Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

"That's right!"

"Can……"

Seeing Link intact and standing in front of him with a calm expression, Piyorn had to swallow his words.

Indeed, from the outside, Link doesn't seem to be affected by any negative effects of his Nen ability.

People have to spend a lot of time and effort to get rid of even a trace of mental energy, and usually have to bear various costs.

But Link doesn't have any of these!

The two could only sigh in their hearts - Mr. Link is such an amazing person!

While the few of them were talking, Gengar had already swallowed a large piece of the death thought in front of him.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that even the concentration of the death thought has dropped a lot.

The huge movement also attracted the attention of other explorers.

"What happened? Why are the death thoughts disappearing continuously?!"

"Are you stupid? Look over there, there's a mind-eliminating master taking action!"

……

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Link and Gengar.

There are happy ones, uneasy ones, and also... greedy ones!

In a corner where no one was paying attention, two people in loose black robes were watching the scene quietly.

"Hey, Envy! That boy's mind-clearing abilities are extraordinary! Lust would probably love it!"

A rough voice came out of the strong man's mouth, his eyes full of brutality.

"Ho ho ho ho ho..."

The thin man had a pale face and looked like a dried corpse at first glance. He looked at Link and Gengar with ambiguous eyes.

……

It was not until people shifted their gaze away from the bloated Gengar that they realized that Link's two companions were not ordinary people either.

"Look! That's Pijorn, the Rabbit of the Twelve Earthly Branches!"

"Really? That bunny costume is exactly right!"

"I want to be Pjorn's dog..."

"Not only that, isn't that man Saci, the relic hunter?"

In an instant, the people around were surprised and recognized the identities of the two people.

Although Link seemed to hear something strange...

Link was not surprised that Pyorn was recognized as a member of the Twelve Earthly Branches.

He didn't expect that Mr. Sachi would be recognized.

But on second thought, most of the people here are treasure hunters or relic hunters, so it is reasonable that they would know Mr. Sachi, who is in the same industry.

After a while, Link and the other two became the focus of the scene.

Link glanced at the crowd that was exclaiming in surprise. In contrast, Sachi and Pyorn were very calm.

Maybe I'm used to it?

"Then, let's go!"

Ignoring the others, Link and the other two walked towards the depths of the Death Thoughts together, with Gengar at the front responsible for clearing the Death Thoughts.

As I walked deeper and deeper, the thought of death gradually decreased.

An inexplicable sense of relief welled up in the hearts of Saci and Piyorn. This was the first time they had experienced the feeling of having the thought of death fade away.

In the past, when did I not have to expend my own mental energy to resist the death thought?

This is the first time I’ve had the experience of having a powerful mind exorcist on my team!

Link followed Gengar leisurely, while Saji and the others were on high alert, constantly observing their surroundings.

Although Link didn't mention it, both of them subconsciously took on the responsibility of guarding.

After all, in their subconscious, the mind remover has no offensive capabilities.

Not to mention Link's incredible ability to eliminate thoughts, he must be lacking means of attack.

Like several people in the Halim ruins, they both agreed that Link's ability of Nen was to materialize a Nen beast that could absorb the Nen of death.

They already possess such incredible abilities to eliminate thoughts, and they will no longer possess strong offensive capabilities.

Should I?

……

The crowd outside started to get agitated when they saw Link and his two companions strolling leisurely into the depths.

The thought of death that had been bothering them had become irrelevant due to Gengar's "unremitting efforts", so they all wanted to find out the truth.

As a result, following Link and his companions, they actually discovered a lot of treasures.

The result was that people started fighting each other, and the damage caused was even greater than the thought of death.

After all, the dead mind will retreat on its own when it knows it can't do it after using its mental energy to resist for a while.

Now that the thought of death is gone, people will fight to the death for these treasures...

Chapter 2: Disaster and Hope Coexist! (5/, please provide data)

Unnoticed by the crowd, two people shrouded in black robes walked towards Link and his two companions.

Their bodies were crawling with dense swarms of insects, which made their breath hidden to the lowest level, reaching a state comparable to "absolute"!

As the crowd was fighting, Link and the other two easily walked into the depths of the Moros ruins.

"Mr. Link, I wonder if you have ever reached the depths of the Halim ruins?" Saci finally couldn't help but chose to ask.

