on the sidelines

As expected, senior brother Nikel appeared in Yungu's house on time, and Lina heard Nikel's characteristic loud voice at the entrance, and it seemed that she and Yungu had a good chat.Tightening the things in her arms, Lina looked up at the sky dyed red by the setting sun sadly, silent. [It's still very early, why don't you go back to the arena and come back at night. 】

Since Lina reached the 100th floor and got her own room, she moved out of Yungu's residence and lived alone.

Backing away, a certain woman subconsciously backed away in a gentle call, backed up her steps, cracking every inch of her body, "Why don't you come in when Lina is here, Nekel and the others are here to see you."

Staring at the ground, Lina found that the kind-faced and kind-hearted Yun Gu definitely has the potential to be dark-bellied, and his usual kindness and confusion are just a disguise to make people relax their vigilance.

After the words fell, a man in white with a 90s gangster hair rushed out of the room and yelled at Lina, "It's only been a few days since I've been out, have you got more courage? How dare you hang up on my phone? Why don't you answer my text messages? How dare you hang up on me?" Change your phone number? In the end, you still want to run away?!"

Before Nikel caught Lena's thin body and shook it violently, a pink basket brushed all of Nikel's sights, a thin puppy was sticking out its tongue in the basket, and kept posing short and short to Nikel. His fluffy tail and black glass-like transparent eyes reflect his shadow, showing every detail.

Lina adjusted her mentality, raised her head, looked at Nekel with watery eyes, and said pitifully, "The dog I picked up on the road felt very pitiful, so I brought it to my brother."

"Hey, you really are, how can you pick up pets randomly." Unable to see it, the puppy looked at him beggingly, wagging its tail violently, Nekel lifted the basket, knelt down and teased the puppy to play at the door.

Seeing Nekel who stopped asking, Lina let out a long breath.

Xiu Te, who followed afterward, watched this scene and sighed silently, jumping into such an obvious trap, when will Nekel's character of not caring about stray animals when he hears it, change. "Lena, come in first."

In the living room, Nekel and the puppies are having fun, and the conversation between Lena and Shutter is also going on normally.

"Are you used to living alone?"

"Well, it's okay. Every day is quite fulfilling, and the strength has improved rapidly, especially in battle. By the way, what is the mission of the brother coming out this time, do you want my help?"

"That's not necessary, we can handle it."

"Shoot and Nekel are already hunters, don't underestimate them." Yun Gu, who brought out the fruit juice, dropped the explosive news, but did not wait for the expected reaction.

"Well, it should be, it should have been a hunter a long time ago." Lina replied indifferently, with a natural expression.

"Ahem!" Looking at the two people who were calmly discussing themselves without blushing, the person concerned blushed, "Don't talk about me, this time I'm here mainly to see you, although the master didn't say anything, I still miss you very much of."

"Well, I know." Lena looked at the glass in her hand with a smile in her eyes. "I always knew that, so I couldn't go back."

[When I go back, I never want to leave again. 】

Seeing the real Lena who had removed her disguise, Xiu nodded, "I understand, please be careful."

Yungu kindly canceled tonight's training, and chatted with the seniors for a long time. In order to ensure the physical strength of the next day's 200-story advanced competition, under the pressure of Nekel, Lina stayed in the room Yungu originally prepared for her. In the morning of the next day, Nekel and Xiu Te left in a hurry without saying hello.

During the match, the depressed Lina vented her dissatisfaction on her opponent. This was the longest TKO since Lina participated in the competition, and it was also the match with the highest voice from the audience. Unfortunately, Lina unknowingly moved towards the direction of BT step.

Climbing to the 200th floor, Lena embarks on a brand new game. Players on the 200th floor can change their name once, so Lena used this right as soon as she logged in, and changed her name to Ken, hoping that he would come to find her when he heard the news.

After listening to the long and provocative introduction by the lady at the landing office, Lina remained silent, took the room card silently, ignored the weeping woman, turned and left.Walking through the long and narrow corridor, ignoring the so-called rookie killer at the corner, and passing the three men with malicious intentions, he released even more malicious thoughts in return for them.Walk unimpeded all the way to the room, insert the card, open the door...? !

"Hmm~? I told you I wouldn't let you leave so easily~?"

