Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 264 Arrangement and Instant Kill
We only accept commissions to help people overcome their suicidal thoughts.

This is why Kim is interested in Morrow.

of course.

The deeper reason is that he truly needs a mind-removing master who can eliminate the thought of death.

Now I've finally met Morrow, and coincidentally witnessed how Morrow handled things during the fight, as well as publicly punishing him for his voyeuristic behavior by taking out his phone...

This made Jin even more interested in the excessively young boy in front of him.

Putting aside the unverified methods of exorcism, this level of ability, considering his age...

That's truly remarkable.

Jin didn't care about being labeled a peeping tom. He leaped from the power line and landed on the sewage-filled ground, laughing, "Since your companion has already explained the situation for me, I don't need to introduce myself again, right?"

"..."

Moro didn't reply immediately, but simply flipped his phone over deftly.

His gaze lingered briefly on the message before he put his phone away and asked directly, "What's the request?"

"The risk of death at the entrance of a ruin is extremely high."

Seeing that Moro got straight to the point, Jin quickly gave his answer.

Although it was only said that the risk was extremely high, anyone who works with Nen removal abilities could immediately understand its meaning.

But for Moro, higher risk means more annual ring energy.

"I'll take this commission, but there's a caveat..."

Moro said calmly, "I need to assess the intensity of the death thought on-site. If the risk of removing it is beyond my capabilities, then I have the right to refuse this removal work."

"of course."

Jin readily nodded. “Removing the will to die is different from other types of work. The initiative is in your hands. In addition, even if you are ultimately unable to complete the work, I will pay you a fee for your trip, so you won’t have made a wasted trip.”

"can."

Moro smiled upon hearing this.

Having absorbed intense death thoughts multiple times, he has absolute confidence in the upper limit of his annual ring ability.

The reason for making these polite remarks was not to obtain Jin's promise, but to portray himself as a "normal" exorcist.

"One more thing."

Moro suddenly spoke.

Jin, with his hands in his pockets and an expression of normalcy, said, "Go ahead."

"We came to Youkexin for an auction tomorrow night."

Moro looked directly at Jin and said calmly, "This is important, so I can't go with you right away."

"It's for the Scarlet Eyes, I guess... I understand."

Jin nodded, not in a hurry.

When he heard Jin mention Scarlet Eyes directly, Moro's eyebrows twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Jin to have investigated to this extent.

However, the fact that Jin personally made this trip to remove the deathly intent from the ruins shows how much he values ​​this matter.

Jin glanced at the slight strangeness in Moro's eyes, but didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he suddenly pulled his right hand out of his pocket and pointed to the mangled corpse on the ground, which had been affected by the explosion.

"It's necessary to remind you that this person is one of the Ten Elders' subordinates. Although I don't know the details of your conflict, things have come to this point. You'd better be prepared for tomorrow night's auction."

His words made no sense, after all, this was the Ten Elders' territory, and the Youkexin Auction was an important way for the Ten Elders to make money once a year.

Even if it's just to save face, let alone any subsequent retaliation against Moro, how could they possibly allow Moro and his group to swagger into the auction house?

As for why the Ten Elders sent people to attack Moro...

Kim had no interest in this; he only spoke up to remind him to create an opportunity to demonstrate some value.

If Tessa, King's personal exorcist, were here, she would definitely be familiar with King's shrewd methods and would probably curse him out.

Back then, she...

That's how they were tied to the chariot by Jin.

"One of the Ten Elders' men..."

Moro looked at the mangled corpse without changing his expression.

He wasn't worried about falling out with the Ten Elders, but he was afraid it would affect the fierce bidding tomorrow night.

Thinking of this, Moro turned his gaze to Jin.

Noticing Moro's gaze, Jin was prepared and volunteered enthusiastically, "How about... I take care of this? After all, the faster you resolve this, the sooner I can get started on my end."

"Then trouble you."

