Seeing this, Milstein sighed silently. It was indeed his mistake to make Kang Jae carry things, so he spoke up for him:

"Please give me your guidance, next one."

Dia gave Silba a look, and Silba understood immediately, stepping forward and saying:

“I am Silva Zoldyck, employed by Dia. That’s all.”

At this moment, Pariston, who had been watching the show from the corner of the rooftop for a while, suddenly spoke up:

"Mr. Silva is an assassin, isn't he? As a crime hunter, is it really appropriate for Mr. Dia to associate with assassins?"

As he spoke, Pariston glanced at Mitchellston on his left, his meaning all too clear.

Their aim is to sow discord and be utterly disgusting.

Silva glanced coldly at Pariston for uttering those words and calmly replied:

"The Zoldyck family's business is an internationally recognized legal business that does not violate any country's existing laws or regulations."

The Zoldyck family has been studying the legitimacy of assassinations for nearly a century, leaving no loopholes, so they are naturally completely open and aboveboard at this moment.

"Is that so? Then I have nothing to say."

Pariston wasn't surprised; he was just saying it casually, and would only play a couple of rounds whether he had a chance or not.

He didn't care whether his little scheme worked or not.

Because he truly doesn't care about anything.

"You're not out of things to say, are you? Where are your collaborators?"

Mitchell urged him bluntly.

"Mr. Pariston, you probably don't have any so-called 'collaborators,' do you? Given your personality, you would only invite one person, and that person would absolutely never agree to your request."

Dia suddenly interjected, glancing at the calm Pariston, and voiced his suspicions:

"After all, once King Freecss disappears, he's truly gone forever."

Here we go again, that feeling of being guessed...

Pariston lowered his eyelids. Just as Dia had said, he had invited Kim, only to be promptly rejected.

So he said:

“Mr. Jin, it seems you have something important to do and don’t have time to come here for this grand game.”

"You'll find out whether it's a game or not when the time comes."

Dia chuckled softly; he was already prepared to kill Pariston in the next operation.

Even if we can't kill them, we should at least test their abilities!

The conversation between Dia and Pariston was clearly heard by everyone, especially by Ciyutuo, who was about to begin his introduction.

The two of them kept talking about games, which made his heart sink to the bottom.

This was the last thing he wanted to see...

The Hunter Association's professional hunters enjoy a very high reputation throughout the world, and no one doubts their abilities.

But Ciyutuo was very skeptical of their attitude toward the operation.

'If we approach this crisis with a playful attitude, or any other kind of attitude, and we fail, who knows how many people will be displaced...'

Ci Yutuo's mind raced with thoughts, but he was helpless against these monstrous hunters. After all, he was just a powerless minister in an obscure department.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted:

"Everyone! Has anyone heard of the legends of the [Ishizai Incident] and the [Phantom City]?"

His voice drew everyone's attention, except for Pariston.

Qi Duo frowned and said:

"That one from the urban legends of the Ochima Federation?"

If she remembered correctly, the legend known as the "Number One Paranormal Event in Ochima" should have already been debunked by various experts.

"Yes, and no!"

Ciyutuo looked bitter and said:

"This is not an urban legend or a paranormal event, but a genuine Level 2 Crisis event that happened 25 years ago."

The "Level 2 Crisis" is a unique danger event assessment system of the Ochima Federation, corresponding to disasters involving multiple city levels.

The only level higher than that is the "Level 1 Crisis," which is equivalent to the collapse of a nation.

Upon hearing Ciyutuo's words, Mizaston, Qiduo, and the others, understanding what the "Level Two Crisis" represented, immediately became serious and their expressions turned solemn.

Ciyutuo continued the previous topic, speaking in detail:

"Seven years ago..."

One morning in 1972, everything was as peaceful as usual.

The residents of St. Vera were just getting ready to start a new day.

As a result, residents who had just stepped out of their homes heard a terrifying loud noise, followed by tremors as if an earthquake had occurred, causing panic among the surrounding residents.

