Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 351 The Equivalent Exchange of Happiness and Life
When Germain woke up, a dim light was shining in from outside the cave, and the long night had been replaced by the morning.

His dark crown and armor of contempt had long since disappeared, and the pain in his body and the gloom in his heart had transformed into heartfelt joy.

After he regained consciousness a little, he turned his head and saw that he was still resting his head on Xiaodi's thighs.

Xiaodi took off her glasses, leaned against the stone wall, tilted her head, and slept soundly with her mouth slightly open.

Can she sleep like this? Won't her thighs feel numb?
After Germann stood up, he gently lifted the blanket covering himself and covered Xiaodi with it without waking her up.

The rest of the people also slept in a mess on the ground, but they all crawled into sleeping bags. Only Xiaodi fell asleep sitting up for him.

It’s okay to wake me up… Germain chuckled and shook his head.

Menqi untied her hairband, letting her long green hair fall loose; Sambika took off his medical cap and mask, and both slept soundly with their eyes closed.

Mo Laowu looked a little strange without his sunglasses. His tall and strong body still looked bloated and funny even in the sleeping bag specially made for him.

It looked like a python was swallowing Mo Laowu alive.

Shortly after dawn, the person who took over the shift from Mo Laowu who had been on guard all night was Bisiji, who was sitting cross-legged at the door and yawning.

She saw that Germain had woken up and waved her hand slightly, which meant to let him come over.

Germain walked over and sat opposite her.

"Keep your voice down." Bisiji reminded in a low voice. She was like a well-behaved doll sitting on the ground. As long as she didn't open her mouth, "Mo Laowu just fell asleep not long ago."

"Yeah." Germann also lowered his voice and pointed outside the cave, "Without Mo Laowu's disguise, is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Biscuit replied, "His water mist camouflage was effective, and the dark sky last night also contributed to it. It wouldn't be so effective during the day."

German nodded and said, "That's right. Besides, we are here."

"Yes. Mo Laowu was in charge of disguise and search and detection last night. His mental energy and energy were greatly consumed. Even for him, it's time to have a good rest."

Mo Laowu's energy is as amazing as his lung capacity, which was demonstrated in the battle against the Chimera Ants between the NGL Autonomous Region and the East Goto Republic.

In particular, he dealt with Neferpitou's puppets in the capital city of the East Gothic Republic for several consecutive days, and then participated in the decisive battle against the Ant King's palace without stopping.

Even so, he can still perform better than Nob, Nakulu, Xiu Tuo, Pom and others. This is already a monstrous physique.

However, Bisiji still switched shifts with Mo Laowu so that Mo Laowu could have a good rest.

Bisiji knew that although Mo Laowu didn't say it, he was worried about the safety of his disciple Nakulu.

However, now they have no news about Jin and Nakulu, and they don't know how many days they will have to stay in the steep mountains. It is obviously not a wise choice to continue to let Mo Laowu consume his energy.

Mo Laowu actually got enough sleep because everyone had set up the "Card·Sleeping Girl" in advance to let him fall asleep instead.

Biscuit asked him to get into the sleeping bag and rest now, mainly to restore his mental energy, which was something that "Card·Sleeping Girl" could not fully restore for him.

"I went to bed in a hurry last night and didn't have time to ask in detail." German said, "Are all your electronic equipment unusable?"

"Yes." Biscuit nodded and said, "I wanted to contact you the first time, but I immediately found that the communicator I was carrying was unusable."

"Do you think it's the dark space that's causing the problem?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case." Biscuit pointed at Xiaodi who was sleeping against the wall. "I thought so at first, but then I ruled out this possibility."

Germann blinked and understood: "If what Jage said is correct, Xiaodi's "bulgy fish" should be connected to the dark space..."

"But before that, the electronic equipment taken out of the "bulgy-eyed fish" can still be used." Biscuit raised his eyebrows, "The dark space is not the reason, at least not the main reason."

