Eternal Night

Chapter 822 This is your battle

Kurapika's proposal was accepted by many people, but they all had their own concerns about whether to implement it.

According to Kurapika, after Melody fell into a coma, he entered the same Nen space scene as Kurapika. In that scene, he was affected by the Hell Bell. Although he survived, his manifested energy was already more than half depleted.

Melody was far weaker than him, but from entering the coma to returning, her Nen energy was hardly depleted, and she herself did not experience the terrifying changes brought about by the ringing of the hell bells.

"At the same time, Melody had a premonition of the arrival of the Hellbell before the attack. Although this has not yet been confirmed, she mentioned that the Hellbell was related to the Dark Sonata she had encountered before."

Kura knew that this was the time for them to stand together through thick and thin, so she didn't dare to hide anything or delay, and described the melody and what she had said.

Someone immediately asked Kurapika, "You only mentioned that her Nen energy wasn't depleted and there were no physical changes, so... what if there are enemies in the Nen space?"

Many people who were still pondering the proposal were suddenly taken aback and also had such concerns.

They didn't stay in the Nian Space for long, thanks to Wu Pifu's strength and decisiveness.

However, all the Nen users here know that the Nen space is not a simple ordinary world. The Nen spaces that can be created either have the characteristics of an alternate dimension safe zone or are special rule spaces used for combat, such as not being able to run, see, or hear sounds in the Nen space.

The space of thought manifested by the Hell Bell cannot be a simple, ordinary space. It must have special properties or the presence of enemies. Even if there are no individual enemies, but only the distortion caused by that terrifying melody, even if one is unconscious, who knows if problems will arise in the long run?

Falling into a coma means leaving everything to fate, and even if it were a way out, most people present would not choose it.

But regardless, this is still a clue.

Given Kurapika's performance, Wu Pifu became somewhat interested. Instead of setting off immediately, he hovered in place to watch how these humans of this world would handle the situation before him.

This immediately prompted everyone present to take action. They did not waste Wu Pifu's kindness. The various vehicles and ships approached each other, and the Nen users began to discuss and gather information from each other according to their relationship. Even the ordinary people who had followed them joined in.

Don't underestimate these wealthy people who followed. They were able to board the giant ship to the Dark Continent, and they are not cannon fodder. They did not die in the previous chaotic battle. Each of these wealthy people was an important figure in their original society. They were knowledgeable and experienced, and because of their wealth and status, they knew many secrets that even Nen users did not know. Now, in order to survive, they naturally spoke their minds without reservation.

"The Dark Sonata is a mysterious melody that circulates in the darkness. It is said to be a piece created by the Demon King, containing the secrets of birth and death. It consists of multiple movements, multiple solo pieces, and multiple instrumental ensemble pieces. The exact number is unknown, the creator is unknown, the number of chapters currently circulating is unknown, and its function and effect are unknown. The only thing known at present is that the Dark Sonata carries a great deal of ominousness, and it is very likely that it possesses the characteristics of living beings."

In less than five minutes, Paris returned to the hovercraft with several large pages of documents. Kura also arrived with him, but he didn't bring the documents; instead, he brought two ordinary people with him.

“Great being, my master is too weak and frightened to come, so I have come on his behalf to report.”

These two ordinary people appeared to be someone in a position similar to a butler. One of them bowed slightly and spoke in a formal manner, while the other, though silent, also maintained a respectful attitude.

Seeing Wu Pifu nod, the butler said, "My master once collected a Dark Sonata, a cello solo. Because my master is cautious, he did not have it played immediately after obtaining it. Instead, he spent a lot of money to hire an exorcist to verify the Dark Sonata. He was a hermit from the Sachima Forest, a well-known exorcist in the industry."

At that moment, Peter Young casually remarked, "Andrewssa was confirmed dead eighteen years ago; he died in this accident?"

The butler nodded slightly to Peter Young before continuing, "After this exorcism expert arrived, he told my master that the Dark Sonata movement was carrying strange thoughts, which seemed to be both the thoughts of the living and the thoughts of the dead. He wasn't confident in removing the thoughts of the dead, but he could try removing the thoughts of the living. Then, under the master's arrangement, he began the exorcism in the quiet room..."

"Then he's probably dead," Wu Pifu thought.

