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

Chapter 186 Is Lynn a Liar? Like a God Descending!

Jin has always wanted to go to the Dark Continent, but he has never been able to, and this is related to that.

He could have used methods similar to smuggling, but Chairman Netero anticipated this and made an agreement with him.

Netero granted him certain privileges, allowing him to avoid many problems and receive the green light in many areas, letting him do whatever he wanted.

However, he needs to go to the Dark Continent according to official requirements, which means he needs permission from the Ferry Hall, and there are several levels to pass.

In fact, the Watari Agency had no intention of sending anyone else to the Dark Continent.

So Jin hasn't even passed the first hurdle yet.

If it weren't for the plans of Byand and the Kakin Empire, Jin would never have been able to travel to the Dark Continent.

There are two main reasons why the Ferry Administration makes things so difficult for those who want to go to the Dark Continent.

One reason is to protect their own interests.

The Dark Continent holds many hopes; it is a vast treasure trove, and powerful nations are unwilling to let others obtain it.

Secondly, it was to ensure the stability of the six continents.

While the Dark Continent may offer much hope, it is also plagued by countless calamities.

V5 sent out personnel 149 times, with only 5 personnel returning alive.

But each of these five times brought back "disasters," which is the origin of the five major disasters of the six continents.

This has made V5 increasingly wary of the Dark Continent, and they are currently able to stabilize the situation.

However, as more and more people travel to the Dark Continent, they will inevitably bring back more "disasters".

When that time comes, this small island in Lake Möbius will inevitably become part of the Dark Continent.

Humans will have nowhere to live.

This is one of the reasons why V5 ​​tries its best to control the number of people going there.

Of course, this is the problem that you would have to face if you were to follow the normal V5 path and use the power of the [Gatekeeper]. If you were to use a private method, there would be no problem.

With such a vast ocean area, it's impossible for V5 to completely encircle all six continents and prevent anyone from leaving.

But V5 isn't worried about this, because the success rate of smuggling is almost zero!

Lake Möbius is extremely dangerous; it is an unknown and perilous sea area, and venturing there rashly will only lead to death.

Unless there is a gatekeeper to help.

The Gatekeepers are located at the border between Lake Möbius and the Dark Continent. They are also the only intelligent race on the Dark Continent that can communicate with the other six continents.

They are very familiar with Lake Möbius, know all the dangerous sea areas, and can lead humans to the Dark Continent via the safest route.

V5's exploration over the years has relied on the power of the gatekeeper; otherwise, it would have been impossible to send out teams 149 times in a row.

He also plans to travel to the Dark Continent in the future. Whether or not he should borrow the power of the gatekeeper is another matter, but he is quite interested in the location of the V5 Ferry Hall.

V5 Terminal Hall has always been a very mysterious place.

Only a very small number of people working there, or high-ranking officials from a few major countries, know the location.

Some people say they don't have a fixed location and move around every now and then.

Some people say they built the site underground somewhere, so deep that no one has discovered it yet.

Countries around the world attach great importance to the secrecy of the Navigation Agency, and even on hunter-only websites, there is very little relevant information.

Therefore, some people even believe that this organization does not exist at all, and that only a small number of people know that the Watari Agency actually exists.

The ferry terminal is a very unique place; you might even encounter a special feature.

After setting this goal briefly, Lynn and the others followed Nob's footsteps and entered through the entrance one after another.

underwater.

The place that should have been filled with seawater was transformed by some mysterious force into a space where people can move around normally.

Like a bubble blown by a child, there is an invisible barrier separating the inside from the outside.

The interior was dimly lit, with only a few exploration lights providing illumination.

More than forty people are gathered in this small open space.

Besides Jin and Pjorn, there were two other exploration teams from V5, one from the United States of Saherta and the other from the Kingdom of Ancient Ganyu.

Although the other three countries did not send any special personnel, the arrival of the V5 Navigation Agency was sufficient. The Navigation Agency's specialists would transmit the intelligence they obtained back, and the V5 countries would share the information.

What blocked their way was a stone gate.

It is described as a suspected one because it is almost integrated with the rock face and is covered with a rather astonishing aura of death.

