You Really Fucking Have a Death Wish!!
Ian lay on the soft clouds.
Looking up at the vast expanse above the clouds, he had a relaxed expression on his face.
Hearing Uvogin and Nobunaga's urgent desire to find the treasure in the sky, he tried hard to keep a straight face to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
Where could there be any treasure...?
Although the Magic Beans originated from the story of Jack and the Peas, unfortunately, its function is limited to growing to the point of touching the sky and creating a soft white cloud that can be stepped on.
There were no giant monsters or palaces.
Of course, he didn't need to cut down the towering vines that the Magic Beans were growing on; letting them grow there served as a good vantage point.
Finally, they saw that Machiilmi and the others had all come up.
Ian then revealed the truth.
This caused Uvogin and Nobunaga to shout and chase after Ian, who had been rummaging around in the clouds like bandits, but to no avail.
They were all worried for Ian; the treasure hidden in the clouds had been stolen!
It turned out to be a prank by Ian.
However, everyone was amazed by the wonder of the clouds. They felt incredibly soft underfoot, and looking down at the city from nearly 10,000 meters above the ground, they realized how insignificant humanity is.
Even the two powerful individuals, Aimina and Eluna, were so captivated by the scenery that they couldn't tear themselves away.
This is a beautiful sight that even they, who were once "kings," had never seen.
Only when you climb to a high place and look into the distance do you feel an overwhelming surge of emotion within you.
At the same time, the vastness of this land inspires imagination and allows one to forget all previous troubles.
After all.
All the trivial things in the world are nothing compared to this vast world.
Although Tsubone can transform into a flying machine, this is the first time he has stood on the clouds like this.
In her view, this is probably how the Gods who look down upon humanity see us...
Thinking of this...
Her gaze involuntarily fell upon Ian, the boy who was sitting on a corner of a cloud, resting his chin on his hand and gazing at the city below. He had a smile on his lips and looked indifferent.
Then, Tsubone shook his head, startled by what he had just thought of.
How could that be...?
Even if Ian's abilities are extraordinary, he's just a remarkably talented young man. How could he possibly be associated with God or some legendary being from a mythical tale...?
Illumi was unaware of Tsubone's unusual behavior.
He stood beside the clouds, as if taking one step would send him plummeting from the sky.
His eyes, which had been completely black, now trembled slightly as he gazed at the vast landscape. For the first time, Illumi realized how little he knew about this world.
He began to gradually understand...
What exactly are those guys from the Hunter Association pursuing...?
It was the thrill of exploring the unknown, the mystery, and all the magnificent sights related to nature...
Compared to these things, murder, missions, and even money are insignificant...
At this moment.
His long-held goal of becoming a family assassin has once again begun to waver...
Above the clouds.
People had different opinions, but everyone enjoyed the moment of peace.
At the same time.
The city center of Ejin City.
The five members of the Scythe of Judgment walked down the street, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings, their surprise barely concealed.
"What... what's going on with this city?"
Yuliya's usually aloof and beautiful face was now filled with surprise as she looked at the happy expressions on the faces of those around her, completely puzzled.
The others also frowned.
Their journey attracted a lot of attention.
However, their experiences were different from those in other cities and even within V5's own country.
In other countries.
They could sense the "lifelessness" of the city's inhabitants, the honest and hardworking ordinary people who worked hard every day, a stark contrast to them Nen user lived on the edge of danger.
Even... when they see this strangely dressed, unapproachable group of people, they instinctively avoid them; no one dares to look them in the eye.
They've gotten used to this kind of life.
They are wolves, and ordinary people are sheep...
The lives of wolves and sheep are destined to be different!
Therefore, they feel particularly out of place now that they are in Ejin City.
Because the common people here not only dare to "look directly" at them, but even dare to "point and talk" at them. Some of the more extreme ones even whisper and comment on their attire!
"I can't take it anymore!"
With a short, blond haircut and skull tattoos covering his entire body, including his face, Flash Ghost had a gloomy expression. He glanced at an old man driving a vintage car at the intersection and said in a low voice.
