A few hours later, the passageway still seemed to have no end. Only the running footsteps of the many examinees could be heard in the pitch-black passageway, as well as the sound of everyone's breathing.
At this time, Ito Sei, who had been following at the end of the line unhurriedly, noticed the change around him. A guy who was dressed like Zhou Libo and looked like Zhou Libo, but was fatter, was sweating profusely. His eyes were dull, and he was walking mechanically. It seemed that he was about to fall out of the line.
At this moment, three guys dressed like a circus troupe with a bunch of tattoos on their faces ran up to the fat guy and started mocking him.
"Hehehehe …"
"Hey! You're new. "
"You're so useless."
"We've only been running for six hours."
"This is the first time I've seen someone who can't do it."
"This is so embarrassing. You're the most useless guy I've ever seen. You're the weakest person I've ever seen in the Hunter Test."
"You're too weak. Stupid pig, go home and eat old rice."
The three of them said harsh words one after another, exaggerating some objective facts to attack the fat guy's mentality until he collapsed on his knees.
Sei Itō and the other candidates watched the three of them in silence. Sei Itō thought to himself, If all the candidates are like this, it doesn't matter if I kill them!
For a moment, Ito Sei seemed to have made up his mind. His eyes changed, and he slowed down his pace, moving closer to the three people.
"Shera, good job!" Dongba, who was known as the Rookie Killer, praised the three of them.
"Well said. I don't think that kid will come back again. He's actually quite promising," one of the three said.
"Lying to hurt people really makes my heart ache." The one who looked like the eldest of the three brothers joked with a teasing tone.
"Dongba, you're best at seeing through other people's weaknesses," another one of the three said.
"Hehe, that's my only goal in life," Dongba said proudly.
At this moment, there was a change in front of the passageway. An endless flight of stairs replaced the cement road, extending upwards with no end in sight.
While everyone's attention was attracted, Ito Sei instantly came to the side of the three brothers. His hand turned into a black shadow and flashed instantly. Then, he turned around and did the same thing behind the other two guys. Then, he looked at Dongba, who was obviously on guard against him. When he got close to the three brothers, he had already run ahead. Only then did he speed up and return to the group.
As for the three brothers, they continued to run with the team as if nothing had happened. However, they did not notice that as they ran, their breathing began to become heavy and rapid. Their originally sweatless bodies began to sweat, as if they had begun to push themselves to their limits.
As the stairs became steeper and steeper, the stamina consumption also became greater and greater. More and more examinees began to fall from the line, lying on the stairs weakly as they gasped for breath. However, Sei Itō did not attack again. Instead, he quickly passed by them and chased after the team in front.
Behind him, the three brothers also fell to the ground with pale faces after a long climb. Then, the three of them felt an immense pain from their hearts at the same time. It felt like they were being bitten by millions of ants. The three of them curled up in pain and twitched all over.
Dongba, who saw all of this, had a look of horror in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and his face was instantly covered in cold sweat. The three brothers quickly left and chased after the team without looking back.
After a moment, the three of them screamed hoarsely and their lives ended.
[Killed three examinee brothers. Received less Power of the World]
No matter what, the three brothers were still at the level of minor characters. As characters who were more important than ordinary people in the operation of the world, they had more or less gathered some Power of the World.
Sei Itō did not pay attention to the Rubik's Cube's information. He just ran silently.
Finally, after running for an unknown amount of time, and no one cared about the passage of time, a bright spot suddenly appeared in front of them. All of the examinees became alert and knew that the exit was near.
Sure enough, after running for quite some distance, the examinees finally ran out of the long tunnel that seemed to have no end. What welcomed them was an endless forest and warm sunlight.
"What is this place?" an examinee asked loudly as he looked at the forest in front of him.
"This is the Lost Beauty Wetland. Most people call it the [Swindler's Lair]. This is the path that you must pass to enter the second experiment venue." The examiner looked at the examinee and smiled.
"This wetland has many rare birds and beasts that are not found in the outside world. Most of them live by eating human flesh and are cunning and greedy by nature. Everyone, please follow me closely. If you accidentally fall into a trap, you will die! "
Hearing the examiner's words, the examinees' expressions became tense. On the other hand, Sei Itō secretly moved his finger. A weak spiritual energy shot towards the examiner and attached itself to his body.
Although Sei Itō did it very secretly, the spiritual energy's aura still attracted a few people's attention. After all, spiritual energy was very similar to telepathy to a certain extent. Among them were Sei Itō, Jigu Ata, and the examiner himself. However, the examiner did not pay any attention to them. He only glanced at Sei Itō. On the other hand, Sei Itō looked at Sei Itō with an interested expression. It looked very ambiguous. Jigu Ata twisted his machine-like neck and made a "kaka kaka kaka" sound before ignoring Sei Itō.
When Sei Itō realized that he had been noticed by Sei Itō, his expression became tense. He ignored him and prepared to follow closely behind the examiner. He did not want to be played to death by Sei Itō in the Wetland.
"Bang!" The tunnel behind them was blocked by a metal door. All the examinees who had yet to come out were sealed inside.
"The creatures in the Wetland will unscrupulously hunt for split objects to enter their stomachs! They can deceive split objects to obtain items. This unique environment has given the wetland the nickname 'Deceiver's Lair'. Please be careful and follow closely behind me, "the examiner said sternly to the examinees.
Just when some of the examinees were disagreeing with the examiner's words, a shout was heard. "He's a liar! This person is lying!"
Then, a person covered in injuries walked out from the side. He pointed at the examiner and shouted, "This person is an imposter. He's not the real examiner. The real examiner is me!"
"Imposter? What's going on? "One of the examinees asked.
"That person is?" Another examinee looked between the two of them in confusion.
"If you don't believe me, look! It's a human-faced ape that lives in the Lost Beauty Wetland. The human-faced ape loves to eat human flesh. However, because its limbs are thin and weak, it often works overtime to disguise itself as a human. It will lure humans into the wetland and join forces with other creatures to hunt for food! This guy's goal is to kill all the examinees who are participating in the exam. " The injured man explained loudly. However, there were obviously many loopholes in his story. He had already taken the initiative to disrupt the examinees' thoughts and make them unable to distinguish the truth.
For example, as an examiner, how could he be defeated by the human-faced ape? Was his strength fake? If he didn't have the strength, how could he bring the examinees to the second exam venue? Alright, we can say that there is a safe passage. But if they could defeat you, why didn't they eat you? Even if you were skilled enough to escape, what's up with the human-faced ape in your hands? If two human-faced apes were able to beat you up like this, then how could they have let you escape! In short, there were many questions that puzzled the examinees.
Just when the examinees couldn't distinguish who was real and who was fake, a few poker cards suddenly flew out. A portion of them accurately flew in front of the injured man and stabbed into his face without any suspense. Another portion flew towards the examiner and was caught by him. Finally, two poker cards flew towards Sei Itō and were dodged by Sei Itō.
