Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 222 "Those who have the means to seek freedom will lose their freedom?"

Biscuit spent a quarter of an hour describing to everyone attending the meeting the experiences of their team of four in the "Ancient Labyrinth" over the three days.

The twists and turns, especially the two battles of "Night Raid Bloody Battle" and "Slaying the Painful Bloodthirsty Apostle", are terrifying to hear about.

German just listened quietly without adding anything.

As everyone listened to Biscuit, they looked through the photos that she and Jin had taken with the "stereo camera" and then developed.

These photos can be zoomed in and out just like cell phone photos.

What’s even more amazing is that photos can partially restore the sense of touch, making the bumpy feeling more realistic.

It was not until now that everyone had a sense of reality - the German team had indeed accomplished a great feat, they had brought back a kind of "hope" from the "Dark Continent".

The former Bi Yangde team had the opportunity to become the first team to accomplish this.

They had also obtained the "Alchemical Plant Metarion", but unfortunately they failed on the return journey.

The German team had the right time, place and people, which enabled them to accomplish this great feat.

"That's what it is."

Biscuit's short hair made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

Her tone changed from being playful and cute to being serious, making everyone realize that she was indeed a senior.

"German was the first tester of the 'herb that cures all diseases', and the results were in line with expectations. As for all its potential, it will take Sambika to tap it."

Sambika shifted his body in his seat, feeling a little pressured.

She put her hands on her knees and lowered her head, like a shy student listening carefully to her teacher's instructions.

However, everyone present knew that her medical skills were so advanced that she deserved the title of "One-Star Hunter".

There would be no problem in letting her research the "Herb that Cure All Diseases".

Despite this cute contrast, no one thinks Sambika can't do it, it just takes time.

Biscuit said this while walking around the conference table in the conference room.

However, her figure was too small now, and people could not see her lower body. They could only see her head from her neck up, giving people an eerie feeling that her head was floating around the round table.

After walking around, she finally returned to her seat, next to Germain and Xiaodi.

"The next highlight is the negotiation with President Netero. Menqi, Buhara, and I will protect a plant of "Herb of All Diseases" and have a secret conversation with President Netero."

"I have already explained this matter to him in advance and have agreed on a meeting place. In any case, there will be a result within a week."

"But we must consider the worst-case scenario—"

"That means the three of us were detained, and President Netero and V5 broke into Greed Island, took away all the Cure Herbs, and controlled all of us."

Biscuit turned and looked at Germain.

"If something like this happens, we don't need to do anything. We can just let them do whatever they want. German, please don't do anything rash."

Germain looked at her: "Why do you think I would mess around?"

"I'm afraid you'll start a fight if we don't agree. After all, you're obsessed with the Dark Continent."

"The reason is simple. We have successfully retrieved one kind of "hope", but there are still four kinds of "hope". They can't resist that temptation. "

"In previous Dark Continent Explorations, V5 paid a high price but gained nothing. They need us, but our personal freedom will definitely be restricted in the future."

"German will definitely be under complete surveillance and become a tool for V5 to travel to and from the Dark Continent."

Biscuit stared at Germain.

"You will lose the chance to explore the Dark Continent forever because of your "Nen ability". V5 will not risk letting you continue."

"I know you've realized this, and I also know that you'd definitely do something like attacking President Netero, so I told you not to do anything rash."

German listened expressionlessly, neither accepting nor objecting.

This attitude gave Bisiji even more headaches.

At this time, Lei Zha, who was sitting opposite the round table, put his strong arms on the table and squinted his eyes.

"So...what is the good outcome for us?"

Bisiji smiled; she had been waiting for Lei Zha and the others to ask.

"Of course the old man is in cahoots with us, we are like-minded and share the same affinities..."

“Ahem… In short, he protected us and provided help secretly to maintain the status quo for the time being.”

"At the same time, the old man will renegotiate with V5 the terms that completely banned the exploration of the Dark Continent and remove the taboos and shackles."

"The Hunter Association will take the lead, V5 will provide funding, and humans will return to the Dark Continent."

"At the same time, our "exploration" will not stop. Later, at the right time, we will meet up with the old man's team at a certain point and take back "hope". "

"This way, Germain's 'Transmission Lantern' will be hidden."

"Or, we can also reveal part of it and set it as a 'lantern that can only be transported within a certain distance', instead of being able to reach the 'Dark Continent' directly from here."

Bisiji paused and continued, "Another unstable factor is Biyangde's power."

"But as long as we grasp the key, that is, to pull the old man into our camp, Bi Yangde will not take the initiative to expose our situation if he wants to enter the Dark Continent in his lifetime."

