Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 258 Exorcism Work
In order to make it to the Yorknew City auction on September 1st, Morrow contacted Menchi in advance and asked her to bring the Chimera to meet him at Kukuroo Mountain.

I didn't expect it to arrive at such a perfect time.

Moro looked up and saw the chimera swooping down from the sky.

It had grown quite a bit bigger since I last saw it; it seems the food in Liuying Kingdom is indeed quite good.

"Roar!"

Chimeras have a pair of sharp black beaks, but when they open and close, they emit a deep and powerful roar.

It seemed to sense Moro's presence. Its red downy neck, shaped like a long-necked dragon, quickly drooped down, and its huge bird head stretched eagerly toward the ground, as if it wanted to land before its limbs could.

Moro observed the approaching chimera, its membranous wings resembling bat wings, which were quite imposing when extended, and its scaly limbs, which were becoming increasingly thick and powerful.

However, he knew that the most aggressive part of the chimera was its tail with spiral-shaped mouthparts.

The chimera folded its membranous wings, and the shockwave it created upon landing stirred up the surrounding sand and dust.

As soon as it landed, it eagerly brought its enormous bird head close to Moro.

However, it is extremely intelligent.

Seeing Moro bracing his hands on the stone door, preparing to exert force, he forcefully suppressed the urge to rub against it, instead staring intently at his master, who was so close to him, with his scarlet beast eyes.

At the same time, it noticed a large white wolf lying on the ground, trembling, not far inside the stone gate.

It naturally regarded Sanmao as food.

So even though it didn't look at Sanmao, the bud-like growth at the end of its tail had already quietly opened, revealing densely packed spiral teeth, locking onto Sanmao from a distance, as if ready to devour it at any moment.

Sanmao was terrified at this moment.

This originates from one of the most primitive instinctive reactions of living beings.

Even though it was trained to be a ruthless killing machine that only obeyed the rules, under the blood pressure emanating from the Chimera, it was like a weak animal encountering its natural enemy, its whole body stiffened, and it didn't even have the most basic will to resist.

This demonstrates the absolute dominance of the chimera in its ecological niche.

After all, mythical beasts are extremely rare and powerful beings.

It's just a question of what kind of status a mythical beast of Chimera's caliber would occupy in the Dark Continent once it reaches maturity.

Moro peered through the crack in the door at Sanmao, who was too frightened to move, then withdrew his hands and let the heavy trial gate slowly close.

This action also helped Sanmao out of a difficult situation.

As the heavy stone door closed, the chimera didn't necessarily want to eat Sanmao. It slowly closed its spiral mouthparts and then affectionately nuzzled Moro with its huge bird head.

Kurapika and Kalpachi had met Chimera in the Land of Ryuo and knew that it was particularly close to Moro, so they were not surprised.

Killua was indeed startled by the chimera at first, but after calming down, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and examine the strange beast in front of him.

Unlike the magical beast kept at home, the Chimera clearly possessed an innate predator aura, giving people a strong visual impact simply by standing there.

No wonder Sanmao was so frightened.

As Killua pondered this, he also saw how docile Chimera was in front of Morro, and he felt that Morro was truly a very powerful person.

If we're talking about people who think Moro is amazing, there's another one in the audience.

That was Jiebujie, who was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

He originally thought that the Zoldyck family, capable of taming creatures like Sanmao, was the most powerful family he knew.

But I never imagined that there would be such a terrifying creature as the chimera in the world, which cannot be explained by ordinary reasoning, and that someone could tame such a creature so docilely.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably would never have believed that such a thing existed in the world.

Moro raised his hand and gently stroked the red fur on the top of the chimera's head.

Chimera squinted, enjoying Moro's caresses.

Seeing this, Kurt temporarily put aside the sadness of saying goodbye to Moro, carefully tiptoed, and, imitating Moro, reached out to gently stroke the chimera's fur.

Feeling the soft touch on his fingertips, Kurt's lips curled into a slight smile.

Chimera is knowledgeable about human nature and had already discerned the companionship between Kaldor and Morrow back in the Land of Ryuo.

So it merely glanced at Kurt with a slight turn of its eyes, without resisting Kurt's advances.

"Tsk."

