Saibi Island, the location of the fourth hunter test.
The candidates got off the boat and landed on the island one by one in the order they arrived at the bottom of the tower for the third hunter test.
The content of the 'Island Hunting' test is very simple, that is, each person draws a number card of another candidate, which is the target he needs to 'hunt' this time. A week later, if you return to the starting point with your own number plate and target number plate, you will pass the test.
Your own number plate is worth three points, and the number plate of the drawn target person is also worth three points, for a total of six points. The other people's number plates only have one point. That is to say, if you don't know who your target is, you can randomly 'hunt' three people, seize their number plates, and ensure that you don't lose your number plate. , you can also accumulate six points to pass the level.
It can be seen that after this exam, there should be very few candidates left.
After the examiner, Li Bo, announced the exam rules, almost all the candidates secretly hid the number plates on their chests, except for...number forty-four.
Watching the candidates lining up to land on the island one by one, she put down her phone and followed them until the twenty-first Killua.
Althea changed numbers with someone at the time, but the class was still a daytime class. After all, she could see more clearly during the day, but she had to reverse day and night at night. It was a more difficult group.
But to be honest, this job is really boring... Althea watched Killua walking aimlessly in the forest. It was obvious that he didn't know who the target he had drawn needed to be hunted. .
Unless there are dangerous people like Hisoka No. 44, or kids like Gon and Killua who are in a big crowd, most of the candidates are public faces, and anyone who can do it will memorize their numbers one by one in advance. Woolen cloth.
Therefore, this exam is actually not very beneficial to Killua and Gon. They may not remember what other people's numbers are, but it can be said that almost most people will remember the numbers of these two children very clearly.
After all, more than 400 candidates were eliminated until only 24 were left. The strength of those two children must have shocked many people, it was too outstanding.
Of course, Althea believes that Gon and Killua, who are recognized by their master, will never be eliminated here. She was still waiting for Killua to help her...ahem.
While following the other person's back through the forest on the island, Althea took out a chocolate-flavored lollipop from her pocket and opened it.
There was no way, this test was a protracted battle, so she had to prepare some food rations with her. Not only that, she also brought a mobile phone power bank in case her phone ran out of battery halfway through, and she would be bored to death.
Killua was still walking aimlessly in the forest underneath, as if he was here for a trip.
Couldn't this brat walk faster and go directly to the destination to start resting? With such stop and go, she didn't even have time to take out her mobile phone to catch fish!
Just when Althea took off the lollipop wrapper and put it in her mouth angrily, Killua's feet suddenly stopped for a beat as he stepped forward.
I saw him move the tip of his nose like a cat, and then secretly glanced sideways at someone following him in the tree.
Damn it, it’s the latest chocolate-filled lollipop from the HXH brand! ! !
Killua swallowed subconsciously, and then quickly took a few steps forward, forcing himself not to be tempted by the tempting scent of candy.
Unfortunately, the more he tried to block out the alluring sweet aroma, the more he thought about it all the time and couldn't concentrate at all.
You know, he is a man who will spend all his pocket money on his favorite candies!
This is too much. How can this woman openly eat snacks and fish during working hours? It’s still his favorite snack!
He wants to complain! He wants to protest!
Finally, after gritting his teeth and holding on for another half an hour, Killua finally couldn't bear it and stopped.
So Althea in the tree saw him taking out his mobile phone from his pants pocket, immersed himself in it and started typing. Then, the phone in her pocket vibrated twice.
Althea curiously took out her phone and opened it, and found that it was indeed a message from Killua.
[Killua: I want to complain to the exam committee about you, eating fish and snacks during work, affecting the candidates' tests! ! ! 】
Althea was stunned. She never expected that eating a lollipop would make that kid break his defense like this.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she bit the outer shell of the chocolate candy in her mouth. In an instant, the strawberry jam inside poured out, and the rich, sweet and fruity fragrance lingered in her mouth. With her breathing, it seemed that her whole body was filled with Surrounded by this wonderful happiness.
"Asshole, you did it on purpose!!" Smelling the increasingly strong smell of candy, Killua was so angry that he stopped sending a message and shouted directly into the air, "I won't do it if you don't do this again!!!"
With a bang, a lollipop hit his head.
Killua was about to curse, but after he realized that it was the lollipop he had been longing for, the expression on his face changed instantly, and the original angry and unhappy look was gone.