"We share the same goal as Bi Yangde's forces, but we use different methods. I believe Bi Yangde will make the right choice, and then the old man may also remove the "shackles" on him."

Lei Zha crossed his arms across his chest, revealing his angular muscles. "So, the key point now is whether we can get President Netero to stand on our side in this negotiation and finally achieve our plan to conceal the truth."

"German will not lose his freedom. We will get more funding, and the Biyangde forces will get the opportunity to set off for the Dark Continent. Hope will bring changes to the six continents."

"This is the best possible outcome."

Biscuit nodded.

"This is also the best outcome for Jin, who is currently stationed in the Ancient Labyrinth. If Germain is controlled, he might act alone in order to do whatever he wants."

Leiza pursed his lips.

"That's indeed his style... Ah, speaking of Jin, I almost forgot something he told me."

Leiza looked at Duen and Lister.

"Here it is." Liszt took out a card from his pocket, stood up and walked towards Biscuit, and handed it to him solemnly, "Jin said that the "Blue Planet" is yours."

Although Bisiji was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but open his eyes wide and reveal a greedy look.

"Hey hey hey..."

She immediately unsealed the card, and with a "bang", a blue gem as blue as an aquamarine planet fell into her palm.

Biscuit looked at it carefully, held it up to the sunlight, letting it emit brilliant light, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"You, you still belong to me. You can't run away, right?"

Biscuit seemed to be talking to her beloved lover so absorbed in the conversation that she didn't even notice that Liszt had returned to his seat.

Du En spoke at this time.

"Game consoles and teleportation spell cards don't work in the Dark Continent, but Jin suggested in the video that it might be because the distance is too far."

He really wanted to smoke a cigarette.

However, before the meeting started, as soon as he took out his cigarettes and lighter, he received a murderous look from the usually timid Sambika, so he had to put them back silently.

As soon as he started thinking about the technology, his smoking urge came back and his legs shook involuntarily.

"If V5 and the Hunter Association return to the Dark Continent, then we will have a chance to build a bridge between Greed Island and the Dark Continent."

"Jin Ye is really something, actually staying there alone..."

"We will be able to prepare a new batch of 'resource cards' soon. When do you plan to return to the 'Ancient Labyrinth'? Where are you going to explore next?"

Biscuit was still immersed in the one-on-one whispered conversation with "Blue Planet" and completely ignored Duen's question.

There was an awkward silence at the round table.

It was not until everyone else's attention was focused on German that he remembered that he was nominally the "number one person" here.

In the current "Greed Island", it is actually divided into two factions.

That is, the group of Jin, Leiza, Dun, Liszt, Ida and Elena, and the group of German, Bisgi, Xiaodi, Menqi, Buhala, Sambika and Abenganie who moved in later.

However, Kim has expressed support for German's decision in a recorded video.

In this way, German is nominally the leader here.

"I plan to return to the Ancient Labyrinth after Biscuit and the others have a successful negotiation with President Netero. As for the next place to explore, it will of course be the Hope."

"The "New World Chronicle: Eastern Chapter Fragment" has proven its authenticity and reliability in the "Ancient Labyrinth Exploration". It mentions that the "Herb of All Diseases" can cure the "Immortal Disease."

"Of course, it can only treat the early stages of the 'Immortal Disease'."

"Once a life is infected with the 'immortal disease', only the body remains and the soul is completely dissipated, then the 'herb that cures all diseases' will be powerless to save the life."

"We have a lot of 'Herbs of All Diseases' in our hands. We can use them to resist the 'Immortal Disease' and obtain the 'Alchemical Plant Metarion' located in that area."

Du En stroked his chin.

"If that's the case, we will work with Sambika to quickly seal the potion made from the 'Herb of All Diseases' into a card and give it to you to take with you."

He scratched his afro, looking a little distressed.

"Really? I thought Jin was arrogant enough when he said, 'I will go to the Dark Continent sooner or later', but I didn't expect someone would respond to him and achieve this."

"This is Jin's dream. His dream needs your help. In order to help him, we will also help you. So, just leave this work to us."

German nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Besides that..." Du En hesitated and asked, "Jin stayed in the Ancient Labyrinth on purpose to make room for the Teleporting Lantern."

"Have you decided on the next 'four-person team'?"

Germain held up two fingers.

"There are two situations."

"In the first scenario, Bisiji, Menqi, and Buhala successfully negotiate and are able to return here freely. Then our team members will be me, Bisiji, Xiaodi, and Menqi."

"In the second scenario, the negotiations fail and Bisiji and the others are detained. Then our team members will be me, Xiaodi, and Sambika."

German, Bisgi, Xiaodi, Menqi and Buhala are all people who have experienced "lantern transmission" at least once. They have the highest priority, followed by Sambika.
