Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

Ilumi's eyes were fixed on Bastian. He could see the unwillingness and anger in the other man's eyes, but he chose to endure it after all.

Based on the current balance of power between Balkimoa and the World Government, this choice is undoubtedly the right one, but...

Ilumi looked at the financial officer Sasha next to him. This woman had not spoken since Bastian's actual negotiation. He didn't know what she thought about this.

"Come to my office and talk."

Noticing the look in Ilumi's eyes, Financial Officer Sasha said, then took two straight long legs and strode towards the door.

"Sasha..."

When Bastian heard this, he looked up at Sasha's back and hesitated to speak.

"It seems that the rumors among the people are true, and there is indeed a gap between the three leaders."

Ilumi stood up with a smile, turned around and followed in the footsteps of Financial Officer Sasha.

Although the two were in the same camp, the quaestor directly conveyed a completely different message from the consul. The quaestor did not reject the proposal that the consul rejected, or did not reject it face to face.

Bastian watched Sasha and Ilumi disappear outside the gate. He couldn't help but press his temples with a headache. He opened the drawer and took out an envelope with the World Government logo.

The envelope has been opened and the contents have been read. It was this letter from the World Government that made the three of them have different opinions.

In the passage, Sasha led Ilumi and the others towards the passage on the far right. Many government employees saw Finance Officer Sasha and greeted her.

Soon, the four people arrived at the financial officer's office.

Entering the office, Sasha sat gracefully on the office chair, pointed to the only other office chair in front of him, and Ilumi bent down and sat down.

"Just treat what I said just now as falling on deaf ears."

"Bastian is an old stubborn man who is a little too afraid of the World Government."

"However, he also thinks about Balkimoa's safety."

"But you came at a bad time. We haven't had time to discuss the unseen future recently because a colleague made a mistake."

"Error?" Yilumi asked: "The rumored suspension of construction of the [Calidos] project?"

"It seems that you know everything. You have worked very hard to collect intelligence. It has been less than twenty-four hours since you entered the country, but you have already completed the investigation of the basic situation in Balkimoa."

"Your men are very capable."

Sasha glanced at Envi and Kim Bradley standing behind Ilumi.

"What do you think of the cooperation I just proposed?"

Ilumi changed the topic to cooperation, but Financial Officer Sasha never expressed his views.

"To be honest, I'm very excited." A smile appeared on Sasha's beautiful and fair face, "But before that, I need you to do something and investigate a person."

"Balkimoa's technical officer, Kain?"

Ilumi asked.

"That's right." Sasha nodded with a serious expression, "Balkimoa has three leaders. Bastian is in charge of administration, I am in charge of finance, and Kain is in charge of technology."

"We are all working hard for the future and prosperity of Balkimoa, but recently Kain has been a little too aggressive and too obsessed with force."

"The extremist Guards who blindly worship him are also a problem."

"My Intelligence Ministry agents have investigated that the Science Ministry's Guards are executing a secret plan, but further details cannot be investigated clearly."

"So, I would like to entrust you to investigate what the Science Department is doing."

"Gest!"

After Sasha finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and a blond female employee in a black uniform walked in.

"Take them to the Science Department."

Sasha ordered to his subordinates, and the clerk named Geist nodded solemnly.

"If you find out the mission of the Ministry of Science Guards, then I will consider agreeing to your proposed cooperation."

"Of course, the premise is that you have the corresponding strength to cooperate with us."

Sasha stared at Ilumi with a cold tone.

"Although I don't like to be passive, but...it's not bad to come here once in a while, and I'm also very interested in your science department."

Ilumi raised the corner of his mouth, stood up slowly, turned towards the door, and left the office with the staff.

The three people were led by the blond staff to the elevator, and took the elevator to the top floor of the municipal building. What appeared in front of the three people was a separate monorail train.

But unlike the public monorails used by citizens, the monorail here has four seats, just enough for four people.

