autumn sunshine

I leaned on the sofa, facing the window, through the glass I saw a bright starlight.Xiaojie and Qiya went to explore on the airship. Their energy is really enviable. Kulabica and Leorio are in the lounge. When I came out, I just saw Leorio and Dongba arguing about this. .I told Kulabica that I wanted to go get a drink and left.I admit that a large part of the reason I want to leave is because of that clown Hisoka.The way he looks at everyone always has the meaning of judgment, the attitude of a judge, which makes me a little uncomfortable, not to mention that I can't beat him at all, and he is letting water even escape.

I was drinking hot lava tea, wondering what I would face in the next exam, and thinking that Mitt might have already prepared a delicious dinner at this time, wondering if my mother-in-law and her would feel lonely.Loneliness is for sure...

Thinking of Mitt's dinner, I was really hungry.I called the waiter, ordered a steak, and started to eat it. It tasted good, but not as good as the spider eggs I picked before.

When I got on the airship, I seemed to see that the beauty hunter was also on the airship. After thinking about it, I found the service staff of the airship and asked where the room of the gourmet hunter named Menqi was.The service staff kindly told me, and I followed his guidance to find Menqi.

Actually, I want to borrow the bathroom in her room.Only the examiner has a separate room on the airship, and the candidates can only rest in the common lounge.

Men Qi agreed to me unexpectedly and heartily. It just so happened that she had already finished taking a shower, so she generously gave up the bathroom to me.However, I seemed to hear the voices of Qiya and Xiaojie, I shook my head, I must have been too tired today and had hallucinations.I decided that after taking a hot bath, I must find a quieter place to take a good rest. There is no safer place than this with the leader of the hunter sitting in the town.

The next morning, when I got off the airship, I realized that the airship was actually parked on a huge platform. This platform seemed to be not low in altitude. From a distance, you could see stretches of forests. It is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a forest, because those forests are under our feet.

"Migal, where did you hide yesterday?" Xiaojie ran over happily when he saw me.

"I didn't go there, I found a place to rest." I looked at Xiaojie and blinked.

"Cut~ You can really hide, Xiaojie and I searched the airship but couldn't find you."

I smiled, and didn't answer Qi Ya's words. Xiaojie and I have developed a habit of playing hide-and-seek. We try our best to blend ourselves into the surrounding environment every time, so it takes a lot of effort to find each other every time.

"I said I couldn't find it, Qi Ya, you must believe it."

"Long-winded, let's go, go to the exam."

trap tower.

According to the requirements of the examiner, we need to reach the bottom of the tower within 72 hours, otherwise we will fail the exam.

After seeing someone being captured by a huge man-eating bird when they broke through from the periphery, several of us gave up decisively. Suddenly, I feel that the outside world is really dangerous. Besides people, there are also these animals and even plants that I don’t know.Maybe I need to find some way to make myself stronger, so I won't survive to find Jin at all.

My eyes sank, and my hands unconsciously tightened the backpack on my body.It's too dangerous, and I'm too small.

Concentrating all my emotions, I looked around and found that the number of people around me was gradually decreasing. I thought I should look around to see if there was any entrance leading to the tower.I walked over and was going to tell Xiaojie that the number of them seemed to be decreasing, but before I had time, I stepped on the air, and the heavy stone slab blocked my sight for a moment. I only had time to stabilize my figure and fell into the In the darkness.

"Migal!"

When the darkness eroded my eyes, I heard Xiaojie and the others shouting my name in panic.

Darkness is not a big obstacle for me. I got used to the accident of not seeing light almost at the same time when my eyes were completely immersed in the darkness.

Landing.

From falling to stopping, no more than ten seconds.I counted the time in my mind, it seems that there is only a stone slab between me and Xiaojie.I observed the next four weeks in the dark, no one, no living things, it was an empty room.The sound of sizzling electricity suddenly appeared, and then the brightness in front of my eyes returned.After a while, a voice came from the room.

"Candidate No. 401."

"Examiner?" I looked around, and finally raised my head to find the monitor on the corner of the wall, and I understood it.

"Well, I'm Liber, the chief examiner of the third test. The test question in the room you're staying in now is 'Road of Four'." The examiner didn't give me any time to ask questions, and continued to talk about the requirements of the test, "Four people are needed. Go together, defeat all the targets you see, and reach the finish line alive. Remember that all four must be alive."

After I finished speaking, I closed the microphone, and all I was left with was a dark camera.I looked at the stone door of the only exit in the room, it is now closed, there is a timer on the stone door, showing 71 hours and three minutes.It looks like a countdown display. It’s almost an hour since the exam started, and I still have to wait for four people to calculate the time. Does it start counting the exam time since we got off the airship?Even those who wait to go with them must be counted in the time.Things are a little troublesome. There are too many uncertainties in this kind of probabilistic problem. Maybe someone may not find the secret door of this room.Wait, I saw four watch-like things on the square platform in front of Shimen. I walked over to have a look, then smiled knowingly, took those things quietly, and waited for the rest Three people will definitely appear.

