Chapter 9 Circles and Forks
The second hunter test, the second half, the passer...... 46 people.
When evening came, except for those tragic candidates who were eliminated by Menqi before Lilin, nothing else was done, and all the candidates who passed the test were inexplicably stained with Lilin's light, and they all boarded the super giant airship sent by the Hunter Association together and began to go to the next examination room...... On this airship comparable to a luxury cruise ship, in the main control room, a staff member of the Hunter Association is explaining to the candidates...... "Hello everyone, now I will explain to you, first of all, congratulations on being able to come this far, and then, we will arrive at the next exam venue at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, before I contact you, you can have a good rest, of course, you can also move freely." ”
…… This long day has finally passed, whether it is Lilin, Little Lucy, or Kurapika, they are all exhausted, desperate to find a place to take a good rest, and only the energetic Killua will force Xiaojie, who has not been in a good mood, to play the "adventure" game on this air yacht.
As for Lilin, he naturally found a comfortable place and forcibly hugged the little butler to sleep deeply...... Nothing to say all night...... I don't know why,It wasn't until about half past nine in the morning that the airship arrived at its destination,Lilin also found out a little unexpectedly,Xiaojie, who had been depressed before,At this time, he was a lot more cheerful,And Killua,Killua who has been in a state of excitement,On the contrary, it is a little gloomy,There is a faint smell of murder and blood on the body,Corresponding,Two people are missing among the candidates,When they have been gathering,There are only 44 people in total.,It seems,In the night when I was asleep, It seemed that something had happened, but Lilin didn't take these things that had nothing to do with him to heart, and in the blink of an eye, he had already put this matter aside...... The landing site of the airship is the top roof of a strange structure that resembles a giant stone pillar, flat and flat, with nothing on it, and an area about the size of 100 football fields, which is very vast.
"Here, it is the top of a tower known as the 'Cheap Well Tower', and it is also the place where the third Hunter Exam will be examined, and the examiner in charge of this exam wants me to announce the content of the exam to everyone on his behalf, that is, to go to the bottom of the Cheap Well Tower alive, and the time limit is seventy-two hours, and finally ...... Good luck to all......"
The third test officially began, and the number of participants was ...... 44 people.
After placing all the candidates at the top of the Tower, the airship left with the staff of the Hunters' Guild.
The candidates looked at each other, each thinking about how to go down...... The most obvious way is to climb down the outer wall of the tower...... However, the difficulty of this method is self-evident, the tower is a perfect cylindrical structure, without any curvature, and the outer wall is very smooth, without any obvious concave and convex parts, and the height is ...... Approximately the tallest building on Earth...... Burj Khalifa more than three times the bar...... Although for ordinary people, this is a completely impossible way to choose, but after all, the hunter candidate is the hidden dragon crouching tiger, a hunter candidate who is good at freehand rock climbing, he climbed down without hesitation, his palm is like a gecko, it can stick to the smooth stone wall, this point, even the top people among the candidates can't do it, of course, it may be that they are unwilling to do it...... After only a short while, the candidate had already crawled down two or three hundred meters, but his fate was over...... Hundreds of huge birds with human heads and huge bodies like vultures flew from not far away, and ate the climbing candidates who couldn't resist in a few bites.
If it is on flat ground, there is no way to deal with these big monster birds, but on the smooth and straight outer wall of the Cheap Well Tower, let alone fighting, just fixing the body is not something that can be done easily, and when it encounters an attack from a foreign enemy, it can only be killed...... This candidate used his life to tell everyone that it would not work to go down the outer wall.
"So...... There must be a door somewhere that leads to the bottom of it! The thoughtful Kurapika affirmed.
And there are naturally many people who think the same way as him, not to mention Lilin and little Lucy, who have been banging on the floor from the beginning, looking for those secret doors.
It wasn't a difficult task, and soon they were able to find several secret doors in close proximity, each of which could only be entered by one person once, after which they would be locked and no longer available.
Li Lin and Xiao Jie and the others got together, and after entering the interior of the Cheap Well Tower through the nearest secret door, they found themselves in a completely sealed room...... Here, Lilin ran into a little trouble again...... Originally, according to normal circumstances, he should have been assigned to a team with Little Lucy, as well as Xiaojie and Kurapika, because the task of this level of the Cheap Well Tower requires five people to team up to complete. The way to form a team is to randomly enter the same room through a secret door.