And this is a circular track built over the city that can circle the entire city.

"Is there such a thing?"

The three of them got on the monorail and watched the blond employee perform some simple operations in front of an electronic screen on the train before sitting back down.

After a breath, the monorail started, moving at a gradually increasing speed.

In less than ten minutes, Yilumi and others arrived at their destination, a building as tall as the municipal building.

The blond employee took the three people in the elevator to the first floor of the building. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw a black-haired boy in a black uniform standing at the door.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The black-haired boy greeted the blond employee.

"It's not me this time, it's them." The four of them walked out of the elevator. The blond staff looked at the three of them and said, "Follow him, and he will take you to the core of the Science Department."

"Not Agent Geist?" The black-haired boy turned to the three of Ilumi, looked at them roughly, and said with surprise: "Are they three outsiders this time? Your Excellency the Financial Officer is really bold."

"But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who comes. I've already received my reward anyway."

"Come with me."

The black-haired boy winked at the Ilumi trio and led them out of the lobby.

The three of them followed the black-haired boy, while the blond employee returned to the elevator.

Ilumi glanced back at the passage deep in the lobby. There were many researchers in white uniforms coming in and out. This was probably the main entrance of the Science Department.

"I don't know why, but the atmosphere in the Science Department has been a little unusual recently. So I don't recommend going through the front door or the back door."

The black-haired boy noticed Ilumi's movements and explained softly.

"I have mastered the passage to the underground area of ​​​​the Ministry of Science. The passage used to manage the equipment is under this building."

The black-haired boy said proudly, and led the three of them out of the building. They walked around the building for a long time and found a mail device in a hidden corner. He took out something like a USB flash drive from his pocket and inserted it into the mail device. , there was a burst of garbled characters on the electronic screen.

"Click~!"

Then, a hidden door next to the mail device opened. The black-haired boy grinned proudly, took out the "USB flash drive" inserted in the mail device, and pointed at the door.

"This is the safety door of the Science Department. Entering here is the underground area of ​​the Science Department."

The black-haired boy waved his hand as he spoke, signaling the three of them to follow him, and the four of them entered the security door together.

The four of them entered the security door and walked down a dark passage.

Three minutes later, a ray of light came into view, and the four of them quickened their pace.

"Uh-huh!"

The four of them walked out of the passage, and there was a dazzling white light outside. The black-haired boy couldn't help but close his eyes, but the three of them adapted instantly and looked around.

This is a bright and transparent underground space. When you look down, you will see that the entire underground space has an unknown number of levels, filled with densely packed suspended metal bridges and pipes, as well as a large number of large cylindrical equipment that have never been seen before.

The space below was filled with a layer of hazy white light, making it difficult to see what was underneath.

"hurry up."

The black-haired boy adapted to the bright light. After opening his eyes, he ran directly to the left, running quickly along a suspended metal bridge, and soon came to a large equipment.

"This is the wiring equipment of the underground passage. Only by getting it right can you successfully reach the core area."

As the black-haired boy spoke, his hands and fingers turned into afterimages and operated on the device buttons. Lines of code were skipped quickly, making it difficult for the eyes to see.

"Okay, next is the communication equipment."

The black-haired boy finished operating the wiring equipment, turned around and came to a communication device, inserted the "USB disk" again, and danced quickly on the communication device.

"This communication equipment is connected to the development and installation inspection device in the underground area. You don't have a personal open code. If you enter rashly, the alarm system will be triggered and you will be discovered immediately."

The black-haired boy explained while operating.

"After verification, the channel will be opened."

Suddenly, a synthesized electronic sound came from the communication device. The black-haired boy took out the "u" disk, turned around and threw a black card to Yilumi.

"What's this?"

Ilumi reached out to catch it and asked.

"Here is the code used to steal the SS mission information. You only need to insert it into the management computer of the Science Department to get the SS mission information."

