"Ah, Lan?!" Leorio suddenly felt a sense of shame, as if he had been caught in the act.
"Everyone has their own dreams; there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Lan slowed down on his motorcycle and gradually got on the same level as Kurapika and Leorio. "I think your dream is pretty good, Leorio."
"Really…"
He was still a little embarrassed.
"And Kurapika, the choices you said you were going to make are also great."
Lan continued to praise.
The purpose of the two people coming to participate in the Hunter Exam was clearly stated in the elevator.
But later, the choices and behaviors of the two people were exactly the opposite. Leorio was moving in the direction of a great doctor who could cure diseases and save lives, while Kurapika became the person he hated and despised the most.
A contract hunter who started out as a bodyguard for a rich kid.
He can only say that this is their true fate and destiny.
"I just happen to have some relevant channels and connections in my hands. If you feel you need them, you can come to me after the Hunter Exam."
Lan tightened his grip again: "Of course, the premise is that you have to get the hunter license!"
"Don't forget, you still owe me the price of telling you the relevant test information."
After that, Lan stepped on the accelerator again and drove forward.
"Related channels and connections…"
Leorio looked at Lan's back as he went away: "Speaking of which, we still don't know what Lan's identity is."
"And we don't know the purpose of his participation in the Hunter Exam… This may be because his identity is more special."
Kurapika adjusted his body while speaking and running at a constant speed: "Just like the previous applicant named Nicholas, he didn't find anything about Lan on the internet."
"It shows that there is indeed an unimaginable power behind Lan."
"The channels and connections he mentioned may be true."
"And..."
Kurapika's eyes slowly turned red.
He always felt that Lan's outfit was like the outfit of the contract hunter he wanted to become.
In addition, his extraordinary strength, which was probably hidden…
No, there is no need to hide it.
The confrontation with Hisoka just now and the beating of the examiner in the last Hunter Exam made all the applicants extremely afraid and terrified of him.
All of it showed that Lan's strength was extremely terrifying!!
Then maybe Lan was a member of a mysterious huge organization. Then this might be of great help to him in hunting down the Phantom Troupe!
Involving his subsequent life choices, Kurapika began to think.
At this time, the marathon was still going on at the rising stairs. More and more applicants fell behind one after another.
"Okay, applicants, it's almost the final sprint, I have to speed up."
Satotz looked back at the applicants and said this lightly.
The speed of his feet increased again.
The applicants immediately followed up with complaints.
At the same time, they were also jealous but dared not say anything while looking at Lan, who was riding a motorcycle leisurely and driving straight towards the front.
In front of everyone, there was a bright exit right there.
Finally…
As Satotz paused, many applicants ran out of the underground passage.
"This is..."
Before everyone had time to catch their breath, they saw a natural landscape in front of them.
The jungle was dense, the ground was wet, and there were many hills and mountains, forming a bumpy terrain.
"This is the Milsy Wetlands, generally known as the Swindlers Swamp."
Satotz briefly introduced the place and dangers to the applicants:
"This is also the only way to enter the second venue."
"This wetland has numerous beasts, mysterious creatures, and deadly plants, and most of them feed on human flesh."
"And they are cunning and greedy creatures."
As soon as he finished speaking, an iron gate was lowered at the exit behind him.
"Wait, wait for me..."
An applicant who fell to the ground and didn't have time to come out stretched out his hand to the crowd and shouted weakly and desperately.
The others all looked indifferent.
If he can't even keep up with this level of running, then it is basically difficult to survive in the next dangerous environment.
Perhaps it is also a kind of luck that will help him to keep his life.
Even Gon looked at him indifferently because the other party only said to wait for him, not save him.
If he called for help in a dangerous situation, then given Gon's personality, he might really help.
"Please follow my steps."
Satotz ignored him and continued to give his final advice:
"Once you fall into a trap, you will die."
He even stretched out his finger and shook it gently.
"The creatures in this wetland will do whatever it takes to deceive their prey and catch them for food."
"This is an ecosystem composed of creatures that use deception as a hunting method, so they are called the nest workers of the deception master."
"I'll say it again, don't be fooled, follow me closely."
He kindly repeated it to emphasize its importance.
"What you said is really strange..."
Leorio, who followed and listened to the warning, was a little puzzled: "If I knew it was a trap, how could I have been fooled?"
However, just after he finished speaking…
"Liar!"
"That guy is lying!!"
A figure staggered out from behind the wall at the exit.
It was a man with scars all over his body and wearing green clothes.
One of his arms was hanging down, and the other arm was holding a bag.
Inside the cloth bag was a strange monkey with his tongue exposed and eyes rolled up.
Why is it strange?
Because its appearance is almost exactly the same as Satotz!
"He is a fake!!"
