Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 19 Holding His Head Too High

He turned the card over and saw a line of small, barely visible text.

[The Rightful Pope] Buff Card.

Buff cards? Does that mean they can add good buffs to people? Then there should also be debuff cards, which can add debuffs to people.

But what are the Pope's buffs?

Su Wu, under the influence of the Pope's card, spent half a day in District 12 and finally came to a general conclusion.

Currently, we can conclude that the Pope has three effects: First, his persuasive abilities are enhanced.

This can be verified by what he said and what the children and West Germans believed.

Second: It will attract little boys and gain their favor.

This can be seen in the boys in District 12 who are looking at him with eyes full of dependence.

It didn't have any special effect on little girls.

Third: It will make people unconsciously make offerings.

Well, for example, West Germany has already gone back to retrieve his so-called hidden savings.

The children holding food and wanting to offer it as a sacrifice also prove the effectiveness.

No other effects have been observed yet, perhaps because he used it in the wrong direction.

But the second effect of the Pope card, increasing the little boy's favorability? What a ridiculous joke...

Su Wu looked at the second result with a blank expression, her mind in turmoil.

And the third effect is practically designed to bankrupt people.

Look at these children who are penniless and might not even have anything to eat if they leave the church, yet we still give them food.

As a well-educated person with Schrödinger's moral bottom line, he felt—

This ability is really fun.

However, Su Wu had no interest in the food that the children were hiding and reluctant to eat. He waved them away and looked at Sid who was hurrying back.

The other person was holding a somewhat worn-out wallet, which had obviously been used for a long time, and enthusiastically took out several cards from the wallet.

"This is all my savings right now. Take it all; you'll definitely need it." Sid tried to stuff things into Su Wu's hand.

"And this, you can get a hundred million by mortgaging this hunter's license, maybe it'll come in handy..." He looked like he was so obsessed that he didn't even want to keep his underwear for himself.

The Pope card... is really bad.

Su Wu inwardly feigned condemnation of her own abilities.

"I don't need the hunter's license. What's your bank card PIN?" The white-haired, blue-eyed boy's mischievous smile was undisguised as he casually took West Germany's bank card.

West Germany has five bank cards; I wonder how much money is in them.

"The password is..." Sid obediently recited the password for each card.

"Okay, I'll take it then." Su Wu nodded, then made a few hand gestures in a serious manner. "God will bless you." He patted Sid's chest, subtly stuffed the card back into the other's clothes, took the backpack that the other had prepared for him, dug out the things he had buried under the church, and left Meteor City without hesitation.

I have no lingering feelings for this place that served as my starting point and where I spent several months.

The reason Su Wu didn't initially think of leaving District 13 was because the endless garbage dumps distracted him.

Liu Yan kept analyzing the garbage, and the sheer volume of information made him want to get away from it as soon as possible.

Just like now, as soon as he arrived in District 13, Six Eyes was forced to start analyzing this garbage. Fortunately, he was already skilled at stuffing wads of paper into his nasal cavity to stop the nosebleed that was about to flow out.

Walking along the garbage heap outwards to the edge, you'll find only a wall that's neither high nor low, offering no real protection.

Far ahead, Meteor City was already left behind him.

The air gradually became fresher, and the faint, putrid, and sour smell disappeared.

[Host detected to have left Meteor Street, the spawn point. Main quest now issued.]

Task 1: Find the seven beauties.

Task Two: Explore the current world.

The current world exploration progress is 0.1%.

[You can travel through time again after completing the main quest.]

Seven beauties?

When Su Wu saw the mission, the first three names that came to mind were those of three people.

Kuroroshi Soilumi?

But he quickly shook his head. He was wrong, wrong. The seven beauties were not people, but things. He only remembered the fiery red eyes, and had no recollection of the other six.

It seems I still need to get a hunter's license first; it will make exploring the world and finding things much easier.

The 0.1% world exploration progress is quite infuriating, because he's only staying in Meteor City? Is he supposed to travel the whole world?

They really know how to make things difficult for people.

Su Wu took out the other two cards she had drawn earlier.

[Reversed Tower] - A card that reduces damage.

[Upright Sun] Boost Card.

There was no specific explanation of the effect behind it, but a line of numbers was decreasing, reminding him that he should use these two cards as soon as possible.

But he was curious about what would happen if he didn't have to go out.

With three minutes remaining on the countdown card, he decided to wait a moment.

Three minutes later—

The elderly man with white hair, though physically frail, was full of energy and began his journey with a blank expression.

Now he knew what would happen if he didn't use up his cards before the countdown ended.

Both cards will be used on him.

At the same time, we also learned about some of the effects of these two cards.

【Reversed Tower】Effect 1: Aging.

【Upright Sun】Effect 1: Increased Energy.

Using these two cards together made him realize what incongruity truly meant.

