Bokuson: "Are you going to keep spouting nonsense?"

Rei-en Washimiya: "Alright, alright, I know, you real culprit! With your personality, if you weren't so handsome, who would even want you!"

Washimiya Reien: "[Image 1]".

Washimiya Reien: "[Image 2]".

……

Washimiya Reien: "[Image 12]".

Ekigami Mausoleum: "These are the photos I took. The first six photos are of the King's Army's standard transport vehicle from various angles, weighing about 5 tons."

Washimiya Reien: "The seventh picture shows the tire dents of the transport vehicle as it passed through a muddy area. Subtracting the weight of the transport vehicle itself, we can roughly estimate that the weight of the cargo on the vehicle was around two tons."

Rei-en Washimiya: "The eighth picture is of the co-pilot. Judging from the stock of the rifle he is holding, it is the latest model G36 Koch assault rifle, which weighs 6.36 pounds and has a 20-inch barrel. To be equipped with this kind of weapon, he must be a special forces soldier."

Washimiya Reien: "The ninth to twelfth photos are all taken with a pinhole camera, showing a corner of the cargo inside the vehicle. Although they are not clear, you can roughly tell from the texture and color that there are oil paintings, stone slabs, ancient coins, some kind of silk products, etc."

Washimiya Reien: "Oh right, the license plates of the cars in the photos have been blurred out. I don't want to go to jail either, but I can tell you that a total of 7 military vehicles passed by. The weight of the cargo carried by each vehicle was different, and it added up to about 10 tons. It may not be anything of value, since it was all counted in tons."

Washimiya Reien: "As for where the convoy is going, don't ask me. I doubt you'll find anyone in the whole city who can tell you."

Bokuson: "You're pretty professional here. Are you fishing?"

Rei-en Washimiya: "Don't try to trick me into saying anything!"

Bokuson: "..."

Bokuson transferred 700 forum coins to Washimiya Reien.

Dia thoughtfully handed the phone back to Poxon:

"Who do you think this guy is?"

Pokson shook his head and said:

"Judging from her words, the other party is quite familiar with the military, but although she seems professional, she is not beyond the level of a civilian enthusiast."

"The information she revealed was just right between enthusiasts and professionals, neither here nor there, ambiguous, and it was impossible to discern her identity."

"The Yin Jian Forum has been established for quite some time, and its backend is highly confidential. Even my friends in the cyber army cannot monitor these tens of thousands of backends in real time, so these conversations should not have been exposed yet."

In other words, the identity of this Washimiya Reien is completely undetermined, but she is suspected of having some knowledge of the military.

Dia stroked her chin, then suddenly pointed at Poxon's phone and said:

"Send her another message."

"Just tell them I'd like to get to know them formally and stay in touch."

Pokson knew what he wanted to do, but silently held his phone up and tapped on the person's profile picture—

The information is completely blank.

"She deleted her account, and the 1000 forum coins I had just transferred to her disappeared without a trace."

"Poxon said."

The implications of this are quite subtle.

Another random guy has appeared...

Dia rubbed his face, looking exasperated, and said:

"At least in some sense, there's a good chance that what this guy said is true, but his motives are debatable."

Pokson nodded and put his phone away.

"Although I don't know how she got in touch with me, she went to the trouble of delivering this information to us, so she certainly won't just leave it unattended. Otherwise, if we remain inactive, she will definitely not achieve her goal."

"In other words, she will most likely continue to try to contact us. As long as we stay calm and take it slow, we can succeed."

Dia nodded, but her thoughts drifted to the goods that were faintly visible in the pictures.

At this time, what kind of person would command the army's transport units just to transport some random miscellaneous items?

Where did all those bottles, jars, and miscellaneous goods come from, and what is their value?

A vague intuition pulled Dia's thoughts forward, through one seemingly reasonable conjecture after another, and one inspiration after another.

But he still couldn't get his thoughts straight.

The anomaly was so obvious that he couldn't connect it with what was happening before him.

He could only wait.

Dia had a premonition that the moment that would inspire him and give him a hint would not be far off.

"Ugh—!"

Feitan's face was contorted with rage. He was shirtless, cold sweat dripping from his short, center-parted hair as he let out a low growl like a wild beast. His narrow eyes were filled with malice.

His right hand held a gleaming, sharp knife, which he was slowly cutting into the socket of his left eye, removing the rotten flesh inside.

With each inch the dagger cut, the venomous shadow in Feitan's intact right eye deepened. If he were to unleash his Nen ability at this moment, his power would likely be even greater.

Shila-

A spurt of blood shot out, Feitan's right pupil shrank to a point, and the intense pain almost made him explode on the spot!

