Six-Eyed Sukuna, starting from Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 6 Children of District 12

The clothes provided by the church were very simple. How simple? Just an old man's vest and a pair of shorts.

Oh right, speaking of which...

Before reaching Zone 3, all the children I saw along the way seemed to be wearing similar clothes.

Why? To save on fabric?

Su Wu, wearing an old man's vest, walked slowly to work with his eyes closed. Although his mana bar had been fully replenished overnight and he could use Cang to move at high speed, who would use mana on their way to work?

The old man's V-neck vest revealed the black tattoos on his arms and neck, while his skin was snow-white, creating a striking contrast between black and white that gave him a strange and sinister charm.

He works at a church in the 12th arrondissement, which is also the area managed by Pampas. The church there is very large and has a lot of staff. Apart from the church members, all the residents are children under the age of eight.

The man, who looked to be in his thirties but was very burly and robust, with brown hair and eyes, dressed as a priest, seemed to have a very good temper and began to explain the situation:

"My name is Sid, the priest of District 12. These are children abandoned in Meteor City, most of them were abandoned shortly after birth."

"You'll understand when you start working."

"We will teach these children how to survive in Meteor City from a young age. After they turn eight, they can no longer stay in District 12 and will need to go to District 13 to survive."

The children in Meteor City have all sorts of hair and eye colors: black, red, blonde, brown, and all kinds of races.

From this perspective, Meteor City is not only a garbage dump, but also a large-scale abandoned baby shelter.

"The church's job is to handle garbage, and of course, there are many kinds of garbage." When he talked about garbage, the man's eyes darkened, and his tone became somewhat dangerous.

Clearly, cleaning up trash is not as simple as it sounds.

"The members of the 12th District are not only responsible for teaching these kids every day, but also for patrolling the area west of Meteor City to bring back abandoned babies who are still breathing."

"As for children over eight years old outside of District Twelve... they can survive on their own." The man said this with an air of confidence that children over eight years old could live independently.

A white-haired, blue-eyed boy with black tattoos on his face and body sat on a church table, swinging his legs lightly and drinking a bottle of milk in one hand.

This is specially supplied to the children in District 12.

"The church will actually support these children for free until they are eight years old..." Su Wu's tone was somewhat subtle.

In his imagination, Meteor City was a place where even four- or five-year-old children were extremely ruthless and would kill for a piece of bread.

In reality, the children in Meteor City actually get along quite harmoniously. They play and bicker, not much different from the outside world.

"This regulation only came into effect a little over a decade ago. Residents from earlier times, like myself, didn't receive such good treatment," Sid said with a hint of envy.

"The existence of District Twelve came about after a group consulted with the Elders' Council."

"Originally, Meteor City only had twelve districts. After that group appeared, the outer part of the twelve districts became the thirteenth district, and the inner part became the current twelve districts." His words revealed his praise for that so-called group.

"That's a really kind sponsoring organization." Su Wu nodded casually, and then grabbed another bottle of milk.

"...This is for those children, you..." Sid's eyes were subtle, and his tone was strange.

Well, this newcomer is just a kid too, I'll just have to put up with it.

"Drink less," he finally said.

Su Wu turned a deaf ear to this. Although she did not go to look specifically, Liu Yan had already observed the situation of the children in the church quite well.

They were all emitting air from their heads, clearly none of them could recite anything, but their physical strength was quite good, and they already had muscles at such a young age.

The boys wore the same old-fashioned vests as Su Wu, while the girls wore vests with more fabric for sleeves, and all wore matching black shorts.

District 12 has a large open space that they use as their training ground.

Throughout the 12th district, one could see people, with over a hundred priests, each leading a group of children.

A group of children were having a fierce battle. Even those who lost and were knocked to the ground weren't angry; instead, they got up and continued the fight.

Because of the large number of children, the scene was quite overwhelming for a moment.

As he watched, he began to get bored.

"I'm going on patrol." He jumped off the table and disappeared into District 12 in an instant.

"...He's probably just slacking off," Sid scoffed.

The white-haired brat's boredom was blatantly obvious on his face, with no intention of hiding it.

Why would the Pampas assign a kid with this kind of personality to District 12?

The kids in District 12 were getting restless when they saw a kid who wasn't much older than them, and they weren't as focused on training as usual.

"What are you looking at? If you don't want to be killed on your first day after being kicked out of District 12, then get back to training!" Sid yelled at a group of children.

After that, the children visibly became more focused during their training.

Su Wu didn't immediately go to patrol District 13, but instead strolled around Meteor Street.

The gate he blasted down yesterday has been replaced overnight, and the residents of each district are very calm, as if it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Just like yesterday when he was being chased, the residents calmly walked past him and went about their business.

The atmosphere in Meteor City is very special, which has given its residents a unique quality.

His indifferent emotions were very stable.

"Which district is the Phantom Troupe in again..." Su Wu slowly walked among the garbage heaps in District 13, watching people in protective suits rummage through the trash and sort it into different categories.

The images of dead infants are frequently seen.

Babies whose umbilical cords hadn't even been cut died prematurely in this garbage dump.

The "cleaners" all seemed quite natural, clearly used to this scene.

"There's still one alive here." One of the cleaners held up what he was holding, his voice calm, showing no joy for the surviving life, just as they showed no sorrow for the dead.

"Let's take him back to District 12 first." The garbage collector handed the baby to Su Wu, who was standing idly to the side.

He didn't wear protective clothing like the others, nor did he join them in sorting the garbage; instead, he stood aside and watched.

They just look at the sky, the ground, and the garbage, but they don't do any work.

When the cleaner handed him the baby, he frowned and didn't reach out, as if facing a monstrous flood.

"Handing me a baby? Is it for me to eat?" He smiled and licked his lips, as if his appetite had been aroused.

He looks like a monster now.

Sukuna prefers the bodies of children and young women, whose flesh must taste much better than that of other groups.

"Take him to District Twelve," the cleaner said, each word distinct, a growing sense of pressure emanating from him.

Liu Yan observed that the other party's aura was exceptionally strong.

Sure enough, the church's cleaners were also Nen users.

Nen users from Meteor City either work for the church or for outside gangs and nobles.

For example, some of the servants in the Zoldyck family come from Meteor City.

"Tsk, I'll let you off this time since you're both church members." Su Wu took the baby with a displeased expression.

"If you talk to me like that again..." He gently raised his right hand.

"Azure".

The sanitation worker was instantly blasted away by the cannonball-like energy, crashing through several mountains of garbage before finally coming to a stop.

When the other person crawled out of the garbage heap, their clothes were completely tattered.

"I'll kill you." The white-haired, blue-eyed boy with black tattoos lowered his brows and warned in a low voice.

Although with his current magical power, he might not be able to do this easily, others don't know that, but in other people's eyes, he has to do it. He has to be fierce enough and have a strong enough personality.

And scaring others is really fun.

[Congratulations, host! Your compatibility with the two-faced Sukuna has increased to 15%.]

The system notification sounded suddenly, and Su Wu's brows relaxed, her mood visibly improving.

The strongest in the nurturing system?