Instinctively leaping back to avoid the attack, Lina looked at the playing cards embedded in the metal on the doorknob, and her brain activated instantly.Si... Hiso? !

Lina's cat eyes looked at BT who was leaning against the wall behind him, staring at the flipped spades in his hand, not knowing when she provoked him.

"Hmm~?" Hisoka squinted his eyes, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes stretched out in a strange arc, throwing an electric eye, "Little fruit is not afraid of me?"

"..."【Normal people will be scared when they see you. ] Lina turned her face away from the severely deformed face full of white powder... well, it's not bad, she calmly used [Zhou] to pull out the poker, threw it on the ground, and calmly pushed the door in, "Bang" He slammed the door shut, leaving Hisoka outside.

For a person like Hisoka who is unpredictable and likes to stalk, Lina does not want to have too close acquaintances, and her positioning of life does not intend to deviate from the goal of "being happy" for the time being.

"Oh hehehe~ The little fruit is getting more and more delicious~? Hehehehe~" Hisoka stared at the closed door, his scarlet tongue slowly licked his lips, and the poker suit in his hand turned into a weird clown.

There was sharp laughter outside the screened door, and Lena sat on the soft bed and watched the live broadcast of the fighting arena on the TV that was never turned off.

Lina found that the angles of the live broadcast are all visually impactful images that the audience would like to see, but the details of the battle are not complete. To achieve an intuitive feeling, it is necessary to get a live experience.

At the end of the game, the screen returns to a blue screen.Lina changed her clothes, cast [Circle], and slipped away after confirming that Hisoka was not there outside the door.

Yungu's residence, after learning that Lina had landed on the 200th floor, Yungu interrupted Zhixi's practice and began to teach a new course.

"Lena, congratulations on landing on the 200th floor! Although you easily won the game this time, I still want to solemnly remind you that the battle on the 200th floor is completely different from your previous battles. The way of the next battle will be different. Any qualitative change will be a battle of reads, so you must take special training with me during the [-]-day preparation time until I think you have mastered the skills of using reads proficiently and reached the basics of participating in the competition. Before asking, you are not allowed to register for the game without permission." Yun Gu looked at Lina sternly, and emphasized again in an orderly manner, "Remember, without my consent, you are not allowed to register for the game."

"Yes, uncle." Lina nodded obediently.

Yun Gu tapped his jaw and turned to Zhixi, the backlit lenses covered the deep thought in his eyes, "During Lina's special training, you just listened from the sidelines."

"Yes, Master!"

"Lena, use [Jian], let me see the effect of your recent training."

The smooth [Jian] wrapped Lina, and the density of the aura was more viscous than ever.

"Okay, use [hard] next."

Concentrate the aura of the whole body on the right fist, and spray it around the right fist in a radial pattern.

"Lena, use [Refining] first, which can improve the effect of [Hard], try again."

"Okay, Brother Nian must have told you." With Lina's affirmation, Yun Gu continued, "Show what you have mastered first, and start with the changes."

"? Uncle, the master only talked about the theory and how to use it. I didn't receive any guidance before I went to Meteor Street."

"Well, I understand, then, let's start with the release system today." Yun Gu raised his index finger, and a sphere with a diameter of 2 cm floated out from the fingertip. With the flick of the finger, the sphere floated in a straight line at a constant speed To Lina, the "pa" burst when it touched Lina's [Jian]. Lina took a step back, and the soles of her feet cracked the thick oak floor.

"This is to release the aura in the body. The aura just released is enough to destroy the wall as a whole. Watch me demonstrate carefully, first use [refining] to increase the strength of the aura, and then use [wrap] to wrap the aura, The duration and intensity of the sphere's existence is directly proportional to the intensity of the individual [wrapping], and finally through control, it attacks the target."

Following Yun Gu's narration, a sphere slowly formed on the fingertips again, and shot towards the wall at a uniform speed. After touching it, there was a loud noise, and a huge hole for one person opened up the living room and bedroom.Looking back, Yun Gu looked at the calm Lina and said, "Try it."

"Yes." Meditate on the method Yun Gu just described, improve the aura of the fingertips through [practice], wrap the sphere with [wrap] and slowly suspend the aura on the fingertips, look at the floating sphere with [condensed] eyes, In the next second, the sphere... exploded with a "pop" and dissipated in the air.

