Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 511 A Quiet Corner, a Not-So-Peaceful World
After destroying the second ritual stone formation without any accident, German stood there and counted the harvest.

"The remains of the drowned crew"

"The remains of the intoxicated siren"

"The Creep of the Abnormal Limp: Consume a type of Resentful Gifting Device to summon creeping claws from any location to attack the target, leaving a mark of continuous bleeding and poisoning."

「4 Teleportation Lanterns (currently 24 in total)」

As before, Germain left a lantern next to the broken stone formation.

There is no purpose, I just left it because it might be useful.

This became the thirteenth teleportation point he lit up, right next to the special teleportation point of the ritual stone formation.

German still has two special teleportation points that have not been lit up. One is where the mist-like creature E is, and the other should be the location of the last ritual stone formation.

Jin first took a good look at the stone circle ruins, just like he did after defeating the "Collector" before, and then stood aside with his hands in his pockets.

"Dong, still no show." He said, "We did decide not long ago to stop worrying about his situation, but now I have to doubt the possibility."

Germann already knew what he wanted to say, nodded, and replied: "Let's talk about it later... If things really develop to the point you and I think, we will have no choice but to take action."

He had actually thought of this, but now it was Dong's descendant, Jin, who pointed it out first.

Kim nodded, once again agreeing with Germain's idea.

The current situation is that the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. They cannot allow the "God of Flesh and Blood" to devour the east and west banks of Lake Mobius.

In that case, humans would lose their future and could only be lambs to be slaughtered in the cage of the six continents, leaving their fate in the hands of demigods.

German, Jin, and Biscuit and others who stayed in the ancient labyrinth were unwilling to see such an irreversible situation.

What's more, they have now destroyed two-thirds of the ritual stone formations, and it is too late to withdraw from the operation now.

The "God of Flesh and Blood" and its faction would never allow them to leave the West Coast and the Dark Continent easily.

So, Germain and Jin set out on their journey again, heading to the last ritual stone circle, which was also the farthest place from the ancient labyrinth.

The four-wheeled carriage was speeding at a speed comparable to that of a rumbling train, but even so, it took a long time to drive diagonally towards the last point on the southern side of the west bank.

Their trip lasted from the beginning of March to the end of March, and they were finally quite close to the red circle location marked on the map.

This time, Jin and German were alone in the carriage, and he no longer felt that he was both there and not there. German was always calm.

Peace, peace, peace, and peace—

Jin felt that this was a little abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was abnormal.
-
At the same time, Greed Island was hit by a wave of unrest.

Juezijela, who has now become one of the administrators, raised his white eyebrows when he saw the collected data.

"There are so many?" He was surprised. "Are these numbers accurate?"

"Accurate. I have confirmed it with Ida, Elena and others, and also with Ikchamp's calculations. It cannot be wrong."

The strong Lei Zha crossed his arms across his chest, his arm muscles looking like they were cast in copper or iron.

He frowned and said: "Since the end of February, this phenomenon has appeared one after another. As the number of cases increases, we have to pay more attention to it."

Starting from the end of February, everyone on Greed Island, including staff and players, may suddenly enter a strange state. In fact, it cannot be said to be "sudden", because according to their investigation, there are often conditions and signs before entering this strange state.

And, to be precise, it enters two different states.

When the parties encounter some strong stimulation on the Greed Island and their mental fluctuations are extremely great, they may fall into two completely different states.

One is "torture" with a dark red glow all over the body, and the other is "virtue" with a silver glow. No matter which one it is, it will affect the emotions of the people around and cause a chain reaction.

The two states will bring opposite experiences to the parties involved - "torture" will disturb the mind and weaken combat effectiveness, while "virtue" will strengthen the will and enhance combat effectiveness.

After this phenomenon occurred frequently, it soon caused an uproar among the player community, and they began to discuss it heatedly in the forum.

Players would naturally think that this is the hidden mechanism of Greed Island Z.

Apart from complaining about the game officials not releasing an update announcement in advance, they did nothing else. Instead, they enthusiastically discussed the trigger mechanism and how to use it, and even found it quite interesting.

Later, resourceful players even conducted their own research and analysis and found out that Greedy Island had hidden one of their values ​​- "Spirit Value", and this value was the key to triggering the state.

Only when the "spirit value" drops to 0 or a certain limit can the player enter one of the two states and maintain this state for a period of time.

Generally speaking, the probability of triggering "torture" is much higher than that of "virtue".

This is normal. The benefits brought by "virtue" are quite high, and it can also enhance the teammates. It is really a beneficial mechanism for team battles.

Of course, if the word that was revealed was "torture", the situation would take a turn for the worse.

However, if the player triggers "torture" and wants to get rid of it quickly, there are stable ways and methods, one of which is "removing thoughts".

Therefore, during this period, Abenganie and Sina became more popular than before, but their "Mind-Cleansing" cooldown period was too long and could not meet the players' growing demand.

Greed Island must have more solutions.

"Leiza, what exactly causes this phenomenon?" Juezijuela has been observing this phenomenon for some time.

Only administrators like them know that this is not a game mechanism at all, and it will be triggered even if the staff members like them are not careful.

In other words, this was an indiscriminate telekinetic attack that covered all living beings on Greed Island.

After seeing the manifestations of those two states, Lei Zha guessed the source almost immediately and went to verify it.

Sure enough, at the lantern transmission point on Greedy Island, he saw strange patterns appearing on the ground, shining like rivers flowing into the sea.

He discussed this matter with Grandma Lin Nie and came to a rough conclusion.

The teleportation lantern that Germain left here is constantly spreading his influence to the entire island.

"Torture and virtue" is the manifestation of his influence, and almost no one is immune.

Leiza did not respond directly to Juezijela's question. Juezijela was not yet a core member of Greedy Island, so he could not tell him many things about Germain.

However, Lei Zha thought that the time was probably getting closer and closer, and by then, whether he wanted it or not, Juezijuela would know everything.

After he persuaded Juezijela to leave with vague words, he found a secluded place, used the ring in his hand, and the system updated by Ikshanpei and Duen to remotely contact everyone in the New World.
