Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Hmm... they're really on high alert. Alright, I'll do it your way."

Dia didn't care; he was just saying it casually anyway.

He doesn't know where Benjamin is hiding and making his fortune, so how can he kill him?

"It's a pleasure doing business with you..."

Barusamirko breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and was about to hang up when he suddenly heard Dia's voice come through again!

Dia asked abruptly:

“Yes, Your Highness, Prince Benjamin.”

"Are you listening?"

Benjamin frowned and reached out to take the microphone from Barusamirko:

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly have a question I'd like to ask..."

Dia, recalling the "Inner History" she had seen in the attic that day, suddenly asked:

"Do you know the name of the founder of the Kakin Empire, the first king?"

"...?"

Benjamin was taken aback. He exchanged a glance with Barusamirko, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Why is Dia asking this?

"What a pointless question. The ancestor's name is naturally... is..."

Benjamin kept saying "yes" for a while, but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation, so he could only say something like:

"What's the point of asking this question? You should ask someone else!"

After saying that, he slammed the receiver down and hung up the phone.

The basement fell silent again.

"Barusa, what did he mean by asking that question?"

Benjamin had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

just like……

Something that was once taken for granted suddenly becomes extremely unfamiliar, even detached from the daily routine.

The room seemed to darken slightly without anyone noticing.

The chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the room is shining brightly.

The next moment, these faint lights seemed to be distorted and deflected by an invisible force. As if an unseen hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed the ray of light like a fish, it swiftly pulled it into the shadows under the lamp...

This strange contrast between familiarity and strangeness created a stark difference, seemingly tearing his perception in two.

"...I don't understand it either, but there must be a reason why he suddenly started paying attention to the name of the first king."

Barusamirko also frowned, unable to understand.

He casually remarked:

"Could he really be the one who broke into the royal palace and saw something inside...?"

slam-la-

Before Barusamirko could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a strange noise.

The two of them were both stunned—

That's... the sound of someone paddling?

This is a completely enclosed military base located deep underground. Where did these people who were just slacking off come from?

The sound faded away quickly, disappearing without a trace.

After a very brief silence.

"Barusa, how long do you think he'll wait?"

Benjamin remained calm and asked casually.

Barusamirko remained calm and casually replied:

“We told him it would take five hours, but he estimated he could only wait three hours at most. We can’t expect him to keep his promise.”

"That's enough. The scalpel that Shulkov saw is our last resort. Don't report it to the King's Army, just in case he's desperate."

Benjamin casually offered a word of advice.

"Ah."

Barusamirko was also unusually unwell, and gave a perfunctory reply.

It's as if everything that just happened never happened.

Benjamin turned and walked towards the door, preparing to leave the room to plan the next move...

pat.

Benjamin lifted his foot and looked down to see a puddle of water on the ground.

strangeness……

"...Next time, tell the soldier on duty to wring out the mop before cleaning."

He left those words behind and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.

"Bok, you've arrived. Do you have a way to notify the King's army? Tell them that someone attacked the Twelfth Prince, and the culprit has been killed by me."

As Diya watched Poxon walk over after changing his clothes, she casually remarked.

Pokson asked quite naturally:

"Yes, yes, now?"

"Hmm... let's wait another hour."

After thinking for a moment, to prevent the other party from resorting to desperate measures, Dia said it this way.

Pokson nodded in agreement and sat down on the sofa.

Mumu Ze looked at Pokson curiously:

"Pok, why did you change your pants?"

"...When I was cleaning the body just now, it got a little dirty, so I changed it."

Pokson's heart nearly stopped for a second. After a long pause, he calmly made up a story while looking away from Mumu Ze and Diya.

Upon hearing this, Mu Muze did not ask any further questions.

An hour later, an officer sent by the royal army arrived at the entrance of Mumuze's palace.

"Hello, Corporal Pokson, this is Lieutenant Colonel Wu from the General Staff. Where are the attackers you mentioned?"

A middle-aged man with the rank of lieutenant colonel saluted, followed by several fully armed soldiers.

Pokson led them to the security office.

Her former classmates from military academy now live here, working full-time as gatekeepers.

Due to the principle of keeping Nen abilities confidential, Mumu Ze has dismissed most of the staff in this palace, leaving only a very small number of maids to do cleaning work.

Those who were dismissed naturally included almost all the security personnel.

After all, the last time Mu Muze was assassinated, it was because the gatekeeper betrayed her.

Currently, the security of the Twelfth Prince's palace is actually limited to the patrolling soldiers outside the palace, Poxen and his group, and the two dolls, Diaqi, who are the ones actually putting in the effort.

The Dia doll would use a huge circle to cover and inspect the entire palace every once in a while, and the Qiduo doll would always be there to protect Mumu Ze.

After some time, once Mumu Ze has woven the Pokson dolls, with these dolls who share her feelings, her safety will be basically no longer a concern.

"These are the two men. They tried to break into the Twelfth Prince's palace at midnight, but were shot dead on the spot by our guards. One of them seemed to be in possession of some kind of poison and committed suicide on the spot."

Pokson pointed to the two unrecognizable corpses on the ground and said without changing his expression.

Lieutenant Colonel Wu looked troubled and said:

"Corporal Poxon, what happened to these two?"

He looked at the two corpses on the ground.

One of the bodies was covered in blood, its skin almost completely ulcerated, with large patches of purple bruising from the blood pooling in the subcutaneous tissue. The other body had its entire head stuffed into its chest cavity, its chest bulging high, with white ribs protruding through the skin and a rotten, mangled heart faintly visible.

Behind the lieutenant colonel, several inexperienced soldiers covered their mouths and nearly vomited the moment they saw the two corpses, their eyes filled with terror.

"No comment."

Pokson shook his head and said calmly.

"Okay, okay."

Lieutenant Colonel Wu looked at it for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't have the courage to ask any more questions.

The person who turned the invaders into this state must have some mental issues. It seems those princes of Kakin and their private soldiers are indeed...

The royal army soldiers who had come to their senses were somewhat wary of the extremely young-looking female soldier in front of them.

They weren't new recruits who had never seen blood before, they just hadn't actually been on the battlefield, but the corpses in front of them were still too outrageous, exceeding their imagination.

'This is utter torture...'

I originally thought that a low-key prince like the twelfth prince wouldn't have any powerful figures around him.

It now seems that the royal family is the royal family, and they are not people ordinary soldiers can fathom.

Wu Zhongxiao beckoned, and several soldiers, suppressing their discomfort, stepped forward to begin cleaning up the two corpses in front of them.

Suddenly, a soldier, while cleaning one of the corpses, seemed to notice something and paused in his work.

After a long pause, he hesitated and whispered to Lieutenant Colonel Wu:

"Lieutenant Colonel, come and take a look at this, it can't be..."