"That's pretty much it..." Killua bit open the package and couldn't wait to put the lollipop into his mouth.
Althea found it funny, she was still a little kid after all. She looked at Killua's furry hair and suddenly felt that it must feel good to touch.
She remembered her previous conversation with Master Nitro and asked her to become a leader... Maybe it would be good to accept such an interesting little apprentice.
After they pass the hunter test on the surface, they will be taught how to read in secret by professional hunters specially arranged by the Hunter Association, who are also the so-called guides.
It is not until those who pass the exam officially complete the practice of Nian that they truly pass the hunter test and become a professional hunter.
[Asia: If you eat my candy, you have to work for me! 】
[Killua: I know, I know, you have interrupted my interest in eating sweets. Don’t worry, wait until I deal with the guy behind me who has been staring at me]
[Asia: OK, I have to change shifts with someone after sunset. I can’t come until tomorrow during the day. Don’t be too late]
[Killua: Of course, of course, don’t worry about me doing the work! 】
But five hours later...
Seeing that the sun was slowly setting in the horizon, Althea became a little impatient in waiting.
[Asia: Why are you still wandering around? ! 】
The person following Killua who wanted to seize his number plate has been solved. What's more coincidental is that they are a pair of three brothers, and one of them is actually Killua's hunting target this time!
In other words, he was lucky enough to collect six points and complete the assessment task in just the first day. Just find a place to stay, wait until the seventh day, and return directly to the ship to pass this round of testing.
So now he is the most relaxed person on the island. He has nothing to do, so why not hurry up and help her with her work!
[Killua: Am I helping you find someone? Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, this kind of thing should be considered in the long run]
Althea:......
[Asia: How long do you want to discuss]
She wanted to jump off the tree now, grab Killua by the collar and throw him in front of Hisoka.
In fact, she mentioned it casually, just to cause trouble. She didn't really want to see someone's figure. After all, she was not a pervert.
In addition, she is eating well every day now, and her cheap partner's abdominal muscles are also absolutely beautiful.
It's just that when the other party really agreed to her, she must have more or less expectations in her heart. This is normal, right?
It's like the teacher promised you that there will be no homework today, and then when you are looking forward to it, he says, "I think you might as well give some homework."
[Killua: There is no way, that Hisoka is hiding so well, I have no clues for a while]
[Killua: And you can’t take the initiative to reveal it to me, otherwise it will be a violation of the exam rules, right →_→]
Hum, this kid actually threatened her.
It was obvious that he was just slacking off in his work. Of course Althea was not stupid. She could see the other person's little thoughts at a glance.
They said they were looking for Hisoka No. 44, but in fact they were just wandering around without any purpose, and they didn't explore any information at all.
Seeing that it was time to change shifts, Althea had given up hope, but unexpectedly the plot took a turn.
When Killua was walking to the edge of a forest, he suddenly smelled a nice dessert aroma, which he liked. So I turned my steps and walked towards the direction of the smell, wanting to see who was eating. Maybe the person was a nice person with a cheerful personality who loved to make friends and was willing to share.
It turned out that the other person was indeed cheerful, loved to make friends, and was willing to share. After finding out that Killua followed the taste, he directly asked him if he wanted a piece.
"Hmm, do you want to come together?" Hisoka asked very generously, holding a small biscuit, "It's still too lonely to be alone. It would be more interesting for two people to eat together~~"
Killua:......
Killua's body is stiff and his face is even stiffer.
"No..." He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the mission assigned by someone and someone still staring at him from behind, Killua had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Okay, okay."
"Hmm~" Hisoka didn't expect that he would really agree. His high eyebrows were raised, looking a little surprised. But the next second he narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "I thought you would refuse~~"
Killua now had an aura of resistance written all over his body, but he had to pretend to be calm and walk over, which Hisoka found very interesting.
When Killua finally came and sat down in front of him, thinking that it was already like this, he took a small biscuit and put it in his mouth to eat, Hisoka once again opened his mouth to test, "I am you goal?"
Killua's expression suddenly froze. Looking at the excited and perverted look flashing in the other person's eyes, he suddenly felt that the cookie in his mouth didn't taste good at all! ! !
Can he stop doing this job? ! What is so special about him with this size 44 figure! ! He's crazy to take this deal. Help! ! !
He really paid too much to avoid his big brother!
