Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Outsiders."

"It's only half a year since you left the village last time. I don't ask you why, but you can't come back with injuries like last time."

The middle-aged man turned to look at him with a heavy tone and worried face.

"Shandou, you'll be worried."

"I know, I will."

The god of gods lowered their brows and nodded.

At this time, a samurai came over and handed a samurai sword to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man took the samurai sword and handed it to Tenjin Gaidao.

"Hope you never have to use it."

The middle-aged man patted the shoulder of Tianshen Wai Dao, turned around and walked towards the door, followed by two warriors at the door. Leaving him standing alone in the cherry blossom garden full of light flowers, silent.

When: April 1, 1986.

Location: North Coast of the Kajin Empire, Lemesos.

Lymesos is the fifth largest city in the Cajin Empire. It is located in the innermost part of Limassol Bay on the south coast of Cyprus Island. Near the Marceau Sea, the scenery is beautiful.

Lemesos is now a modern seaside city. The main industrial product is the famous Limeland spirit since ancient times. The two largest wineries of the Cajin Empire are located here.

And in the central area of ​​the city, Gesac Castle, a banquet is being held.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"To celebrate what's to come, I'm introducing a true Cajin hero."

"He was a hero with outstanding military achievements and was awarded the Medal of Honor. He fought bravely at the Battle of Gegetz and defeated the valiant Sher Shale people."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce..."

"Seventh Corps—Captain Orson Negg!"

"Papa papa..."

When the host said the name of the "hero". For a while, the applause continued.

"Thank you, Mr. McCann. You've been honored."

A 30-year-old man in military uniform walked out of the crowd below, with extraordinary momentum. He first hugged the host, then came to the middle of the stage and looked down at the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Orson Negg."

"I followed General Ogren of the Seventh Corps of the Kajin Empire and conquered the northern part of the empire..."

Next, the captain named Orson Negg told the audience about his past experience and illustrious military achievements.

"That is the command arranged by the Kajin Empire?"

Illumi was sitting on a sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking it gently.

"It's just a puppet, don't worry about it."

Kim Bradley also looked at Captain Orson Negg, who had finished speaking on the stage and was walking towards them, with a calm expression.

He arrived in the Cajin Empire earlier than Illumi, and first went to Tobermory, the capital of the empire, to meet the current king, Nashby Huicro, and then came to Lymesos to prepare for boarding.

During the meeting with the current king, Nasby Huikero, the other party stated that the Kajin Empire wanted to become a civilized power, and one of the representatives was to go to the Dark Continent to explore and return.

To this end, Nasby Huicro is willing to invite the world's professional hunter team to form a pioneer investigation team at any cost to remove obstacles for their army and expert team.

If they perform well, they will gain huge wealth and enjoy the many welfare policies of the Kajin Empire. No matter whether they engage in any industry or start a business in the future, they will receive the greatest support from the local government for various hunter activities.

Now, it's just that the Kajin royal family arranged for everyone to hold a "last banquet" on the eve of departure.

Looking at those reveling in the banquet, Kim Bradley felt a little ridiculous in his heart. These people thought they were going to the new world, but in fact, 99% of these people would die there.

That's right, the Kajin Empire sent people to the Dark Continent, not just simply sending some experts and explorers, hired hunters, etc. to explore, they also sent an army of no less than 5,000 people.

Those who have never been to the Dark Continent, or those who have not understood the Dark Continent, only know that they are about to go to a new continent, a new world, and when they return with honor, they will gain glory and wealth.

"Mr. Kim Bradley, meeting for the first time."

During Kim Bradley's contemplation, Captain Orson, the puppet in his mouth.

"Hello."

Kim Bradley got up slowly, shook hands with him, and then sat down to communicate in a calm manner.

"Who is this……"

After a while, Olsen seemed to notice Yilumi's strangeness, looked at Yilumi who was sitting beside him, squinted his eyes and asked.

