JOJO hiding in the hunter world

This is a choice: either let everyone understand the terror of the youkai, leading to the collapse of society and the economy, or deprive everyone of their right to know and let fewer people die.

Even if the danger level of the youkai is raised, in the end, only the rich will be able to escape.

Ordinary people without sufficient financial resources can only wait for death in fear, and fear is the food of many youkai.

It's just like the old woman blocking the road in Gon's Hunter Exam; there's no standard answer.

The Sakura Country is not an economic power; it is only a country with a slowly recovering economy and cannot withstand any setbacks...

National strength is a limitation. If it were one of the V5 countries, they would have the courage and strength to cut off a limb to save the body, but the Sakura Country can't.

With the currently equipped combat squads in the Sakura Country, without being stingy with sacrifices, they can almost cope with this level of youkai.

This kind of youkai is considered to be the top of the line among the youkai that have appeared so far, which means they are not very common.

With the strength of the combat squads, they can almost solve those most numerous ordinary youkai, but once this level of youkai appears, many people will inevitably die.

If it weren't for Jon, that Red Ogre from last night could have killed everyone present, including Yamanaka Shuuichi.

Yamanaka Shuuichi's Nen ability is more inclined towards support, [Firefly Light], and he was honest with Jon from the beginning. (Of course, this was for Jon's benefit; it is unknown if he has any hidden cards.)

"Is this the only way? Should I give up?" Jon sighed.

Ding, ding, a message was sent; it was a brief message from the Chairman.

"There's no need to hang up the phone so directly; that's too heartless ㅍ_ㅍ, but based on my experience and the situation in the Sakura Country, what he said is the truth.

If the danger level is set too high, the Sakura Country's fragile national structure and society will definitely collapse. But if you speak out and can save a group of people, the decision is up to you."

Netero was giving him a difficult problem, but Jon didn't want to bother with him.

He was just an outsider, not even a citizen of the Sakura Country, and had no right or reason to interfere in this matter, let alone make choices for them.

Jon inexplicably recalled his childhood memories and suddenly understood the feelings of the Ultra-Ancient Tiga, who 'did not interfere with humanity's own decisions'.

In layman's terms, it's: Don't do things that make you an enemy to everyone.

"What's your decision?" Yamanaka Shuuichi looked at Jon expectantly.

Honestly, if Jon insisted on reporting it, he wouldn't be able to do anything. In terms of rank, Jon was higher than him, and in terms of strength, it goes without saying.

"I understand; I'll leave..." Jon urged Yamanaka Shuuichi to leave quickly.

Yamanaka Shuuichi, of course, also noticed Jon's impatience.

"You misunderstand."

"Mr. Kuujou Joutarou, I have a question. You are a professional criminal hunter, right? Why, why did you come here to investigate youkai?"

How could a criminal hunter catching phantom beasts make sense? The professional gap is too big.

"Or rather, what kind of mission did the Hunter Association assign you in the first place?"

Looking at Jon's half-baked knowledge of youkai legends, Yamanaka Shuuichi was sure that Jon had never deeply understood the relevant knowledge.

In some aspects, he was not even as good as the urban paranormal gossip bloggers.

With the rigor of a professional one-star Hunter, one would generally prepare before doing anything. Only a novice Hunter would have Jon's headstrong style.

A Hunter's appearance cannot be trusted at all. Many Hunters can maintain their youthful appearance after cultivating Nen to a certain level.

He didn't know Jon's exact age at all. As for him saying he was seventeen, Yamanaka Shuuichi naturally didn't believe it.

He had wanted to check Jon's resume before, but his permission level was not high enough. All he saw was a blank space. (The previous prison operation to kill Edward was a government cover-up, and only a very few people knew about it.)

Yamanaka Shuuichi guessed that Jon was very likely a temporary thug sent by the Hunter Association...

Jon was silent for a while and thought, 'Anyway, there's nothing wrong with saying it,' and replied.

"I was seriously injured in a battle before, and I lost my left hand at that time. I have less than ten years to live, and I want to find mermaid flesh to see if I can extend my life..."

Unable to judge the truth, Yamanaka Shuuichi's half-baked psychology knowledge couldn't analyze Jon's expression.

"Since I can't get mermaid flesh, I can only ask the Chairman to look for other ways..."

Jon's tone was very calm. This indifferent tone towards life and death made Yamanaka Shuuichi feel respect and was even more surprised by his courage to give up the opportunity to save his own life.

Jon also felt that Yamanaka Shuuichi's gaze seemed to have changed.

"Mr. Joutarou, are you not in a hurry to leave? There is one more thing I need to inform you about. Squad Leader Hasegawa called me earlier and invited us to observe their battle to eliminate youkai again..."

Jon immediately understood that this was Squad Leader Hasegawa, no, it should be said that the Sakura Country government was eager to show off their strength to Jon.

Of course, this was not just for Jon's benefit. They wanted the Hunter Association behind Jon to know that the Sakura Country could solve the youkai on their own—using scientific methods.

"They found the hiding place of the Red Ogre?" Jon was surprised, not expecting the Sakura Country government to be so efficient.

"No, it should be other youkai."

When using the ability, he can release hundreds of thousands of fireflies that can be scattered around the world.

The range of the ability is enough to cover the entire Kyoto, and the detection of these fireflies is very large. Even Yamanaka Shuuichi is not clear about the limit of this ability.

His Nen limits the number of fireflies; otherwise, the range of the ability could very likely become even larger.

Before the [Firefly Light] ability is activated, the appearance of the target to be detected must first be determined in the mind, which means that it must be a person who has been seen with one's own eyes; a photo will not work.

After determining the target, the fireflies can be scattered. Yamanaka Shuuichi's Nen limit is to release more than 300,000 fireflies.

Even if the detected person is encountered, it is not over yet. Then the detected person must see the firefly ability before it can be activated, which means that blind people are naturally immune to this move.

Once activated, then the detected person will be marked, and all the fireflies will fly in that direction.

Although Firefly Light has no combat power, it is useless to pinch the fireflies to death. This means that once you see the fireflies, unless you kill Yamanaka Shuuichi or commit suicide, you will never be able to get rid of them.

It can also be used during the day, but the effect is far less than at night.

This is the ability that Yamanaka Shuuichi revealed to Jon. As for whether there are other hidden abilities, it is not yet clear.

Yamanaka Shuuichi looked at Jon deeply. "The Hundred-Eyed Demon from yesterday was marked by me, but it is not advisable to startle the snake."

The situation of the Red Ogre and the Hundred-Eyed Demon being together is too troublesome. If it were a single one, a special plan could be formulated, but dealing with two youkai together greatly increases the difficulty.

"I told Hasegawa Taiichi about this. He said that he has already notified the logistics team to transfer the nearby residents out and then bomb that place.

But..."

"I know that both the Hundred-Eyed Demon and the Red Ogre are getting stronger. The last time we saw the Hundred-Eyed Demon, she already had more than seventy eyes on her body. If she gathers a hundred eyes, I'm afraid she will be impossible to deal with."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon can become stronger by taking eyes. Legend has it that the Hundred-Eyed Demon, who has gathered a hundred eyes, will become a terrifying Great Demon.

"Go and tell Police Inspector Kihara: ten million, and I'll take care of this matter for him."

Yamanaka Shuuichi was stunned and a little strange, then smiled and responded: "I understand; thank you for the combat squad."

Yamanaka Shuuichi understood that Jon was giving him a way out. Enemies of this level might not be enough even with fifty billion.

Moreover, killing these two youkai will inevitably kill many ordinary people, soldiers, and police.

This commission was just an excuse for Jon to help the Sakura Country government.
