Eternal Night

Chapter 813 Covetousness and Clear Eyes

To be honest, everyone on deck, and even those below deck who, though unable to see or feel it, knew that disaster was imminent, had the following first reaction:

Can't figure it out.

I'm completely baffled.

But without a doubt, this being before us is someone we can communicate with!
The ability to communicate means the possibility of peace. No matter how terrifying or exaggerated the other party may seem, even the smallest insect in nature can have a symbiotic relationship with the most powerful magical beast. Since the other party has spoken, whether it is in disguise or to play with them, someone present immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, we are human, we are all human!"

Wu Pifu nodded slightly in satisfaction, but he immediately frowned.

Under the influence of his super brain's emotional perception, he acknowledged the humans present, but also discovered that there were more than a dozen non-human beings among them.

The proportion of non-humans is rather high in this world's human civilization...

As Wu Pifu frowned, everyone around him felt a chill run down their spines, each sensing that impending doom.

This is also the special characteristic of the extraordinary in this world. It originates from the physical life force, reaches its peak from the spiritual consciousness, and is essentially from the true spirit of the soul. Therefore, its characteristics make it extremely sensitive to all things, and its perception of killing intent far surpasses that of other extraordinary paths. The moment Wu Pifu frowned, everyone around him felt his killing intent emerge.

So in an instant, everyone around them retreated rapidly to avoid the attack. Among them, the dozen or so non-human creatures that Wu Pifu had sensed were bursting with mental power and exploding with energy, but their spirit and energy were rapidly weakening... similar to that old, beautiful woman whose hair was turning white rapidly, wrinkles were appearing on her body, and she was aging at a visible speed.

"What? You guys also shorten your lifespan by several decades?"

Wu Pifu was truly dumbfounded. Looking at the dozen or so inhuman changes, he immediately thought of the twenty or so martial artists he had fought before. Each of them possessed unique skills and was clearly more than one dimension below him in terms of level, yet they had twice almost killed him.

Could these dozen or so non-human beings also be capable of this?

But before Wu Pifu could even make a move, these dozen or so non-human beings had already weakened from their explosive aura to a state worse than that of ordinary people, and then...

They were scared to death right in front of Wu Pifu.

"What!?" Wu Pifu was shocked again and couldn't help but exclaim.

Those around were even more shocked. In fact, the more than one hundred Nen users present had just felt an unprecedentedly terrifying killing intent. The intensity and magnitude of this killing intent exceeded their understanding of the limits. Even if it wasn't directed at them, the slightest emanation of the killing intent had already made these more than one hundred Nen users feel suffocated and unable to move. Not to mention the dozen or so people who were directly facing this killing intent.

Rather than being killed by some kind of attack, they were more likely to be crushed or killed by their own thoughts, or by the backlash.

However, although the killing intent was terrifying, it came and went quickly. As these dozen or so non-humans died, the indescribably terrifying killing intent immediately disappeared without a trace. Even the Nen users who were known for their perception could not sense the killing intent at all.

"you……"

Peter Young was about to speak, but the handsome young man next to him, Paris, spoke first: "Of course, we are all human."

Wu Pifu glanced at Paris, shook his head slightly, and said, "You were in danger. You almost became inhuman, but you're still barely human now... Anyway, who's in charge of you? Can we talk about it?"

At this moment, Peter Young and King took a step forward at the same time, then looked at each other with inexplicable expressions in their eyes, but neither of them backed down, as if they were both communicating and competing with each other.

However, Wu Pifu, who lacks Nen abilities, couldn't see it, and something that left him somewhat bewildered happened again.

His super brain's emotional perception was rapidly failing. These superhumans with Nen abilities were using some method to quickly conceal their emotional leakage. Although he didn't know how they did it, they were instinctively adapting to Wu Pifu's presence.

However, Wu Pifu didn't care. Right was right, wrong was wrong, human was human, and non-human was non-human. He said directly to Peter Yang and Jin, "I'm really sorry for coming so abruptly, but the situation is urgent, and I also..."

At this moment, Paris smiled again and said, "This place is far too simple and not a suitable place to talk. If you don't mind, why don't you come aboard our ship and sit down for a proper conversation?"

Upon hearing this, at least two-thirds of the people present glared at him angrily, but the remaining third, after a slight surprise, revealed expressions of admiration and relief.

As before, Wu Pifu remained indifferent. He looked around, then at the dozen or so non-human corpses that had died of exhaustion, and nodded. However, he looked at Lei Chi with a headache.

“I’m sorry, this thing can’t be put into my personal space, so I can only carry it with me… But don’t worry, it’s very stable, it just can’t pass through narrow doors.” Wu Pifu pointed to the Thunder Pool placed next to him.

All eyes finally turned to the Thunder Pool, and each person was filled with trepidation. In fact, the Thunder Pool was far more conspicuous than Wu Pifu, shining like a star, yet stable and not dissipating. This thing would be the center of attention anywhere, but Wu Pifu's existence was too exaggerated for these Nen users, so they completely ignored the Thunder Pool from the beginning, only now having the leisure to notice its existence.

