Sure enough, after hearing Ogata's words, the captain's face had a smile of relief, and he slowly opened his mouth: "You're right, there is indeed no limited quota, when this ship is close to the port of Dolly, you are the preparatory candidates for this year's hunter exam." So, all four of you qualified! ”

"I see." Xiao Jie nodded on the side and said happily.

Leoli and Kurapika, who were about to fight each other at a disagreement, suddenly calmed down and listened to the conversation between him and the captain as if they had been poured cold water on it after hearing Ogata's words.

Ogata's eyes lit up, and he said at the right time, "We all have the same goal, which is to become hunters." Whether it is a competitor or a companion who has been with you all the way, everyone has experienced a storm and has friends who have gathered their feelings. Therefore, let go of their selfishness and don't care about each other's mistakes, so that they can face it calmly! ”

Hearing this, the two looked at each other.

Kurapika's expression changed at this time, his eyes were much soothed, he put away the double knives in his hands, looked at Leoli, and said, "I'm sorry, Leoli, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you for no reason." ”

"Uh." Leoli scratched his hair, looked at Kurapika, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Kurapika, I shouldn't have commented on your family casually, this is what I did wrong." ”

"Great, Leoli, Kurapika. If you reconcile, then we can go to the hunter exam together. Xiao Jie couldn't help but smile brightly when he saw that both of them had put down their hostility on the side.

Ogata also smiled, although he didn't know much about Kurapika. But Leoli is such a straightforward guy. Tong guò for a period of time together. His character and temper have long been known by heart. As long as the other party is willing to admit his mistake, Leoli will definitely not hold on to this matter.

When two people have a conflict, what they are most afraid of is that this strength is screwed to the end, and neither of them will create a step for the other party.

Now, both of them have room for each other, and neither of them will care about a dispute that has occurred in their own anger.

"Yusuke Ogata, right?" At this time, the captain looked at Ogata, who had resolved the entire conflict, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are more than just a good doctor. Will be a pretty good hunter in the future! ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Ogata replied politely without arrogance.

The captain habitually took out his pipe, but found that he couldn't find it in his pocket, and he suddenly remembered it, and smiled: "It seems that I still can't get rid of the old habit of smoking." I'm curious, what would you say if you were asked to answer the same question? ”

"Why do you want to be a hunter?" Ogata looked at him.

"Hmm." The captain nodded in acknowledgment.

Ogata and Xiaojie, almost without thinking, replied directly, "I want to be stronger." Because I know that the group of people who stand at the top of this world are called hunters. On them. There must be a skill that is different from ordinary people, I want to understand and get it! ”

"Oh?" The captain was stunned, his eyes staring at Ogata's face with deep meaning: "What you said is true" He was shocked when he heard Ogata's words

"Saw it in a book. The content is brushed aside, and the talk is very general and obscure. I don't know what it is, but theoretically, it's supposed to be an ability beyond the power of the flesh. Ogata said lightly.

Maybe Leori didn't even know that in a book about the profession of hunter that he once gave Ogata to relieve his boredom on the hospital bed, it was revealed that the great hunters in this world all have some kind of power.

This power is not even mentioned by name, and most people will understand it as an adjective when they read this, implying that the spirit of these strong men is precious and their dedication is very great. In fact, Ogata has compared many anecdotes about hunters mentioned in many books, and it seems that they have used such vague words to explain the secret of their strength.

Now, when Ogata saw the look of surprise in the captain's eyes, he realized that the speculation he had made, even if there was no unfounded imagination, should be real in the hunter world.

That so-called 'power' must only be mastered after becoming a qualified hunter!

Therefore, in addition to the convenience of obtaining a hunter's license, Ogata is even more looking forward to what kind of special power the hunter has, and whether he will be able to obtain power beyond the boundaries of ordinary people like his gangqi

He had now recovered enough qi to inspire Menyu at any time and return to the world that originally belonged to him.

But one of the main reasons why Ogata didn't do this was that if he returned, he would definitely face the remnants of the Blackcoat Order, and they would still have machine guns with the same firepower.

