[Comprehensive] Every exam must be passed

Chapter 10 Torik Tower × 72 hours

The next day was a fine weather, the sun was just right, and there was no cloud in the blue sky.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, in a corner of the exclusive spaceship of the Hunter Examination and Review Committee, Bilika, Kiya, Kurapika, and Leorio leaned on the bulkhead to rest.

Last night, all 42 candidates who passed Meng Qi's final test boarded the spaceship and were taken by the spaceship to the location of the third test.

After a night of driving, Leori woke up full of energy, and he couldn't stop turning around in the cabin, and finally sat down on his buttocks, shaking his legs impatiently: "Last night, I clearly said that I will arrive at eight o'clock this morning. It's been more than an hour, why not yet?"

Qiya rested his chin and looked at the scenery outside the window: "I'm afraid it was the old man's order."

"Old man?" Leorio realized after a while: "You mean President Nitro?"

Isaac Nitro, the highest person in charge of hunter assessment, is also the president of the Hunter Association.

He looked like an old man with white hair and chicken skin, but when he appeared in the second test venue last night, he jumped directly from the high-altitude spaceship without any protective measures, and landed easily without any injuries.

This appearance alone shocked many people.

Qi Ya looked out the window and yawned a little: "Ah, I played the game of grabbing the ball with the old man for half a night with Xiaojie yesterday. After I left, Xiaojie continued to play, although I didn't know they played How late it is, but Xiaojie probably just fell asleep not long ago. If the old man is prudent, he may order the captain to slow down."

In other words, did President Netero ask everyone, including other candidates and examiners, to postpone the exam for Xiaojie alone?

It sounds unreasonable, but everyone's acceptance of this statement is surprisingly high.Kurapika thought of all the things that had happened since he met Xiaojie, and even said with a gratified smile: "Xiaojie's stubbornness is indeed very touching sometimes." And, if this speculation is true, it seems that Nitro The chairman's character is also quite his own way.

At 09:30, the minute hand was vertically downward, and the voice of the captain finally came from the radio: "Passengers, it has been a long wait, we have arrived at our destination."

"It's over there." Bilika lay in front of the window glass, pointing outside to invite others to come and see. Outside stood a cylindrical tower nearly 500 meters high, with a cross-sectional diameter of more than [-] meters.

The spaceship landed on the top of the cylinder, which was empty.Perhaps because of the height, the wind was so strong that Bilika had to press the hem of the robe back and forth with both hands to prevent it from flying.

The Dou Mian man cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and informed the candidates of the assessment content of the third test: "Our current location is the top of the trap tower. The following words are what the chief examiner wants me to tell the candidates: The time limit is 72 hours, and I hope everyone can reach the ground alive."

After speaking, the bean-faced man returned to the spaceship from the gangway, and left on the spaceship.

There are only about forty candidates left on the top of the five-football-field-sized tower. Compared with the wide top of the tower, the small number is just a drop in the ocean.

Hey, it seems that there are not enough 42 people?

Before Bilika could think about it, Leorio laughed. He thought very simply: "Ha, this is not going to be a problem for Birika, as long as you take us to fly down, it will be fine!"

Bilika shook her head in embarrassment: "Let's not say that the wind here is too strong, even I can't control the balance; even if they can fly, Zakiya and Xiaojie are fine, but Leorio... you will put me My broom broke!"

"Uh..." Leorie was embarrassed, and there was a sudden scream from a distance. It was the rock climber who was trying to climb down from the outer wall, and was eaten up by man-eating birds flying around the tower in an instant. .

"It seems that going down the outer wall won't work." Kurapika looked around the top of the tower: "If you want to walk from the inside of the trap tower, there should be a secret door leading down somewhere here. Have you noticed that there are fewer people on the top of the tower than before, which means that someone has already found the mechanism."

At this time, Xiaojie called them from a distance, walked over and said, "I found secret doors over there, exactly five."

"Oh! Well done, Xiaojie!" Leo Li clenched his fist hard: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Kurapika was not so optimistic: "If there are so many secret doors in the close quarters, some of them are probably traps."

Qi Ya added: "Actually, I happened to see someone going down from other places, but after he went down, the door seemed to be locked, and he didn't move, so I think that the secret door should be chosen by each person, and everyone has to choose one according to their own. way."

"Wouldn't that be... ah!!" The ground was suddenly empty, and Bi Lika was caught off guard, and she fell straight down.

It turned out that the so-called secret door was a rectangular flap with a central shaft in the middle. After people stepped on it, one end was heavy and the other was light, like a seesaw, and it leaked with a whiz.

"Bilika!" Qi Ya was a little far away, and before he could catch her, the flap turned around along the central axis, and immediately got stuck, and when Qi Ya rushed over, it couldn't be lifted.