"According to your current [wrapping] strength, the out-of-body aura can be suspended outside the body for a few days. Now we need to improve proficiency and shorten the release time. Zhixi continues to practice [wrapping], and Lina practices the release of gas."

"Yes."

"Yes!"

All night, Lina kept releasing her aura. During the highly concentrated practice, with her keen senses, before she left, Lina's release speed finally reached Yun Gu's basic requirements.

On the way back, while walking on the dim bluestone road, Lina raised her index finger and at the same time a suspended sphere appeared in mid-air. Tapping the sphere, it made a crisp cracking sound and then dissipated quickly. It was more than one step faster when practicing with Yun Gu. grade.

"It should be like this, it's surprisingly simple." Lina murmured happily.

Back in the Sky Arena, Lina came to the registration office and took away a recent match schedule for the 200th-floor players. The words of the player Hisoka jumped into the eyes, moved his eyes to the bottom, and said softly, "Competition player Custer Luo."

? !Is it the strengthened player who was able to score three points under Hisoka, and died in the arena for revenge?This one will be a good game.Lina bought three admission tickets from Miss Landing with the privilege, and walked back to the room satisfied.

Entering the room, he took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, picked up the towel and walked to the bathroom. Without warning, a poker was inserted into the floor in the direction he was going, stopping Lina's pace.

poker, see also poker.Lena is no longer surprised by Hisoka's ubiquitous appearance. Even if she told Lena Hisoka used "flexible love" and used a spider-man climbing wall to turn in from the window on the 200th floor, Lena would Believe without hesitation.For a BT like Hisoka who can't reason with normal people's thinking, Lina can understand no matter what extraordinary things he does.

Turning her head to look at Hisoka sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lina's cat eyes stared straight at the uninvited man. The white camisole on her body reflected the neon light outside the window, constantly changing colors.

"Oh, Xiaoguo came back so late, where did he go to play~?" Hisoka raised his right knee, supported his chin with one hand, and the sharp fingertips reflected the faint cold light.

"Who are you? What can I do for you?" Lena put a towel over her shoulders and asked politely with a smile on her face.

"Hmph, Xiaoguo is so indifferent~? How come you don't know my identity, huh~?" There are only a few players on the 200th floor. As the existence of the top, it is inevitable for the lower-level players (normal people) to understand them things.

"Okay, Player Hisoka, what's the matter with you breaking into my room without permission?" Lina tore off the hair tie, her soft hair scattered, casually draped over her shoulders, and rubbed her forehead wearily.The practice in the afternoon made Lina's body very tired, and she really didn't have the energy to cope with the changing emotions.

"Little fruit hasn't answered my question yet~?"

"...Someone instructed me to [read], the question is answered, can you leave?" Lina felt powerless when she noticed the cards ready to be dealt at Hisoka's fingertips.

"Oh, that sounds interesting~ Want me to guide you?"

"..." [I found someone to guide me to read it, Hisoka, did you not hear it clearly or did you not plan to hear it at all? ] Lina stared at the splendid lights in the city outside the window speechlessly, ignoring a certain man.

"Little fruit, what's my proposal?" Hisoka smiled and asked the silent Lina again, but the malicious thoughts wrapped around the exhausted Lina, "I will do my best. the ~"

Hisoka's reaction made Lina frown. In her memory, Hisoka shouldn't be a person who likes to ask for trouble. This can be seen from the fact that he cares about little Jackie, but still just observes, let them grow by themselves, occasionally For the sake of interest, it can be seen.In this situation, is it because he was too idle in the early days or too boring recently?Reluctantly, Lina had to agree to Hisoka's proposal, and she would definitely be physically and mentally exhausted if it dragged on like this. "I can agree, but you have to meet my conditions."

"Hmm~??"

"First, don't let the man who appeared in the restaurant that day know that you are guiding me."

"Okay~?"

"Second, you should be in the Department of Transformation, so I will only study the Department of Transformation with you."

"Okay~?"

"Third, I will fight you in the first battle, and you must lose without fighting."

"Huh? This is not okay~?"

