As the saying goes: "Three people know, but the secret cannot be kept."

What's more, the ones who knew the secret of nigiri sushi this time were all 144 people present who passed the first test. Ms. Men Qi's tasting tour finally officially kicked off, but her pickiness has also risen sharply to the extent visible to the naked eye. .

Hisoka, who was not busy making nigiri sushi, leaned on the cooking table and asked a little lazily, "Didn't you hear how to nigiri sushi?"

"Understood," I shrugged, and said honestly, "It's just that I think Miss Menqi seems a little flustered. Her requirements for this sushi are far beyond the scope of the exam. I don't have the confidence to compare with those who were rejected. Candidates who lose make better nigiri sushi, so just wait and see."

Hisoka's signature ghostly smile was still on his face, but it was rare to hear a compliment from his mouth that belonged to the category of normal people: "Hmph ~ wise judgment, smart choice."

The Yier fans on the side "clicked" in response to the situation, and they didn't know whether he was in agreement or simply flattering.

I suddenly became a little worried, one of these two guys is perverted and the other is weird, and am I also a strange person in the eyes of others when I get mixed up between them?

I hope not.

This farce-like exam did not end until President Nitero came in person. After admitting her mistake, Ms. Menqi temporarily changed the exam topic. I don’t know what others think, anyway, in my opinion Making poached eggs is a lot easier than making sushi dishes.

The second exam ended with laughter and laughter enjoying delicious boiled eggs, and the number of people who passed the exam was 42.

Ms. Men Qi said that she won’t arrive at the location of the third exam until eight o’clock in the morning the next day, so from now on the airship is free time. The two energetic children, Qiya and Xiaojie, jumped over I asked me if I would like to go on an adventure with them on the airship, I smiled and declined.

Qi Ya sized me up with his hands in his pockets, and said mockingly, "Linsha, you must be getting old, right?"

I:"……"

If the person who dared to say this was Sa Xia, I would definitely let him know why the flowers are so popular without hesitation.

I recited "Impulse is the devil" three times in my heart, I let go of my right hand that had automatically clenched into a fist and waved at them, smiling: "Be careful."

Xiaojie, who was pea-eyed throughout the whole process, quickly covered the mouth of Qi Ya, who was about to say something, and dragged him away directly: "Stop saying a few words, Qi Ya! Sister Linsha has such a good personality, I think she just said something. I can't help but want to beat you up!"

I:"……"

Is the anger I just showed so obvious?

Because I didn't know Kurapika and Leori very well, I greeted them politely and then went to find Ilmi, who sat there motionless like an old monk in meditation after finding a corner.

As soon as I sat down next to him, I saw his head turned backwards in a big circle and turned towards me while maintaining a sedated posture. This movement, which ordinary people can't do at all, coupled with that horrifying face I was shocked: "Why, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing," he replied after a half-beat slow reaction, "I fell asleep just now."

"...Your instant sleep skills are really admirable."

Before I recovered from the fright, I complimented him dryly before saying, "I thought you would stay with Mr. Hisoka."

"Why should I stay with him?"

"Because I felt that the relationship between you two was very good when we were in the Sky Arena," I said cautiously, "Isn't that the case?"

Yi Ermi tilted his head and said: "He is very rich and a very generous employer. I am very satisfied. Is this considered a relationship?"

"...Forget it?"

To be honest, I don't even know if I have violated my conscience when I said these words without confidence.

Yi Ermi asked: "Speaking of which, why did you come to take the hunter exam?"

I thought there was nothing to hide about this, so I told him the truth, but he suggested, "Why don't you quit the exam now?"

After spending so long with the two money pickers, I have more or less figured out their brain circuit: "Then pay for your license later, right?"

"That's right, since you have passed the third exam, I can give you an additional discount on top of the [-] percent discount."

"……No thanks."

Although he made a disguise, I can imagine his dissatisfaction under this disguise at the moment: "This is already the greatest discount."

I can't laugh or cry, it's not about discounts, brother, why do I feel that I didn't come to take the hunter exam, but met a clerk who was selling products?