"I didn't expect there to be a secret door here." Kurapika sighed, "I can't help it, I can only hope that we will meet again on the ground."

"Yeah." Qi Ya straightened up, his expression not very good-looking.

In fact, he also understood that even if they walked together to the place he and Xiaojie found, they would have to leave separately, but... he didn't expect it to be so sudden.

***

Besides, after stepping on the mechanism, Bilika reached out to grab it hastily, but the flap quickly closed again, instantly blocking the light and wind.

The body fell rapidly in the dark, and she began to worry whether the one she stepped on was a trap, whether it was covered with burning coals, or stuck with sharp knives?

But soon, Bilika realized that the first thing to worry about was not the layout of the bottom of the well, but the height—she hadn't landed yet!

Cold sweat dripped down her face, she clenched her fist subconsciously, and the broom... had already been dropped.

Luckily, maybe because of her life, someone caught her below.

The heart fell heavily, and Bilika subconsciously grabbed the clothes on the man's chest. She couldn't see in the dark, but she could feel the strong arms supporting her back and knees, and the pleasant smell of pine wood lingered in her nose. .The aroma soothed her tense nerves, Bilika sniffed and took a sip, and took another sip.

Huh, there seems to be... bloody smell.

The man smiled softly, his chest trembled, he rubbed his chin on top of her head twice, and said with a teasing smile: "Little cat, hehe."

"...Mr. Hisoka?" Bilika froze for a moment, jumped off the ground in a hurry, thanked her first, and then groped for her broom.

Hisoka's night vision ability is better than hers, well, it may also be because he came down first, so his eyes have adapted to the dark relationship.Anyway, Hisoka picked up the dropped broom and handed it to her, asking at the same time, "Where's your little friend?"

"Ah, Nana is angry because I gave the gold coins to Leorie and the others." No way, Nana got very angry, so she had to leave it on the spaceship temporarily, and the bean-faced man promised to help take care of it.

Bilika hesitated for a moment, and asked guiltily: "What's the content of the third test? Do I need to fight Mr. Hisoka?" When she was groping for the broom just now, she was sure that she had touched a limp arm.

If she just simply and violently uses force to decide one person to pass the level, she can leave her last words now.

When eyes can't see, hearing tends to be sharper than usual.

After Bilika heard her finished speaking, Hisoka's voice obviously became more urgent and heavy, but finally calmed down slowly.

Although this child is very interesting, she is still too weak. If she is not careful, she will be killed.

Hisoka poked her right cheek with his index finger, turning her face to the left: "Look there ◆"

There is a double-bucket mine cart over there, and the narrow-gauge railway leads to the front where there is no end in sight. On the wall next to it is a small line of words written with fluorescent agent, which emits a faint green light in the dark.

It was only when Bilika came to the front that she saw clearly that the road for two people was written on the top, and it was written in detail below that the examinees were free to choose. Two of them can pass now, while the others have to wait for 30 hours at the same place.After that, two people are selected to pass, while the others need to wait another 30 hours.

The total time is only 72 hours. It is conceivable that the last two people who set off have little hope of qualifying.

"I'm also very distressed." Hisoka stood behind Bilika, leaned over to her ear, his aggrieved tone seemed to be asking for comfort: "They all just want to go with people they know well, And I don’t know anyone”

If a different person were here, he would definitely yell: Lie!You planned to pass it alone from the start!

But Bilika believed his words without hesitation, patted Hisoka's forearm, and said, "Then I will go with Mr. Hisoka!"

The two sat in the mine cart respectively, and there was a loud rumbling sound from behind. The stone door was closed from top to bottom, and several steel bars were inserted horizontally behind the stone door to completely seal the door opening. It would take 30 hours before it opened again.

The locks on the wheels were released with a "click", and the minecart began to slide forward slowly, downhill, and then faster and faster... Hey!Why haven't you arrived yet!I'm going to get carsick! !

After an unknown amount of time, the speed of the mine cart finally slowed down, and it stopped at a square platform similar to a platform.Bilika turned out of the mine car limply, and grabbed the edge of the car, with stars in front of her eyes, and she was so sick that she wanted to vomit.

On the half-person-high iron floor-to-ceiling candlestick, the hazy yellow flame kept shaking. This was the first light that Bilika saw after falling into the ground.

But in the bright light, there were three men in handcuffs, their faces covered by hoods, and they laughed strangely: "Hehehe, I have been waiting for you for a long time...my keys!!"

ha?key?

Bilika was confused, Hisoka squinted his eyes expectantly, the corners of his lips curled up, thinking only, could these people bring him some fun?
