Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

This fat man with a fat belly and an imbecile look is none other than Gluttony Gratoni.

"Get down, Gratoni."

Rust was behind Gratoni and said coldly.

"oh."

Gratoni bit his fingers and jumped down, landing with a loud bang, causing a shock on the top of the building.

"call out!"

Rust jumped lightly and landed gracefully.

She was wearing a burgundy evening dress, with her arms akimbo, exuding the cool charm of a medieval celebrity and aristocrat.

"what should we do?"

Rust came to Ilumi's side and showed a charming smile.

"Wait a minute, let's watch a show first."

Ilumi replied that he was not in a hurry, the night was still very long.

The ones who should be worried are the "people" hiding in this building. After all, their lair has been blown up, and the giant mimic has also been forced out.

The army also laid an ambush underground on the outskirts of the city, cooperating with Julius in killing them front and rear.

"what sound?"

In the municipal building, hundreds of police officers who were on guard looked up and heard a loud noise coming from the top of the building.

"This place is too abnormal. As long as you find any abnormality, I give you permission to shoot directly."

Inukai ordered to his subordinates.

"yes!"

The police officers responded that even though they were police, they were not allowed to shoot at ordinary times. Those who fired at will would even be dismissed from their posts and investigated, and those who caused casualties would be jailed.

Instead of taking the elevator, the police took the stairs and searched carefully from floor to floor.

It's not that they don't want to improve efficiency, but because the atmosphere here is too abnormal. If they separate rashly, Quan Kai is worried that he will be attacked.

When he checked the confidential files given to him by the director, he had a vague idea.

The people who control this city now are no longer humans.

Twenty minutes later, they finally searched the first floor and found their destination.

On the 10th floor of the municipal government, the mayor's office.

"Bang!"

Inukai kicked open the office door and was about to lead people in, but found that the office was completely dark and hurriedly hid to the left of the door.

Before he came, he made sure that the mayor was here, and he just saw the light from the tenth floor below.

Inukai squatted at the door, took out the flashlight from the inner bag of his police uniform, and looked at the policeman squatting on the right side of the door.

The other party nodded, took out a flashlight from his bag, held a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and the two of them rushed in with their men.

"police!"

He habitually calls out his professional identity, but there is no response in the office except the breathing and footsteps of his own people.

"Snapped!"

A policeman stood in front of the light switch and reached out to press it, but there was no response.

"The lights in the mayor's office are broken?"

The policeman said unexpectedly.

"Look for any other switches." Inukai didn't pay attention to such a trivial matter. He ordered the others: "Others, in teams of three, search the office."

"Be careful, the criminal may be hiding somewhere in the office, don't be careless and get attacked."

"Yes, Captain!"

The police officers responded and immediately formed a three-person team according to their usual detachment. They searched the office with a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

"Crack!"

However, just as they started to act, a lamp suddenly came on in the office.

"Click... click..."

The sudden light immediately caused the police officers to point their guns at the desk lamp.

The police officers were highly focused and watched everything around the lamp with vigilance.

A desk lamp, a desk, and an office chair with its back to them.

It was a green desk lamp, and the light emitted through the lampshade was also a strange green color.

Inukai raised his palms to signal everyone not to shoot yet, and he slowly walked closer.

"Da da da……"

Inukai stepped on cheap leather shoes worth less than a thousand garni and approached slowly step by step. The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the dark office.

"Click, click..."

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound from behind the office chair facing away from them, which sounded like the sound of a lighter.

"call!"

A flame suddenly appeared in the darkness, and its faint light slightly lit up the surrounding area.

"clatter!"

Inukai stopped and stared at the bunch of flames.

Moving his gaze downward, he saw a slender arm holding a flame. With his excellent eyesight, he even saw the age spots and wrinkles on the back of the other person's hand.

"Mayor Sugata Mori?"

Inukai called out the name of the person behind the chair dubiously.

It was a test, because he wasn't sure if the person behind the chair was the mayor.

"Do you have anything to say about what you did during these two years in office?"

Inukai's tone was serious, but he was still a little nervous. After all, when he knew that the "person" he was facing might not be a person, it was difficult to suppress his nervousness.

"This police officer..."

Suddenly, the person sitting behind the chair spoke, his voice was hoarse and his speech was slow and slow.

"Do you know why I don't turn on the light?"

Inukai frowned when he heard the words. The other party did not respond to his words, but he did not deny them either.

Inukai stared at the chair with its back to him, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Because you're the kind of guy who likes to live in the dark."

"dark……"

The person behind the chair repeated the sentence, and tapped the fingers of his left hand gently on the armrest of the chair. The sound of "knock, knock, knock" echoed in the office.

"Being born in darkness does not mean that you like darkness."

"Just like people are born in war and hate war, it's the same reason."

The person behind the chair started to talk about something, but Inukai didn't intend to interrupt him at this time.

"When I was born, there was no light around me, only darkness."

"Over time, I learned to embrace the darkness, blend into the darkness, and become a part of the darkness."

"I became accustomed to my dark identity and to living in the darkness."

“But at one point in my life, I saw the first light in my life.”

"The light that comes from beyond the darkness."

"Beautiful and warm."

"From then on, I began to yearn for the darkness and began to pursue the light."

"In the end, I got what I wanted."

"But habit is a terrible vice, it makes me obstinate, it weakens my will."

"Although I am in the light, my heart is still wandering in the darkness."

"Until one day, I understood something."

"Habits must be defeated with habits."

"Now...I'm getting used to living in the light."

"What are you pretending to say?" At this time, one of the police officers finally couldn't bear it anymore. After complaining like crazy, he looked at Inujia and said, "Captain, just arrest this old man and lock him up." Go to the cell and let him chirp when the time comes."

Inukai ignored the opinions of his subordinates. They had not experienced the battle last night, and there was no news about yesterday's monster on the news. Naturally, they did not know that the person hiding in the darkness in front of them was not actually a human.
