Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 356 Resurrection
What exactly happened on Moro's side?

Kurt knew nothing about this.

While the changes in the "Life Paper Doll" could lead to the conclusion that Moro's body was recovering, it still couldn't dispel the worries in his heart.

To confirm this matter, all talk of family responsibility and obedience was disregarded...

Kurt completely forgot about them.

Kiju stared blankly at Kurt, and for a moment he saw Killua's shadow.

why?
They had clearly learned their lesson and changed their teaching methods.

But why... why did it turn out like this?

"Kurt, how dare you talk to your mother like that!?"

Kiju's red electronic eye rapidly contracted and expanded, then suddenly increased its volume to an extremely sharp level.

At the same time, due to the intense fluctuations in her emotions, her body involuntarily generated spiritual energy, exuding a parental sense of authority and an authoritarian aura.

However, Kurt merely raised his eyelids slightly and walked past his mother without the slightest hesitation.

Kikyo stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Kurt walked right past him.

"Kurt!!!"

With a scream, her hand, painted with bright red nails, lashed out with a sharp gust of wind towards Kurt's shoulder.

Her emotions, which were almost out of control, caused her to exert no restraint in her grip.

Kurt suddenly turned his head, and with just one glance, he could judge the force of Kikyo's outstretched hand, but he did not dodge or avoid it, only his eyes were filled with a cold light.

Upon seeing Kurt's gaze, Kijuh's spirit seemed to tremble violently for a moment.

so similar.

That defiant look in his eyes...

Kijuh's electronic eye shrank to the size of a pinpoint, abruptly halting the force of his outstretched hand.

The long, slender hand with bright red nails froze in front of Kurt, then, as if it had lost all its strength, it fell limply to its side, swinging back and forth.

Seeing Kikyo's distraught reaction, Kurt's eyes flashed with a hint of pity, but it was quickly replaced by determination as he ran toward the mansion gate.

In the candlelit corridor, soon only Kikko's lonely figure remained.

after one day.

Above the clouds, the airship moved forward at a constant speed.

Inside the VIP cabin.

Kurt looked down at the paper life figure in his hand.

The previously menacing wrinkles have been significantly improved.

However, the wrinkles are not smoothed out very quickly, and every now and then, the process suddenly stops.

It takes four or five hours for the smoothing effect of the treatment to become apparent.

"Is Kurapika healing Moro...?"

After observing all day, this was the only possibility that Kurt could think of.

Kurapika's healing abilities, his Kurta clan identity, and even the mental and physical burden he bears when using his abilities.

Kurt was one of the people who knew about this information.

Therefore, not long after noticing the smoothing of the wrinkles, the image of Kurapika immediately came to Kal'ts' mind.

"Still can't get through."

Kal't tried to contact Kurapika, but the phone was still switched off.

The same applies to Moro's number.

“Why turn it off?”

Kurt gripped his phone tightly, completely baffled.

If Moro is able to receive stable treatment, it means that the environment is at least safe.

In that case, there's absolutely no need to turn it off.

Are they trying to evade pursuit?

Lacking basic information, Kalluto couldn't deduce a specific reason, so he could only use the communication software developed by the Hunter Association to leave encrypted messages for Morrow and Kurapika's numbers.

Since we can't get in touch with them, we can only hope that they see the message and reply as soon as possible.

the next day.

Following the direction indicated by the paper figure of life, the airship continued to fly at a constant speed.

Inside the capsule, Kurt remained highly attentive to the changes in the life paper figure.

As observed on the first day, the smoothing of wrinkles occurred intermittently.

The good news is that the wrinkles on the Life Paper Man's torso have been completely smoothed out, indicating that Moreau's vital signs have stabilized completely.

Although there were intervals between treatments, the process has been stable.

This will put Kurt's mind at ease.

Even now, I still can't get through to Moro and Kurapika's numbers, and the messages I sent seem to disappear into thin air, with no response ever coming.

The third day, the fourth day...

The smoothing of wrinkles on the Life Paper Doll seems to be concentrated all over its left arm.

Kurt noticed that in just over an hour, the wrinkles on his entire left arm had been smoothed out.

