Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Okay, let's go."

Just as Madge was feeling frightened, Julius's voice sounded again.

"Uh-huh!"

At the same time, everything in Madge's field of vision was upside down, and in a trance, she had returned to reality.

"Was that...an hallucination just now?" Madge blinked, feeling unreal to everything around him.

"Little girl!"

When Madge was still in a dream-like feeling, Caesar suddenly shouted and said:

"If you don't follow him, you won't be able to see him."

Madge immediately came to her senses and found that Julius' figure was almost out of the base platform.

"Thank you!"

Madge thanked Caesar and Eric, took a final look at Pride, then turned around and trotted after him, following Julius and gradually disappearing from their sight.

"Let's go too, it's very lively today, let's join in the fun."

Eric said and waved to the distance, and immediately a black multi-purpose SUV drove over. Eric opened the door and sat in the back seat. When he turned around, Caesar stood still with a look on his face. Smoking calmly.

"Looking at you, you seem to have something to do."

Eric looked at Caesar's calm appearance, and then glanced at the cigarette butts at his feet.

In just two or three minutes, I have smoked three cigarettes, and now I have the fourth cigarette in my mouth.

"But...so do I."

Eric stretched out his hand to hold the handle inside the car door, closed the door with a bang, started the engine, and gradually moved away.

"I'll give you the command of a supporting defense force. Use it as you wish."

Pride left a word and turned to leave.

Caesar was left smoking alone.

"Um?"

"Have you finished smoking?"

I don't know if ten or twenty minutes had passed. Caesar took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to shake one out and put it in his mouth. However, he realized that there were no more cigarettes in it. When he looked at his feet, there were already piles of cigarette butts.

"Bang...bang...bang..."

At this time, a twelve-man defense force appeared on the platform and came to Caesar in neat steps.

"Sir, I am Ilyich Miles of the Assistance Defense Force."

"The Commander-in-Chief ordered that we will be under your command from today on."

A burly man walked out and reported to Caesar.

"Prepare the car, let's go to Shimazu City."

Caesar glanced at the defense force in front of him. Although there were few people, his actions were just enough.

"Yes, sir!"

Ilyich stood at attention, saluted, and ordered his men to prepare vehicles and supplies.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the central plain of the island country, on the highway one hundred kilometers away from Shimadzu City.

"yeah~"

A red and white van was driving at high speed, with current popular songs playing in the cab. The driver's shoulders were swaying to the rhythm of the song, and he was humming along. He seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Ahem..."

In the carriage of the truck, in addition to a carriage of goods, there were seven people lying in shabby clothes.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise in the carriage and a fist mark appeared outside.

"Wojin!"

“Don’t do unnecessary things and focus on recovery.”

In the darkness, Chrollo opened his eyes and said calmly.

"hateful!"

"I didn't expect five of us to die in one mission!"

"The group was almost wiped out!"

Wo Jin sat with his back against the wall of the carriage. Covered in blood, he could not calmly recover his strength. Instead, he punched the wall of the carriage to vent his anger.

"Four people, not five people!" Paknoda corrected in a voice: "Machi is not dead."

"She finally turned into a ball of light and flew away."

"Ah! It must be the function of that bracelet!"

The knight suddenly spoke up.

"Hmph~!"

Then he clutched his abdomen and groaned in pain. There was also a penetrating wound in his abdomen, and the pain was unbearable.

"It turns out that bracelet has that kind of function. If I had known it, I would have used Madge's light to ask for one from those people."

The knight sat on the box next to Wo Jin, panting slightly.

"Damn it, if the leader and Feitan hadn't exploded at the same time this time, we would all be dead!"

Nobunaga's voice sounded in the darkness.

"It's a pity that we couldn't kill that monster completely!"

"Feitan's abilities are not invincible."

Finks also sighed.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Feitan's hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly sounded, "If you don't hurry up and recover your strength, you won't even have a second chance to escape."

"Feitan is right." The knight comforted everyone: "We have been on the run for nearly twenty hours. We should recover our strength as soon as possible and find a place to stay in Shimazu City to treat our injuries."

"Why are you going to Shimazu City?" Wo Jin asked.

"Because Shimazu City is the capital of the island country." The knight panted slightly and replied: "Because this mimicry incident seems to have attracted the attention of several major countries due to the appearance of large-scale monsters."

"Today many big names are gathering in Shimadzu City, the capital of the island nation. The security there must be very good now."

"The mimic may not dare to chase it there. We can rest in peace and recover."

"Where did you get all this information?" Nobunaga asked doubtfully.

"rustle……"

There was a temporary silence in the darkness, replaced by a subtle "rustling" sound.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang~"

The knight took out a mobile phone from his bag, opened the search software and waved it in front of his face, smiling proudly:

"The Internet is the most convenient thing in the world."

"Ahem..."

As soon as the knight finished speaking, he coughed violently.

"Really, I'm glad you were able to watch the news during such a tense moment."

"I've got you, internet addicted boy."

Nobunaga leaned his head back against the wall of the carriage, with a mixture of helplessness and joy in his tone.

"Stop talking, knight." Pikenota said: "Everyone is seriously injured, let's rest."

The car was quiet again, except for the faint sound of music coming from the cab from time to time.

"Du...du..."

After a moment, the phone in the knight's hand suddenly vibrated, and the screen lit up with white light.

"Telephone?"

The knight opened his eyes, raised his phone and saw that the caller ID on the screen was Madge.

"What's wrong? Are you still free to answer other people's calls at this time?"

After hearing this, Finks also opened his eyes and looked at the knight. But the knight didn't speak, he just clicked the button, answered the call, and pressed the speakerphone.

"Knight, I'm here to find you!"

The call was connected, and Madge's voice came from the phone and echoed in the car.

"Marge!?"

The rest of the people in the car opened their eyes when they heard Madge's voice, and their eyes focused on the knight's mobile phone.

"Marge, you said you were coming to find us?"

"Um."

"But I remember that you were penetrated through the heart. Are you okay?"

"No problem, the medical experts at the headquarters performed the repair surgery on me."
