The Seven Deadly Sins of Hunter x Hunter
Chapter 147 x
Oh my god!
Danica's pupils shrank and her heart beat rapidly. She was very sure that she had never seen these people before.
But as long as she thought about it for a moment, she understood why these people came. It was probably...
Danica immediately returned to her room, quickly put on her clothes, took her keys, mobile phone, and wallet, gently opened the window, jumped down from the bedroom window on the second floor, and hid in the bushes in the yard.
Inside, he quietly sneaked towards the garage.
Nervousness, fear, fear, and all kinds of negative emotions were exerted on Danica at this moment.
At this moment, she finally understood what Johnny was feeling when he contacted her.
"Those people should be the people from Umbrella!"
Danica thought for a while and quickly locked on the clues. The three men in black must be people sent by Umbrella Company, and there was only one reason.
After all, she is just a reporter, and there is no way she would offend anyone to the extent of breaking into a house in the middle of the night.
But with a strong psychological quality, she suppressed all the mixed emotions in her heart, tiptoed to the garage, took out her keys and climbed into the driver's seat.
Johnny couldn't be contacted, so he must have been poisoned by them.
And because he had investigated Johnny's reasons, he must have been targeted by those people, so he sent someone to deal with the tail.
In this case, the company named Umbrella must have some dirty secrets.
She was no longer a rookie, so she knew that this situation might have touched the dark side of the company, so the other party wanted to send someone to kill her.
As a reporter, she knew this was very possible, and she had heard and seen many similar incidents.
Some companies may appear glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes there are things that go against human ethics and the law.
These include drug trafficking by short-selling companies, corporate power infiltrated by other countries, and even some attempts to steal the country’s cutting-edge technological secrets.
"There is no other way. Although I really don't want to go to him, he is the only one who can help me now."
A trace of struggle flashed in Danica's eyes, she stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the garage.
In the apartment, two men in black suits searched the living room and guest rooms on the first floor. When they came to the second floor, they saw a bedroom door open and stepped inside.
"The air conditioner is still on, the quilt is still warm, and the slippers are in the room. The person just left."
Their companion was standing in front of the bed, stretched out his hand to touch under the quilt, looked up at the air conditioner and the slippers on the floor, and said in a deep voice.
"Chichi..."
Just when he made this judgment, there was a sound of the rolling shutter door opening from outside, accompanied by the roar of a car engine. The expressions of the three people suddenly changed, and they immediately went downstairs to the door of the first floor.
I happened to see a white SUV disappearing around the corner.
"Notify the supervisor."
The three of them looked at the street where the white SUV disappeared, looking at each other and nodding. One of the men in black pressed his wireless headset and reported something.

During the epidemic, the city was especially quiet at night.
Usually, even late at night, there will be many pedestrians wandering on the streets. They may have just finished their late-night snacks or are returning home after having fun in the bar.
But now, not a single soul could be seen on the street, and there was no sound except the sound of the engine of the car beneath her feet.
Half an hour later.
"Chichi..."
A white SUV parked on the roadside outside the courtyard of an old apartment building. Danica opened the door, stepped on the cold ground with her bare feet, and looked around with a wary look.
Seeing that there was no one around, he took a step forward with confidence.
This is the old community of Patirus. Although the living environment is a little worse than Danica's community, it is more suitable for senior living than most communities in the city.
Once upon a time, Danica also thought about whether she would live in an old community like this when she gets old, doing nothing every day and hanging out and chatting with some old men and women in the community.
But alas, nothing lasts forever.
Danica pushed open the fence gate of the yard, stepped into a land that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and pressed the doorbell with mixed emotions.
"Ding dong~"
The familiar doorbell rang, and Danica waited at the door for about a minute, but there was no movement in the room.
Danica felt hesitant, but she had a glimmer of hope. She hoped that the person would open the door and stand in front of her.
"You won't be at home, right?"
Danica stood barefoot at the door, tightened her thin windbreaker, raised her arm again and pressed the doorbell.
"Click..."
