On the grass, many people danced hand in hand, children scrambled for flower baskets and candy, obese men in suits cheered and clapped, women in long skirts danced gracefully, and everyone laughed heartily. It was impossible to tell that many of these people were involved in underground gray transactions to varying degrees, and that the groom himself was the heir to a powerful family in the underworld.

Melody enjoyed the live band's performance, but disliked the sentiments of most people there. Almost everyone was saying one thing and meaning another; even their well wishes contradicted the genuine feelings conveyed by their heartbeats. The insincere beating of their hearts sounded particularly… jarring, not exactly jarring, but certainly frustrating.

She glanced at the wedding emcee, who had retreated to the edge of the crowd with a smile. He seemed like a calm bystander, unrelated to the hustle and bustle, and completely oblivious to the dozens or hundreds of different heartbeats around him.

This is a hunter. Or at least a Nen user.

Even without using "凝" on the eyes, the melody can be distinguished by ear alone.

Just as she was secretly observing Ou Si, she suddenly heard another heartbeat approaching. This heartbeat was colder than any heartbeat Melody had ever heard. That was the only word she could think of.

"Hehe, this is really interesting." Ou Si smiled as he looked at the newlyweds dancing arm in arm amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd.

He suddenly wondered, where were Zhen Yuanzi and the others? He hadn't seen Kurapika in a long time either; wasn't he supposed to be here too? Had he already left?

People came and went in small groups on the garden and lawn, even the waiters carrying trays and pushing carts all had smiles on their faces, but neither Chin Motoko, Kurapika, nor Shizuku were to be seen. When Ouji was on stage witnessing the exchange of rings between the newlyweds, he didn't seem to see the three of them in the crowd. Even if they were leaving, weren't they leaving far too soon?

"What's so interesting about it?" someone asked from the side.

Ousi turned his head and saw a woman with her hair up in a bun, wearing a men's suit, chewing gum and casually looking around at the lively dancing crowd.

“I love watching people make vows; it’s so beautiful,” Ou Si said. “That’s why I find it interesting.”

The woman blew a bubble, which popped with a "pop," and chewed her gum, saying, "What's so beautiful about a lie that you don't mean?"

“That’s one of the interesting things,” Oushi laughed. “I only said it was beautiful, not that it was wonderful.”

Bab looked at him and suddenly said, "Those two people followed those gifts to the back. Do you know what they went to steal?"

Ou Si was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

……

"What's wrong?" Jingyang asked.

Little Drop, carrying the bulging-eyed fish, was also a little puzzled by his question and said, "There's no need to check the gifts that contain Scarlet Eyes, can't we just take them all?"

Jing Yang opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, but finally smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Okay."

In terms of banditry, Doraemon, I, Tiandao Jingyang, admit today that you are stronger!

"But we still need to figure out if there are any other Scarlet Eyes among these gifts," Jing Yang added. "Once we have a clear idea, we can pack them all up and take them all with us!"

"Okay." Little Drop immediately turned on the vacuum cleaner. "Bulging-eye Fish, suck up all the Red-Eyed Fish here."

The vacuum cleaner's large head, covered in sharp teeth, opened its mouth wide, like the gaping maw of an abyss, emanating an irresistible suction force—instantly, the pile of boxes in the room began to shake and rumble, and the smaller gift boxes were quickly shaken off and fell to the ground.

Jingyang identified the piles of gifts that were shaking more noticeably. "There are at least two other pairs of fiery red eyes. Alright, at least the trip wasn't a complete waste!"

Snap! He snapped his fingers. "So small, put it away!"

He had just clenched his fist when his body suddenly and involuntarily twisted and swung his fist backward with force.

As he automatically threw a punch in retaliation, he felt a faint prickling sensation in his back, like being pricked by a needle.

Out of the corner of his eye, he also caught a glimpse of a hand behind Xiao Di, holding a needle-like object and piercing it into her back... A knight-errant?

The name immediately flashed through Jingyang's mind.

The moment Xiao Di felt the needle-like sensation on her back, she grabbed the bulging-eyed fish and darted to the side.

The short-haired youth held two needle-like objects that had been passively pulled out of his hand, looking somewhat surprised, but at that moment Jing Yang's fist had already landed on his handsome face.

"boom"!

A punch, delivered without restraint, slammed heavily into Lieying's face. He was sent spinning backward, crashing heavily into the room's wall.

He truly is a chivalrous hero!

As Jing Yang threw his punch, he also got a clear look at his opponent. The appearance was almost identical to the image of the Phantom Troupe's swordsman in his memory.

But how could the other party have gotten so close to them and Xiaodi from behind, even inserting his phone antenna into their backs, without them noticing?

Neither I nor Xiaodi, especially Xiaodi, could be that bad at being alert.

Fortunately, even if they were caught in the swordsman's phone antenna, they wouldn't be controlled by his manipulative Nen ability "carrying the fate of others"—after all, the star had already "controlled" them first.

"Haha, the sneak attack failed? What a pity! As expected, attacking from behind means I can't unleash my true power."

The "knight-errant" was sent flying against the wall. As he landed and stood up, he rapidly grew taller, becoming incredibly strong and muscular, his body covered in thick hair, his long hair bristling like a lion's mane. Lie Ying, now in his Uvogin form, rubbed his cheek where he had just been hit and laughed, "Looks like we'll have to go for a direct assault then."

Jing Yang looked at him expressionlessly, thinking to himself, "He didn't say that the control failed, he only said that the sneak attack failed. It seems that he doesn't want to expose the information about the swordsman's manipulative abilities."

Lieying, sporting the "Uvogin" skin, thought to himself, "I tried to control them using Chrollo's abilities, but failed. They weren't particularly surprised by my transformation. It seems he really is the same manipulator who controlled the gang members to fight me and Bab... He's already used his manipulator Nen abilities to manipulate himself and the bespectacled woman next to him beforehand!"

