The third round of the Hunter Exam was held far away from the original location. President Nitro lent his airship to transport the candidates who passed.
The rest who did not pass the test..,
Were repatriated on the spot.
Following everyone onto the airship, Su Yu looked around.
Leaving Silluff aside, he went to the cafeteria of the airship and took away some food.
Then she hid in a small lounge alone.
After making sure that there were no suspicious surveillance devices in this small room, Su Yu took out the key from her pocket and opened the door of the shop.
Carefully closing the door, Su Yu, who returned to a familiar place, instantly relaxed.
She called the girl's name and walked into the shop. "The takeout is here. Kyōko shouldn't have eaten yet, right?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening,
The girl with short brown hair had already walked out with a pair of plush slippers.
Seeing Su Yu's teasing smile, Kyoko Sasakawa showed a funny expression. "Then Su Yu is late. I just cleaned up the lunch, but I'm looking forward to tonight."
She stepped forward and took the plate in the girl's hand.
Then she asked, "How's the situation outside? Is the world more dangerous this time?"
"It's okay. Kyōko doesn't have to be too nervous."
Su Yu squinted her eyes and smiled.
She casually took a small biscuit on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
She said vaguely.
"Although there is a certain degree of danger, it's nothing so far. The more difficult thing is probably how to hide my identity."
Although she gradually felt that there would not be any big problems if she did not hide like this, after all, she did not have much experience in getting along with people. It was better to be an enemy and directly force the other party to return the goods.
However, the direction she decided on at the beginning was not like this. She still did not want to make the situation so tense immediately.
"Seriously, Saiki, that guy …" Su Yu couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the person who had caused her current predicament. The look in the corner of her eyes was a little complicated, but it quickly disappeared. Even her sigh was so light that it was as if it had never existed.
Kyōko, who was tidying up the things Su Yu brought back, did not hear the girl's sigh. After expressing her amazement at the several otherworld ingredients, she began to put away the things on the table one by one.
After confirming that Kyōko's life was fine, Su Yu said goodbye to her and returned to the front hall. She picked out some of her props and closed the door.
After a short rest, the airship arrived at its destination — — a high tower on an isolated island. The airship stopped at the top of the tower. Looking down from the edge of the tower, it seemed that the tower was dozens of stories high from the land.
Su Yu walked two steps around the tower curiously. Then, she heard Sirów calling her from behind.
She turned her head and saw the black-haired youth with a bitter smile on his face. He seemed to be looking at her worriedly and beckoned her to his side.
She turned her head to look at the scenery at her feet. Only then did she remember that Sirów seemed to have a certain degree of acrophobia.
She was the one who saved him. No matter what, it was only right for the two of them to form a team. Su Yu did not have any objections and walked towards the direction of the youth.
But before she could take two steps, the brick under her feet suddenly flipped. Before Su Yu could react, she had already fallen down.
It turned out that the top of the tower was filled with such mechanisms. After standing still, Su Yu scanned her surroundings. After waiting for a long time, she did not see any signs of anyone coming down. She blinked and looked at the only door in this room.
On the other hand, after witnessing the entire process of Su Yu falling down, Sirów was stunned for a moment. Then, he revealed a look of understanding.
He looked around and did not seem to find any similar mechanisms near where the girl fell. Since he had lost this opportunity, he straightened his body and walked in another direction.
When Vivian jumped down from an unknown mechanism, she saw the black-haired youth leaning against the wall. That person was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His soft black hair covered his forehead. At first glance, he seemed somewhat familiar, but she felt like she had never seen him before.
Probably because his appearance was too ordinary, that was why she felt that he looked familiar.
Thinking of this, the girl shook the dust off her body. Without saying a word, she turned her head to look at the description of the trial. But before she could read a few words, the black-haired youth suddenly spoke, "Vivian, it's me."
That voice was too familiar. She had heard it for so many years. At this time, she instantly realized the true identity of the man in front of her. Vivian's eyes suddenly widened. She could not help but confirm with surprise, "Leader?!"
"Yes," Sirów nodded slightly, admitting his true identity. He straightened up and explained to the girl, "I saw that you were around those people before, so I didn't have the chance to tell you that I'm here too."
