Hunter Queen: Killer Queen.

Chapter 192 The discovery of Joey and the Ninth Prince × Basho
At six o'clock in the morning on the tenth day of the voyage, neither the ninth prince nor his private soldiers slept.

In front of them was the private soldier, Smit Lee, who had regained consciousness and was tied to a chair.

Smit Li slowly opened his eyes, and even stuttered slightly when he saw the ninth prince in front of him.

"Ha-Prince Halkenbrugge!"

"What is your affiliation and certification number?" Halkenbrugg sat opposite him and asked the question very seriously.

At the same time, there were several private soldiers dressed in black standing near the two of them, waiting. It seemed that they would take action to subdue Smit Lee if he made any unusual move.

Smit Li's expression froze slightly. He quickly reacted to the current situation and then opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything because he couldn't answer!
"It seems that he is not Smith Lee, so are you Hikaku!" Halkenbrugg asked again, but this time he asked in a firm tone.

Then he raised his head and looked at the other people beside him: "Get rid of him, he is no longer useful."

His voice was cold, but there was a sadness in it.

One of the private soldiers pointed at Smit Lee on the chair without hesitation, or to be more precise, Hikaku who had changed his body and pulled the trigger.

"Smit Lee's sacrifice paved the way for us to move forward, allowing us to be more aware of the effects of abilities." Halkenbrugg stood up and walked towards the whiteboard in the room.

He wrote quickly on the whiteboard, erasing as he wrote: "My mind beast ability is the power to unite everyone. This power will turn into extremely powerful armor and sharp arrows. The armor protects us, and the sharp arrows penetrate us." enemy!
And my own energy will turn into a crossbow and my will will be poured into the sharp arrows!
The essence of war is to use force to change the enemy's system and will, while the essence of battle is to use force to directly obliterate the opponent's will.

This kind of power can only be used after you have some awareness of your own life and death!
Therefore, the sharp arrows released will penetrate any enemy's defense and take away the enemy's will from his body, and the price is the body of his companions! "

When the Ninth Prince faced off against Hikaku, his ability was activated. Even though Hikaku defended himself, the arrow still penetrated Hikaku.

Afterwards, Hikaku's soul and will disappeared from his body, and at the same time, Smit Lee, the private soldier beside the Ninth Prince, fell into a coma.

Hikaku's body stood up, and when he spoke, he proved that he was now Smit Lee.

So the Ninth Prince brought Smit Lee's body back to the Ninth District and conducted a strict examination on it. The result of the examination was that Smit Lee fell into a [sleep] state.

Based on this result, the Ninth Prince made a guess.

[-]. Hikaku died and disappeared when he was attacked.

[-]. Hikaku and Smit Lee swapped bodies.

[-]. In Hikaku’s body, Hikaku’s will and Smit Lee’s will coexist.

[-]. Hikaku’s soul was transferred to another place, into someone’s body!

The Ninth Prince couldn't make a judgment on the result. After waiting for a while and finding that Smit Lee showed no signs of waking up, he decided to take the risk and make some tests.

What this test can determine is the second and third items.

In the earliest calculations, he was planning to let Smit Lee, who controlled Hikaku's body, commit suicide at the door of District [-].

This includes his layout and calculations. Although there may be loopholes in it, these are the most reasonable states he has deduced based on the situation.

It would be best to get guidance from a telekinesis master, but among the telekinesis users Halkenbrugg knew, the only one he could trust was Kurapika.

But during this period, the situation in the fourth area made him suspicious of Kurapika and others, so the operation of 'Hikaku' was delayed.

Because he needs more information!

But at this moment, the voices of Kurapika and others came from the corridor, which even involved the First Prince's private troops.

So the Ninth Prince led people out of the Ninth District, and made a judgment to let 'Hikaku' launch an attack on the First Prince's private troops here. If the opponent can be eliminated smoothly, then 'Hikaku' will After taking out the target, commit suicide in the corridor.

After all, the people in Area [-] also walked out of the room at this time.

This is an excellent opportunity!

But Babi Mayina easily defended against 'Hikaku''s attack and killed 'Hikaku' in an instant, which only completed half of the Ninth Prince's plan.

And from this incident, he also saw that the relationship between Kurapika and others and the First District was not harmonious.

In addition, Kurapika and others are not trustworthy. He can still rely on himself.

But just as he was thinking this, he felt something crawling on his arm, and when he lowered his head, he saw a strange ladybug.

The ladybug showed its abdomen towards him, but its abdomen was not like that of an insect, but in the shape of a machine.

This is someone reminding themselves!

Halkenbrugg made this judgment quickly, and the basis for this judgment was that his protective mind was not triggered by this strange ladybug.

So he raised his head to check among the crowd, and saw Dio who was also looking at him.

He knew Dior, but he didn't understand it.