Unexpectedly, I finally escaped from home and ran directly into the arms of that guy Yi Mi. He just found out that the weirdo No. 301 was actually his elder brother in disguise. Damn it!
It's a pity that he will have to rely on that woman to escape, so he can only bite the bullet again and resist the urge to run away.
Killua felt that he was really stubborn.
Forget it, if it happened to help Xiaojie, it would be a comfort.
I don’t know what’s going on with Xiaojie now. After all, he got the lottery number 44 and was going to steal Hisoka’s number plate.
Yes, although his target is not Hisoka, Gon is.
"No, my target is not you." Killua pretended to be calm again, "It's No. 199. Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know~" Hisoka really didn't know, because he had no interest in memorizing those rotten Apple number plates. "Then what's your number plate?"
Killua was a little frightened by being stared at, but he was not afraid of Hisoka's question. He knew that the opponent's prey was not him, because the person who drew his number plate had already been killed by him.
So Killua casually took out his number plate, number ninety-nine, displayed it for a moment and then quickly took it back.
"It's a pity, no~" Hisoka raised his eyebrows, showing regret, but in fact, he didn't have high hopes. After all, if his goal is the little apple in front of him, he should be able to remember it. At least he will feel that the number is familiar, instead of being like now, having no idea who No. 384 is... I guess it must be some boring one. A rotten apple.
"Then do you know who No. 384 is?"
"have no idea."
"Uh-huh, okay~" Hisoka said, "Don't just sit there, come on, eat more~~"
"Did you bring all the snacks from the cafeteria on the airship?" Killua's mouth twitched slightly.
"Are you curious about how I brought him out?" Hisoka suddenly leaned forward, exuding a dangerous aura. "Would you like to try it yourself..."
The two were sitting opposite each other under the tree, so close that Killua felt like the pores all over his body were exploding with stress.
Come on, little Killua! ! !
At this time, Althea on the tree looked anxiously at the two people below, cheering each other on in her heart.
My happiness depends on you! You have to live up to your expectations, little Killua! !
It's a pity that Killua can't hear him under the tree. He only has one thought in his mind now, and that is...escape!
But his legs refused to obey him and he couldn't move at all, so the battle between heaven and man began again in his brain.
That woman promised him that she would ensure his safety, no matter whether what she said was true or not, but thinking that the other person was watching him from the tree now, Killua still felt a sense of security.
So why don't you give it a try... Killua moved his fingers slightly, staring at Hisoka's clothes, thinking about whether there was a chance to take action.
Come on, come on!
Althea's heart was filled with excitement. She must seize such a good opportunity, Killua!
At this moment, Hisoka was also keenly aware of the hesitation of the little Apple on the other side. The other party really responded to his provocation and took action intentionally. This made him feel even more excited, so he once again released his murderous intention and stronger fighting spirit.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if a war was about to break out.
Just when Althea in the tree subconsciously raised her heart to her throat, her colleague's voice suddenly came from her headset.
"Asia, I'm here to change shifts. Pay attention to the handover."
"Ah..." Althea suddenly complained, attracting the side glances of the two people below, and the tense atmosphere just now was suddenly broken.
Oh, God’s will.
"I know." Althea sighed, took a look at the sky, and found that it had indeed gotten dark at some point, and the sun was about to set.
Forget it, nothing can be forced. Rather than letting an unreliable guy like Killua help, she might as well act cute with her cheap partner online. Maybe with the little effort she had just put in with Killua, she would have been able to harvest a bunch of photos.
So when Althea saw the figure of her colleague who was changing her shift, she left without any hesitation.
Killua:? ?
Hey, wait, at least wait until he leaves Hisoka successfully before leaving! !
Now that his life safety is not guaranteed at all, that bastard woman just slapped her ass and walked away irresponsibly, what should he do? !
Damn it... Killua gritted his teeth.
"What's wrong?" Hisoka noticed something strange about him, "Are you interested in that woman?"
The other party just left temporarily and was so reluctant to leave.
Obviously, the woman he was talking about was Althea, who had just left during the shift.
"No..." Killua's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm just surprised that the examiners need to change shifts."
Haha, it’s not that he is interested in this woman, but that this woman is interested in you and wants me to take off your clothes! !
Killua kept complaining to relieve the huge pressure in his heart at this moment.
"Oh? Really..." Hisoka obviously didn't believe it.
