"It's very simple. We're in the Tower of Despair right now. I don't know how this path was handled, but we have to proceed according to the rules. Of course, some people want to be the boss, so they blocked my way. It's these three."
Fu Long pointed to the three Amory brothers, and the three brothers immediately stood up straight and bowed.
"Sorry, it's our fault. You should be the boss."
Fu Long was speechless and glanced at Illumi.
"I don't care." Illumi shrugged. He was an assassin, and he generally wouldn't attack someone who didn't intend to kill him. It wasn't that he couldn't, but that he found it too troublesome.
Fu Long nodded and looked at the text beside him.
Fortunately, although it was a soul transmigration, I still understand the local language.
"The path to victory is a nine-on-five contest, consisting of nine rounds. Five people must cooperate to complete the requirements of all nine rounds to pass the level. It's quite simple."
After saying that, Fu Long picked up a watch next to him, and the others followed suit. The time on the watches began to count down, and then a door opened.
"The door only opens when all five people are present? That's quite a clever design."
"Alright, forget about that, just keep moving forward."
Fu Long felt a bit excited because the previous plot unfolded with Xiao Jie and his friends.
Therefore, neither the manga nor the anime explains the other paths.
On Xiao Jie's side, the minority followed the majority rule, and ultimately, after Xiao Jie's persuasion, the five of them finally came together to the end.
The nine trials here were something I had never heard of before, so everything was new to me.
This is what made Fu Long happy; after all, the parts of the plot that you don't know are more exciting.
After walking downhill for a while, the group arrived at a small room. The room was not big, only a few dozen square meters.
In the very center of the room was a chessboard, an international chessboard. Fu Long gasped, "You don't want to play this, do you? I really don't know how."
On the other side of the chessboard, one sitting and one standing, were two prisoners dressed in white hooded capes, their hands still in handcuffs.
"They're here, you can unlock the handcuffs now."
Once the handcuffs were removed, the two men revealed their true colors.
The first one was unremarkable; she was a fairly pretty girl who seemed harmless. Who would have thought that this highly intelligent murderer, known for her locked-room killings, would be sentenced to 152 years in prison?
The person behind her was covered in various musical instruments; he was actually a musician, but his instruments all looked modified and probably weren't anything special.
This man was a serial killer who used music to hypnotize people and was sentenced to 106 years in prison.
"The competition is like playing chess. You have unlimited opportunities to challenge me. As long as you can't beat me, you can keep playing. Of course, you can use various methods to interfere with your opponent during the competition, but you can't directly attack them physically. For example, you can't hit us with that needle. Otherwise, you will lose an hour."
The game sounded simple; all you had to do was beat your opponent. But how could he win? Fu Long glanced at the people around him. Who knew how to play this game? He certainly didn't.
"I'll do it." Surprisingly, it was Illumi who stepped forward.
"You?" Fu Long's eyes widened. You're kidding me, aren't you? You're an assassin, and you can play chess?
Illumi glanced at Fu Long and said, "Don't underestimate anyone. Besides, the reason I took action is because your methods are just right to deal with them."
Fu Long then realized that, to be honest, his poisoned horse stinger was indeed a physical attack.
It only causes pain without inflicting any injury, which perfectly aligns with the rules.
These people probably didn't expect that there would be such an eccentric contestant as Fu Long.
"As for how much time you can take, that depends on whether you can beat me."
The chess player was already seated at the chessboard, while the musician took out a trumpet and started playing. It must be said, the music was quite good.
However, the three Amory brothers all seemed to fall asleep after listening to it, which clearly showed that the voice had a hypnotic effect.
"They really go to any lengths. Playing chess with someone while enduring hypnotic music is something not everyone can do."
Fu Long looked at Illumi, who was unaffected. He was also a killer's will, so how could he be so weak?
Meanwhile, the other player also focused intently.
It must be said that Illumi's chess skills are also quite good; in the first few moves, he and his opponent were evenly matched.
At this moment, the opposing player picked up the Queen, and Fu Long seized the opportunity to strike with a Poisonous Sting.
"Ah!" The female chess player was just an ordinary person. She was quite intelligent, but her actual combat strength was completely lacking. So, she was in so much pain that she rolled on the ground after just one move, and the queen in her hand fell to the ground.
"This queen is now useless." Illumi seized the opportunity and quickly destroyed the other party's car, gaining a great advantage.
Time continued to pass, and since there was a time limit for their chess games, the female player had to endure the pain and continue playing against Illumi.
From the screams that came from her from time to time, it was clear that her pain was something that ordinary people could not endure.
The musician quickly changed the music, which was supposed to have a therapeutic effect, but for the female chess player who was in excruciating pain, it was only a drop in the ocean.
Illumi is getting better and better. He already had the advantage, and now he has taken down the opponent's horse and elephant in succession, which has forced the Emperor into a desperate situation.