But through the strange look of the ladybug, the Ninth Prince came up with the idea of ​​contacting Dio, because he suddenly thought that this was not the first time that this little thing had appeared in his sight.

There's not even a tiny ladybug in District [-].

If these ladybugs are all machine creations, then they may have the ability to eavesdrop, which means that everything that happens in District [-] may have been known to Dio a long time ago!
Even the situation when he broke into the Kings area to meet Nasby was controlled by the opponent.

In this case, the other party did not choose to attack themselves, but took the initiative to expose themselves. This is part of sincerity.

Prince Halkenbrugge, who thought everything through in an instant, did not take any further action but returned to District [-] after finishing the matter in the corridor.

He didn't get rid of the ladybug, and even put it into his pocket.

Now that he has dealt with Smit Lee's situation, he still hasn't received any contact from the other party, which gave Halkenbrugge some thoughts.

But before his thoughts lasted long, a flying ladybug appeared again in the ventilation duct of District [-].

After Ladybug judged the direction slightly, she landed directly on the shoulder of the Ninth Prince.

Then Ladybug's body changed rapidly and turned into a piece of paper with information written on it.

"Control of Hikaku will expose your abilities to the First Prince's view. If the other party continues to send people here, they are preparing to separate you!
We have the same goal, to stop the succession war, so I think we can work together! "

The content on the note was naturally passed on by Joey to the Ninth Prince.

Hikaku's death, especially his unnecessary words before death, although making his actions full of correctness, also exposed his manipulation.

Among the information Joey gave to the first prince, he recorded some information about the Ninth Prince's telekinesis abilities.

He believed that based on these known conditions, Balusamirko would be able to make a reasonable judgment. Even if he could not accurately judge the ninth prince's ability, he could still make a rough guess.

This situation is extremely unfavorable to the ninth prince.

For the Ninth Prince's cooperative combat ability, separation is the best way.

Therefore, once the First District continues to send people towards the Ninth District, the other party's goal is to get the Ninth Prince to take action, because once he takes action, the First District can use the lawsuit to allow the Ninth Prince to enter the V·VIP District for investigation.

A key issue when entering the V·VIP area is that only one person from the Ninth Prince's private troops can accompany him.

In this case, the Ninth Prince's thought can only reach the condensed energy of two people, and its power will become limited.

Then this is the opportunity for the first prince!
Whether it is a lawsuit against the Ninth Prince in court or an attack by private soldiers in the Ninth District during the lockdown, it can cause a huge blow to the Ninth Prince.

The former is a situation that Balusamirko is extremely good at handling, while the latter completely weakens the Ninth Prince's ability to read the beast.

Joey had a good impression of the Ninth Prince, so he reminded the Ninth Prince.But he also knew that even if he knew it was a trap sent by the other party, Prince Halkenbrugg would still jump because he also had his own calculations.

Therefore, in Joey's view, the most critical thing is the timing of District [-]'s attack.

Halkenbrugge looked at the note and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about whether Dio's words were worthy of trust.

While he was thinking, a second ladybug landed on his shoulder.

Unfolding the note about Ladybug's changes, there wasn't much information this time.

"All you need to do is postpone the attack for one day and take action around nine o'clock tomorrow morning. By then, things will have nothing to do with you."

"Is it just a day delay? Okay." Halkenbrugg replied.

As if in response to his answer, the ladybug that first appeared next to him slowly discovered its transformation and completely turned into a listening device.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Victor, the first prince's private soldier, knocked on the door of the ninth district on time and entered it to start monitoring the ninth prince.

In the seventh area, Gangidor began to investigate the guards.

Among the guards in the seventh area, in addition to the dead Satobi, there are five guards who are directly subordinate to the second princess.

Ever since Shulikov reported that Satobi knew how to use Nen, Gangidor judged that among the direct soldiers sent by the second princess, there must be people with Nen abilities who had hidden abilities.

But it is not easy to determine who the other party is.

And another key point is that almost all the soldiers directly under the second princess are with the seventh prince, which is extremely abnormal.

Even if the second princess has always advocated not taking the initiative.

But you must know that she herself has always been in the second area.

At the same time, the second princess's children are not only the second and seventh princes, the fifth and ninth princes are also the children of the second princess.

During the investigation, Tsunaji Dole couldn't help but think of Balusamirko's previous proposal, which was to let Wu Xiaohei appear in the seventh area instead of him.

Wu Xiaohei's ability is not suitable for assassination when it is determined that there are many people with telekinesis around the Seventh Prince, but it is the best candidate to judge whether the opponent is a telepathic person.

However, this is also because of Shulikov's death. Otherwise, Shulikov's meticulous observation ability could have completed this task better.

"Aren't you free now? Can I find someone else to play with?"

The sudden voice, especially the last sentence, made Gangidor's spirit suddenly tense.

