Chapter Twenty

　System prompt: Hisoka is poisoned.　

　　The examiner failed to injure him with a poisoned knife. He thought it was hopeless, but he didn't expect this guy to be so complacent, he licked the killing knife like a typical pervert, and poisoned himself...

　...that's a big joke.

　　You hesitated for a few seconds, then took out the rake and decisively entered the battle.

　　What are you waiting for! This is an excellent opportunity to knock Hisoka down, as for whether the method is obscene and despicable... it is out of the scope of discussion for the time being.

　　System prompt: carrot and potato sneak attack succeeded, preemptive attack.

　　(Ah, no! Forgot to change into a bikini!)

　　"Oh~...I didn't expect~~...There is also a little mouse~~...Do you want to die too~...?...~"

　　Due to the poisoning, Hisoka's already weird vibrato trembled even more violently. This guy's life was dropping rapidly at a speed that you could see with the naked eye. You always felt that Hisoka would fall down even if you didn't need to make a move...

　　"You are a murderer who is doing evil! I will fight with you today to eliminate harm for the people!!"

　　You screamed angrily, raised the rake and swung towards him. Hisoka stood crookedly, but the moment you rushed over, he quickly dodged your attack and shot a poker card at the same time. .

　　System prompt: carrot and potato attack MISS.

　　Hisoka launches normal attack, carrot and potato HP-79

　　What? ! Can't hit him after all this! ?

　　With a poker card stuck on your forehead, you glared at the crooked Hisoka angrily. The weapons really can't keep up, you hate Takasugi! If he hadn't bought all the weapons, why would you still be holding the rake!

　　Gritting your teeth and staring at Hisoka, Forcefully pull out the poker card inserted in the forehead and throw it to the side and threw it to the side, then raised the rake high like a mage, and said loudly:

　　"God's Punishment"

　　"Boom" thunder struck from the ceiling, and Hisoka, who was covered in turquoise with only the last bit of vitality left, couldn't dodge. He was struck by the thunder on the spot, and his whole body became scorched black.

　　Great! You clenched your fists and thought. Sure enough, the skills rewarded by the system are easier to use. Although one-time use consumes a quarter of the Psychic Points, it is enough to knock Hisoka down. You were triumphant, and when you were about to do this again to end Hisoka, you suddenly heard the sound of stones moving next to you, subconsciously looked back, and saw a strange man with nails all over his face walking through the secret passage on the wall come out.

　　I...…Ilmi......…

　　"Clack clack clack clack."

　　The nail monster is staring at you, and the jaw and palate keep colliding with each other, making strange sounds in an unknown language. Of course it is impossible for you to understand what he is talking about, but you remember that this person is Killua brother, and also the killer who beat up the guest's family. There is a mutual relationship of cooperation between...

　　"Crack-clack, clack-clack-clack."

　　System prompt: Although you can't understand what Nailhead is saying, you feel the great malice emanating from him.

　　...forgive me! Why is the system so cheap! Its random titles for characters are far more vicious than you can imagine!

　　but...

　　what to do? He is illumi, and his specific strength is unknown, but he will definitely not be weaker than Hisoka. I don't know if he will join the battle to help Hisoka kill you. Generally speaking, he will not meddle in other people's business, but if Hisoka and If there is a deal between him... you are dead!

　　What to do? What to do? What to do...

　　You start to hesitate, when the system suddenly prompts again: You sense danger from Nailhead, should you continue to fight or retreat?

　　...Huh, is there another one like this?

　　After the accident, it is reluctance, you are really unwilling to give up the chance you finally got to defeat Hisoka, but the nail head is really scary, you can't deal with two people at the same time, so after some entanglement, you hate to choose : retreat.

　　System prompt: Carrot potato escaped from the battle...

　　You sprang out of the cheap well tower in one breath, and stopped beside a giant tree. Seeing that the two did not come after you, you patted your chest, took a breath, and turned to face the naive coach who escaped after you.

　　After a moment of hesitation, you walked towards the coach, took out the rake and hit him a few times. Immediately, 3,000 gold coins and a few playing cards fell out of the coach's underpants, which he picked up from the ground after defeating Hisoka just now.

