Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Hoo ho ho, on a whim."

Nitro chuckled nonchalantly. Mo Laowu shook his head gently. The president still had the temper of a child.

The three of them walked side by side towards the end of the street.

"Are they those three people just now!?"

With a "crash", Finks pushed away the chair and stood up suddenly, looking at the backs of the three Nitros with an unkind look on his face.

"That old man just now..." Feitan also narrowed his eyes. For a moment just now, he noticed the aura released by Nitro.

"It's okay." Chrollo said calmly, his tone was no different from usual, and he said calmly: "It was just a test by the old man, there was no harm."

It turned out that Nitro had quietly released a trace of malice the moment he passed Chrollo.

One moment he was sitting at a barbecue stall eating barbecue, and the next moment he appeared in darkness.

There was only a glimmer of light where he stood, and everything around him was dark, silent, and eerie.

And above his head, Nitro, exuding a dark aura, was staring at him with a pair of empty, dark eyes, like a demon from the abyss.

But this scene only existed for a moment before he returned to reality.

Although it was only for a moment, even so, the malice was not something Chrollo could contend with now.

"You are such a strong old man. He made me lose the ability to resist with just his breath, and even had hallucinations." Chrollo looked normal, but under the table, the five fingers of his left hand clenched into a fist.

"Testing?" Wo Jin scratched the back of his head and asked doubtfully, "Why?"

"Who knows." Nobunaga picked up a meat skewer and said, "You can ask him yourself."

"Ah, I know!" The knight suddenly made a fist with his right hand and smashed it into the palm of his left hand. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Isn't that what you meant?"

"Ah~?" Finks looked at the knight with confusion on his face, "What do you mean?"

"It's that kind of thing, that kind of thing." The corner of the knight's mouth raised. "It's like in many movies, where a reclusive master walks out of the mountains and unexpectedly meets a gifted child."

"So I fell in love with him and wanted to accept him as my disciple and inherit the mantle... something like that."

"Hey, there is no such person." Finks complained disdainfully, pulled back the chair and sat down again.

Everyone was still eating barbecue and paying attention to the passers-by.

Qingsheng City, Dadang Street.

"Guji~"

There was a strange sound in the dark alley. It was the bowel sounds caused by intestinal peristalsis after being hungry.

It reminds the owner that it is time to eat.

"Snapped!"

A dark and dirty hand pressed against the wall of the alley exit, and a disheveled head stretched out, exposed to the neon light.

"Yeah~!"

When two young men and women passed by the alley, the young woman was frightened by the sudden head and screamed, squeezing over the man next to her.

The man was also startled, but not by his head, but by the woman's scream.

"It's just a homeless man, don't be afraid."

The man hugged his girlfriend and whispered comfort. Hearing this, the woman turned slightly sideways and turned to look at the person who suddenly appeared on the street.

Her hair was disheveled and twisted into dirty braids because it had not been taken care of for a long time. The clothes on her body were all tattered and turned into strips of cloth, but the skin under the strips was extremely white.

"Very hungry."

Kainosuke held his stomach with one hand and supported the wall with the other, muttering softly.

But when he realized that someone was observing him, he raised his head. The dirty braids that covered his face fell to the sides of his shoulders as he raised his head, revealing the dirty, but extremely fair and handsome young man's face.

"This kid... doesn't look like a homeless man."

The two young men and women looked at Kainosuke, who was covered in tattered clothes and disheveled hair, with subtle expressions on their faces.

His clothes were in tatters and his hair was disheveled, like a savage.

But he has a fair and handsome face, and he doesn't look like the kind of black homeless man who can't find a job and can only beg on the street.

"So hungry..."

Kainosuke spoke again, taking a step forward and completely walking out of the dark alley.

"Let's leave him alone and let's go." The young woman tugged on the man's arm and said with some fear. But the man shook his head and took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket.

"Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid something happened to him. He might be a missing person for a certain period of time." The man dialed the police number, but he was thinking in his heart, "It's better to call the police. At least we can give this child some help."

"Hello, Qian Nai District Police Station?" The phone call from the police station was quickly dialed. The man briefly explained what had just happened, and then told the policeman who answered the phone that he suspected that the other party was a missing person, and received a response from the policeman. After that, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, where are the people?"

The man hung up the phone and looked down to see that Kainosuke was gone.

"left already."

The young woman pointed to the street in front of them where they were going to go. Kainosuke was moving step by step with tired steps.

The man looked at his moving figure, feeling a strange uneasiness in his heart.

"Hehe, we are also very lucky today." Just as the man stared at the back of Kai Zhinosuke, the young woman smiled and patted his chest, "It has been a long time since we saw homeless people in Qingsheng City. I didn’t expect we would meet one today.”

"Can't you see the homeless figure..." When the man heard this, he thought of a news report.

[Missing cases occur frequently in Qingsheng City, and hundreds of homeless people disappeared mysteriously overnight! 】

Such a report caused an uproar for a period of time and became a topic of gossip among people after dinner.

But he soon disappeared in various political news and celebrity scandals and scandals.

For the sake of face, the government has mobilized a large number of police forces to investigate missing cases, but no matter how they investigate, these missing persons and homeless people are like disappearing into the sea, with no news at all.

Over time, under the deliberate guidance of the government, the people also completely forgot about it.

"Over the years, the number of disappearances has remained high, but the government has done nothing." The young man looked at Ji Zhisuke's farther and farther back, and murmured softly: "What is hidden in this huge, drunken and golden city?" What kind of secret is it holding?”

"What are you muttering about?" The young woman raised her hand and waved it in front of him, pouting.

"Oh, it's nothing." The man came back to his senses and chuckled: "Let's go."

The two held hands and walked forward, much closer than before.

"So hungry, but..."

"There's something, there's something in this town, and I need it."

Kainosuke moved his exhausted body. He was obviously so hungry that he was about to faint, but there was a strange smell in the air that attracted him, making him involuntarily walk in the direction of the source of the smell.
