Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 144 "Giving Abenganie a Choice"

On the night of July 7, German, Kurapika and Abenganie met successfully and soon began the "Exorcism".

Puff puff--

The bonfire flickered and the smoke rolled, as if struggling to resist the night coming from all directions.

The bamboo forest rustled. Dark-skinned Abenganie held a cursed doll in his hand and uttered a spell that sounded like a whisper. The scene looked more like a voodoo spell.

"Forest Spirit, please hear my prayer..."

After a while, the burning dry wood began to stir, and sparks popped and shot in all directions like plant spores erupting, scattering brilliant sparks.

The experienced Abenganie was not frightened. He calmly weaved a few branches on the doll, as if he was putting a wreath of flowers on it.

After doing all this, he threw the doll into the bonfire, watching it being quickly devoured by the flames and burned to ashes, and then he saw the phantoms of many "cursed beasts".

coming.

Abenganie looked at the "mind beasts" whose number had not decreased at all since the last "mind removal". They were crowded in the flames and slowly crawled out, and he felt much more relieved.

When the unfortunate premonition came true, he felt relieved.

This time, without Abenganie's reminder, German, who was standing next to him, made a dull sound through the bird-beak mask.

"That one." He pointed to the "Scarlet Mind Beast" that his spiritual intuition pointed to.

"As you wish." Abenganie seemed to have become German's loyal servant at this moment, and he turned a ferocious look towards the "mind beast".

After everything was done, Abenganie poured several buckets of water to put out the fire that had just been raging, and made sure that there was no spark left. The bamboo forest suddenly became pitch black.

Germann gently grasped the fragment of the "Hunter Badge" and silently looked at the projected text. When he saw that the "Stress-Related Bulimia" in the "Negative Traits" disappeared, he nodded.

"Abenganie, thank you for your "removal of thoughts."

This time, German did not just pay the money and leave like he did the last few times, but stood in front of Abenganie with a purpose.

Abenganie felt so nervous that his thick lips, which were typical of black people, pursed.

"Mr. Germain, anything else?"

Germain's eyes were calm.

"Don't be nervous. I know that as a "mind-eliminating master", you have taken on a lot of physical and mental pressure in the process of "eliminating my mind". "

"It's not fair for you to be on call all over the world and be careful not to get involved in the feud between me, the Phantom Troupe, and the Ten Old Men."

"From this, I thought of a more reasonable long-term cooperation model. If you are willing, you know how to contact me, and I will take you to a place to live with my companions."

"This will not only make our cooperation easier, but also protect your body and mind. My companions should be able to eliminate the physical and mental exhaustion you feel after "eliminating thoughts."

"I have discussed your situation with my companions, and they are happy to accept you. You can think about it, and contact me when you make a decision."

Abenganie listened to the whole thing and stood there in a daze. German did not force him to make a decision now, but instead made him hesitate.

After Germann informed the poor "Exorcist" of the decision reached by everyone in the "Stagecoach", he nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Abenganie stood there silently without saying a word.

German walked out of the bamboo forest rustling on the fallen leaves that formed a carpet on the ground, and then saw Kurapika not far away making a strange pose.

The icy chain wrapped around Kurapika's neck like a silver snake. He opened his mouth and bit one of the links, as if he was biting down on a snake's vital point.

Kurapika stretched out his right hand forward, and his left hand grasped his right wrist, as if he was suppressing and controlling something.

For a moment, German almost thought that Kurapika would shout out something like "My King's Power", but in the end he heard nothing.

Kurapika was so focused that sweat broke out on his forehead that he didn't notice Germann approaching and was still immersed in his own world. If Germann was an enemy, he would be dead by now.

However, Germain saw why Kurapika was so focused, it was because he had reached the critical point of the materialization chain.

Kurapika followed Germain's advice, revised the "restrictions and oaths" of the "chain", and planned to fulfill them one finger at a time.

Now, the first thing he wanted to materialize was the "Ring Finger Soul-Chasing Chain" that had been recognized by the teacher at the beginning.

A moment later, a chain flickered on Kurapika's arms, wrists and fingers like a snapshot. As long as he relaxed a little, the chain disappeared.

He could only keep concentrating, and finally, the chain was wrapped around his finger. Then, a chain extended from his ring finger, and a silver-gray ball appeared at the end.

"Success..."

The silver-grey sphere swayed from side to side, like the pendulum of a grandfather clock. After swaying for a while, before Kurapika could be happy, the silver-grey sphere changed the amplitude of its swaying and began to swing violently.

