Everyone listened as Satatoz explained more about the Swindler's Swamp. 

But then a wounded person comes out. 

Wounded Man: STOP!! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! THAT MAN IS AN IMPOSTER!! 

The Examinees turn to see the man, and are confused. 

Ruby: Wait, that can't be ... how did- Huh? 

Weiss: This has to be a trap. 

Wounded Man: I can prove it! Look! 

He drops a body. 

(Y/N): A MAN-FACED APE!!!They can disguise themselves as people, and set a trap with their comrades!

Wounded Man: We have to do something! They're trying to take us all out one by- 

All of a sudden, a playing card hits his forehead, and then three more hit his nose, mouth, and neck! 

He falls to the floor dead. 

It turned out he was a Man-Faced Ape. 

Hisoka: Just as I suspected ♠. That must mean that you're the real examiner ♣. 

Satotz had caught all of the cards thrown at him. 

Hisoka: You must be very skilled to catch those cards ♣. 

Satotz: Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. Though if you try that again, you will be disqualified. 

Hisoka: I understand ♦. 

Satotz: I suspect some of you were convinced by the claim? 

Weiss turned to Ruby. 

Ruby: Hey, it was convincing. Besides, I'm sure others fell for it. 

Hanzo and Leorio both looked down in embarrassment. 

With 316 examinees left, Satotz lead them on through the swamp. 

Weiss: Another marathon? But now we're in the swamp! 

Leorio: Have to agree with you on that one, Princess. 

Killua: Hey, Gon. 

Gon: What's up? 

Killua: Let's go up further. That way we can avoid Hisoka. That would go for you guys too! 

Gon: How can you tell? 

Killua: I can sense murderous intentions. 

Gon: But you don't seem to be like Hisoka. 

Killua: You'll see. 

More fog begins to come in. 

Gon: HEY! (Y/N)! RUBY! YANG! WEISS! BLAKE! KURAPIKA! LEORIO!! COME ON!! 

(Y/N): Easier said than done, Gon! It's really foggy! 

Weiss: How can we see anything here? 

She noticed two examinees taking a breather by a strawberry, and- 

Examinees: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

They are eaten by a Noggin Luggin Tortoise!

Weiss: Yikes. 

The Amori Brothers look behind. 

Umori: Hey, is it just me, or have many of the examinees vanished? 

Amori: That's because of those tortoises. They lure those unlucky bastards in. 

Imori: Thank goodness we got each other's backs. 

Other examinees escape only for giant frogs to eat them, or to fall into pit traps with spikes, or pass by hypnosis butterflies, which put them to sleep! 

Soon enough... 

As you continue on forward, you hear a noise. 

(Y/N): Huh? 

You dodged a bunch of playing cards. 

???: Hahahahahaha. That was a good dodge ♤. 

Hisoka emerged. 

(Y/N): HISOKA!!!

Ruby and Yang soon appeared nearby. 

Ruby: AGH! 

Yang: What do you want? 

Hisoka: Think of me as an examiner. 

He was standing on a wounded Leorio. 

Leorio: AGH!!