"I'm going to kill that guy!"
"That old bastard followed us all the way, babbling on and on... He wants to die!"
Upon hearing Flash Ghost's words, Yuliya frowned.
Within the group, hidden in the black robe, Siming remained silent for a moment before speaking in a hoarse voice.
"Calm down, Flash Ghost. He's just an old man. Even if you don't attack, he doesn't have much time left. Getting a few insults is nothing. Maybe... he wasn't even insulting you..."
Upon hearing his words, Flash Ghost sneered.
"Hmph! You think he wasn't cursing at me the whole way with us? Oh... you're right, after all, it's not just me who's 'out of place,' 'eccentric,' and 'immoral,' maybe he was calling the Evil Mage a 'monster' and 'heretic'!"
In response, a young monk with a bloodstain on his forehead, wearing a kasaya and adorned with beads, remained calm and spoke indifferently.
"While I adhere to scriptural doctrines, I do not reject the beliefs of other faiths..."
"Besides, 'Flash Ghost' is just an ordinary old man's rambling; you're taking it too seriously..."
Upon hearing this...
Flash Ghost felt a throbbing in his forehead veins, then suddenly pointed ahead at the middle-aged man holding a large camera who was taking pictures of them, and roared angrily at the Evil Mage and Siming.
"I can let that old man go, but what about this guy? He's completely ignoring us! If we don't kill him, how can our Scythe of Judgment survive?!"
Seemingly having heard what the Flash Ghost said, the middle-aged man put down the camera and quickly shouted.
"Hey, you over there with the buzz cut, that pose you were striking just now was pretty cool, can you do that pose again?"
"That's right, it's that look in his eyes, it's very menacing. If you're considering becoming a star, you can sign a contract with our magazine!"
Flash Ghost pointed coldly at the other party.
However... upon hearing these words, his expression froze, and he gave the other person a cold, icy look before letting out a cold snort.
"Damn it, this guy... actually has some good judgment!"
"But... they're just a group of ordinary people, trying to earn some money to become Jenny. It's utterly ridiculous... Do they think everyone needs to work hard for money like them?"
He straightened his clothes.
His high-end beachwear exuded quality, his hands were in his pockets, and several menacing skull tattoos on his arms were strikingly visible in the sunlight.
With the gait of a top model, Flash Ghost spoke to the crowd around him with a cool expression.
"The people in this city seem a bit off, but our objective is more important. Ignore them and find that guy named Ian as soon as possible!"
The others shook their heads in silence.
The burly, blond man standing to the side seemed thoughtful and calm.
"Flash Ghost is right. I haven't seen a single crime along the way. The people in the city seem to get along extremely well..."
"I don't know... have you noticed, but we rarely see 'special' people like us..."
"Therefore, when these people see us, their eyes always linger... yet they act without restraint... I can't quite describe that feeling..."
"It's like..."
Yuliya calmly chimed in.
"They seem completely unconcerned that we'll take action..."
"Tch, how could that be? Do you think these guys are really fearless? They just haven't seen strong people like us before. If they knew our strength, they'd probably be scared to death!"
Just as the group was talking...
The middle-aged photographer had already jogged up to them. Flash Ghost, with a cold expression, ignored him, stared straight ahead, and walked forward with his companion. His posture was elegant and cool, and his steps were sharp and capable.
"Hey, buzz cut guy, interested in signing a contract with our BL magazine!?"
"Your dark and rebellious style might appeal to a lot of your colleagues. I really like you!!"
The middle-aged photographer excitedly pitched the product to the other party.
Upon hearing this...
The five members of the Scythe of Judgment simultaneously paused in their tracks.
The expressions on everyone's faces were utterly astonished...
Then, he looked at the Flash Ghost with surprise.
After a series of reactions—coldness, disbelief, and astonishment—the expression on Flash Ghost turned to extreme shame and indignation!
"You... you fucking want to die?!"