Regardless, since Wu Pifu had spoken, no one present could possibly disobey him. Fortunately, the ship was exceptionally large, and although it had a narrow interior, it was impossible to take Wu Pifu there at this time. So, led by the two leaders, Peter Yang and King, all the Nen users followed. Soon, they arrived at the largest hall on the ship.

Afterwards, Paris became the host, smiling and inviting everyone to take their seats. He then served food and drinks. At this point, Wu Pifu spoke again: "I came from the outside world to learn Nen abilities, especially the oaths and constraints within Nen. This is the purpose of my trip, and I can tell you all about it. Also, my companions encountered a disaster on their journey. I am fine, but they seem to have been affected by the Nen of the dead. I cannot awaken it now, and once awakened, their life force will be lost. Therefore, I would like to ask someone with Nen abilities to heal them, or rather, to teach me Nen so that I can heal them personally."

These words were indeed straightforward and sincere, although many things about the cause and effect were not clearly explained. For example, what exactly is the so-called "external world"? How did he come to know about Nen abilities if he wanted to learn them? What is the so-called disaster? And what is the Nen attribute he suffered after death?
In short, although all the Nen users present had these questions, they still knew the general situation.

First of all, based on Wu Pifu's words, everyone present confirmed some facts. For example, Wu Pifu was indeed an unknown intelligent life form that could communicate. Although it was somewhat capricious, it was undoubtedly not a natural disaster without any consciousness, or one of those strange and incomprehensible things. This point is very important.

Although everyone found it incredible that these hallucinations of thoughts after death could become sentient, being able to survive was the first necessity of life, so they could only feel fortunate.

Secondly, although they found it incredible that Wu Pifu couldn't use any spells, it was true that they hadn't observed any spells in Wu Pifu since he appeared.

Upon realizing this, at least one-fifth of the people present developed some kind of delusional or fanatical idea.

Nen abilities manifest in completely different forms and rules depending on each person's behavior, thoughts, and the nature of their soul. Among them are some completely unreasonable "instant kill" abilities. That is, as long as the rules of one's Nen ability are met, then theoretically no matter how strong the enemy is, one can kill the enemy with one blow, or even control them as a puppet, or convert them into one's own power.

This is not uncommon in the extraordinary paths of Nen abilities; however, the more certain the rule is to be a sure-kill, the more demanding the conditions for achieving that sure-kill are.

but! !
However, this applies to other Nen users, because Nen can be used to defend against and cancel each other out. For non-Nen users, it is much easier to meet the conditions. In fact, Nen users completely overwhelm non-Nen users. The mere release of killing intent can cause non-Nen users to suffer brain death.

Within the Nen user community, this is known as "baptism."

When Wu Pifu said these words, and when everyone confirmed that he really couldn't recite them, more than one-fifth of the people present had evil thoughts or murderous intentions.

In particular, some Nen users possess abilities that can kill with a single blow, bind puppets, or absorb the strength and characteristics of others and convert them into their own power. Their greed and desires expand almost uncontrollably.

One step to the sky!
This is the terrifying desire that they cannot suppress at this moment.

At this delicate moment, Jin suddenly spoke up and asked, "When you say 'encountered a disaster,' do you mean one disaster? Or multiple disasters? Around when did you encounter it?"

Based on the idea that sincerity towards others would be reciprocated, Wu Pifu said directly, "I've encountered dozens of disasters along the way, but none of them were major problems. Until six days ago, the disaster we encountered was quite severe. I was fine; if I were serious, I could probably defeat it instantly. However, my companion fell into a trap while sleeping. Although we managed to uproot it—by the way, this Thunder Pool was the hope that accompanied that disaster—my companion fell into a deep sleep."

Six days ago!
When the heavens change!

Then, considering the direction from which Wu Pifu flew.

In an instant, everyone's eyes became clear and kind.

No, theoretically "it's easier for non-Nen users to meet the conditions," but that's only in theory.

He's... fucking amazing!

Jin nodded in satisfaction, then his Nen ability manifested above his head as a hand, which he raised to the middle finger at one-fifth of the people. Of course, Wu Pifu couldn't see it.

At this moment, Peter Young suddenly spoke up: "Yes, I can teach you everything about Nen, including its authenticity, activation, development, and all the information we have about Nen. Not only that, we can also try to save your companions. If we can't do that, you can definitely do it yourself if you learn Nen. These are not problems, but..."

Wu Pifu nodded slightly; he knew the real show was about this "but".

"What will you offer in exchange? Tell me first."

Peter Young laughed heartily, his demeanor wild and unrestrained.

“We’re all outlaws. The fact that we’re here means we’re not afraid to die. Of course, it would be better if we didn’t die, but we’re not going to trade our lives for all of this, so…”

"How do you plan to exchange it for what you want?"
