I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Ou Si shook his head and sighed, then sat down on the sofa and recounted the events of 10 days ago to Jing Yang and Xiao Di.

--------

Back on Mount Sensui, Kurapika tortured the young painter and retrieved a pair of Scarlet Eyes. At the same time, he also found out the whereabouts of three other pairs of Scarlet Eyes. The identities of the owners of two of the pairs of Scarlet Eyes were relatively clear, so he asked Jingyang and the other person to find one pair, while he was responsible for finding the other two pairs.

The owner of these two pairs of fiery red eyes is clearly an ordinary office worker.

Kurapika didn't spend much time stealing the pair of red eyes hidden in a secret compartment from the other party's house without anyone noticing.

Xiao Ku, who has a strong sense of morality, felt guilty for a long time after his first theft. He often felt extremely depressed and thought he was really going astray.

Having retrieved his companion's eyes, he felt as if he had lost something within himself.

The eyes burning like fire in the solution seemed to be the gaze of a dead comrade fixed upon him...

The most painful thing is not the desire for revenge that cannot be fulfilled, but the possibility that one might waver in one's resolve to seek revenge.

Didn't the book teach us the great truth that wallowing in hatred is pointless, and that living in the present is the only way to honor the dead?

But I should have died with them!

Kurapika's eyes blazed with flames, and after a few seconds of eye contact with the fiery red eyes in the solution, he silently put them away.

However, there is less information about the owner of the remaining pair of red-eyed creatures.

Kurapika spent a lot of time and effort to slowly uncover more clues, eventually locking onto the target—the leader of a new cult.

...Of course, it was impossible for Oushi to know the above process.

He first encountered Kurapika when they were all eyeing the cult leader.

……

"Although I am not a professional bounty hunter, I personally despise such cult leaders who bewitch people and even harm ordinary people, so I took this guy's bounty."

With his hands clasped together, adorned with various rings, Oushi lowered his head and slowly said, "To facilitate infiltration, I pretended to be a believer and infiltrated this small cult organization, which is how I met Kurapika."

“This young man really doesn’t know how to pretend.” Ou Si couldn’t help but laugh. “His eyes are completely different from those of the true believers. When the founder of the church is giving a speech, he always casts a clear-headed and contemptuous look at him, as if he wants to tear the other person to pieces with his eyes.”

Jingyang said, "It's not that he can't act, but that he disdains doing it. If he goes along with the crowd, even if it's just pretending, he'll feel like he's become dirty."

Oushi said, "That's right."

"He's just a cult leader. Kurapika was only trying to find out the Scarlet Eyes hidden by him, so it was fine for him to play along. But you were after the bounty on his head. Now that you've seen him, why didn't you just attack him directly?"

“I think you’ve already guessed the reason.” Oushi sighed. “That’s right, this cult leader is a Nen user.”

He paused, then said bitterly, "Moreover, this guy uses his followers as disposable shields..."

"The initiation ceremony is like a condition for his ability to summon spirits. After becoming a devout believer, they will become his human shield." Jingyang asked, "—Something like that?"

Ousi nodded and said, "He is most likely a pilot."

“I plan to continue observing. As you know, with Manipulation-type Nen abilities, you have to understand the opponent's ability conditions first, otherwise you can easily fall into their trap. Once you fall into their trap, you lose everything, just like his followers.” Ouji smiled wryly. “But Kurapika doesn’t seem to care about that. He seems to be looking for something—well, don’t look at me like that, of course I found out later that he was looking for the Scarlet Eyes. That cult leader has a pair of Scarlet Eyes in his possession.”

Jingyang continued to look at him.

Ousi sighed, "I don't know why, but that cult leader saw through Kurapika's identity in one sentence. I also didn't expect that the Kurta clan, which the whole world thought had been wiped out by the Phantom Troupe, would actually have survivors."

Kurapika wears black contact lenses most of the time when he is out to conceal his fiery red eyes when he is emotional.