-

To the naked eye, the Death Thought had transformed from a common gas into a solid, resembling a large smear of ink on the stone door, exuding a cold and eerie aura that sent chills down one's spine just by looking at it.

In order to further explore this suddenly discovered location, the United Kingdom of Saherta and the Kingdom of Guganyu each brought two exorcists. The four of them continued to exorcise the spirits for half a month, but the results were not satisfactory.

As the days went by, the exorcists lost their faith and patience.

"I already said that!"

"There's absolutely no way to get rid of so many suicidal thoughts."

Keith, a blond man with a nose stud and dressed in hip-hop style clothing, stopped dancing and complained loudly. Immediately afterward, the purifying notes made of thought disappeared.

Keith gasped for breath, his chest heaving, staring at the seemingly insurmountable stone gate, like a "Wall of Sighs," his teeth itching with hatred.

Seeing that Keith had stopped, the other three exorcists also ceased their actions.

Keith spoke their minds; they truly didn't want to continue like this any longer.

Seeing this, countless eyes fell on the four exorcists.

If they go on strike, this mission will truly be over before it even begins.

In the corner, Kim and Pjorn were also watching silently.

"Keith, hang in there a little longer," Leo, the captain of the Ancient Ganyu Kingdom, said in a deep voice.

He had a thick, golden beard, was shirtless, and carried two giant axes in his hands, exuding a wild and untamed power.

Keith is an exorcist from the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

"Hey, you saw that too, right? This is an impossible task!" Keith rolled his eyes, pointed his right index finger at the stone door, and said angrily, "The four of us have been working hard for half a month, and we've only managed to grind away one-tenth!"

"Exorcising thoughts is no child's play, especially since this is a dead thought. We who exorcise thoughts have to pay the price!"

"The four of us are all nearing our limit now. No matter what you say, we can't continue."

Leo sighed helplessly. He knew that eliminating the spirit was not easy, and everyone had seen the efforts of Keith and the others over the past two weeks.

But these four are already among the world's top exorcists; even they can only do this much?

Keith crossed his arms and shook his head: "You should go back and report. This is simply an impossible mission."

"Also, I'm going on vacation after I go back, and I won't be able to work for a year."

"If we had more exorcists, would we still have a chance?" Leo was unwilling to give up, and then looked at Jin not far away. "Jin, you said you would bring an exorcist, right?"

Where is he?

For a moment, everyone's attention fell on the golden body sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Jin remained expressionless, simply replying, "Nob has gone to pick him up now."

"Useless, what use is one person?" Keith waved his hand dismissively, then began to lecture, "I'm telling you, do you even know what exorcism is?"

"Even if you don't know, you should at least be able to keep track of it, right?"

"The four of us are exhausted, and we've only managed to shake off this few suicidal thoughts. What good would one more person do?"

"Let's find at least a few dozen more exorcists. Of course, whether we can find any is another matter."

2

While Keith's words may be a bit of an exaggeration, the difficulty is indeed immense, and most importantly, the effort and reward are disproportionate.

Perhaps spending more time and finding more exorcists can solve the problem, but in the following period of time, the efficiency of these exorcists will be greatly reduced, which may easily lead to unnecessary losses.

This is just a special location, only it has been targeted because of the large number of dead thoughts. Nobody knows what's inside, so it's not worth going to great lengths until the situation is clear.

It seems this operation will have to end prematurely, a thought shared by everyone, including Captain Leo.

There was nothing I could do; I was blocked at the door and couldn't get in. Whose fault was that?

At this moment, the entrance that had been set up in advance on the ground was opened.

Has the person arrived yet?

Although they believed that one person couldn't make much of a difference in the situation, everyone still looked over with curiosity.

Who will be the exorcist that Jin invites?

The exorcists, including Keith, were also very curious.

Exorcists are rare talents on the six continents, with only a few dozen known to exist. Most of the top exorcists who have been famous for a long time are already old and rarely take action.

Perhaps Jin managed to invite one of those people.

One after another, figures leaped out of the entrance.

These people were all specialists from the Wataribushi (Imperial Navigation Agency), including an elderly exorcist brought by the Wataribushi.

