Chapter Twenty-six

　You played poker with Hisoka with complicated emotions, but you didn't win a game. Hisoka seemed to enjoy it, and the atmosphere would suddenly become tense from time to time, but he seemed to be enjoying the fun.　

　　Not long after, you suddenly heard a commotion and noise from the deck. You were startled, and subconsciously looked up at the source of the sound.

　　"What happened?"

　　Several candidates rubbed their sleepy eyes and opened the door from the room in disheveled clothes. Hisoka stopped playing cards, and you breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it could finally be over.

　　"The old couple...they ran away!!"

　　The lights on the ship flicked on, and the commotion on the deck was getting bigger and bigger, you quickly put down the poker in your hand, and said to Hisoka with a guilty conscience: "That's the end of it, let's play again when you have a chance. "Then mixed into the examinee group, and rushed to the other deck with everyone.

　　"uh-huh?"

　　Hisoka snorted with a sly smile. Even if he didn't turn his head, you could still feel his gaze staring at the back of your head, making you feel hairy, so you quickened your pace and wanted to escape, when suddenly you heard a notification sound from the system: Hisoka Favorability +15.

　　Your body suddenly trembled for no reason, and you only felt a chill run down your spine.

　　Help... who wants Hisoka's favor...

　 You rushed to the place where the examinees gathered, and at the same time, you finally lost sight of Hisoka from behind. The sea breeze is a little strong, and you find that the candidates on the deck are staring at the sky in horror, and an airship that does not know when it will rise is slowly moving away from your ship.

　　The old man and his wife disappeared.

　　Until noon the next day, the manager and his wife did not appear again. You and the rest of the candidates are sitting aimlessly on the deck, staring at the rising sun and sweating in a daze.

　　After checking the reservoir, it was found that the remaining water source was not enough to last for two days, and all the treasures you found were abandoned in the warehouse and were not taken away. No one knew the reason for the disappearance of the old couple.

　　A candidate suggested "maybe this is part of the hunter exam too", and you were noncommittal. But if you have read the original comics, you have no impression of this plot, and you can only resign yourself to the development of fate.

　　Later, the opinions of the examinees were divided. Some people thought that they should not continue to sit still, and decided to go to Gunkanjima to find out based on the remaining clues. You sneak a glance at Gon, but Gon doesn't say anything, so you decide to stay. As long as you follow the protagonist of the original book, everything will be fine.

　　A long time passed.

　　Although the candidates who stayed around said that they started to get busy, the situation still didn't seem to make any progress. At the same time, Kurapika brought you a bad news: Gunkanjima used to be a fortress, and the ship you are currently on was once used as a battleship. It was in use, but it was abandoned, along with the fort, ten years ago before an unprecedented tsunami event.

　　Of course, these are not the point, the point is: that catastrophic tsunami cycle is once in ten years, according to the calculation of the clever little prodigy Kurapika, the next tsunami is coming, and the arrival time will be tomorrow night...

　　"My God - what should we do then? Are we just sitting there waiting to die?!"

　　The examinees were in a panic when they heard the words, and they were all at a loss, but Kurapika had another idea. He told you the escape method he thought of. I learned that he meant to find the guns of the warship to shoot at the rocks on the opposite bank, so as to keep the hull stable in the rapids.

　　...He was serious, no kidding.

　　After listening to it, you start to question whether the IQ of Kurapika who came up with this idea is really higher than yours. What's more terrible is that everyone thinks it's reasonable. Hanzo and him serve as captain and commander-in-chief for the time being. As long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties together.

　　...It doesn't sound like an ordinary flicker, and its rationality is open to question.

　　This must be the original plot of the animation, you think.

　　You have been assigned the task of investigating the ship's engine. You learned from Kurapika that they tried to start the ship once before, but the propeller seemed to be blocked by something and couldn't turn at all, so this task is I handed you Carrot Potato.

