brush!
She flipped her clothes over her shoulder, revealing Machi's body, which had a black spider tattoo with the number "3" on it.
Bab exclaimed in amazement, "You can even change the tattoos on your body?"
As she spoke, she suddenly blew a breath and pointed at "Machi," which was also Spider 4's shadow.
"What are you doing!?" Lie Ying jumped back, and the air at head height where he had just been standing suddenly exploded with a "boom".
Babu said expressionlessly, "I just want to warn you that even if you become me in the future, don't just lift up your clothes randomly."
"Incomprehensible!"
Lieying retorted, "It's just taking off clothes, what's the big deal?"
Bab wasn't looking at him, but rather at what was behind him, further ahead in the direction they had been traveling. "There are people. No, there are corpses."
Lieying frowned and hurried over with Babu.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse lying on the side of the road. Lie Ying recognized the man; he was one of the ten old men in the conference room, I think his name was Brad or something like that.
Bab examined the body.
Preliminary assessment suggests that the cause of death was blood loss after the carotid artery was cut.
There were also cuts on his palms, and next to them was a bloodstained, sharp piece of gravel.
On one side of the body was a pool of dark, congealed blood left from a massive hemorrhage in the neck, while on the other side was a line of text written in blood.
"Want to find treasure? Then go find it! I've left the treasure map here..."
The last stroke of the message was crooked, as if the writer had lost their last bit of strength and couldn't finish writing.
But these two members of the Phantom Troupe have killed so many people, they're so experienced, they can tell at a glance that the last stroke of this message is very powerful, it doesn't seem like the last message from the deceased at all.
"Either someone else wrote it, or this guy wanted to tell a lame joke before he died." Lieying, disguised as Machi, kicked the corpse several meters away with a blank expression. Turning his head, he saw Babu on the phone, saying, "So, Machi, you got your tattoo tattooed on..."
Before Babu could finish speaking, Lieying clearly heard Machi's cold voice coming from the microphone: "Lieying, you've transformed into me again?"
Lieying threw a punch at Babu, but Babu dodged it and threw his phone to him as he did so.
Lieying caught the phone and laughed, "I can't help it, your mind-controlling abilities are just too useful! Plus, your petite figure makes it very convenient to move around..."
“Don’t speak to me in my voice,” March said coldly. “Find another one.”
Lieying rolled his eyes, his body twisting, his spiky pink hair quickly turning black, his height increasing rapidly, an inverted cross tattoo appearing on his forehead, and his voice changing from a clear female voice to a rather magnetic young man's voice as he laughed, "Is this alright now?"
“I will tell Kuroro that you transformed into his without permission,” Machi said indifferently. “You were charged 500 million for transforming into me once, so you now owe me 2500 million. Remember to pay it back in one go next time.”
*Snap!* Machi hung up the phone immediately.
Reikage, dressed as Kuroro, stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes at his phone. He then ran about ten meters away, kicked the corpse into the air, and sent it flying another hundred meters into the wilderness...
The fourth character in the movie is called Menkage, and his ability is Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu). I feel that ability is too far-fetched, and the movie itself wasn't very good either, so they changed it.
Chapter 182 Cone
The ball flew into the sky, traveled forward for about a hundred meters, drew a parabola in mid-air, and fell back down, dissipating before hitting the ground.
The ball landed less than half a meter from Kurapika's head, who was "reading a book".
He was also cultivating, his whole body radiating Nen energy, repeatedly refining the Nen abilities of the six books on his Dolphin Bookshelf.
Kurapika looked up and glanced at it.
Xiao Di sat cross-legged on the grass. It seemed that her cultivation was going very well. She could already transform the outer layer of her mental energy at the position of her hands into chainsaws without hurting herself.
So, it was indeed Jingyang who threw the ball.
He turned his head and saw Jingyang sitting by the stream not far from Xiaodi, unconsciously forming a new Nen ball in his hand, but his expression seemed to be lost in thought...
Actually, Jing Yang's attention was mainly focused on Blatt, who was far away in another city. He controlled "Jing Blatt" to choose an auspicious location, left a bloodstain on the roadside, and wrote, "Want to find treasure? Then go find it! I've left the treasure map here." Tap, successful ending!