The old man was dressed in a robe with an unknown pattern and wore a small wooden hat. When the old man appeared, everyone's spirits lifted.

Keith looked surprised and took the initiative to greet him: "I didn't expect it to be you, Master Everett."

Everett, a renowned master in the exorcist circle, has thirty years of experience in exorcism. He alone is worth several exorcists.

I didn't expect Jin to bring him along this time; it seems he values ​​this operation very much.

"I am merely fulfilling a request entrusted to me," Master Everett nodded slightly and said softly. Then, upon seeing the stone gate not far away, his eyelids twitched—this was certainly no easy task.

He originally thought this move was a sure thing, but now it seems the Navigation Agency has given him a difficult task.

With such a small number of people, they definitely can't succeed. It seems this trip has been a waste of time, Everett thought to himself.

"Hey, Jin, I didn't realize you could actually get Master Everett to come." Leo clicked his tongue at Jin; the two were fairly familiar with each other.

"You've misunderstood, he wasn't brought by me," Jin said casually as he stood up, stretched, and yawned.

Wasn't it someone Jin found?

So it was these immigration officers who brought them?

Where is the exorcist that Jin invited?

As they spoke, Lynn and Nob leaped out of the entrance.

For a moment, many scrutinizing gazes fell on the two, especially on Lynn, whose expression remained calm. There was silence at first, and then someone suddenly spoke up.

"Lin En, the exorcist?"

It was none other than Lynn, who was currently very famous!

The feedback from his newfound fame was evident; everyone present recognized Lynn, whereas before he would have been mistaken for an unknown nobody.

That guy Jin actually managed to invite Lynn over.

Lynn is now known as the "world's strongest exorcist" because his feat of removing the death spirit from the Sares ruins by himself is too astonishing.

Of course, since the vast majority of people were not present and witnessed it firsthand, only Pjorn and others were alive and saw it.

Bisge, Leorio, and two others were involved, so some people have doubts about this story.

When something is too far beyond common sense, people are more likely to question its authenticity unless they see it with their own eyes.

Especially those within the circle of exorcists.

Others who are not exorcists may not have a clear understanding of this matter, but exorcists like Keith know very well how impossible this is.

The Sares Ruins are known as the "Dead Land," and many exorcists have come to observe it. If the death energy contained there were compressed into one piece, it would be no less than the death energy contained in the stone gate in front of them.

The legend that Lynn single-handedly eradicated the deathly thoughts from the Sares ruins within half a month is definitely wrong somewhere.

They prefer to believe that something happened inside the ruins that caused the death to vanish.

Even if Lynn could actually achieve that, she shouldn't still be alive and kicking; she would have to pay a huge price.

But Lynn is still alive and well, showing no signs of having suffered any great loss.

In other words, many exorcists viewed Lynn as more of a fraud.

No, he's a fraud.

Lynn casually glanced around the field and found that there were quite a few people there.

There were about sixty people in total.

However, they were all stopped by that stone door filled with deathly intent.

Kim and Pjorn approached Lynn, and Kim said, "Lynn is the exorcist I invited. Don't give up yet, let's try again."

Two exorcists—does this really work?

The others had a question mark in their minds.

Regardless of whether Lynn's abilities are real or not, even with these two more people, they probably still wouldn't be able to solve the Stone Gate problem; it would all be a waste of effort.

Everett stared intently at Lynn, a look of shock flashing in his slightly cloudy eyes. He subconsciously took a half step back, and tears welled up in his eyes as he was overcome with emotion.

He was born into an ethnic minority and is a natural Nen user whose Nen ability is to remove Nen. He also developed a branch of Nen ability due to his ethnic beliefs.

He could see the aura of good and evil, but the waiting time was a bit long, so he only saw Lynn's condition now.

If someone does something that might cause them to contemplate death, such as cruelly killing a living being, then in his eyes that person will have a dark aura. The more evil deeds they do, the darker the aura becomes.

Conversely, if someone does something to eliminate thoughts of death, then they will see a radiant aura.

At this moment, Lynn shone brightly in his eyes!

It was as if a god had descended!
