Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 20 The Blonde Lolita in the Desert

When Su Wu saw these various people who resembled criminals, she had only one thought in her mind—it's safe now.

They might also be candidates like him, planning to participate in the 286th Hunter Exam.

These guards all had sinister expressions and exuded ferocity; some of them even had bloodstains on their clothes and weapons.

When Su Wu, a child whose style was completely out of place with everyone else, joined the team, they did not show any dissatisfaction or surprise.

After all, everyone saw what happened not long ago.

However, the Gordo Desert and the surrounding towns do not belong to any country. It is filled with all sorts of people, and apart from some unwritten rules, anything can be done here.

No one would stop them, so gang members and thieves often frequented the taverns, hotels, or brothels here, and occasionally they would cause trouble after drinking too much.

This is why caravans coming here all need guards.

Su Wu's previous demonstrated abilities meant that he would not be underestimated because of his appearance.

Even though his demeanor wasn't serious at all, and he was playing with the camels instead, he didn't look like a proper guard at all, making everyone else seem like a team specifically escorting this young master.

The group packed their things quickly. Su Wu sat on a camel, which was also carrying the caravan's luggage, water bags, and other items.

His weight is not a burden for a camel.

The rest of the group also rode camels, and the group quickly left the town and entered the desert. The long procession headed towards the sun and disappeared with the sandstorm.

The caravan moved slowly through the desert. Su Wu sat on a camel, swaying with its movements. He was also wrapped in a white cloth robe, which was fortunately soft and not rough.

It all stemmed from the intense sunlight and... the sandstorms flying everywhere.

You might even end up with a mouthful of yellow sand when you open your mouth.

The rough sand stings as it scrapes against your cheek.

Su Wu could use her mental power and incantations to protect her entire body, but ultimately it was not as effective as Wu Xia.

"My limitless..." Su Wu desperately wanted to obtain the limitless skill, but there was still a 40% compatibility requirement before she could achieve it.

Even if he understands the principle of how to use it, he won't be able to use the skill if the system doesn't unlock it.

Because that's Gojo Satoru's exclusive skill.

If he can learn the skills on his own, there's no need for him to follow the system's instructions and grind for so-called compatibility.

Is the system planning to make him get stabbed in the neck like Gojo Satoru before increasing his compatibility?

Only his Nen ability belongs to him, but... it's not very easy to control.

The reversal techniques he was able to obtain came from Su Nuo, and could not be learned on his own.

As for Black Flash... the system didn't count it as a skill, I wonder if it's because this skill only depends on personal luck.

Anyway, the system's previous statement said that the system has the right to interpret everything, so there's no point in discussing this.

With this in mind, Su Wu continued to cultivate her mind.

The caravan traveled through the desert for most of the day, and it still seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance, until someone heard a faint cry.

"The sound of crying in the desert? Could it be some kind of magical beast using it to lure humans?" someone in the guard team speculated.

"She's human, a little girl who looks about my age." Su Wu raised her eyes listlessly, her voice indifferent.

Of course, he was only referring to appearance; as for the other person in reality...

She could fool others, but not Liu Yan; the other party was definitely not an ordinary little girl.

Even though the other party deliberately disguised themselves as an ordinary person, letting their aura slowly flow from the top of their head, and showing no signs of using Nen.

But judging people by their appearance is not about recognizing them from their outward appearance, but about seeing beyond the surface to their most essential qualities.

"A little girl?!" The caravan members were somewhat surprised, except for the leader, who initially showed a hint of doubt, but quickly adopted the same surprised expression as the others.

"How could there be a little girl in the desert?" Everyone expressed the same question.

Su Wu yawned, her expression indifferent.

Yes, surely no one would really believe that there's a delicate and adorable little girl in the desert waiting for your help?

It's more likely that a bunch of Medusas live in the desert than that.

"Could you please arrange for someone to go and take a look?" The merchant leading the group then looked at the members of the escort team.

According to established custom, employers should not be the ones to face dangerous situations; otherwise, why would they bother hiring a security team?

That's exactly why they're allowed to step in at times like this.

The guard team consisted of dozens of members. They looked at each other, exchanging glances, none of them willing to be the first to step forward and potentially face danger.

Seeing this, Su Wu had a guess in her mind—

Could this also be part of the assessment?

Is it a test of kindness? Courage? Responsibility? Or vigilance?

If it were an assessment, what should he do in this situation?

As Su Wu pondered, he dismounted from the camel. "I'll go take a look," he said casually.

"Young man, what's this...?" The team leader looked at the white-haired boy with some suspicion.

Rather than assessing the situation, the other party's indifferent expression and cold, piercing eyes seemed to say, "I'm going to kill them."

"Just in case there's a trap ahead, but we should still go and check it out, just in case..." Su Wu paused for a moment, her tone becoming somewhat teasing.

"Is there really a weak, pitiful little girl in need of help waiting for us to save her?" A faint smile appeared on his face.

It didn't look like they were pitying an unknown little girl; rather, it looked like they were... mocking something.

"We'll go with you." Three more guards dismounted from their camels and horses and walked to Su Wu's side.

Whether it was genuine goodwill or a shared suspicion with Su Wu that this was also part of the test, it's unclear.

Su Wu didn't care. He walked step by step toward the source of the sound, even deliberately slowing down his pace.

Just so that some guy pretending to be a weak little girl can act a little longer.

Since the other person likes to act like a weak, crybaby girl, then let them cry their fill.

The little girl's cries grew louder and louder as time went on, even becoming somewhat hoarse.

Hearing the other person suddenly cough while crying, Su Wu finally felt satisfied and resumed her normal pace after deliberately slowing down.

In just a few steps, I reached the place where the sound came from.

A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, with blonde hair and big eyes, wearing a red short cloak and a little skirt, was sitting on the sand, covering her face with her hands and crying.

She probably couldn't cry anymore, which is why she covered her face with her hands.

Su Wu inwardly chuckled with amusement, but outwardly asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I...I'm called Lucy..."

"My father brought me here and told me to wait for them, and then they left..." the blonde girl said slowly, her voice trembling with tears.

The three adults looked at each other and gleaned some information from the little girl's words.

If this girl really did what she said, then she must have been abandoned by her parents.

Deliberately abandoning the child in the Gordo Desert was probably intended to make the child disappear completely.

At night, monsters in the desert come out to hunt for food, and the frail little girl will obviously become their primary target.

"What should we do?" The three adults instinctively looked at the white-haired boy, and only realized something was wrong after they asked the question out loud.

They actually took this boy for granted and treated him as their leader!

Seemingly realizing that the white-haired boy was the one with the right to speak, the blonde girl suddenly stood up, crying as she reached out to hug the boy's waist, saying, "Please, I don't want to stay here. Monsters will come out and eat me tonight..."

The next second, her expression froze.

"Stay away from me." The white-haired boy frowned. As she tried to pounce on him, he instantly retreated several meters, creating distance between them. At the same time, an invisible slash struck her head.

Something light and airy seemed to have fallen onto the sand.

The blonde girl, Bisky, slowly looked down and saw half of her own braid.

Only one of her pigtails remained.

this……

What an unlovable brat!!!
