Chapter 402： within the spider's web

Chapter 402 Within the spider web

In the original book, Kurapika developed an ability called "absolute time" in order to perfectly display the strength of the "contract chain".

This ability allows Kurapika to break through the limitation of the Psychic attribute in the red-eyed state, and fully exert the effect of any Psychic ability.

But the price of "absolute time" is that every second Kurapika uses the ability, he will lose one hour of life.

This is the ability of pure life.

From Kurapika's point of view, he really needs this ability very much.

Otherwise, as a person of the Realization Department, let alone the entire Phantom Troupe, he may not even be able to cross the barrier of the Phantom Troupe to strengthen the Phantom Brigade due to the gap between the pros and cons of the Phantom Brigade.

So, Kurapika has no choice.

He can only gamble his life.

But after Moyou intervened, there was actually no need to die.

Giving the heads of Hisoka and Kubi to Kurapika was just a joke that Moyu said casually.

He wanted to make Kurapika understand one thing.

That is, there is no need to deal with the Phantom Brigade alone, and compared to sanctioning the Phantom Brigade, it is more important to find the eyes of the tribe.

But jokes are jokes, Moyou's attitude towards dealing with the Phantom Brigade has not changed.

Phantom Troupe—

He is determined!

"Moyou, what is the strength of the Phantom Troupe?"

Kurapika, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked a question that concerned him most.

He only knows that the Phantom Brigade is a criminal gang composed of thirteen members, and every member can read ability. As for the cognition of strength, he has only been in contact with Hisoka.

"You suddenly asked such a question, and I really didn't know how to answer it for a while."

Moyou groaned, but suddenly thought of Hisoka.

If Hisoka is used as a combat unit, Kurapika should be able to easily understand the general situation.

After all, Kurapika faced Hisoka in the hunter test...

"Kurapika, what do you think of Hisoka's strength?"

"Strong."

"Then, you can imagine that there are about six or seven Hisokas among the members of the Phantom Troupe. If you add all of them together, it is equivalent to about ten Hisokas."

"..."

Hearing what Moyu said, Kurapika was a little stunned, but ten images of Hisoka with perverted smiles naturally appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

Ten Hisokas standing together...

Just imagining it will indeed give birth to a sense of powerlessness.

Because in the world of mind ability battles, multiple mind ability users can always exert more than 1+1 combat power effect.

so-

Sure enough, I really need the opportunity to fight alone!

Moyu looked at Kurapika's slightly chilly expression, wondering if it was because of his own words that he associated some strange images?

Kurapika shook his head to drive Hisoka out of his mind, then looked at Moyu.

"The Phantom Troupe is equivalent to how many of you?"

"Well…"

Moyu didn't expect Kurapika to ask such a question, raised his eyebrows, raised his finger to his chin, and gave the answer without much thought: "About three or four."

"Three or four..."

Kurapika was a little lost in thought.

Moyu pointed his index finger at Kurapika and said with a smile: "One on one, I will win."

After finishing speaking, he raised his second index finger, and under Kurapika's astonished gaze, he continued to smile and said, "One against two, I will win."

Immediately afterwards, he raised his third finger: "If it's a one-on-three match, it's hard to say, but you will definitely not lose, but if you play three Hisokas, you can basically win."

Moyu's statement immediately made Kurapika even more curious, and asked, "What about a pair of four?"

"Can't win."

Moyou withdrew his hand, only saying that he could not win, not that he would lose.

One-on-one is actually a different concept from fighting with fewer enemies, and at the same time, never underestimate the combat power that people with multiple mind abilities can display.

If it's one-on-one, it won't help if Kuroro comes.

Moyou, holding multiple hole cards, has absolute confidence to finish the torture of Kuroro.

But if you play more with less, Kuroro's ability characteristics will be an unpredictable variable.

Moyu will not think arrogantly that he can directly push away the Phantom Troupe just because he holds a hole card such as "Nitero Mask".

Nobody stays in the same place all the time.

He will become stronger, and so will the members of the Phantom Troupe.

In addition, there is a shortcoming that has to be faced squarely with Nitero's mask of the changer, that is, the accuracy and strength of the ability of the mind from the rubbing will be affected by the "intellect attribute".

