Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 17 Waiting for the Exam to Begin in the Cemetery

German put his hands on the steering wheel, like an old hand teaching a novice how to drive.

"Straighten the steering wheel, step on the brake lightly, and stop... I don't need to teach you these, right?"

The driver did as he was told, trembling, as the barrel of the musket was already on his shoulder, aimed at his temple.

When Yun Gu came over, German and the driver had already gotten out of the car.

The driver squatted on the ground with his hands on his head.

"I asked, and it turns out he's just an ordinary killer who can't even read. The exam is coming up, and I don't want to get into trouble. How should I deal with this guy?" German asked.

I didn't kill him directly...

Yun Gu glanced at Germain and replied:
"Just throw him here. There are hunters from the Hunter Association all around here, responsible for ensuring the normal order of this exam. They will come and capture him."

Germann looked at the crowd of onlookers and said, "Indeed, leave it to your people to handle."

So, German and Yun Gu left here and continued walking towards the church.

"You don't seem surprised by this assassination?" After walking for a while, Yun Gu finally couldn't help but ask.

"I'm used to it," German said. "If no one comes to assassinate me within two or three days, I'll feel uncomfortable."

"Yes...really?"

Is this the person who lives in the dark world?

Yun Gu was silent, and couldn't help but ponder the reason why Teacher Bisiji asked him to contact German.

With his respect for Mr. Bisiji, he believed that Mr. Bisiji would not make meaningless arrangements.

Teacher Biscuit has always thought that I am too upright. Perhaps, he wants me to learn something from German?
He would never have dreamed that Bisiji really didn't have time to come in person, so he asked his disciple who was very close to the examination room to do it on his behalf.

After entering the quaint and quiet church, Yun Gu went into the dark confessional, exchanged a few secret words, and then came out again.

"Okay, Mr. German, just keep going along this path and someone will take you into the examination room. I can only take you here."

"Okay. Thank you."

Yun Gu was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "You're welcome."

German walked a few steps around the confessional, then suddenly remembered something and walked back.

Yun Gu put his hands behind his back and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else you forgot to bring?"

German shook his head, but took out a stone as big as a head from his backpack and handed it to Yun Gu.

"This is what Biscuit specifically requested."

Yun Gu remembered his teacher's instructions and immediately took it with both hands.

The stone fell into his palm, and in just a few seconds, it turned the same color as his skin.

There really is a "magic gem". I thought Mr. Biscuit was using this as an excuse to let me meet Germain...

Teacher Biscuit, could it be that you really just don't have time to come, so you let me...

When Yun Gu thought of this possibility, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

After a long time, he looked up and was about to say thank you, but he saw that German had walked away, leaving him with only his back.

Germain?

At first he didn't understand why the teacher wanted to help German, but after actual contact, he more or less understood it.

German is not a completely bad guy, but he is certainly not a completely good guy either. He is more like a gray person.

Such people will neither completely adhere to order, nor completely embrace chaos, nor will they be neutral and sway between the two.

He already has a target to hunt and has the potential to become a first-class hunter.

On the other side, the priest in a jet-black robe opened the back door of the church for Germain, made the sign of the cross on his chest, and recited something silently.

German looked at the priest's wrinkled, old face for a few seconds. He didn't expect that in this new world, there are still people who believe in gods like God. There was a hazy fog behind the church, and it was difficult to see far away.

There was only a small red brick path extending from under your feet into the depths of the thick fog.

He walked along the flat red brick road.

When he was in the mist, he suddenly saw many gray-white stone slabs emerging on both sides, engraved with various strange patterns and unique texts.

tombstone……

It turns out that this is a quiet cemetery.

German continued to walk forward at a leisurely pace.

Soon, one moving black shadow after another appeared in front of us. When we got closer, we saw a group of men and women in different clothes.

They were standing not far away, and after noticing Germann, they looked him up and down warily, then turned their heads away, with very little communication between them.

It seems that they are all candidates coming to take the Hunter Examination.

German was looking around when a short figure approached him.

The man was wearing a black suit and white gloves.

But that face was not a human face, but a green face that looked more like a bean.

Bean-faced man, secretary of the Hunter Association, is one of the people that the eccentric President Netero trusts the most.

It doesn't necessarily mean "trust", but perhaps he is one of the people you like to tease and prank the most, which is also possible.

His personality is exactly the opposite of President Netero's, steady and gentle, and is indeed very suitable for secretary work.

"Hello."

The bean-faced man politely reached into the small basket he was carrying, took out a round white numbered tag and handed it to German.

"Please keep your number tag. You are candidate No. 233. It is best to wear it on your chest during the exam."

German took it and spun the number plate a few times with his fingers like a pen. Not noticing anything unusual, he put it on his chest.

At this time, another new candidate came out of the fog.

The bean-faced man immediately stepped forward with his short legs and followed the same procedure.

However, as soon as the bean-faced man left, another man approached.

"Hello."

A kind smile appeared on that chubby face.

"My name is Dongba, and I'm a candidate for the Hunter Exam like you. You look like a stranger, is this your first time taking the exam?"

It is actually normal that Dongba did not recognize German, who was in the limelight in the dark world.

Among the current members of the Phantom Troupe, except for the newcomer German, the rest, including Hisoka, are Class A wanted criminals, called "thieves", but most of the time they kill people and then rob them.

Similarly, the Zoldyck family’s slogan is “assassination”, but what they do more often is “open killing” and they rarely conceal their identities.

For their own purposes, they all need to make a name for themselves in the dark world.

However, whether it is the Phantom Troupe or the Zoldyck Family, it is not that someone can easily recognize them just by walking on the street.

Dongba didn't recognize Germain, but when Germain heard his name, he looked him up and down and quickly realized who he was.

It's not that he was famous, but that this guy had such a twisted personality that German remembers him vividly.

Dongba failed the hunter exam more than 30 times, so he became angry and targeted newcomers to make sure they failed the exam.

This is the so-called "newcomer killer".

His purpose in approaching Germain was obvious.
