Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 182 The Pig That Fell From the Sky! Jin's Invitation!

An unsettling atmosphere permeated the square, instilling fear in many even from a distance.

Evil and ominous.

This was the strongest feeling they sensed from the blood-red cocoon.

"What the hell is this thing?" the hot-tempered Kang Jae couldn't help but frown. At first glance, it looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.

As a senior figure with extensive experience, Bisji stared at the large, blood-red cocoon, her expression shifting slightly. She had a guess in her mind, but she was still unsure whether her guess was correct.

"Whatever it is, it must be dealt with." Gai Lu stepped forward and said solemnly, her tone heavy. "The capital cannot withstand a second blow; we cannot afford any more casualties."

Even so, Gail knew she couldn't act rashly; this strange thing made of deathly thoughts had to be handled with extreme caution.

Because the thought of death is irrational, it could easily lead to a disastrous disaster if one is not careful.

So we can't let Lynn take the risk, even though he's very good at removing death thoughts.

After a moment's hesitation, Gai Lu took out her phone, a hint of helplessness flashing in her snake-like eyes: "There's someone who might know how to handle this, but I'm not sure if he'll answer the phone."

"After all, that person isn't exactly reliable."

Make a phone call.

Beep beep————

ntm nt

Unexpectedly, the call was answered very quickly, which surprised Gail, who had not had much hope.

A violent whistling sound came from the other end of the phone, as if it were moving at high speed, with a strong wind constantly sweeping past.

Before Gai Lu could speak, she heard a steady, powerful, and exceptionally clear voice.

"Wait two minutes."

After saying that, the phone was abruptly and decisively hung up.

Gai Lu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She hadn't even said a word before the other party hung up on her. That was too fast.

"Wait for me for two minutes"—what does that mean? An incredulous thought popped into Gail's mind: Could he be on his way?

Did that guy Kim foresee tonight's events?

"I think I just heard that bastard Kim's voice." Kang Jae raised an eyebrow and asked impatiently.

call-

Is that bastard Kim about to arrive?

Gailu nodded slightly: "Yes, the other party is Jin."

Seeing this, everyone realized that Gailu's phone call was actually to the famous Pig of the Twelve Earthly Branches, Jin Fulishi!

Of course, there are good and bad reputations. There are quite a few people who consider Kim a scoundrel, but most of them can only talk about it and don't dare to actually mess with him.

After all, although this guy has a terrible style of doing things, he is really strong.

Is the gold coming soon?

Lynn's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected to meet Jin at this time, and what surprised him even more was that Jin had arrived so quickly. He wondered how Jin had gotten advance notice.

"Ging, that Ging Freecss?" Leorio exclaimed in surprise, exchanging a glance with Kurapika beside him. The two, realizing what was happening, exclaimed in unison, "Gon's dad!"

In other words, they will soon be able to meet the extremely mysterious Xiao Jie's father!

They all knew that a large part of the reason why Xiao Jie left Whale Island to participate in the Hunter Exam was to find his father, Jin, whom he had never met.

"I can't believe we've already met Ging before Gon even found him—" Leorio said with a surprised expression, turning his head to whisper in Kurapika's ear, "I wonder what kind of person Gon's father is."

"Yes, it's really amazing." Kurapika nodded in amazement, then hesitated, glancing at the displeased Kangzai, and whispered, "But judging from Kangzai and the others, Gon's father doesn't seem to have a very good reputation—"

"Thinking about it, what kind of reputation can a father who doesn't even see his own son have?" Leorio shrugged and said helplessly.

"It's a pity about Xiao Jie. If he were here, he could have seen his dad."

Suddenly, a shadow swept by.

Everyone looked up at the same time and saw a four-winged sub-dragon-like magical beast with two pairs of wings flying across the sky.

Is the gold right there?

However, the monster simply flew away without stopping.

Where is the gold?

At this moment, Lynn turned his body slightly to the side and looked behind everyone, his gaze falling on a figure walking towards them.

Only then did everyone belatedly turn around and see an unusual figure come into view.