"Well, what about...I won't bother you when I'm full." Since he is no longer needed, Killua is naturally ready to escape.
"Why don't you sit down for a while? The long night is boring..."
"No, I still have to go after my target person."
As a result, just as he turned around to leave, Hisoka's sinister voice came from behind him, "Didn't you already collect all the number plates?"
Killua's steps suddenly froze, and he turned to look at the other person. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead at some point.
"Are you curious about how I guessed it?" Hisoka narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth happily, "Because when I asked you if you were my target, you told me your number very calmly. Obviously You know my target is not you. Why is that... Of course it's because you have already dealt with the person who came to steal your number plate, that is, the person who actually drew your number plate, am I right? "
"Yes, I do know who drew my number card and eliminated the opponent." Killua regained his composure slightly, "That doesn't prove that I have grabbed the number card I need."
"Haha~" Hisoka chuckled twice, his narrow eyes narrowed, and those dangerous eyes were full of determination and teasing that he had already fixed his eyes on the prey, "I don't need any proof at all, because your expression just now told me It’s mine~~”
"..."
"That's right, I lied to you~"
Damn it, so careless.
Killua's back was suddenly soaked in cold sweat.
Cunning, dangerous.
This was all he felt about Hisoka at this moment.
"Whether I have collected all the number plates or not..." Killua tried to save himself, "But your target is not me, is it?"
The implication is that there is no reason for the two of us to go to war.
As a result, Hisoka's eyes became even more murderous, "You just said that you have dealt with the person who came to steal your number plate. In other words, you have his number plate in your hand now, right? Plus you stole it from your target." The number plate you received and your original one are three number plates in total..."
Killua's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard this.
"That's right, it seems that you have also discovered it, right?" Hisoka said calmly, "In other words, as long as I kill you, I can get three number cards from you, which is three points. In this case, I will get three more number cards." Three points for putting on my own number plate, which is six points.”
Six points represented the points required to pass the level, and he could complete the test directly.
"So, do you still think that I have no reason to kill you?"
Killua:......
Killua felt like he was falling into an ice cave. He had never been so scared.
Escape, can you escape...
Bastard, hateful woman, she killed him! ! !
Just when the atmosphere in the venue was extremely tense, the buzzing sound of the mobile phone vibrating suddenly broke the tranquility before the storm.
It's Hisoka's cell phone.
But neither of them moved.
There was another buzz, and this time someone finally moved.
This story tells us that once the atmosphere is interrupted twice, the atmosphere that was finally gathered just now can never be restored.
Hisoka resentfully put down the playing cards he had taken out at some point, took out his cell phone and opened it to check.
[Aiyahaiya: My dear, how is your injury? After thinking about it, I’m still a little worried. 嘤嘤~】
[Hey hey hey: Let me take a look, otherwise I really can’t rest assured. I couldn’t concentrate when I was at work just now. 嘤嘤嘤~]
[Hey hey hey: Is that okay, 嘤嘤嘤_(:з」∠)_】
Hisoka:......
Hisoka's mouth twitched slightly, he raised his hand and typed: [Magician: Don't worry, baby, my injury is not serious~~]
[Hey hey hey: Is it nothing serious? I don’t believe it. You must be afraid that I will worry, so you report good news but not bad news, right? ? I knew it! ! 】
Hisoka turned his head and glanced at the wound on his shoulder: ...
【magician:-_-】
[Hey hey hey: Sure enough, I guessed it right! quick! Don't worry me anymore, let me see your wound! 】
Hisoka hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and put it on his wound. A pink halo suddenly appeared in his hand, and then the gaping cut disappeared.
[Magician: No, I have actually recovered~~]
[Hey, hey, hey: I don’t believe it, unless you let me see it! 】
After seeing the news, Hisoka only hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the little Apple opposite.
"Why, why are you looking at me like that?" Just when Hisoka was reciting it, Killua didn't know what it was, but the aura was exactly the same as that of his elder brother, which made him uneasy, so he subconsciously stepped back. A few steps.
At this time, Hisoka looked over, and then handed the mobile phone in his hand to him.
Killua was suddenly confused and had questions on his face.
Hisoka: "Take a picture for me~"
Killua:...? ?
Hisoka: "I'll let you go if I take a picture~"
Killua:......
Killua took the phone with a look of resistance.