However, after that, it took more than ten hours before the wrinkles, which indicated that the treatment was in progress, finally began to show again.

On the fifth day.

Kurt disembarked from the airship.

The wrinkles on the life paper figure have been smoothed out again, and there has been a significant change.

The frequency of treatments has increased significantly.

Or rather, the rest intervals have become shorter, to less than an hour.

Basically, every hour or so, you can see the wrinkles gradually being smoothed out.

This means that Kurapika, who can heal Moro, only needs to rest for an hour each time before he can continue treating him.

Kurt couldn't be sure what had happened on Morrow's side, but seeing the Life Paper Man's condition rapidly improving was good news nonetheless.

Still no reply.

I sent a message a few days ago, but I still haven't received a reply.

Left with no other option, Kurt had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​contacting Morrow by phone, and instead turned off his phone and deposited it in a nearby bank.

The main reason for doing this is to prevent the family from using subsequent tracking and location methods.

Anyway, the paper effigy is there to guide us...

In terms of its utility, it's much better than a mobile phone.

After saving his phone, Kurt immediately followed the signs to Morrow's location.

They continued their journey until late at night.

The life paper doll's guiding ability suddenly failed, as if its signal had been cut off.

This usually means that the target that the life paper figure is pointing to has lost its vitality.

When Kurt realized it, he was first startled as if by reflex, and then he understood what was going on.

The ability to block the Life Paper Doll's effects extends beyond the target's death; it also includes the sealing of the Nen space and the target's entry into places like secret realms.

When Moro and I first went to the Secret Realm, we specifically tested the Secret Realm's effect on the Life Paper Doll's isolation.

Therefore, Kurt immediately thought of the possibility that Morrow had entered the secret realm.

Once he reached a conclusion, even without the guidance of the Life Paper Man, Kurt was able to determine the direction.

"The entrance to the secret realm is at the Death Eye Sinkhole in Petrus, located in the southern Demon Realm of the Eurubian Continent. That's right... the direction is correct."

Kurt's spirits lifted, and he quickened his pace.

.....................

When Moreau regained consciousness, all he saw was an endless expanse of pure white.

He could feel himself floating in this vast white space, unable to distinguish up from down from left from right. And no matter which direction he looked, his vision was always filled with an endless white void.

He has been here.

This is his conscious space.

Moro instinctively looked down, but could not see his hands or torso.

When I came to my senses, I realized that I couldn't even feel my body's existence; it was as if all that remained were a pair of eyes for observation.

"It seems I'm still alive. This is the place... It feels different from before. It's like something's missing, but I can't remember what it is."

Moro remained calm about the current situation.

Like the situation where they faced off against Yang De and Alita before.

One was around level 85, and the other was around level 95; and they came prepared...

It was the best possible outcome that we didn't die at their hands.

If death nodes are generated on them, even if an ability can be recorded after backtracking, it would be difficult to break through death nodes of this level within a limited time.

It's fair to say that the chances of failure are very high.

And the result of failure is also death.

However, compared to Yang De's mysterious abilities...

Moro was quite envious.

If the tree rings could be recorded and improved, it would likely become his most powerful ability to date.

There is even a very high probability that it can be directly integrated into the Flying Star system.

However, considering the risks involved, Moro chose to remain rational.

"As long as I don't die at the hands of Byangde, losing my left arm and both legs is nothing. I can find a subject to rewind and solve this problem. However, it would be best if it were an ability user, such as the Owl among the Shadow Beasts, so that I can record at least one more highly practical ability."

Morrow pondered a suitable object to backtrack to.

Because he had a chance to rewind, Morrow focused entirely on disengaging from the fight when facing the relentless attacks of Byrond and Alita, completely disregarding the consequences of his injuries.

despite this--

By Yang De’s rich experience and grasp of timing in coordinated operations can be described as precise and ruthless.

On the surface, he relied on Alita's close-range attacks to create opportunities for surprise attacks, but in a subtle way, he seemed to be using Alita as bait.

Therefore, when the golden chains appeared on Alita, it was possible to premeditatedly use Alita to obscure her senses and vision, thus enabling a swift and decisive sneak attack.