How did the cult leader know it through colored contact lenses?

...Is it Nen (energy)?

Jing Yang thought that when Kurapika entered Scarlet Eyes mode, his Nen energy would surge dramatically.

If that so-called patriarch had any knowledge of this characteristic of the Kurta people...

“We were careless. No, I should say, I was careless,” Ou Si said regretfully. “I only thought that guy could use his followers as his human shields. Who knew he could also sacrifice his followers to greatly enhance his Nen ability… especially since he also sacrificed his own life, which increased his Nen ability many times over.”

Even now, Ou Si still feels a chill when he recalls the horrific and bizarre scene.

"I don't know what kind of Nen ability he activated, but these kinds of cult leaders aren't normal people to begin with. After he discovered Kurapika's identity, he became even more insane, constantly muttering things like 'Scarlet Eyes,' 'I didn't expect there were still survivors,' and 'That's great...'"

……

"The Bodhisattva of No Birth, the Thousand-Armed Tathagata!"

"The true Buddha glares angrily, turning the world red with blood!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

With a frenzied shout, the patriarch, who was originally somewhat obese, visibly shrank, while a surge of twisted psychic power, like black fire, erupted from his body!

Like a roar emerging from hell, it swept through the entire venue, ravaging and devouring everything in its path!

"No good, run!" Kurapika shouted, maintaining his "Firmness" and conjuring a dolphin bookshelf with his hand.

A jade Buddha pendant swayed around the neck of the emaciated patriarch, like a singularity, swallowing the surging black psychic power that seemed to erupt from hell.

"The Bodhisattva of No Birth, the Thousand-Armed Tathagata..."

The patriarch's flesh was clinging to his bones, and he no longer resembled a human.

"The true Buddha's wrath rages, blood stains the world..."

The patriarch's flesh and blood burned away, leaving only a faint skeleton, which quickly evaporated amidst the black, fiery energy, accompanied by his eerie laughter.

At the last moment, Kurapika's Nen transformed into a skeleton knight, grabbing Oushi with his large hand and throwing him out. Like a cannonball, Oushi crashed diagonally upwards, piercing through several ceilings, and landed on the ground under the sunlight outside. In comparison, the phone he threw last seemed almost unnoticed, buried in the gaps of the ruins.

The meeting place for the religious group's activities became deserted, with only black human-shaped shadows remaining on the ground and walls, like the residue left after humans evaporated.

"bite"……

The small jade Buddha fell to the ground, and with the last vortex of black fire energy, it also disappeared.

Chapter 163 Induction

After listening to Ousi's account, Jingyang pondered and said, "It seems that this patriarch not only coveted the fiery red eyes of the Kuruta tribe, but also the living Kuruta tribe?"

Could it be that the bloodline of the Kurta clan is truly that of some extraordinary being, possessing something truly special besides the Scarlet Eyes, which are hailed as one of the seven beauties?

“That’s not necessarily true,” Ousi shook his head. “These fanatical wicked people may not even understand the chaotic delusions in their own minds. It’s not necessarily that he set his sights on the Kurta tribe and then encountered Kurapika, which led to his malicious intent. It could also be the other way around. It’s possible that he encountered the Kurta tribe, which should have been extinct, and then something inexplicably touched a nerve in his brain, making him feel that he should seize such a nearly extinct bloodline... After all, the rarer the 'tribute,' the more precious it is. That’s human intuition.”

Jingyang said, "Your prejudice is a bit too strong."

Ousi countered, "Should we have a correct view of him?"

"That's true."

“I’ve been keeping an eye on that cult leader for a long time, so I have more information on him. Why do I call him cult leader instead of his name? He has been the cult leader, cult leader, or leader of more than one organization, and he has used more than one name. There are no fewer than thirty tragedies related to him, each with at least 10 victims, and there is absolutely no connection between them…”

Ou Si sighed, "You can imagine how much damage a Nen user can cause by mixing in with ordinary people, Zhen Yuanzi. Especially since this damned bastard is particularly good at bewitching people."

