Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

Municipal Building, third basement floor.

"Da da……"

The sound of crisp footsteps stopped, and Yilumi, who was wearing the third-generation power armor, raised his head and stared at the huge hole in the wall in front of him with a diameter of five meters.

The inside of the wall hole has unclear concavities and convexities, and the hole opening is also irregularly circular. It is obviously not mechanically excavated.

Yilumi turned on night vision, stepped into the entrance of the cave, and looked around. The passage was very humid, and the walls and ground were covered with translucent mucus.

"Dip, the source of infection was found."

A virtual screen suddenly appeared in front of Yilumi's eyes, constantly scanning the translucent slime on the walls and ground of the passage, and comparing it with the data in the headquarters database.

Yilumi didn't pay attention, turned off the scan, and slowly moved towards the depths of the passage.

I don’t know how long it took, five minutes or ten minutes...

Yilumi finally saw a faint light in front of him.

"clatter."

Yilumi stood at the exit of the passage, looking up and looking ahead.

At the end of the passage is an empty underground space. Just like inside the passage, the walls and ground are uneven and covered with mucus. There are also many rocks in the walls. It should be that digging rocks is too wasteful and they are left behind. on the wall.

And on these walls and rocks, there are also a large number of huge water bubbles that emit a faint blue light.

The walls of the cave still reflect the shimmering blue light emitted from these eggs.

"Dip, a mimic infected person was found."

While Ilumi scanned the cave, small virtual windows popped up in front of his eyes, all of which contained humans wrapped up like spider eggs.

The intelligent AI of the third-generation power armor even identified their identities by scanning the facial features of the people in the eggs and comparing them with the Qingsheng City Police Department database.

"They are all government workers."

"This is to arrest all the employees who didn't have time to leave tonight."

Yi Lumi speculated in his mind.

"drop!"

Suddenly, a call window popped up in front of Yilumi, showing that it was Rust Communication.

"What's up?"

Ilumi asked.

"The target is aware of it and is heading towards you."

"I see."

Yilumi turned off the communication, frowned and scanned the huge bubbles in the cave.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his right arm slightly.

"Buzz..."

The five fingers of Yilumi's right hand were spread out, with the palm facing upward. At the same time, a large amount of black thought energy emerged from his body and converged on the palm. As the thought energy continued to gather, the gas gradually condensed into a ball of black liquid.

There was more and more black liquid, until it fell from Yilumi's hand to the ground and flowed in all directions.

"Gululu..."

The surface of the black liquid spilled on the ground continued to squirm and bulge, as if something was trying to crawl out of the liquid.

"Tear~!"

One wolf claw tore through the liquid like tearing cloth, then the second wolf claw, the black wolf snout, the ferocious and majestic black wolf head, neck, abdomen, two hind legs, until a low hanging wolf tail started from the black "Escape" from the liquid.

"Tear...tear..."

Immediately afterwards, more black wolves crawled out of the black liquid, and they did not stop until the seventh mind beast appeared.

"Woooo..."

The seven-headed wolf-shaped mind beast stood in front of Ilumi in a ferocious posture, lowering its body and making a "woo-woo" sound from its mouth. This was a posture that could launch an attack at any time.

"Go and destroy those mimic eggs."

Yilumi gave an order in her heart.

"Woooo..."

The seven black wolves' pupils flashed red, turned around quickly, and silently climbed up the cave wall, aiming at a huge bubble.

"bass!"

The shadow of the wolf flashed past, and a mimic egg emitting a faint blue light burst with a "pop", and a large amount of liquid fell from the egg as the infected person inside it.

"Pa bang bang..."

The mimic eggs continued to crack, and infected people fell to the ground from the cracked mimic eggs.

"Ahem..."

After leaving the mimic eggs, these infected people immediately woke up, their bodies shook convulsively, and they vomited a lot of translucent liquid from their bodies.

"Where...is this?"

A long-haired woman woke up first and glanced at the ground with confused eyes. However, due to the continuous bursting of the mimic eggs, the light in the cave became weaker and weaker.

The woman could only see dozens of centimeters in front of her with the help of the faint blue light of the cave. She could only slowly withdraw her gaze, put it on her hands, and immediately noticed the disgusting mucus stained on her body.

