Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Chapter 158 The Succession War Begins × Parasitic Mind Beast

There is one thing Joey didn't say, that is, unless you are a trait type.

Because among the six systems, only the trait system has the particularity of mind, and it is possible to master special abilities from the beginning of awakening, or to develop corresponding effects after a short period of learning.

For example, the Fourth Prince's Nian, the Ant King Meruem's Nian, or Joey's golden experience.

These abilities can either be grasped and understood with a little exploration after awakening the mind, or the initial effects of the mind can be easily developed with a direction.

Otherwise, if everyone wants to develop their own abilities, they will either take shortcuts and choose to use oaths and restrictions, or they can only practice step by step.

But oaths and restrictions cannot be completed casually.

Whether it’s Joey’s oath and restriction on the use of his Nen ability, Kurapika’s oath and restriction on the use of his ability, or the oath and restriction of the blackened Gon in the comics, there is a prerequisite, that is, they know what they need. , and what they can pay for it, and all three of them have enough awareness.

If someone really regards oaths and restrictions as weapons that can be used to enhance combat power or reverse the situation at any time, then the end that awaits him will definitely not be a good one.

Kate had already made this very clear to Joey when developing abilities, and even gave Joey a few examples.

Of course, if the reversal conditions can be obtained through oaths and restrictions at the most critical moment, no one will not choose it.

But things in the world are never that simple.

Equivalent exchange is also the key to oaths and restrictions.

If the constraints you propose are not balanced with the pledge you want to obtain, it will not be established.

So if you want to fight back before death, it depends on whether the price you pay can be recognized?

As for who is recognized, Joey doesn't know, and Kate doesn't know either, but there will be a steelyard somewhere that will put effort and gain on both sides of the scale. Only when a balance is reached can the "deal" be completed.

Because Xiaojie has enough talent and is willing to give up a good future for the short-term gain of future power. He has this awareness, so the restriction is achieved. Under the effect of the oath, he defeated Nephibid.

Joey is also talented enough, and even keeps learning all kinds of knowledge about the weather in order to be able to control the atmosphere. On this basis, he uses his thoughts to be able to stay within the circle instead of being able to leave the circle. Absolute control of the atmosphere.

It is also an equivalent exchange based on sufficient awareness and goals.

The only thing that transcends this scope is perhaps the unreasonable method of recitation after death.

But it is not easy to achieve the effect of activating thoughts after death.

At the very least, the person who uses Nian must not be afraid of death, and even be fully aware of death.

In Joey's opinion, the Twelve Princes were not up to standard in any aspect, whether it was oaths and restrictions or recitation after death.

So even if she can learn to read, she can only learn slowly.

Of course, this does not rule out that the Egg in the Pot ritual may have an auxiliary effect on improving the prince's abilities, but that would require the prince himself to be interested in it and be extremely thirsty for power.

But the Twelve Prince... Joey took one look and chose to let nature take its course.

So Joey wasn't going to teach Mimuzawa about oaths and restrictions, because it wasn't necessary.

What he has to do is to let Mu Mu Ze see Nian in the succession battle and have a simple ability to protect himself.

Other safety issues and dealing with risks are still things that he and Kurapika should consider.

But after seeing Joey's ability, Kimuzawa was obviously full of fantasies about Nian, especially when Kurapika was interrogating the guards. She also heard about the egg-in-a-pot ritual, and even more about what she had. The guardian spirit beast is full of curiosity.

Mumuzawa's guardian spirit beast can be said to be one of the first mind beasts to be exposed.

Its ability should be to control the target by asking others "Are you available?" and after obtaining the other party's affirmation, that is, the answer of "Are you available?"

It can be regarded as a kind of operating system telen beast.

In the eyes of Joey and Kurapika, Mimuzawa's guardian spirit beast is also an excellent weapon for them.

But the premise is that Mumuze can restrict the movement of the mind beast to a certain extent.

Otherwise, the out-of-control guardian beast may cause greater trouble for everyone.

Kimuzawa seemed very tired. When Kurapika interrogated several guards, she couldn't help but yawned several times.

"You obviously didn't do anything today, why are you so tired?" Mu Muze found a chair and sat down, looking tired.

"It's very simple. Without you knowing, your mind beast activated its ability, and the use of this ability consumes your physical strength and energy." Joey explained: "So, What you should do now is to take a rest."

"But..." Mumuze lowered his head, but his hand was placed on his stomach.

Joey understood instantly: "Wait a moment."

With that said, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

Although the whole day was indeed as Mumuzawa said, she didn't do anything, but in order to maintain the prince's demeanor, she also couldn't eat anything at the banquet.

So after not eating for almost a day, she was naturally very hungry.

Joey also didn't have anything to eat, so he simply brought out his and Kurapika's portions.

As for the other six people, it was none of his business. He wanted to eat and wait until Kurapika's questioning was over.

There are a lot of ingredients in the kitchen of the prince's room. Originally, these things should be left to the waiters, but the waiters of the Twelve Princes were also transferred away.

So Joey and others can only do these things by themselves.

While Joey was making something, Kurapika also came over.

