Hunter x Hunter's Nen ability!

Xia Yan didn't hesitate at all and clicked to use the prop.

In an instant, life energy began to gush out from all the pores in his body, but in less than a second, this life energy turned into invisible armor, wrapping around his skin.

The four basic practices of meditation: entanglement!

The next second, guided by the knowledge that kept emerging in his mind, Xia Yan controlled the "qi" that was wrapped around his body and began to hide inside his body.

The four great practices of chanting are absolutely perfect!

Although most people's impression of the "Jue" technique is that it can conceal breath, in fact, completely hiding the "Qi" which is essentially life energy within the body will also have a certain healing effect.

At least Xia Yan could feel that as the Qi entered his body and warmed it, the pain in his heart and brain, which seemed to be about to explode, eased a little - the injuries were now back to the point where they could be treated.

At this moment, perhaps because Xia Yan didn't notice what the system did, he found that Kamishiro Rize's body began to gradually turn into ashes and dissipated in the wind, including the kagune that stabbed his shoulder.

Seeing this, he tried to use his Qi to lock the blood vessels near his left shoulder to reduce the bleeding, while he began to walk out with his trembling right hand holding the wall.

Perhaps it was because he was no longer in a life-or-death crisis, or perhaps it was because he was in a good mood after drawing a good card, but as Xia Yan slowly walked away, an inappropriate thought flashed through his mind:

"Ah~, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover from this injury tomorrow. I guess I can't go on my date with Kato Megumi."

Chapter 34: Be nicer to Eriri from now on

I can see the lights...

Following the route Kamishiro Rize had taken him to the "food court", Xia Yan soon reached the end of the alley and could already see the brightly lit street outside where his motorcycle was parked.

but……

Xia Yan's body was leaning against the wall in the alley. He slowly slid down and sat on the ground, holding the blood-stained cell phone that had fortunately survived in his right hand.

Although there is still "qi" in the body to keep him alive, it has almost reached its limit.

Although it would be difficult to explain these injuries if he went to the hospital, Rize Kamishiro's body had disappeared for unknown reasons, so he would only be in a little trouble at most - I wonder if anyone would believe him if he said he was hit by steel bars.

Xia Yan lowered his eyes, maintained a steady breathing, and dialed the familiar hospital emergency number 119 - he didn't know if he would be nagged by the nurse again.

Just as he was thinking about all these things, suddenly, the light from the street lamp outside shone an elongated shadow into the alley.

god……

Xia Yan quickly supported himself with his right hand on the wall behind him, and almost activated the God and Demon Technique out of stress, but then he saw clearly at the intersection of the alley, and saw Ying Lili's familiar and lively twin ponytails.

"Whoo~"

He breathed a sigh of relief...

Then his anger immediately rose again, because he suddenly remembered the bad things he had done:

"Hehehe, Eriri, you don't want the news about your sketchbook to spread throughout the school, do you?"

"Hehehe, Eriri, how's the drawing of the bull-headed book I asked you to draw coming along?"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Now Xia Yan’s mind is full of his own devilish “hehehe” laughter.

So sometimes people really can't do so many bad things. For example, right now, Xia Yan was a little panicked. He couldn't help but think:

Eriri, she won't take this opportunity to stab me, right?

"You...you...what's wrong with you? What's with all this blood and these wounds?!"

Fortunately, Ying Lili was not as heartless as Xia Yan. After seeing Xia Yan's disheveled figure, half of his body was soaked in blood, she quickly grabbed the shoulder strap of her shoulder bag. She swung the bag and ran over in a panic. She squatted in front of Xia Yan and took out her cell phone from her bag: "Hospital, hospital!"

"Ha~"

When Xia Yan saw Ying Lili's attitude, he was stunned at first, and then... her swinging twin ponytails touched his nose, and he almost sneezed because of the itchiness.

But soon, he looked thoughtfully at Eriri, who was looking at him panickedly and surprisingly with a little worry.