Maybe it was because I stayed beside Yiermi, who is a master of mind ability, I unconsciously let down my vigilance, and fell asleep before I knew it, and when I woke up again, there was no sign of Yiermi around me. The body is covered with a nail vest with his punk style.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. We are about to arrive at our destination. Candidates, please get ready to get off the boat..."

I stretched my waist, moved my body, and walked towards the door with Ilmi's clothes on.

When I got off the airship, I found that Qi Ya and his group, including President Nitero and a girl they didn't know, seemed to be chatting about something.

As soon as I walked over to say hello, I saw Qi Ya return an earring to the girl and said, "That's the crystallization of Laxiang Mountain ore, isn't it?"

Spicy Fragrant Mountain Ore?I have heard a little bit that my father gave me a gift made of this kind of ore before, but he once told me that this kind of refined spicy Xiangshan ore will be addictive as long as you taste it once. This thing doesn't hesitate to go bankrupt, but it's okay to watch it occasionally in your spare time.

When the girl heard that her father was actually infected with this kind of drug, she broke down in disbelief, and said with tears in her eyes: "My father is a very kind and amiable person, and people around him always have Smile……"

She seemed to be unable to continue, but these words sounded familiar to me, and my father's smile appeared involuntarily in front of my eyes, and the guests who came to my house to discuss business issues with my father before were all smiling like this .

I heard Qi Ya say calmly: "In fact, your happiness is built on those unfortunate people."

After that, he turned and left.

The girl knelt down and wailed, but I stood still and couldn't move.

The knight said, Elisa and I are obviously sisters, but our fates are completely different. Haven't I ever felt the slightest bit of heartache for her?

Il fans said that the Ochilet family hired the Loy family's killers to kill my family.

Rooney said the Nistolas were a cursed family.

But my father, without telling me anything, used my ability to create so-called "Holy Water" to achieve his purpose.

Could it be that my happiness when I was a young lady was also built on some unfortunate people?

I thought about my past annual charitable donations, and suddenly felt extremely ironic.

"Sister Linsha, what's wrong with you?" Xiaojie asked worriedly, "Your complexion is very bad."

Kurapika and Leorio also cast caring gazes, and I managed to force a smile: "I'm fine, maybe I just got low blood sugar after waking up."

It may be that the professional smile I have practiced in the past four years is too perfect. After hearing this, they are relieved that there is no doubt about him.

After listening to Dou Mianren explain the content of the third exam, I found Yi Erfan and returned the vest to him: "Xiao Yi..."

He cast a look.

I opened my mouth, shook my head, but couldn't say anything, the most important thing is to pass the hunter exam right now, those sad thoughts should wait until I know what the "curse of Stola's family" is before I have a headache.

With the passage of time, more and more candidates found the secret passage and left, and I was in a trance, so I finally found a brick that seemed to be a secret passage, and I heard Qi Ya shouting from a distance: "Hey ! Come here quickly!"

Although he didn't name him, I felt that he was calling me. He hesitated and glanced at the bricks under my feet, but I got up and walked over there.

After counting the number of bricks, it was just enough for all five of us to pass. After deciding the order by guessing, I jumped down the secret passage that belonged to me together with them.

On the way down, I heard the sound of the secret passage being locked, and the moment I landed, the lights were brightly lit. I squinted my eyes in discomfort, but I heard Kurapika laughing, "Unexpectedly, the time we separated is really short."

Leorio seemed to feel helpless about the superfluous finger-guessing just now: "Really."

The sharp-eyed Xiaojie saw the rules of this "majority road" on the wall. After the few of us put on the bracelets of the judging device, the iron gate representing the exam road slowly opened.

Because everyone is acquaintances, the atmosphere along the way can be regarded as harmonious. After a few small trials, we came to a place similar to a duel in a martial arts arena.

Five people wearing masked cloaks came out one after another, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, took off the cloak after uncuffing the handcuffs, and said: "We are specially hired testers for the hunter experiment. If you want to pass here, just You have to fight against the five of us. The competition is one-on-one. Each person can only play once. One up, who do you want to come out?"

After speaking, the four of Xiaojie and the others formed a circle to discuss tactics, as if considering that I was a girl, they did not intend to let me participate in such a dangerous competition.

I sighed, took a step forward and shouted to the opposite side: "The first game is up to me!"

