Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 421: Germain's Departure/Mereon's Unique Vision

Everyone in the control center was silent for a while, with only the sound of Lister's slow voice into the microphone and Piyou typing on the keyboard.

"So, how can we help you?" Biscuit broke the silence and brought the topic back to the beginning.

Gugu looked at Germain and the others present, and nodded as if she was admiring an oil painting on the wall: "We do need your help."

"Biscuit's 'Magic Beautician Cookies' can soothe those who are about to have a mental breakdown, just like Melody's ability to think. So I'll leave that to you guys."

"Sure." Biscuit nodded, and her golden twin ponytails swayed up and down.

"I see that Princess Oit and Xiutaina are both a little frightened. Melody should be taking care of them. Then I will start with the survivors in the hall."

Gu Gu turned to Xiao Di and said, "Xiao Di's 'bulgy-eyed fish' can not only transport and store things, but can also suck out some toxins, shrapnel, gravel, etc. from the human body."

"If you can follow Qiduo, Ge'er and the others and treat the survivors, it will be a great help to us."

Xiao Di also did not refuse: "Okay. I will go find them later."

Finally, Gugu looked at Germain and Jin: "Just as you can see..."

"We are in the control center. We are monitoring the situation inside the fortress, directing the defense operations, and trying to search for survivors outside. We are really unable to do everything at once."

"I hope you can share the pressure for us. One of you will stay in the outermost defense area of ​​the fortress, and the other will go outside to rescue as many survivors as possible and bring them here."

"We will promptly allocate manpower and material resources to provide support based on your situation in the control center."

German and Jin looked at each other, and the two who knew each other very well quickly made their own choices.

Jin stayed on the front line of defense of the fortress to ensure that the fortress would not be invaded by monsters from the outside, and to ensure that the order of the fortress would not be destroyed from the inside by the mixed survivors.

German went out alone, trying to save as many lives as possible in the early morning.

At 2:41 in the morning, German left the fortress through the small door, followed by a mechanical flying ball released by Lister.

The red eyes of the mechanical flying ball can transmit the images it sees to the control center.

At the same time, after a simple modification by Lister, the control center can also use it to communicate with German.

In addition, the power source of the mechanical flying ball is the "unmanned stone" that has been cleverly processed, so at least there is no need to worry about the battery life for the time being.

The long night is coming to an end, and the earth is shrouded in light blue before dawn.

During these long hours, "Chameleon" Merewon did not dare to cancel "God's alibi" at will.

Only when he really can't hold his breath anymore and needs to gasp for air, "God's alibi" and "God's accomplice" will be forced to be lifted for a period of time.

He was most vulnerable at this moment and he really needed a protector.

Especially after the outbreak of the chaos in BW1, the image of Mereon could be regarded as either of those monsters or as the Chimera Ants that already existed on the imaginary continent.

Damn... This place is full of man-eating Chimera Ants. It's like falling into a primeval forest where a cannibal tribe lives.

Mereon is also a chimera ant, but at least he doesn't eat humans or his own kind, and he already sits on the side of humans.

However, in the imaginary continent, his identity is quite embarrassing.

There is a possibility that they will be eaten by the same species of chimera ants with which they cannot communicate, or they may be killed by monsters that feed on resentment, or they may be killed by humans as if they were one of the two.

In a sense, he is really too difficult.

Therefore, just like in the Republic of East Gothia last year, Merewon needed to find a helper.

At that time, he took that step proactively and bravely, which led to the thrilling and heart-wrenching night of the subsequent decisive battle.

Merewon now needs to do something similar.

In fact, if possible, his first choice would be the relatively familiar Mo Laowu and Xiu Tuo. It was a pity that they were not here, and he was separated from them at the beginning.

After running alone exhaustedly for several hours, Mereon finally spotted a Nen user who looked very powerful.

He had been observing the man silently for quite some time.

No matter whether it was those monsters that absorbed resentment or the man-eating chimera ants, few of them could survive a few rounds at his hands.

Most importantly, Merewon could see that although this man was ruthless, he had been hiding and avoiding fighting as much as possible to reduce unnecessary battles.

Merewon didn't want to fight either. He thought that he and this man had similar ideas and they would definitely be able to hit it off.

So, he showed up on his own initiative.

However, the next moment, the golden needle shot by the man almost took Merleon's life, making Merleon terrified.

What's even more terrifying is that the man had already noticed Merewon's existence.

Only when Mereon breathes, "God's alibi" will be lifted and his existence will be observed by other lives.

The man was so far away, but Merewon could sense his presence just by taking a few breaths... Such strength was truly terrifying.

The man did not kill Merleon because he realized that Merleon had been following him with perfect hidden mind abilities, but he never attacked him from beginning to end.

He was a little curious about what this chimera ant following him was up to.

Thus, Merewon had the opportunity to explain the difference between him and those man-eating chimera ants and to express his desire to cooperate.

However, at this time, he had already secretly regretted it.

The man's black eyes were always open, he rarely blinked like a ghost, and his face was pale.

It was difficult for Merewon to tell what the man was really thinking.

He began to be unsure whether his choice was right. He didn't know for sure whether the man would refuse to cooperate and even kill him the next moment.

Although he could hide himself, this man was obviously able to shoot out the golden needles faster.

Besides, the man just couldn't see him, and the golden needles could still hurt him after they scattered.

If that's the case, then his ending is really terrible.

"Okay." Unexpectedly, the man with long black hair agreed without hesitation.

"Your name is Merewon, right? My name is Ilmi, and you have the same ideas as me. I think it's good to cooperate with others occasionally."

"Although the current situation is not good, I haven't completed the task given by my employer yet, so I can't stop and rest for the time being..."

Merewon had a feeling that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before, but at this moment he was more relieved that he had survived the disaster and did not think about it too much.

After that, Mereon shared the ability to hide with Illumi using "God's Accomplice".

And when Merewon needed to breathe, Illumi would stand by and ensure his safety.

The two of them benefited each other and spent several hours safely. In another hour or two, the sun would rise.

Mereon, who was holding his breath with his cheeks puffed out, gently patted Ilmi's arm, indicating that it was time for him to breathe.

So, Illmi, who was originally supporting Mereon, let go of the former, and stared at the panting Mereon with his calm black eyes.

Then, he suddenly spoke, startling Merewon: "Something is approaching. We'd better hide first."