While deeply reflecting on whether he had gone too far, he reached out and grabbed Eriri's hand as she was dialing the emergency number, and looked seriously into her beautiful blue eyes: "Eriri, can I ask you a favor?"

After a while.

"Zi La!~"

"This way, this way!"

Accompanied by the piercing sound of a car braking and Ying Lili's cries, Xia Yan, who was trying to catch his breath, opened his eyes and saw a woman in a black suit running towards him from the alley, carrying a first aid kit. And then...

Xia Yan saw that the lady suddenly stopped moving as she approached.

Although his vision seemed a little blurred due to excessive blood loss, so he couldn't see the lady's expression, he guessed that the lady's face must have been full of "Miss, take this man to the ICU immediately, maybe he can be saved, instead of calling me over to bandage his wounds..."

In fact, the female bodyguard of Eriri's family did have an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but...

"unnecessary!"

Xia Yan took a breath, then closed his eyes again and said firmly, "There's no need for disinfection, nor is there any need to clean the wound and necrotic tissue. Please just help me stop the bleeding temporarily!"

"As long as you stop the bleeding, I can find a way to recover. Please!"

Ying Lili squatted beside Xia Yan, looking back and forth at the two of them worriedly.

After hearing what Xia Yan said, the lady hesitated for a long time before she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and took out the small scissors from the first aid kit to cut open Xia Yan's shirt.

Then she looked at the shocking wound on Xia Yan's shoulder. While secretly thanking herself for asking the young lady to look away in advance, she was also surprised that the young man in front of her had a calm attitude as if he didn't feel any pain except for the unconscious muscle spasms, and the amount of bleeding from the wound was not as exaggerated as she had imagined.

This is unscientific, if what he said is true...

Noticing something peculiar about Xia Yan, the lady made up her mind and treated his wound according to Xia Yan's request. At the same time, beads of sweat kept oozing out of her forehead due to nervousness.

Seeing this, Ying Lili took out a handkerchief and helped wipe away the sweat that would affect his vision... She also helped Xia Yan wipe away the cold sweat caused by the pain.

Xia Yan looked at Eriri who was right in front of him. Her cute face showed reluctance but couldn't help revealing worry. For some reason, he wanted to laugh, but he was also seriously considering being nicer to Eriri in the future.

As for his current situation - what he just said was not to fool or to please Eriri and the others.

If Xia Yan wanted to recover from his injuries quickly and completely, all he needed was a quiet environment and a burst of inspiration in a critical moment, and he had already conceived a prototype of the telepathic ability.

……

……

Late at night, at 5-chome, Beika-cho, at Xia Yan's home.

"Don't worry, I really didn't lie to you. How about this..."

After roughly bandaging the wound, Xia Yan asked Ying Lili to do another thing - to send him home.

Here, as long as he could survive for the time being, he could have a quiet environment and quickly complete the telepathic ability he had envisioned.

Now he was sitting in his living room with a pale face, looking at Eriri in front of him, and promised with a smile: "Didn't you say that the draft of the book I asked you to draw is finished? Otherwise, why don't you show it to me tomorrow? I promise..."

"You won't see my dead body tomorrow!"

"...You...you are a bit annoying, and you even did those nasty things like using my weakness to threaten me with my sketchbook, but...but...please don't die."

Really, please be nicer to Eriri from now on.

Looking at Ying Lili, who kept looking back and finally left with a hesitant expression on her face after being persuaded by the female bodyguard who seemed to have noticed something, Xia Yan couldn't help but have this thought again.

Then Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the sofa.

At this point, this unexpected encounter with Kamishiro Rize has come to a temporary end.

……

……

A few hours ago, in Beika-cho 2-chome, at the same evening.

In front of the door of an ordinary single-family house, a dense isolation cordon has been set up.

A fat police officer in orange clothes and a round hat of the same color was having a heated argument with a handsome boy who looked like a high school student.