……

Outside the villa, Kurapika was keeping watch, observing any other people who might appear at any moment.

The two lines of the character "神" (god) written on his left arm, beneath the sleeve of his suit jacket, had not yet disappeared due to the wear and tear on his skin.

Whenever he uses "凝" (Ning), it's equivalent to adding a "round" effect to his eyes, which Jingyang calls "锥" (Zhui).

In Kurapika's view, the greatest advantage of this so-called "cone" is its concealment.

Generally speaking, when "En" detects a target, the target will also sense someone else's aura sweeping over them—unless, of course, the other party is a Nen user who can sense aura.

But the 'cone' is different; it relies on the gaze and the 'condensation,' so even if the target is swept by this gaze, it will not be immediately noticed.

The reason it's said that it won't be immediately noticeable is because there are many experts in this world who are extremely sensitive to the gaze of others. Let alone a gaze enhanced by the 'Cone', even a normal, fixed gaze will alert the other person…

As Kurapika pondered these random thoughts, a faint explosion suddenly came from the direction of the garden where the wedding was being held in the distance.

"Something happened over there?"

Kurapika looked out, but even with his excellent eyesight, he couldn't see through the buildings along the way.

Not long after, he saw something in his piercing gaze.

In mid-air.

There is something.

Spherical, as if gently swaying in the wind... Is this a bubble?

Transparent, no, not transparent, but made of air!

More and more "bubbles" appeared, as if Kurapika's gaze had alerted them, and suddenly they all floated toward him.

Kurapika slowly retreated, his body swirling with energy, poised to unleash his power.

Unfortunately, wherever he retreated, these "bubbles" followed, as if they had him pinned down.

Kurapika touched his C-ring and transmitted his voice: "Jingyang, I might know how that Phantom Troupe's explosive woman, the one you mentioned, achieved her power. She's here!"

[What a coincidence, I have one too. The Ditto is right here.]

Knew it!

Kurapika was cornered against the courtyard wall. Looking at the "bubbles" chasing him from all directions, he raised his hand to conjure a dolphin bookshelf and pulled out a book.

These "bubbles" suddenly burst forth with rays of light, and the dense explosions engulfed him.

……

"It can transform."

When Xiao Di saw "Xia Ke" being knocked away and landing as "Wojin," she immediately realized that he was the Phantom Troupe member that Jing Yang had mentioned.

With one hand holding the bulging-eyed fish, she instantly transformed her Nen into a chainsaw in the other hand, whipping it like a whip towards "Uvogin" opposite her.

call!

The chainsaw was pulled out with a whooshing sound.

Snapped!

Wokin raised his strong arm and caught it steadily.

His powerful spiritual energy was like an impenetrable armor; under such protection, the chainsaw strikes left no mark on his arm.

Instead, Uvogin swung his chainsaw and pulled hard, trying to drag Little Drop over.

Lieying glanced at Jingyang, who hadn't moved yet, and thought to himself, "Since the bespectacled woman's Nen ability is either Transmutation or Conjuration, then the so-called Manipulation type is either the one outside or him... Hmm, most likely it's him!"

"Is it an operation method with almost no side effects? That's why it can be applied to companions. This is very similar to what the swordsman guessed!"

"As a manipulator of Nen, given his habit of pre-emptively controlling himself, he should have realized that my attack just now wasn't just a failed sneak attack, but a failed attempt to control him... Yet he didn't mention it at all. Is he naturally taciturn, or did he already have prior knowledge of our situation?"

As "Wojin" was racking his brains, four or five more chainsaws of Nen energy attacked him like whips.

Shizuku's Nen ability is a Transmutation type, not a Conjuration type.

These are not real chains; their essence is qi (vital energy), so there is no need to make that "whipping" motion at all.

Hisoka can raise his hand and shoot out his gummy Nen like a laser, which then sticks to the enemy. Shizuku's Nen chainsaw can also be shot out directly by activating Nen.

Clap clap clap clap!

A total of six chainsaws extended from one of Little Drop's hands, all wrapped around Uvogin's muscular, pillar-like arm.

Buzz!

All the chainsaws began to spin wildly, their countless sharp teeth, formed from transformed Nen, like rows of sharp blades from a real chainsaw, cutting madly along Uvogin's arm.

puff puff!

Uvogin's skin was cut open, and blood spurted out.

"Such powerful cutting ability! It really is a Transmutation-type Nen!"

"Wojin" thought to himself that things were not good and he had to deal with this bespectacled woman quickly.

The Nen ability "release" extends into six major systems: enhancement, transformation, materialization, traits, manipulation, and release. Among them, the manipulation type of Nen often has characteristics such as "first strike wins" or "one-hit kill," which can enable the weak to defeat the strong and turn the tide. In fact, other types of Nen also have a chance to produce similar abilities.

For example, the variable system.

In the manga, Killua's super-fast Nen ability allows him to transform his aura into electricity, and the concentrated bursts of lightning possess the potential to overcome stronger opponents.

The power of thunder, without a difference of several orders of magnitude in psychic power, is something that even with psychic protection, it is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

The same principle applies to the cutting of this type of chainsaw.

Uvogin's Nen power was immense, and his protective Nen aura was like an invincible bell. With Xiao Shi and Jing Yang's current strength, they probably wouldn't even be able to break through his defenses. But it was a different story when the chainsaw was used to cut him... The extremely strong "armor-piercing" ability directly tore the skin off Uvogin's arm, causing blood to spurt out immediately!

"Bulging-eyed fish, suck all the blood out of his body." Little Drop maintained the Nen chainsaw with one hand and pushed the vacuum cleaner switch with the other, calmly issuing the order.
