Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Yokotani, Mato, you two stay behind to cover the rear."

"Yes." ×2

Two middle-aged men stepped out from the crowd.

One of them was smiling, had long hair, and was holding a thick book in his arms.

The other man was muscular, wore a strange mask, and spoke in a muffled voice.

Melina looked at them and said softly:

"They are the newly added ability users among us. Yokotani's ability is a defensive Nen ability that can only be used at headquarters, and Mato is an Enhancement-type ability user who is specifically responsible for protecting him."

Diya looked at the man named Yokotani and remembered his ability, which seemed to be called... [Mo Gong]?

In the original work, "Mo Gong" is a very powerful defensive ability. Moreover, because it has no offensive capabilities, the puppet soldiers are invincible when the ability is activated, just like Nakoruru's "Potterklin".

If he were there, he might actually be able to hold off Saqiu for a while.

Melina smiled without saying a word.

In order for Yokotani to awaken his abilities, Morina went to great lengths to bring the infected gangsters from the Ai-i family into a safe house for him to slaughter.

In the end, Yokotani lived up to expectations and awakened the power that Melena desired, adding fuel to their fire for destroying the world.

But even so, Dia waved her hand and said:

“You guys go through the escape route. I have another way to avoid Saqiu.”

It's too far from the outer suburbs to get here. If the timing isn't right, we'll face the curfew in the inner city, and then we'll have to go to great lengths to avoid the guards.

Seeing this, Melina didn't press the matter. She simply gave him a deep look and said softly:

"Then I wish you a safe journey."

--------------

Is this the place?

Saqiu rested one hand on the long sword at his waist, scanning his surroundings.

It took him quite a while to find this place.

After learning that two unidentified individuals had infiltrated the Third Prince's tea party on the night the royal palace was invaded, Saqiu had been investigating along this lead.

After analyzing the time, method, motive, and location of the crime, Saqiu could basically conclude that the murderer was a shady character skilled in hand-to-hand killing, such as a gangster.

Following the trail, Saqiu arrived at this gang-infested area.

Sure enough, just as he was about to explore the area, some clueless people jumped out and tried to stop him.

After easily dealing with the henchmen, Saqiu navigated through the narrow, interconnected passageways and finally arrived at this place.

'This wall…'

Saqiu stepped forward thoughtfully and drew a line on the wall with his finger—the wall remained undamaged.

If it were a normal brick wall, it should have already been slashed open by his sword finger by now.

This unusual scene illustrates one point—the wall in front of them has been imbued with [spirit/energy].

'Aside from those lowlifes outside, at least there are some normal Nen users here. The building is similar to a "safe house," so we need to consider whether there are any traps...'

Saqiu slowly walked to the door, scanned the area with [Concentration], and then tried pressing the doorknob.

crunch.

The door did not respond.

'As expected, but it's probably not a landmine-type trigger trap.'

There are two types of traps: [Barrier Type] and [Landmine Type]. The one in front of us doesn't belong to either type, so it's highly likely that there isn't a trap.

Let's just break down the door and go in.

With a flick of his thumb, Saqiu sent the long knife from his hand leaping into his grasp like a fish, slicing smoothly across the gate!

Clang!

The extremely faint whistling of the blade was like the muffled buzzing of bees; in the blink of an eye, countless flashes of white light appeared—

Clang.

The door in front of them was instantly cut into pieces, scattering all over the ground with a crash, revealing the scene behind the door!

Two men, who looked ordinary in appearance, were sitting leisurely at a table, chatting happily.

One of the muscular men kept complaining:

"So it's enough to just leave you here; I'm just here for show."

Another smiling man said:

"That's not quite right. If something unexpected happens, I'll have to rely on you, Ma Dou, to take care of me."

The two talked as if no one else was around, seemingly oblivious to Saqiu standing at the door.

Saqiu didn't mind. She calmly observed the environment at the entrance and, after confirming that there were no spatial traps, slowly spoke:

"Gentlemen, would you mind answering a few questions for me?"

