Chapter 425: Number Plate
Slowly opening the folded piece of paper in his hand, Ogata's gaze drooped to see a number written in neat font on it.
To be honest, the last numbers that Ogata wants to draw are the numbers 403 to 405, and 99, because these badge numbers belong to Xiaojie, Leoli, Kurapika, and Killua, who is a new acquaintance.
Needless to say, Leoli is a benefactor who saved him, and a friend who gets along day and night in this world. And Xiaojie, Kurapika and Killua are trustworthy partners they have made during the hunter exam.
Whoever becomes Ogata's target is hard to do. Because for him, he would rather choose to pick three other people's badges to start and accumulate three points. I don't want to hurt the friendship that everyone has built up so hard. In this relatively chaotic world, it is not easy to have a pure and disinterested friendship, Ogata knows very well
Therefore, if the number drawn is Leoli and several of them, for Ogata, it is equivalent to giving up 3 points directly to the target person.
Of course, there are also a few numbers that Ogata is impressed, such as Hisoka's number 44, this number itself is unlucky, and the person who wears it is a killer who doesn't blink, so the candidates present should not be willing to draw the number 44. Because of Siso's strength, all the candidates are in their eyes, and once they meet him, it is better to give up the 3 points of the target person and seek other people's badges.
Because in the eyes of many, challenging one Hisoka is far more difficult than taking the badge from three other candidates.
When Ogata's eyes looked at this number. His eyes didn't blink. I watched for a long time. He was glad to breathe a sigh of relief.
Because this number does not belong to Leoli and them, nor does it belong to Sisoka.
It's two digits, number 16!
16? It seemed familiar, but Ogata thought about it carefully, and he did have an impression of the number.
Generally speaking, what he thinks has an impression should be seen many times.
He looked at the crowd of candidates and saw that all of them were trying to better hide their identities. He took off the number plate he was wearing on his chest and put it in his pocket to prevent outsiders from seeing it.
Because there are more than 20 candidates standing here, not everyone knows what each other's numbers are. All of a sudden, it invisibly increased the difficulty of the fourth round of exams.
Ogata glanced at the 402 he was wearing on his chest, smiled softly, and then took it off and put it in the pocket of his pants like the other candidates. At this time, those who dare to be bold and have no measures may be left with Siso, who thinks very highly of himself.
The '44', which is particularly eye-catching, is still worn on the body. It's like a number plate that symbolizes death.
Hisoka's gaze glanced at Ogata, and something seemed to flicker in the eyes of the two men. Meets in the air. Ogata sighed inwardly, if Hisoka was the one who won in this round, then a fight between the two of them was inevitable.
The content of the final knockout round is unknown, so try not to run into him.
Because of the particularity of the fourth round of exams, even if the relationship between the candidates and the candidates was not bad before, there was also vigilance and precaution at this time. Ogata saw a lot of people's eyes glancing around, probably trying to quickly lock down the target person he needed to pay attention to.
Obviously, under these calm faces, there are nervous and wary hearts. All the candidates have already entered the state in advance, just waiting for the real meaning of the exam to begin.
Lieber stood in front of all the candidates, his gaze scanning through the lenses over the faces of the various expressions, as if pleased with the expressions on the faces of the crowd. So he smiled softly: "I think you have already understood the rules of the exam, and the fourth round of the exam determines the last few places that can become hunters." Now take this warship and head to the back half of this garrison island, which is a large forest that is suitable for the fourth round of the exam. ”
None of the candidates made a sound, nor did they say anything.
Because everyone needs to think calmly, what to do next, in order to become a qualified hunter, not just a prey
Lieber departed in his airship, and the candidates were taken by Lieber's assistant, a very young-looking woman, to the warship they had been aboarding.
All the candidates returned to the deck of the warship to relax their nerves and take a rare break before the fourth round of exams began.
The warship sailed towards the other side of the garrison island, and Ogata sat on the ground near the railing, and it was interesting to watch the candidates who were frowning and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Because Lieber seems to want to foresee a scene, that is, before the exam, let everyone's psychological level have a negative impact.
Affordability. This may also be one of the important factors to test whether a person has the qualifications of a hunter!
Ogata had nothing to do, his eyes wandering over all the candidates, some of whom he felt familiar, and who knew and greeted him, while others were relatively unfamiliar and had never spoken, and they had not made a special impression.