　　Although very reluctant, but the plot task must be done. You guessed that the boat had been idle for too long, and the propeller was entangled in aquatic plants or plankton, so naturally it couldn't move. You don't have maintenance skills,You believe the system can't come up with such an idea to make trouble for you, so if there is no problem with the engine, just clean it up. But you also have no experience in housework. After thinking about it for a long time, you decided to find cleaning supplies first.

　After entering the old couple's room, they rummaged through it, even under the bed. The old couple really took both of their luggage away without leaving any clues. However, you found a pair of red underwear under the pillow...

　　Why is there this?

　　You suspiciously stepped forward to pick up the underwear, and chose to investigate.

　　System prompt: red underwear, immediately have the charm of an adult after wearing it; charm +15.

　　You froze for a second, then threw your underwear behind you like an electric shock, and instantly thought of something very horrifying.

　　Could it be left by the old woman...

　　No... stop it! It's terrifying when you think about it...

　　You force yourself to stop bad associations, but suddenly there is a "click click" sound behind you, your body froze, you subconsciously turned your head away, and your whole body instantly petrified.

　　Nailhead... No, the normal illumi in black and straight was standing in front of the door, staring at the front with a numb face.

　　He doesn't seem to care about anything, or doesn't notice anything, including the pair of red underwear that you threw out just now and are falling on his head.

　　"..."

　　......

　　ah... ah ah... ah...

　　Your mouth opens into an O shape, your tongue becomes tangled, and you can't speak beyond basic vocalizations.

　　Help... why illumi is here! And it's still in the normal form with the nail removed!

　　I don't know if he really didn't notice it or didn't care, but ilumi is looking sideways at you, and his gaze falls somewhere outside the door.

　　You feel a "boom" in your head, and you don't know how to react.

　　Just smile... just smile... no!

　　Gotta take the red panties off before he finds out! You thought in horror, and would rather believe that it was just a delayed system response, and Ilmi hasn't responded yet——

　　So without any hesitation, you quickly approached illumi on tiptoe, the bright red underwear was still hanging on his black hair very festively. illumi is a dead fish eye, you will never be able to read any useful information from his empty eyes, you still believe that he has not noticed anything, and you are about to put your hand on the underwear on his head when illumi suddenly Turning around suddenly, staring at you motionlessly with round, dead fish eyes.

　　"Wow--!!"

　　You let out a scream and took a few steps back in shock.

　　"What are you doing?"

　　illumi stares at you blankly, as the eldest son of the killer family, perhaps he is unmatched in hiding emotions, because you really can't read any information on his paralyzed face.

　　"No... nothing..."

　　You shook your head in panic, why did he suddenly react! How should this situation be handled? There is no prompt from the system, you are sweating all over, and you dare not look at Irmi directly, not only because of guilty conscience, but he is too shining now...

　　What to do, the chance of winning in a fight is very low. Who knows how strong illumi is in the hunter test. It's better to avoid the fight if possible. You don't want to take the risk of being killed and go back to the save file of the base tower ... Do that plot again and you will collapse!

　　The more you think about it, the more disturbed you feel, completely immersed in the depressing aura gushing out of you, illumi standing in front of you remains motionless, always looking at you expressionlessly.

　　"oh."

　　Just when you were so nervous that your heart was about to jump out of your throat, illumi suddenly let out a flat "oh", without any emotional ups and downs.

　　...oh.

　　oh...?

　　oh.

　　... oh shit!

　　You didn't know whether you should cry or laugh, and you were nervous for a long time, assuming countless terrible things that might happen, but illumi was completely indifferent. He didn't seem to care, or didn't take you seriously at all, and moved his gaze back to the direction he was looking at earlier.

　　The uneasiness in your heart subsided a little, but you became more and more curious, what exactly is illumi looking at?

　　And he used nails to hide himself in the hunter exam, you remember that he didn't even remove the nails when he was sleeping with him... What is the reason for him to expose himself?

It's a puzzle worth exploring, and what could be more interesting than the fact that the red panties are still hanging from his head?
