"Not bad... There are many strong people... If you are interested, you can also join..."
Hazy said calmly.
"Given your personality, you won't ask me easily, so... even if you are on this mission, you may die... Taking such a big risk and sending so many people means... once you succeed, the reward you get will be very generous! What is the reward?"
“I don’t even know…”
Long looked straight into his eyes.
"You can't fool me... In this world, the only thing that can make you move and pursue is power... Blindly, madly... Just like when you were in Gram's park, exercising day and night..."
Hisoka spoke slowly.
"You still dare to come after knowing this...?"
Long looked indifferent.
"I am... afraid that you will die... After all, you can only die in my hands..."
"Don't be naive... You don't stand a chance of winning right now."
His eyes were cold and silent.
"hehe…"
So familiar…
Hisoka had a playful expression... this was the Oboro he knew.
He had stayed at the Fels family residence for a few days before and learned about Long's deeds in recent years, especially during the Sky Arena period... From Fels Lily's description, Long seemed to be a warm person.
But in Gram, at the Moritonio Circus... Oboro was always very cautious, extremely tense, and extremely cold. Why... Because Oboro felt a sense of oppression, a kind of pressure that seemed to threaten his life, hovering over his head and could come at any time!
Even Hisoka, an outsider, could clearly feel that pressure...
It is exactly the same as the blur in front of us.
Cold and heartless...
This is his true face.
No matter how you pretend, you can't change...
It can also be seen from the side how dangerous this mission is.
While the two were talking, Dama came in with a computer in his hand and looked at Long nervously, "Captain... the procedures at the association have been completed. We can enter the country directly after landing. In addition, I found a little information... It is a video that has been deleted by a TV station in the Republic of East Gotuo. There is only one clip, and they didn't process it cleanly and back it up."
Long had instructed everyone to call him captain instead of boss.
Then, the other four people in the team also entered the restaurant.
The image on the screen starts playing.
It was a group of soldiers from Dongguodo who were shooting a large number of Bozwa people with guns in a forest... The scene was very tragic.
The person who filmed the scene was obviously a war reporter for the TV station. The video was very short, only a dozen seconds long.
Before I could get a closer look, the image stopped abruptly and the screen turned black.
"what is that?"
Beside him, a Nen user named Kaki exclaimed as if he had observed something.
Long had already raised his hand and pressed the play button again, and scrolled to the last second of the video and clicked pause.
In front of the camera, there was a shadow flying towards us, frozen in mid-air.
Judging from their clothes and attire, they should be members of the Bozwa ethnic group.
The problem is, this blurry figure... is obviously dead.
Even the head was gone...some organs were thrown out of the abdomen.
How can a dead person burst out with such speed and strength?
Long looked at Dangeree.
The latter immediately said, "Dongguotu is a dictatorship. The operation of this system is to satisfy the monarch's selfish desires. The common people can only be oppressed and exploited... When I went to Dongguotu before, I heard that the monarch at that time forced a large number of people to become free laborers in order to repair the capital. If they disobeyed the order, they would be shot on the spot."
"The king is also a hereditary successor... The newly appointed monarch seems to be more brutal, but tribes like the Bozwa are generally small in number and located in remote areas... It is difficult to be found and noticed. A massacre of this scale... is likely to have an irreconcilable conflict with the army."
"There are rich mineral resources in Dongguotu... maybe..."
"You mean to say that the Bozwa tribe's base may be occupying the resource point that the kingdom is going to mine..." asked Long.
"Yes."
Dangeree nodded.
Of course, none of this inferred information is the key.
It is not mission-core.
The key is to find out the hidden threat of the Bozwa tribe... As for the conflict between Dongguotu and the tribe, it is not within the scope of the mission.
"Under what circumstances, a person can still fight after he dies?"
He glanced at Hisoka.
"My guess is the same as yours."
Hisoka didn't answer directly, but smiled slightly as if he saw what he was thinking.
This kind of thing that goes against common sense...can only be explained by "thoughts".
Chapter 76 War
Wherever there are people, there are people with the ability to read.
Judging from the scenes presented by the Bozwa tribe in the video, there is very likely a user of operation-type Nen in their tribe. Of course... it is also possible that he has other types of Nen abilities.
But I always feel that it is not that simple...
They arrived at Dongguotu from the Republic of Batocia, almost across the entire continent of Yubian, and it took them half a month to reach the border of this closed small country.
Looking around, several old buildings and some facilities stand at the foot of the slightly desolate mountains.
The area within a radius of dozens of miles was surrounded by a long barbed wire and fence, and soldiers were patrolling back and forth... The surrounding scenery was okay, not pleasing to the eye, but acceptable.
There are mountains and water...
The only thing I can't see is any technological product...
Only inside the checkpoint were there a few computers and scanning equipment.
This pass seems particularly deserted...
There were no vehicles or people outside the station.
The seven people first settled in a hidden micro base far away, prepared themselves, and then rushed here on foot.
At the immigration channel, I was stopped and questioned by soldiers.
After handing over the relevant documents and procedures, they were taken to a small dark room and searched...
Soldiers made sure they did not have any contraband hidden on them.
On the surface, the seven were doing it in the name of 'business'.
To put it bluntly, it is to prepare to purchase some resources from Dongguotu in large quantities.
After working for quite a while, and being warned that even though they were outsiders, they would still be sentenced to death and executed if they violated the laws of Dongguo, a soldier finally drove them over the mountain road and stopped at a designated location... saying that someone would come to pick them up, and then left.
The soldiers are not afraid of them running around... There are many security areas nearby, and anyone who mistakenly enters will be shot.
Some rules and matters have been reminded in advance.
Anyway... this whole process took a long time.
It is extremely difficult to enter the country.
“This inspection is stricter than the last time I came here… Is it because of the Bozwa people?”
Dangeree said as he watched the soldier's car drive away.
"Something must have happened within the borders of this small country."
Long added.
Even if we close our country to the outside world and have no communication with the outside world, basic trade still needs to be done. Otherwise, where will the economy come from?
Just like Meteor Street...also doing business with gangs.
Therefore, these entry checkpoints must not have been guarded so strictly before... otherwise, there would be no precedent for people like Dangeree to enter.
The king of East Godo enjoyed luxury and sold national resources at a low price without restraint... just to have money to squander.
After saying that, Long turned around and looked at Hisoka, who had a smile on his face.
"What did you find out?"
He smelled a faint scent of blood.
Just now at the checkpoint, Hisoka disappeared for a while, and no one noticed except him.
He knew Hisoka was going to kill someone...
It wasn't his order, this guy acted on his own initiative.
Compared to these outsiders, the locals definitely have a better understanding of the domestic situation.
"Sawtooth Mountains."
Hisoka whispered a location, "That's probably where the Bozwa live... but it seems to have been blocked by the military. The war isn't over yet."
"war?"
Hao raised an eyebrow.
Judging from the previous video, the Bozwa tribe was a bit weird, but the battle was still a one-sided massacre by the army... The firepower of both sides was not at the same level. Moreover, the video recording time was quite long... Logically speaking, even if it hadn't ended, it was almost over.
For a small ethnic group to compete with a national-level force...that's a bit of a pipe dream.
No matter how weak the country of Dongguo is, it is not something the Bozwa people can deal with.