Kurapika was startled and raised his head suddenly. When he saw a figure emerging from the darkness, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Enemy attack? !
Kurapika, oh Kurapika, how could you be so careless? Someone was almost right in front of you, but you didn’t even notice it. If it weren’t for the “Ring Finger Soul-Chasing Chain”, I would have been in trouble!

However, when German walked out from the shadow of the bamboo forest and the black robe of the bird-beaked hunter was revealed under the bright moonlight, Kurapika finally felt relieved.

Yes, I almost forgot that the teacher is nearby. I am no longer alone. The teacher will not let the enemy get close to me. However, Kurapika still secretly warned himself that he must be more vigilant in the future and must be able to do two or three things at the same time...

When he was thinking this, the "Ring Finger Soul-Chasing Chain" disappeared.

Kurapika looked at his ring finger with some disappointment. The "Ring Finger Soul-Hunting Chain" only lasted for less than half a minute. Fortunately, the chain was still wrapped around his wrist and finger.

He straightened his posture and looked at Germain.

"teacher……"

Germain waved his hand, pointing out his current problem.

"You are currently unable to do two things at once because you don't have enough energy, your energy distribution is not precise enough, and there is too much useless loss. In short, you need to hone your "training" and "release" more."

Kurapika quickly responded, "Yes."

"My "mind-clearing" has ended. Let's go and find a hotel in a nearby town."

"Where is Mr. Abenganie?"

Germann glanced back at the bamboo forest submerged in darkness, then walked out of the woods.

"He has a lot to think about tonight. Leave him alone and let him think about it."

German and Kurapika jumped onto the tree, leaping back and forth between the branches like two nimble antelopes, but much faster. Ordinary people could hardly see the afterimages they left behind.

The sound of them flying by would be as inconspicuous as the sound of the wind sweeping through the woods at night.

In the distance they could see the lights of the night city below the mountain, which looked like stars. They quickly rushed out of the branches and leaves at the foot of the mountain and came to the plain with almost no cover.

When they were about to approach the city, German and Kurapika slowed down and walked slowly along the edge of a road connecting the city and the suburbs.

A huge sign came into view. Some of the neon lights were broken and flashing strange lights, but the name of the city written on the sign could still be recognized.

"Twin Cities".

The Twin Cities are divided into two major urban areas, the left and right, separated by the Theodore River. The only bridge connecting the two major urban areas is the Twin Cities Bridge.

German and Kurapika entered the left city area. Less than ten minutes after walking on the noisy streets, cold raindrops fell from the sky.

Pat pat pat——

The rain suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops were so big that pedestrians on the street panicked and put their hands to cover their heads, dodging everywhere. Soon, the streets were wet.

German and Kurapika also went to the door of the nearby supermarket to shelter from the rain.

Standing with other pedestrians, although German's clothes were strange, there were many young people wearing strange clothes these days, so people just looked at him curiously and turned their heads away.

"Teacher." Kurapika handed the phone with the screen on to Germain. "I booked a room at the nearest hotel. The reviews are very good, but it's a bit expensive."

German took a look at the "highly praised" hotel interface, but didn't mind it. He had stayed in more expensive places.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

They bought two umbrellas in the supermarket, opened them, and walked into the pouring rain.

The road ahead was foggy, the ground was slippery, and the street lights were much dimmer. It looked like falling into a depressing dream.

Turning a corner and crossing the crosswalk, they saw the tall hotel standing there.

Compared with other surrounding buildings, it is like a celebrity walking among the common people.

There were black luxury cars parked at the door, and the waiters at the door went to greet them in groups, ignoring German and Kurapika who were walking from the side.

The two of them didn't care at all. They put away their umbrellas, walked into the revolving door, crossed the bright hall, and came to the front desk to check in.

As always, they used pseudonyms, and the hotel had no intention of pursuing the matter further. They handed the door cards to "Smith" and "Jack" and asked a waiter to take them to their rooms.

German did not use the hunter's license, and he further understood why Kim Fulisi did not care about the hunter's license. Not only did he not need its authority, but more importantly, it was for confidentiality.

Although merchants are obliged to keep records of hunter license usage confidential, traces are left after all, and they may be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

The more skilled the hunter is, the more he disdains using a hunter's license.

This was probably something that Biscuit, who had persuaded Germanmain to take the exam, had not expected. After all, she could never have imagined that Germanmain would have progressed to his current level in less than a year.

　Thanks to Dragon God Blood Jade for the reward.

　　Thanks to book friends for their subscriptions, monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.

　　I looked it up and found that I wrote the Kakin Empire as the Kartin Empire because several comics were translated as the Kartin Empire. After reading it so many times, it naturally became part of my mind. However, the Kakin Empire should still be used as the standard.