"The matter is very difficult, especially the mind beasts owned by the princes." Kurapika's eyes stayed on the six people in the distance, and he did not untie the six people.

When three of them have Nian, trusting anyone rashly or being lax about anyone may cause incalculable costs in the current situation.

Parasitic mind beast.

This is the information that Joey got from Kurapika and Milton after they told them about the egg-in-the-pot ritual.

However, because they knew this earlier, the two of them and the association were not completely unprepared.

It's just that parasitic mind beasts themselves are extremely difficult to deal with, because their characteristic is that their actions are difficult to predict.

A parasitic mind beast is usually someone's residual thoughts attached to the host and materialized with the help of the host's power. For this reason, the host's personality and emotional trends will have a greater or lesser impact on the parasitic creature.

At the same time, parasitic mind beasts are creatures that are far from the normal state of humans. In short, they are not like humans. They are born from the intersection of someone's thoughts and the thoughts of the host, so it is extremely difficult.

"The princes have different personalities, but they all have the same goal, which is to become the next generation king of Kajin. This is caused by Kajin's education of the princes."

Joey quickly fried rice while analyzing the situation: "So the person who created the egg in the pot, the ancestor of Cajin, should also have the goal of becoming a powerful king of Cajin.

Based on this, while protecting the prince, the Nian Beast will also follow two thoughts and make actions that it thinks are useful for the prince to inherit the throne. "

"That's right." Kurapika affirmed: "The Twelve Prince's Nian Beast left for a short period of time before. If you judge based on this reason, it is not difficult to think of where the Nian Beast will go and what he did. What."

"The Fourteenth Prince." Joey turned off the fire and filled the meal, and was very sure: "Because the Fourteenth Prince is the weakest in the entire succession war and the easiest to get rid of. As long as she is eliminated, the Twelve Prince will be further away from the throne. Closer to home, although this is completely nonsense, the mind of the mind beast should not be that complicated. "

"There is a question here, that is, will the Twelve Princes want to get rid of the lower prince? Or, what the Twelve Princes want more is the help of the lower prince?"

Kurapika also made an analysis. The starting point of his analysis was based on the character and experience of the Twelve Princes.

In this situation where her father does not care for her and her mother is partial to her, she should always be hoping that someone will become her "savior" in her heart! It was precisely based on this mentality that when Joey came to her through his ability, she made the decision to trust them and entrust her own safety to them.

Kurapika continued: "The main battlefield in the succession war will not be with the lower princes from the beginning, because the lower princes, especially starting from the tenth prince, will not be affected by their mother or their own political methods. Neither their connections nor their strength are enough to support them in becoming the next king of Cajin.”

"Yes, even judging from the performance at the previous banquet, they don't have the grace of a king." Joey gave his judgment unceremoniously.

The Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Prince are a pair of sisters. Although they have some small thoughts, they are not interested in inheriting the throne, but how to escape from the succession war.

The Twelve Princes would have even been prepared to die if he and Kurapika hadn't appeared.

The Thirteenth Prince is a young child, and relies more on his mother, the Seventh Princess, to expand his advantage. However, the Seventh Princess herself has few connections and abilities, and can provide him with very little.

As for the last fourteenth prince, he was still an infant.

"I have dispersed the coins, but it will take some time to get intelligence feedback." Joey handed the meal to Kurapika: "What are you going to do with those six people?"

According to Joey's idea, the easiest way to deal with it is to directly annihilate a few people.

But this method of handling also has drawbacks, that is, if only he and Kurapika are left, it will be very troublesome to deal with some of Kimuzawa's daily affairs.

Of course, this small drawback is not worth mentioning compared to the benefits of being alone with the two of them and Kimuzawa.

After all, if there are only three of them, Joey can do it freely.

That way they could get all kinds of information faster, especially since he would not be suspected even if he annihilated these six people.

Because when the King's Army handles this matter, they will never link the murderer to the two of them. It is even more likely that they will silently record it and then leave.

But Joey knew that Kurapika would most likely not make such a choice.

Sure enough, Kurapika's answer also verified his idea: "Restrict their actions. Although it will cost you and me some energy, it will also use these people to fish out more people behind the scenes, and even create a relationship with the upper prince." Opportunities for contact.

After all, there are guards of the first princess among them, and the first princess is the mother of the first prince Benjamin and the fourth prince Cheli Donich. "

"Okay, but the person who is mainly responsible for surveillance is you. I will focus more on collecting intelligence. At most, I will use Yuan to monitor a few people while you are resting. And once any abnormality is discovered, I will immediately report it to you. Dispose of suspicious persons."

"Well, of course." Kurapika didn't mind.

"That's right. There's a high chance that these people won't live long anyway." Joey smiled slightly, and a cold light flashed on the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses.

Kurapika did not refute this. Although he was closer to the principle of ahimsa, he could still take action if necessary.

In addition, he would not allow the six people to move completely freely.

But just as Joey was walking towards the Twelve Princes with the food in hand, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

Strange mind beasts with eyes and limbs like musical notes appeared in the room, and at the same time there were also mind beasts swimming like jellyfish.

