Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 119 "It's not easy to be a mind exorcist these days" (Part )
"I put some thought into helping you get rid of your thoughts."

Abenganie looked embarrassed, wanting to flatter someone but not knowing where to start. He was not good at this and was just doing it out of necessity.

"This formation I set up will make the "Removal of Thoughts" process go more smoothly."

In fact, Abenganie did this more to protect himself.

Ever since the last "exorcism", Abenganie has been thinking about how to fight for his rights as an "exorcist" the next time he sees German.

After all, it is risky to "exorcise" Germann. If possible, he even hopes to directly turn down all future "exorcisms" for Germann.

Abenganie had rehearsed several times in his mind the scenario of a stern refusal, which gave him more courage.

It was not until he heard the news that three members of the "Phantom Troupe" were killed by German one after another that he realized that the courage he had accumulated had dissipated so quickly.

When Germain once again approached him to "remove his thoughts", he threw aside all his previous preparations and decided to swallow his anger.

If you cannot refuse to "eliminate thoughts", at least you should take safer and more reliable protective measures for your own "elimination elimination".

Thinking this way, Abenganie chose to back down and arranged the formation for the room.

"Do it your way. Let's get started." German didn't want to waste time.

Abenganie glanced at Kurapika again and saw him standing in the corner watching curiously. He probably had an idea in his mind and ignored him.

Seeing Kurapika's naive look, Abenganie was certain that he was someone who had no idea about "Nen ability".

Otherwise, before entering the basement, Kurapika should have "wrapped his body with energy" like him and Germain did, so as to deal with emergencies in the dark and narrow environment.

The "Exorcist" didn't care about all that. He filled an iron box in the middle of the room with firewood, poured oil on it, and lit it with a flamethrower. The fire spread out, raising black smoke.

As usual, Abenganie held a strange doll, muttered something, and used his "forest spirit" to "eliminate the thoughts" of Germain.

Kurapika looked at it with a strange expression, feeling that it was some kind of deceptive curse ritual, and gradually felt disappointed.

However, Germain's performance on the airship made him unable to resist this temptation. He felt that there might be something strange in front of him that he could not see yet.

It was also at this time that a strange wind suddenly blew up, and more smoke rose from the iron box, followed by a strange clanging sound.

Kurapika frowned, realizing something was wrong, and couldn't help but take a step forward. Then he felt a chill in his face!
scare--

The chill made him feel as if he was standing naked in the snow.

The cold wind was cutting his flesh, and waves of nausea rose from his stomach to his throat.

After a while, Kurapika was sweating profusely, the suitcase in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the floor.

Germain and Abenganie heard the noise, but neither of them turned around to look at him.

When Kurapika saw several strange and twisted reptiles crawling out of the flames in the iron box, his breathing became rapid and his whole body trembled.

This...what on earth is this...

(Note: Under normal circumstances, "releasing the mind beast" is invisible to ordinary people, but "materializing the mind beast" is visible to ordinary people)

If Kurapika could calm down at this time, he would find that not only him, but also Abenganie, the "Mind Clearer", was trembling.

The number of "Mind Beasts"...has increased...again...

Although it was expected, Abenganiel felt his scalp tingling as he watched the ten "mind beasts" huddled together. He watched them howl at his "mother" like conjoined twins, and in the end he couldn't help but feel fear.

"Forest Spirit", please protect me and keep me away from the invasion of this terrible filthy thing... Abenganie prayed silently.

He prayed that he would not have nightmares tonight.

But he was an experienced "mind remover" after all, and even though this was the first horrifying scene he had ever seen, he forced himself to remain calm.

"Mr. Germain." Abenganie shouted tremblingly, "Which "mind beast" are you going to get rid of this time?"

Kurapika was still in an uncontrollable state of fear, until he heard the title "Mr. Germain", and was stunned.

He had been collecting information about the "Phantom Troupe" and had some knowledge of its recent events.

It is said that last year a man named "German" joined the "Phantom Troupe", but later left the "Phantom Troupe" for unknown reasons and killed three members one after another.

There are many different opinions about the reason. Some say it was a power struggle, some say it was an uneven distribution of spoils, and some say that "German" was originally sent by a gang to the "Phantom Troupe" as an undercover agent...

However, it is an indisputable fact that a man named "German" killed three "Phantom Troupe members" within two months.

Kurapika couldn't help but look at Germain's back with a strange expression, he wanted to see through this man.

When German heard Abenganie's reminder, he pointed at one of the "Scarlet Mind Beasts" based on his spiritual intuition and said, "It."

"Okay." Abenganie began the final and most important step of "eliminating thoughts," "Wind Spirit, please..."

After a while, a lizard-like "mind beast" was destroyed by Abenganie amidst the wailing sounds.

He then forced the remaining "mind beasts" back without hesitation and quickly extinguished the flames.

"This is it... it's finally over..."

After doing all this, Abenganie, who was soaked in sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall to steady his body, and stood to rest for a while.

Germann, through the projection of the "Hunter Badge", confirmed that the "negative trait" called "moody" had been eliminated, and he couldn't help but feel quite happy.

"Abenganie, thank you." German nodded to the "Mind Remover". "I have already transferred to Jieni. So this is the end of it for now."

"Ah... okay." Abenganie hesitated and finally decided to follow his heart.

He really didn't want to anger German. For example, German would kill the "Phantom Troupe" and the "Yin Beast" at will, not to mention a "thought exorcist" like him.

That's it, just consider yourself unlucky.

When German turned around, he saw that Kurapika had already stood up and was staring at him with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to know everything.

He still didn't answer Kurapika's question and just walked out of the room full of potted flowers.

Kurapika paused for a moment, then had to chase after him, carrying the suitcase.

Abenganie watched the two figures disappear around the corner, and finally collapsed in complete relaxation.

He stared at the smoke-blackened ceiling and the whirring exhaust fan and felt like crying.

It is not easy for a "mind-eliminating master" to earn some hard-earned money.