He unconsciously formed a ball of energy in his hand, about to casually throw it, when it was swatted back by an invisible skeletal hand.
*Thud!* The ball struck Jingyang's "firmness" and shattered.
Jingyang snapped out of his daze and looked up at Kurapika behind the giant skeletal hand with a puzzled expression.
Kurapika said, "Being distracted during training isn't like you. Is something the matter?"
"I have something to attend to," Jingyang told him to wait a moment.
Jingyang gave instructions to Blatt, who was being controlled by the star, to cut his own carotid artery and, before he died, to remove the star from his palm.
Without the self-healing ability of the starred item, Blatter, with his carotid artery severed, would surely be dead on that suburban roadside.
As for whether his body and his message would be discovered by "Machi" and Babu, Jingyang had no idea.
In this way, the only starred item Jingyang left with the gangsters was Claudie, who was about to send him a treasure map. He had already left instructions for him, and Jingyang just needed to wait to receive the package.
"It's something."
Jingyang then asked, "Is there any hope for the Nian Beast?"
“You’re a Manipulation type, so theoretically you should be able to develop Nen abilities that are naturally suited to Emission type,” Kurapika said. “You’re the one who told me all this.”
The Nen Beast, to put it simply, is a mass of energy released from the body, usually in human or animal form.
Since it is qi, ordinary people cannot see it.
Some spirit beasts possess independent consciousness, while others do not.
Like the Nen beast Purple Ape, it clearly belongs to the type that has little or no independent consciousness. This guy is a Transmutation type, yet he also has a Nen beast. I really don't know if it was developed autonomously or naturally awakened... Jing Yang remembers there being such an example in the manga.
Speaking of Purple Ape, possessing his body would be the perfect opportunity to experience the "Flying Thunder God Technique." Unfortunately, Jingyang himself doesn't understand Purple Ape's Nen ability, so he can't use it, let alone experience it. And if he were to command Purple Ape to use his Nen ability, Jingyang's projected consciousness would leave due to the change in the method of control…
"Why?" Jingyang pondered.
Kurapika said, "Don't worry too much. Maybe it's just not the right time yet. Didn't you say yourself that intuition is very important when developing Nen abilities?"
Jingyang pondered, "Why do I feel nothing at all when I kill those people?"
Whether it was the deaths of those old gangsters and the Yin Beasts in the conference room, or the guys controlled by his own star, he could abandon them without hesitation and order their annihilation. He thought that dealing with the life and death of each person would at least make him hesitate for a moment or two, but now that his thoughts have returned to his main body, and he recalls what happened with the gangsters just now, he still feels nothing at all.
It's as simple as throwing a few moldy slices of bread into the trash can.
Isn't this no longer about Nen beasts? Kurapika's deadpan expression... Could you please give a hint when changing the topic?
He frowned and asked, "You killed a lot of people? When—" He suddenly realized, "You were just spacing out, were you controlling someone somewhere else?"
Jing Yang said, "Yes. It's that guy I lost to in the Sky Arena. He's a Yin Beast. I just happened to possess him today..."
"Aren't you going to invite Shizuku to listen too?" Kurapika asked, pointing to a spot not far away.
Little Di opened her eyes, looking over with a question mark on her face.
Jingyang asked in surprise, "Xiaodi already knows? I gave her a live commentary the whole time!"
He raised his hand and pointed to the "Jia" ring on his index finger.
Kurapika was even more speechless. He sighed and sat down opposite Jingyang.
Jing Yang then briefly recounted what had happened at the gangster's place that day: the Ten Elders' meeting, the True Martial King's treasure map, the Ksitigarbha Buddha statue, and the sudden appearance of two members of the Phantom Troupe…
“Look, I don’t know them at all. Although they are gang thugs and gang leaders, they just casually control people to their deaths, and of course, suicides.” Jing Yang pondered, “It seems, maybe, probably, it seems, that it’s somewhat unreasonable?”