　　But he didn't hand it over to you, you thought dissatisfied, could it be that throwing him from the top of the tower caused the decline in favorability? I don't know if it's an illusion, but the coach looks even more sullen now.

　　You shook your head, turned around regretfully and glanced at the gate of the Jianjing Tower.

　　Currently there are only nailheads and clowns in the hall, so you dare not go back for the time being.

　　You decide to go to the nearby jungle to brush monsters first, save some gold coins and materials and then come back. The essence of the so-called online game is to swipe and swipe, but even though you have worked hard, you still feel that the battle is a bit difficult. Whoever catches anyone in this story will be a twisted and strong person.

　　There are still 64 hours until the end of the third round of testing, you have enough time to continue exploring. After wandering around in the surrounding forest for a while, the enemies are too weak to get any good things. So you continue to walk deep into the forest, but as you walk, you find that the enemies around you start to disappear, and you go a little further, and you see the black forest you walked through before.

　　You suddenly feel strange, thinking that the airship of the Hunter Association has not flown all night? Why haven't you left this place yet? Could it be that the scene production was lazy?

　　The more you think about it, the more subtle it becomes. The feeling of being watched in this forest before still makes you very concerned. What is it? Are there other players besides you? But the possibility is not too high, if you meet a normal human being who can communicate with you in a game full of puppets, you will definitely rush to recognize him/her immediately, there is no reason to just hide in the dark peep.

　　Although this forest makes you feel uneasy, after all, experiencing it in person is not the same as playing games through a screen, but you still decide to go in again to see what is in the depths of the jungle.

　　Thinking like this, you cautiously entered this dark forest alone. After walking along the road for a while, I found that it was different from the road I passed last time, and the positions of the branch intersections had changed.

　Maybe it's not the same forest, you thought, or maybe there are multiple entrances. Keep going, there are only trees and trees and trees around, and there seems to be an endless sea of ​​trees in front of you, no enemies, no sounds, not even a treasure chest!

　　Just as you were wondering, when your patience was reaching its limit, you suddenly saw the back of a person at the end of the forest road ahead.

　　You were shocked for a moment, rubbing your eyes for fear that you might be mistaken, only to be sure that there is indeed a figure wriggling there.

　　It's so suspicious, there are still people appearing in this kind of place, who could it be?

　　You are wary, worried that it may be a monster disguised as a human, and it is never a good idea to approach rashly. But your curiosity was too strong, so you raised the rake and walked cautiously along the trunk.

　　The other party still seemed to be unmoved, you frowned slightly, and continued to approach, in case this guy jumped up and attacked you, you would give him a rake on the spot.

　　"Well... what the hell is going on."

　　The other party suddenly made a sound, and saw him scratching his head from behind, as if he was distressed.

　　You walked over cautiously, but what you didn't expect to see was a man in a lavender striped plaid suit. He squatted on the ground with one knee, and was concentrating on observing something with a magnifying glass.

　　This outfit is too coquettish... You thought to yourself, then cautiously stepped forward, tapped his head with a rake, and asked, "Well, what are you doing here?"

　　By the way, who is this person?

　　"...Um?"

　　The man stopped what he was doing, turned around slowly, and looked up at you.

　　...…beautiful! !

　　You are slightly surprised that the young man in front of you has a beautiful face that doesn't match the personality of the whole world. His beautiful blond hair is shining, and it seems that his whole body exudes a shining aura. When he saw you, he smiled almost immediately: "Ah, are you a candidate for this period hunter? Are you lost?"

　　"Eh? Yes...but who are you? What are you doing here?"

　　You looked at the young man's face in doubt. Although you haven't watched Hunter for a long time, you don't remember such a person appearing in the original novel. After all, since Yoshihiro Tomiga became famous as the demon fox Kurama in "Yu Yu Hakusho", you How many years has it been since I saw him draw a beautiful boy/youth (the three most popular among hunters don't count for you, you really don't think oil paint clowns, big backed heads and dead fish eyes are so handsome, all of them are weird…), so you suspect that he is a task NPC that comes with the game.

　　"Ah, I'm investigating why all the beasts in the Black Gem Forest have disappeared." The young man in a suit smiled with slightly curved eyes, and you suddenly found that his smile was not so comfortable.

　　He took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to you with a serious smile.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Pariston, the vice president of the Hunter Association, please take care of me~."