"Brother Kudo..."

……

Chapter 35 Case

"Brother Kudo, the impact of this case is indeed extremely serious. Our police force wants to arrest the murderer as quickly as possible, and we may indeed need your help, but please listen to my advice..."

Inspector Megure, who usually followed high school detectives or other random detectives to solve cases, and who didn't care even if he won without doing anything, now had an unprecedented serious expression on his face. He raised his hands and pressed them firmly on the shoulders of Kudo Shinichi.

"Don't ever! Don't ever even think about entering this crime scene. That's not something a child like you should be seeing!!"

"Officer Megure..."

"Listen to me! You can assist the investigators later. Whether you want photos and inspection reports of the scene, or an autopsy report, I can give them to you. In short, don't follow me now!"

Shinichi Kudo, the savior of the Neon Police, was humiliated by the police for the first time and experienced the pain of not being able to enter the crime scene to observe it in person. However, as soon as he made a sound of dissatisfaction, he was immediately interrupted by Inspector Megure.

Then Inspector Megure waved his hand and called the two police officers who were on martial law nearby, asking them to keep an eye on Kudo Shinichi.

After doing all this, he walked towards the building with a cordon behind him.

Outside the room where the crime was committed, a rookie policeman could be seen from time to time rushing out with a grim face, then picking up the vomit bag next to him and vomiting.

In the crime scene consisting of four and a half tatami mats, even though the victim's body...the main remains, had been put into a body bag and taken away, the scene was still visibly tragic.

Not only was the tatami floor soaked with the victim's blood, leaving a nearly circular mark about the height of a person, but even the walls and ceiling were splattered with large amounts of blood, and even...

Hearts, livers, lungs, fingers, and pieces of meat, all covered in teeth marks, were scattered randomly on the floor like toys that a child had played with. One had to be extremely careful just to walk into the crime scene, in order to avoid... stepping on any "odd bits and pieces".

Even the "well-informed" Kudo Shinichi has probably never seen such a tragic scene. No wonder Inspector Megure stopped him from entering for the first time.

In this extremely bloody room, in addition to the forensic personnel, there were also a small number of police officers wearing masks busy inspecting the scene. In a corner of the room, there was a person standing who was out of tune with the atmosphere of the scene.

He was wearing casual everyday clothes, with the hood of his coat tightly on his head, his hands gloved and tucked into his pockets, and even his face was covered by a mask of the Duke of Darkness with a white smile on it.

Judging from the people at the scene who frowned and glanced at him from time to time, this person was not invisible like Xia Yan, but the people present could not control him.

Immediately, this special person seemed to sense the disgust of the people at the scene towards him, and he quietly left the room and passed by Inspector Megure who had arrived.

As he left, he made a phone call in a deserted area: "Hello, Kazami, cancel the mission to gather intelligence on [Akoya Kiyoaki], and mobilize all personnel to check the surveillance footage immediately!"

"On-site search? No, that's not necessary. Don't go! You just need to thoroughly check the road surveillance, especially around Beika-cho 2-chome. Leave the rest to me."

"What are you looking for? Oh, that's right..."

Amuro Toru... no, he didn't have that name yet. He should be called Furuya Rei/Bourbon. He spoke coldly into the phone, "Just go find... that obviously inhuman creature!"

……

……

The next day, Sunday morning.

Xia Yan sat cross-legged in the hall, with his hands' five fingers together and spread out naturally on both sides in a palm shape. A faint aura invisible to the naked eye rose from his body.

Hunter x Hunter's mind has common basic application skills, which are the four major lines: entanglement, absolute, refining, and release.

There are also corresponding advanced application techniques, but we will not mention them here for the time being.

Because Xia Yan discovered that the +1 Nen ability "only" allowed him to learn the four basic elements.

In addition, Nian also has an attribute system, which are:

Release system, reinforcement system, transformation system, materialization system, characteristic system, operation system.