When the time comes, if Ogata still has this strength, he should replicate the same ending. Don't say that protecting Zhibao from being harmed, even if he can escape the pursuit of the black-clad organization, it is still a question mark.

So Ogata paves the way for himself! Only in this world that seems to be able to reluctantly integrate into oneself, can you find a new key to power, and after you go back, you can truly be invincible in front of modern firearms!

"You know what it's called, right?" Ogata looked at the captain and stopped when he saw that the other party wanted to speak.

The captain was silent for a long time and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't sue you yet." But I'm pretty sure you'll be able to master this power when you're shortlisted for the hunter exam. ”

"Thank you." Ogata smiled at him and didn't ask any more questions.

Mindset is very important, thinking about one thing, not to get it immediately, but to be satisfied. Instead, I look forward more and more, and only through my own efforts can I enjoy this hard-won happiness

The sky was clear and clear.

The passenger ship was already close to the shores of the port of Dory, and Ogata and Leoli stood on the bow deck and watched the view of the island.

"It's one of the best islands in this area, and it's bigger than Whale Island. And it looks very prosperous, and many people have gathered there on the shore. Kukapika changed into his clothes to dry. Said to the three people around him.

Leoli nodded, "After all, it was chosen by those annoying guys of the Hunter Guild as the place to apply for the hunter exam. It won't be far from it. ”

When this passenger ship docked. Several crew members still dropped anchor, using ropes to secure the hull of the boat from swaying with the waves.

Leoli, carrying his handbag, swaggered ahead, jumped lightly, and jumped onto land.

He opened his arms, tried to breathe in the air on the shore, and laughed: "It's still comfortable on land, I'm really fed up with rickety passenger ships." ”

"It's nice to be down-to-earth." Then. Ogata stood beside him, his eyes looking around.

When Jay and Kurapika were ashore, the four of them said goodbye to the captain and crew of the ship and headed inland on Dolly Island.

But soon, Ogata noticed that the neighborhood was full of people, and the way they looked around was probably not local.

"They, like us, should be candidates who came to save their lives to take the exam." Kurapika calmly analyzed.

Xiaojie said: "There are many people, and it is worthy of the hunter exam once a year. ”

These people are all fierce and vicious. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are all characters that are not easy to mess with.

"But the strength of the majority. None of them are good. Leoli pursed his lips, and when he saw these guys, he thought of the candidates who had been eliminated by the four of them on the passenger ship.

"Now try your best to get ahead of these people and get to the place where you signed up for the competition. So we should take a bus and go to Saba City. Kurapika said at this time, and he had clearly done his homework on this.

At this time, Ogata spoke up, "No. All we had to do was follow the road to the mountain and find the huge silver fir tree at the top of the mountain. This is a shortcut to the Hunter Exam venue. ”

"Huh?" Leoli and Xiaojie were stunned, and even Kurapika looked at Ogata suspiciously.

Ogata smiled slightly: "Before I went ashore, the captain told me. ”

"Well, is what the old man said credible?" Leoli was skeptical.

Ogata affirmed, "There's no reason for him to lie to me, arriving on Dolly Island, his mission is over." If it is said that it is not good for him to play the hunter of the future. ”

"Oh, that's great, we can find the exam venue as much as we can, and get there before everyone else!" Xiaojie said excitedly.

Kurapika nodded, "Alright then, let's go to that mountain." ”

"Wait, aren't you going to take the bus?" Leoli looked at the crowd.

Ogata patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "With so many people crowded on the bus, something similar to that passenger ship could happen, so in order to save time and reduce risk, it's best not to choose a decision that looks 'conventional'." ”

"Well, what you said seems to make sense." Leoli glanced back at the sight of so many candidates waiting for the bus, and couldn't help but give up the argument he had just tried to refute.

The more time he spent in contact, the more he realized that he seemed to be convinced by what Ogata said.

"Wait." Just before everyone was about to go up the mountain, a voice sounded behind them.

Everyone turned around and found a man with a double stick on his back, a smile on his face, and a little similar set coming over: "I'm sorry, my name is Matthew!" It's also a candidate who is rushing up the mountain, can you add me one? ”

Ogata looked at him, Leoli was a little disdainful, Kurapika was silent, only Xiaojie said enthusiastically, "Okay, Mr. Matthew." My name is Jay, and this one next to me is Leoli, Ogata, and Kurapika. ”

Listening to Xiaojie's introduction to everyone, Ogata couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that it is difficult to refuse this kid named Matthew.