Maybe no one will notice that there is a number engraved on every watch-like thing here, which is very hidden. If it wasn't for the fact that I was standing just because of the light reflected from the camera, I really thought I might have encountered etc. less than human results.

However, I picked up each buckle and looked at it. Sure enough, the numbers engraved on each of them are different. Fortunately, the one I wear is engraved with 42, and the other three are engraved with 41,40, 39 and 42 respectively.Then the answer is obvious. After the last exam, the examiner personally informed that the current number of candidates is [-].

I chose to sit down under the corner of the monitor, closed my eyes quietly, and waited for the remaining three people while recuperating.But I was somewhat worried about Xiaojie and the others, and because he didn't know what he was about to encounter, the examiner Lieber only said to defeat all the targets we saw.So what is the enemy?There is no answer in the prompt, only the target. The target can be a person, an animal, a plant, or even a dead object. It cannot be determined. So this is just for the candidates to refer to?No, or its original intention is to intimidate the examinee's mentality when facing an unknown opponent.So the rest: the road of four, must, all, arrive alive.Combining these analyses, it seems that the purpose of this exam is to test the team spirit and perseverance of the candidates!

After this analysis, my worries about Xiaojie and the others have been greatly reduced. At least I can deny the incident of the candidate being stabbed in the back. Of course, nothing is absolute, I just hope that accidents will not happen.

When the time on the timer showed seventy hours, the stone slab above my head finally moved. Looking at the three people falling at the same time, I thought it was lucky that I chose to sit under the monitor, otherwise I would not be ashamed. , is a person.

The three people who came down were obviously three brothers. I remember that Dongba said it before when he was pretending to be a good person. It seemed that they were called the three brothers of Amory.I glanced at the number plates on their bodies, 197,198,199, [-], [-], which made me more sure that they were the three brothers.

There was not too much communication, and there was no introduction to each other. Because of Hisoka, the candidates seemed to be somewhat wary of each other.I briefly said what the examiner had said before, and then opened the first stone gate with the three of them and went in.Therefore, this watch-like selector is simply a decoration for me, because no matter what I choose, the three of them will choose the final answer.I resolutely gave up the right to choose, and let the three brothers choose.

There will be a person behind every stone door, it seems that the definition of the target should be a person.Among these people, there are strong men and weak women. Their common feature is that they all wear heavy iron chains on their hands and feet. They look like prisoners in custody. I asked the three brothers and they told me This trap tower was originally a ground counter where prisoners were held, and usually heinous prisoners were held.So, after knowing the answer, I became even more worried about Xiaojie and the others.No, I should trust Xiaojie more, he is fine, the people here can beat even me, not to mention Xiaojie who is much more flexible than me, not to mention there is Kulabika and the others.But what if they were all separated?

I can't think about it anymore, if this continues, I may be distracted in the next stone gate, and there must be no accidents. The most important thing for me now is to pass the exam with these three brothers and go to the tower to see if Xiaojie and the others have arrived safely.

When the watch showed that it was the last option, I breathed a sigh of relief and tightened the nerves I had just sent down. This is the last one.

The stone door opened, and there was a boy with black eyes and black hair, who looked much taller than me, about three or four years old, and I noticed that he didn't have those chains on his body.I don't think this kid is a prisoner...

I was about to walk in and take a closer look at the child, when one of the three brothers rushed over with a knife and looked at the child.

"Hey! You're crazy!" Without even thinking about it, I ran forward at an alarming speed and pushed away the three brothers holding the knife, "He's still a child..."

The person who was pushed away was thrown to the wall by me, and all the torches in the room were extinguished.

"What are you doing!" The one who seemed to be the younger brother among the three ran over and yelled at me while calling the eldest brother.

"Are you crazy! Apart from the examinees, there are also death row prisoners. What kind of children are there!"

"But he doesn't have those iron chains on him! He must have made a mistake... Uh!" I closed my mouth in pain, and watched in horror as the child I was protecting behind stuck out a tongue that did not belong to the category of human beings, fiercely The tongue stabbed at my calf, and my body's instinctive reaction saved me, but I was still scratched by the barb on the tongue.

I endured the pain and quickly left the child's side.

At this time, the three brothers also came back, and the younger brother of the three brothers still didn't give me a good face, saying that it was because I let them waste the best attack time.

I didn't speak, and I still haven't reacted to the scene just now. The instinct of my body allows me to avoid danger, but I still haven't accepted it mentally.

"It seems that your weakness is children." The three brothers who were pushed away by me before said, "This is a humanoid phantom beast, which is specially transformed into the form of the prey's lowest defense to attack." After finishing speaking, he glanced at it. My wounds, ignore me no more.

"...Sorry." I said weakly, and that voice was the weakest so far.The three of them ignored me and started organizing new attacks.

However, I couldn't move at all.It's not because of multiple physical injuries, but psychologically, I can no longer fight. The humanoid phantom beast they called is no one else, it is exactly what my son looks like in my memory.