At that moment, Menchi lightly leaped off the chimera's back.

She crossed her arms and watched as the usually fierce and ruthless Chimera once again behaved like a docile kitten in front of Moro, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"There are only two days left before the auction starts. If there's nothing else going on, we should hurry up and get going."

Menqi urged him impatiently.

In terms of time, it is indeed quite urgent.

Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that something you want might be pushed into the auction midway through the process.

Therefore, it's best to arrive at Yorkshire before the auction starts to avoid missing out on what you want.

Moro nodded to Menchi, then looked at Kurt beside him and asked, "Should we have the Chimera take you up the mountain? That would be faster."

"no need."

Kurt shook his head, his hair fluttering in the wind, and said softly, "You're in a hurry, let's get going."

"Okay, let's go first."

Moro smiled, nimbly leaped onto the back of the Chimera, and then beckoned Kurapika and Menchi to come up.

Kurt looked up at Moro, who had already jumped onto the chimera, and a sense of reluctance gradually spread across his face.

Just as he was about to ask Moro when he would come again, Killua beat him to it before he could even open his mouth.

"Moro, when are you coming to play again?"

Killua's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Moro glanced subtly at Kurt, who was also showing signs of anticipation.

He probably won't come back to Kukuroku Mountain again until he's dealt with Illumi.

He even felt that if Illumi knew he had spent the whole day with Killua and Killua in Chimney Town, and had given Killua an unwarranted expectation...

Given Illumi's personality, he'll probably become even more insane.

"I'll come again after I finish what I'm doing."

Of course, Moro couldn't reveal his true thoughts; he simply gave a vague promise.

Although Killua didn't know what Moro was busy with or when he would be free, the fact that he received a reply saying "I'll come again" was enough.

After a while.

Chimera spread its enormous membranous wings, carrying Moro and the others into the sky, and quickly disappeared from Kurt and Killua's sight.

Kurt stared at the sky, where no one could be seen anymore, and felt a pang of loss.

Killua, with his hands behind his head, suddenly asked, "Karto, do you know what Morro is busy with? Is it going to take a long time?"

Why are you suddenly asking about this?

Kurt composed himself and turned his head to stare at Killua's profile.

Killua felt a little embarrassed by Kalluto's stare, but he maintained a good facade and calmly explained, "I was just curious."

"Oh, Moro wants to help Kurapika find the eyes of his people. He said it will be time-consuming, laborious, and cost a lot of money, and it will be difficult to complete in the short term."

Kurt's eyelids drooped.

Kalluto actually wanted to help find the Scarlet Eyes, but because of Illumi's situation, he was somewhat unable to do so.

"Eye?"

Killua looked confused.

Kal't said softly, "Brother, please don't ask. This is Kurapika's private matter, and I can't say more about it."

"alright."

Killua was curious, but he didn't force Kalluto. He could find a way to investigate himself anyway.

"what!"

Killua suddenly cried out in surprise.

Kurt looked at his brother, who seemed to have changed, with a puzzled expression.

Killua clapped his hands in annoyance and said, "I forgot to exchange contact information with Moro and Kurapika."

As he spoke, he looked at Kurt, his eyes gleaming with hope.

“Kurt…”

"No."

"Huh? I haven't said anything yet!"

"Just don't."

"...!"
-
The destruction of the Phantom Troupe allowed Kurapika to fulfill one of his wishes.

His other obsession was to find the eyes of his people.

I don't know how far this road will take, or how much time and energy it will consume.

But he will continue on this path without any regrets.

On the morning of September 9th.

With its amazing endurance and speed far exceeding that of airships, the Chimera finally managed to deliver Morrow and his group to Yorknew City before the auction began.

However, the Chimera was ultimately not suited to appearing in human cities, so it could only land in the Goud Desert on the outskirts of Yorknew City.

Despite being called a desert, the Goude Desert is actually a desolate, rocky area with sparse vegetation.

The area has little sand and soil; instead, it is full of rugged rocky mountains.

In the wilderness far from the road, you can see iconic, towering red rock pillars, scattered like giant monuments.

Moro left Chimera atop one of the tallest red pillars for the time being, then walked along the driveway with Menchikurapika towards Yorknew City.

