Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

'What's going on? Where am I? I'm right in front of the hotel! And where's Silva? Where's everyone else?'

Diya took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and tried to analyze the current situation.

He recalled that just a few seconds earlier, he had uttered the completely different name of the hotel, "Four Disasters Hotel," and then heard eerie laughter.

He suddenly appeared here, in a completely unfamiliar environment. Most importantly, his ripple sensing did not work at all throughout the entire process.

'An illusion? No, a substitute can be summoned...'

Dia shook his head. Everything around him was too real for him to believe it was an illusion.

"The Four Disasters Inn?"

Diya tentatively uttered the name again.

Nothing had changed in the surroundings.

He shook his head helplessly; it seemed that the mechanism of teleporting was not simply about saying the name.

Since that's the case, we can only start with the surrounding environment.

Dia cautiously approached the wall, placed her palm on it, and the ripple radar instantly shot out from her hand, vibrating and spreading outwards along the wall.

A clear 3D map gradually appeared in Diya's mind, making it clear to him where he was.

This is an interior corridor of a building, which connects to a large room that resembles a living room at the other end, while Dia's side is a dead end.

The corridor was about a hundred meters long and had no light source except for a few small candles placed symbolically on the wall, emitting a faint light.

The walls here are covered with a layer of dark red wallpaper, and the walls are made of very hard broad mountain rocks, so even Diya's powerful blow just now did not completely shatter them.

Dia silently stepped forward. He hadn't found any living beings in the ripple radar, not even any enemy attacks.

'Then what was that voice I just heard?'

With a host of questions swirling in his mind, Dia scratched his head in frustration. In just a moment, the situation had changed in a way he couldn't comprehend at all.

We have no idea where the enemy is or where our teammates are.

He quickly moved out of the area marked by the small candles and into complete darkness.

When a person falls into complete darkness, they will fall into an increasingly intense emotional black hole, from initial fear to madness, all of which are detrimental effects.

Fortunately, Dia can glow!

'【ripple】!'

Diya silently activated her breathing technique, and golden light shone on her body, providing a very faint light source.

With the help of the dim light, Dia was able to see the end of the corridor ahead.

There, a heavy mahogany door was tightly closed. According to the 3D model we just got, there should be a reception hall behind it.

squeak--

Diya gently pushed open the door, the hinges making a sickeningly loud sound as it slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Pushing open the door, a few rays of light finally shone through.

In that instant, Diya immediately rejected her earlier guess that she had been teleported somewhere.

Because what shone from behind the door was light coming from a skylight in the ceiling—

moonlight.

Diya was startled and reached out to catch the bright white moonlight.

'How could that be... it was only noon just now.'

If this wasn't a fake moonlight deliberately created by the enemy, then there's only one possibility.

That is now, at this very moment, many hours after Dia landed on the island in the middle of the lake...

It could have been on the same night, or it could have been many days since then.

What about the memories in between?

A dark glint flashed in Diya's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath.

This situation is truly bizarre.

He needed to determine the current time quickly; if it was already many days later, then he wouldn't have much time left.

Diya took out her phone and pressed a few buttons, but it wouldn't turn on at all; it seemed to be broken.

He then checked the [mother seed] in the belt and found that it showed no signs of sprouting, which made Dia breathe a slight sigh of relief.

At least there haven't been any extreme casualties yet.

Now that things have come to this, we can only keep going and see if we can find enough clues to help him determine the current time.

Upon entering the reception hall, one is greeted by a jumble of chairs leaning over and some bloodstains.

Dia examined them and found that they were all very old bloodstains, none of them fresh. The bloodstains were scattered in a very concentrated area, and the amount of bleeding was not large.

'There must have been some minor bloodshed here before, but it was quickly suppressed...'

Diya silently stood up and looked around.

Enveloped in mystery, everything here was as quiet as if it were dead.

Chapter 203 Green-skinned Little Man × Big Teapot

"help me……"

A very faint sound suddenly came from the air, becoming increasingly clear in the silent hall.

Diya narrowed her eyes, no longer making any rash moves as before.

This sound was unlike any he had ever heard before.

Sharp, hollow, lifeless, extremely faint, yet so clear.

'If it's just a few sounds, what's the point?'

He looked around and checked his surroundings by the faint moonlight.

The sound just now came from directly in front.

In front of me, there were some broken tables, chairs and benches lying on the ground, overturned and askew.

Amidst the chaos, a wooden chair with a backrest sat steadily in the center of the hall.

Diya glanced at it using the light from the ripples.

A thick, blood-stained hemp rope dangled from the wooden chair, hanging limply to the ground like a dead fish.

Just as he was about to bend down and pick up the rope, a faint ripple suddenly vibrated within his body—[Ripple Sensing] issued a warning!

An unseen danger!

'【凝】！'

Without hesitation, Dia took several steps back and activated [Condensation] to examine the conspicuous wooden chair and ropes in front of her.

From Ning's perspective, a grass rope radiating black Nen energy suddenly drooped down, floated in mid-air, and landed in front of him.

If he hadn't sensed the danger and had instead gone forward to check out out of habit...

That rope was probably already around his neck, suspending him directly!

'trap……'

Diya's eyes turned cold; that voice just now was a trap!

"Save me, save me..."

The pleas rang out again, this time with a more urgent, even pressing tone.

The source of the sound was still that wooden chair!

click-

Dia decisively drew the 9mm Halletta pistol hidden at her waist, raised the gun, loaded it, and aimed in one smooth motion!

boom!

A flash of silver electricity tore through the air, and a thick layer of psychic energy, carrying a bullet, shot towards the wooden chair.

puff--

The chair was instantly shattered by the bullet!

Dia instantly felt a wave of malice envelop him, and the sounds around him showed no signs of disappearing; in fact, they grew even louder!

It was a sudden enemy attack!

"Why won't you save me?! Save me!!"

The voice became hoarse and desperate, filled with unconcealed resentment and hatred.

It seemed to come from all directions, with no traceable origin, yet it was eerily clear.

The sound grew louder and louder, until in an instant it sounded like hundreds of giant drums were beating at the same time, as if it were about to shatter Dia's eardrums!

Despite the excruciating pain in her ears, Dia remained calm and composed.

Because he has already located the enemy's position!

'The sound source is elusive, yet so clear; it's definitely there, I can't be wrong. Got you!'

Suddenly, Dia released the pistol, swiftly reached out with both hands, and fiercely dug into his ears, pulling out two tiny green-skinned figures!

The sounds coming from all directions vanished without a trace, and there was no doubt that these two villains were the culprits.

Dia looked closely and saw that the two little people were ugly and smaller than an insect. After leaving Dia's ears, they danced around in the air, but showed no fear whatsoever.

They struggled desperately between Dia's fingers, but were firmly pressed down by her powerful fingers and could not move.

After a brief attempt, they seemed to realize they were wasting their time and immediately began to squawk arrogantly:

"You bastards! Let us go!"

"That's right, let us go!"