But maybe it's because of the wall, Lilin obviously entered through a secret door that was very close to Little Lucy, but when Lilin noticed the people around him, he found that there was no one around him who should have appeared...... Little Lucy, Little Jay, Killua and Kurapika are not here, but instead there are a few unfamiliar faces, but fortunately Lilin still recognizes them...... has an amiable complexion, but in fact he is a short and dumpty man with a bad belly, and the rookie killer Dongba; a young beautiful girl with dark green hair and a big hat, the bee messenger Peng Si; A young man with a bow and arrows behind his back, his goal is to become a Phantom Beast Hunter's Explosive Library; Finally, it is a terrifying weirdo in the shape of a nail head, Ji Ta Laku, of course, his real identity is the eldest son of the killer family who beat the enemy Hakka, the eldest brother of Killua with a serious brother-love plot, Yier fan? Beat up the enemy.
When Lilin entered this secret room, he was instantly enveloped by a piercing killing intent, Lilin looked around, and the source of the murderous aura was indeed the nail-headed monster who seemed to be a robot.
And Jita Laku, as expected, walked slowly towards Lilin, as if he wanted to pay the price for Lilin's attempt to "poison" his beloved brother...... In the face of the angry attack of Ilmi, whose strength is on par with Hisoka, the current strength of Irin ...... I'm afraid the best result is to choose your favorite result between instant kill and instant kill...... "Ah, Mr. Jitaraku, whatever you want to do now, please wait a while, okay?" Lilin said with a smile on his face: "My current identity, but Mr. Hisoka, no, is Miss Hisoka's most beloved 'little apple' Oh, I think, you don't want to destroy your relationship because of me, besides, in this cheap well tower, after killing me, it seems that you will not be able to pass the exam......"
As if to confirm Lilin's words, some words suddenly appeared on the only monitor in the secret room...... "The road to voting: from here to the end of the road, the five of you must move forward based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority......"
Then, a platform protrudes from the ground, on which are placed five watch-like things, on each surface at hand, there is a time display of 71 hours and 45 minutes, and the time is constantly decreasing, which should be the limit time of this test, in addition, there are two buttons on the surface...... A circle, a big cross, should be the function key to choose agree and reject.
Lilin picked up a watch, put it on his wrist, and then looked at Jitara and smiled bitterly: "Look, if there are less than five people, there is no way for the others to move on." ”
"Chirp quack, quack......" Jita Laku's body made a strange sound, and then he also picked up a watch expressionlessly and put it on his wrist, and because he didn't want to get involved in the obviously personal grudge, between Lilin and Jita Laku, several other candidates who had been huddled in the corner without saying a word also picked up a watch and put it on their wrists...... When the five people started the watch timer at the same time, the stone door that was one meter thick finally opened slowly...... "Let's go!" Let's go! Dongba took the lead and said energetically.
Although it was in a strange atmosphere, after all, everyone had the first purpose of completing the hunter exam, so they all followed closely, and just after walking not far away, a heavy metal door blocked the way...... The display on the door reads ...... "Do you want to open the door?" Circle – yes, big fork – no. ”
"What's the best choice for this? Of course, I chose it......" Everyone pressed the button on the watch, and it turned out that except for Lilin, who pressed the big fork casually on a whim, everyone else was in a circle.
"Who pressed the fork?" Dongba looked at the other three except Jita Laku.
"I'm sorry, it's me." Lilin laughed.
"You bastard, do you have a problem with your eyes? Even circles and forks can be misread. Dongba squinted his eyes at Jita Laku, and then sarcastically mocked Lilin Dao with a malicious face, don't look at his short and chubby funny appearance, in fact, in terms of real strength, he really doesn't take Lilin in his eyes, after all, he is also a veteran who has participated in the hunter exam for decades and can still survive so far, although there is no eye-catching performance in the original book, but Dongba's real strength is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Huh? Did I say I did it unintentionally? Lilin smiled without moving.
"You, what did you say?"
