Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 393 I am the only real person, and you are all fake people

Since the Cursed One Dubisk has already exposed the matter, it is better to deal with it clearly rather than letting suspicion and anxiety spread.

Germain immediately woke Xiaodi up.

"Um...what's wrong? Is it daybreak yet?"

She rubbed her eyes, stood up dazedly like a baby, and put on her black-framed glasses slowly.

German gathered everyone together and sat them around the campfire, and no one was allowed to leave.

Dubisk's cold voice came again:

"Since when do we need your permission to know where we stay?"

"You should have noticed the problem, right?" Germann's black eyes under his tricorn hat looked at Dubisk. "If you want to figure out the situation, just listen to me for now. If my method doesn't work, then listen to yours."

Dubisk chose to retreat under German's gaze, walked to the campfire without saying a word and sat down.

The others also realized that something serious seemed to have happened and gathered together with serious expressions.

"You won't leave anyone guarding nearby?" The voice of "Crusader" Leonard came out from the helmet, and it seemed strange as if there was an echo.

"No need to stay." Germann made a prompt decision. "Sit down. We are all together. Let's solve the current situation first."

Everyone sat down and looked at Germain.

"My 'Transmission Lantern' is the key to traveling between the ancient labyrinth and this rainforest. And I can only bring three people at a time."

"In a recent meeting, we all agreed to reduce the number of team members to four and not increase it. These are facts."

"But when I realized something was wrong, there were already seven people in the team, and just now, one more person joined, making it eight."

"That is to say, there are four uninvited guests among us."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

"The reason we didn't realize this obvious problem is probably because we were affected by this area, just like the steep mountains."

"The death of the Twin-Tailed Snake Hell Bell was just the trigger. Now, if we don't catch the people who sneaked in, there will probably be more and more of them."

"At some point, they might suddenly attack and kill one or two people here, which would lead to suspicion and internal strife, and eventually turn into a situation of cannibalism."

"This is probably what happened to those monsters who killed their own brothers and sisters that we saw during the day."

Everyone understood what Germain meant. They were shocked at first, and then looked at their companions around them nervously.

Germann's eyes swept across everyone's faces, but he didn't see anyone with a strange expression.

"Now, look carefully at the people around you. Is there anyone you don't recognize?"

Everyone looked at each other again, and after a while, they shook their heads one after another.

German was not surprised by this. After thinking about it calmly for a while, he gradually understood what the Ochima Federation exploration team had encountered.

In the end, 11 people survived, and 99% of them died before reaching the swamp. So a simple estimate shows that there were at least 1100 people in the Ochima Federation exploration team.

If enemies like them infiltrated the huge and complicated team of more than 1100 people, the number might suddenly increase to 2 or 3.

Such a huge team sensed the presence of the enemy and began to suspect each other, and then more and more casualties appeared.

They were extremely nervous, and finally the string of reason finally broke... German knew that now was not the time to be reasonable. This was not the orderly and reasonable human world. He had to nip in the bud any signs of unrest.

He materialized a meat saw, which transformed with a snap, and then he chopped it onto a piece of firewood in front of him, embedding it inside without cutting it in half.

Germain's tone became cold and grim, and he deliberately lowered the brim of his tricorn hat to prevent others from seeing his eyes and expression.

"The 'Transmission Lantern' is the only prerequisite for all of us to travel back and forth, so I, who owns it, am definitely the real person here. Do any of you have any objections to this?"

It was the first time that German directed his murderous intent towards his companions, and everyone could feel the weight of the pressure at this time.

Everyone noticed that the atmosphere had taken a sharp turn for the worse, but the reality of the situation did not allow for any leniency.

After careful consideration, none of them questioned or denied that German was a real person.

"Now, let me judge who is real and who is fake." Germann continued coldly, "Do you have any objection to this?"

"What if you make a wrong judgment?" "Barbarian Warrior" Hart asked slightly unhappily, holding her rapier.

"I will give convincing reasons for my judgment," German replied.

"No matter what, I will act with the awareness that I am the only real person and you are all fake. If I make a mistake in my judgment, I will spend the rest of my life to atone for my sin."

Hart muttered in a low voice: "People are dead, what's the point of atonement..."

"Alright, alright!" "Crusader" Leonard clapped his hands, and his gloves made a popping sound. At this moment, he was not as cheerful and generous as usual.

"German is also here to find the enemy. Before we came here, we were all prepared to die here. If it is for the survival of our companions, I am willing to accept it calmly even if I am killed by mistake."

Hart stared at Leonard for a while and said, "Don't be so anxious to be a good guy. I'm not sure whether you are real or not."

Leonard was left speechless by these words. He coughed and fell silent.

"Oh!" Biscuit suddenly exclaimed, and then searched his body, "I know how to judge!"

She took out her camera, showed it to everyone, and said, "The uninvited guests probably modified our perception, but photos can never deceive people."

"I often take photos of the various landscapes of the Dark Continent, and occasionally I take photos of you. People who don't appear in the photos are definitely the most suspicious."

"But..." Dubisk, the Curse Binder, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again. He stared at Bisgi and said, "How can we be sure that your photo is real?"

"What if you are one of the enemies and have a way to modify the content of the photos? Then you can decide who is suspicious and who is not?"

Biscuit's hand holding up the camera paused, and then she said angrily, "Don't you all know what my telepathic ability is?"

"I'm not sure now." Dubisk said coldly, "Since the enemy can modify their cognition, they can naturally modify their telepathic intelligence..."

"I'll let Cookie come out and show you, is that okay?"

"Don't the enemies have three 'companions'? Even if your Nen ability is not, as long as theirs is, it will be enough to cover up the past..."

"You just assumed I was a fake, didn't you? You forgot that the side effect of your ability is to supercharge us. How many times have Leonard and I helped you clean up the mess? If Leonard and I weren't here, you would have blown up the entire team like a bomb!"

"But you..."

Seeing that Dubisk and Bisgi were about to have a big argument, German immediately stopped them and took out his mobile phone.

"I have some photos saved in my phone, let me take a look at them first."
