Life at Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 111: Subhuman Siren

Jin has a keen sense of hearing.

A normal person in such a stormy environment can only hear the sound of the boat being hit by rain, thunder, whistling sounds, and the sound of the sea surging.

It was impossible to hear this subtle singing.

Jin listened carefully and felt that it was not appropriate to call it a song; it was more like some kind of chanting.

And this chanting did not come from the ship, but from outside the ship.

It reminded Jin of some siren legends he had heard before.

Jin had heard some stories about sirens on Whale Island, but of course he had never seen a real sirens.

The violent shaking of the ship did not scare Jin.

He held the fishing rod in his right hand and swung it towards the mast.

The fishing line of the fishing rod was wrapped around the mast several times and tied tightly. Jin pulled it hard.

Very solid.

Then, holding the fishing rod in both hands, he began to walk towards the direction of the chanting.

The swaying of the boat made him jump around.

That is, the fishing rod in his hand was entangled with the mast, otherwise Jin would have been thrown out of the boat for his behavior.

At this time, Jin was the only one left on the deck.

All I can say is that he is very skilled and daring.

Soon he reached the edge of the boat and stuck his head out to look around.

However, the shaking boat made it impossible for Jin to see the situation outside, and there was heavy rain.

Then Jin made an extremely dangerous move.

He lifted his entire body over the edge of the boat, as if he was hanging there.

He is not afraid that he will not hold on firmly or the fishing line will break if it is not strong enough, then he will fall into the sea.

Because his entire body was outside the boat, Jin could see more clearly.

Relying on his powerful hearing to locate the direction, and then looking in one direction, the rough sea waves did not scare him.

Under the influence of the rain, Jin could also see a figure floating on the sea about a hundred meters away from the ship.

Is that the Siren?

If he could control the boat, Jin really wanted to take a closer look.

Is it not affected by sea water?

The waves of the sea were surging, and there seemed to be a creature that looked like a mermaid, with half of its body emerging from the sea.

The sea water doesn't seem to affect it.

The chanting stopped.

Despite the rain blocking his view, Jin had a hunch that the other party seemed to have seen him.

So will it come?

Jin was waiting expectantly, but the "Siren" had already disappeared into the sea, leaving no trace.

And in the sea, a figure was swimming towards the ship.

It was the "Siren" that Jin had seen.

This is a girl with blue hair. Her ears are different from those of normal people and are pointed.

The upper body is naked, but also has scales, and the lower body is a fish tail.

This is a magical beast called a mermaid.

If there are magical beasts on land, then there must be magical beasts on the vast ocean as well.

Looking upward through the sea water.

There seemed to be doubt in the eyes of the mermaid girl.

His unique vision allows him to see through the existence of gold.

There was excitement on the other person's face, as if he was expecting something.

She is also curious about humans.

However, her "sister" told him not to come into contact with humans easily, as humans would bring misfortune to them.

Jin looked into the sea, and he always felt that something was looking at him in the sea.

He couldn't help but shout: "Are you a siren? Can you come out and see me?"

The mermaid in the sea had no idea of ​​the boy's mentality.

It’s not like she hasn’t had any contact with humans.

Some people would show fear when they saw her. Of course, there were also people with bad intentions, but those people would die at sea.

But when the ship left the storm area, the "Siren" did not emerge from the sea.

This made Jin very disappointed.

When the mermaid and the ship left the storm, they heard some singing in the sea and also left.

It can only be considered a brief encounter.

When the captain determines the course and walks out of the cockpit, he goes to see how many people can still take the test.

The cabin was also in a mess.

Only a few people are still conscious.

Only three of them were still able to move.

"Captain, come quickly." Suddenly a crew member called out to the captain.

The crew members who went to the deck to clean up saw Jin Fulisi hanging outside the ship and immediately started shouting.

The crew were all surprised at Jin's condition.

Jin did not return to the deck because he wanted to see if the mermaid was still there.

"What's going on?" The captain came to the deck.

Then he saw Jin outside the boat, and he remembered Jin.

He had anticipated the Hunter Exam at this age, and before the storm came.

Now he seems to be a very talented child.

"Captain, I'm seeing the Siren..." Jin Shi immediately told everyone everything he had heard and seen in the storm before.

"Are there really mermaids?" The crew members were all surprised.

They had also heard of the legends of sirens, but had never seen one.

Because of King's behavior, none of the crew members considered whether King might be lying.

"It seems that you are lucky. You can even see the Sirens. The storm is leaving now, so even if there are Sirens, they will go away." The captain said experiencedly.

Jin returned to the deck and asked about the Siren.

He felt the captain knew more.

The captain just thought Jin was interesting and didn't mind talking to him.

Sirens are also an intelligent race, a sub-human race.

They usually appear during storms and rescue those who are stranded at sea. They are elves of the sea.

But the captain quickly changed the subject, saying that humans' opening up of shipping routes and their coveting of the rare species like mermaids also made these "sirens" change their minds.

In the end, the story of the mermaid is not positive. It gradually becomes negative and will actively cause shipwrecks at sea.

Drag the person who falls into the water into the deep sea.

I heard the captain say this.

The crew members curiously asked the captain if he had seen a siren.

The captain just smiled and said nothing.

Instead of answering this question, he directly asked Jin why he took the Hunter Exam.

Jin also understood at this time that this journey actually meant that the exam had officially begun.

King answered the captain's question.

Then he said affirmatively: "Captain, you must have seen the siren."

The captain looked at Jin, who was still struggling with the siren, and felt that he was very suitable to be a hunter.

When getting off the boat, I took the initiative to talk to Jin.

"Compared to sirens, I prefer to call them mermaids."

"You have only passed the preliminary exam. If you want to take the formal exam, go to XX."

The captain is quite optimistic about Jin.