Hearing this, Matthew immediately greeted everyone with a smile, although everyone didn't like him well

There was an extra Matthew on the way up the mountain, which always felt awkward.

Because a discerning person can see at once that this kid has a ghost in his heart.

The biggest possibility is to take advantage of everyone.

Ogata and Leoli, Kurapika walk together. And Xiaojie and Matthew went one after the other, occasionally chatting a few words.

Suddenly, Matthew seemed to fall to the ground, clutching his leg and screaming in pain.

"My ankle seems to have broken and it hurts." Matthew yelled, and Leori didn't look back. Too lazy to talk to him. Only Xiaojie kindly helped this guy up. And planned to carry him up the mountain with him.

Leori snorted, glanced back at Matthew and Jay, and said to Ogata and Kurapika beside him, "What the hell is this bastard doing?" ”

"It seems that he wants to use Xiaojie and consume his body." Kurapika said coldly, dismissive of this Matthew's approach.

Ogata sighed, is Xiaojie really suitable to be a hunter like this?

He stopped and said, "I'll go and see." Wait here. With that, he walked back to the way he had been.

Leoli and Kurapika nodded, staying where they were.

Ogata finds Xiaojie and finds that he is carrying Matthew, who seems to be unable to walk due to leg pain. And the latter was carried by Xiao Jie, who seemed to enjoy it very much.

"Xiaojie, put him down." Ogata walked over and said with a smile.

Xiaojie was stunned and glanced at Matthew behind him: "Ogata, Matthew is injured"

"I'm a doctor, I'll treat him." Ogata still smiled approachingly.

Hear the words. Xiao Jie suddenly recalled that he was in his own line. There is also the doctor's deposit zài. Immediately he did as Ogata had said, and put the reluctant Matthew on the grass by the side of the road.

"Xiaojie, you go up first, find Leoli and them, and I'll follow later." Ogata said to him.

Xiaojie hesitated.

Matthew's expression changed, avoiding Ogata's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Xiaojie, don't let me go here, I'm going to go with you"

"It's okay, you go, Xiaojie, I'm a doctor, I'll take care of this Mr. Matthew." Ogata reassured Xiaojie and handed over a relieved look.

Xiaojie nodded, and walked briskly up the mountain.

At this point, only Ogata and this Matthew, who was sitting on the ground, were left on the mountain road.

"Mr. Matthew, which leg did you hurt?" Ogata asked him politely.

Matthew looked at Ogata in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it yet, and pointed to one of his legs vigilantly: "Here, I should have broken it when I went up the mountain just now." ”

"Oh, I'll take a look." As he spoke, Ogata put a hand on Matthew's lap.

Matthew looked at him, and suddenly noticed that Ogata, who was originally smiling and smiling very kindly, seemed to have a chill in his eyes.

He trembled, and his heart struck

"Click!" Ogata's palm slammed into five fingers and grabbed the joint of Matthew's calf and twisted it fiercely.

Suddenly, Matthew's face was twisted and white in pain amid the screams.

"There should be something on this mountain road, right?" Ogata's eyes approached his, and he asked coldly.

Matthew's eyes widened in horror as he tried to pull out the stick from his back, but one of Ogata's hands grabbed his aching leg.

"Me"

"I know." Matthew swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the fierce Ogata, and had many thoughts in his heart, and followed the group up the mountain, and at this moment his intestines were already repentant.

Under the pressure of Ogata's gaze, Matthew hurriedly and honestly explained what he knew.

It turned out that the mountain road led to the silver fir tree, but halfway through the mountain road, there would be a place like a wilderness town, with a group of strangely dressed guys, and an old woman in charge of the question asking for answers from the examinees on the way. Only those who have the correct answer will be able to pass the guò test and pass through that place.

And this wilderness town, known as the city of questioners, was the news he bought from others before he went up the mountain.

