Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 4: Always beware of the bad woman Machi's intuition
A tattoo can never be made in this way, without even the most basic ink.

But the fact is that Machi did it.

That can only mean that this was caused by her mind ability - "Transformation System·Mind Thread".

Through her strong will, she changed the nature of her Qi, turning it into silk thread that could suture nerves, blood vessels, bones and flesh. A mere tattoo was no problem at all.

Germain watched Machi's techniques very carefully.

Soon, he found that he could gradually see clearly Machi's movements and saw the strands of thoughts wrapped around Machi's needle.

This is because Germann "condensed" the energy generated by his own thoughts onto his eyes.

The so-called condensation is an advanced technique of thoughts that exists in the world view of Hunter x Hunter.

The basic skills of Nian are "entanglement, elimination, practice and release".

The advanced techniques are "circular, hidden, and concentrated".

The combination techniques are "round, firm, hard and flowing".

By using Condensation, not only could Germain see the movements of Machi's hands clearly, but his mind ability - Materialization - Hunter Badge was also activated at this time.

This is the advanced ability of the Hunter Badge that was born after his arrival.

Lines of "Chinese" that only German could see materialized before his eyes under the projection of the hunter badge.

"Vitality: 10 (mainly affects vitality and resistance, apprentice hunters have 1)"

"Endurance: 12 (mainly affects physical strength, potential energy, and manifest energy. Apprentice hunters have 1)"

"Vision Pressure: 1 (Mainly affects mental will)"

"Gifts of Resentment: Meat Saw, Fire Gun, 2 Lanterns"

The so-called "apprentice hunter" refers specifically to those who have opened the "Qi Jing Kong" and have only learned the four major practices of "Chan Jue Lian Fa".

German blinked thoughtfully, gaining a certain understanding of his own situation.

"All right."

Machi also withdrew her hands at this time, and her thoughts disappeared.

A tattoo of a twelve-legged spider with the number "8" on its abdomen appeared prominently on Germann's thigh.

She stood up, suddenly stared at Germain for a few seconds, and then said coldly: "My intuition tells me that you were thinking about something very rude and dangerous just now."

"I didn't." German shook his head and denied it decisively.

There was indeed a moment when he wanted to try to attack Machi with a meat saw or a musket to test his own mental ability, but he gave up the idea in the end.

On the one hand, the members of the Phantom Troupe are probably still hanging around.

On the other hand, although Machi's main role in the Phantom Troupe is a supporting role, her combat power is not weak.

Germain's fighting ability is only average in the Phantom Troupe. If it is a simple arm strength competition, he is still on par with Machi who is ranked sixth.

Unexpectedly, he just thought about this idea for a moment and Machi noticed it. What a keen intuition.

"I really don't get along with you." Machi stood up and reached into her trouser pocket to find something, not listening to Germain's explanation at all. "But we don't need to get along."

"Let me make it clear in advance that I am recommending you to Kuroro because we are both from Meteor City and you have considerable strength. It does not mean that we have a good relationship."

She pulled out a pink touchscreen smartphone and looked up at Germain.

"From today on, I will convey the captain's orders to you. Let's exchange phone numbers."

German searched his body and found his cell phone.

After seeing German enter his cell phone number into the contact list, Machi put the phone back into his trouser pocket and picked up a small cloth bag in the corner.

She put the small cloth bag on her shoulder and suddenly frowned at Germain.

"I always feel like... you seem a little different..."

German blinked. He didn't know whether Machi had really noticed something or was bluffing. It was best to remain silent at this time.

Fortunately, Machi didn't delve into it further.

"Then, let's say goodbye until new instructions are issued..." "Oh, by the way, if you need emergency stitches, you can contact me. I'll give you a discount because we're both members of the group."

As she spoke, she walked down the cold stone stairs without looking back, and her monotonous and cold voice echoed in the bell tower.

German waited until he heard Machi's footsteps disappear from the bell tower before he looked down at the still lit screen of his phone, which showed Machi's number.

His fingers moved rapidly on the screen.

German has a personal habit of giving contacts a nickname instead of their real name.

His description for Machi was "bad woman".

Then, German sat cross-legged on the cold floor and waited for about a quarter of an hour.

After making sure that all members of the Phantom Troupe were far enough away, he used Nen to materialize the Hunter Badge.

He stretched out his right hand forward, and the fragmented hunter badge passed through a chain and hung from his loosened palm to the ground, swinging like a pendulum.

Germain hung the hunter badge around his neck.

He wanted to see how big the difference was between his telepathic ability and the hunter ability in Bloodborne.

Soon after, Germann arrived outside the bell tower in the dim moonlight and headed towards a gloomy forest.

If the original memory is correct, then there should be "beasts" in this area.

Germann did not use any special or hidden techniques to conceal his presence.

On the contrary, he revealed his breath little by little using the technique of hair extension, just like throwing out bait and hook like fishing.

Sure enough, he had been deep in the dense forest for less than ten minutes when he smelled danger.

A pair of scarlet eyes lit up in the bushes.

The rustling sound was particularly clear in the dim moonlight and silent woods.

German calmly used the hunter badge hanging around his neck to materialize his weapon.

A meat saw, a strangely shaped, rusty, serrated machete.

Under normal conditions, the knife and the handle can almost fit together, roughly forming an oval ring shape, and German's hand is holding on the curved handle.

The musket is an exquisite hand-held firearm with a trigger positioned far back.

All of its bullets are made by Germann's practiced energy, which is then materialized through his thoughts.

German held the meat saw in his right hand and the musket in his left hand. He bent his knees cautiously on the spot, ready to strike, waiting for the prey to pounce on him.

As expected, the beast was not as patient as Germain.

It emerged from the bushes and bared its teeth at Germain.

Perhaps because it had been hungry for too long, sticky saliva dripped from its mouth.

This beast looked similar to a wolf, but it had two more legs and its black hair exploded like burning flames.

It let out a low, threatening roar from its throat, then suddenly started, rushed towards Germann, and in an instant, stepped into the sensing range of Germann's circle.

The demon wolf pounced towards Germann, its sharp canine teeth and claws gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

German calmly took the musket, aimed it at the wolf, and pulled the trigger.

boom--

Many bullets were fired and hit the demon wolf without any suspense.

The terrifying force penetrated its skin and flesh, leaving it in a horrible hornet's nest shape!

The demon wolf whimpered in pain, fell to the ground on the grass, and began to twitch all over.

The eroded abdomen was exposed in front of German.

Very good, success at the first try!
Seeing the demon wolf fall to the ground, German immediately approached.

"Pfft!"
He used the meat saw to stab the wolf's already tattered abdomen and penetrated its internal organs, causing them to churn.
