"Director, do you mean that this kid named Yusuke Ogata has already mastered the ability of 'reading' before obtaining a hunter's license?" The gray-clad man behind Lipber thought for a moment, then asked.

"Well, although some people have comprehended 'reading' in previous exams, he is the first one that interests me."

Lieber nodded, and he tapped a few times on the keyboard in front of him, and the perspective on the monitor shifted, and the figures of Ogata and the others appeared again. The four of them were pressing the bracelet and selecting the 'yes' and 'no' passages to guò.

His gaze wandered, and Lipber's eyes were fixed on Ogata alone.

Remembering that before the third round of exams began, Nitro, who was the head of the Hunters' Guild, actually called him personally, which was something that had never happened in the previous exams he had participated in.

There are two things that make Lipber very concerned, one is that the candidates who take the exam have obtained the ability to read in advance, and the other thing is that although President Nitro's words on the phone are very tactful, the meaning revealed is that this kid's reading ability is very strong!

He had been working in this trap tower for many years, and seemed to have been doing his job as a master since the moment he became a hunter. Although he is a bounty hunter, he is more concerned with guarding the prisoners in this tower and maintaining order here.

Read! Fight! Fighting.

The disturbance from the outside world seems to have nothing to do with it.

Lipber looked at the black-robed kid in the monitor, a smile crossed his lips, he hadn't been outside for a long time. I almost forgot that all these years have passed. It's already an era of geniuses.

"That's right. Have the five prisoners been arranged? Liber looked at his subordinates behind him and asked lightly.

The subordinate nodded, and said cautiously: "They are ready, just wait for these candidates to reach their territory." These guys have heard that they can reduce their sentences by dealing with five hunter candidates, and they are very cooperative with your orders. They will do their best to fight these little guys, and there will be no possibility of releasing water. ”

"Hmm." Lipber nodded in satisfaction, and he suddenly smiled, "Prepare me a set of clothes for prisoners." ”

The subordinates looked at the director strangely, although they didn't understand the use. But he did as he was told. Because in a place like the Trap Tower, his words represent absolute control.

He can determine whether the prisoners are alive or dead, and he can also determine their sentences and release those who he likes directly.

"That's right. Sue a few of them, let the No. 402 candidate in the black robe be the last to appear! The order of the others, whatever. Lipber smiled, his eyes shining through the thin lenses.

"Oh." Nodding his head hurriedly, he found the walkie-talkie and went to instruct the prisoners on the other end who were preparing to welcome the candidates

Ogata and the others are just arriving, exploring the passages inside the trap tower.

The light here is dim. Just counting on the electric lights hanging on the wall, Xiaojie and Killua walked in the front. Kurapika and Ogata walked behind, and Leori came to the back. Because no one knows if there will be something suddenly on the way before and after, such as a beast or something. This is because it is likely to be part of the exam process that sets the level of difficulty.

With the choice of several intersections through Guò, everyone has gradually become accustomed to choosing the topics of 'yes' and 'no'. At first, Leoli and Jay always have opposing opinions, because their personalities and thinking skills can't agree with the three of Ogata. However, in the subsequent selection process, everyone's tacit understanding is getting more and more sufficient, and the choice of an intersection is always completed 5 to 0.

The bracelet accurately calculates the time left for this exam. Ogata glanced at it, and it was already 69, apparently they had consumed about 3 hours or so in their search for the entrance and the time it took to find the way here. It's not long, but they don't know what the content of the exam set for them in the trap tower is or if the more than sixty hours will be very tight. Most of the exam content they have experienced before can be completed in a few hours. But now the third round consumes almost as much time as the previous games combined.

So Ogata worries that this exam is actually a war of time attrition against the clock.

When they tacitly pressed the button of the bracelet and opened the gate of a passage in Guò, the light in front of them suddenly expanded, and what appeared in front of Ogata and the others was a square platform of about 100 square meters.

The square platform was located in the middle of the hall where they were now, and the edge of the platform was empty all around, and there was a bottomless silence as far as the eye could see.

"What's this?" Leoli stepped forward, and when he saw the square platform, he looked puzzled, and he looked at it seriously for a long time, but he didn't come to any conclusion. But it's not hard to guess that it should be related to the content of the next exam.

Instead, Killua sniffed, his face frozen, "I want to smell blood." ”

Indeed, Ogata smells it too! He was a forensic doctor, and a forensic doctor with a good nose, and in the void around the square platform, a fishy smell of blood coagulated wafted from below. It can be seen that someone must have died here, or was injured or something, and the former is more likely, because from the moment he entered this trap tower, he felt a stronger aura than the outside world.

Speaking of which, his Gang Qi fused with his telekinesis, and after the change in nature, not only did his perception not decrease, but he became more acute.

