Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 183 The Call of the Lost Thing

There are many types of hunter professions, which can be said to be varied.

There are some strange professions among them, such as the so-called cute hunter.

Just looking at this occupational prefix, it is difficult to imagine what exactly it does.

In comparison, the scavenger hunt mentioned by Kang Jae is much more straightforward.

As the name suggests, it helps people find things.

From small items like contact lenses to big things like missing persons, all are within the scope of the lost property hunter's work.

The scavenger hunt of the association is named Lu Pei Hailanduo.

Kang Zai didn't like this guy very much, but in order to solve the source of the "thoughts after death" as soon as possible, he contacted Lu Pei as soon as possible.

Finally, after agreeing on the price, Lu Pei immediately set off from the Hunter Association Building. It would take about three or four days to reach Haozhu City.

However, the most difficult problem has been solved by Moro, so Kangzai and Nian Ze are not so anxious.

"Lu Pei is a member of the anti-chairman faction. That's why I hate him."

When talking to Moro about why he hated Lu Pei, Kang Zai gave the reason very straightforwardly.

After hearing Kangzai's explanation, Moro showed a surprised look, "There is such a faction in the association?"

"There's nothing strange about this."

Kang Zai curled his lips, "The association itself is a rare platform and springboard. Many professional hunters want to use this springboard to go further, so they are keen on making small moves and pulling, pulling... um, how do you say that word?"

"Hand-Pulled Noodle."

Moreau made up something.

"Pfft, cough cough..."

Nian Ze, who was drinking tea next to him, was choked and started coughing softly.

"(▼ plate ▼#)"

Kang Jae bared his teeth and said angrily, "How can it be ramen!"

"Isn't it ramen?"

Morrow smiled and said, "Then I guess what you want to say is forming a gang."

"Yes, that's the word!"

Kangzai glared at Moro and said unhappily, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"So, the Guildmaster Faction is a small group with different philosophies from President Netero?"

In response to Kangzai's questioning, Moro directly brought the topic back on track.

Kang Zai nodded and said, "That's right. These idiots have always thought highly of themselves. They actually think that President Netero's ideas are out of date. Although there are some hawks with more radical ideas among the Twelve Earthly Branches, at least they are not that arrogant."

"Oh."

Moreau was thoughtful.

After hearing what Kang Zai said, he had some impression, and some vague memories gradually became clear.

Indeed, in addition to the factions of the Twelve Earthly Branches, there are other factions in the Hunter Association.

When it comes to the anti-President faction, the image of the "Revival Trio" immediately emerges in Moro's mind.

Um, I forgot the name.

I only remember that this trio shouted the slogan of reviving the "Glory of the Seirin Team" in the election arc, and then were easily dealt with by Hisoka.

Although Morrow had forgotten the names of the trio, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a two-star member among them.

However, star ratings are more about measuring contributions to one’s field rather than one’s strength.

Therefore, it is obviously meaningless to judge strength by star rating.

"The scavenger hunter Lu Pei, now I remember, is one of the three."

Moreau thought to himself.

Kang Zai looked at Moro who was thinking and said, "When Lu Pei comes, he will most likely be impressed by your abilities and try his best to invite you to join them."

"How could that be? I'm not a professional hunter."

Moreau shook his head.

Kang Jae said: "With your ability, as long as you take the hunter test, you will definitely get a hunter license. Besides, you have been "borrowing" my hunter license several times. I don't believe that you don't want to take one yourself. It's only a matter of time."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Moro looked at Kang Zai in surprise.

"?"

Kang Jae frowned, “What does your reaction mean?”

"nothing."

Moreau smiled and said, "Anyway, I have no interest in factions and power struggles."

"Yeah, I can see that."

Kang Jae nodded, then sighed, "If you become a member of the association, you will definitely get along well with President Netero."

"Why do you say that?"

Morrow asked curiously.

"Because of your strength."

Kang Jae's eyes suddenly became serious.
"In less than half a year, your progress is too fast. So I have reason to believe that you, like President Netero, are pure martial arts lunatics who are focused on becoming stronger."

After not seeing each other for a few months, Kangzai was shocked not only by the powerful mind-eliminating ability that Moro displayed, but also by the changes in his strength.

to be honest--

He felt that Moro's growth rate was simply unscientific.

In response to Kangzai's words, Moro just smiled and did not respond.

A few days later, Lu Pei finally arrived.

When he arrived, Moreau happened to be helping a newly emerged "recipient" to remove the thoughts of death.

No one knows what the third princess Eve did, but in this city, there are always people who are inexplicably possessed by thoughts of death.

Because Nian Ze has a reputation for taking in "patients", those who mistakenly think they are infected with the disease will come to the temple to seek Nian Ze's help.

This invisibly saves the trouble of finding those who are being reminded.

However, Nian Ze did not go out of his way to conceal his act of sheltering the victims.

Therefore, the third princess is most likely aware of the situation, but has not made any move so far.

Maybe she doesn't care about such things at all.

Led by a young monk, Lu Pei stood outside the door, quietly watching Moro help a person get rid of the thoughts of death.

"A mind purifier who can purify thoughts of the afterlife...!"

Seeing Moro's ability to eliminate thoughts, Lu Pei's eyes behind the lenses flashed with a gleam of light.

This is a rare talent.

In the spacious hall, Kang Zai and Nian Ze both noticed Lu Pei's arrival.

Moro also looked at Lu Pei.

It was pretty much the same impression he recalled, a black man wearing glasses.

His eyes inadvertently swept across the other person's left hand, and he could clearly feel that the mental energy there was stronger than other parts.

Materialization system?

Just by the slight difference in the energy on Lu Pei's left hand, Moro came to a basic conclusion.

Lu Pei didn't notice Moro's gaze, and slowly suppressed the urge to talk to Moro, and turned his gaze to Kang Zai.

Professional hunters usually put commissions first, and Lu Pei is no exception.

"Mr. Kangzai, should the search be started immediately, or should we proceed according to your arrangement?"

"Right away." Kang Jae said calmly.

Lu Pei had no objection and nodded slowly.

ten minutes later.

Several people gathered in the Zen room.

In front of Moro, Kang Zai and Nian Ze, Lu Pei directly used his Nen ability.

"The Call of Lost Things"

The energy in Lu Pei's left hand surged, condensing into a slightly bloated palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This palm is larger than normal, and when viewed from the wrist, it is hollow, more like a strange glove.

"This is my ability, the calling of lost things."

Lu Pei gently held the hand that seemed to be made of silicone and explained:
"Before activating the ability to find objects, the finder needs to wear this palm and draw a picture of what he wants to find. It doesn't need to be drawn exactly, but he must have the emotion of 'I want to find it', so that he can establish a connection with the 'lost object'."

After explaining the conditions for activating the ability, Lu Pei immediately looked at Kang Zai.

Kang Zai looked at Moro and gave him a reassuring look.

Moro received Kangzai's eye signal and took the initiative to say, "Let me draw it."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the palm that Lu Pei materialized.

If this palm can really find objects accurately, it would undoubtedly be extremely convenient.

Moreover, this person is probably not a martial artist. The mental ability he developed is purely to serve his own profession and has no combat power at all.

Revealing the information about his abilities so easily probably reflects the idea that he doesn't need to fight.

Moro took the hand from Lu Pei.

The touch felt just like a real hand, except it was icy cold, as if one was touching the hand of a corpse.

Lu Pei said, "Put it on and draw."

Upon hearing this, Morrow reached his hand in.

This finding-things hand is a size larger than normal, and I thought it would appear loose, but I did not expect that after putting it on, it would fit tightly like a layer of skin and fit perfectly.

"This ability should have the characteristics of both materialization and manipulation..."

While Moro was thinking, he picked up a pen and, according to Lu Pei's instructions, sketched the appearance of the harp in his mind and slowly drew the outline.

A few minutes later.

A harp with a rough outline appeared on the drawing paper.

At this moment, the hand in Moro's hand that was searching for the object suddenly showed bright mental power and flew away on its own and landed next to the drawing paper.

"Oh, oh!"

The palm was raised upwards, and a mouth appeared in the palm, from which came a slightly sharp male voice.

"I smell, um, quite a strong odor."

The sound of his palm revealed a hint of excitement, and he immediately laid directly on the pattern on the drawing paper, rubbing it back and forth vigorously for a few times, then opened his mouth in the palm of his hand and nibbled on the drawing paper bit by bit.

Lu Pei gently pushed the frame with his palm and said calmly, "I didn't expect it to be successful in one try."

Kang Zai glanced at him in disbelief when he heard this and asked, "How can it fail under these conditions?"

Lu Pei calmly explained: "Probability is part of the constraint, but it ultimately depends on whether the finder really wants to find the lost item. If they can't establish an emotional connection with the lost item through my ability, then even if they can't find it, it's not my fault."

"In other words, as long as we establish contact, we will definitely be able to find it, right?"

That’s all Kang Jae cares about.

Lu Pei shook his head and explained, "Even if a connection is established with the lost object, if the emotion is not strong enough, it may affect the sense of direction of the finder's hand. So, as I said just now, whether the lost object can be found depends on the sincerity of the finder."

"what?"

Kangzai's mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but complain, "The final right of interpretation belongs to you, right?"

Lu Pei stopped talking.

If his abilities were not subject to these constraints, he would not be able to create the ability to find objects with precision.

Furthermore, if there weren't such restrictions that would affect his success rate, he would have already become a three-star item finder with outstanding achievements by virtue of his abilities.

Instead of not even getting one star until now.

While observing the actions of the Searching Hand, Moro listened to the conversation between Kang Jae and Lu Pei.

In his opinion, although Lu Pei's lost property call has many limitations, it covers a wide range and can ensure the accuracy of finding objects, so it can be considered a very rare ability.

Moreau suddenly thought of the parchment that he found in Nolan's safe and that looked like a treasure map.

The piece of parchment only had some mountains, forests and rivers drawn in simple strokes, with no accompanying text description, let alone any so-called coordinates.

I don’t know if Lu Pei’s lost and found call can find the location of the parchment.

While Moreau was thinking, the searching hand had already eaten up the entire drawing.

"Oh, oh!"

The hand that was looking for someone stretched out a strange ending tone, and then shouted: "I feel it, it's in that direction!"

It uses the thumb and little finger as footholds to support the entire palm, and then the raised middle finger points in a direction.

Lu Pei exclaimed in surprise, "This is the first time I've heard the voice of the Finding Hand be so loud. It seems that there is basically no problem."

Judging the accuracy of finding something based on the loudness of the sound?
Kangzai was too exhausted to complain.

Moro sensed something in Lu Pei's words and asked, "When it's guiding the direction, it won't keep yelling like it is doing now, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Pei nodded.

Moreau remained silent.

The so-called connection through emotion is because he directly extracts the memory fragments carrying emotions from the dead thoughts, so he can easily meet the conditions for activating this ability.

I just didn't expect that in addition to these restrictions, the Hand of Searching has a setting that is almost like a mind beast, and comes with a loud voice.

He always felt that even if the Searching Hand did not make any sound, it would not affect the overall framework of the ability at all.

Unless it is influenced by the personality of the person with the ability, it subtly gives the ability some unnecessary characteristics.

Moro even thought that if Lu Pei was killed by Hisoka like in the original work, and his abilities were preserved in the form of thoughts after death, he might be able to overcome these limitations and move towards perfection.

Because in a sense, once the thought of after death is formed, it also means that some unnecessary characteristics will be eliminated.

After meeting the conditions for activating the "Call of the Lost Object", Moro and his party immediately set off with the Hand of Finding, while Nian Ze stayed in the temple.

"Over there, I feel it...it's waiting for me!"

"It's almost there, it's almost there, it turns out it's so close to me!"

Lu Pei wore the hand of finding things on his hand. He used his middle finger to guide the direction while making a strong voice.

Moro and Kangzai both agreed that this thing was too noisy, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The three of them came all the way to the outside of Haozhu City, and under the guidance of the Hand of Seeking, they walked straight in one direction.

"This direction..."

Kang Jae raised his brows, realizing something.

Moreau tilted his head and glanced at him.

Kang Zai said uncertainly, "That thing, could it be in the royal tomb of Gu Ganyu?"

"The Royal Tomb?"

Moro suddenly reacted.

By the way, ancient Ganyu is different from other V5 powers, and it is not surprising that there are royal tombs left.

"If it's really in the royal mausoleum, it will be troublesome."

Kangzai's brows furrowed.

The tombs of the royal family members of a superpower, even if it is just the resting place of a princess, are not accessible to outsiders.
