Chapter 421 Before the Storm

"Since we exchanged the treasure found from the sunken ship for the right to live in this hotel house, the couple who seemed to be specially arranged by the Hunter's Guild to test everyone have never shown their faces again." Kurapika said seriously.

Hearing what he said, Ogata recalled, indeed, he only saw them once when they went ashore to allocate rooms in the morning, and then the couple disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the island no trace.Therefore, many candidates who are troubled by the problem of eating have to go fishing in the sea.

Taking a deep look at Kurapika, talking about this power of observation, even Ogata felt a little ashamed.Because he habitually puts the things he is interested in first, while Kurapika is tolerant of everything around him.

"You think it's part of the test?" Ogata asked.

Kurapika nodded: "Although I don't know what's going on with this assessment, but there are strange things everywhere, obviously it's not just as simple as letting us rest on this island for three days. And call it 'rest', It is also likely to paralyze everyone's awareness of prevention."

Of course Ogata understands the principle of boiling frogs in warm water.He suddenly realized a more serious problem, that is, there are more than 30 candidates on this island, but the surrounding area is inedible seawater...

"The water source doesn't seem to be able to support our lives for the next three days." Ogata thought of this, and said to Kurapika.

Kurapika nodded, his eyes flickering: "That's it. It seems that this invisible exam has set a designated completion time, that is, before we candidates run out of water. We successfully got out of the predicament. "

"I really want to know. Did the couple take away those treasures that everyone collected so hard?" Ogata smiled slightly, looking at the room where the couple lived.

Kurapika shook his head: "It's not clear. Let's go and have a look."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded slightly, obeying Kurapika's opinion.

......

Almost all the candidates woke up and greeted the new morning, but they all discovered this problem, that is, the hotel couple who were in charge of everyone's daily life had never appeared again.

As the first person to notice this, Kurapika was in front of all the candidates.He explained all the things he analyzed.

Ogata stood in the crowd, Leorio suddenly touched him with his arm, and blinked: "Ogata, you should have noticed this too?"

"No." Ogata shook his head, he just smiled.

"It's strange, Kurapika is so energetic today, and he made such a big splash." Leorio said to Ogata, yawning.

Hearing this, Ogata replied: "Compared to us, Kurapika needs more recognition. Because the things he carries are huge."

"Huge? What?" Leorio's reaction was a bit slow, but he was not stupid.He quickly thought of something, and said seriously, "Is it about the destruction of the Kuruta clan?"

"It's good to know, everyone has a story, just like you." Ogata glanced at Leori.Kurapika is a very sensitive person, especially when others mention the two key words 'Kuruta' and 'spider'.

Ogata's observation ability only pays more attention to things that interest him, and Kurapika as a partner is obviously one of them.

Once, because Leorio mentioned something related to the 'Kuruta tribe', Kurapika, who had always been calm and gentle, got angry and even fought.It can be considered that his biggest weakness is that he is more 'sensitive'.

Talking about his affairs privately at this time, especially the content related to 'Kuruta', would definitely annoy Kurapika.

Leo Li scratched his head and said nothing more.He also realized that he seemed to be meddling.

Standing in front of all the examinees, after Kurapika explained all his analysis, it attracted many people's discussions and speculations.Although most people resisted Kurapika's opinion, they all knew that this was an invisible test joint.

And such an exam is related to everyone's life and safety!

Ogata and Kurapika have investigated the name of this warship island, and the remaining fresh water can only support more than 30 candidates for about a day, and there is no food on the island to satisfy their hunger.

Although the inn couple disappeared, their treasures were not taken away, and they were left in their room.In Ogata’s view, there are two situations that can be referred to.

One is that the two of them deliberately lightened their burden for the convenience of leaving the island, and had to leave behind the treasure they searched.

And the other is aimed at people who are not ancient!

Among the more than 30 candidates, there must be people who are blinded by profit and have greedy thoughts.If such a large amount of treasure, worth hundreds of millions, is left here, it is obvious that someone will fight for it.

Ogata looked at Leorio who was the closest to him. As far as he knew, this guy should be the most greedy for money.

"What's wrong?" Leorie couldn't help asking when he saw Ogata looking at him with strange eyes.

