Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter 105: Purpose x Deterrence

In the lobby, there were seven people sitting on the sofa or standing somewhere in a daze.

None of the seven spoke, silently waiting for the mastermind behind all this to appear.

They all know that this is an abnormal trip, but they still have to suppress their feelings and pretend to be normal.

But in fact, in the eyes of others, their current atmosphere is the most abnormal.

The three front desk ladies were at a loss as they watched the scene in the lobby.

They have been working here for less than two weeks, and they don't know what to do in the face of this abnormal situation.

One of the front desk ladies touched the phone, and just as she was about to press the phone number for the president's office, the elevator in the lobby rang with a "ding".

She subconsciously looked in the direction of the elevator, and saw a ten-year-old child in a children's suit stepping out of the elevator and walking towards him.

The receptionist knew him. The kid was the boss's kid, Selim Bradley, who was often with the boss and the security chief.

Pride stepped to the center of the lobby, turned to face the seven people, with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, they are all people who have passed the test."

"Next, I will lead you to the top floor."

Pride made an appearance of a well-behaved child, looked at the crowd, and invited them aloud.

"Child?"

Andres looked at the short figure who came to them, feeling a little surprised in his heart, and his expression changed slightly.

As for Alvin and Riley, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes. They did not expect that the person who came to greet them turned out to be a child.

Different from the other three, Caesar, Aimed, Julius, and Eric are full of vigilance in their hearts, looking at Pride with more or less fear in their eyes.

Especially Julius, his keen sixth sense clearly sensed that the child-like person in front of him was extremely dangerous.

It gave him the same feeling as the tiger, the king of beasts he met in the wild forest in his early years.

It had been a long time since he had felt the slight tingling sensation on the surface of his skin.

"Let's go."

Pride turned around and walked towards the elevator. Everyone hesitated for a moment, but followed his pace.

In the elevator, everyone had a delicate atmosphere, no one spoke, and they were wary of each other.

"Ding!"

Soon, the high-speed elevator reached the 51st floor, and the elevator door opened.

The first thing that catches the eye is a rectangular panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, which can see the vast snow outside.

There is no corridor on the 51st floor, because the entire floor of the 51st floor is the president's office.

The interior is very spacious, but also very deserted. There are three sofas and a coffee table in the center, and a red solid wood desk and two dark red bookcases are placed in the left space, on which various books are neatly placed. .

The seven people followed Pride's footsteps out of the elevator door, came to the center of the president's office, and scanned the spacious space.

"Is the person who invited us here?"

in their sight,

Glid sat on the sofa, looking at them with disdain.

Illumi and Kim Bradley stood in front of the panoramic French windows with their backs facing them, with red wine swaying gently in their hands.

Pride stepped to stand beside Illumi, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone followed the agreement and arrived at the destination on time."

While they were observing Illumi, Illumi suddenly spoke, and together with Kim Bradley, slowly turned to face them.

"Welcome everyone, you have traveled thousands of miles to the headquarters of Umbrella Biotechnology Company."

Everyone looked at his young face, feeling extremely depressed.

In their thinking, even if the person who can make that kind of test is not an old man in his forties or fifties, he should not look like this in his twenties.

In contrast, the middle-aged man next to him in an expensive suit and eye patch has more leadership qualities.

"You are the one who made those test questions and invited us?" Andres asked with a frown.

"No, to be precise, I am the initiator, but not the executor."

Yilumi smiled lightly, raised the goblet in his hand, and took a sip of the red wine.

"I am the executor."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded out of thin air, and everyone's expressions were shocked.

"Crack~"

While they were looking for the sound source, a screen was slowly lowered from the ceiling, and a cartoon character appeared on the screen.

"It's you!"

Looking at the familiar cartoon character and the familiar voice, it was the mysterious character on the phone.

Yilumi's eyes scanned the crowd, seeing the different emotions emanating from them. Among the seven people present, except for the girl, all of them were scheming people.

If it weren't for his ability to perceive emotions, it would be difficult to detect the subtle changes on their faces.

"Then who is he?"

The blond girl pointed at Illumi and asked doubtfully.

"He is the boss, the main initiator of this test invitation."

Following Ike Champe's explanation, the seven people turned their attention to Illumi again.

Julius looked around the scene, for some reason, the four people here, obviously did nothing, but gave them a feeling of shock.

Whether it's tone or actions, there is a strong and compelling self-confidence, as if everything is under their control.

