Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Chapter 458 Night Raid × Smuggling into the Dark Continent! ?

The night is deep.

The Milky Way flows, and countless stars hang in the sky, silently looking down on the human world. Soft moonlight shines through the window frame, and the curtains flutter gently in the wind.

The green-haired girl leaned against the windowsill, feeling the cool and refreshing night breeze on her face. Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, with strands occasionally being blown by the wind.

She gazed at the moonlight, lost in thought.

"Ugh……"

After a long while, she let out a silent sigh.

Liking someone and that person liking you back should be something to be happy about, so why has it turned out like this?

Turning her head, Qiduo saw the full-length mirror in the corner.

The girl in the mirror wore a white tulle dress, with delicate features and a scholarly air, but her eyes held an unyielding melancholy.

Liking is indivisible; liking that can be separated means it's not liking enough.

Upon closer examination, I realized that it was only without realizing it that the image of Dia had appeared in my mind.

All those shared experiences, his spirited demeanor, his silent and powerful presence, and his excellence that his peers could not match.

Everything was catalyzing the deterioration of her emotions.

But liking someone is a two-way street, what about him?

Does he like himself enough?

Ultimately, it's because he didn't like her enough, but that's not his fault. There's no law that says "not liking Qi Duo enough" is illegal.

But she needs to figure out why, otherwise, will things continue like this?

"Is it... lack of charm?"

Qiduo grabbed the hem of her long dress and twirled in front of the mirror, like a morning glory bud about to bloom.

The girl in the mirror spun around and around until she was sure she was still beautiful, then she stopped.

"I don't like girls like that. You have no taste! Focus your attention on me!"

Qi Duo grumbled angrily, but her gaze unconsciously drifted to her chest, which was bulging with anger, and her ribs could be vaguely seen under her dress.

"...I still have to ask."

Recalling how she had been constantly being called out during the day, the girl made a quick decision, left her room, and headed towards Dia's room.

She had to make him understand quickly that pursuing this distorted aesthetic excessively was problematic, and that as a hunter, one needed to maintain a physique suitable for combat at all times.

At this point, Keita had deliberately ignored the existence of her friend Gal, who was also a member of the Zodiac.

She walked to the front of Dia's room.

Qiduo initially wanted to push the door open and enter, but after looking at her outfit, she hesitated.

'Isn't this outfit a bit too thin? What if he...'

After all, she was just a weak woman, and if Diya insisted, she couldn't resist.

However, if he doesn't do anything, that's a different story.

"Humph!"

Qi Duo snorted coldly and cautiously pushed open the door.

The room in front of us was rather dim.

The windows were blocked by curtains, so the moonlight couldn't shine in and the situation inside the room couldn't be clearly seen.

However, this is nothing to Nen users with exceptional eyesight.

Qiduo quietly walked in, unconsciously clutching the hem of her skirt.

There was a sense of peace and reassurance in the air.

"call……"

Qiduo took a deep breath, and only when the breath filled her lungs did she begin to hypnotize herself that she had not come to launch a night raid, but to correct Dia's wrong ideas.

He then turned his gaze to the bed.

The red hardwood bed was quiet, with the blanket being pushed up by something, leaving an outline.

The girl's first thought was that he was still sleeping.

But the next moment, she realized that Dia's vigilance couldn't be that bad, and—

Her body shape is wrong; she's too petite.

It's practically the same as Mumu Sawa...

Qiduo: ? ?

In an instant, her eyes changed completely, becoming empty and filled with an extremely deep coldness and darkness.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiduo rushed forward, grabbed the edge of the blanket, and then yanked it back!

The poor blanket flew around in the air once before landing limply on the ground.

Dressed lightly, Mumu Ze lay quietly on the bed and opened her eyes.

Dark black eyes met emerald green eyes.

"What did you do, Mumu Ze?"

……

In fact, Mumu Ze also missed his target.

When she arrived, Dia had already quietly left.

I didn't tell anyone, and no one found out.

This is, of course, thanks to Miss Poker.

"Is this the place?"

Pokson grabbed Dia's hand, their fingers intertwined, and pretended to look around nonchalantly as he spoke.

Her reddened ears actually betrayed her nervousness.

This was the first time they had ever held hands like lovers; before, they had only ever held onto Diya's arm.

Does this mean their relationship has taken a step further?

"Let me see... 102 Port Pollo Road... This is it, thank you for your help, Poker."

After checking the doorplate and confirming it was correct, Dia thanked them and naturally grabbed Poxon's arm, leading them to the door.

This is a dark alley.

On the stone-paved steps, there is a very simple steel security door, covered in rust that almost blocks the keyhole.

Looking up, you can see the entire building.

It was an ordinary, shabby little house, mostly shaded by the residential buildings next door. The white walls of the exterior had almost completely peeled off, revealing red bricks underneath. The windows on the walls let in a dim, warm light, indicating that someone still lived inside.

But anyone who sees it will only think that the house belongs to some poor, struggling family, the kind that no one visits all year round.

dong dong dong-

He extended his finger and knocked on the door three times in a rhythmic pattern.

After a while, a familiar voice came from inside, speaking in a very serious tone:

"signal?"

"Open the door."

"signal!"

"If you don't open the door, I'll break your neck."

squeak-

The security door was slowly opened, and dim light streamed through the crack, illuminating the person who opened it. The shadow cast on the ground resembled a strange bird's head.

Sherlock made a welcoming gesture, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over the clasped hands of Dia and Poxon, before letting out a soft chuckle:

"You already have Xiao Qi, yet you're still flirting with other girls. Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you?"

"She already knew."

Dia, without looking to the side, casually said something and then pulled Poxon into the house.

The room was very bright, with several lights on as if they were free. The first thing you saw when you walked in was an old wooden table with some food and wine on it, steaming hot.

"Have you had dinner? I made it myself."

Sherlock sat down at the wooden table first and gestured for Dia to sit down as well.

After Diya helped Poxon sit down, she shook her head and said:

"I've already eaten. What do you need me for? Tell me as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry to get back."

Although Poxen next to him didn't know what had happened, he sat quietly without saying a word and didn't join the conversation.

Let Dia handle external affairs.

Sherlock nodded, his voice becoming serious:

"It won't be long. I'm going out to see some old friends soon."

"Let's get straight to the point. I've heard you have the ability to pause time?"

The lamplight flickered, illuminating Dia's serene face.

When Sherlock asked the question, he seemed both nervous and expectant, staring at Dia as if she were a rare and beautiful piece of jade.

Not just him.

Upon hearing this, Pokson couldn't help but look at Dia, his body subconsciously leaning slightly in his direction.

Although various underground intelligence reports and rumors circulated in the black market, the so-called suspension period was never officially acknowledged by Diya.