"Wait, wait!" Leo Li pulled me back, as if he was a little angry at my self-assertion, "Linsha, what are you doing?! You said it's up to the four of us." Yes! It’s not that I look down on you as a girl, it’s just that that guy looks like a martial artist, so he doesn’t know how to be sympathetic, if you’re not careful…”

I blinked innocently, pointed to the side, and said, "Well, sorry, the bridge is already connected."

Leorio: "..."

When the two sides stood still, the bald man said: "I suggest adopting a life-and-death struggle. The game will not be over until one person admits defeat or dies. How about it? Beauty, you still have a chance to go back on your word."

I have observed that this bald man has no telekinetic ability, he is just an ordinary man with outstanding strength and a burly figure. He seems to be extremely confident in his fighting skills, but I am still sure about victory.

I was about to open my mouth to agree, but I heard Leorie say first: "Wait, wait! Let's admit defeat in the first match!"

I was taken aback, and turned back with some dissatisfaction: "I am the one in this competition, so the decision should be in my hands?"

But Leorio seemed to have made up his mind, and he said firmly to the surveillance camera: "Master Examiner, we admit defeat in the first match, but the contestants disagree, can we decide by majority vote?"

Lieber examiner's voice sounded at the right time: "Yes, those who agree to admit defeat, please click the circle, and those who disagree, please press the cross."

Three laps and two forks, the first game was lost without a fight.

I walked back from the bridge very depressed, and I heard Leo force ask: "Who is the other person who pressed the cross?"

Qi Ya raised his hand: "Me."

"You kid, do you really want to push Linsa into the fire pit?!"

Qi Ya shrugged and said: "Actually, she is not as weak as you think, forget it, anyway, as long as we all win in the future, it will be fine."

Kurapika looked at me apologetically, and said, "We decided on our own to make you admit defeat, I hope you don't mind, Linsa."

I know that Leorio and the others forcibly conceded the game out of fear of my injury, so I didn't complain too much. After shaking my head with a smile, I quietly stood aside and watched the next development of the game.

Xiaojie won the second game easily. This kid has a smart mind and enough courage and luck. The tricks of the fraudster really can't hinder his road to victory.

In the third game, we played Kurapika. The other prisoner named Chahu had an ugly face that seemed to have failed plastic surgery. He showed off his well-developed chest muscles and his chest, which is known as "every kill" One person leaves a mark" nineteen hearts.

I couldn't help but yawned a little bored because I couldn't feel any sense ability from him. He was just a paper tiger at best. If there were no accidents in this match, Kurapika should win.

But the accident came unexpectedly.

After Kurapika avoided Chahu's powerful punch that broke the floor, he saw this guy showing off the spider tattoo on his back again as if showing off.

My pupils shrank violently, and I couldn't help shivering.

It can be said that this pattern has been imprinted in my mind. Four years ago, on the day when the knight took my body, I clearly remembered that there was such a pattern on his back, but at that time in this There is still a bloody red number in the center of the tattoo, why this guy...

Leorio said in surprise, "That's the imprint of the members of the Phantom Troupe, a group that killed all the Kurapika tribe."

I looked over abruptly and asked, "You said that the Phantom Troupe killed all of Kurapika's people?"

"That's right, it was the Phantom Brigade, the notorious murder group in the world, who did it. I didn't expect this guy to be a member of the Phantom Brigade."

For a moment, my mood was complicated and indescribable.

On the one hand, there is a sense of sympathy for Kurapika who also suffered from the disaster, and on the other hand, he did not expect to hear about the Phantom Troupe during the hunter exam.

I shook my head, and shook off the smiling face of the chivalrous man who unconsciously appeared in front of me, and said, "That tiger, he is not a member of the Phantom Troupe."

That day, when the chivalrous man took me back to Niestola's house, he smiled nonchalantly at the bloody corpses on the ground. They killed too many people, so how could they put in as much effort as Chahu? to count the heads he had killed.

Even if the knight is just a stranger who has nothing to do with me now, even if the knight is a murderous demon in other people's mouths, but in the end, I still don't want to hear others associate people like Chahu with him .

That is, an insult to the Phantom Troupe.

The author has something to say:
