Hunter X Hunter: A Natural Trait Nemesis
Chapter 31: Oath: Stranger (1/5)
In other words, the trial has two parts.
One part is his Nen [Endless Trial]; the other part is this vast world.
"pledge……"
Sadness flashed in Zhou Jue's eyes, as if there were all kinds of emotions, including nostalgia and reluctance.
But in an instant, everything became firm.
He took a deep breath and spoke like an oath: "I abandon the peace and order of human society and embrace the cruel laws of nature."
"I gave up my stable residence, companions, intimate bonds, and group culture."
"I give up my natural rights as a human being in this society!"
"I will be homeless, trudging alone, and never have peace."
After saying these words, Zhou Jue felt that something was ripped away from his heart.
That is a very precious thing, a beautiful thing such as love, warmth, and bond.
But there was only determination in his eyes.
"In exchange, the place I set foot on is the place of trial!"
Zhou Jue swore to himself.
His voice was very soft, but it felt as thick as a mountain.
"Every person and everything I encounter is part of a trial!"
"Every second I live is either in a trial or on the way to a trial!"
"Oath - Stranger!"
boom!
After the words fell, Zhou Jue's heart was shocked.
He felt an invisible restraint fall and wrap around him.
This bondage bound his mind and emotions, so that the fire in his heart could only burn in his body and could never be expressed in his mouth!
His soul can never touch others!
Can't understand, can't be understood.
Like an outsider walking in a foreign country, everything he sees is specious, and familiar scenes cannot become his home.
From now on, the feeling of being able to rest peacefully only exists in my heart.
The oath is established! !
"Ah……"
Zhou Jue took out a breath and looked at the surrounding environment again. His feeling completely changed.
Cold, bleak, and safe.
Several thoughts suddenly flashed through my mind.
He unconsciously began to look at his surroundings from a survival perspective.
His nerves began to tighten, like a tight wire, and he no longer knew how to relax.
He felt intensely uneasy.
Like a traveler who has lost his shelter, or like a person walking alone in the dangerous darkness.
Everything around him was full of threats, and he had lost the safety of his home and the warmth of the fire.
But the strange thing is that Zhou Jue's sense of security has also become stronger.
Uneasiness and peace of mind seem to be two sides of the same coin.
The two go hand in hand.
"Circle?"
This reminded Zhou Jue of a metaphor from the past.
If human cognition is a circle, inside the circle is the known certainty, and outside the circle is the unknown vastness.
As people's knowledge and experience increase, what is known will increase and the area of the circle will expand.
But as the circle expands, there will be more exposure to the unknown.
It's like a curse.
The more you gain a sense of 'security' by improving your cognition, the more unknowns you will come into contact with, resulting in a stronger sense of 'uneasiness'.
It seems to never end.
"Haha, doesn't this just fit my Nen and my oath?" Zhou Jue laughed.
His whole temperament began to change.
Faintly, it feels a little more incompatible with the surrounding environment.
…
"Jerke, I'm back."
Zhou Jue took the shovel and walked into the door of Jerk's house.
As he opened the door, the cold air from outside came in as well.
inside the house.
Jerke shivered from the cold and cursed angrily: "Come back as soon as you come back. Why do you open the door like this! Don't you know that my old man is very cold?"
"Didn't I give you some Youse Lu's blood? Didn't you eat it?" Zhou Jue asked doubtfully.
The Youse Deer is very large and has a lot of meat.
Moreover, the cold resistance is only effective for the first time you take it, and you can only taste it if you take it later.
Zhou Jue therefore bought some palladium.
Palladium generously gave him three kilograms of flesh and blood, which Zhou Jue distributed to Jerk and Dean Anlai.
"effective!"
Jerke said in a low voice: "Otherwise in such a cold winter, I would have died long ago... But the effect is not as good as you said."
"Really? It may have something to do with physical fitness." Zhou Jue thought for a while and said.
Strong, young, and healthy people seem to gain more cold resistance after eating Youse Deer.
Jerke is over sixty years old. Although he looks tough, he has many minor health problems.
After eating venison, he experienced very little improvement, which is normal.
"It doesn't matter, I'm old enough, I just need to survive this winter." Jerke half-squinted his eyes, took a sip of rum, and said clearly: "Next winter won't be so cold. I won’t survive the next Far West Cold Snap either.”
"Okay." Zhou Jue shrugged and stopped talking.
He also asked Jerk and Dean Anlai if they wanted to awaken Nen.
After learning of the dangers, Jerke refused, as did Dean Anlai.
Both of them are very sensible and do not think they can survive after opening the Aura Nodes.
"You should drink less. Don't be so drunk that you can't even hold your chopsticks while eating." Zhou Jue said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"How can it be!"
Jerk slapped his chest hard and said wildly: "I am a man who can drink wine as water!"
Tun Tun Tun!
As he spoke, he drank a bottle of rum in his hand.
"look!"
Jerke proudly turned the empty wine bottle over and showed it off to Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue was speechless and refused to respond.
But Jerke suddenly froze, and the originally smug look disappeared from his face when he saw Zhou Jue for the first time.
He looked at Zhou Jue's back in surprise.
A feeling of inaccessibility came to my mind.
It seemed that this young man was out of tune with his surroundings, repelling everyone's approach.
"what happened?"
Jerke rubbed his face vigorously and was mostly awake from the wine.
He left the recliner, walked into the kitchen, and looked at Zhou Jue up close.
Seeing it up close, Jerke was even more shocked.
He actually saw deep indifference and alienation from Zhou Jue, as if this young man did not belong here at all and had no connection with this town.
"Boy, what's the matter with you?" Jerke frowned and asked directly.
Zhou Jue did not answer directly, but said: "I'm leaving."
"So anxious?" Jerke frowned deeper, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and asked in confusion: "It's still winter, the snow has blocked the roads, why don't we wait until spring?"
"The time has come." Zhou Jue shook his head.
"You..." Jerke hesitated.
He wanted to persuade, but Zhou Jue's alienated temperament prevented him from speaking.