After persisting for a few more moves, the female player reluctantly conceded defeat.
It only took less than fifteen minutes in total.
Fu Long and Illumi exchanged a smile, while the three Amori brothers, huddled together, had already fallen asleep.
Slap, slap, a few slaps landed on their faces, and the three Amory brothers finally woke up.
"what happened?"
"What else? By the time you make your move, it'll be too late. You're done. Come with us." Fu Long snorted coldly, watching the two criminals being handcuffed again before heading towards the passage ahead.
The three Amory brothers also hung their heads, truly unable to help in any way.
Chapter 37 The Strength of the Three Amory Brothers
As he continued forward, Fu Long pondered to himself, "This place is called the Ninth Bureau, but in reality, they probably won't make me go to nine different locations."
After all, when Xiao Jie and his friends passed the level, they only had a chance to fight when the first person appeared; after that, it was almost all traps.
In the end, they chose which door to go through, and that's how they passed the test.
The same should apply to our side.
Soon, they arrived at another arena, but these arenas were not yet connected. Instead, three figures appeared on the opposite side of the arena.
The three men were all about the same height. When they saw the newcomers, they asked the backstage staff to remove their handcuffs, pulled up their white cloaks, and appeared before everyone.
They were triplets, and they looked exactly alike. They had no weapons, but all three of them took a step forward in unison.
"We are the Morgan brothers, and we will protect you from the third to the fifth inning."
Oh, Fu Long did some calculations. The chess player and the musician in front count as the first and second games. The three people here count as the third game. So, there's going to be a game with four people later.
Fortunately, this makes things much easier.
"The conditions are simple: defeat us. Of course, if you lose, you'll have to lose to us for ten... no, twenty hours."
Fu Long looked at the three Amory brothers and thought, "Look at them, they all look the same. And look at you guys, some have square faces, some have thin faces, and you don't even look alike."
When the three Amori brothers saw Fu Long looking at them, they immediately stepped forward and said, "We'll take on this challenge."
"Of course you should come."
"Hey, are there any other conditions?" Fu Long asked, looking at the person opposite him.
If there are no other conditions, he can think about how to provide assistance from the sidelines.
After all, the fighting ability of the three Amori brothers is really worrying.
"No other conditions, let's settle this in the ring." The three Morgan brothers on the other side said in unison, which could be considered telepathy.
Soon, the aisle next to the ring extended out, and six people walked onto the ring and stood facing each other.
Fu Long glanced at the time on his watch. They had plenty of time; at this rate, they might be the first to arrive at their destination.
But never mind, I remember Hisoka should have been the first one to go there.
"Do you need me to help?" Illumi asked.
"We'll see. I'm not going to talk about morality with them. I'll do whatever it takes to win."
Having spent a long time in this world, Fu Long felt that he had changed a lot.
What is martial virtue? Don't be too particular about it, it can be deadly.
The six people on the other side quickly clashed. It must be said that the Morgan brothers were indeed very strong, but the Amory brothers were not weak either.
These three brothers are really unlucky.
In fact, they performed exceptionally well in the earlier rounds and should have been able to make it to the end.
But what could they do when they encountered Killua in the fourth stage? He was one of the main characters, with the same high talent as Gon. Such a genius could only be a runner-up for them.
To be honest, if their initial target had been ordinary people, they might have actually succeeded.
The six of them were fighting fiercely, but judging from the current situation, it would take at least two or three hours to determine a winner.
So Fu Long and Illumi found a place to sit down and rest for a while.
"I thought you would beat the game quickly and get first place."
"Fame is useless to us, as long as we pass the test. Besides, your friend is no pushover either. If I get ahead of him, do you think I can survive a fight with him?"
Illumi gave an "oh" and then nodded. He knew who Fu Long was talking about, and he also knew Hisoka very well.
That person is indeed someone that Fu Long can't compare to now. Even Illumi himself felt that his chances of defeating Hisoka were slim.
The Amori brothers were quite alarmed during the battle. The three opponents were indeed more coordinated than they were. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were slightly stronger than their opponents, they probably would have been defeated long ago.
"Their physical strength is lacking, and because the three of them are too coordinated, they have lost their flexibility. As long as we can hold them off for a long time, we will definitely win."
Amory's eldest brother shouted, and he could be considered the leader of the Amory brothers' team. With just one sentence, he boosted morale.
"Oh, it seems you do have some skill." Illumi said calmly.
Fu Long just smiled. None of those who made it this far were weak. Unfortunately, there are always stronger hands among the strong; that's just reality.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the Morgan brothers across from them were already panting heavily.
"Option Two," the Amory brothers suddenly changed their tactics.
The elder brother stepped forward, his muscles bulging, and punched two of the Morgan brothers.
He actually managed to hold off two of the other side all by himself.