At that moment, the speed at which the starlight was gathered and condensed was not slow, but it still couldn't outpace Yang De's premeditated sneak attack.

As a result, they were unable to build a complete Nen defense in time, which meant that even if they managed to hold out until the Flash Strike cooldown was over, they were still in grave danger.

However, judging from Bynd's tactical decisions, one can glimpse certain traits in his personality.

Cold-blooded, ruthless...

They also possess a ruthless determination to achieve their goals by any means necessary.

of course.

Moro did not rule out the possibility that Bynd had already obtained information about his abilities when he caught up with him, so he was not worried about the second stage of the Starburst Condensation ability at all.

In any case, with our current strength, it's difficult to fight against an enemy of this level.

If Moro remembers correctly, Byron launched his challenge against the Dark Continent fifty years ago.

Although it failed...

However, in order to be able to challenge the Dark Continent again, Moro couldn't even imagine how much effort and energy BYYANGD had devoted to increasing his strength over the past fifty years.

Putting everything else aside, the scale of his displayed charisma already surpasses that of Nitero.

This is something that can't be helped.

After all, Niterlo's true peak was fifty years ago.

Fifty years later, I am now an "old man".

That being said, Moro still believes that Nitro can defeat Byand in a head-on confrontation.

After all, Netero's skill was undoubtedly the pinnacle of human achievement.

At least within the human framework, it is an invincible ability.

This also means—

If Morrow wants to defeat Byander in a head-on confrontation, he'd need to reach Netero's skill level, or level up another 20 levels...

It's hard.

Moro stopped his wandering thoughts and shifted his focus back to the object of his reflection.

The one I'm currently most interested in, after much thought, is still Xiao's "Convenient Big Wrap" – its ability to materialize the power of rules.

If we're talking about capabilities that are even more practical and valuable, then it has to be Nob's "Four-Dimensional Apartment".

However, he was not like Yang De, so naturally he would not lay a hand on Norb.

Furthermore, he needs Kurapika's assistance; a Devil Fruit user of Owl's caliber would make it easier to succeed.

"Let's tentatively name it Owl from the Yin Beasts."

Moro stopped thinking about this and turned to observe the white, boundless space of consciousness once more.

What exactly is missing...?

It was as if he had lost some memories; he could only carefully experience the differences he was feeling now, trying to find some key information from them.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Moro thought of the negative memories he had suppressed deep in his consciousness.

There's a materialization ability memory left behind by Orion, based on the principle of schizophrenia, and there's also an ability memory left behind by Chrollo, related to the Thief's Ultimate...

Moro can absorb death thoughts, but he cannot completely purify these double-edged sword memories.

All we can do is suppress them deep within our consciousness.

Most of the time, as long as your mental state is normal, you don't need to worry about these memories having any impact.

now--

They seem to have disappeared?
Moro finally remembered and looked down again.

All I could see was a vast expanse of white, seemingly without end.

"The black water has disappeared..."

Moro remembered that this space of consciousness originally contained an endless expanse of black water.

The negative energy and memories that he absorbed from the death thoughts were usually suppressed beneath the black water.

But the black water surface disappeared, along with Orion and Kuroro's negative memories, which vanished into thin air.

Realizing this, Moro was surprised to find that the faint feeling of heaviness he had felt while stepping on the black water was gone, replaced by a sense of lightness.

"Strange, how did they suddenly disappear?"

Moro was somewhat puzzled.

But this is ultimately a good thing.

After all, he will need to absorb more thoughts of the dead in the future, and there is no guarantee that there will eventually be an upper limit to the amount of negative memories he can contain.

Clearing them out now is entirely beneficial.

………………

In the hidden realm of the Floating Gyro Mountain.

Inside the stone house on the mountaintop.

Moro lay on the stone bed with his eyes closed.

next to.

Kurapika's eyes gleamed with a dim red light, and chains extending from his fingers wrapped around Moro's left thigh, radiating a rich green psychic glow.

Beside the stone house door.

Bisky leaned against the doorframe, glanced at Moro on the bed whose left leg had not yet healed, and then at Kurapika, whose body was extremely exhausted but whose will was incredibly strong.

Her expression was slightly complicated.