After listening to him, Kurapika interlaced his fingers, lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "People who can climb to that position in the yakuza are probably meant to die anyway."
Do you really think that way?
Xiao Di was already standing next to him at some point. She sat down next to Jing Yang and looked at Kurapika.
She didn't really care how many people Jingyang killed or what kind of people he killed. If Jingyang needed her, she was always ready to help him kill.
However, if Kurapika's ideas and style differ too much from theirs, it will be difficult to handle.
Kurapika said, "I really think so."
“But there’s a difference between ‘damned’ and ‘killed’.” He looked up at the two men. “I don’t like killing, and I don’t want to kill. But if in some situations I have to kill someone to keep moving towards my goal, I think I have no choice but to do it… With that kind of thinking, what right do I have to criticize my companion’s actions?”
Jingyang laughed and said, "Actually, I don't like killing either. But what can I do? They're a gang."
“Little Drop might be the one with the most assassin potential. She was quite curious about the Phantom Troupe before.” He turned and pinched Little Drop’s cheek. “I’ll keep a close eye on her. Don’t kill anyone indiscriminately!”
Xiao Di said, "The first rule of the organization is to obey the boss in everything."
Jing Yang added, "Of course, if your own life is in danger, killing anyone indiscriminately is not considered indiscriminate killing. Remember, remember, your own life comes first."
Little Di nodded.
Kurapika smiled but said nothing. Jingyang knew this kid was the type who might sacrifice himself for others at any moment. He'd heard that in the Watari arc of the manga, he burned through several years of his lifespan due to overuse of "Absolute Time" for the Queen's mission—can you believe it? Even though he's a professional hunter, this is incredibly dedicated!
"Didn't Jingyang know those two members of the Phantom Troupe before?" Xiao Di asked curiously.
“Strictly speaking, I don’t know any of the members of the group,” Jing Yang corrected. “I know them, but we don’t know each other.”
After thinking for a moment, he added, "OK, we know Kubi, but he's probably dead by now, so he doesn't count."
Although I had seen Kuroro and Machi on the airship, we hadn't really talked much, so it's not really a matter of whether we knew each other or not.
Kurapika summarized: "Two members of the Phantom Troupe. One can transform into Machi and Uvogin; the other is a woman who can cause explosions from a distance with her fingers, and her name and codename are unknown."
“If the former’s ability can indeed transform into all the members of the Phantom Troupe,” he said to Jingyang and Xiaoshi, “then the leader of the Phantom Troupe only needs to be made to try transforming into Kubi, whom you said you threw on Greed Island. Once he fails, they will know that Kubi is dead.”
Jing Yang nodded and said, "The girl disguised as Machi mentioned the treasure map and also mentioned Red Eyes. I think she knows about the wedding of the young master of the Claudie family."
Kurapika remained silent, his hands clenching unconsciously, a crimson glint in his eyes. In other words, this would be his most likely opportunity to directly confront a member of the Phantom Troupe.
Xiao Shi was puzzled, "Since the Phantom Troupe has already abandoned the Scarlet Eyes, why are they concerned about the Scarlet Eyes now?"
“It was probably their leader Chrollo who threw away those Scarlet Eyes,” Jingyang guessed. “Not everyone was willing to throw away their Scarlet Eyes, right? Maybe they just suddenly wanted to reminisce? —Kurapika, your eyes are red.”
The red in Kurapika's eyes gradually faded, and he said, "Treasure map. It shouldn't be difficult for the Phantom Troupe to find out Claudie's identity. Even if they weren't after the Scarlet Eyes, they would still go for the treasure map."
"Then they might have made a wasted trip."
Jingyang smiled and said that the wedding would begin in the next two days, which would be around the time when Claudi, under the command of Xingbiao, would send the treasure map to the address he had left.
"Regarding that so-called treasure map of the True Martial King's treasure,"
Kurapika concluded, "The information we have now is that these two items were discovered together, and they are related to Alpha-Edward, who committed suicide at the Sky Arena more than two years ago."
"Since we already have a treasure map, why do we need a Buddha statue?" Little Drop wondered. "Isn't a map all you need to find treasure?"
