Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Does this mean that Saqiu possesses some kind of intangible spiritual skill?

Dia secretly noted this down and said:

"Stop feeding kills. Keep a low profile for now. The pandemic should be contained soon."

Melina maintained her composed smile, her calm and deep demeanor standing out starkly from the others.

"Please take care."

When faced with the death of her companion, Melina appeared more composed than the others.

For her, who had already experienced hell, everything she was going through was just a minor setback.

At the same time, Melina also became secretly alert.

Yokotani's ability has made the "Oath and Restraint" extremely strict, and it can only be used at Melena's base.

Only under such harsh conditions could an ability like [Ink Attack] be developed, but Yokotani had already died without resistance at the hands of that hunter.

This isn't because the ability was developed incorrectly, but rather because the two abilities are worlds apart.

Similarly, the gap between them and Dia will likely only widen, so they must cling tightly to him until they truly complete their development...

After leaving the base.

For the next half day, Dia instructed Ruby to do only one thing—

Identify the streets and communities most severely affected by the current outbreak.

Then let him come in and out without any protection!

When Dia calmly made this request, everyone in Melena's group thought he was looking for people to experiment on with their lives.

Even though Dia has mentioned that she has a "miracle drug" that can cure infected people and provide temporary viral resistance.

But this claim is hard to believe, since the official virus research institute of Kakin has made no research progress to date, so how could Dia possibly have a cure?

In the end, only Ruby, whom Dia had met once before, stood up shakily, raised his hand, and claimed that he was willing to help Dia with this favor.

Dia was also quite surprised by this.

From his perspective, there was no conflict of interest between him and Ruby, and it wasn't worth the other party risking their lives.

But that's not important.

'As long as the ultimate goal is achieved...'

March 8, evening.

Diya waited silently on the sofa, her eyes as calm as a bottomless lake.

On the second floor of the imperial palace.

In the prince's room, Pokson, who had recovered thanks to the "special medicine," remained silent, keeping watch over the bored Mumu Ze.

"Hey, Poker..."

Mumu Ze, dressed in pajamas, lay on the bed with her two white legs swinging in the air, and asked boredly:

"What is Dia waiting for?"

Pokson shook his head:

“I don’t know either. He just said that this would make the current situation better.”

"It's that kind of vague talk again... This person really likes to keep everything to themselves, really..."

Mumu Ze listlessly propped his face up and complained:

"Pok, you absolutely must never fall for someone like that in the future, or you'll end up just as miserable as me~"

"..."

Pokson glanced quickly at Mumu Ze, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

What is she saying? Is she doubting me?

Although she kept badmouthing the prince in her heart, saying he was stupid, it wasn't impossible for her to deduce an answer based solely on intuition, aside from the parts that required intelligence.

Especially in the world of Nen users, intuition is a powerful tool.

Seeing that Pokson remained silent, Mumu Ze continued speaking as if nothing had happened:

"Hey, Poker, what if he waits and the person doesn't show up?"

Pokson said hesitantly:

“Um… He said that if that’s the case, it would prove that the King’s army has no value to us, and only if Your Highness goes directly to the palace to meet the King can the plan proceed.”

"Oh, I'm going to see my father, so I need to get ready."

Mumu Ze nimbly twisted his waist, flipped himself off the bed, and headed towards the wardrobe.

'Aren't you going to ask even a single question?'

Pokson hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Your Highness, aren't you curious why he wants you to see His Majesty the King?"

After all, Diya has a criminal record for forcibly entering the royal palace, or is it that Mumu Ze really doesn't care about these things?

The royal family is so cold-blooded!

Mumu Ze sat down in front of the mirror and casually said:

"It's okay, he won't hurt me."

"Even if he asked me to die, I'd be willing, he's the head of the family!"

Ring ring—

Pokson instinctively picked up his phone and answered. Momo's calm voice came from the other end:

"Pok, we have a guest. He claims to be Major Delia of the King's Army. Should we let him through?"

coming!

"Let it in."

Pokson decisively let them pass and said to Mumu Ze:

"The person Diya is waiting for has arrived. I'll go and inform him."

"Good~"

……

Major Delia stood ramrod straight and briskly at the gate, waiting for the female soldier in front to finish her report.

'Instead of hiring regular security, he's using private soldiers to guard the gate? This twelfth prince is truly...surprising.'

Delia looked at Momo and thought to herself.

This female soldier was clearly well-trained, possessing the qualities typically found in the prince's private army.

Having such private soldiers guard the gate is actually a waste of resources; it just shows how extravagant this twelfth prince is.

The door creaked open.

"Go in."

The female soldier in front of him waved her hand and said expressionlessly.

Thank you.

Delia took the lead and strode into the room.

As she walked along the long road, she fell into deep thought.

About three hours ago, she received an urgent message.

The message came from soldiers stationed in several high-risk neighborhoods—they had been deployed in advance to block population movement.

Indeed, although Delia rejected the idea of ​​a city lockdown, she came up with a compromise.

By controlling the movement of people in high-risk areas, the spread of the epidemic can be effectively contained.

Of course, those citizens would not agree to be placed under house arrest like this.

People need to work too; if this happens, I don't know how many people will lose their jobs.

Normally speaking, if these people cause trouble, it will be quite a problem; if it causes public panic, it will be even more troublesome.

But wouldn't it be enough to just prevent them from causing trouble?

Anyone who dares to go outside will be shot on the spot!

This was the order she gave to the stationed soldiers.

That's right!

Although your administrative capabilities and public support are insufficient to achieve a lockdown on the movement of people.

However, your feudalism and low human rights advantages gave you a boost!

At the same time, Delia also blocked the signal with hundreds of signal jammers.

This will ensure that news of the community lockdown doesn't leak out.

And in such a high-pressure atmosphere.

This morning, a strange-looking "street hustler" appeared on a street that was about to be included in the "lockdown area"!

The moment the man appeared, he attracted the attention of the stationed soldiers.

Because unlike other people who are timid and afraid of contact with others.

He wasn't wearing a mask, didn't seem nervous at all, and didn't deliberately keep his distance from people—he would even deliberately approach those who looked sick and strike up a conversation.

This is practically tantamount to courting death.

Several observant soldiers immediately took notice of the man and, after communicating via radio, labeled him a "dangerous individual."

The reason for this judgment is that there are indeed such people—

Although he himself was not sick, his family and friends got sick and died, and then he became psychologically twisted, wishing that everyone in the world would be infected, even at the cost of his own life.

What these people like to do most is wander around high-risk areas, and then, after thinking they are 100% infected, they go to low-risk areas and spread the virus everywhere.