Ogata smiled and said, "Why do you always wear sunglasses?"

"Because he's handsome!" Leo Li puffed up his chest and said confidently to Ogata.

Ogata was speechless for a while, and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

"Ok?"

"Go and see if there is anything that can help you on this island. No matter how you discuss and think of a way, the final conclusion must be to find a way to leave this island of warships." Ogata explained.

Leo Li agreed with Ogata's statement, he felt that it was useless for these people to quarrel.

......

Instead of staying on the beach to watch the arguments of these candidates, Ogata and Leorio went back to the hotel, looking for something useful.

Ogata quickly found an explanation about the island and a general structural diagram of the warship from the huge dilapidated old warship near the hotel.But all the content is written in the ancient language of this world, so Ogata, who has a master's degree, can only stare blankly, unable to understand a single word.

He remembered that Kurapika seemed to understand these words, and it seemed that he was going to take them to read the contents above.

This warship is very large and magnificent in scale, but it is a pity that it has been destroyed in this sea area, and there is no way to display its power.

Ogata walked on the deck of the warship, looked at everything around him, and came to such a conclusion.

If there is really no other way in the end, trying to activate this warship should be the last way out!

After returning, he saw Leorio holding a scrap of paper and handing it to Kurapika and Xiaojie to study.

Ogata walked over, glanced at the shredded paper: "What is it?"

Everyone looked at Ogata who had just come.

"Probably a damaged and incomplete route map, which records the distance and specific route from Warship Island to Defense Island. However, because other parts are incomplete, it is impossible to piece together a complete navigation route, so we can only determine one now. One thing, that is, if we really leave Warship Island, then the place we are going to reach must be the 'Warning Island' marked on this road map!"

Kurapika glanced down at the paper in his hand, and then talked freely.

"I see." Ogata nodded slightly, and while listening, sorted out all the thoughts.

"By the way, Ogata, what did you find?"

Leorio saw that Ogata was not empty-handed, but was holding something like a booklet and blueprints.

"The manufacturing drawings of that warship, and the history of this island." Ogata handed them over to the only Kurapika who could understand these words.

This is a kind of talent, after seeing Kurapika take it over, carefully examine and read it, it would be a lie to say that you don't admire it.Fortunately, there are people among them who can understand these things, otherwise they would really be blinded by a smear of black eyes.

Xiaojie looked at the sea level with his eyes, and slowly opened his mouth at this time: "There seems to be some noise."

Ogata, who also has superb hearing, didn't pay attention just now, but now he heard Xiaojie's reminder, and he listened hard. Sure enough, there seemed to be a sound fluctuation similar to "crying ghosts and howling wolves" not far away.

Such a sudden sound in such a calm and peaceful sea area is definitely not an ordinary thing.

"You heard me right, Xiaojie." Ogata said calmly, looking at the sea water.

Xiaojie was taken aback, and Qi Ya also looked at Ogata in surprise, because he didn't hear anything.

"Kurapica, it's best to be prepared, a disaster is about to happen here, a terrible disaster." Ogata felt the faint sound in the distance, and there were some things that kept flying in this direction Seagull, then said.

Kurapika hadn't finished reading the thing in his hand, but he already knew it in his mind: "It should be written on it, a catastrophe once every ten years. This island is about to usher in a terrible storm vortex."

Leorio's face changed, and he looked at Ogata and Kurapika: "What should I do? Do I want to wait to die on this island? Do I want to prepare the boat to leave here like everyone else, and go to the place mentioned on the map? Guard Island?"

"Without knowing the distance and navigation route, we can't determine how long it will take to reach the defense island, and it is easy to encounter disasters that should be happening in distant sea areas." Ogata replied slowly.

Kurapika nodded in agreement, and helped out, "That's right. According to the information here, there will be two waves of such a catastrophe. The first wave will not cause substantial damage to everything on the shore. So we have to wait until the first wave subsides and find a way to evacuate the island before the second wave arrives. If we rely on a small boat to cross the sea now, it is easy to be swallowed by the terrifying wind and waves mentioned above."

Leorio felt that it made sense, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

They all came to such a damned place because they wanted to be hunters. Now is the moment when their lives are at stake. This is no joke. (To be continued..)