This ability to be controlled by others caused the seven people present to feel a strong sense of fear in their hearts, and they actually stood there obediently, not daring to move.

The same is true for Caesar. In his eyes, the understated actions and words of these people in front of him exerted an invisible heavy pressure on everyone.

He has only seen this kind of situation with some national-level figures.

It's a feeling that the other party knows everything about you, and no matter what, you can't escape from his control, exhausted physically and mentally, and deeply afraid of it.

"What's the purpose of calling me here?"

"Can you tell me now?"

With a drop of sweat streaming down his face, Andres took a step forward, trying to shake off the suffocating pressure of the scene, and questioned him.

"Jin, I leave it to you."

Illumi closed her eyes and smiled softly, Kim Bradley nodded slightly, and took a step forward, it's time for him to appear.

"Everyone of you present has a corresponding wish to be fulfilled."

With his hands behind his back, Kim Bradley scanned everyone's faces with extremely oppressive eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"I can tell you what you think in your heart."

"Here, everything is possible."

"Of course, you should also be mentally prepared for the price to be paid."

"Since the choice has come, you can't quit halfway, otherwise..."

"call out!"

A series of black shadows suddenly shot out from Pride's feet, passing through the crowd in an instant, they only felt a blur in front of their eyes, like a cold blade passing by their ears.

A moment later, a strand of broken hair fell from their ears, and the scene was silent.

"What... do you want us to participate in?"

Caesar's pupils shrank. What happened just now was a phenomenon he had never experienced even in his twenty years of espionage.

Was that... a shadow just now?

A lot of shadows shot out from under that child's feet?

He clearly saw that the moment the shadow appeared, a huge scarlet eye and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth appeared in the shadow under the child's feet.

"Some people want power, some people want to explore the mysteries of the soul, some people want to make themselves more evolved..."

"All of this is actually not difficult in the world."

"I believe you have seen everything just now, right?"

Following Kim Bradley's words, everyone turned their eyes to Pride who was standing beside Illumi, their eyes full of fear.

"That's not magic, let alone some mechanism."

"You may not believe it, but the truth is, it's a power everyone has."

"Although it is unbelievable, we can allow you to have this kind of power, allowing you to complete evolution in your respective fields."

"And, this is just the beginning."

As Kim Bradley's voice fell, the shadow under Pride's feet shot out suddenly, covering the entire office, not even a trace of light existed.

"what happened!?"

Alvin yelled, and everyone was shocked by this sudden scene. Why did the office, which was bright just now, suddenly become dark and dull.

"Shua!"

Suddenly, a giant scarlet eye opened on the ceiling.

"Shua, Shua, Shua..."

Not only that, on the floor, on the wall, and even on the sofa, densely packed scarlet eyes kept appearing and opening everywhere, making one's scalp numb.

"Gulu..."

For a while, the office fell into a strange silence, looking in horror at the dark and scarlet eyes covering the entire floor, especially the huge scarlet pupil above their heads, which was staring at them closely.

Sweat profusely.

"Shua!"

Suddenly, the giant scarlet eyes closed, the darkness faded, and the room became bright and spacious again.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Only then did everyone seem to wake up from a dream, gasping for breath, their faces full of disbelief.

"hehe……"

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, one of the seven people let out a nervous laugh, and everyone followed the sound.

I saw that Eric was lowering his head, his body was trembling, and his laughter was getting louder and louder, which was mixed with madness, and he could vaguely see the frightening coldness in his eyes.

"Then here comes the problem."

After a series of stimulation just now, Julius finally recovered, looked at Kim Bradley, and said.

"How can you be sure that after we possess such abilities, we will definitely work for you?"

"Tch, hahahaha..."

As soon as Julius's words came out, Glid immediately burst out laughing. Looking at Julius, his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole body suddenly exuded a dangerous feeling.

"You, do you want to die?"

A strong murderous aura was released from Greed silently, sweeping across the entire room in an instant, making everyone breathless.

"Even if you awaken your ability, it will only be a blink of an eye if I want to kill you."

"Besides, since we dare to do this, we naturally have the ability to restrain you."

At this moment, Andres, who was still amazed by this ability before, wanted to play with the world in his hands, Eric who was crazy, Caesar who was watching indifferently, and Alvin who was calm from the beginning to the end. With Julius, and Riley, who has been ignorant, all lost their minds, and their expressions changed drastically.
