Chapter 36 Hua Shi Dou Lang
Chapter 36 Hua Shi Dou Lang
After a while, Ji Dou and the other two were brought back to their senses. As soon as they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a small grove of trees, tied to the trees.
Among them, Li Bei Duo suffered the most, being bound by Ai Li Ji's whips and almost crying from fright.
You should know that Tanuki's double whips are powered by a million volts, just like Pikachu's million volts.
With just a slight push of the switch, voltage would be transmitted from the handle to the wire whip, a voltage that most people couldn't withstand.
Eligi suspects that the raccoon dog spent a lot of money making this whip.
"It's a misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding. We were also instructed by someone, just like you said, we were used as pawns." Li Bei said anxiously, probably the one here who knew the power of these two whips the most.
That's probably why they're in such a hurry!
"I pushed the switch, zzzzz—" Eligi mimicked turning on the power, and Tanuki was so frightened that he foamed at the mouth. This phenomenon really did look like the aftermath of being electrocuted.
Seeing this, Eligi was also somewhat surprised. He didn't expect the other party to be so easily frightened. After all, he was a Nen user. He shouldn't be like this.
Then they had to find someone else to interrogate, so Eligi turned his two whips toward killing Hisoka—the guy who, like Hisoka, had a thick layer of white foundation on his face.
Before they could finish, Sha Dasuo confessed that they had taken action because of a note, which was inside the arena.
"It's just a note? Then you're not worth anything. What can you find out from a note?" Eligi said, stroking his chin.
"Money, we can give you money! We can give you all the money we have on us," Sha Dasuo said anxiously. Money was probably the most valuable thing they had right now.
Although the three who killed Da Suo were all disabled, they had been on the 200th floor all along, and each of them still had hundreds of millions of assets. Even their liquid assets were estimated to be over 100 million.
Don't underestimate the strength of a player who stays on the 200th floor for a long time.
"Talking about money is a bit cliché. Okay, I agree!" Eligi agreed without much thought. As for investigating the person behind it all, that would definitely be done, but money makes things much easier.
Thus, they exchanged 100 million jenny each for the lives of the two men, along with several properties near the arena, to regain their freedom.
Ailiji wasn't greedy; the property was still registered in all three names, as they were only temporarily residing there.
As a result, Eliji's assets rose to 390 million jini.
As for why it wasn't 400 million, you'd have to ask Tsunade.
Having received the money and learned where the property was located, Ailiji naturally kept his promise and released the three of them.
After releasing the three, Ailiji asked curiously, "Even if you win ten matches, you only qualify to challenge the Lord. How are you so confident you can win?"
"Currently, the thirty positions for the floor leader are vacant, so we only need to win ten matches to become the floor leader directly, without actually challenging the floor leader," Sha Dasuo revealed the truth.
After hearing this, Ailiji suddenly realized why people like Sha Dasuo, who weren't very strong, still had the hope of challenging the leader. It turned out that the leader's position was currently vacant.
"Can we leave now?" Sha Dasuo asked somewhat timidly. He never expected that a few guys from the hundredth floor would have such strength. This time, he had met his match.
"Let's go! Don't do such dirty things again." Eligi didn't make things difficult for the three of them and let them leave.
After watching the three leave, Eligi looked at the note and asked Kiba, "Can Akamaru find the person who left the note?"
Akamaru can detect prey up to ten kilometers away in the wild by smell, but in the city, there is a lot of interference with smells, which greatly reduces this distance.
"No problem, leave it to Akamaru!"
"Woof woof—"
Kiba and Akamaru both seemed very confident, so after the group finished their meal, they began to explore according to the note. Eventually, they found a room for the competition on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena.
"Also a contestant from the 200th floor?" Eligi was somewhat surprised. He went up to take a look and found that the door was open, and there was a white-haired man drinking tea inside.
"You are the contestants from the 100th floor, Eligi. Have you been training lately? I haven't seen you competed." Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind Eligi.
When Ailiji turned around, he saw the man in the room. When he looked back at the room, there was no one there anymore.
"Oh! Shadow Clone Technique, huh? You look familiar. You seem to be Hua Shi Tou Lang, the star player from the 200th floor, the guy Hisoka took down." Eligi accidentally let it slip.
However, Hua Shi Tou Lang was indeed defeated by Hisoka once before, it seems that it was on that occasion that Hisoka helped Hua Shi Tou Lang activate his Nen.
The fact that Hisoka took a liking to Hua Shidou proves that he has exceptional talent.
When Hua Shidou heard about Hisoka, his originally gentle expression turned extremely ugly: "Did Hisoka send you here? Go back and tell Hisoka that I will be waiting for him in the final match and defeat him to take the position of Lord."
"Don't misunderstand, we're not familiar with Hisoka. We found our way here based on this piece of paper," Eligi said, handing the paper to Hua Shidou.
Hua Shidou glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "It's not my notebook. Although I've been keeping an eye on you, I would have fought in the arena. But it's really surprising that these guys are all Nen beasts you summoned. No wonder they could see through my clone technique at a glance. So you've developed a similar ability too."
"Hehehe, it seems you've been misled by some people with ulterior motives. But your clone technique is really not very good. Your main body's clothes are dirty, but your clone remains clean. A master can tell the difference at a glance," Eligi said with a smile.
Hua Shidoulang was taken aback upon hearing this; he had never imagined that such a problem would exist.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore." Eligi waved goodbye to Hua Shidoulang. He was certain that it wasn't the other party who made the move, because he knew this guy well—an arrogant Enhancer.
Just as Hua Shi Dou Lang said, even if they were to take action against Eligi and his group, it would be on the competition stage, not through any underhanded tactics.
Furthermore, Hua Shi Tou Lang should also be a wild Nen user, otherwise, as an Enhancement type, he wouldn't have developed Manipulation and Conjuration types of abilities.
Ailiji took the paper back to his room and examined the handwriting for a while. The only information he could glean was that the person who wrote the note was likely a woman.
Of course, it's also possible that it was a man in disguise, so the trail eventually went cold.
"There's nothing we can do but wait for that guy to show his tail next time?" Eligi said, stroking his chin.
"Perhaps we could have Kakashi-sensei summon his ninja dogs and see what happens. Maybe that will yield different results," Kiba suggested.
Eligi glanced at Ya: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go, we still need to go check out the 200th floor."