Moro readily agreed, showing gratitude to Jin, but in his heart he was thinking: I was just worried about not having enough funds for the auction, so I'll let him pay for it first, then I can easily absorb the death thoughts and use the reward to offset it.

"Little things, little things."

Jin smiled and waved his hand, but in his heart he was thinking: After winning the bid for the Crimson Eyes, he could not take the money from him. In this way, he could use this small favor to make him more serious and proactive in dealing with the deathly will of the ruins.

Each of them has his own thoughts.

Moro knew that absorbing death energy was an easy thing, but he must not appear too relaxed. Instead, he had to show the danger and difficulty of removing death energy.

In this way, they should be able to get more rewards, which can then be easily used to offset the costs of bidding fiercely.

Jin knew that removing the will to die was a high-risk matter. There were not many exorcists who possessed this ability, and he was extremely cautious in assessing the risks and would not easily take them.

I'm just making slight use of the existing conditions and doing a small favor. This should make Moro more attentive to the matter of eliminating thoughts.

As their thoughts raced, they exchanged a smile.

At this moment.

Tessa, who was at a distant archaeological site, and the cattle and horses responsible for the daily maintenance and operation on Greed Island, all felt a sudden jolt.

Ten minutes later.

Kurapika and Menchi arrived in the alley and met up with Morrow.

Moro then briefly explained the situation.

"The attackers were the Ten Elders' men. Considering that it might affect our fierce bidding tomorrow night, we asked Jin to handle this matter."

"..."

Upon hearing Moro's words, Kurapika and Menchi instinctively looked at Ging.

Meeting their slightly surprised gazes, Jin said earnestly, "I guarantee I will complete the mission."

"..."

Kurapika and Menchi fell silent for a moment.

Kurapika, in particular, still finds it hard to connect his identity as one of the five great Nen users with the casual and slovenly man in front of him.

For Menchi, that sense of disillusionment was even more pronounced.

She originally thought that the world's top five Nen users, if not imposing, should at least be handsome, right?
But she couldn't sense any qualities related to "strong" in Jin.

Ignoring Kurapika and Menchi's reactions, Jin, after making his assurances, asked with interest, "So, what do you plan to do with the one you just 'let go'?"

"Find them, then kill them."

Moro replied without even thinking.

A glint flashed in Jin's eyes as he thought of the ability Moro had just used.

Even though he didn't have much information, he could still glean some clues from Moro's actions. So when he saw Moro gather energy in his fingertips and then suddenly cancel it, he guessed that Moro must have implanted something like a coordinate into the person controlling the human bomb.

Or rather, it is a kind of guidance mark under the capability mechanism.

This explains why Moro was so confident in gathering energy in the alley, preparing to launch an emission-type attack on the unknown manipulator across the buildings.

But compared to these analytical results...

King wanted to see the excitement again and learn more about Moro.

........................

The annual Yukexin Auction will last for a full ten days.

During this period, auctions of all sizes were held one after another.

Besides the largest auction houses in the public eye, such as Southpis, there are also underground auctions that involve huge flows of money.

These transactions, conducted in the shadows, often bring the Ten Old Men even greater profits.

For this reason, the Ten Elders attach great importance to security at underground auctions, and every year they send members of the Shadow Beasts to secretly maintain order and ensure that these shady transactions can proceed smoothly.

"Have you contacted Pavel and the others yet?"

In a key passageway of an underground auction house, a wolf-like, sinister-looking man coldly swept his gaze over several henchmen dressed in black suits and wearing black sunglasses.

One of his men, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, replied with taut nerves, "Not yet. We can't get through to their phones. We're currently investigating their movements with all our might."

"Tch, I really don't know what's wrong with them, they're just asking for trouble..."

The sick dog had its paws in the pockets of its faded jeans, its cold gaze sweeping into the depths of the passageway, where the sounds of excitement emanating from the auction house could be faintly heard.

The very important auction was drawing to a close. Although nothing unexpected had happened, Pavel and his team's unauthorized absence from their posts was a serious violation of the rules.