"Next, you just need to follow the opened passage and you will be able to reach the underground core area of ​​the Ministry of Science, where Technical Officer Kain is."

"By the way, the management computer is a cat-like robot."

"You must remember it well, but don't remember it wrong."

"Then, my mission ends here, I wish you good luck."

The black-haired boy saluted the three of them very casually, turned around and went back.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome." Envi scratched his head and said impatiently: "Why are we crawling into the underground passage like rats? Just go and see that Kain."

"Well, I'm very curious about the situation of the Science Department." Yilumi glanced at this huge underground space and said with a smile: "Go directly to see it, we won't have access to these things."

"The financial officer's purpose is not simple. Her intelligence agents have such abilities, and there is no need for us to investigate." Kim Bradley frowned and said: "I'm afraid the conflict between them and the technical officer Kain is more serious than the folk rumors. It’s much bigger.”

"Sometimes, you can only master the vortex by going deep into the vortex." Yilumi looked down at the black card in his hand, which was engraved with dense and neat lines. "Since we are pulled into this vortex, the outcome of this vortex is already doomed. ”

"Let's go."

Yilumi put away the black card, and the three of them ran quickly on the suspended metal bridges in the underground space. The speed was astonishing. In less than five minutes, they crossed the fifth floor and reached the sixth underground floor.

There are no metal bridges on the sixth floor, but spacious passages like the ground. The passages are carpeted and cleaning robots patrol back and forth in the passages.

But when Ilumi passed by these cleaning robots, they didn't react at all. It seemed that the black-haired boy's method of communication equipment was working.

The three of them made three consecutive turns in the sixth-floor passage and came to a palace-like place. There were a large number of bookcases, a long table in the middle, and a robot in the corner that was sorting the bookcases. books inside.

This robot is suspended in the air ten centimeters above the ground. Its lower body is a cylinder, its right arm is in the shape of a round barrel, the port emits a faint blue cold light, and its left arm is made of a large number of black cables.

Black cables floated in the air like tentacles, organizing books one after another.

There was nothing on the robot's face except a pair of electronic eyes that emitted a cold blue light. Looking at the top of its head, there were two cat ears that trembled from time to time on both sides of its head.

"A cat-like robot that manages computers?"

Yilumi saw the cat ears on both sides of the robot's head and immediately strode towards the robot.

"Uh-huh!"

But just as Ilumi and the others approached him, the cat-eared robot suddenly turned around and faced the Ilumi and the others.

"blow!"

The moment the robot turned around, Ilumi's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only Kim Bradley and Envi.

The cat-eared robot's electronic eyes shot out a cold blue light that scanned the entire bodies of Envy and Kim Bradley. With a "click" sound, the cannon barrel on the right arm of the cat-eared robot split open, and the muzzle was pointed at Envy and Kim Bradley.

"Zizzi..."

A blue current suddenly appeared in the cracked muzzle.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a black card was violently inserted into the slot on the back of the cat-eared robot's head. The cat-eared robot paused, and slowly lowered its raised right arm. The cracked muzzle closed again, and the current dissipated.

"Kaka...kaka..."

The cat-eared robot's head twisted, its electronic eyes emitting a cold blue light suddenly turned red, and an electronic synthesized sound came from its body.

“Even if [Calidos] construction is interrupted, our plans will continue.”

"We must unswervingly believe in Lord Kain and continue to perform our tasks. If you want to view the current tasks, please enter the password."

After the words fell, the head of the cat-eared robot twisted again and continued:

Guard mission directory:

- Personnel who have not received the task need to wait for new instructions;

-Those who receive the order quickly hand over the initial information of [Calidos] and destroy subsequent materials;

- "Doctor" ensures the power needed for [Calidos];

-The "Archer" captures the energy needed by the "Sun";

- "Gemini" recovers the research results of "Priest";

-"Policewomen" guard the door and control public opinion;

Please remember that technology is our pride and evolution is our theme.