Jingyang nodded.

"This time, the cult organization he established promotes things like the 'Eternal Avalokitesvara' and the Thousand-Armed Tathagata. He has previously used the names of various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, and sages..."

Ousi said in a deep voice, "These so-called founders who frequently change their identities usually don't believe in this stuff at all, but this founder is different. This time, the Wusheng Cult he established has been operating in secret for an exceptionally long time, longer than any before, which is why I had enough clues to find his location."

"His fanatical and insane demeanor after recognizing Kurapika's identity made me wonder if he had brainwashed so much that he had ruined his own brain."

"That's certainly true!"

Jingyang nodded again, stood up and said, "Alright, we've heard enough of the reminiscences, it's time to get down to business."

Ouji looked at him with a puzzled expression. "The important thing is... to go find Kurapika?"

"What else?" Jing Yang looked at him like he was an idiot, then stretched out his hand to the side, "Give me the picture."

Xiao Di handed him a very large map.

They bought this on their way to Sky Arena this morning.

Ousi leaned closer to look and became even more puzzled; it was just an ordinary map of the continent of Evorica.

"How do we find it? Do you have any ideas?" he asked.

"Hmm. Otherwise, why do you think Kurapika threw his phone out at the end?" Jingyang stretched out his hand. "Where's the phone?"

Ou Si took out a phone with a slightly cracked screen from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Jing Yang.

Jingyang glanced at it and handed it to Xiaodi to put away.

Xiao Di didn't intend to summon the Bulbasaur in front of this person, so she casually placed Kurapika's phone back on the coffee table. The entire 244th floor of the Heaven's Arena was, in principle, for Jing Yang's use, and even if the Heaven's Arena staff saw these personal belongings, they wouldn't easily touch them.

Seeing the hunter staring intently at her, Xiao Di looked over in confusion.

"Aren't we looking for him?" Ou Si wondered. He thought that these two people's Nen abilities had some kind of function of finding people by objects, similar to divination.

Upon hearing this, Jingyang thought to himself that the person in their team who could tell fortunes was none other than Kurapika himself, and that they were looking for him.

Jingyang picked up a pen, located the city where the Sky Arena was situated on the right side of the continent of Evorica on the map, paused there, and then looked up and around...

Seeing this, Ou Si also looked around with a question mark on his head. Soon, Jing Yang confirmed a direction, found the corresponding direction and angle on the map, and then decisively slashed diagonally upwards on the map.

Swish!

A straight black line started from the Sky Arena and stretched all the way to the western part of the northern coast of the continent of Evorica, even extending into the sea further north to the very top of the map, stopping only at the edge of the paper.

"Search along this line."

As Jingyang put on his pen cap, he looked at the map and said, "Xiao Di, buy plane tickets based on the cities along the way, and we'll fly along this route little by little."

"Okay." Xiao Di immediately ran to the computer in the room and started operating it.

After a while, she ran back to check the map to confirm the route. Jingyang was embarrassed and handed her the whole map.

"Are you sure this route is correct?" Ousi asked after looking at it for a while.

“It’s impossible to be 100% certain,” Jingyang said. “But after 10 days, you still have no clue where Kurapika is, right? Then you have no choice but to come with us.”

“Okay, I trust you.” Aussi also ran to buy tickets, following Xiaodi’s lead. She bought two tickets, and he immediately bought one for the same train.

……

Before Ousi arrived at the Sky Arena, Jingyang wasn't entirely focused on his training in his room.

He was intently sensing the "signal" of the star mark on Kurapika's body.

Out of personal habit and respect for his companions, Jingyang never sets any actions for the stars on Xiaoshi and Kurapika under normal circumstances.

If a command that can be executed indefinitely is given to the star mark, such as what Jing Yang did to Wu Er and the previous Yin Beast, the star mark on them will remain in an active state to a certain extent.
