Chapter 397： An important puzzle for the Phantom Troupe

Nitero set foot on the Dark Continent twice when he was young.

So he knows better than anyone the danger of exploring the Dark Continent.

The courage of human beings to challenge the unknown and explore new continents is simply not applicable to the dark continent outside the world map.

Because, there are various disasters on the Dark Continent that will cause destructive danger to the entire human society.

And every exploration of human beings, while paying tragic sacrifices, is very likely to bring back these disasters.

Its potential harm is self-evident.

This is why Nitro regards exploring the Dark Continent as taboo.

Netero knew that Jin's "ultimate hunting goal" was to explore the Dark Continent.

Standing in his position, of course it is impossible for Jin to easily get what he wants.

He has already prevented his son Bijande Nitro's plan to go to the Dark Continent again, and he is not short of stopping one more Jin.

Sometimes I have to feel that these juniors who are better than blue are all interested in exploring the Dark Continent.

Now, Nitro's eyes fell on Moyu.

He does not hope that Moyou, who has already emerged, will become like Jin, yearning for that world...

"Well…"

Nitero stopped in the corridor, calmly looking at the door in front of him.

After pondering for a moment, he still didn't continue to move forward, but turned and left.

time flies-

Another two days passed by.

Moyou's injury is quite serious, and he can only lie on the hospital bed to recuperate.

After Jin found out the details of "Jian Bone Plating", he only stayed for a symbolic two days before slipping away.

As for getting in touch with Xiaojie and getting acquainted with him, this guy never thought about it at all.

"Has Qi Ya come home..."

Moyou was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Men Qi with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Even without the intervention of Il fans, Qi Ya finally returned home...

"Um."

Men Qi nodded, looking indifferent.

Moyou asked: "Did Qi Ya go by himself, or was he taken away by others?"

"taken away."

Meng Qi sat aside, lowered his head to peel the grape skins, and said, "The person who came seems to be his father."

"oh?"

Moyou frowned slightly, and the figure of Xiba quickly flashed in his mind.

It seems that the Beating Enemy Family really attaches great importance to Qi Yakai's thoughts...

Now, in order to let Qi Ya go home as soon as possible, even Shiba has personally stepped in.

Fortunately, Hisoka was blamed at the time, and part of the firepower could be diverted no matter what.

As for cutting Ilmi into a stick...

This is what Il fans asked for.

If he wants to avenge Il fans regardless of right or wrong by beating the enemy family, then Moyu can only carry Nitro out.

At that time, I didn’t kill the Yier fan, but also to have some room for maneuver, so as not to tear the face.

"Qi Ya was taken home, so there is nothing to do..."

Moyou's eyes were lowered, and he didn't worry much about the revenge from the enemy-beating family when he left room.

It’s not that he’s narcissistic, it’s just about connections—

He still has a little confidence.

Unless you beat the enemy's family to death, Moyou is really not afraid.

So compared to this matter, Moyou cares more about formally establishing a relationship with Qi Ya.

Originally, he wanted to settle this matter after the competition, but he didn't expect that Shiba would go out in person and bring Qi Ya home.

Judging from the current situation, no matter whether Qi Ya can regain freedom like the original book, at least "going home" is something that must be experienced now.

Moyou can only wait.

"Master, eat grapes."

Men Qi handed a plate of peeled grapes to Moyou.

Moyou came back to his senses, looked at the cleanly peeled grapes on the plate, and said with a smile, "Actually, there is no need to peel them specially."

"It's more convenient to eat this way."

Meng Qi raised a smile on his face, and then added: "And peeling the grape skins is like handling ingredients. I'm used to it. If I don't peel the skins, I will feel uncomfortable."

"All right."

Moyou smiled helplessly, and swept away the grapes that Menqi had peeled.

As evening approached.

Nitero came to the ward where Moyu was.

Xiao Di, who was reading a book, and Meng Qi, who prepared various fruits for Moyou in different ways, all looked at Nitro immediately.

Their eyes were a bit unfriendly, and the reason for this reaction was obviously because Nitro had injured Moyu so badly during the competition.

Who is Nitro, sometimes he is just an old urchin, he doesn’t care about Menqi’s and Xiaodi’s eye attack, instead he shows a playful smile to Moyou.