"Don't rush to refuse, Hisoka. If my first battle is against others, I will definitely be injured if I am inexperienced. This will definitely delay practice, and if you lose without fighting, then I have 180 days to prepare. I, who has grown rapidly in a period of time, will definitely not be as embarrassed as I was in 90 days. Compared with the former, what you look forward to is the pleasure that the rapidly grown me will bring you in battle, right?"

"Yeah~? That's right, I agree~?"

"Finally, you can't kill me until I'm truly 'mature'." Leaving a catch-all clause, Lina won a life-saving talisman for her own life.

"Okay~ Then, start looking for me at 2204 tomorrow~? Little fruit~" Hisoka left the arena ticket floating in the air, Hisoka walked out of the room generously, and the moment the door was closed, he said something that made Lina tense "If I didn't really know that you are only 8 years old, I would have thought you were a master of the transformation department~hehehe~?"

Hisoka's words made Lena freeze for a long time. If Hisoka could feel the difference in her, what about the others?It's useless to think too much, throwing Hisoka's words out of her mind, Lina picked up the ticket and walked into the bathroom, the sound of rushing water filled the silent room.

In the early morning of the next day, after the [wrapping] practice, Lina pushed open the wooden door of Hisoka's room. The door was not locked, and then Lina was stunned by the **** in front of her eyes.Hisoka was standing in front of the window without any clothes on, his wet hair was pressed against his cheeks, and the water droplets dripped along the tip of his hair onto the white towel around his neck, leaving some dark marks. His strong and tight body showed his strength tension.

When Hisoka heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his upper body, and his six-pack abs were suddenly exposed in front of Lina's eyes, "Oh, oh, the little fruit came early~?"

Hisoka didn't care about his nakedness, chatting with Lina as easily as yesterday, showing off his perfect figure intentionally or unintentionally.

In the tones of endless twists and turns, Lina, who was struck by the thunder, regained consciousness, looked at Hisoka's unmakeup face after bathing, ignored the part below the neck, and replied innocently, "Master said that you should be punctual, so I came early. .”

"Hmm!" Hisoka snorted softly, picked up the clown costume on the chair, and put it on as if no one else was there, ignoring Lina.

I don't know why Hisoka is upset, Lina can only keep silent, she can't predict what extraordinary things Hisoka will do next.

"Remember to watch the game in a week's time. I have some things to do recently, so don't come to me for the time being~?"

"Oh." I am very happy.

Then the two separated, and Lina continued to practice reading at Yun Gu's house.Hisoka has since disappeared and was not on the field until the day of the match.

The high-intensity training every day makes the time pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, Hisoka’s match date has arrived, and he bets “Sisso·TKO” and “Castro·Three Points” at the betting office (the more detailed the bet, the more The odds will be higher), still fill in the account of the master, and invest all the funds. If you don't do this, Lina will feel sorry. Such a huge amount of wealth will be too reckless.

Afterwards, Lina and Yun Gu joined together, sat in the seat closest to the fighting arena, and quietly waited for the gorgeous performance of the top fighters in the Hunter World.

The wait was not long. After a short while, Ke Ke's excited voice came through the radio and invited two contestants.Hisoka, who was on the stage, looked around and saw Lina in the spectator seats. He smiled evilly, and the light in his eyes made Lina shake from head to toe inexplicably, as if standing naked/naked/naked in the snow and ice.

"The game begins!" The atmosphere on the field suddenly skyrocketed with this sentence, and the crazy audience burst into deafening cheers.On the other hand, Castro with short blond hair and a handsome face with a gentlemanly smile on the other side of Hisoka won the screams from the ladies present.Lina was not affected by the atmosphere of the scene, she just sat quietly in the auditorium, watching the changes in the field calmly with her eyes.

After the game started, Castro in the fighting arena did not use [Entangle], which is very inconsistent with the fighting style of people with the ability to read.

A novice who has just reached the 200th floor and has not yet been "baptized".This is Lena's verdict on Castro.

During the game, the rhythm of offense and defense of both sides was very tight. You come and go, Castro dodges Hisoka's attack, leaving only shallow scars on his body. When Hisoka's body was first attacked by Castro After Luo attacked, he passed Hisoka's test with excellent performance, and Lena read from Hisoka's facial expression that he was uncontrollably excited after finding a new fruit.