"What's this!?"

"Why is there so much water on me!? It's so disgusting!"

"Where is this!?"

"Who is playing a prank!?"

"Am I kidnapped?"

"It's so dark in here."

"Head hurts."

As the infected people woke up one after another, the underground space that was silent a moment ago suddenly became noisy.

Some people have headaches, some have nausea and vomiting.

However, Yilumi guessed from their behavior and words that they seemed to have forgotten how they were caught in such a place.

"The brain automatically eliminates memories that are too painful and terrifying?"

"Or, they simply don't know their current situation."

Ilumi could only speculate in this way.

"What the hell is this place? Why am I here?"

"Does anyone know?"

"Uuuuuuuuuah...I'm so scared...Dad..."

Among the infected, some began to ask loudly, and some began to cry in fear.

"blow!"

Suddenly, there was a bright light in the darkness, and a flare was fired from the Ilumi exoskeleton. It was firmly fixed on the wall at the top of the cave with a "bang" sound. It emitted a strong light with a "chi" sound, illuminating the dark and gloomy cave. Everything is bright.

"Ah~ so bright!"

Hundreds of infected people were immediately frightened by the sudden strong light and closed their eyes uncomfortably.

After a while, they finally adjusted to the light of the flares and opened their eyes.

"Hey, what is that... what is that?"

The first person to open his eyes was a middle-aged man. He glanced forward and immediately saw a robot-like thing standing at the entrance of the passage.

The powered exoskeleton armor, which was silver-white and more than two meters tall, stood at the entrance of the passage without saying a word, just watching them from a distance, which was terrifying.

The other infected people also turned their gazes forward and saw the tall and burly silver-white armor at a glance.

"Mecha... mecha...?"

Among the infected people, a young man in his mid-twenties who was diagnosed with gluten looked at Ilumi dumbfounded.

"You...are you here to save us?"

The young man's face was covered with mucus, and he quickly wiped it off as he spoke, his eyes filled with hope.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Yilumi looked at the young man. He had a middle-parted hairstyle and a handsome face. He was the type that could easily make women fall in love with him.

"Do you remember what happened before you came here?"

Ilumi's voice came out through the voice changer of the powered exoskeleton, giving it a cold and mechanical feel.

"Remember!"

The young man nodded and quickly recounted his memory.

"My name is Zuo Xiu. I was captured by a monster that suddenly emerged from the corridor vent when I was off work."

"I only remember that the monster was covered in strange tentacles, but I don't know what happened next."

The man recounted his memory, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.

"What!? Monster!?"

"Are we captured by a monster!?"

"But it should be okay now, right?"

"Yes, this man who looks like an armor from a science fiction movie must have been sent by the government to save us!"

"Maybe it was the government that arrested us..."

Each of the infected said a word, and they no longer had the panic when they just woke up. It seemed that the image of Ilumi and the words just now made them feel more at ease.

Siluke

"Boom..."

At this time, an explosion sounded from the depths of the cave.

"Hoarse~!"

"Ouch~!"

The explosion was accompanied by a burst of howling and neighing. It seemed that the seven black wolves on a mission encountered mimicry.

"What...what!?"

"There are wolves here!?"

"Let's go quickly!"

The infected people panicked again and struggled to get up, but because they had been soaked in the mimic eggs for too long, their bodies had not recovered, and it was difficult to even stand.

"Hey! You are from the government! Get me out of here!"

Suddenly, one of the infected people, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a white shirt, shouted to Yilumi in a conflicting tone.

"Director Ichidao?"

Someone recognized his identity and shouted.

"What...are you still looking at there!?"

"Take us away quickly!"

The middle-aged man didn't even glance at the person who called out his name, and stumbled towards Ilumi while holding on to the wall.

"You guy! Do you know who I am?"

"Get me out of here!"

"I am..."

"puff!"

There was a soft sound, and the middle-aged man stumbled to a halt. His bloated body slowly fell down, and a blood hole appeared between his eyebrows.

"Ichijima...director?"

The person who called the other party's name before opened his mouth, too frightened to speak.

"You...you killed him?"

