First Courtesy And Then Force

"Then let's decide the order of everyone's secret doors first…"

Under Kurapika's arrangement, they quickly chose their own secret doors.

"At the count of three, everyone jumps down at the same time."

"Let's part here for the time being."

"See you on the ground!"

"Then, let's go!!"

The four people counted down and then jumped up at the same time.

Clang!

The stone slab turned over, then they fell down, and the secret door was locked.

After landing, the four people looked at the bright stone wall room and then looked at each other.

They all showed an awkward but happy smile.

"I didn't expect that we would only be apart for such a short time." 

Kurapika smiled. 

If you can go through the adventure with your familiar companions, it will not only make you feel relieved but also greatly increase your safety and the possibility of passing.

 "Really." 

Even Leorio breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground. But before he could sit down, he heard Gon's voice. 

"Lan? You are here too?!" 

Leorio and Kurapika looked up in astonishment. 

They saw that in the corner of the room, Lan had taken out a chair from somewhere and was sitting there with great interest while looking at the four of them.

"Are you here too, Lan!?"

Although they were a little surprised to see an acquaintance, they were relieved.

"How many people could enter this room? What if other people come..."

Leorio looked around, and then he saw a notice on the wall in front of him.

Below the notice, there was a stone platform with four watches on it.

"This is..."

Everyone walked over and took a look: "The road to majority rule?"

"You five must follow the majority rule and pass the many levels from here to the end."

Kurapika finished reading the words above and then set his sights on the four watch guards on the stone platform.

"This should be the timer and the voting machine, right?"

Kurapika looked at the circle and cross buttons on it, the countdown of seventy-one hours and twenty minutes, and then picked it up.

Others also took it in turn and wore it on their wrists.

"So what should we do next?"

While wearing it, Gon asked Lan next to him:

"Lan, you arrived before us. Have you already gathered any other information?"

"Other information…"

Lan pointed to the stone platform in front of everyone.

"There are monitoring equipment in it, and the examiner of the third round is observing us through various cameras."

"Then, when we meet the conditions, he will give us certain instructions."

And just after Lan finished speaking.

"That's right."

Lippo's voice rang out from the stone platform.

"In this Trick Tower, there are many different paths preset, and each path has different clearance conditions."

"I chose the path of the minority obeying the majority, which is a super difficult level that requires concerted efforts to pass smoothly."

"Okay, I wish you all a smooth pass."

In the monitoring room, after saying this, Lippo pressed the mute button.

"The voting path of five people…"

His pair of slender fox eyes stared at Lan again.

"Fortunately, they all know each other!"

Lippo remembered the scene just now when Lan jumped down before the four people.

The other party walked to the stone platform normally, read the rules, and then put on the watch.

He also gave the same instructions, and everything seemed normal.

Until the man analyzed unconventionally:

"If I can't wait for the other four people, then I will directly wear the other four watch, and then it can go on, right?"

"The rules do not allow it. This is a road for five people to vote. It takes five people to open the door."

"Then I can go back to the top of the tower and bring four people down."

"The moment you jumped down, the entrance was already locked.

"This is easy; just break the locks, right?"

"And it's a road for five people to vote."

Lan gently stroked his chin: "When the time comes, as long as I defeat all the other four people and let them obey my orders, won't that be enough?"

"In addition, it takes five people to open the road, so if these four people die during the adventure, it is also very fair." 

"It's a common thing, so when the time comes, I will put away their watch, and I should be able to use it normally, right?"

"You can't deny the other applicant because of the failure of a certain applicant, so I will take their bodies on the road at that time. It should be okay, right?"

When asked by Lan, Lippo's macarons were not fragrant at all.

He didn't think that Lan would consider the problem from such a tricky angle.

And from the look of it.

It seems that he wants to make the other four people his one-man show.

If that happens, there will be less fun to watch.

"Fortunately, they all know each other!" Lippo sighed again with relief.

"In this way, there will be many interesting scenes to watch!"

He picked up a bag of potato chips and tore it open with a squeak.

And in the room, as everyone's watch was worn, the stone door slowly opened.

The first iron door that needed to make a choice was revealed.

"Do you want to continue the test? Choose the circle or the cross…" 

They definitely want it!

After choosing the circle, the door opened quickly.

"Easy, so easy!"

Leorio was in a good mood. 

"With the familiarity and understanding between the five of us, it would be easy to make the right judgment together."

"I am also worried that if there are unfamiliar people or sinister villains who deliberately hinder us and do bad things, it will be a headache."

"That's right!" 

Gon nodded and agreed: "The five of us can act together and pass the level quickly!!"

"Indeed."

Compared to the confidence of the two, Lan also seemed very calm.

"I was still thinking that if it were the other people I didn't know, it might be a little more troublesome."

"Hey."

Killua became interested after hearing this: "How do you want to solve the trouble?"

"It's very simple, first courtesy and then force."

Lan chuckled and said something that made people shudder: "First, announce to them that the choice this time is entirely up to me."

"If anyone has any objections or dissatisfaction, just beat them up."

"Beat them until they obey."

Kurapika and Leorio: Luckily, we know each other

The two wiped their cold sweat in front of them.

And what Lan said also made them think, what if it was not Lan who formed a team of five with them, but Hisoka…

Hiss!

Just thinking about it, the two of them felt a chill.

Then, they immediately threw such thoughts out of their minds.

On the other side.

"Huh?"

Hisoka, who was walking alone in the dark passage, paused.