"This is Illumi Bradley, a descendant of the family and a member of the team."

Kim Bradley made a brief introduction, and Illumi didn't even speak, just nodded slightly to Captain Olsen.

"Mr. Illumi, nice to meet you."

Captain Olson didn't care much about Illumi's attitude, he was not qualified to command these people, and these hunters were not even from the Kajin Empire.

This mission was entrusted to him by his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Godwin. After understanding some reasons and the benefits of returning from the mission, Olson resolutely decided to carry out the mission.

Then he communicated with Kim Bradley again, got up and left to go to another corner of the banquet, where a group of hunters were also sitting idle.

They didn't sing and dance like other people on the scene, they just kept drinking and joking with their companions.

"Just an ordinary person..."

Yilumi stared intently at Captain Olsen's back. Isn't this kind of person going to the Dark Continent to die?

It seems that the royal family of the Kajin Empire did not tell them the real danger of this mission in order not to dampen their enthusiasm.

"Hohohoho..."

Just as Illumi was contemplating, a particularly familiar laughter sounded behind them.

"Kim... no, I'll call you Bradley, lest I keep getting it wrong."

Nitro walked around the sofa, came to sit next to Illumi, and sat opposite Kim Bradley.

Greed, Pride, and Sloth just glanced at it lightly, they were all acquaintances, and they didn't particularly care.

Kim Bradley didn't say anything, and Nitro could be called whatever he wanted, and he was called by his last name directly, which was more intimate than his first name.

"Oh, Illumi kid is here too."

Netero deliberately looked at Illumi with a surprised face. He knew his true identity and wanted to tease him. As for why he looks like this, it can only be attributed to his ability to read, just like Bisji.

Yilumi narrowed her eyes and did not speak.

Nitero's character is like a child if he is a child, he likes to play and make troubles just like a child. Knowing that he was still looking surprised, she deliberately called him a kid.

"Bradley, as a companion who once fought together, I have a word."

Nitro stroked his goatee, his tone relaxed and his expression flat.

"Please say."

Kim Bradley looked serious and gave him enough respect.

"You guys can't go to the Dark Continent!"

Netero still had a plain face, but his tone and momentum were completely different from before.

Illumi, Pride and the others turned their gazes to Nitero, who was still stroking his beard calmly. But at this moment, Netero is exuding a strong sense of presence.

"That old man is...?"

Not far away, several men and women in suits and dresses were frightened by Nitero's powerful presence, as if they were weak animals invaded by a tiger, and left the area in panic.

"If I say I have to go, what are you going to do?"

Before Kim Bradley opened his mouth, Illumi spoke first. His tone was flat, but the meaning of his words could not be more obvious.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became dignified, and the aura of Nitro and Illumi confronted each other. Vaguely, the area around them became a vacuum, and no one dared to approach them.

In the corner not far away, Biyangde, who was talking with Captain Olsen, also noticed it instantly, and shifted his sight to the corner where Illumi and the others were.

"Mr. Bijand?"

Captain Olson looked at Biyang De who had been talking happily with him a moment ago, his expression suddenly became solemn, and his brows were slightly frowned.

Scanning the surroundings, he found that other people in the hunter team had shifted their eyes to the direction Bi Yangde was looking at. Some people frowned, some had a defiant arc at the corner of their mouth, some looked cold, and some looked excited.

But in any case, the atmosphere on the scene seemed to change from lively to quiet and dignified in an instant.

Out of curiosity, Captain Olsen followed everyone's gaze.

"Oh, that's Mr. Kim Bradley's team."

"We are also a professional hunter team. Would you like to contact Mr. Biyang De? After all, in the next mission, the two sides will cooperate closely."

Olsen clapped his palms, trying to attract everyone's attention, but everyone still kept their eyes on that side.

"However, that old man in white... I don't remember that person on the banquet invitation list."

