Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 228 "Meeting at the Top of the Tower"

On the evening of October 10, close to midnight, the not-so-spacious lantern transmission hall was crowded with people.

Grandma Lin Nie sat in a creaking rocking chair, her skinny fingers crossed on her cushioned abdomen.

She always looks like this, and no one except herself knows whether she is asleep or awake.

Maybe this is what Grandma Lin Nie wanted.

These days, she has rarely shown the vitality of a young person, cooking ingredients carefully for everyone.

It was an experience like heaven and hell. The weight lost after a sweat would often rebound after the next meal.

After all, everyone can voluntarily withdraw from this trial, such as Sambika, Abenganie, Duen, Liszt, and the twins Ida and Elena.

They only lasted two meals before giving up the trial for their own reasons.

The rest of the people persevered to the end, especially the protagonists of tonight - German, Biscuit, Xiaodi, and Menqi.

They passed the reincarnation path set up by Grandma Lin Nie, and successfully forged their bodies into the right shape before setting off, maintaining their lean and flexible figures.

Everyone was checking to see if the necessary items were ready, while German was checking his own status.

"Physique: 149"

"Capacity: 160"

"Comprehensive Combat Strength: Master Level"

Still evolving, with no end in sight, he knew he still had a long way to go.

Ding ding ding - when the floor clock rang, the time passed midnight and the noise in the hall disappeared in an instant.

Everyone was looking at the team members who were about to set off to the Dark Continent to challenge the next "disaster".

What they are about to do is absolutely unimaginable, and there are simply not many people in modern times who can compare with them.

Only Dong Fulisi was walking far ahead of them, and even his back could not be seen.

At this moment, the records of "New World Journey: Eastern Chapter Fragments" have been verified again and again.

No one will think he is a liar anymore, and no one will think that "New World Chronicle: Eastern Chapter Fragments" is fantasy literature.

If he were still alive, he would definitely be an incredible legend.

Germain lit the lantern, and four little ghosts crawled out and looked at them dryly.

He was wearing a brand new set of black hunter robes, but they were the original style, with the tricorn hat pulled down and the mask pulled up to his neck.

"Are you ready?" German turned around and sent out the final signal.

The other three nodded in response. Everything was ready. Especially since three of them were veteran warriors who had conquered the "Ancient Maze", they seemed full of confidence at this time.

That is not arrogance, but the result of actually climbing mountains and being mentally prepared for such dangers, which is also "talk of experience."

Of course, without Germain's "Teleportation Lantern", Xiaodi's "Pop-Eyed Fish", Biscuit's "Magic Beautician", and Jin's combat power, the difficulty of challenging the "Ancient Labyrinth" would undoubtedly double.

Only with the right foursome can we have the best ending.

Whether Menqi's joining and the increase in the number of people is a gift or a burden will depend on the actual results at that time.

The four members of German's team all held the cold, shriveled hands of the messenger, but did not set off immediately.

They all looked at Grandma Lin Nie, a person who should never be ignored at the scene.

Granny Lin Nie opened her eyes slightly, leaving a slit, and a shrewd light shone from them.

She smiled kindly and said, "Go, children. I am here on Greed Island. The only thing you need to be careful of is the darkness ahead. Go and light up the winding road there."

Germain did not wait any longer. He gave orders to the messenger imps, and the distorted force field made them dizzy and deformed.

In an instant, the four living people and the lantern disappeared without a trace. Even those who have seen this scene again and again will feel fresh in their hearts, and those who see it for the first time will be amazed.

Granny Lin Nie closed her eyes, but she was the calmest person here. It was as if her soul had left her body and she followed that group of young people back to the bizarre dark continent.

She thought of herself, Isaac and Jagger that year. The road was dangerous, but they found joy in the hardship and have never regretted embarking on that journey.

If there is one regret, it is that I will never be able to set foot on that land again, right?
However, this group of young people gave her hope again. Perhaps with their efforts, humans would return to the land that gave birth to them.

Maybe she could breathe one more breath of the air there before she died.
-
Jin sat cross-legged beside a lamppost that was emitting a dim light. He looked up at the grayish waning moon outside the tower, then turned to look at the empty area in the center of the top of the tower.

Before leaving, German had not confirmed when he would return.

He just said that the "Teleportation Lantern" would cool down after 5 days, and if they wanted to come, it would definitely be at 0: on a certain day after that.

For this, Jin Baizhong left the tower and explored the "Ancient Labyrinth", especially the areas not recorded in the "New World Chronicle: Eastern Chapter Fragment", to fill in the gaps in the "New World Chronicle".

At night, he would return to the tower, have a good dinner, and then wait quietly from midnight to one o'clock at the teleportation point at the top of the tower.

At one o'clock in the morning, when there was no response from the teleportation point at the top of the tower, he would get up to stretch his muscles, then crawl into his sleeping bag and take a nap.

When he wakes up the next day, he will repeat the process again.

It has to be said that this kind of lonely pilgrim-like behavior has an irresistible romance to him.

"You didn't come tonight?"

Jin waited for a while, muttering to himself, but he was not disappointed or expectant, he was always calm.

As someone staying in the Dark Continent, one must have extremely strong psychological qualities. This is inevitable, otherwise the daily torture-like suspicion will take away a person's life.

King never had any doubts about whether German would come back, whether he would abandon him.

Firstly, he was able to act alone, and secondly, he did not believe that Germain could resist the temptation of the Dark Continent.

Just as he was thinking about whether to turn off the lights and go to bed early, purple lines appeared where he was sitting.

And these lines are like streams converging into a lake, all flowing back into the teleportation point in the center.

coming.

Jin smiled.

A lantern rose from the melting floor, its light parting like a curtain to reveal the four expected figures and their messenger imps.

The lantern dimmed and then disappeared.

"It looks like you're okay." Germain lifted his tricorn hat and looked at Jin with his dark eyes. "As long as it's not the worst."

Standing next to him were naturally Bisiji, Xiaodi and Menqi.

"Are you underestimating me a little bit?"

Jin raised his eyebrow as he got up from the floor.

"The Ancient Labyrinth has lost its previous aggressiveness during this period. Anyway, with so many healing herbs, nothing will happen to me."

"Okay, do you want to take a rest for the night, or tell me now what happened on Greed Island?"

He still cares about Greedy Island, especially after he supported Germain's transformation of Greedy Island.

　There is another chapter today, but it will be late.

　　I replaced the network card and cleaned the dust on my computer, which solved the problem. It should be fine now.

　　Computers are still easier to use. I am not used to typing on my phone.

　　In addition, in a chapter of mine a long time ago, "Lin Nie" appeared instead of the current "Lin Nie". This is a translation problem, but the original one cannot be changed, so I decided to change Lin Nie in the recent chapters to Lin Nie, trying to keep it consistent as much as possible.
