Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Snapped!

Dia quickly closed the letter, then sat up straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

The air seemed to freeze suddenly.

An unknown killing intent silently spread throughout the room.

Why did you stop watching?

A cold, emotionless voice rang out, and Qiduo's deathly gaze fell on Dia.

"I've finished reading it."

Diya remained completely calm and composed.

"Oh? I've only read the first sentence. When did you become a faster reader than me, Diya?"

Qi Duo gave a cold laugh.

"I have a special skill; I actually finished reading it."

Dia said sincerely that he had indeed finished reading it, but only during the time stop.

The letter itself didn't contain much; the main problem was the beginning, which was filled with strange rhetoric and bizarre grammar, creating an ambiguous atmosphere that was a bit hard to read. The rest of the letter was just normal correspondence.

First, there's that pocket watch, which was actually an old item given to her by Mumu Ze's mother, the seventh queen, Serwangqi.

She set it as a physical pass for entering and exiting the Twelve Princes' Palace.

That way, when Dia goes to see her in the future, she won't have to go through the trouble of informing everyone.

The pen was a gift to celebrate him becoming the vice president of the Hunter Association, even though he only served as vice president for a few minutes.

Overall, this was a very routine gift-giving incident.

Dia concluded without changing her expression.

"..."

Qi Duo squinted, wanting to say something more, but then felt she had no reason to press him further.

After all, the letter stated at the beginning that it was addressed to Dia and had nothing to do with her.

It's their business if others give Diya gifts; it's none of her business.

"Humph!"

After thinking it over, she realized that she didn't even have the right to be angry. Qi Duo could only snort coldly, get up and walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Dia asked."

"Go back to school! Undergraduates are about to go on winter break, and their final exam papers haven't been finished yet."

Qiduo gave a perfectly reasonable reason, and Dia neither agreed nor disagreed, so she didn't pay any more attention to it.

He's preparing to leave for the Hunter Exam tomorrow, and the timing of this gift's delivery is quite coincidental.

If it were even a day later, he wouldn't have had time to receive it.

But why didn't she just call or text him? Wouldn't that have been faster? What's the point of writing a letter?

I wonder what Mumu Ze is thinking...

With a lot on her mind, the first thing Qiduo did upon returning to school was to lock the office door from the inside and enter a self-isolating mode.

She couldn't even understand why she was so angry; it was exactly the same as the time a few days ago.

She sulks for no reason, and it's always Dia who's in the mood.

Qiduo looked at the little dog doll with its tongue sticking out next to the computer. It was a gift that Diya had brought her back from Yorknew City.

Looking back now, did he only buy gifts for himself?

After a moment of silence, Qiduo turned on her computer and began working on this year's final exam papers.

Later, it was estimated that the top students of the National Medical University were almost completely overwhelmed in the final exams that year, with a pass rate of less than 1%, making it arguably the biggest teaching accident in history.

This teaching incident vanished instantly after it was discovered that the test setter was Chido Yorkshire.

The crowd, which had been initially indignant, suddenly changed their tune and began praising his strict teaching style, calling it the work of a true master.

Even more surprisingly, Kito's reputation as a genius has been further enhanced by some unexpected twist of fate...

---------------

in the crowd.

Pokson was looking down at his phone, seemingly just an ordinary person engrossed in their phone, but he was actually secretly checking an email.

'Aboard the Trafalgar, heading to the Hunter Exam venue…'

Poxon calmly opened the map and began searching for the location of that city.

Located on the north side of Youlubian Avenue, northeast of Youkexin City.

The city of pleasure – Gramgasland.

Chapter 254 Even an Undercover Agent Can Be a Hunter × No, buddy?

Loy, Schwadani Airport.

A huge airship, much larger than a regular airship, is quietly parked at the airport.

The most striking feature of this airship is the huge red and black double-forked symbol on its hull—the emblem of the Hunter Association.

'The Trafalgar, reportedly built by top engineers and professional Sky Hunters from various countries, is the largest airship capable of flying in the stratosphere…'

Poxon did not rush to board the airship.

Although she had already registered in advance, the "ticket" to board the airship was not yet in her hands.

Upon reaching the reception desk, Pokson inquired about the location of the luggage storage area and presented the retrieval slip given to her by those people.

Holding the key she got from the front desk, she went to the luggage storage area and found a black sealed bag containing three items.

First, a large-caliber 9mm Haleta pistol, and some standard ammunition.

This is a very famous large-caliber pistol. With her marksmanship, it should be enough for her to deal with four enemies simultaneously.

Secondly, there was an anonymous ticket with a departure time of 11:30, which was clearly the ticket for the airship she was about to board.

Poxon checked the time on his watch, phone, and the large screen at the airport.

Cross-validation confirmed that there were still 27 minutes until takeoff.

With plenty of time, she leisurely put the weapon into her backpack and then began to check the third item.

This is a strange card; the number "3" is written on it in gold foil.

"3..."

Pokson stared at the number and muttered something under his breath, puzzled.

She then turned the card over; on the back, a line of small print was written in bold—

"On January 11, 1998, find the red room and talk to the crow."

puff!

As soon as she finished reading that line of text, the card in her hand suddenly turned into a ball of flame and burned to ashes!

"!?"

Pokson, whose fingertips were instantly scorched by the high temperature, almost blurted out a curse word, but fortunately he stopped himself at the last moment.

'What bad luck! I even got burned while trying to retrieve something.'

Miss Poker rubbed her burning fingers, feeling like crying, and scraped off a layer of dead skin.

Who exactly pulled this trick? Was it some kind of magic trick?

Fortunately, she usually does laundry, cooks, and cleans, and with all the training she has, she has developed calluses on her hands, which has given her some basic defensive capabilities.

She felt that things hadn't been going well for her ever since she saw Dia again yesterday, but thankfully she would soon be able to get far away from that guy.

However, now that we've already retrieved our items, there's no point in staying at the airport any longer.

Feeling better in his finger, Poxen walked decisively toward the tarmac.

Others doing the same thing were strangely dressed, dangerous individuals carrying swords and knives; they were clearly all going to participate in the hunter test.

Stepping into the airship, you are greeted by an enormous space and a full range of facilities.

The moment Pokson walked in, she was met with scrutinizing and wary glances.

Some of those gazes were lying down, some were standing, some were sneering, some were calm, but without exception, they all carried a strong sense of vigilance.

Pretending to be scared, Pokson slunk away, avoiding eye contact, and found a corner to sit down and observe his surroundings.

At the same time, she also began to think about the card from earlier:

'These things must have been left behind by that so-called superior. He didn't even bother to see me before sending me to the Hunter Exam. What was his purpose?'

'The red room...crows...fire breaking out of nowhere...'

Poxen had a vague feeling that she had received a rather strange task.

Was that card that just spontaneously combusted really just a magic trick...?

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to set off.

A piercing warning sound emanated from all parts of the Trafalgar, and the heavy doors began to slowly close.

Poxon looked at the door that was about to close.

The sunlight filtering in from the outside was gradually blocked out, replaced by the bright fluorescent lights inside the airship, as if the two worlds were being cleanly separated.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that she had embarked on a cruel path that she would never have considered before.

Remembering the Hunter Test's notoriously high mortality rate and low completion rate from the data, she belatedly felt a tightness in her heart.

'Becoming a hunter...like that person?'