Even when you see it at a glance, it will give Ogata a feeling. Such a guy was able to survive until the fourth round of exams without being eliminated.
Because the candidates who impressed him and felt strongly were all strong contenders with strength and qualifications to compete for hunters.
Number 16! With the number 16 at the top of the badge, there's no reason why Ogata would forget who the guy wearing it is. So when he looked at these people, he was also trying to remember.
It wasn't until Ogata saw a familiar figure that he finally remembered what the hell this damn No. 16 was.
An opponent who is not easy or difficult for Ogata!
Dunba!
Candidate No. 16 is this Dunba nicknamed 'Rookie Killer'!
Ogata's memory was right for the number of seats, no wonder the sixteenth was so familiar, when a few of them had just arrived at the exam venue. It's this bastard who approaches and flatters. Finally, set a trap. Leoli almost collapsed under the hallucinatory tree.
Donba didn't seem to notice Ogata's restrained gaze.
He looked around with his own eyes, as if he was locking on to his goal, just like the other candidates.
That seemingly honest and honest face looks harmless and a trustworthy middle-aged uncle, but in fact it is a hypocritical illusion. Ogata can't forget the first time they met, and this guy made a bad impression on him.
And after his heart was exposed, inside those cunning eyes. It is unabashedly insidious and vicious.
This man takes pleasure in deceiving people and playing tricks, and likes to frame newcomers, which is a shameful existence for many candidates. So after these few levels, he has no companions around him, and no one communicates with him.
But it is precisely because of this that he was able to survive to this level, whether it is strong or smart, it proves that this man still has two brushes. Both experience and heart are much stronger than these relatively immature candidates.
Ogata withdrew his gaze. He was afraid that if he stared at him for a long time, Donba would notice him.
Guy who will deceive people. It must be the most defensive and vigilant. Ogata couldn't help but think of the night god moon he had seen in the world of Death Note.
However, compared to a genius like Night God Moon, Dunba is not half a star worse, and there is no comparison at all.
Since the opponent is Donba, Ogata's mind is working, and he has no charter in his heart.
He looked back at Xiaojie and the others, because he didn't know who his companions were and who the opponents he drew were!
Leoli and Kurapika looked normal, and the two of them were chatting, as if they were discussing something. And Xiaojie and Killua stood together, looking at the sea.
Ogata stood up and slowly walked behind the two of them, "What are you worried about, Xiaojie?" ”
"Huh?" Xiaojie turned around and looked at Ogata behind him in shock. It's the same with Killua, I don't know what Ogata sees.
Ogata smiled and pointed to the fishing rod in Xiaojie's hand, and slowly explained, "Your fishing rod is rarely held in your hand all the time when you are not fishing. It should be a little nervous in my heart, so you need to use it to rely on. But seriously, this is the first time I've seen you express nervousness. Because I know Xiaojie, but he is a very calm kind of person. ”
Hearing Ogata's words, Xiao Jie's eyes widened slightly, and Killua on the side said, "Oh? "Yes.
"Looks like you're really nuanced." Killua looked at Ogata and said with a smile.
Ogata smiled back at Killua and then looked at Xiaojie, "Is it because of the number you drawn, is it special?" ”
"Uh-huh." Xiaojie nodded helplessly, but quickly cheered up and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I drew this." As he spoke, he quietly unfolded the piece of paper he had in his pocket and handed it to Ogata, who was standing across from him.
Ogata's gaze greeted, and when he saw '44', his expression changed, and he quickly understood Xiaojie's worries, even distress.
"This luck" Ogata smiled bitterly and patted Xiaojie on the shoulder: "It's okay, don't force it." There are other opportunities, and the content of this exam is not for you to defeat Hisoka, but just to take away his number plate. ”
"Ogata is right, Jay." Killua nodded.
Xiao Jie opened his mouth and regained his usual self-confidence: "Even if the opponent is that kind of guy, I have to face it." If you don't try, you won't get results, which is what Aunt Kate taught me. ”
Ogata let out an "um", he was not sure if Xiao Jie could really take the number plate from Hisoka. Because Hisoka is indeed terrifying, but the final result of the guy who was able to snatch the ball from President Nitro really can't be predicted.
Besides, Hisoka doesn't work here, there are other ways to solve it.
Xiaojie looks simple, but his brain is still very bright, and Ogata is not worried that he will be killed by a tree. (To be continued......)