At this moment, the square platform opposite them, after the sound of "crunching", suddenly extended a road, and then a door opened in the darkness, and several figures came out one after another in an orderly manner.

Dressed in a grayish-brown coarse linen robe that covered their heads, with handcuffs on their hands and shackles around their ankles, they made a 'thump' sound as they walked along the paved road, causing the Ogata and the others standing on the opposite side to pay special attention to their survival.

Although the robes covered the faces of several of them. But Ogata noticed. The shackles and shackles of these guys are very thick and hard. Presumably, the weight should be extremely heavy, and he visually estimated that it was about forty or fifty catties. Otherwise, the chains of the shackles would not make such a muffled rumbling sound when they hit the ground.

The wrists and ankles of ordinary people simply could not bear such heavy shackles, let alone move as casually as they did, but their bodies were not fettered at all.

"Who are these guys?" Leoli's face was stunned, and his expression became stern, and he realized that these five figures were standing on the square platform in front of him at this moment, and they should be coming towards them.

Kurapika's eyebrows furrowed slightly. The voice was held up: "We're five of us too, and they're five of them, so it's very likely that we're going to have a duel with these guys one-on-one." ”

Xiaojie and Killua didn't speak, but they were listening carefully to Kurapika's rational analysis.

Just when everyone was ready, a figure led by him stepped forward, he took off his hat, and showed his face straight!

In Ogata's eyes, he was a fierce-looking, tall, muscular man with a bald head. Exuding a terrifying killing intent, his eyes looked at the five of them. His pupils froze: "It turns out that you are the candidates for this year's hunter exam, and we have been waiting for a long time." ”

Hearing him say this, Ogata's first thought was that these five people were indeed the examiners inside the trap tower, and they were sent to fight them. And from the intuitive feeling, the strength of these five people is not weak, and they are definitely not vegetables.

Now that the third round of exams has begun, the number of candidates has shrunk to more than 40. Obviously, this is still a little worse in terms of numbers for the strict admission criteria of the Hunter Guild, so this round of exams is the key to selecting the last qualified hunters.

And these five people can also be understood as the most difficult level to face in the 72-hour completion time!

Handcuffs plus leg irons, and the costumes of these people!

Ogata's gaze wandered, and he looked at them, and they should be prisoners. Therefore, judging from this point, this eerie trap tower is the prison used by the Hunters' Guild to imprison prisoners.

Since they are prisoners, that is to say, once they fight, they will definitely not release water, leaving any leeway. In plain terms, it is to fight to the death! These prisoners, who have been imprisoned here all year round, have a deep grudge in their hearts and need a point to vent! So these guys won't be like those candidates out there, they're completely bloodthirsty and cold-blooded.

Sure enough, next, the man at the head announced the detailed rules of this exam with a malicious smile.

That is, they sent prisoners to duel with the five of them on the quadrat, and as long as three of the five of them won the opponent, they could pass the quadrat.

"How about I'm going to be your opponent in your first duel? Who are you sending to play? The bald man at the head made a contemptuous voice and stood in the center of the quadrangle, his tall figure bringing a sense of oppression. The original handcuffs and shackles were opened, and he moved his fists and feet, as if his momentum had increased because he had regained his freedom.

When the five of them heard the rules, they were all silent.

At this time, Kurapika was the first to break the silence, he said: "I'll come first, it seems that the opponent is a power type, and I happen to be more dexterous." And the rules of the game don't say that weapons can't be used! ”

When the words fell, Kurapika's hands were already two blades that he had been wearing by his side.

"No, I'll do it." Ogata said at this time, not that he didn't believe Kurapika, but that he wanted to open the situation first, so that Leoli and the others could see clearly that these prisoners would not leave their hands at all, and once the fight started, they should not have any scruples.

At this moment, the bald man on the square platform seemed to remember something, and said loudly: "That kid in a black robe among you! ”

Hearing his shout, Ogata's eyes lit up.

Those who wear black robes should be calling themselves!

"You can't be my opponent. Because of the order in which you appear, you have to be in the last round, and someone will duel you at that time! The bald man let out a strange 'hey' smile and looked at Ogata who was staring at him.

Xiaojie, they are very strange, how can there be such a rule!

What is it about asking Ogata not to play in the first four games?

Ogata, as a party in question, didn't understand the meaning of doing so. But now it seems that this arrangement should not have been conceived by these prisoners, but the 'examiner' who had been watching them like a pair of eyes!

"Okay. Let's let Kurapika take the lead! Leoli looked at the bald man standing on the square platform and said to Kurapika, who had already prepared for a long time.

Kurapika nodded, and the mechanism in front of him opened, paving the way to the quadrangle.

Ogata saw him go on the field, but in terms of feelings, Kurapika still had a big chance of winning. I just don't know if he can adapt to this kind of guy who is completely open-minded! (To be continued......)