And after wearing it for more than eight seconds, there is a risk of being swallowed.

The time limit is a small problem. Baishi Guanyin originally focused on the word "fast", which can perfectly squeeze out the value within eight seconds.

This is also the fundamental reason why Moyou had to expand Nitro.

On the contrary, it is the ability precision—

Hundred Styles of Avalokitesvara seems to have a variety of attributes, but Nitro, who developed this ability, is an enhancement system.

And Moyou is a special type. Before developing the ability of "Flower in the Mirror, Water Moon", he has always hated to fight against the reinforcement type.

The reason for this is that when fighting against reinforcement systems, he is limited by the conversion of the attack and defense power of the mind attribute. He needs to devote more mind energy when attacking in order to cause damage to the reinforcement systems.

The most intuitive feeling is no different from the battle in the event of the Natural History Fair.

Because of the inherent difference in offensive and defensive power brought about by the mind attribute, under normal circumstances, the attack that should be a sure-fire blow, but when it falls on the reinforcement system, it only causes moderate damage.

If Moyu is allowed to use the "Nitero Mask", he cannot expect too much combat power value.

So as he just said—

He couldn't win against four members of the Phantom Troupe alone, let alone the entire Phantom Troupe alone.

certainly.

His statement is aimed at "ring battle".

Sneak attack, split, break one by one...

There are many means and methods that can be adopted.

How could Moyou stand obediently in the ring and wait for all the members of the Phantom Troupe to beat him up?

In general, with his own strength, it is extremely difficult to destroy the Phantom Troupe in one go, and it carries a fatal risk.

but…

Risk against profit!

If he really dares to take huge risks and succeeds in destroying the entire Phantom Troupe, then he will definitely get unimaginable rewards from "Look and Feel".

In fact, he originally planned to do so.

Benefits come with risks, which has always been his philosophy of action.

"Kurapika, you don't need to think so much now, you should concentrate on perfecting your nomenclature."

Moyu promptly interrupted Kurapika's guessing of his combat power against others.

The main reason for taking the initiative to talk to Kurapika this time is to make Kurapika give up the idea of ​​krypton life.

Besides—

The bloodline advantage of the Kuluta tribe does not necessarily have to be used for the ability of "absolute time".

When it is in the red-eye state, the upper limit and strength of the displayed energy can be improved to a certain extent.

In Moyou's view, this is already enough.

In the following time, apart from perfecting the ability of the "Contract Chain", Kurapika fought against the prisoners in the trap tower every day.

While accumulating combat experience, you can also learn a lot of techniques and methods from the prisoners.

Every day is exhausting, but Kurapika still feels that there is not enough time.

If his physical condition allows, he may give up his sleep time.

Moyu watched Kurapika so desperately, and saw his own shadow on Kurapika in a trance.

In the past, in order to quickly rescue Hawk who was trapped in the space of thoughts, he also tried his best to become stronger just like Kurapika now...

"It's been a long time since I went back."

Moyou's thoughts drifted to the temple standing on the top of the scenic spot.

After coming out of the ruins, he used calls and text messages to report to Hawke that he was safe, but he never went home.

I don’t know how the flow of people in the scenic area has been in recent years. If there are fewer people going there, the temple must be deserted.

Thinking of this, the image that emerged in Moyou's mind was Hawk sitting alone in the courtyard, exuding a strong sense of sight of an empty-nest old man.

"Mouse baby, go home and see Hawke sometime."

Moyou hooked his mouth and reached out to caress the blue bead necklace around his neck.

"Chi Chi!"

The azure blue bead flickered for a moment, and from it came the cheerful cry of the mouse.

time flies-

After the twenty-sixth day in the Trap Tower.

After completing the task of teaching newcomers, Men Qi rushed to the trap tower without stopping to meet Moyou.

"Why isn't it over yet?"

After coming to the Trap Tower, Menqi found out that Moyu was still teaching Kurapika, and immediately expressed puzzlement.

Moyou then briefly explained the ins and outs to Men Qi, including his plan to deal with the Phantom Brigade.

Ke Mengqi only cared about one thing after listening.

"Master, you have accepted a second apprentice..."

"Well."

Moyu was speechless.

Strictly speaking, there is no formal mentorship between him and Kurapika.

