Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 423: The Surge of Blood/The Bomb of the Contract

Hua Shidoulang couldn't believe his eyes.

Two figures suddenly appeared not far away, and one of them was someone he knew.

When he challenged Hisoka again in the Sky Arena, he saw German and Illumi who were present at the time.

German gave him advice on how to practice Nen.

Ilmi, on the other hand, looked down on him.

As for how Mereon, a chameleon-like sub-human, came to be mixed up with Illmi and appear before him, Hua Shidoulang had no idea.

He was only temporarily employed by the Hunter Association, so of course he didn't know about the existence of Mereon, the Chimera Ant, on BW1.

Illumi slowly stood up, holding the golden needle in his hand ready to go, and looked at Hisoka: "Hmm...how did you detect our presence?"

"You mean his abilities?"

One of Hisoka's fingers detached from his detached arm and floated in the air, pointing at Merewon.

"His ability is indeed powerful, but my perception is even better. As long as you have the intention to kill, I can sense your presence."

Ilmi thought for a while and then nodded suddenly.

He didn't feel anxious at all about the situation.

“I see. It’s “priority”, right?”

"One is to eliminate one's own existence, and the other is to sense the killing intent and feel the existence."

"When two conflicting abilities collide, the effect with higher priority will take effect, as the game text explains."

Merewon was still coughing up blood violently. The previous blow had caused a dent in his green-skinned chest.

He felt so weak that he couldn't get up.

Mereon, with chattering teeth, listened to the conversation between Hisoka and Illumi, feeling extremely regretful.

I should not have listened to Ilmi and should not have taken action against this terrible monster.

However, the superb killing skills displayed by Ilmi, coupled with his ability to hide, should have been a perfect killing move, but he did not expect that it would be cracked before he could get completely close.

He couldn't understand how Illumi could be so cheerful and talkative with Hisoka.

Doesn't this guy Ilmi know that we are in big trouble?

"How did you obtain this ability and...form?" At this time, Illumi asked Hisoka curiously.

"Very interested?" Hisoka's big grin seemed to be able to tear it wider, and he made a clicking sound, "Then answer my question first."

Ilmi thought for a while and actually agreed: "That's fair, go ahead and ask."

"Why are you here?" Hisoka was not surprised at all that Illumi agreed to his request.

"Two points," Ilmi replied. "First, someone hired me to kill you at all costs. You are the target of my hunting on this voyage."

"Secondly, you once sent me a 'marriage proposal', and you ruined my mission in the Kajin Empire, so I have to respond."

"Oh, who hired you?" Hisoka raised his fluttering arms before Ilmi could answer. "Wait, don't tell me yet. Let me guess."

"I have a lot of enemies... Germain? Impossible. He would use you to achieve his goal. He wouldn't hire you to hunt me down while he himself stays out of it."

"Ten old men? The leaders of the other two mafia families in Kakin? They shouldn't be..."

"During the two-month voyage, two of them died, and Melena and I just ate the remaining ten."

"If you are hired by them, then this chess piece is hidden too well. Do you plan to use it after reincarnation?"

"The 'three idiots' of the Hunter Association? They do have a lot of 'disagreements' with me, and they have plenty of motives."

"However, from what I have heard, they have big opinions about everyone, including but not limited to their guild leader Isaac Netero, Bijand, and even you."

"The three of them are sanctimonious. They will never cooperate with you unless they are crazy."

"Ah... I know, it's Kuroro." Hisoka had lost his shamelessness, but still managed to reveal an expression of understanding.

"This was his last wish." Illumi confirmed Hisoka's guess, "He knew that either Germain or you would find him soon and kill him and his companions who were already disabled."

"German can still make deals, but you won't listen to his deals right now."

"All you want is to satisfy your increasingly greedy desires as much as possible."

"You enjoy the pleasure of mentally raping another man." "He gave me a generous reward and asked me to kill you as much as possible. Whether I succeed in the end or not, the reward is mine."

Illumi stared at Hisoka with his lifeless black eyes: "I am a killer with a strong professional ethics. I have to at least try."

Hisoka laughed that dry laugh again: "So that's how it is... I heard about his death and felt it was a pity..."

"But he's right. I do lose interest in him."

"But, killing his companions in front of him with my own hands, and then killing him, this feeling is indeed irresistible... It's a pity that Germain got there first."

"By the way, where did Germain go? I thought he would be on this ship." Hisoka's tone was not without regret.

"I don't know." Yilmi spread his hands, the golden needle between his fingers gleaming in the dawn light, "He came to my house twice, other than that, I haven't seen him."

"Now you can answer my question, right? Hisoka, how did you and the woman behind you become what you are now?"

"Are you envious?" Hisoka turned to look at Melina, then turned back and said, "To be honest, I only know a rough idea."

He pointed at Melena and said, "The source is the bloodline of the Kajin royal family..."

"As long as you live with someone with this bloodline for a year or so, and kill people for them during this time and get stained with blood, a 'contract' will be established."

"After the explosion, some kind of force first affected the bloodline of the Kajin royal family, whether they were alive or dead."

"Then it's the turn of the 'Contracted'... Most of us will mutate into unique monsters, and at the same time, gain the ability to absorb the resentment of the dead to strengthen ourselves."

"There is also a small number of people who, although they did not mutate immediately, it is only a matter of time... They are the "time bomb."

"The resentment of ordinary dead people is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. We quickly mastered a more acute perception, able to track the thoughts and killing intentions, no matter how weak they are..."

Melena stuck out her tongue and licked her lips with a hungry look on her face.

This ability that was suddenly given to her is simply an enhanced version of her Nen ability.

She used it with ease and without any scruples.

This man and woman have been partying like this until now.

Ilmi curled his lips and said, "It seems that I can't rely on your methods to turn the situation around."

He glanced again at Merewon, who was still lying on the ground, and at Hua Shidoulang, who was extremely alert not far away.

Unlike Hua Shi Doulang who was impressed by Yilmi, Yilmi had long forgotten about Hua Shi Doulang.

To him, this was just a stranger he met for the first time.

Ilmi habitually thinks about gains and losses and positions.

Merleon was injured and it was impossible for him to adjust his breathing and activate "God's Accomplice".

The Nen user over there is too weak, and cooperation cannot achieve good results.

Hisoka and I have basically no room for maneuver. He and his female companion will most likely not miss the opportunity to absorb the resentment from me to become stronger.

In this case, I can only use the golden needle to control Mereon and the Nen user to fight and see if I can create some kind of turning point...

buzzing-

A strange and subtle sound was heard, but it could not be hidden from the group of extremely sensitive Psychic users present.

They all turned their heads to look, and saw a mechanical flying ball with its small wings flapping, flying like a hummingbird.

The red mechanical eye flashed.

When everyone was confused, another figure jumped here from a branch not far away and stood next to the mechanical flying ball.

This surprised everyone.

They felt the mechanical flying ball, but they didn't feel the man.

How on earth did he get close?
When everyone saw the face clearly in the hazy morning light, the atmosphere on the scene changed again and again.

Germain?!

His sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

Hisoka, who was originally thinking about Germain, no longer had a smile on his cracked mouth.