"It's the steep mountains." Germann looked at the morning mist outside the cave. "The electronic equipment was taken out of the "bulgy fish" and the card box, and then exposed to the outside, and then it can't be used."

Biscuit snapped her fingers, then looked into the cave worriedly. Fortunately, no one was woken up by her snapping fingers, but she still tried to keep her voice as low as possible.

"Before I found you, I discussed this issue with Mo Laowu, Xiaodi and others."

"German, do you feel that staying in the rugged mountains for a period of time will make you feel quite depressed? Will your mood be very low?"

"I do have this feeling. But isn't this caused by the torture of the Dark Crown?" Biscuit held his forehead.

"I almost forgot that, unlike us, you have been tortured all day, so the atmosphere around you is no different from the influence of the Dark Crown to you."

German was stunned by what he said. It was indeed like that. He was used to it.

Bisiji continued, "We were out of the torture a few hours earlier than you, so we are more aware of the strange effects of the steep mountains."

"What 'strange influence'?" asked Germain.

"The key is electricity." Biscuit carefully considered his words and gave his answer, "The terrain where the steep mountains are located is stealing all the electricity that can be taken away."

She pulled out her compact cell phone and shook it.

"Electrical current in electronic devices.".

Then she pointed to the places on German's body where the electricity had been applied.

"'Bioelectricity' in the human body."

Germann stroked that place, recalling the attack pattern of the brooding beast Pap, and roughly understood what Biscuit meant.

Biscuit continued to talk.

"Sambika said a lot of medical knowledge, but I didn't quite understand it, but the general meaning is that our nerve fibers have electrical signals transmitted, and we can also generate electricity? I think that's what it means?"

"Nerve impulses... But we can't discharge them directly. Only creatures like electric eels can discharge them."

Bisiji nodded without going into further discussion on this unprofessional issue.

"Oh, it seems to be this thing... In short, the loss of local electrical current in nerve fibers makes our reactions slow and our mood becomes depressed."

"That's why we feel the atmosphere is oppressive, because the mountains are really affecting us."

Germain naturally continued: "At this time, the human-cultivating beast Pap came into being to provide pleasure."

"Their tongues can penetrate into the brain or other places of the organism, directly stimulating the neurons and nerve fibers there, and have the ability to regulate our emotions and even cause hallucinations."

"Either I will continue to be excited to death under the tongue of the brooding beast Papu, or I will be hindered from being excited to death by the terrain of the steep mountains."

"This is the choice that the creatures living here, as well as the 1,000-member investigation team back then, need to make."

"'The equivalent exchange of happiness and life'." Biscuit repeated, "When the brooding beast Papu takes away the bioelectricity, it can give the creature a strong sense of pleasure, but doing so consumes the life of the creature itself."

"All the creatures that have fallen into depravity here will become 'batteries'." German shook his head, "I'm afraid this is the source of the electricity for the 'No Man's Stone'."

"We have to find Jin and Nakulu quickly. They may not know about these things now, and they may not act together."

"I agree."

Another half an hour passed, and the others woke up one after another, including Mo Laowu. The remaining sleep time was taken care of by the "Sleeping Girl" card.

Although the "Sleeping Girl" can fall asleep on behalf of Mo Laowu, she is quite fragile and needs someone to protect her when she sleeps.

Sambika performed this function.

Men Qi, dragging a plaster leg, calmly cooked a delicious breakfast for everyone. This was the only thing she could do to help everyone now.

After breakfast, everyone discussed and decided to split into two teams.

German and Mo Laowu went to other areas of the steep mountains to search for the whereabouts of Jin and Nakulu.

Biscuit, Xiaodi, Menqi and Sambika stayed in the cave.

Menqi has a fractured thighbone, Sambika needs to prepare medicine, and the "Sleeping Girl" needs protection, so it makes sense to leave Biscuit and Xiaodi behind.

After some tidying up, German and Mo Laowu set off.
