Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 20 Candidates Eliminated by Germain

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

A faint sound of breaking air came to my ears.

Germann didn't even bother to look, he turned his head to avoid three poisonous needles flying towards him, then pretended to pull out a meat saw from his arms, turned around and chopped off the heads of two venomous snakes that crawled to his side!
"My snake!" Scar Peng, with his head wrapped in gray cloth, shouted in panic.

Greta, who had dark skin and shot out poisonous needles, changed her expression slightly and took a step back.

They are all candidates for this hunter exam.

Not long ago, the "new killer" Dongba approached them and proposed cooperation.

Instead of searching for the card all over Yanisha City like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to go together in front of the church, intercept the candidates returning here, and take away the card.

Dongba has a strong laxative, Greta has a poisonous needle that paralyzes the torso, and Bapeng has terrible snake venom. These three experts in using poison hide in the crowd and select their prey together.

In this way, they have successfully seized two cards, and only the last one is left, so they can go find Izenabi.

However, this time they waited for a long time but no one came. When their patience was almost exhausted, German appeared.

However, the three of them had different opinions on whether to attack German.

Greta was against attacking Germain, but Dongba was angry because Germain had threatened him with a musket before, and he tried his best to instigate the other two, and Scar Peng didn't want to wait any longer.

So, with two votes in favor and one vote against, German was chosen as the last prey.

But now it seems that German ignored Dongba's interference, easily avoided the poison needle, and killed the venomous snake. How can this be the appearance of a "prey"?

Is this guy really a newcomer?

Dongba's original snicker froze. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately sold out the two people and said, "I have nothing to do with them. It seems that there is a misunderstanding between you. Solve it slowly. I will leave first."

He turned around and started jogging, swinging his shoulder bag back and forth.

Greta and Scar Peng secretly cursed Dongba for being cowardly and cunning, but at the same time they also began to back down.

German didn't give any explanation. Before Greta and Scar Peng could see clearly, he caught up with Dongba who was trying to escape in the blink of an eye.

Dongba looked in astonishment at Germann who suddenly appeared beside him, stretched out his right leg while Dongba was running, and tripped him upside down.

Dongba's short and fat body fell to the ground, and he screamed in pain, "Ouch!" His head hit the hard floor, and blood gushed out from his head instantly.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, it was all their idea!" Dongba cried, holding his bloody head.

Germann's eyes flicked to the other two standing there.

Greta felt like she was on edge. She, who had opposed choosing German as her prey from the very beginning, no longer wanted to pester him and shot all the poison needles in her hand at German.

The poison needle flew towards me with a "whoosh".

Germann raised his meat saw and swept them down cleanly.

After Greta shot the poison needle, she was about to take the opportunity to blend into the crowd when she heard several "clang clang clang" sounds.

Before he could see how his poison needle was blocked, his eyes blurred and German appeared in front of him.

What a great speed!

Germann punched Greta in the side of the face, knocking him dizzy and knocking him to his knees.

Greta only felt a stuffy heat in her nostrils. She wiped it with the back of her hand and found it was a nosebleed. There was also a foreign object in her mouth. She spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with one of her own teeth.

German knocked down Dongba and Greta in an instant, then looked at Scar Peng.

Scar Peng adjusted the cloth on his head and then raised his hands.

"I surrender."

The people passing by in the square all looked over here in surprise. To them, the series of actions that just happened took less than half a minute. But in this short half a minute, the side with the advantage in numbers had two people fall down and one surrender, which made everyone stunned.

Some people recognized German as the man who stopped the reckless Beetle in the morning and knocked down three people who looked like highwaymen in the afternoon, and they couldn't help but marvel at him.

Dongba, Greta and Scar Peng all knew that they had hit a wall, and they looked at German in fear, waiting for his decision.

German made an unexpected move.

"Hand over all your nuns." He blinked his black eyes and said so.

The three of them were stunned, looking at each other.

The people who were watching were also confused.

Could it be that they had misunderstood, and that the black-haired young man was the robber... But how could there be a robber who robbed three people?
I had never seen it before, but now I see it.

Germain urged again.

Dongba, Greta and Scar Peng then realized that there was no intention to kill or maim them, and that it was worth it as long as they handed over the money they could save their lives.

Therefore, they handed over all the nuns they had.

German counted the money, totaling more than 10,000 JINI, and put it away. However, he did not let the three people go. Instead, he reached out and snatched Dongba's shoulder bag, rummaged around for a while, and took out three cans of drinks.

"Drink them, one can each, and I will not pursue you any further."

There is a strong laxative in Dongba's drink. If you drink a sip, you will have to squat in the toilet for a long time, let alone a whole can. You will definitely not be able to take the hunter exam.

The antidote to the strong laxative was in the shoulder bag that German was holding.

Germain knew about this, Dongba knew about it, Greta and Scarpen also knew about it.

The three of them looked at each other, and Germain showed them the meat saw again.

They had no choice but to grit their teeth, take the can, open the pull ring with a snap, tilt their heads back, and drink it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, the three of them almost simultaneously turned pale, holding their stomachs, with sweat dripping down like soybeans, dripping onto the ground like rain, and all looking at German pitifully.

"Let's go." German pursed his lips.

The three men stood up immediately as if they had been pardoned, and hurried to find a nearby toilet.

German didn't care what the people around him thought of him. He threw Dongba's shoulder bag into a nearby trash can, turned and left, and walked into the church amid people's strange looks.

Such a person doesn't look like a person with faith at all.

Not long after Germann left, a hunter disguised as a homeless man approached the trash can and recovered the laxative drink from Dongba's backpack.

They performed logistical work silently and tried their best not to be noticed by citizens and candidates.

German actually has faith, but what he believes in is not the God worshipped in the church or the secret room, but himself.

Following the original route, this time without the need for a priest to lead the way, German pushed open the back door of the church and came to the foggy cemetery.

It was sunny in front of the church, but dead and foggy behind it. I guess it couldn't be explained by the climate alone.

German followed the familiar red brick path back to where many candidates had gathered at first, only to see dozens of people already gathered there.

After all, the difficulty of the first level is not that great.

Izenabi changed his place and sat cross-legged under a big tree, his entire upper body leaning to the left, his chin supported by his left palm, his right hand resting on his knee, his fingers tapping rhythmically.

In front of him, there was a stack of cards, all of which were marked with the Hunter Association's logo.
