Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Page 243

Poxon held his breath and silently watched their departing figures.

Whether they were used to being pampered or accustomed to torturing ordinary people, Owl and Sick Dog were completely unaware of Poxen's spying.

This also reveals the real reason why the Shadow Beasts, despite their considerable strength, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Phantom Troupe.

"After a while, I'll put these things on the black market. Once I've made this big profit, I can live a carefree life for a few more months."

The task was completed, the money was deposited into the account, and the sick dog's initially unhappy mood improved.

Xiao also looked relaxed, and was about to say something.

Suddenly they heard a sharp sound coming from behind them.

The two men were stunned and turned to look. If they remembered correctly, they should have killed all the staff members.

Suddenly, a black smoke grenade appeared and silently rolled into their field of vision.

"Where did this smoke bomb come from?"

The sick dog, skilled and daring, showed no sense of danger and simply walked in that direction with suspicion, to see if there were any people it had missed.

The owl remained motionless, lazily watching the sick dog take just two steps.

Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into my heart.

In that instant, Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Bang! Bang! Bang! —

A series of explosive gunshots rang out, and bullets carrying Nen energy flew out from behind him, all hitting Xiao's head, which only had a thin layer of [Entanglement]!

Whoosh!

The sound of a watermelon shattering rang out, and red and white brain tissue splattered instantly.

Amidst the splattering blood, Poxon's cold eyes and the dark muzzle of his gun were revealed!

Chapter 299 Near Death × What to do before dying?

Gunshots rang out suddenly, and the sick dog instinctively turned its head to look, only to see that the owl's head had been smashed to pieces!

"What...you're asking for it!"

The sick dog's pupils suddenly contracted to a single point, its entire aura surged instantly, and a murderous intent swept over Poxon—

Although he had disliked Xiao for a long time, he wasn't someone who could be provoked by just anyone!

In the blink of an eye, he flashed and transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards Poxon like lightning.

Halfway there, the sick dog raised its right hand, and sharp claws extended from its fingertips, gleaming coldly in the air.

His strongest weapon is his teeth infused with neurotoxin, but when it comes to speed, his claws are still faster!

Moreover, judging from the weak [training] of this suddenly appearing enemy, he was clearly not a master, so there was no need to go all out.

The sick dog attacked aggressively, instantly creating a powerful sense of pressure for Poxon.

Although the Shadow Beasts are useless, they are still quite difficult for novice Nen users to deal with.

Despite sensing the approaching, powerful enemy, Pokson did not panic as one might expect.

The reason is simple: although the enemy was strong, compared to the sense of oppression that Dia gave her, it was like heaven and earth. The practical training that Dia gave her back then still had a certain effect.

If Poxen activates the Fool's ability right now, he is absolutely confident that he can escape unscathed!

but………

Whoosh!

With the death of the owl, the small package in his pocket jumped into the air, bulged violently, and then exploded after a jolt!

Countless items sealed within suddenly scattered, and as the spiritual energy enveloping them dissipated, they gradually grew back to their original size.

Poxon's eyes narrowed, and he instantly spotted the target game console.

At the critical moment.

She gritted her teeth, braced herself against the sick dog's sudden attack, and swiftly reached out to grab the game console!

If she uses her ability to leave directly, she can definitely escape unscathed.

But that means we definitely can't get the game console. So what's the point of her jumping out? Is it just to kill someone?

No matter what, we must complete the mission...

A hard, tactile sensation came through, and Poxon's eyes lit up. He decisively switched [Training] to [Entanglement], and mentally shouted:

'The Fool!'

Darkness arrived as promised.

Pokson was overjoyed; his ability had been successfully activated, meaning he could leave immediately...

puff!

A thin, bony hand suddenly pierced through Poxon's heart!

Before the pain could reach her brain, Poxon only felt a blur before her eyes, and the familiar [Infinite Corridor] came into view...

After a long silence...

"Gurgle..."

Poxon swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down his face.

She witnessed the enemy's claws pierce through her body from behind in one swift motion!

However, because her ability had already been activated, she was fortunate enough not to be interrupted in her progress into the [Infinite Corridor].

but.

"My physical body in reality is definitely severely injured..."

Although she hadn't felt any pain yet, Pokson, who was very familiar with the structure of the human body's internal organs, knew that her heart was most likely shattered.

in other words.

She has entered the countdown to death.

'I will die if I leave the [Infinite Corridor]...'

In the blink of an eye, he was a walking corpse. Poxon's hands and feet were ice cold, and he stood there blankly.

I don't know how much time passed.

She slowly came to her senses, and turned her head in confusion to look at the rows of black wooden doors, on which scenes appeared one after another.

Those were all her past memories.

Memories make up everything about a person—the beautiful, the ugly, the warm, the embarrassing.

When Pokson was a child, her family was poor, her mother had a big appetite, and her father would rather eat only one meal a day than let her and her mother be full.

Even so, they still couldn't get enough to eat.

My mother said that she was born a whole month late, which made her belly swell up higher than a camping tent, causing my parents a lot of suffering.

Her birth brought burden and worry to her parents, and her childhood was accompanied by hunger.

sorry……

Pokson turned his head away sadly, refusing to look at those painful memories.

Continuing to read, it turns out that it's time to go to school.

Thanks to her father's early service in the Fujiang War, where he received a third-class merit award, she was recommended to study at a special closed school set up by the military.

Despite her humble origins, she was like a white lotus flower emerging from the mud. She was intelligent, beautiful, calm in the face of adversity, and tactful in her dealings with others. She was an outstanding student in everyone's eyes.

Only she herself knew that she didn't like learning from books, didn't like scheming against others, and didn't like being confined to a small world.

But her opinion doesn't matter.

Because she had no choice, she had to swallow her grievances and hardships.

No one will stand up for her, no one can protect her, not even her parents. It's best for them to take care of themselves.

Knowing all this, Pokson neither wanted to stand out from the crowd nor to be forgotten by the masses.

She simply relied on her natural talent to easily outmaneuver her peers and eventually entered New Delhi, where she was admitted to the Advanced Military Academy.

It was there that she met her true friends who could keep up with her, and received what seemed to be a perfect life plan—

He could become a minor official, such as a preparatory school instructor or above in the military, a deputy mayor in the General Affairs Office of the National Defense Department, or below the fourth secretary, save up five million to buy a small house, and live an ordinary life.

A life of drifting with the tide.

But all of this has now vanished like a mirage.

Pokson stared blankly at the night with Yorknew that would change her life.

Now her life is about to end here.

What would have happened if I hadn't accepted that mission?

Poxon gave a wry smile. The phrase "it will be better" kept circling in his mind, but he couldn't come up with a single word.

why……

Maybe I met the person I wanted to meet, or maybe I'm living the life I truly want.

Thinking like that makes me a real idiot; that guy was absolutely right...

Then.

What should you do in the last moments of your life?

'Shall we go see Mom and Dad...?'