As if to say: The young man had a good time.

Moyu understood the meaning of Nitero's smile, and immediately rolled his eyes.

"Men Qi, Xiao Di, you go out first."

"ah?"

Men Qi looked at Mo You in surprise, but Xiao Di just put down the book, with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Master..."

"Get out."

Moyou interrupted Men Qi's thought of asking why.

"All right."

Men Qi reluctantly got up and walked towards the door.

Seeing Moyou's insistence, Xiao Di didn't say anything, followed behind Men Qi, and left the ward.

After a while.

Only Moyou and Nitro remained in the ward.

In the competition a few days ago, Moyou lost, but he also won.

And Nitro came here at this moment to honor the bet Moyu won.

"My request is not too big, nor is it small."

Moyu looked directly at Nitro.

Cover Nitro's face with the mask of the changer for eight seconds.

If it is only this kind of request, of course it is nothing.

But the problem is—

When the mask covers the face, Nitro must enter the state of "absolute".

This is the issue of "trust".

itself, entering the state of "absolute" is equivalent to presenting the most vulnerable side in front of others.

In addition, the mask of the thousand changer is a materialized item, and the condition of covering the face for eight seconds...

This will naturally make people think that it may be an operating system ability.

Nitro may be willing to believe Moyu.

But he is the president of the Hunter Association, and he has a world-renowned reputation. If there is a problem with him, it will affect the whole body.

Considering this consequence, it is really hard to say whether he will agree to this request.

But no matter what the result will be, Moyou must make this request.

After all, this is one of the key puzzles for his group to destroy the Phantom Brigade.

Nitero didn't know what Moyou was thinking, he stroked his beard habitually, and asked, "Let's listen."

"Um."

Moyou nodded, but he didn't say the request immediately, but raised his bandaged right hand.

「Mask of the Thousand Changes」

With a thought, a black thought exuding an ominous aura appeared out of nowhere on the right hand, which looked no different from the thought after death.

Nitero already knew the details of Moyou in this regard, and seeing the black spirit on Moyou's right hand at this moment, his old face showed no emotion at all.

The key to solving the "Swamp Man Incident" at the beginning was Moyu's ability related to "death".

The black thought energy swirled and surged, slowly turning into a white faceless human skin under Netero's gaze.

From the ominous black mind energy to the holy white human skin like snow, this transformation process can be described as full of strong contrasts.

"Is it a one-time reading device again?"

Looking at the white faceless human skin on Moyu's hand, Nitro asked curiously.

Moyou nodded again, without the slightest intention to hide, and took the initiative to explain:

"This is called the mask of the Thousand Changes. As long as it is covered on the target's face for up to eight seconds, the appearance of the target can be rubbed, but... During the rubbing process, the target must be in an 'absolute' state. "

"A human skin mask that has been rubbed successfully can allow the user to perfectly change into the appearance of the rubbed person, and master the mind ability possessed by the rubbed person."

"This is the ability effect of the mask of the thousand changer, and its restriction is that the rubbed mask cannot be worn for too long, otherwise it will be swallowed by the mask. In addition, the copying of the appearance is not worth mentioning, but the accuracy of the copied ability It will be affected by the user's mind attribute."

"That is to say, if the person to be rubbed is of the strengthening system, then only the user of the strengthening system can perfectly display the mind ability of the person being rubbed."

Out of respect for Netero, Moyu unreservedly told the information about the mask of the changer.

After listening to Moyu's explanation, Nitro felt a little turmoil in his heart, as if he had returned to the moment when he first learned about the ability of the "Surprise Box".

The "nen strengthened by death" endows Moyu with the ability to create one-time ninjas.

And these one-time thinking devices are all extraordinary.

The talent and upper limit of this junior in front of him is simply unheard of and unseen.

While his thoughts were turning, Nitero's heart became even more turbulent, and he also understood what Moyou wanted to ask.

"Do you want to 'rubbing' the old man?"

Nitero looked at Moyou with deep eyes.

Moyou said frankly: "Well, this is the usage that can maximize the value of the mask of the changer."

The implication is that your old man is the strongest of all.