Auctions are usually held in the evening; it's still 10 a.m. now.

So there is still plenty of time.

The most troublesome thing is probably the funding.

To settle his commission with the Zoldycks, Moreau now only has a few hundred million jin of gold and owes Conzai over ten billion.

Kurapika goes without saying; he just got his Hunter License this year and then trained with Bisky for almost half a year.

So let alone making money, I still spent more on food, clothing, housing, and transportation than I did during that period.

Menchi's financial situation is better, though; he has a little over a billion.

She was originally considered a moderately wealthy woman.

However, in order to help Moro find a weapon that could replace the Red Jade Bird Knife, she spent a lot of money on intelligence channels.

So even though she worked and earned money in Liuying Kingdom, she only had about one billion in the end.

The three of them pooled their money together, which amounted to just over 1.4 billion.

This money, if placed in the free market, could be used to purchase goods freely from various stalls.

But at Southpis auction house, where the entrance fee is 12 million, 1.4 billion would probably only be enough to buy two items.

Not to mention the possibility of a fiery red eye, or the psychic artifacts that Moreo might want.

However, if the Serlo Seven kitchen knife that Menchi wants is put up for auction, he should be able to get it for under 1 billion.

"It's still early. Before the auction starts tonight, we can split up and go to the free market to buy things. As long as we can find items with Nen aura attached, we can usually make a lot of money."

Moro's gaze followed the driveway to the distant city skyline.

Although funds were severely insufficient, he wasn't in a hurry.

If an item imbued with Nen appears at the auction, then bid on it if you can, but it doesn't matter if you can't.

What he truly valued were objects imbued with the thought of what would happen after death.

He could easily follow last year's example and use his position as a folk exorcist to obtain a free share of the annual energy from collectibles that exude an ominous aura.

Speaking of escaping the thoughts of death, Moro could now consider making money from that.

He had previously looked into information about exorcists, but even on websites dedicated to professional hunters, there was very little information related to exorcist requests.

I guess so...

People who need to eliminate their worries are mostly unwilling to expose their predicaments in the fast-paced information flow of the internet.

Most exorcists who possess the power to exorcise thoughts do not like to show their faces in public.

Moreover, in this professional field, it has almost become an industry standard not to easily show the process of exorcising thoughts in front of outsiders.

Therefore, even with a skilled intelligence operative like Chrollo and a highly practical Hunter's License, the Phantom Troupe in the original work still struggled to find a Nen exorcist who could help Chrollo break free of his contract.

In the end, it was only through Kurt's abilities that they finally found an exorcist.

Moro had his concerns, but now his strength has increased to level 70.

In terms of hardware alone, it can be said to be among the top-tier players, so there is no need to worry about potential risks.

With that in mind, Moro took out his phone and sent a message to Argo, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, asking Argo to help him post information about accepting exorcism requests on some major websites.

Of course, Morrow does more than just business with hunters.

As long as the price is right, he is willing to perform exorcisms for ordinary people as a folk exorcist.

"Moro, what are you doing?"

As they walked, Menqi glanced at the phone that Moro had just put away and asked curiously.

Moro said, "I plan to make money using 'mind removal'. I just asked a friend to help me post information about accepting mind removal requests."

At this point, Morro paused for a moment, "Also, once we get to Yorknew City, find a computer immediately and help me post it on the Hunter website."

"It's a minor issue, but..."

Mencius asked, "When are you planning to take a license test?"

"If you have time, let's do it this year."

Moro replied casually.

Kurapika remained silent, but he knew why Moro wanted to make money as quickly as possible.

It wasn't just to repay Kang Zai's money, but also to help him find the eyes of his people.

Because Red-Eyed Jewels are collectibles, they would normally have to be purchased at a high price unless plundered.

"Let's speed things up, we don't have much time."

Moro, eager to get to the free market, quickened his pace.

Menchi and Kurapika followed closely behind.

Cars were passing by in the adjacent lane.

Just in the lane behind, one of several black sedans.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Juezi Jue La immediately noticed Moro's back, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

at the same time.

Somewhere in the world, a disheveled man, engrossed in intense internet surfing, suddenly stumbles upon information related to "removing thoughts of death."

"Oh?"

The man named Jin immediately became interested.