But in order to get the corresponding rewards from the perception in the future, this matter must be finalized.

Men Qi was very unhappy, but this little emotion only stayed on her for two days at most, and then she accepted the reality of having an extra junior.

"After eating, there will be no soup stains left!"

In the days that followed, Menki began to prepare various glowing dishes for Kurapika that could relieve fatigue or strengthen the body.

Thanks to Menki's luminous dishes, Kurapika can squeeze out more time for practice every day.

In this way, staying in the Trap Tower for more than two months, Kurapika has accumulated a lot of combat experience and perfected the ability of "Contract Chain".

The time came to June 11, 1999.

Moyu bid farewell to Lieber, and left the trap tower with Kurapika, Xiaodi, and Menqi.

During the period of teaching Kurapika, Moyu has been able to receive reports from his second son, Hisoka.

According to the information provided by Hisoka, there is a hacker hunter in the Phantom Brigade who is responsible for collecting intelligence.

And this hacker hunter did not know what method he used, and under the premise of lacking key information, he was able to lock the approximate area where he was located on the map.

It's just that it's impossible to achieve precise positioning, so it can only use time to slowly reduce the range.

In addition to the hacker hunter's search information, Hisoka also provided information on two other reinforcement systems.

Moyu knew that the Phantom Brigade had absorbed new members, but it was nothing surprising.

In the spider web, who is waiting for whom?

「What are you going to do?」

This is an inquiry text message sent by Hisoka to Moyu after gradually providing information.

Moyu casually replied with "Plan B", and then started the practice of "I can't read it back", ignoring the messages that Hisoka sent one after another asking what Plan B is.

"Almost ready to start."

Sitting on the spaceship going to the Sky Arena, Moyu stared at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

In more than four months, Kurapika has completely completed his transformation, from a rookie who knows nothing about telekinetic ability to a telekinetic user who can stably use "Jian" in battle.

The speed of its progress is nothing short of unpleasant.

But in front of the main members of the Phantom Troupe, such strength is still not enough.

Even so, Moyu did not refuse Kurapika's request to join him in the crusade against the Phantom Brigade.

"The fact of mentoring has been confirmed, but there is still no reward for unlocking."

Moyou withdrew his gaze from the window, and said to himself in his heart: "Do we have to wait until after the Phantom Troupe is destroyed..."

In the past, when Shou Menqi was confirmed as an apprentice, the perception directly gave the reward of "absolute +1".

This time, not only did he teach Kurapika the ability to read for more than four months, but he also officially signed the name of master and apprentice, but there was no movement at all.

Moyou was very surprised by this, but he was not too entangled.

His current focus is on the Mirage Phantom Brigade.

A few days later.

The spaceship landed in the city airport where the sky arena is located.

Before disembarking from the spaceship, Kurapika suddenly asked Moyu for a competition.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Moyou didn't immediately refuse, but asked back.

Kurapika looked very serious, nodded and said: "Sure."

"good."

Seeing that Kurapika was serious, Moyu complied.

The group then went to the Sky Arena.

A few hours after they left the airport, a spaceship landed on the tarmac.

After a while.

A cute girl with a golden double ponytail hairstyle and a princess dress stepped off the spaceship.

"Really, Miss Ben is very busy these days."

The girl with the golden ponytail was Bisji. She took out her mobile phone and sent Moyou a short message of "arrived", and then went straight to the airport hall.

After coming to the hall, Bisji suddenly thought of something, and clapped his white-gloved hands together vigorously, making a crisp sound.

"By the way, I remember that kid fooled around with Jin for a while, and he might not be allowed to help me get a game qualification. Well, let's do it like this, as a reward for this trip."

Bisji's eyes lit up, and his delicate doll-like face was filled with a smile.

"Hello."

Suddenly, an immature male voice came from behind Bisiji.

Bisji looked back when he heard the sound, and then saw two teenagers of similar age.

One with black hair and golden eyes, the other with silver hair and blue eyes, they looked only eleven or twelve years old.

The person who asked the question just now was a young man with a hedgehog hair and golden eyes. He looked at Bisji and asked, "Excuse me, the Jin you mentioned just now, is his full name Jin Fulishi?"

"ha?"

Bisji looked at the boy in front of him in surprise.
