Chapter 149 Who Stole My Leeks?
The crackling sound of burning wood reached his ears, and the aroma of roasted meat and spices filled his nostrils. Killua opened his eyes.
What I saw was... a few people sitting around a fire roasting meat, their faces glowing red in the firelight.
"Killua, you're awake!" The boy in green clothes turned his head as if sensing something and gave a bright smile.
Ah, it's not a dream.
That's great, Xiao Jie is really alright.
Although he clearly saw the person severely injured, the fact that they recovered so quickly made it seem as if what he had seen before was just an illusion. Something must have happened that he didn't know about, but...
As long as Xiao Jie is alright, that's all that matters.
Killua stood up and sat down next to Gon, naturally picking up the grilled meat and eating it.
"...Delicious." He was absolutely amazed after taking a bite.
"Right, right, I think so too. Mr. Maro's cooking is absolutely amazing!" Xiao Jie praised as he wolfed down his food.
What?! It was that guy's henchman who did it...?
No wonder that guy had people following him; it must be because of his cooking skills.
Killua also joined in the ravenous eating.
Binonut, who was tied up tightly, looked at the group of people who were happily eating barbecue with a face that clearly showed they were having a hard time, and could only swallow his saliva frantically.
I'm so hungry... so hungry...
"You go." Su Wu gestured to Bisky beside her.
"..." Bisky straightened her skirt, stood up, and walked towards Binonut. She untied the ropes binding him and ducked to avoid his attack once he was free.
"Be our teaching assistant."
"You only have two choices: agree or die," she said calmly, her face adorable like a young girl's.
On the left, people are enjoying a barbecue dinner, while on the right, they are fighting fiercely—the contrasting scenes are stark.
"This guy is really calm..." Killua secretly glanced at the white-haired man with a composed expression and whispered.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Jie said nonchalantly. "If something were wrong, the two of us wouldn't be sitting here eating barbecue, would we?"
"...That's not wrong." Killua was speechless, angrily tearing into a large piece of meat.
"I...I understand...I understand..."
After being physically persuaded by Bisky, Binonut, with a bruised and swollen face, finally hugged his head and shouted that he agreed to become a teaching assistant.
Su Wu glanced at the other person's injury, thought for a moment, and then decided not to reach out.
As an assistant instructor, getting injured is no big deal. Although it will make him a little weaker, that weakness will be just right for Killua and the others to use.
If someone is too strong, it becomes a one-sided victory, and you can't see any progress in a one-sided victory.
This is also one of the reasons why Su Wu and Bisky did not choose to personally spar with him.
They are still far too strong for Killua and Gon at this point.
The next day, Binonute, despite her injury, began training with Killua, Gon, and the others.
The group was making progress at a visible pace, and time flew by.
"Something seems to have happened recently..." Su Wu looked up at the sky.
After each player dies, they turn into specks of light and fly into the sky before disappearing, just like they become stars.
But actually, the corpse returned to where the game console was.
Six Eyes observed that there have been more and more bright spots appearing in the sky recently.
Something must have happened.
"You care a lot?" Bisky asked.
The other person doesn't seem like the type to care about other players.
"To be honest, it feels like my resources are being harvested by others..." Su Wu said, stroking her chin thoughtfully.
He didn't recklessly target other players; he wanted to nurture them first before harvesting their profits.
As a result, someone started collecting cards early, which made Su Wu, who had long considered other players' cards as her own, somewhat unhappy.
Bisky looked at the white-haired boy's genuinely displeased expression and hesitated to speak.
How can he take other players for granted and treat them as his own resources? This guy is so despicable!
"I'll go take a look." Su Wu stood up and disappeared from the spot.
“…” Bisky shook her head, not worried about the other person at all.
Given the other party's extraordinary abilities, the probability of something happening to them is even lower than the probability of something happening to her.
Within the game's towns, the number of players has visibly decreased.
All that's left are the NPCs diligently following the storyline.
Players are either dead or hiding, and it's rare to see them on the road.
"Come out." Su Wu stood in the middle of the road and spoke coldly.
A man dressed in green appeared behind him, and on his shoulder near his neck was a bomb that was counting down.
The design of the bomb looked familiar, as if I had seen it before.
"What happened?" Su Wu asked, turning to the side.
"Many people have been deceived. There was an organization that invited us to join in collecting cards, but recently we discovered that the Bomb Demon was hiding in there. Now all the players who joined that organization have had bombs planted on them by the Bomb Demon's abilities..." The man in the green shirt sighed.
"He said if I wanted to defuse the bomb, I should go to the Initial Plains and trade cards with him."
"If you know any other players, remember to tell them about the existence of the Bomber Demon and the conditions for his ability. After touching someone, you need to say the three keywords 'Bomber Demon' to plant a bomb on that person..." the man in green reminded them.
Plant a bomb...
That would require me to actually run into him, right?
"No wonder the players died so quickly," Su Wu said knowingly.
Actually, when you think about it carefully, it's not such a bad thing.
The Bomber is killing players to complete the game level. He could have waited until the Bomber had killed most of the players before reaping the Bomber's spoils.
It can also save a lot of trouble.
"Great, it's decided then." Su Wu clenched one fist and slammed it into the palm of her other hand, making the decision happily.
Let's leave the bomber alive for now.
The man in the green shirt was somewhat puzzled and wary.
Why... why is this kid not only not worried after hearing about the bomber's actions, but even seems happy about it?
Phantom.
Thinking this, he took two steps back, pulled out his card, and left.
Su Wu took the opportunity to observe the initial plains.
Groups of two or three players appeared on the plains, and there were also three players waiting to trade with them.
That blond guy wearing triangular sunglasses must be the Bomb Man, right? He looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before...
Su Wu flipped through her memories and found the other person in the fragments of memories from when she met Bisky and Kuroro in the Republic of Localio.
It was that guy in the tavern who seemed to be trying to provoke us. After he left, there was an explosion outside, and the mine was blown up.
Moreover, the surviving patrons of the tavern also carried the same bombs as the man in the green shirt.
It seems they were the ones who did it.
"How wicked! I will definitely act on behalf of Heaven and avenge everyone." The white-haired boy sat cross-legged in mid-air, pretending to touch his forehead and shoulders with his hands to pray for the players below, surrounded by a semi-transparent dark gray tent like the night sky.
The three Explosive Demons put their thumbs together and shouted the slogan of liberation. As a result, the players who came to them to make a deal with an undefendable bomb died in the explosion.
"It's one of the conditions for using the ability, and they also explained the conditions for using the bomb ability to the man in green before, so it should be similar to how revealing the spell increases its strength..."
"Ah, that's simple. As long as we kill one of the three of them, there'll be no way to liberate them, right?" Su Wu said in a low voice after observing for a moment.