The man was dressed in a greyish-white robe and had a dark scarf around his neck.

What's most striking is his hair, which he tied up with a towel, with a few strands peeking out, making it look messy.

He has a handsome face, but he doesn't like to take care of it, resulting in a fine stubble around his face, but his eyes are bright and piercing!

If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were quite clean, he would most likely be mistaken for a homeless person.

It was Kim Freecss who made his unexpected appearance!

Just when everyone thought he would disembark from the flying monster, he suddenly appeared behind them.

In fact, he landed ahead of time, found a corpse that had lost its will to die, studied it briefly, and got a general understanding of the situation before arriving at the plaza.

Jin put his hands in his pockets, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then walked silently to the front of the line amidst a variety of different gazes, staring at the blood-red cocoon.

This is—Xiao Jie's father!

Leorio and Kurapika stared intently at Ging, scrutinizing him, before exchanging a frown—what a slovenly man.

"Is he really Gon's father?" Leorio couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He couldn't see any resemblance between Kim and Jet Li.

"If I had to say—it's his eyes," Kurapika murmured, his eyes very similar to Gon's, that focused look.

Jin's ears twitched slightly. Although he didn't speak, he heard both of their voices. Were they Xiao Jie's friends?

"Jin, what are you doing in the capital?" Kang Zai rushed forward and asked urgently.

Jin then broke the principle of "silence is golden" and spoke in a very straightforward and annoying way: "It's a long story, and I don't think you have the patience to listen to the whole process, so I won't waste my time."

This guy.

Kang Jae glared at Kim. He really didn't want to be around Kim because the guy's way of talking always made him uncomfortable.

Although what he said was true —

"You all leave here. I guarantee there won't be anyone within a kilometer radius, except—" Kim ignored Kang Jae and addressed the crowd, then looked at Lynn with piercing eyes, "You're Lynn, right? Stay and help me out?"

"Okay," Lynn readily agreed.

Everyone understood that the next round was a high-level game, and only Kim and Lynn were qualified to participate. The best help was for everyone else to stay away.

After everyone left, Jin gave Lynn a very simple self-introduction: "Nice to meet you, I'm Jin."

"Those two people who manipulated death thoughts died at your hands, didn't they?"

Lynn nodded slightly, then asked curiously, "How did you determine that?"

Jin looked at the blood-red cocoon not far away, showing little sign of anxiety. He remained calm and composed, speaking slowly, "Because you are the only one in this city capable of dealing with those two Satans."

Let me give you a simple explanation.

"I happened to discover some clues during my investigation, so I went to the capital of Reges, and that's why I'm standing in front of you now."

""

The two people you met tonight belong to a rare and powerful race called the Satanic. They worship a demon king and possess the power to control death.

"Every so often, Satan's people will travel across the six continents. They will place something called the Seed of Death, also known as the Demon Embryo, in densely populated areas, using people's lives to nourish the Demon Embryo, and then collect the Demon Embryo."

"When a demonic fetus grows to a certain stage, it can form what the Satanic people call a 'demon child,' which is often very powerful."

"But there is a prerequisite: one must not die while the Satanic people are spreading the demonic fetus, otherwise the demonic fetus will most likely go out of control and become a product of uncontrolled death thoughts, just like this big cocoon."

"The appearance of the giant cocoon here means that the Satanic people are dead, and tonight in the capital, only you can do this."

Jin looked at Lynn, his tone clearly showing admiration.

Lynn's ability to exorcise spirits was even greater than he had anticipated, as he had managed to deal with two Satans without sustaining any injuries.

But that wasn't the only thing that surprised him.

From the moment he arrived, he paid close attention to Lynn, and his senses further alerted him to Lynn!

A faint red glow, visible only to him, shone on Lynn's body.

His perception is divided into three colors.

Harmless green.

Yellow has some strength, but still poses no threat.

A red that could hurt him, or even kill him!

Lynn's color is light red, which means that Lynn could potentially hurt him if conditions allow!