His body was old and his movements were sluggish, but his energy seemed inexhaustible. It was as if he was wearing an ill-fitting garment, with everything tense and uncomfortable.

Especially since he was wearing the Pope's robes, he looked even more like a qualified old Pope.

His appearance made him even reluctant to use Cang for high-speed movement, and he quickly entered the territory inhabited by humans.

This feeling of mismatch between soul and body lasted for twenty-four hours.

The first thing to disappear was his papal robes, and after a moment, he returned to his original appearance.

His skin was smooth and firm, and he was handsome, still quite young, looking like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

He touched his face and let out a long sigh of relief.

He is somewhat afraid of aging, and at least for now, he is not psychologically prepared to face his own aging process.

In addition to this, he also has a fear of marriage and childbirth; it can be said that he has all the fears that contemporary young people have.

Of course, this doesn't conflict with his finding his abilities very interesting.

After all, these card abilities can actually be used on other people, so we can try them out on others later.

Judging from the time he drew the card, the time limit should be half an hour. He must use the card within half an hour, whether for himself or someone else. If he does not use it for someone else within half an hour, the card effect will apply to himself.

Furthermore, card abilities can be stacked, but because card draws are entirely random, the effects are highly unpredictable.

If I remember correctly, there are a total of 78 Tarot cards. The effects of each randomly drawn card combination are different, and after drawing three cards, you have to wait 24 hours before you can draw again.

It's a skill that feels very difficult to control.

Tarot cards inherently embody the principles of nature and are often referred to as the repository of nature's mysteries.

In that case, his Nen ability is called—

"The Wheel of Law," he named his power.

"Now we can get going." He roused himself and finally agreed to use Cang to travel.

……

There is a small town called Gordo, which is located on the edge of the Gordo Desert. It was originally a market where caravans traveling through the desert traded goods, and gradually it became a small town with a fixed population.

Although the town is small, it has a large population, and you can see caravans leading camels coming and going.

"I can't quite remember the Hunter Exam process." Su Wu walked on the stone path, trying hard to recall the original plot.

He only remembered the role and some addresses; he had almost completely forgotten the specific exam content.

Although he didn't finish watching the anime.

"It seems that the Hunter Association will recruit some ordinary people or even magical beasts to be navigators. If you want to find the official venue, you have to contact the navigators or something like that..." He thought of this and looked around.

There were plenty of ordinary people and camels, but I didn't see any monsters...

他开局掉落流星街的时候是1997，1月8号，而现在时间是1997年十二月25号。

He had to arrive at the official venue of the Hunter Exam on January 7, 1998, to register on-site, and it seems he also had to sign a waiver of liability.

In 1998, he was going to participate in the 286th Hunter Exam. Gon and Killua participated in the 287th exam in 99. He still remembered the exam location, but that would mean waiting another year.

He probably won't need a hunter's license anymore after a year.

For him, the hunter's license was merely a ticket to his journey of traveling the world.

The town is mostly populated by adult men, who are about 1.8 meters tall and all carry knives or guns. They are dressed like either gangsters or robbers.

Women and children are rarely seen. Even when there are women, they are all burly and thick-waisted, with arms thicker than Su Wu's thighs. They have fierce expressions, and even though they are wrapped in coarse cloth to block the wind, sand and scorching sun, their skin is still rough and dark from the environment.

The children all looked like dark-skinned monkeys, and most of them only stayed in their own small area in front of their homes.

Fruit shops, weapon shops, antique shops, clothing stores, pubs, hotels...

These places seemed deserted, but Six Eyes sensed prying eyes coming from all directions.

Su Wu's presence was quite conspicuous in this small town, like a soft, white lamb mixed in with a bunch of black goats.

"These days, even a kid like this is getting out and doing things." A group of burly men, gathered together with mocking expressions, glanced at the skinny boy and said sarcastically.

"With such fair skin, I wonder where this young master came from. He's probably dreaming of becoming a hunter."

"Look at his tattoos, they're probably just drawn on to scare people, aren't they?"

Several burly men stood by an alley, arms crossed, leaning on each other, laughing and talking louder and louder, seemingly oblivious to being overheard.

When Su Wu heard the keywords "fair skin" and "tattoos," she turned to look at the other person.

So it turns out he was the one we were talking about.

"What are you looking at, kid? Go home and drink more milk to grow taller." The burly men were not flustered at all when they saw the boy looking at them as if he had noticed something. Instead, they leisurely mocked him.

To demonstrate their power, they even took a few steps forward as a group, closing in on the boy.

These burly men, each 1.9 to 2 meters tall, looked down at Su Wu, who was still a boy. Their towering figures surrounded him, completely blocking out the sunlight behind them, and this small area was shrouded in shadow.

