Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Crash..."

The drizzle gradually turned into a downpour, and a large number of black threads quietly shot out from Yilumi's feet, condensing into an umbrella to cover Yilumi's head to prevent her whole body from getting wet in the heavy rain.

The gatekeeper was still silently checking the text on the photo.

"What do you want from the Dark Continent?"

Suddenly, the gatekeeper who was looking at the ancient text asked.

"everything."

Ilumi replied without hesitation.

When the gatekeeper heard this, his expression froze and his arms shook slightly. The photo left his hand and flew toward Ilumi with a "whoosh" sound.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The shadows shot out from under Ilumi's feet turned into arms, catching the photos easily.

"Everything is too greedy." The gatekeeper turned around, and his hoarse voice reached Illumi's ears through the strong wind and heavy rain, "I can only give you one suggestion, go to the north."

"But beware of the things that live there, they are discarded useless things."

"Useless thing?" Yilumi frowned and said, "Don't fool me, I want specific information."

"What's in the north? What's useless?"

"I don't want to make it clear... I just want to explore your lair today."

Yilumi's attitude suddenly became strong. He didn't like people going around in circles and saying unclear things to him.

The gatekeeper who had just turned around paused and looked at Ilumi with his two big copper bell-like eyes, a little surprised in his pupils.

When those humans came into contact with him in the past, as long as he said some riddle-like words like he just did, they would be immersed in the strange thinking of solving the riddle, and then leave on their own.

But today this one doesn’t seem to work.

"Don't doubt it. The purpose of my coming here this time is not just to get a little bit of information from you that I don't know whether it is true or false."

"There are now seven warships and fourteen Night Crow aircraft off the coast of this island. The firepower they carry is enough to completely cover the entire island."

Ilumi held the five fingers of his right hand empty, his face expressionless.

The red film on the gatekeeper's pupils flashed, Enwei's expression changed, and he immediately turned to face the door, ready to transform into the second state at any time.

But facing the threat from Ilumi, the gatekeeper just blinked and made no move.

"In the very north of the human world, after arriving at the Dark Continent and heading north for thousands of kilometers, there is a huge city called Ragnarok."

"That city is called [Twilight City], and there are a large number of biological weapons left over from the legendary civilization."

"I only know so much, you need to explore it yourself."

In the end, the gatekeeper told Ilumi the information he knew, and he was unable to know the extra information.

"This is also trivial information. It cannot satisfy me at all." Yilumi said expressionlessly: "As a sub-human intelligent race from the Dark Continent, the information we have is only this."

Faced with Ilumi's disdainful words, the gatekeeper remained indifferent.

"Because of your behavior four years ago when you abandoned humans and traveled alone, we no longer trust you."

"Starting from today, we will build a base on this island to be used as a strategic base for human exploration of the Dark Continent." Yilumi put the photo back into his underwear pocket and said coldly: "As for the gatekeeper clan, Just cooperate with our actions.”

"In this case, the area you occupy now still belongs to you for your clan to continue."

"In that operation four years ago, the Gatekeeper clan did not violate the agreement." The Gatekeeper said, "The situation at that time was that your ship was damaged, and the guide judged that your people would not return to the human world. possibility, so I chose to return alone.”

“This is your own problem and cannot be blamed on the guides and gatekeepers.”

"We are only responsible for leading the way, not protecting you."

"Ah, really?" Yilumi spread his arms indifferently, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I just found an excuse for not wanting to cooperate with you."

“We have mastered the technology of getting back and forth, and gatekeepers and guides are no longer important to us.”

"Have you mastered the technology to travel to and from the Dark Continent?" The gatekeeper's eyes suddenly froze when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, a roar suddenly came from outside.

"Ho~!"

The deafening roar of the guide penetrated the storm and reached the ears of Ilumi and the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper's expression changed slightly, while Ilumi raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"But it's not impossible for us to continue to cooperate. You should think about it carefully."

"Buzz buzz..."

As he finished speaking, a Night Crow aircraft appeared in the mid-air above Ilumi's head.

"Ho~!"

The strange sound of the engine made the guide outside the door furious. He just grabbed the high wall with his arms and jumped towards the Night Crow aircraft hovering in the sky above Ilumi.

But when the guide's body was about to touch the Night Crow aircraft, the muzzle at the front of the Night Crow aircraft burst out with a blazing white light.

"blow!"

The blazing white light turned into a laser beam and instantly pierced the center of the guide's chest, once again piercing a huge bloody hole in his restored chest.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the guide fell heavily behind the gatekeeper, kicking up dirt all over the sky.

"Chichi..."

Not only that, white smoke was still coming out of the wound on the guide's chest. The inside of the wound was scorched black, without a trace of blood flowing out, and the flesh and blood inside was obviously burnt.

"Hoo...ho..."

The guide was lying on the dirty rain-covered ground, wailing, his arms scratching at the wound on his chest, looking in agony.

"That's it for today's conversation. I'll come back again."

Ilumi said to the gatekeeper, and then the bottom hatch of the Night Crow aircraft above his head opened with a click, and two black ropes with discs at the ends ejected from it.

Ilumi and Enwei stood on the disk, and together with the rope, they retracted into the Night Crow aircraft, and disappeared into the vast storm with a strange engine sound.

The gatekeeper looked up and stared at the sky where the Night Crow aircraft disappeared, wondering what he was thinking.

After a moment, he turned his attention to the guide lying on the ground and wailing. He squatted down in front of the guide and reached out to touch the long green hair on its body.

"Let's go back."

Without any movement from him, the guide turned into white smoke and gradually disappeared into the air.

Immediately, the gatekeeper stood up and walked towards the huge volcano alone.

"Will humans eventually break through and abandon this world?"

In the vast storm, the gatekeeper's hoarse voice drifted into the distance with the howling wind.