Fortunately, the tremor lasted for less than half a minute before subsiding. After calming down, the residents of St. Vera walked in the direction of the earthquake's epicenter.

The first person to arrive at the square was a 12-year-old boy.

Because of his proximity to the earthquake, he was the first to discover that the source of the earthquake came from the Wuyue Square, which he frequented.

What was originally a huge, empty square was shockingly transformed into a massive, luxurious hotel when the little boy arrived.

The hotel is named "Shizai".

The federal government took the incident very seriously and dispatched an investigation team that same day to investigate the cause.

An investigation revealed that the hotel was actually located in Dalatland, a city 100 kilometers away from St. Vera.

Further investigation confirmed that the hotel was indeed the one from Dalatland.

But in broad daylight, it inexplicably moved 100 kilometers to the completely unrelated city of St. Vera...

Please take one day off.

Tomorrow is the final exam for the first two months, which covers stochastic processes and optimization, so I don't have time to update. I tried to force myself to write 1 words just now, but even I couldn't stand it, so I gave up. It's a mess and it takes up time and affects the exam, so it's not worth it.

I have to ask for leave again, I'm very sorry.

Chapter 189 [Phantom City] × A Suspicious Official Report

"It must have been done by a Nen user."

Bisky crossed her arms and spoke frankly.

It's highly likely that the user is an "emission-type" ability user who used spatial abilities to do this.

"..."

Ciyutuo silently shook his head and said:

"Although I don't know much about Nen users, and I'm not afraid to admit it, the two who just came down from the sky are more powerful than I've ever heard of."

"However, this does not mean that the officials who investigated at the time were unaware of it. However, the investigation report still contained the assertion that it was 'not something that could be done by an individual,' and the mystery was not solved until after the Phantom City incident."

"In fact, the Stone House Hotel is the largest and most famous InterContinental Hotel in Dalatland, with all kinds of small facilities, and even a Dalatland-style church."

"This level of configuration means that its total height is probably half that of the Hunter Association headquarters building we are standing on, while its floor area is likely several times larger..."

Upon hearing this, the hunters, who were quite familiar with Nen abilities, exchanged bewildered glances.

According to the other party's description, such a building is indeed quite large.

Even with their extensive knowledge, they could only imagine that a very small number of exceptional individuals could move it completely and silently to another city a hundred kilometers away.

Even Silva frowned upon hearing this.

In his estimation, quite a few people could destroy such a building in a short period of time.

But how do I transfer it instantly?

Perhaps only that "monster" in the house could do that.

Could it be a collaborative multiplayer game?

That being said, Dia still felt that it was more likely that a Nen user was behind it. Perhaps an individual's power was insufficient, but if it was a special type of Nen ability involving multiple people working together, it would be a different story.

As soon as Dia finished speaking, Bisky's eyes lit up, and she said impatiently:

"I think so too, big... um..."

Before Bisky could finish speaking, Kita silently stepped forward and covered her mouth.

Bisky, who dared not exert any force for fear of revealing her strength, could only wave her hands wildly in the air and let out strange cries.

Kido did this to prevent her from continuing to talk nonsense in order to appear young, which would cause the Hunter Association to lose face in front of outsiders.

"If it's a collaborative project involving multiple people, the noise and activity will be so great that it can't be concealed."

Mitchell gave Dia a brief explanation.

Although Dia had a solid theoretical foundation due to Qiduo's cramming education, some of the more obscure details and knowledge could only be known by those who had seen them in person.

"Anyway, that damn hotel is still there. Hasn't anyone figured it out after 20 years? If all else fails, just demolish it?"

Kang Jae, who always hated long-winded speeches, began to impatiently pick at his ears.

In his opinion, there was no need to worry about this; just shoot everything away, no matter what it is!

'Kang Zai is oversimplifying things. A hundred kilometers is an exaggeration, and there's still no movement...'

Mitchellston remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he began to feel uneasy.

To put it bluntly, if this was done by human intervention, then if a hotel could be moved, the presidential palace and the Capitol Building could also be moved.