Several people from the caravan not far away looked over, seemingly wanting to prevent the situation from becoming more serious.

The boy surrounded by the group had a cold expression; he merely raised his eyelids indifferently and looked at them.

An invisible pressure descended along with the gaze the boy cast at him.

"You're holding your head too high," he said calmly.

This area seemed to be completely separated from the bustling surrounding space; no one could hear the voices of those around them anymore, only the pounding of their own hearts.

It seems that some great terror is about to occur.

A sudden, inexplicable sense of foreboding arose, and one of the burly men instinctively knelt down on the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing..." The other burly men spoke with dissatisfaction, but before they could finish their sentences, they never got a chance to.

His words were abruptly interrupted by some sudden, unavoidable force.

All that followed were the extremely shrill screams that rose and fell.

"Whoosh—" "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh—"

The bodies of the people who were standing were as if they had fallen from the sky, and an invisible weapon split them in two. The two halves of their bodies fell to opposite sides, and their internal organs were also cut up. Bloodstained pieces of internal organs fell to the ground, and the undigested contents of the cut intestines flowed on the ground, becoming longer and longer as the half-bodies crawled.

The person who was not completely dead hugged their lower body, crying and trying to put it back together.

The burly man squatting on the ground hadn't opened his tightly closed eyes when he heard the sound. He only opened his eyes in fear when he felt a warm liquid splash on him, and what he saw was a scene that looked like hell on earth.

He looked down at himself; his body was splattered with the blood of his comrades, bright red and scalding hot.

Although not yet dead, he was in a state worse than death.

He stared blankly at the culprit, his eyes wide and stiff. The beautiful, slender boy glanced at him, a playful smile curving his lips as he said:

"You made the right choice."

He looked up at the boy with eyes full of fear and understood what the other meant.

If he hadn't been quick enough to crawl on the ground, he would now be one of those people lying on the ground, broken in two like worms.

He looked into those blue eyes that were looking down at them, and felt a surge of heat between his legs, wetting his pants and the ground.

[Congratulations, host! Your compatibility with the character Su Nuo has increased.]

[Current character compatibility: Gojo Satoru 20%, Ryomen Sukuna 20%]

Hearing the system notification, Su Wu felt much better and kindly decided to let the lucky person who made the right choice off the hook.

He wasn't actually deliberately cosplaying Gojo Satoru or Ryomen Sukuna to increase his compatibility with the characters. He's a cosplayer, but that doesn't mean he wants to be a cosplayer all the time in real life. You can tell from the fact that the characters he cosplays are all based on his own personal interpretations that he just likes to create fun.

If his compatibility with Gojo Satoru didn't have the initial 20% bonus based on appearance, his compatibility would clearly be higher than Sukuna's.

His nature is more inclined towards the dualistic Sukuna.

"Hey kid over there, want to join our caravan?" a voice called out, but Su Wu ignored it.

Until the other party called it again.

"Hey there, you white-haired boy with tattoos, wanna join our caravan?"

The clear direction made Su Wu look up at the other person.

A dark-skinned man wearing a white robe and a white cloth wrapped around his head was waving enthusiastically at him. The man wore a gold necklace and gemstone rings on the index fingers of both hands, making him look glittering and exuding an air of wealth.

The other members of the opposing team were dressed the same way.

The image looks familiar; it's quite like that person from the richest country in the world who wears a cloth on his head.

Seeing that the other party had finally paid them any attention, the caravan leader grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"Young man, would you like to take a look at our mission?"

Could this guy be a mentor recruited by the Hunter Association? Like the captain of the ship Gon was on, he's also an examiner?

With that in mind, Su Wu stepped forward and walked to the front of the other caravan.

"A mission?" He looked at the recruitment notice hanging on the camel's back.

The text above roughly means—

[Recruiting a guard team to escort caravans across the Gordo Desert. Room and board provided. Salary negotiable.]

The boy, carrying a white backpack, wearing a simple sleeveless vest, with white hair and fair skin, and mysterious and strange tattoos on his face and arms, half-closed his seemingly bewitching blue eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

The team leader waited quietly for the other party to make a decision.

But after thinking for a moment, the other person asked with great interest:

"Can I ride a camel?"

what?

The team leader's expression betrayed a hint of surprise, but he quickly nodded happily, "Of course, you can ride for as long as you want!"

"Then there's no problem, let's go." Su Wu agreed readily, urging them on without even asking how much it would cost.

"Alright everyone, the guards are all ready. Pack up and get ready to go!" The leader shouted back in one direction.

Suddenly, groups of two or three adults appeared from the surrounding hotels.

They carried all sorts of weapons: guns, bows and arrows, machetes, spiked clubs, and more.

Their appearances and expressions were all increasingly ferocious.

Only Su Wu carried a backpack, her hands empty, like a primary school student on a field trip.