"But, but leader, weren't you not interested before?" Vivian asked with a little surprise. She could not help but take a few steps forward. "When we were in the Kuluta Clan, didn't you look for …"
"That's before," Sirów smiled and interrupted her. "Knowing the future is one of our great advantages. If the original future was changed a few years ago, then everything that happens now will become unpredictable. I just want to maximize the value of what you know."
At this time, the young man's smile was completely different from before. Although it was still gentle, the curve of his mouth had changed subtly. It was no longer as comforting as before. Instead, it had become deep and profound as if he was secretly planning something.
And it was this perfect curve that suddenly became different in the eyes of the girl. Although his facial features were not familiar to her, all this did not prevent her eyes from overflowing with love. That person's every move was so charming in her eyes. And this charm did not come from any outstanding appearance, but from the depth of his character. It was so sexy that it made people addicted.
She did not regret coming to his side at all. She gave up the life arrangement that could have led her a stable life and chose to drag her young body into a ghost place like Meteor Street alone.
There was no doubt that she was lucky. She survived and did indeed get what she wanted. She gained his trust and stood in front of him. And this man did indeed have a charm that made people give up everything for him. For him, it seemed that all the unimaginable suffering she had experienced in the past had become worth it.
Taking in the admiration of the girl in front of him, Sirów, or rather Culolo Lucilu, silently lowered his eyebrows and talked with her about other trivial matters. The two exchanged information as they began the test of the Cheap Well Tower.
"I noticed that there was a girl among the candidates." Soon after, Kulolo mentioned what had happened to him some time ago. "She seemed to be very interested in you. She seems to be from the same place as you. Do you remember her, Vivian?"
"Came from the same place?" The blue-haired girl blinked. She then realized that there was indeed a rather strange person among the candidates. She frowned slightly and said, "Maybe it's true. I'm not sure if there's anyone else in this world who has been reborn like me."
Thinking back, Jie and Qi Yun seemed to be concerned about a candidate that they did not know, but she did not find the opportunity to ask. Thinking about it, there was no doubt that it was the same person.
"Well, there are some things about her that I am very interested in, so I want to ask Vivian if you know anything about her." Culolo dodged a rolling stone without changing his expression. After a while, he added, "She called herself Su Yu."
"Su Yu …" Vivian followed behind Culolo and dodged the trap. She could not help but repeat the name. "I really miss the pronunciation."
She had not said such a simple two syllables for too long.
However, she could not think of anything with just a name. She could only silently remember the two syllables in her heart.
But after this silence, the two of them had nothing to talk about. Taking advantage of a pause, the girl hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to mention the grocery store to him.
"When I first came here, I visited a grocery store." She weighed her words carefully, trying to clearly explain the scene that was like a dream. "It seems that it is only open to souls from another world like me. It is a kind of compensation brought by the rules. There are a lot of strange abilities in the store. The thing that interests you about Su Yu was probably exchanged with your lifespan from that store."
"Exchange with lifespan as a bargaining chip?" Culolo pursed his lips and smiled. "Sounds interesting."
In response to such an evaluation, Vivian could only twitch the corner of her mouth with a complicated expression. She did not know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate to have such an opportunity to trade. "It's okay … My current weapon and the item that can produce unlimited food when I was on Meteor Street were all exchanged from that store."
To a large extent, without those items, she would not have lived to this day. But this also meant that she did not have much time left in her life.
"Then, other than these items, what else can be exchanged?" The black-haired young man blinked and asked jokingly. "For example, beauty. Can it be exchanged easily?"
Vivian's heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly tried to explain herself. "S-Yes, I could, but I didn't. I've already sacrificed too much to survive …" She looked at the young girl's face with a hint of a smile in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly tried to explain herself.
Of course, that was what she said. In fact, how could she not exchange for any increase in her appearance?
After seeing what the peak of beauty could achieve, no one could continue to tolerate their ordinary appearance, especially when the opportunity to easily change was in front of them.
But these things, Culolo did not need to know.
The nervous Vivian didn't notice that after hearing her words, Ku Luoluo revealed an amused expression and couldn't help but murmur to himself, "That's right.