The young man named Zuo Xiu looked at Ilumi in horror, his lips trembling.

"Why...aren't you here to save us?"

At the entrance of the passage, Illumi raised his right hand flat in front of his chest and slowly pointed his extended index finger at the young man who was speaking.

"You...you want...to kill us?"

The young man suddenly realized that this man was not here to rescue them at all, but to kill them.

"You have been infected, and sooner or later you will become the mimics who caught you."

"Rather than die miserably after becoming a mimic, it's better to be here..."

"Die with dignity as a human being."

Ilumi's voice echoed in the cave, and the voice was filled with coldness and ruthlessness.

"don't want!"

"Please let me go!"

After getting Yilumi's answer, the young man's heart was shocked and he suddenly exploded.

"I don't want to die!"

"I don't want to die!"

He stood up suddenly and stumbled towards Yilumi.

"blow!"

However, when he took half the distance, a black laser shot out from the tip of Ilumi's index finger, entered between his eyebrows, and then exited from the back of his head.

"Well……"

The young man's eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Yeah~!!!"

"He is alone! Let's rush over!"

Some of the women among the infected people suddenly screamed, while some of the men, who were full of blood, stood up with angry expressions and stumbled towards Ilumi.

"It's not a bad choice to die this way."

Looking at the group of infected people rushing toward him, Yilumi slowly raised his other hand, raising his left and right hands flat in front of his chest, stretching out his fingers and pointing at the crowd.

"Black Void Flash? Ten-finger bursts!"

The moment he finished speaking, black lasers shot out from the tips of Yilumi's ten fingers and shot densely into the rushing crowd.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"Boom!!!"

Inside the cave, earth-shattering explosions sounded one after another, and the attacks launched by condensed thoughts were like missile bombings.

The ground shook, rocks shattered, rocks and soil flew, the cave collapsed, and the flames generated by the explosion completely submerged the cave.

This attack lasted for a full ten seconds, until everything in front of it was destroyed.

He can't leave a trace. The mimic's vitality is so strong that even if his body is exploded, as long as there is enough energy and food, he can slowly recover with time.

This has been verified through experiments at the headquarters.

Although there are only infected people in front of them, there is no guarantee that some of them have good enough genes.

As for the possible blame from the island country's government after learning about it, he didn't care at all.

Because after this incident is over, he will let the island country become his own backyard and be dominated by himself.

Whether it is virus experiments, biological experiments or human experiments, they can all be carried out in island countries.

"Dip, 532 people were infected and all have been eliminated."

The electronic synthesized sound of artificial intelligence AI sounded in Ilumi's ears.

"Erase the record of this operation."

"receive!"

Ilumi gave an order to AI to delete the action records.

Then, Ilumi scanned everything in front of him.

"Chichi..."

Huge potholes can be seen everywhere on the ground. The soil inside is dark and dry. There are even high-temperature liquids like magma flowing, and acrid black smoke is emitted when it comes into contact with the soil.

As for those infected, not even a rag can be seen.

Ilumi stared at the scene in front of him calmly.

There is no sin in his heart because he thinks it is a necessary means.

He stepped over the potholes in front of him and walked deeper into the cave. He could feel that his mind beast was fighting with the mimicry.

Although the seven wolf-type mind beasts he released were small in size, they didn't look like a big deal.

But the intensity of the telekinesis he invested in them was no weaker than those of those with advanced telekinesis abilities.

Even the most advanced telekinesis users are capable of fighting.

Just in time for exploration and reconnaissance, as well as destroying the mimic cave here.

Suddenly, Ilumi stopped.

"Hoarse~!"

There was a neighing sound and a heavy "bang bang bang" sound coming from the passage behind him.

"boom!"

Soon, with a loud noise, a huge object broke through the passage and crashed into the cave.

"call!"

The huge body passed over Ilumi's head, and landed with a loud "bang". He turned around as he landed, and his hard and sharp tentacles inserted into the walls on both sides. Due to the strong inertia, they even drew sparks on the rocks.

"Zizzizi..."

Sparks flew from the walls.

Finally, it stopped forty meters away from Yilumi.

A man and a beast stood looking at each other.