"You stay here, don't come along, or I'll kill you!" Ogata patted Matthew on the shoulder, headed in the direction of the mountain, and walked away.

Matthew felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he wanted to cry without tears because he was really lame and couldn't get on the road.

And what's even more terrifying is that if he can't act, soon the beasts on the mountain will catch his breath, and then the end will be miserable

"Ogata, where's Matthew?" Xiaojie and they were waiting behind Ogata on the mountain road, and when they saw him coming back alone, they all asked curiously.

Ogata replied lightly, "I've already healed this guy's injuries, and he thinks he can get through Guò by himself, so he doesn't plan to go with us." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jie nodded with some disappointment.

Leoli and Kurapika glanced at each other and looked at the calm Ogata in front of them. They knew that the man must have done something. Otherwise, that annoying guy will definitely follow.

The four of them continued on their way. On the way, Ogata pondered what Matthew had told him.

A city of Q&As?

What questions will be asked?

When everyone shows up in an isolated abandoned town in the wilderness. Looking at the dilapidated buildings and the garbage all over the ground, I paused.

Ogata's nose is sensitive and he quickly sniffs out the strange guys Matthew had spoken of.

Soon, a large group of imps dressed in white, dyed with colorful hair and masks surrounded from behind, and from front of them came a crystal necklace. Old woman with a cane.

Although everyone was very strange, they made up their minds when they saw that the pattern on the cane was the symbol of the Hunters' Guild.

"Someone who can get through guò here has to answer my questions." The old woman looked at everyone and said in a hoarse voice.

Here it comes!

Ogata's reaction was the most normal, as he had already learned about it beforehand. Others, on the other hand, looked at the old woman with some surprise.

There is no way, everyone can only wait for the old woman to come up with the question.

"Who's coming first?" Kurapika asked everyone.

Leoli replied with a grin, 'I'll answer first, I'll see what kind of questions this old woman asks.' He rolled up his sleeves and stood up without hesitation.

"Leoli." This time. Ogata suddenly whispered behind him.

Leori heard Ogata's voice and looked back at him.

"The old woman's question. If it's not directly related to the hunter's job, don't answer it. Ogata reminded.

Kurapika and Jay also heard Ogata's words and were a little confused.

"Because the questions related to hunters are naturally right and wrong, and they are a test of our ability to understand this identity, so answering correctly and answering wrong is disqualified, and it is according to common sense to play cards. I'm afraid that the question she will ask later has nothing to do with the hunter exam, whether it is correct or wrong, there is no measure of what we are a hunter for. So there is only one possibility, she is a test of our ability to calm down, with the hunter must have a cool head and wait in silence! ”

When Leori heard Ogata's words, he knew what he wanted.

The old woman opposite suddenly asked, "If your mother and lover fall into the water at the same time, who should you save first?" ”

What the!?

Leoli's expression changed, and this hateful old woman really asked about something that had nothing to do with the hunter's work. And there is no way to answer this question.

Remembering what Ogata said, Leoli's face turned red, and he snorted coldly, not answering the question.

He looked at the old woman angrily, waiting for the five seconds to pass.

Oh?

The old woman looked thoughtfully behind Leoli, who seemed to have said something.

When the five-second answer was over, Leoli remained silent.

The old woman's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly said, "Did you see through the essence of this question?" Her words were clearly asking Ogata.

"I just know the essence of a hunter."

Ogata replied slowly.

Along the way, he experienced the ship, and the wilderness town, and gradually understood that this test seemed to be more focused on inner cohesion than simple fighting skills.

"Okay, you're done! After about two hours of walking from the entrance of this passage, you will reach the silver fir tree at the top of the mountain, and you will be greeted by a guide and his wife! The old woman said with a smile.

When a door behind the old woman opened, everyone realized that the real way was here.

After Leori and the others walked in, Ogata stopped by the old woman's side.

"The hunter test before the official exam shouldn't be over yet, right? The tour guide couple shouldn't have taken us to the real exam room so easily, right? ”

The old woman glanced at Ogata and said with a smile, "Go ahead, smart young man." ”

"Thank you." Ogata had already gotten the answer he wanted, and quickened his pace to catch up with Leori in front of him. (To be continued......)
