Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Huh...huh..."

"Why is this town so big?"

Kainosuke dragged his tired body slowly down the street. Why did he feel that this town was different from what he had seen before?

It's so big, so big that he hasn't even reached where he wants to go after walking for so long.

And it was so bright that it made his eyes uncomfortable.

It was clearly night, but the town was as bright as day.

"Have cities and towns developed to this extent now?"

Kainosuke couldn't help but raise his head and looked around curiously.

It's already late at night, but people are still coming and going on the streets. Are they not sleeping?

The buildings are so tall and big, there are so many beautiful cars and strange big cars, and there are also many people in beautiful clothes, old people, adults, and children. They all look so happy.

Kai Zhisuke was shocked.

Here, it is a completely different world from Qingshi Town.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally came to Zonggu Street, a street filled with the aroma of various delicacies.

"Right here, right here..."

Kainosuke came to Soya Street smelling that smell, but at this time he was very anxious.

Because there were too many smells on this street, the strange smell was mixed in with the smell of food, so he couldn't smell the source of the smell.

"Go away!"

Kainosuke came to a roadside stall and smelled it vigorously. The owner's eyelids jumped and he waved his hand to drive him away.

"Not without."

After hearing this, Kainosuke muttered and left, ignoring the shopkeeper's threat.

Along the way, Kai Zhisuke walked and stopped. Because he was too dirty, wherever he went, passers-by frowned and looked disgusted.

But soon, they forgot about this little incident and continued shopping.

"So hungry..."

Finally, hunger overcame that inexplicable desire.

He looked at a food stall on the side of the road, looking at the steaming oden inside, his mouth salivating.

Although he felt repelled in his heart, he really couldn't stand it, especially in such an environment.

Kainosuke looked around, then turned and walked towards the food stall. Under the wary eyes of the stall owner, he passed the food stall and walked into the dark alley behind.

Sitting facing the wall, lying on his side with his eyes closed, leaning against the food stall, he seemed to be sleeping here.

The stall owner saw that he had no intention of stealing, so he ignored him and continued to make snacks for the customers.

"rustle……"

But at an angle that the food stall owner couldn't see, a light blue transparent tentacle stretched out from the corner of the wall to the food stall.

"Uh-huh!"

With a roll of tentacles, he swept away all the oden that the stall owner had just prepared, and quickly retracted it into Kainosuke's arms.

"Wow, it's delicious..."

Kainosuke immediately grabbed a handful of oden and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing the dates wholeheartedly.

Those oden dishes were steaming and looked very hot. He stuffed them all into his mouth, as if he didn't feel the heat.

"Huh? Where's my oden!?"

The food stall owner picked up the last handful of oden and was about to serve it to the customers, but when he looked back, it was empty.

The boss subconsciously glanced at the homeless man, only to find that he hadn't moved a step and was still lying on the spot facing the wall.

"Boss, are you okay?"

shouted a customer at the food stall.

"Right away, right away."

The food stall owner replied with a smile on his face and put a bunch of ingredients into the pot again, secretly saying it was bad luck.

While Kainosuke was lying in front of the alley wall enjoying his hard-earned snack, a police car stopped at the corner of Soya Street, and two policemen in police uniforms pushed open the door.

Of these two policemen, the one on the left was estimated to be in his thirties or forties, while the one on the right was in his early twenties.

"Senior Dong, according to the surveillance of the street cameras, the homeless man came here."

After getting out of the car, the young policeman glanced around and said to the older policeman next to him.

"Is this homeless man a cat?"

"He really knows how to run. He actually ran from Qianna District in the east to Amatori District in the west, spanning most of Kiyonose City."

The elderly policeman named Dong looked at the street in front of him with various delicacies and snacks, and said with his hands on his hips.

"Stop complaining, senior." The young policeman pressed the intercom, walked toward Zonggu Street, and said at the same time: "It's late at night, find the person quickly, and go home to sleep."

"Young man, don't be so anxious." The policeman named Dong punched his lower back and took steps to keep up with him. "Kenji, when you reach my age, you will know that it is useless to be anxious."

"Take your time, safety first."

The young policeman's full name is Netsuke Katsumi. He has only been on the job for less than half a year and he is very compatible with his senior's work attitude.

"Alas~" The elder followed him, looked at the other party's unwavering steps, and shook his head.

Young people are full of enthusiasm when they first join the company. No matter good or bad, they always take the lead in everything.

Even if it is such a small matter like finding a homeless person, it is done seriously and responsibly.

It's not like an old man like him, who always rushes forward with good things and hides bad things and trivial things in the back. If the tasks given by the above can be completed, they will be completed, and if they are not completed, they will be pulled down.

How could that salary be more important than his life?

"Did you see a homeless man go by here?"

Katsuki Netsuke stood in front of a food stall and asked the stall owner. The food stall owner nodded repeatedly and pointed in the direction of Zonggu Street, indicating that the homeless man was heading inside.

The two police officers walked all the way and asked the street food stall owners, and got very precise answers.

The homeless man passed by them not long ago. He had disheveled hair, tattered clothes and a slightly crazy look. The food stall owners were deeply impressed.

Finally, ten minutes later, following the guidance of the roadside stall owner, the two came to the food stall where the oden was stolen.

"tramp?"

When the food stall owner heard this, he blinked at first, then turned around naturally, stretched out his left index finger, and pointed at a figure lying on the ground in the alley behind him.

"That's it."

The two policemen looked in the direction pointed by the food stall owner and indeed saw a homeless man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes lying in the alley, with his back to Zonggu Street.

"Looking for it!"

"Senior Dong, let's take him back to the police station."

Katsuki Netsuke had a happy face and walked quickly towards the homeless man.

"Oh~ there's nothing to be happy about such nonsense."

The elderly policeman shook his head. He just found a homeless man. There was nothing to be happy about.

But he still stepped forward to keep up, mainly because he was afraid that he, a young and passionate man, could not handle his back properly and let the homeless man run away, which would be a wasted trip.

Two policemen came side by side behind Kainosuke. The young policeman bent down and stretched out his hand, intending to pat the homeless man on the shoulder.

"Hey you……"

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as Netsuke Katsumi spoke, before his outstretched right hand could touch the other person, he froze in place when the homeless man suddenly turned around.

The elderly policeman named Dong also looked stiff, looking at the homeless man lying on the ground, his lips trembling and speechless.