But how could Netero be influenced by this kind of cryptic flattery? Even though he had to cash in his bet, he still thought about it briefly.

finally-

He agreed to Moyou's request, which can be said to have fully demonstrated his trust in Moyou.

Perhaps in the heart of this old man, Moyou is already the future pillar of the Hunter Association appointed by him.

"Before rubbing, can I satisfy my little curiosity?"

Nitero closed his fine pores after a long absence, and looked at Moyu with great interest.

Moyou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course."

"Are you rubbing this mask to prevent problems before they happen, or do you have a conspiracy?"

Netero then asked what was on his mind.

Moyou heard the words, and did not hesitate to tell the motive of rubbing the mask:

"I want to kill the A-level criminal group Phantom Brigade, and your old mask is the most important puzzle to achieve this goal."

"Hoo hoo..."

Nitero grinned slightly.

It was originally intended to deal with A-level criminal groups.

Yes, this little guy is the youngest two-star bounty hunter in history.

"Then you can directly call the old man to help out, maybe you can save a reading device."

Nitero's tone was obviously ridiculed, but what he said was not unreasonable.

"..."

Moyou lowered his eyelids and said speechlessly, "We are professional hunters, and I don't want to be looked down upon by you."

"Hoo hoo."

Nitro smiled even more happily.

Of course, it is impossible for Moyu to ask Nitro to help.

In fact, as long as he is willing to use the skill of "calling friends and calling friends", he can call Bisji, Kiddo, Pjorn, Kang Jae, Lizzie, Sampika, Kim, and even Nitro...

Then, pushing away the Phantom Troupe is as simple as drinking water.

But in this case, the perception side will definitely not give any rewards.

Nowadays, with the increase in strength, it is getting more and more difficult to get rewards from perception...

Moyu doesn't want to waste the most precious reward opportunity linked to "Phantom Troupe".

So he has to be like before—

What you want, you have to give.

If you want to get high returns, you must bear high risks.

This is restriction and oath.

After a while, Moyou started rubbing, covering Nitro's face with the white faceless human skin.

Eight seconds passed quickly.

The originally white and smooth human skin mask directly changed to Nitro's appearance.

Moyou was about to take off the human skin mask, rubbed it with his fingers a few times, and said with a smile, "This mask feels much better to the touch than the one you prepared for me."

The silicone mask that participated in the test before was prepared by Nitro for Moyu.

Now, a more perfectly restored human skin mask is printed with the Thousand Change Mask. There is really a strange connection.

Hearing what Moyu said, Nitro just stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Moyou fiddled with the human skin mask that had just been rubbed, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

This human skin mask is very light, but also very heavy.

Lighter than its weight.

weighs heavily on Nitro's trust.

With this hole card, it is time to board a "stage" that can destroy the Phantom Troupe.

time flies.

Half a month later.

After a total of twenty days, Moyou's injury finally recovered almost.

It can be seen how ruthless Netero was at that time, but he controlled it very well, and did not directly shoot Moyu to death.

Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, Moyou received an assignment from the Hunter Association:

"Teach newcomers the ability to read."

Nitero mentioned this matter when Moyu was recuperating.

Since the president spoke in person, Moyu naturally had no room to refuse, so he could only make a request to change the teaching object to Kurapika.

Originally, the Hunter Association asked him to be responsible for teaching Hanzo.

The reason for this arrangement is that Hanzo had the highest score in the hunter test, so he was valued by the Hunter Association in terms of teaching.

But Moyu doesn't want to waste time on Hanzo, so he must refuse.

Accepted the teaching task assigned by the association, before Moyou started to leave, the fifth green bead suddenly condensed on the stone tablet of the "Road of Legends" deep in his consciousness, and then fused into a counterpoint cornerstone.

To this,

Moyou was not surprised.

The fifth green bead could be condensed because the news that he was promoted to two stars spread.

"Counterpoint Keystone..."

Moyou's eyes moved slightly.

The ability effect of this cornerstone is to "cultivate" an ability that can target "a certain phenomenon".

The scope of the word phenomenon is too broad, even a bit conceptual.

And Moyou suddenly thought of—

He may be able to use this cornerstone to fight against the phenomenon he has in mind...that phenomenon!

This chapter is finished, and it’s time for the ideation period that we love to hear and see again.

My vision for the next chapter is—