Taking advantage of the fact that Hisoka had no chance to fight back after being hit, Castro took advantage of the situation and quickly punched Hisoka's vital points. With the damage caused by each punch, Hisoka's body bent extremely with the strength. The overly distorted face did not represent his pain, because at this moment Lina felt his pleasure from Hisoka's more intense murderous intent.

With a heavy punch in the abdomen, Hisoka flew out of the field, and Hisoka lowered his head to the referee's questioning, without any response.

"Critical Hit & Down!" The referee gave a three-point judgment, and a new climax/tide was set off in the arena.

This M... Lena suddenly felt a little headache. It turned out that Castro's three-pointer came from this way, and it was indeed in line with Hisoka's usual performance.However, Castro was not seriously injured like the rookie killer trio during the baptism, thanks to Hisoka's mercy.

"Hehehe~? Hehehe~?" Hisoka covered his face with five fingers, and a horrifying laugh overflowed from his fingertips, malicious thoughts wantonly attacked Castro in the field, although Castro couldn't see Thoughts, but he could still feel the piercing chill coming from all around, and the accompanying fear rose from the bottom of his heart. Unable to move, he watched Hisoka stand up and walk towards him, as if a monster was about to devour him, one step at a time He couldn't resist, he didn't even have the courage to move.

Hisoka responded to Castro with a stronger punch, and the hit part was abnormally twisted. According to Lina's visual inspection, the fracture was certain.

"Hmm~ Why are green fruits always so mouth-watering~? I really want to destroy them, but unfortunately I can't~ um~ I can't~? Then I'll help you, don't thank me, um~ Hisoka looked bloodthirsty at the man lying on the ground immobile, and stretched out his palm, which was infinitely enlarged in Castro's sight. The smile on his face was like a devil's smile, with an evilness that did not doubt good intentions.

The moment his palm touched the top of Castro's head, Castro shrank into a ball in pain, a large amount of Qi was quickly drained from his body, and his limbs twitched convulsively.

"Contestant Castro lost his ability to fight, and Hisoka won." Seeing that the situation was wrong, the referee decisively declared the end of the match, and medical staff quickly entered the venue to give first aid to Castro.

Not caring about the referee's judgment, Hisoka reminded the newly discovered green fruit with great interest, "If you don't control the outflow of qi, you will die~?"

He glanced at the twitching man with unsatisfactory intent, turned and left, but the murderous aura around him did not dissipate.

"This is the baptism of 200 floors. Players who don't know how to read will start reading after a brutal fight. Everyone pays a different price. Castro is already in an ideal state." Yun Gu said slightly The voice rang in Lina's ear, "The next step is to start training harder."

"Yes." Lina agreed. Seeing Hisoka's extremely suppressed killing intent, Lina felt that it was definitely a wise choice to stay at Yungu's house tonight. "Master, I won't be returning to the Sky Arena tonight."

"Well, good." Yun Gu looked at the well-behaved and obedient Lina with relief, and his smile was softer.

After practice, Lina was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone, and finally decided to call the master.

"Hello? Lena?"

"Yes, Master."

"Are you still used to living at Yun Gu's place?"

"Master, don't worry. My uncle has taken good care of me. My brothers have visited me a while ago. Everything is fine."

"That's good. I heard that you have landed on the 200th floor. You must be extra careful in future battles. The damage caused by thoughts is more difficult to deal with than the damage caused by weapons." Although she couldn't see the face of the master, Lina still clearly felt the master's strength. care.

"Well, with Uncle Yungu here, I'll be fine. Can you do me a favor, Master?"

"What's the matter? It's related to Meteor Street?"

"Well, I want to ask the master to get me a resident certificate, the name is Ken."

"No problem, send it to Yun Gu in a few days, you can get it from him."

After talking about the main things, Lina and the master chatted about their current situation. During the period, Mo Lao Wu also gave Lina a detailed explanation of the precautions for using the reading to fight. Unknowingly, the sky was pale and he hung up the phone reluctantly. After washing her face, Lina sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced [wrapping] with her eyes closed.

A few days later, Lina got her residence permit as she wished, and returned to her residence in the arena. She turned her gaze to the place where the murderous aura was coming from the wall, [冷], and seeing the pink font and the strange spade pattern, Lina didn't know what to do. Go to 2204 without hesitation.
