reminded Li Jianxing in a somewhat threatening tone. Li Jianxing didn't eat his set, he still had a gentle smile, ignoring the captain's words.
Seeing this, the captain affirmed the judgment in his heart even more, and was about to threaten again, but suddenly felt a cold killing intent attacking him, and Li Jianxing's voice also came from his ears: "I said that if I didn't miscalculate, the screening just now should have ended, if you don't know whether to ask alive or dead, it is likely to cause bad consequences, you must know that curiosity sometimes kills not only poor kittens!" ”
Li Jianxing used magic when he spoke, ensuring that only the captain could hear what he had just said. Coupled with the implicit momentum on Li Jianxing's body and the murderous aura hidden in Billy's eyes, the captain felt as if the blood around him was about to be frozen!
"Damn, is this guy a priest or not, originally I saw that his body seemed to contain a bright breath, and the whole person seemed to be gentle and polite, but I didn't expect this person to be a person who completely disregarded life, my feeling will not be wrong, this guy is probably as natural as eating and drinking water for killing, otherwise he would not have such an indifferent aura when he killed those candidates before. And his butler, the murderous aura that has formed a substance is really terrifying, this is the murderous aura that can be formed by killing at least tens of thousands of people, and his murderous aura even surpasses that of the priest, where did these two guys come from! ”
The cold sweat on the back of the captain flowed, he was just an ordinary hunter, in terms of strength, he was not comparable to either of Li Jianxing and Billy, and he looked away with some regret in his heart, seeing that Xiaojie and the others didn't seem to hear what Li Jianxing said at all, the horror in his heart was even worse, and he suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and at this time the captain was not in the mood to continue to ask.
There was no shortage of thorns in the previous hunter exams, but his strength ensured that those provocative guys would not end well, but when facing Li Jianxing, the strength of the two sides was reversed, and they didn't want to provoke such a terrible person as Li Jianxing, so the captain didn't dare to ask more, just announced that all five people had passed his test, and then let a few people leave.
After that, the captain tried to avoid contact with Li Jianxing, and Li Jianxing was happy to continue to instruct Kurapika in his practice, and the voyage at sea ended silently.
A few days later, the ship arrived at the harbor, and the five of them got off the boat together, perhaps out of duty, or because they had a good impression of Xiao Jie, and when everyone had just disembarked and said goodbye, he told Xiao Jie loudly on the boat that if they wanted to reach the next stop, the best shortcut was to go to the top of the hill on the island under the tallest tree.
As soon as I walked out of the harbor, in the square in front of the harbor, a bus was parked at the bus stop to the next test site. All of this inevitably felt too coincidental, looking at the candidates who were scrambling to catch the bus, Li Jianxing thought about it for a while, and finally decided to believe the captain's words.
Because Li Jianxing could see that the captain seemed to value Xiao Jie very much, and looked at him differently after Xiao Jie said that he was born on Whale Island, and when Xiao Jie said that his father was Kim Fulix, Li Jianxing felt that the captain's aura had obviously changed.
He knew that Xiao Jie's father, Kim Fulix, was a legend of the Hunters' Guild, a three-star hunter, and his status in the Hunters' Guild could already enter the decision-making level.
Xiao Jie's father's status in the Hunter Guild is so high, based on the relationship between the captain and the Hunter Guild, it is inferred that under normal circumstances, the captain cannot deliberately point out the wrong way to Xiao Jie, but it is possible to point out the right path for Xiao Jie and take the opportunity to gain some favor, which is actually pulling the relationship, which can be seen that such a thing as fighting dad exists in any world.
Leaving the harbor, everyone was about to walk on the way to the top of the hill, when a man shouted in the back, "Wait! ”
Everyone turned around and saw a guy with a double stick on his back coming with a smile: "I'm sorry, my name is Matthew, and I happen to be going to the mountain, I wonder if I can join you?" ”
From the moment he got off the boat, Li Jianxing noticed that this guy named Matthew was just on the side, and after hearing what the captain said to Xiaojie, he had been following behind everyone, and he didn't know what he was planning at this time.
Although this person behaved very sincerely, Li Jianxing could see that this guy had a lot of careful thoughts in his heart, and he was not a simple guy. However, although everyone is vigilant, they will not refuse directly, and in this way, there is one more guy who has joined temporarily.