The atmosphere at the scene was still dignified. Seeing that Captain Olsen failed to attract everyone's attention, he changed the topic and tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Mr. Bijand?"

Suddenly, Bi Yang De's dignified expression eased, his brows and eyes widened and he walked towards that side. Olsen called out, but there was no response.

"Let's join in the fun too."

After Billand got up, Cervantes and all the hunters got up and followed Billand. Seeing this, Captain Olsen was afraid of any conflict between them, so he had to get up and follow.

A group of more than ten people marched towards Yilumi, which naturally attracted the attention of some interested people.

"Leave us alone, take care of your own family if you can."

Yilu Mi slowly turned his head and looked to the right. Bi Yangde and his group were slowly approaching. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was becoming more and more serious, Captain Olsen withdrew and accelerated to the center of the crowd, introducing each other.

"Mr. Jin, this is from the Ozma Federation..."

"Dad, are you stopping me?"

Before Captain Olsen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Biyang De's father. In his astonished expression, Biyangde stepped forward and sat on a single sofa, looking at Nitro with a smile on his face.

"Old... Dad?"

Captain Olson repeated the two words Bijand said, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Nitero and Bijand, his face full of disbelief.

Although there seems to be a gap in age between these two people, he feels that the difference between the age of seventy and sixty is not enough for Bi Yang De to be called his father, right?

"That's right, I'm here to stop you."

"But I didn't expect, but unexpectedly met an acquaintance."

Nitro laughed, and Bijande glanced at the five Illumi present, focusing on Pride for a moment, and then shifted his gaze to Kim Bradley.

Kim Bradley also set his sights on Billand, dressed as an ancient general. There is not much difference between Bi Yangde at this time and more than ten years later, the only difference is that there is no cross scar on his face.

"You are Kim Bradley who discovered the [Spettle Ruins]? It is better to meet you than to be famous. You are really impressive."

"There are also some powerful characters in the team, do you want to join me?"

The corners of Biyang De's mouth were split, his tone was unruly, and at the same time he gave off a bold image. But asking Yilumi and the others to go to him when he opened his mouth was obviously provocative.

But Illumi and Pride just looked at him with cold faces. Greed shook his head, his face full of disdain. As for Sloss, this guy had a dull expression on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was indifferent to Biyangde's words.

"Boss, I think you should stop wasting your thoughts."

Behind Biyangde, a white-haired man dressed as a mercenary

Looking at the guard's back, Johnny felt a little amused. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it, but then he remembered that he was in the warehouse and had to put the cigarette back into his pocket.

"呵~"

Just when Johnny regained control of the forklift to fork up the freezer on the ground, there was a sound like air leaking from the freezer, and Johnny's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but swear.

"He and I……"

But fortunately, he remembered the guard from before, if the things that those people valued so much were damaged...

Thinking of this, Johnny broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, pretending to be nonchalant, he started the forklift, and carried the freezer to a heavy truck with the Umbrella company logo on the other side.

"Why am I so unlucky?"

In the compartment of the heavy-duty truck, Johnny got off the forklift and squatted down in front of the freezer.

"what is this?"

Johnny, who was squatting down, immediately noticed the abnormality of the freezer. The lower corner of the freezer flashed red light one after another, accompanied by a "beep" sound.

"It's not really broken, is it?"

Johnny was in a cold sweat. If he broke such a valuable thing, how much would he have to pay?

"Hopefully it's just a little problem."

Thinking of this, Johnny began to check carefully, and even reached out and patted the freezer twice. The surface of the freezer was made of heavy steel, making a "bang bang" sound.

"Grass, is it really broken?"

Johnny suddenly discovered that there was a gap where the red light was shining under the freezer. He lay down and slowly moved his head closer to the gap of red light.

"this is……"

Johnny looked at the pale thing in the freezer, frowning, he was not sure what was inside, moved his body again, adjusted the angle, and finally saw the whole picture of the thing.

"people!?"
