'What's the meaning of this?'
'What does that 'source of danger' want to do?'
Tonpa felt something was wrong.
He was hiding so well, but he still got singled out by this guy.
From this moment on, Tonpa was convinced that Moses knew about him, so he mentioned the precondition of being 'the most experienced'.
This was all aimed at him.
For a moment, Tonpa felt like he had become prey...
'But why would this guy do this?'
'Could it be because among the newcomers I had once tricked, there was someone known to this guy?'
'So, is the reason this guy singled me out to avenge someone?'
In just one or two seconds, a storm rolled up in Tonpa's head, and he thought of many possibilities.
"I... can't do it."
Then, Tonpa gave up his self-esteem as a man without hesitation.
'You want me to be the leader?'
'What a joke.'
'That's not the leader, but just a cannon fodder!'
"Uncle, although I don't know you, but when I made the suggestion, everyone looked directly at you, which shows that everyone has confidence in you."
Moses looked at Tonpa with a smile, as if he didn't see the sweat on Tonpa's face.
'If I can torture Tonpa to the point of mental breakdown, I wonder if I can get a reward from Perception.'
For this reason, Moses deliberately released some malicious intent towards Tonpa.
In this way, Tonpa, who was stimulated by the malicious intent, would regard him as a dangerous person at any time and will always be in a 'precarious' situation.
"I, I did participate in many exams..."
Being targeted by Moses like this, Tonpa reluctantly showed an expression that was uglier than crying, and said with trembling lips, "But I fail every time. Doesn't that mean that I am just a piece of trash with no ability?"
Tonpa, who really doesn't want to be pushed to the forefront of the storm, even wanted to prove to everyone that he is a trash.
His determination made everyone present show a strange expression.
Moses took a deep look at Tonpa and said regretfully: "What this uncle said is not unreasonable. After all, failing every time does indicate some problems."
"…"
Tonpa lowered his head, and the flesh on his cheeks couldn't help but tremble several times.
'Hold it!'
'Just hold it!'
'This is the only way I can survive longer!'
Tonpa kept warning himself in his mind.
Failing to push Tonpa to the forefront, Moses asked the examinees present to nominate a candidate, then stepped back into the crowd.
A few minutes later.
The crowd quickly selected a candidate who had participated in four exams to serve as the temporary leader.
The candidate's name is Bolton. He is tall and muscular, with a sturdy back and a muscular body. His muscles exposed to the air look like thick and knotted tree roots, which is very eye-catching.
Although he is not a Nen User, his imposing physique naturally exuded an oppressive aura, making him look very intimidating.
After being selected as the leader, Bolton first asked everyone about their situation coming here, thus confirming that all the tunnels they came from were one-way routes.
This high probability meant that the holes on the surrounding rock walls were all dead ends.
After obtaining this basic information, Bolton asked the examinees present to form a team of two, and then go search for useful clues inside the ruins ahead.
There was no objection from the others regarding Bolton's arrangement.
Soon, more than twenty teams of two people headed towards the ruins of the underground city ahead.
Naturally, Moses and Menchi were paired together. They deliberately slowed down their pace, thus falling behind.
"Master, those people... don't seem like they're looking for an exit at all."
Menchi looked at the group of examinees in front of them, who were rushing towards the ruins of the underground city.
Although the theme of the discussion just now was 'get out of here', after the discussion ended, Menchi was very keenly aware of the greed in the eyes of some examinees.
Human nature is like this.
"Yeah."
Moses's eyes were calm and he said, "When there are few people, they will desperately think about how to get out of danger due to the scarcity of safety. When there are many people, the sufficient sense of security will allow them to selectively ignore the unfavorable situations and instead satisfy their own desires first."
"Then these people can't be counted on."
Menchi shook her head slightly.
An underground city ruin that had never seen the light of day was no different from a mountain of gold in the eyes of these people.
Most of the examinees who come to take the Hunter Exam are just doing it for money or fame.
A Hunter License could exchange for wealth that could last for generations.
Now, with a treasure trove of immeasurable value in front of them, there was no need to say how to choose.
This is the true portrayal of the majority of examinees present.
Although Moses couldn't agree, he could understand their thoughts.
After all, the passing rate of the Hunter Exam is pitifully low. Over the past ten years, the possibility of a newcomer getting a Hunter License is infinitely close to zero. Only those examinees who have taken the exam multiple times can get a Hunter License.
Most of the examinees here are old-timers, who have taken the Hunter Exam several times.
If they could obtain treasures in this underground ruin that could exchange for a large amount of money, why would they take risks to participate in the Hunter Exam again?
"I didn't count on them in the first place."
Moses looked at the examinees, who had rushed into the underground city ruins in front, and his eyes moved slightly. Then, he looked up at the giant column standing in the center of the underground city in the distance.
Just now, he felt that the Post-Mortem Nen had undergone some changes.
If he were to compare the 'change' he sensed to an image…
It would probably be like an unidentified object extending numerous tentacles to various parts of the underground ruins.
'It is indeed not an ordinary ruin…'
Moses's eyes became slightly serious.
At the same time…
The teams of examinees who gathered spontaneously from other directions also headed towards the underground city ruins.
Among them were the three men from the Erimo Bandit Group, Shalnark, and seven or eight Nen Users.
Everyone who came here-
Had the same goal.
They all entered the ruins.
But they were unaware that a threat was quietly approaching.
Among all of them, only Moses can 'see' the movements of the Post-Mortem Nen.
