From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

Elf?

Leprechaun?

After seeing the appearance of that thing, Long's heart moved.

They were actually little naked people, exactly the same as the elves in cartoons, movies and TV shows in the memory of the previous life, with very delicate faces.

The only difference is that the elf's body is not made of flesh and blood, but more like some kind of crystal sculpture. The smile on his face also looks extremely stiff, as if his facial features can only express this kind of expression.

A dozen elves flew over.

Stop in front of Long.

"Yes or no?"

"Yes or no?"

"Yes or no?"

Then, a group of elves suddenly asked incomprehensible questions in unison.

As they were asked questions, their mouths opened and closed stiffly.

His expression didn't change and he just kept smiling.

Not only Long heard it, but Men Qi and the other two also heard it clearly.

This sound did not come from the elf's mouth, but was a kind of spiritual transmission, a natural telepathic ability.

Similar to Gabwich's telepathy.

In other words, they do not understand human language.

"Yes or no?"

The elf repeated this sentence over and over again like a clockwork machine.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, but Anthony and the other two felt as if they were in an ice cellar. They were speechless again and dared not answer at all.

I was even more confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

"team leader…"

Gabwich spoke carefully through telepathic communication.

"Don't answer. That's the rule."

Long said in a deep voice.

Then, he waved his hand suddenly.

The afterimage of the arm instantly hit the space where a group of elves were.

Strangely, with his current strength, he was unable to strangle these seemingly weak elves to pieces. The elves were simply knocked to the ground without being injured. They soon flew up again and continued to ask questions.

Through soul examination, Long discovered that the souls in these elves were very weak, not much stronger than the saplings before, but he now understood that the strength of the soul also depends on the life energy, and the size of the life energy cannot determine the danger.

Even though he released the soul pressure, it still failed to shake the soul fire in the elf's body.

Just like his attack, it causes no damage.

“The protection of the rules.”

Long guessed.

"Yes or no?"

A female elf pressed against the tip of Long's nose and continued to ask.

From this angle, Long could see that there was a protrusion under the glossy hair of the miniature woman, at the back of her head, and a skull was revealed from the hairline. It seemed that the elf was asking the question, but in fact, it was the skull hidden under the hair that transmitted the spiritual fluctuations.

"The head of this thing is actually composed of two parts, front and back. The front looks like an elf, and the back is a skeleton... and the skeleton is the front, and the one facing me now is the back." Long understood it immediately and raised his hand to pinch the elf. He began to exert force with his fingers, trying to crush it.

But no matter how horrific the force he used, even if it caused the elf's limbs to bend slightly, the elf continued to repeat the questions, completely unaffected.

Long observed again that the skull on the back of the elf's head began to flash red light and lit up from the eye sockets, as if some consciousness was about to be awakened.

"It seems there is a time limit. Keeping silent won't work. Once the time is exceeded, the danger will probably double!"

Long analyzed it and said abruptly: "Yes."

Yes or no, no matter which one you choose, there are only two options given, which means that there is a 50% chance of answering either way.

As for what this 50% probability means and how great the danger is, it is unknown.

For now, all we can do is observe.

As soon as the words fell, a mysterious energy suddenly acted on Long's body.

As Men Qi and the other two looked on in shock, they saw the captain's body gradually shrink and grow wings... and the outline of his face began to become stiff. The bone fragments on the back of his head protruded and tore out from under the skin, turning into the shape of a skeletal human face.

Long...is going to become an elf!

"team leader!"

Anthony was horrified and shouted loudly.

He immediately rushed towards the dozen flying elves, but even Long couldn't hurt them at all, let alone Anthony who only had one arm left.

The man's eyes were red with anger, and he waved his arms repeatedly to grab the small things in the air. The elves did not dodge and allowed themselves to be strangled by the man's big hands. No matter whether he threw them, stepped on them, or pinched them... it was useless.

Anthony mobilized all his mental power, roaring and screaming, trying to destroy these seemingly cute ghosts.