Don't underestimate the fact that he was only injured. Fighting Nen users is no simple matter. Being able to injure them might be the key to advancing further. This is something we absolutely need to pay attention to.

While it might seem like self-promotion, it's undeniable that very few people on the Six Continents can do this, and today Lynn is one of them.

Lynn's strength and the potential threat he posed were far beyond his expectations, something he hadn't anticipated at all.

This renowned exorcist is truly a master of disguise.

What an interesting person — Jin's eyes gleamed slightly.

He is a powerful exorcist with exceptional exorcism abilities, ranking among the world's top, and also possesses top-tier combat power.

These two identities, which are considered to be opposites in the public eye, appear in the same person.

Mind Masters are rare, but he has seen some, and among them, Lynn is the most powerful, arguably the best.

While Jin was sizing up Lynn, Lynn was also paying attention to this seemingly "unruly" protagonist of Xiao Jie's search for his father, one of the top combatants of the six continents.

Kim has many titles, but the most famous is the Pig of the Twelve Earthly Branches, and one of the world's five greatest Nen users.

It's uncertain which stage it belongs to, but it's definitely within the S-class range. And it's even stronger than the current old man Netero, who is old and frail. It might even be S-class.

Jin continued, "The reason I can be sure it's two people is because the size of this cocoon doesn't seem like something a single demonic fetus could form, so I guessed it was two people."

"A corpse-thinking incident occurred in the capital tonight. To achieve this goal, two conditions need to be met: controlling others and having a strong ability to spread the virus. I'm afraid these are the abilities possessed by those two demonic fetuses."

"The life form being conceived within this giant cocoon is very likely to inherit both of these abilities, so I'm only allowing you, who possesses the ability to exorcise Nen, to remain here, and no one else is needed."

Jin had only been in the capital of Reges for a short time when he quickly analyzed the process and the result, arriving at a highly accurate judgment.

"Your assessment is absolutely correct," Lynn nodded in confirmation. "So, what should we do with this large cocoon?"

Jin replied without hesitation, "This large cocoon can also be called a demonic embryo. It has absorbed the lives of many people and is in a state of out of control. It only wants to evolve into a demonic child based on its instincts."

"But it's clear that not many people died tonight. You must have dealt with those two Satans quite early on, so this demonic embryo didn't absorb enough energy and therefore couldn't evolve."

"Of course, even so, it is still a product of death, and there would be risks in taking any rash action. What we need to do is wait."

"When it detects a lack of energy, it will prematurely condense into a semi-finished product and actively attack humans to plunder their lives."

"That is, premature babies."

"If it were a real demon child, it would be troublesome to deal with, but it's just a demon fetus, so you don't need to worry."

""

"I'll handle it in a bit; you'll be responsible for clearing away the deathly thoughts it's escaping."

As he spoke, Jin reached his right hand into his robe, rummaged around, and pulled out a clean-looking apple: "Hey, want an apple?"

Lynn glanced at Jin's slovenly appearance and the apple, which, although clean, didn't look appetizing, and shook her head: "No need, you eat it."

"Fine." Jin didn't care and took a bite, making a crisp sound, leaving a clear tooth mark on the apple.

Jin sat down cross-legged, chewed twice and swallowed, then got down to business: "Actually, my trip here wasn't just to resolve this matter; I have another purpose."

"I have something I'd like to ask if you're interested."

Have you heard of the Dark Continent?

The Dark Continent? Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow: "I've heard of it. It's the real world beyond the six continents."

"Now that you know, it's easier to communicate." Jin said while eating an apple. "We've discovered a strange place on the western seabed of the continent of Yurubian, which seems to be related to the Dark Continent, so I'd like to invite you to join our team."

Jin explained the ins and outs and introduced the team members. He believed that quality was more important than quantity, and that everyone should have their own role. Four people was a good choice.

Therefore, he invited Piyon, an ancient text hunter whose Nen ability allows him to explore information about unknown things, and Nob, who can create four-dimensional spaces and is extremely supportive.

Finally, there is Lynn, who possesses top-tier exorcism abilities and immense strength.