But who knew that the butler would continue, "Five days later, my master opened the meditation room as instructed and found that the exorcism expert had turned into a human skin, a still-living human skin, while the cello solo of the Dark Sonata had vanished without a trace."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised, but then they realized it made sense. If the Dark Sonata was indeed related to the Bell of Hell, then it didn't seem unreasonable for those affected by it to become like this.

However, the butler was clearly not finished speaking. He continued calmly, "But this exorcism expert is indeed an expert. Although he has become human skin, he has not lost his consciousness in a short period of time. When my master brought in a medical team to try to treat him, he said some profound words that my master has remembered to this day. Even today, my master feels that these words have great value. I am here on behalf of my master to tell everyone about them."

"At that time, the exorcism expert was on his deathbed and his mind was becoming confused, but perhaps in his final moments, he said, 'No, our world is not a dream... at least I am definitely not a dream...' This is the message I bring to you all."

More than twenty Nen users had already gathered around, each of them looking thoughtful. Wu Pifu also tried his best to put on a thoughtful expression.

A few seconds later, Kurapika spoke first: "This might be a breakthrough. Dreams represent the dividing line between reality and illusion, and perhaps also the dividing line between the space of thought and the real world. The current question is, if the Dark Sonata is really related to the Bell of Hell, then how did it enter the human world?"

Paris chimed in, "Actually, humans began exploring the Dark Continent a long time ago. The excavations of some ancient ruins by the 5V Kingdom indicate that our ancestors may have even come from the Dark Continent. In countless expeditions in the past, most people did not return, but the very few who did return did not come alone... They brought back both hope and disaster. Even now, the 5V Kingdom's secret base still houses the bodies of people who died in the disaster. Yes, I'm not talking about bodies brought back from the Dark Continent."

Kurapika's eyes flickered, as if deep in thought.

Wu Pifu continued to try to maintain a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, a woman with dog ears in the group also spoke up: "That's right, I also learned from my sources that in several forbidden areas and wilderness areas... I mean in the human world, corpses with extremely strange deaths occasionally appear, but this news is covered up by the 5V Kingdom at the fastest speed. There is even a cleanup team within the Hunter Guild, which does not contact outsiders and is extremely mysterious, and is used specifically to do these cover-up things... Right, Paris?"

Paris smiled gently, neither refuting nor speaking.

Wu Pifu continued to nod thoughtfully, nodding repeatedly.

At this moment, Jin said from the side, "Internal strife is meaningless. The Hunter Guild itself is V5's black glove. As members of the Zodiac, you can't possibly not know this fact. Oh, I was one of the Zodiac before. Never mind... Now, with such precious time, are you here to settle old scores?"

The dog-eared woman paused for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said, "As you said, now is not the time for infighting, but there is an important issue: even considering the information we have, our knowledge of the Hellbell is still too limited."

"It's okay if it's less!"

Peter Young waved his hand and said, "We all know that any space of thought must identify its core rules from the moment it is created. All thoughts will operate around these core rules. Now that we know some of the most important pieces of information, we may be able to break the Hell Bells Calamity based on this!"

Many Nen users seemed to be deep in thought.

They are the elite of the elite, many of them are veterans of countless battles, but they are limited by their own strength and therefore cannot withstand the disaster. However, their mentality, fighting spirit, combat awareness and wisdom are all online, so they naturally have high spirits at this time.

At this moment, Kurapika looked at Wu Pifu, who had been deep in thought, and said, "Sir, you must already have a solution, right? Could you...?"

Wu Pifu immediately said decisively, "No, this is your battle. I made it clear beforehand that I have my responsibilities and obligations, but this is your battle, and you should strive and fight for it. You should understand this principle, right?"

Kurapika was a good boy. He nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, Master has already given us a very good opportunity. The Nen space is most afraid of being corrupted by rules. As long as Master can keep breaking the anchor points, the shorter the time we spend entering and leaving the Nen space, the less danger we will face. This is already a huge advantage and a great opportunity. I really shouldn't have hoped for more..."

Having said that, Wu Pifu dared not linger any longer. He withdrew his thoughtful expression, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, I have my battle, and you have yours. Now..."

"Go and obtain Nitromomi, the food of longevity!"