He really wanted to know what had happened in the Halim ruins.

"Yes, I've been in there."

Looking at the curious Saci, Link added:

"I also found something in there that will shock the entire six continents!"

So under the gaze of two pairs of curious eyes, one big and one small, Link slowly told the story of the Halim ruins.

"Inside the cave, I encountered creatures from the Dark Continent!"

"That's the desire-dependent form known as one of the Five Great Disasters—the Gas Lifeform—E!"

The two's pupils shrank suddenly.

I actually encountered creatures from the Dark Continent!

Next, Link linked the history on the murals with what happened in the cave and told it in full.

……

"So that's how it is..." Sachi and Piyorn exclaimed in unison.

Link's experience made them feel extremely dangerous, but they didn't expect that the "fat purple man" jumping in front of them could not only absorb the thought of death.

Even creatures from the Dark Continent can be swallowed...

In addition, the kingdom that was the predecessor of the Halim ruins also made them shudder.

According to Link's narration, the royal family regarded the entire kingdom as nourishment for their strength!

In the end, the kingdom was destroyed due to excessive greed for power.

This also fits in very well with their conception of the Dark Continent.

I don’t know if it was deliberately arranged by the old thief Togashi.

In the Dark Continent, hope and disaster often coexist.

The "E" that can cause mental disorders lives in areas with "three original waters".

In the swamps, there is Nitolomi, the ultimate food that can make people live longer.

But before it arrives, it may have become the bait of the "Rattlesnake's Hell Bell".

……

There is a saying that when you find "hope" in the dark continent, don't be happy, because "disaster" will follow!

While a few people were chatting, they had already walked to the depths of the Moros ruins, which was where Shui Liuli was rumored to appear.

"Is this the secret place of the Moros ruins?"

Looking at the extremely wide cave entrance in front of him, Link couldn't help but sigh.

In front of Link and the other two was a small hill, and in front of the hill was a cave entrance about two stories high.

Countless death thoughts flowed out of the dark cave like sewage.

However, after the three of them walked in, they discovered that there was a different world inside.

The cave looked dark from the outside, but it was quite bright inside.

This is all thanks to the vines tangling around the walls!

I saw countless vines that seemed to be parasitic on the wall, densely covering the wall.

They continued to emit a little green fluorescence, providing some light for the few people.

"Could this be the so-called water glass?"

Link asked in disappointment, pointing at the vines covering the wall.

Although this vine looks pretty, it is still far from what he had imagined.

"No, these are not real water glass, or rather, they are defective water glass!"

Pijorn took out his pink bunny-ear phone, took a few pictures of the vines, and then quickly pressed a few keys to get the answer.

Water glass absorbs a sulfur-containing compound, which leads to the continuous loss of anthocyanins and gives it a mineral luster.

The final color should be completely transparent.

The vines covering the wall probably didn't absorb the compound thoroughly enough, and ended up being somewhere in between, not as green as at the beginning, but not completely transparent either.

If it were sold, it would probably be worth a lot of money, but it would definitely be far less than the real water glass.

Recalling the introduction of water glass in the original work, Link felt that the real water glass should exist deep in the cave.

If there is nothing at the deepest part, then there probably won't be anything here either.

The further you go inside, the deeper you get into the volcano. In theory, the concentration of this sulfur-containing compound should be higher.

The possibility of producing real water glass is also higher.

After listening to Link's explanation, both of them agreed and decided to continue moving deeper.

Along the way, Link kept observing the walls, wanting to see if there were any murals telling the history here like the Halim ruins.

But unfortunately, there are no words or murals on the wall except for the twisting vines.

Chapter 3: The Real Water Glaze! (5/, looking for data)

As if sensing Link's doubts, Pyorn, the Ancient Document Hunter, took the initiative to speak:

"The Moros ruins are unlike the Halim ruins. They have a long history and were once a kingdom."

"The Moros ruins are actually just the remains of some small tribes from the past. They don't have any unique history."

"These thoughts of death only arise by chance. Perhaps this is related to the backward customs among the tribes."

"In the early years, many tribes had rather bloody customs, such as sacrificing people to heaven in exchange for peace."

……

After some scientific research by Pijorn, Link finally realized the existence of the Halim ruins.