There are a lot of these two kinds of mind beasts. In addition, there are insect-shaped mind beasts that penetrate the ceiling like ground burrowing insects, and a wandering dragon-like mind beast that walks in front of the two people.

Kurapika and Joey looked at each other, both of them on high alert at the same time.

Joey had more to think about.

According to his understanding of the comics, the current situation should take place in the room of the fourteenth prince, but now he has come to the room of the twelfth prince. Why?

In addition, the only Nian beasts he could tell belonged to were those with the same musical note and those with the same characteristics as the Wandering Dragon.

These two notes should be spit out by the sixth prince's telekinesis beast, while Youlong is completely the thirteenth prince's telekinesis beast.

As for the mind beast that looks like a digger or wormhole on the roof of the shed, Joey speculated that it might belong to the Tenth Prince or the Eleventh Prince.

The main reason is that he remembers that one of the two has the same ability as a space gate, but unfortunately he can't tell who is who.

The last jellyfish is completely unknown.

However, Joey is not worried that these Nian Beasts will pose a threat to the Twelve Princes. This is not only because there are Nian Beasts behind the Twelve Princes, but also because there are rules that prevent Nian Beasts from attacking each other.

This is the information Joey got from the comics.

Ka Jin's goal is to select a qualified king, not simply to let the prince rely on the mind beast to fight, because that is completely meaningless.

Therefore, there must be two kinds of rule restrictions for mind beasts.

One is that the mind beasts will not kill each other, and the other is that the mind beasts will not directly attack the humans who are attached to the mind beasts.

The Nian Beast provides more of a supporting role to the princes, because the king needs to avoid being in danger unless necessary.

This is completely different from the way the chimera ants would match up the king with the opponent's warriors.

In the history of Cajin, the king of Cajin is the "God of Efficacy" who sits behind the scenes. Whatever he thinks and does, he will bring victory and glory to the warriors!

Therefore, the judgment based on this point is that King Kajin's mind beast must be good at rear support.

Only in this way, with the Nian Beast assisting the foresighted and talented Wang Chu in making correct decisions, can Kajin quickly grow from being surrounded by many small countries to a big country that can threaten V5 today.

Now that the safety of the Twelve Princes can be confirmed, what Joey and Kurapika need to think about is saving their own lives and the lives of the other six Hosakus in the room.

However, Joey's thoughts changed. What would happen if he eliminated these wandering mind beasts here now?

When this idea appeared, Joey's eyes involuntarily fell on the swimming dragon nearby.

It's not that this thing is the easiest to deal with, it's just that the other guys exist in plural, and only it and the mind beast on the roof exist alone.

After comparison, it was obvious that it would be easier for Joey to know the consequences of his action if he dealt with the dragon who clearly knew its host.

At the same time, he also had some understanding of the Thirteenth Prince's Nian Beast in his mind.

The ability of this mind beast seems to be to separate spaces!

So how to touch it will be a problem, and even whether this kind of touch will be dangerous is completely unknown.

But once a decision is made, Joey will not change it easily.

Therefore, his circle that originally covered Youlong, when the weather mind beast on his shoulder appeared, spread out again to cover a larger area within the scope of his circle.

And his move was like a signal, instantly touching the swimming jellyfish and the floating musical note beast.

The two swam towards Joey's location at the same time.

Although I don't know what the abilities of these two things are, it is a very easy judgment to not let them get close.

Therefore, in the weather forecast, a cloudy and rainy day appeared, and the strong wind blew the raindrops on both of them. However, Youlong did not move at all during this change, and he still looked so carefree.

But Joey noticed that although Youlong was at the place where the raindrops fell, the raindrops quickly disappeared when they got close to it.

Obviously, there is a problem with the other party's side just like Joey's previous judgment.

But did it directly move the raindrops away? Or is it in another space itself?

Kurapika in the distance guessed what Joey was going to do the moment Joey's circle expanded.

But he couldn't help but frown, because he was not optimistic about Joey's approach. Although Joey showed other abilities, in his opinion, those abilities were not able to completely restrain the mind beast with unknown abilities.

But even if Joey takes action, he won't just sit idly by.

But before he could take action, Joey gave him a sign not to move rashly, and then Joey's entire body dissipated in the air.

Threads of ice crystals sparkled where Joey disappeared.

It was obvious that Joey had used some method to refract the light, making him completely disappear from other people's sight.

This method is not very clever, because as long as the circle is released, Joey's location can be accurately determined.

But this method is very useful, because no one can maintain the existence of the circle for a long time like Joey.

Kurapika did not move rashly, but turned his head and locked his gaze on the musical note, which slowly resumed swimming, and the jellyfish, which suddenly changed direction and swam towards another location.

And in that position, Kurapika saw the dragon in a completely leisurely state.

If Joey does not want to expose Killer Queen, using mirage on Killer Queen is the best choice. At the same time, he cannot let the dragon escape, so it is necessary to use the atmosphere to restrict the dragon, although it may not be effective.

But this alone is not enough, he also needs to break the space restriction near the dragon to touch the dragon.

To do this, he needs some spatial abilities, or to figure out the specific situation of Youlong to target him.
