Chapter 2 The First Test
After a long time, the display on the door finally stopped at the number on the "B100" floor, which means that the box elevator has dropped a full 100 floors deep...... The elevator door slowly opened, and Lilin and little Lucy, who were already full, stood up and looked out.
As far as the eye can see, there is only a sea of people...... The people here are dressed in a complex way, ranging from suits, sportswear, and casual shirts that are consistent with the real-world Earth style, as well as bizarre costumes full of ethnic customs and fantasy styles. Even heavy armor is available.
Although the vast majority of them are tall and muscular adult men, and there are even "giants" with a height of nearly three meters, there are also many petite and cute girls, and even children who are eleven or twelve years old.
"Wow, it turns out that there are still people behind us~~~!" The cheerful cry was made by a spirited, black-haired boy of about eleven or twelve, dressed in green summer shorts and holding a sturdy-looking fishing rod in his hand. He was staring at Lilin and Little Lucy with a pair of innocent and curious eyes.
"My name is Xiaojie, my full name is Jie? Phillips, one step ahead of you. The little boy greeted Lilin and the little butler familiarly, and behind him, two more people stood over, one was a thin young man in a navy blue suit, carrying a leather bag, and a pair of toad sunglasses, and the other was a blonde boy in a long coat, about sixteen or seventeen years old, his skin was as white as snow, and his appearance was beautiful, and he was actually a beautiful young man who was not inferior to a girl...... Unlike Xiaojie's warm-hearted friendliness, the tall and thin young man and the blonde boy don't seem to be so unsuspecting, but it should be the reason why Lilin and little Lucy's appearance is not dangerous, and they still get acquainted quickly.
The man in the suit is named Leoli, and he is a doctor alternate who is studying, and when he knows that Lilin is also a "doctor", he suddenly has a strange momentum of competition, and the blonde beautiful boy is named Kurapika, and the beautiful boy doesn't seem to want to say much about other things.
These people are all taking the hunter exam for the first time, and they know almost nothing about the content of the hunter exam.
Rilin began to look around him, a dimly lit place that looked like a giant underground tunnel, capable of holding at least ten cars in parallel.
The location where they are is at the end of one end of the tunnel, and the other end is infinitely stretched in the endless darkness, I don't know how long it will be...... "Everyone here is so strong, worthy of being a hunter selected by thousands of candidates, but how many people are here?" Xiao Jie looked around curiously.
"Including you, there are 407 people in total."
A voice came from overhead, and everyone looked at it, only to see a short and fat middle-aged man, his face full of wrinkles, and his appearance was actually very amiable, sitting on the pipe on the tunnel wall and watching them smile.
"You are all new faces, it seems that it is the first time to take the hunter exam, my name is Dongba, I will tell you the truth, I have been taking the exam since I was ten years old, and I have taken the exam thirty-five times, I am definitely an experienced veteran." If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. ”
Saying that, Dongba introduced to Xiaojie and his party the more interesting characters among the candidates who took the hunter exam this time, including the dangerous magician Xisuo, the clever martial artist Qingli, and the hunters, snake players, wrestlers, and so on.
At the same time, Lilin and the others took over their respective number plates from a very short staff member with a long face like a steamed bun, Lilin's No. 407 and the little butler's No. 406.
Time passed slowly in waiting, and there were some small episodes in it, for example, the dangerous "magician" Hisoka, because the person who accidentally bumped into him did not apologize to him, so in an instant, the man's arms were cut off, not to mention the speed of his movements, the terrible thing is that the pair of arms that were cut off by him actually disappeared out of thin air, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at it, and no one knew where the arms went, just like the most cruel "dark magic"...... In addition, Dongba, who has the nickname of "Rookie Terminator", is amiable on the outside, but extremely vicious on the inside, and specializes in destroying the trials of rookie candidates as the greatest pleasure in his life.
After getting acquainted with Xiaojie and his party, he actually used a juice mixed with powerful laxatives to invite everyone to drink, Lilin smiled and took the can of juice from himself and the little butler, and drank it casually, in front of his refined "demon blood", the medicine of this effect did not have the slightest effect, and Xiaojie and his party did not get hit, Xiaojie, who had amazing five senses, tasted strange as soon as the juice was in his mouth, and Leoli and Kurapika, who were convinced of him, naturally poured the juice without hesitation, which made Dongba embarrassed for a while.
And at this moment, with the ringing of a bell, a man dressed as a bar waiter suddenly appeared from a secret door at the height of the tunnel, he glanced at the candidates present, and said in a voice that was enough for more than 500 people present to hear: "The bell just now means that the registration time for the hunter exam is officially closed, and there are a total of 407 participants, and one person withdrew due to injury, so I announce...... The Hunter Qualification Exam is now officially underway. ”
The man dressed as a waiter jumped down from a high place at will, came to the front of the crowd, pointed to the endless black tunnel and said: "First of all, make a statement, the hunter's exam is extremely severe and cruel, and if you hand in bad luck or lack strength, there is a possibility of death or injury at any time, if you are all conscious and there is no problem, please come with me...... We will head to the location of the second test. ”
"The second test? And what about the first test? Someone asked strangely.
"First test...... It's already begun......" The man turned his head and said mysteriously, and he was also walking forward in a strange and stiff posture, although he was walking, but his speed was so fast that others had to run to keep up, and this was the first test, a man who didn't know the end, didn't know the distance...... Marathon ......