Yokotani and Mato paused, then turned to look at Sachi at the door.

Aside from his strange appearance, the person in front of him didn't seem particularly outstanding at first glance. He carried a long knife loosely and looked nonchalant.

However, upon closer inspection, one can sense a unique quality about the other person, like a pine tree standing proudly in a strong wind.

This is the person Dia was talking about, someone who could easily wipe them out...

Yokotani was slightly nervous at this moment, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and said with a forced smile:

"Excuse me, this is a private residence. I am Yokotani, the legal counsel for the homeowner. Your actions of damaging the gate have violated the law. If you do not want us to call the police, please leave immediately."

His ability, [Ink Attack], is a completely defensive ability that can be activated at Melina's base camp. On the condition that he introduces himself, he can materialize an [Invincible] guard doll.

The guard dolls have no offensive capabilities, but they can choose different methods to deal with people who break into Melena's base camp depending on the different alert levels.

For example, at alert level 5, the guard doll's strength can reach the arm strength of a senior [Enhancement] ability user, and it can also drive away captured intruders.

Upon hearing this, Saqiu knew that negotiation was pointless, so she decisively stepped inside!

Since they won't cooperate, we'll have to resort to force!

However, his intrusion played right into Yokotani's hands!

Yokotani's eyes lit up, and he read it aloud without hesitation:

"Guards! Remove the intruders!"

Swish!

A flash of intense white light filled the room, and seven or eight humanoid soldiers, resembling toy puppets, stood directly in front of Saqiu, blocking his path!

The toy soldier mechanically shouted:

"Target: 1 person! Charge: Unauthorized intrusion!"

Alert Level: Level 2!

With that, the soldiers charged towards Saqiu!

'Representation system...'

Saqiu frowned, bent down, gripped his sword, and assumed the standard "draw sword slash" stance, his aura suddenly surging!

"Here it comes! That stance is unmistakable, it's the [Draw Sword Slash]!"

Yokotani was delighted; the other party's reaction was exactly what he had expected.

The toy soldiers materialized in "Mo Gong" are regarded as natural people!

In other words, if they are directly attacked, it is equivalent to Saqiu committing murder, and the soldiers' alert level will be raised to level 5 at once!

'A level five soldier is enough to confiscate his tools and expel him!'

Yokotani became more and more excited as he thought about it, as if he could already see a future of great victory.

Clang!

As expected, a cold light suddenly appeared in Saqiu's hand, and terrifying Nen energy wrapped around the long sword. Accompanied by a crisp sword sound, the long sword was drawn!

The blade tip tore through the air at a speed that Yokotani and Mato couldn't even see, slashing towards the toy soldier in front of them like lightning!

However, this seemingly inevitable strike ultimately failed to land.

Just as the tip of Sachui's blade was about to touch the soldier's neck, he glanced suddenly in Yokotani's direction and calmly asked:

"What are you so smug about?"

'what? '

Yokotani's smile froze.

With a flick of his wrist, Saqiu managed to retract his longsword just before the blade tip struck!

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, nimbly dodging the charging soldiers, and calmly said:

"Seeing my [Draw Sword Slash], they are not only unafraid, but even delighted. These soldiers are probably [Invincible], right? And if I were to unleash that slash, something even worse would happen, wouldn't it? Am I right?"

How did he know…?

Yokotani almost lost his smile, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Saqiu glanced at him again and said calmly:

"The triumph turned into fear and surprise. It seems I was right. I can't attack the guards directly."

"Varied……"

Yokotani completely abandoned any attempt to control his expression; his face turned deathly pale.

"Mind reading?"

Upon seeing this, Ma Dou suddenly roared:

"Calm down, Yokotani! He's just playing tricks. Look, his area of ​​operation is getting smaller and smaller. In a little while, he'll have to make a move to force those soldiers to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Yokotani took a closer look.