But... it's totally ineffective.

Several elves turned their eyes to him and continued to ask, "Yes or no?"

"Die!"

Anthony was furious and cursed.

It seems that Long was bound by a powerful force of rules and changed. Once he completely became an elf, then... Long's soul and body might completely disappear from this world.

Their exploration of the Dark Continent ends here!

"So that's it..."

Long's body did not shrink instantly. There was a process for him to turn into an elf. At this speed, it might take half a minute or a minute, and even his consciousness would be occupied... from a human being to this mechanized weird creature in front of him.

After Long noticed this, he smiled. Before he completely transformed, he looked at the dozen or so elves in the air and suddenly asked with a smile: "Yes or no?"

After hearing what he said, the elves who were still calling frequently immediately became like toys that had run out of power, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

The stiff mouth opened and closed...but no more sound came out.

No more mental fluctuations were transmitted.

"Yes or no?"

Long's tone became harder.

"…Yes…"

"No ..."

The elves were in a panic and suddenly changed their words, giving all sorts of answers.

Immediately afterwards, Men Qi and the others watched in astonishment as more than a dozen elves quickly changed from children to old men, and then, as if unable to flap their wings, they fell to the ground lifelessly.

And the force of rules originally applied to Long was suddenly revoked.

Long also returned to his original appearance.

Anthony's eyes widened, his expression dazed.

Long Yun sat on the ground calmly and twisted his neck. He didn't look like a man who had just walked through the gates of hell. "Questions and answers, affirmation and negation, and invariance, these three points are how to play this rule."

"???"

Men Qi and the other two were speechless, not understanding what Long was saying at all.

"The elves are the questioners, and I am the answerer. The questions can be any, but only by answering them first can we know the questions on the test paper. If they don't answer, they are 'unchanged' in the rules. Unchanged means always remaining the same, so any attack will be ineffective against them... including souls. The question that the elf asked me should be close to whether I am one of them... If I answer yes, I will naturally become an elf. If not, then there is no danger..."

"Unfortunately...I answered yes."

"Also, I'm not sure if the questions are continuous."

"They probably used this rule to turn other humans into elves in order to increase their numbers... These elves must have existed for a very long time, so long that it is unimaginable. For some reason, they want to assimilate humans, so the first question they asked must be this one... If it was any other question, I might really die... Their previous assimilation should have been successful, so the test questions have not changed."

"hiss……"

Anthony regained his composure when he saw that Long was safe and sound.

But after listening to the captain's explanation, he gasped.

How could Long deduce it like this?

He didn't catch any useful information at all, and judging from the expressions of Menqi and Gabuvic, it was probably the same.

The three people's minds went blank.

In such a short time, Long analyzed the rules and counterattacked?

"When I transform into an elf, it means that I am also qualified to ask questions. The answerers don't know what the questions are, so they can only rely on gambling..."

"So what's your topic?"

"The question must be consistent with both affirmation and negation, otherwise the rules are useless. My question is very simple. I just want to ask these elves, are you dead?" Long raised the corner of his mouth.

"what?"

Gabwich's mouth opened wide.

Some of the elves answered yes, while others answered no.

According to this statement, the answer is no, so how could he die?

"Among them, those who answered no had their soul fire extinguished by my pressure, not the rules. Because after I answered the question, their 'unchanging' rules have disappeared, and I can easily cause harm to them. The reason I asked the question is that this rule is a closed loop. If I simply kill them, I will still become an elf. Only after they answer the question can I return to my original state." Long explained.

He must make Men Qi and the other two familiar with and gradually understand the "power of rules".

There are signs and indications about the rules and conditions of play, so you must carefully observe and analyze them.

Otherwise...it would be difficult to resist.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, even a strong human of his level would have stopped here.

Men Qi's mouth felt a little dry. Even though Long had explained it very clearly, she couldn't guarantee that she could survive if she were to face this kind of creature again.
