Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Although the answer was still completely irrelevant.

However, rambling was a characteristic of Dia's speech, and Kido expressed her understanding.

At least it's not the answer I don't want to hear.

Although she didn't understand why she didn't want to hear it...

A huge weight was lifted from her heart, and as she breathed a sigh of relief, Qiduo realized what Dia had said.

She looked up blankly at Diya.

He lowered his head, met her gaze with a calm expression.

Time seemed to stretch out countless times, yet it also seemed to shrink to a single instant.

She knew about this, because Dia had almost never hidden it from her.

But this is the first time I've said it so clearly and explicitly.

"...Eh, um..."

She knew; she always knew.

But what does this mean?

Dia said:

"Time is like an attribute. Everyone has a progress bar called time. Thanks to my talent, I can easily sense the changes in a person's [time]."

“A few days ago, when Poker suddenly appeared on the lighthouse, I didn’t realize it immediately because of her injuries…”

pat.

The door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Qiduo poked her head in, and the dog glanced at her furtively.

Upon seeing this, Pokson froze, instinctively hiding his phone under the covers, and gave a dry laugh:

"Qi, Miss Qiduo, you've arrived..."

"Um……"

Qiduo entered the room, looked her over with a complicated expression, and just stared at her without saying a word.

The atmosphere froze.

Pokson was a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere and couldn't help but ask hesitantly:

"Yes, is there something you need...?"

For some reason, perhaps because the other person was too dazzling, she always felt ashamed and even afraid in front of Qiduo.

"First of all, I apologize. I asked Dia about some details of your abilities without permission. I hope you won't blame him."

Unexpectedly, Qiduo apologized to her very frankly and sincerely, which made her wave her hand, feeling somewhat flattered:

"No, no, without your help, Miss Dia and Miss Qiduo, I wouldn't be alive now. Those trivial matters... don't matter..."

I feel so uncomfortable having such a serious conversation...

I'm not used to it; it feels so different when I'm with Diya.

Pokson missed the feeling of being with Dia before.

In Kakin, she was the leader of the small group, always mature, steady, and calm, and able to bear the pressure. In front of people like Qiduo or the prince, she was cautious and timid, unwilling to make any mistakes.

Only when she's with that guy can she say and do whatever she wants without worrying about unbearable consequences.

Being with him is like drinking a slowly taking effect, richly fragrant poison; one becomes hopelessly intoxicated, losing the ability to think, and can only obey his every command.

“I have a question I’d like to know, but you may choose not to answer it, Miss Poxon.”

Qiduo slowly sat down in front of her bed and quietly looked at her.

Pokson subconsciously glanced at that delicate and gentle face, and those jewel-like eyes.

'Your eyes are so beautiful...like a doll's...'

It's hard for any normal person not to like someone like that, right?

Shaking his head frantically to clear his mind of the strange thoughts, Poxon said:

"Ask away! If I know the answer, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Okay, I just want to know, how long did it take you to get here from Youkexin that day?"

'In an instant.'

Pokson was about to blurt it out.

In an extremely short time, traversing an extremely long distance, isn't that what her "Fool" is most proud of?

But then I thought, shouldn't Qiduo have known this all along?

So, that's not what she needs to know...

After a long pause, Pokson finally said helplessly:

"If it's based on my perceived time, it's too long. I can't calculate the exact time anymore. I only know that from the start of the run to the point of exhaustion where I felt like I was going to vomit blood, this process must have gone through more than 400 times."

The kind of pain a well-trained Nen user goes through to the point of exhaustion, to the point of wanting to vomit blood, is something that only the most elite marathon runners can truly understand.

But even the best long-distance runners cannot experience exhaustion more than 400 times in a row.

'Converted to mean it was a three-month-long, non-stop march, roughly consistent with what Diya said…'

That would likely be a long and brutal ordeal.

Qiduo looked at the girl in front of her with a complicated expression.

She was looking down somewhat awkwardly, occasionally stealing a glance in their direction.

It's unimaginable that a girl who seems a bit insecure could have such determination and perseverance, running relentlessly forward on the endless track while enduring the pain of coughing up blood...

"Try not to use long-distance abilities too frequently in the future. It's not just about the perceived time; it also genuinely consumes your lifespan. That's what Dia said."

Qiduo gave a serious instruction and then got up to leave.

If a person's lifespan suddenly decreases by a few months, the physical effects may be negligible because it is not "growth" but "aging".

But Dia, who is extremely sensitive to time, could tell.

This is one of the reasons why he went to such lengths to deal with those gangsters.

"Eh..."

Pokson was taken aback. Even she herself didn't know this. How did Dia know?

Just as she was wondering what was going on, she saw Qiduo about to leave, and suddenly remembered something, so she quickly asked:

"Where is that guy... I mean, Dia?"

"He has already left to see a so-called 'old friend,' he must be in a hurry."

Qiduo shook her head, turned around, closed the door to the ward, and left.

The room fell silent again.

Compared to the previous quiet, this time it was so quiet and desolate, as if something important was missing, and the huge room suddenly felt empty.

The golden light of the setting sun streamed through the glass into the room, accumulating on the white quilt, flowing and solidifying as if time had stood still.

'You've left... in such a hurry...'

Pokson sat blankly on the bed; she still had so much to say…

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly pulled out her phone, which she had just hidden under the covers, and examined it carefully for a very long time…

The screen on my phone was frozen on a front-page news article—

[Shocking! Yorkshire, the world's auction capital, was struck by a giant typhoon, resulting in the deaths of countless gangsters...]

Chapter 315 Entering the Game × Marsadora

It's still that same lighthouse.

Diya arranged the game console on Greed Island, inserted the data card, and put on the ring.

Next, simply activate your [Train] on this JoyStation to enter [Greed Island].

But Diya wasn't in a hurry to go in. Instead, she took out a small box from her bosom, placed it on the table, pulled out a chair, and quietly sorted out the current situation.

First, there was one of the original primary targets, that organization that was also called "Zoo" or "Tomorrow's Dream," and probably had many other nonsensical names.

It now seems that it was a tacit and spontaneous organization formed by all people in the world who intended to go to the Dark Continent.

Dia had lived several lifetimes and had never seen such a cobbled-together organization.

Without a leader or a base, everyone silently fueled the flames, gradually forming a global organizational network, all for one ultimate goal—the Dark Continent.

Despite such meticulous planning, it was still difficult to break through the barrier formed by the old-school forces and gatekeepers in V5, which shows how terrifying those gatekeepers who control the passage to the outside world and Lake Möbius are.

However, he wasn't really interested in the Dark Continent, at least not that strongly right now.

Secondly, there are the strange things that have happened in the last few days.

Dia didn't tell Qiduo about the text message that foresaw the future.

This is no longer something a normal person should get involved in; it involves secrets that even he doesn't understand, and the investigation is so haphazard that he doesn't even know where to begin.

However, one thing is certain: this matter is related to Poxon.

There's plenty of time in the future, and Diya believes she'll definitely encounter similar situations again. She'll see if any clues are missed then.

Click.

The door to the lighthouse room was pushed open.

Vincent, dressed neatly, walked into the room and said with a smile:

"We haven't set off yet? Let's just leave this game console here. Nobody touches it usually."