Feitan, who developed the ability "Unforgivable Sinner", did not actually undergo in-depth training in terms of resistance to blows and pain tolerance.

His ability, "Unforgivable Sinner - Scorched by the Sun," allows him to transform the pain he suffers into a blazing sun, returning it to his enemies tenfold.

Based on this ability, Feitan even deliberately strengthened his pain receptors so that he could multiply the power of his moves in battle.

This perverse pursuit of pain has caused him immense suffering at this moment.

After a while, Feitan, who had finished treating himself, was panting heavily. He wrapped his eyes with gauze, picked up his umbrella sword with a skull on it, and walked out of the hut.

This is a villa on the middle floor. The previous owner of the villa was killed by Uvogin, and now only the remnants of the Phantom Troupe live there.

In the villa's garden.

Finks stood there, calmly raising his left fist to examine it closely. His right hand had completely disappeared, leaving only an arm.

Opposite him, Uvogin's massive body huddled in a pavilion, silently staring at the ground, his mood extremely low.

"How's it going with the regimental commander?"

Feitan completely ignored the dejected Uvogin and instead bluntly asked Phinks:

"Is it really that hard to kill a cripple? [Even if they are a teammate, if they drag the team down, we should abandon them without hesitation], isn't that what the leader himself said?"

"Is he going to keep dragging his feet like this, when will he ever get revenge? Is he going to keep putting it off until the enemy attacks?"

Phinks glanced at the impatient Feitan and said:

"Stop talking big. Who are you looking to take revenge on? Weren't those soldiers who injured you and me with those strange weapons already burned to death by you? Or are you going to kill all the troops here?"

"They probably went to give them the bounty!"

"you!"

Feitan was enraged by Phinks's unhesitating reopening of old wounds and almost drew his sword to duel him.

But his gaze eventually settled on Phinks's empty right hand, and he fell silent again.

Yesterday, when facing the King's army's magnetic weapons, those elite soldiers accurately locked onto Feitan's forehead.

At that moment, Feitan was in the air and unable to gain any support. He was about to be killed on the spot by several soldiers when Phinks pushed him, which turned his immediate death into the loss of only one eye.

The price was that Fink's right hand was blown off.

If Machi were still alive, perhaps he could be reconnected, but Machi is long dead.

In other words, until Phinks finds the Nen ability to regenerate severed limbs, he will have to remain in this disabled state.

None of them could have predicted that they would end up like this.

Before setting off, they thought that the group of people were just ordinary people, and that at the very least, they could run away.

Who knew that the technological level of these major powers would develop so rapidly? In a moment of carelessness, Feitan and his companions were completely caught off guard and nearly died at the hands of a few soldiers with no Nen abilities.

"Hey, is your [Return to Heaven] only usable with your right hand? It's not going to become useless, is it?"

Although Feitan is cold and heartless, he has a fairly good relationship with Phinks.

Now that the opponent has lost an arm due to his own negligence, even a cold-blooded monster like Feitan doesn't have the face to vent his anger on Phinks.

Feitan's question at this moment, though seemingly sarcastic, is actually a form of indirect concern.

Phinks's [Return to Heaven] effect is very simple: swinging his arm once will gather some energy in his fist until all the potential and manifest energy is brought out and concentrated in his fist, making its power far exceed the ordinary.

Before Phinks lost his right hand, Feitan had never seen him use his left fist, so he was curious whether Phinks' ability could only be activated with his right fist.

If that's the case, then Phinks would also be considered one of the "burdens" Feitan just mentioned.

Fortunately, Phinks calmly shook his head, lowered his left hand, and said:

"Of course, the [Return to Heaven] can also be activated with the left hand, but I am used to using my right hand. If I switch to the left hand, neither the speed nor the power will be as good as the right hand."

Although he said that, Finks looked at his left hand, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful look, and also with a kind of determination.

Seeing that Phinks was deep in thought, Feitan didn't want to embarrass himself by interfering.

He turned to look at the silent Uvogin.

Ever since they learned of Nobunaga's death, the other party has been acting the same way; you'd think his parents had died.

However, Feitan is not worried that Uvogin will be unable to recover.

He knew Uvogin's personality; the more silent a person was, the more powerful his future outbursts would be.

In the ensuing silence, the three waited listlessly.

Waiting for Kuroro to appear.

In an empty room of the villa, Kuroro lowered his head and looked at Pakunoda on the bed.

He vaguely felt his heart melting.

Parker's spine was shattered by a bullet from a magnetically guided weapon, leaving him paralyzed on the spot, with only his head able to move.

"Kuroro, it's almost time. I feel like I'm coming to an end."
