Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 167 "Human Bomb Made of the Sound of Life" (Part )
The two men behind Gan Shu laughed and waved their hands.

Among them, the red-haired Shabu opened his mouth and spoke.

"I know, I know. When that guy named Kuroro found us and said he was the "Captain of the Phantom Troupe", we thought he was a lunatic from somewhere."

"I didn't expect that he was really the 'Phantom Troupe Leader'... But no matter who he is, he is really generous. Even if he is just using us, I think this trip is worth it."

Bala, who was beside Shabu, took over the conversation.

"Yeah... you can have fun as much as you want and get paid for it. Is there anything better than this?"

"We have been stuck in Greed Island for too long, almost five years. Who knows how we have survived these five years? Greed Island is not making much profit now. This Chrollo has arrived just in time."

As they were having this weird and disturbing conversation, they reached into their arms and pulled out the weapon that really caused panic among the passengers - a pistol.

People screamed a few times, and then they shot a few people in the head with pistols, completely suppressing the sounds of fear.

Shabu put his index finger to his lips and looked around at everyone.

"Shh... don't make any noise. Either you die under our guns now, or you listen to us obediently. As long as you listen, we will set you free completely. Do you understand?"

People had no choice but to nod in submission.

Under the threat of Shabu and Bala's pistols, the passengers, starting from the rear of the carriage, were forced to walk towards Ganshu and squat in front of him.

Gan Shu placed his hands on the heads, necks and shoulders of the passengers who were squatting with their heads in their hands, and spoke softly.

"'Bomb Demon'..."

Gan Shu repeated it tirelessly, saying he would say it once every time he touched a person's body. His cold tone was chilling, but his behavior was confusing.

What exactly do they want to do?
Only Kurapika was hiding behind the door and could see it clearly.

Wherever Gan Shu pressed his palm, as he pronounced the three words "bomb demon", a bomb would materialize and attach to the human body.

This bomb disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even a "Psychic user" would be unable to detect it if they were not careful.

Although Kurapika couldn't see the bombs after they became invisible, he was sure that they were still on the people they were attached to.

"These bastards... So this is what they mean by 'human bomb'!"

Kurapika was secretly angry.

In a blink of an eye, Gan Shu had installed bombs on ten passengers. He treated everyone equally, regardless of gender, age or status, without any mercy.

This is Ganshu’s “sound of life”.

Just by touching someone's body and saying words containing "bomb", you can set a bomb on that person.

If you explain the specific effects of the "Sound of Life" to the other party in more detail, the bomb will be activated and the countdown will begin. After the countdown ends, it will naturally explode.

If Ganshu wants to detonate it immediately and increase the power of the explosion, he needs the help of Shabu and Bala.

Ganshu is a "materialization type", Shabu and Bala are "release type" and "operation type" respectively.

As long as the three of them put their thumbs together and shout "Liberation" in unison, they can control all the bombs to explode at the same time and amplify the power of the explosion.

This "all bombs" really means all. Even if the opponent is far away on the "Greed Island" or somewhere else, the bombs on his body will be detonated.

The "liberation" that the Bomb Trio needs to chant is the true meaning of what Shabu just said. As long as the passengers are obedient, they will "completely set you free" later.

Let the bodies of all the people in the carriage perish and their souls ascend, this is what they called "liberation" in a mocking tone. The bomb trio just used this method to gather the people in the last carriage and create a group of human bombs.

After the three bombers entered another carriage, they detonated the bombs on everyone in the last carriage.

As a result, the concentrated force instantly blew through the last carriage, and it turned into a fireball, burning fiercely.

Afterwards, the three bombers did the same thing again, detonating a human bomb in the back carriage.

The reason they did this was initially because Kuroro told them to find Germain and his accomplices and kill them.

After discussing it, the three bombers used the simplest and most direct method, blowing up one car after another, so that there would be absolutely no possibility of missing anything.

Whether it was German or his accomplices, they would all be killed in the explosion.

Those who don’t want to die will naturally jump out, and they will just have to deal with it when the time comes.

However, when they were about to detonate the third car, they noticed a "super destructive punch" fired by Wo Jin in the middle of the train.

This is enough to prove that the "Phantom Troupe" has found its target.

So, after the three bombers casually detonated the third carriage, they did not stay in the middle carriages, but walked through the corridor, preparing to attack German and his accomplices from the front and back.

But the train stopped at this moment.

This made Ganshu realize that the situation had changed again, and he then observed from a distance the battle between Germain, Ugin, and Nobunaga on the roof.

He was always cautious, so he thought about it and chose a safer method.

They will place a human bomb in this carriage, and as soon as German approaches this carriage, they will immediately detonate it somewhere else to kill or severely injure the opponent.

If time were not limited, they would actually have the opportunity to equip all the passengers in all the carriages with bombs, and then they could have a "grand fireworks party".

This is the only way to deal with it now.

After thinking about the plan, they finally chose this carriage.

So, Ganshu began to install bombs one by one, while Shabu and Bala were responsible for holding the passengers hostage.

When Kurapika saw this, he thought for a short while and understood everything.

"Although the teacher asked me to weaken my presence, find the right time, and make Nobunaga and Uzumaki make mistakes... But I can't let them set traps here, and I can't just sit there and surrender."

"If it's one on one, I should be able to handle the two with red hair and black hair. Only this Gan Shu is much stronger than me, not to mention that all three of them are here."

"I'm not confident that I can fight three of them head-on. I can only try to solve them one by one... What should I do? If it's the teacher, what would he do?"

While Kurapika was thinking hard, he heard Wo Jin's hoarse voice cursing and a series of loud explosions coming from the carriage not far away.

His breath hitched.

"The battle between the teacher, Ugin, and Nobunaga is about to extend here. I have no choice but to jump out and remind the teacher that there is a trap here..."

Kurapika clenched the "chain" in his hand, looked at the three bomb demons, and wanted to slip out of the car when they were not paying attention.

However, when he scanned the area, he unexpectedly saw a familiar face... No, two familiar faces, but they were in different positions.