Just as she raised her arms, the apartment door slowly opened, but not completely. It only opened a crack. Looking through the crack, you could see an iron chain connecting the door and the door frame.
"Danica?"
A man with a haggard look and a shaggy beard looked at her outside the door with a puzzled look on his face.
"Kengsuke..."
Danica looked at the mature, haggard man's face in the door with a complex expression, and whispered his name.
The man inside the door glanced at Danica's clothes, and his eyes paused on his bare white feet.
"Alas~"
He closed his eyes gently, sighed, and closed the door. The sound of iron chains clattered inside the door, and then the door clicked open.
"Come in and talk about anything."
The man opened the door and stood on the left side of the door. Danica stepped out with her bare feet on the soft carpet, and instantly felt a lot warmer in her heart.
"sit down."
The man, who had shoulder-length hair parted to the side, motioned for Danica to sit on the sofa. He poured a cup of hot water for her, placed it on the coffee table in front of her, and sat opposite him.
"Tell me, come to me so late, what trouble have you caused?"
Danica held the warm cup with both hands and took a sip of hot water. When the other party said this, her face turned red instantly.
The man in front of her is her ex-boyfriend.
His name is Tenjin Kosuke, and he claims to be a samurai from a small country in the east.
Not only that, he also runs a detective agency.
In fact, this man is very good. Danica has been dating him for two years and has deep feelings for him.
But if you want to ask why they broke up, the reason is that this man is too busy and often goes out, sometimes not coming home for two or three months.
Danica couldn't stand such a man who didn't care about her family, and she was also on the rise in her career at the time, so she just broke up with him without giving up.
Counting the time, the two have broken up for more than a year.
But even so, the two still kept in touch.
"I, I have something to ask you for help with."
After a while, Danica regained her thoughts, and regardless of the embarrassment, she took out her phone and showed him the photos inside.
"What's this?"
"The photo you took in the hospital morgue?"
Tenjin Kosuke took the mobile phone handed over by Danika, looked down at the photos inside, and gently pressed the buttons with his fingers, passing through the photos one by one.
"..."
Danica was speechless for a moment, and then directly told him what happened tonight, the reasons why, and her suspicions about this company.
"Umbrella Corporation?"
Tenjin Kosuke squinted his eyes slightly, and Danica looked at this familiar face with the help of the light.
It's this kind of expression, this kind of expression that makes it impossible to tell what he's really thinking.
Danica looked at the man in front of her, and she was initially attracted by this expression.
You must know that she is a reporter and is best at observing people's emotions, but she can't see anything from the face of the man in front of her.
"Kosuke?"
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Danica called out tentatively.
"wait."
Tenjin Kosuke stood up, took out a laptop from the bedroom, and sat down on the sofa next to Danica. The two were next to each other. Danica's face turned red, but she didn't say anything.
"Umbrella Company, I know this company, but I don't pay much attention to it."
"Let me check..."
Kosuke Tenjin turned on the computer, entered the password, and entered a website in front of Danica that she had never seen or heard of.
"Umbrella Company, its full name is Umbrella Biotechnology Company, its main business is..."
Tenjin Kosuke entered the four keywords Umbrella into the search bar of the website, hit the Enter key, and a large list of search results about Umbrella Biotechnology Company immediately popped up from the bottom.
Danica immediately looked excitedly at everything on Tenjin Kosuke's computer. In fact, she had also searched for information about this company on the Internet, but she could only find the company's registration time and registered capital, as well as its information to the outside world.
Published information.
She couldn't find what she wanted at all.
"What website is this?"
"So magical?"
Danica immediately asked with great interest, but Tenjin Kosuke ignored him and just silently checked the company's information.
"Trouble, Danica..."
After a while, Tenjin Kosuke carefully read the information about Umbrella Biotechnology Company, then turned to look at his ex-girlfriend next to him, his face solemn.
"You have caused a huge trouble this time..."
"What, what's wrong?"
Danica looked at her ex-boyfriend's solemn expression and felt a little surprised.
