Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 36: Nowhere to Go
There was a man hiding in the shadows of the passengers.

It may sound incredible, but the ability of telekinesis makes this possible.

Kang Jae has a sharp eye that can see through Morrow’s disguise, but he can’t spot the person hiding in the shadows.

This is not an oversight.

Rather, this ability can avoid detection from "Condensation".

The Nen user hiding in the passenger's shadow is none other than Shikahara from Ryuo Country.

According to the original plan, after obtaining the famous sword Mori Ra, he should have returned home with his companions.

However, the leader gave him a task:
Find out the reason and method of the disappearance of Senluo Nian Qi.

So he set his sights on Moreau, and finally waited for a closed environment suitable for action.

"Shadows Have No Place to Go"

This is Shikahara's secret technique.

In fact, it is the ability of mind, but the Ryuo Country calls special abilities secret techniques or ninjutsu.

The effect of the ability of Shadow Nowhere is that Shikahara can freely move through the shadows of mindless humans within a "certain range".

The numerical limitation of this range refers more to volume.

The volume of the entire airship is just within the range where Lu Yuan can use his shadow-piercing ability.

In addition to the ability to pass through shadows, Lu Yuan has another ability that tends to be more operational.

After he gets into the target's shadow, as long as he meets the "invasion time target" condition, he can gain control of the target, thus realizing "two" operating methods.

One is to hide directly in the target's shadow and control the target by soul invasion, or it should be said that the target's body is occupied.

The other is to take away the target's shadow, turning it into a humanoid puppet that acts according to instructions.

Now, Lu Yuan hid in the shadows of the passengers and was not in a hurry to take action.

It will take three days for the airship to reach the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

Although the airship will land to refuel, passengers are not allowed to disembark during the entire refueling process.

In other words, Lu Yuan has three days to complete the task.

If he had enough time, he could invade the shadows of more passengers first and quietly develop a group of puppets.

This is also the fundamental reason why he waited for this enclosed space.

This allows him to collect puppets with peace of mind without having to worry about Moro leaving halfway.

In a sticky, dark shadow space.

Shikahara's body was frozen in the scene, his face expressionless, patiently waiting for the right moment.

…………

Inside a VIP cabin.

Kang Jae stood guard at the door and answered the question of the sturdy female bodyguard: "That boy is a Nen user, and he used disguise."

"Um!?"

The female bodyguard's name was Talia, and her eyes narrowed when she heard that.

It was under Kang Jae's influence that she felt that there might be something wrong with Moro, but she failed to see through Moro's disguise.

Kang Jae crossed his arms, his face calm, "I don't sense any bad intentions, but I can't let my guard down. Among all the passengers, he's the only one who has the ability to read Nen, so it's always better to be cautious."

"..."

Talia looked at Kangzai, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Sitting on the sofa in the cabin, the woman who had taken off her mask and sunglasses glanced over lightly.

"how?"

Kang Jae raised an eyebrow, looking at the female bodyguard's reaction in surprise.

Taliyah hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not speak to correct Kangzai's incorrect use of the idiom. She just shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Kang Zai suddenly felt puzzled.

This professional hunter, who is extremely sensitive to "potential threats", seems to be abnormally slow only in arithmetic and language.

Without paying much attention to Talia's strange reaction, Kangzai turned his gaze and looked at his employer with long, silky silver hair sitting on the sofa.

The employer was the daughter of the royal family of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

At first, Kang Jae didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting this escort commission.

He had also accepted similar commissions to protect princes and nobles, but usually they were just escorts from one country to another.

The biggest risk during this period is nothing more than being attacked by another Nen user. But this time it was completely different.

If Kangzai had known that this escort commission would be involved in something as messy as the royal power struggle, he would never have accepted it even if President Netero personally assigned him the commission.

He was most troubled by this kind of complicated power struggle...

But since he has already accepted the commission, out of professional ethics, even if he resists, he has to treat the commission with 100% professionalism.

Fortunately, this female employer is very normal and has basically no bad habits such as arrogance. She is even able to recognize the current situation and has been very cooperative along the way.

only……

The female employer was as calm as a robot when faced with the attack.

The various dangers that came towards her seemed like trivial matters in her eyes.

Kang Jae could sense that there was a contradiction in this female employer.

She seemed to take death "on the road" for granted.

So when facing deadly danger, she had a kind of calmness that was almost indifferent, making it difficult for Kang Zai to see that she had even the slightest will to resist.

But she firmly believed that as long as she could survive to the end, she would be able to make great contributions.

Under this contradiction, some of her will and thoughts are like the perspective of a pure bystander, watching herself walking on a thorny road without getting involved.

After spending some time together, Kangzai felt that this female employer possessed some indescribable qualities.

Whether from a commission perspective or a personal perspective, he hopes that his female employer can survive.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door.

Talia immediately landed in front of the silver-haired woman.

Kang Zai walked to the door and opened it a gap three fingers wide.

Outside the door.

A waiter in work clothes pushed a dining cart and said with a smile: "Hello, the meal is ready for you..."

“Just leave it there.”

Kang Jae said calmly.

Seeing this, the waiter still smiled and said, "Okay, if you need anything else, you can use the phone in the room to contact the front desk."

"know."

Kang Jae looked at the waiter outside the door expressionlessly.

The waiter seemed to be accustomed to the reactions of various guests and left with a smile.

After the waiter left, Kang Jae pushed the dining cart with dinner into the room.

The silver-haired woman turned and sat down at the dining table.

Talia placed the exquisite dinner on the table one by one, then she looked at the silver-haired woman, who nodded slightly.

Talia immediately picked out some of the food and put it into her mouth.

While chewing, her entire mouth was filled with steam-like energy.

"normal."

Swallowing her food, Talia tried the next dish.

"Normal, normal..."

I tried it until the last dish and there were no problems.

But when Talia picked up a flute-shaped cup, she measured a colorless and odorless poison from the rim of the cup.

"has a problem."

Talia put down the flute, her expression normal.

The silver-haired woman saw this and reacted calmly.

Kang Jae glanced at the silver-haired woman and sighed.

Before deciding to board this airship, a lot of smoke bombs were set off.

It was just to conceal the truth, but it was of no use at all.

It really never ends...

Kang Jae raised his hand and pulled at his hedgehog hairstyle.