It's just that he didn't notice that while he was tensing up because of the questions asked by the No. 12 prince's mind beast clone, there was someone behind him looking at him with a playful smile.

"I don't have time, I can't." Tsunaji Dole replied quickly.

"Really? Why? I have a lot of treasures to show you!" The mind beast clone refused to give up, and at the same time, a small pocket appeared on its abdomen.

That pocket seemed to hold endless secrets, making Gangedore's eyes slightly straighten.

But as if it noticed Tsunajidor's gaze, the little Nianmon quickly closed its small bag and twisted its body slightly to prevent Tsunajidor's eyes from falling on the small bag.

It was as if there really was some big treasure in that bag.

"Are you free? If so, I can show it to you~" The voice of the mind beast clone was full of temptation.

Tsunaji Dole's vision was a little cloudy for a moment, but at this moment, Basho's voice suddenly appeared beside him: "You don't seem to be in a good condition. If not, go back to the first area. I don't want to What kind of attack will happen again in District [-]?"

Tsunaji Dole shuddered suddenly: "No, I just want to ask you something. Have you noticed any abnormal behavior in Satobi before?"

"Is it abnormal? That's because Satobi, like you, often had symptoms of being distracted." Basho said unceremoniously: "So if there is any problem, you should know best!"

Tsunaji Dole's heart tightened, had he been discovered?
After Basho finished speaking, he ignored Tsunagido and went directly to the seventh prince who was smoking legal cigarettes and watching a movie.

During the period of protecting the Seventh Prince, Basho never discovered any abnormal behavior of the Seventh Prince. Even if he had direct knowledge of the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Cajun gang, he did not find out about the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Cajun gang. No problem can be seen in the performance of the Seventh Prince.

In other words, during this period of time, the Seventh Prince had no contact with the Cajun gang at all.

He has also passed on some news to Kurapika during this day, and he also knows that the lower-level Kajin gangs are on the verge of fighting.

But in this state, the Seventh Prince was sitting steadily in the room, smoking a cigarette and watching a movie, as if he didn't understand or care about the situation of the Cajun gang.

Is it that the matter has not happened enough to attract the attention of the Seventh Prince, or that the things at the lower level have not reached the ears of the Seventh Prince at all!

If it is the former, it can only prove the depth of the seventh prince's city.

But if it's the second one, the problem will be serious, because if that's the case, the seventh prince will become a puppet pushed out to block the gun.

The real background behind the gang is worth pondering!

But is this possible?Basho frowned.

Similar to Basho's worries in the seventh area, in the sixth area, Izanabi also had various worries in his heart.

The ability of the sixth prince's mind beast is simply pervasive. Giuliano has recently become obsessed with the "Tyson Codex" that the sixth prince gave him before.

He has completely read the Tyson Scriptures and gained a lot of insights from them.

Izanabi saw that the mental states of him and the Sixth Prince's private soldiers were becoming more and more similar.

Especially when the door opened today, the Sixth Prince prepared a cake and took everyone to celebrate Giuliano's birthday, which made Giuliano's whole state feel a little wrong.

When he came back from the corridor last night, Giuliano's eyes towards the Sixth Prince were already a little dazed and unnatural.

No, I must have been a little strange at that time!

Looking at the small black mind beast appearing on his shoulder, Izanabi sighed deeply in his heart.

Perhaps in the entire sixth area, only the first prince's private soldier Orawu is always awake!
Different from the cheerful atmosphere in the sixth area, in the fifth prince's room, which had never existed, she was still sitting in front of the computer and sorting out something seriously.

Not far away, the First Prince's private troops were silently monitoring her as before.

But at this time, the fifth prince's heart was not at peace. Ever since the death of the eighth prince, the alarm bell in her heart had not stopped.

Because she noticed the changing of the guard operation carried out by the private troops belonging to the first prince Benjamin in the eighth district, she judged that the death of the eighth prince must be related to the first prince.

So if she wants to survive, the first thing she needs to pay attention to is when the person responsible for monitoring her will change the guard.

The second point is to find out the specific cause of the eighth prince's death as soon as possible, as well as the specific information about the changing of the guard at that time. Only in this way can she have a chance to survive the first prince's assassination.

She had listed every ability she could think of on her computer and made plans for them.

She recorded the plan on a USB flash drive and handed it to the guards who had awakened their telekinesis abilities from Area 12.

In her expectation, this operation of handing over information to subordinates with awakened telekinesis abilities in advance might affect the formation of subordinates' telekinesis abilities.

However, she also knew that the key to the current predicament was that there was no person around her who was powerful enough to block attacks from ability users.

So what she really needs is a strong collaborator.

And this person, she had already judged from the beginning, that was Kurapika!
Although the disappearance of the fourth prince gave her some hesitation, after considering the pros and cons, the only choice she could make was Kurapika.