As for how to deal with Pavel and the others in this situation, there's no need to specifically ask the Ten Elders for their opinions...

blah blah.

Suddenly, a series of light footsteps approached.

The sick dog looked in the direction of the sound.

The newcomer was a short man with thinning hair.

It was none other than the porcupine, another of the Yin Beasts.

"No need to waste energy investigating, the bats have already been found."

Porcupine walked over, glanced at the few black-suited subordinates who were sweating profusely and trembling with fear, and said, "We're still short of people at the East Gate passage. Go and help them out."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the porcupine's words, the gang members felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly returned to their posts.

They had heard that sick dogs love to tear apart the flesh of those who have made mistakes, so they were always worried that they would be implicated in Pavel and his group's unauthorized departure from their posts.

The sick dog looked down at the porcupine and asked, "Where are they?"

"Three died in the Sky Botanical Garden, one died in an alley on Platinum Street, and only Pavel is alright. He's been intercepted by bats and is currently in the armory on Second Street."

The porcupine said in a light, airy tone.

"what?"

The sick dog looked surprised.

The porcupine shrugged and said, "Don't ask me. I just received the news from the bat. You'd better go there. Even though Pavel and the others acted on their own, they still managed to slip out right under your nose."

"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you."

The sick dog frowned, then walked straight toward the entrance of the passage.

The porcupine watched the sick dog's retreating figure and couldn't help but purse its lips.

Although it's unclear what Pavel and his men did, their deaths are still a troublesome matter.

Fortunately, it has nothing to do with him.

Let the sick dog worry about it on its own.

The porcupine thought to itself.

Second Street, in a tin warehouse located in the construction area.

This is where gangsters store their weapons, and there are usually a lot of people stationed here.

The auction is currently at its peak, and most of the firearms in the warehouse have already been distributed, so there are naturally not many people left to guard this place.

Pavel is the Meteor City ability user who manipulated human bombs to attack Moro.

After his attack failed, he received news that his other comrades had been killed, so he decisively retreated temporarily and returned to the warehouse to rejoin his comrades.

As soon as he met up with his companions, he was cornered in the warehouse by a bat, one of the members of the Shadow Beasts.

"Aren't you going to explain?"

Wearing a black eye mask and only a black pair of briefs, the Shadow Beast Bat descended from mid-air, folded its pair of black fleshy wings, and looked expressionlessly at Pavel and the others who were walking out of the warehouse.

Pavel took a deep breath and said, "There's nothing to say. If you pretend this never happened, then we'll continue to serve the Ten Elders..."

"That's an interesting answer."

A surge of raging spiritual energy erupted from the Yin Beast Bat, which coldly said, "Putting aside the question of accountability, the person who could kill Jonah and the others so swiftly must be quite powerful. So... what exactly did you do?"

"revenge."

Pavel Road.

"revenge?"

The shadowy bat's eyes turned cold as it said, "This is very interesting. What 'time' do you think it is now?"

"..."

Pavel remained silent.

During the important Yuxin Auction, instead of staying at their posts, they actively caused trouble...

They had mentally prepared themselves for the consequences before taking action.

"Um!?"

Suddenly, the Yin Beast Bat's eyes changed, and it looked sharply at the top of the warehouse as a mental projectile hurtled towards it like a meteor.

Pavel and his companions all looked at the volleyball immediately.

Even though they clearly saw that the bullets were not very powerful, they immediately went on high alert.

But the next moment,
A figure appeared out of thin air, wielding a red blade, and plunged it straight into Pavel's forehead.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh and bone immediately drew the attention of the bats.

As they turned their gaze to the suddenly appearing figure and the astonished Pavel, their expressions changed drastically.

when……!?

In that instant, the bats felt a powerful aura wash over them, and their hearts began to race uncontrollably.

Because in that instant, they realized a terrible truth.

The figure that suddenly appeared before them could easily kill any one of them.

It's just that Pavel was unlucky enough to become this figure's first target.

And this figure was none other than Moro, who arrived riding on a flying star.