Tenjin Kosuke always looked calm, and she had never seen Tenjin Kosuke with such a solemn expression.
"This Umbrella Biotechnology Company, from its incorporation to today, only took just over a year, but it has become the world's leading enterprise group."
Tenjin Kosuke looked at the profile information about Umbrella Company on the computer with a solemn expression.
"how come……"
Danica's heightened interest suddenly turned into doubts: How did a company that had only been established for more than a year turn into one of the world's leading large-scale conglomerates?
"Ordinary people probably haven't heard of it."
"But you must have heard of the new antibiotic Umbrella-a, which was developed and produced by this company."
Danica nodded, of course she knew this kind of news.
Some time ago, Umbrella Biotechnology announced the news that Umbrella-a antibiotics can fight the DCM-1 virus, and she was at Pattyrus's press conference at that time.
Although she was very reluctant to not get an exclusive interview with General Manager Alvin afterwards.
"The headquarters of Umbrella Biotechnology Company is in Pegasus. This company is a global multinational company involving pharmaceuticals, medical care, cutting-edge biotechnology and other industries."
"At the same time, it cooperates with governments of many countries and is even involved with certain politicians in Pegrosse."
"And most importantly, the identity of the founder of this company."
Having said this, Tenjin Kosuke's face became more solemn, causing Danica to ask with a worried look.
"What happened to the founder's identity...?"
Tenjin Kosuke glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and called up the photo of the founder of the company, which was none other than Kim Bradley.
"Kim Bradley, a native of the Republic of Bartokia, is a two-star relic hunter in the Hunter Association. He is highly respected by many people within the Hunter Association."
"Especially recently because of the news from Umbrella Biotech that new antibiotics are effective in treating DCM-1."
"The reputation of Kim Bradley and his company has been greatly enhanced among governments and hunter associations around the world."
"Even many ordinary people have a deep impression of this company."
"Danica, it is absolutely impossible for such a huge company to be involved in drug smuggling, let alone someone like Kim Bradley."
"That's a two-star hunter. His contribution to the world alone surpasses 99% of people."
"Regardless of his achievements, it is impossible for any person with a normal IQ to engage in transactions such as drug smuggling with such a huge net worth."
"As for your second and third guesses, they are even more impossible."
"Umbrella Biotechnology is a company strongly supported by Peggrose, and Kim Bradley himself is a two-star hunter. This alone can fundamentally rule out this possibility."
"Besides, if this is really possible, where would it be your turn to take care of it?"
"It has been seized by the Pegasus CIA a long time ago."
As Kosuke Tenjin spoke, he searched around the name Umbrella Biotechnology Company on the hunter website and sorted out a lot of relevant information.
The more they inquired and sorted it out, the more frightened the two of them became, and the more doubtful Danica became.
Such a huge company might not do the things she suspected, but it was true that she was being targeted.
And now, Tenjin Kosuke also told her that this Umbrella company is involved with many politicians in Pegrose, and it is even a company strongly supported by the government.
"Kosuke...what should I do?"
Danica slumped on the sofa. As a reporter, she was also in a state of confusion at this time. She had never encountered such a terrible thing.
Someone wanted to kill her, but she couldn't find any help in this huge country.
It's like being abandoned by the whole world.
"Who else knows about this?"
Tenjin Kosuke turned off the computer and rubbed his brows. Coupled with his haggard expression, he gave people a feeling of worry.
"You and me, two people."
"As for Johnny, he's probably already..."
Danica felt a sense of fear in her heart when she thought of this, she hugged the god Kosuke's arm and said worriedly.
"Give me your phone."
Danica took out her mobile phone and handed it to Kosuke Tengami with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Pa la..."
However, Tenjin Kosuke took her mobile phone and instantly removed the phone card, broke it into two pieces with a "snap" and threw it into a plastic trash can nearby.
"You, what are you doing?"
Danica was a little surprised, but Tengami Kosuke raised the phone and put it back in her hand with a solemn tone.
"This thing is not secure and they can find your location through it."
"Maybe they are on their way here now."
