Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 3: Crisis X
Why--

Will Peeler Lev from the Phantom Troupe be here?
Moreover, he transformed into Sai Xin's appearance, which was obviously a targeted action.

Looking at Peeling Lev who had lost his transformation ability, Moro's pupils trembled.

In a split second, Moro thought of a lot of things.

He was sure that Peeler Lev had come specifically to cause trouble for him.

Then he thought about Saishin's situation and the possibility that there were other Phantom Troupe members nearby.

The worst outcome would be that the Phantom Troupe would act collectively and choose him as their prey.

but--

What about motivations and reasons?

Moreau and the Brigade never crossed paths.

Was it a spur of the moment purchase, or was he attracted by his antique shop?
Unlikely.

Not to mention the value of the antique shop, it is not even ranked among the best in Youkexin City. With the style of the Phantom Troupe who dare to rob all the goods in the auction house, how could they be interested in his antique shop?

Whim?
Even more impossible.

If it was really a spur of the moment move, he would not have gone to the trouble of attacking Sai Xin first, and he would even have to take a more cautious approach like transforming.

This was obviously a plan made in advance to make the outcome of the action foolproof.

And those in the brigade who insist on doing this...

Chrollo Lusilu.

The worst possible scenario.

This is enough to show that the members of the brigade who attacked him, in addition to Peeling Lev, included at least Kuroro and Paknotta who was inseparable from Kuroro.

It's dangerous...

But it's at times like this that you need to stay calm.

Why did the Phantom Troupe attack him?

There is no point in getting to the bottom of this right now; what we should be considering is how to escape from this dangerous situation.

Moro suddenly stepped back and picked up an ashtray as he passed the visitor desk in front of the door.

In the wind and rain.

Peeling Lev saw what Moreau did, but he didn't care much, and after his disguise was exposed, he was not in a hurry to attack.

He failed to complete the captain's arrangement, but the result would not change.

"Ok?"

Lev suddenly raised his eyelids.

A muffled sound was heard in the antique shop, and then the lights in the shop went out and fell into darkness.

Seeing this scene, Lev realized that Moreau picked up the ashtray in order to destroy the switch as quickly as possible.

But what's the use?
Peeling Lev still did not move, standing in the wind and rain.

Inside the dark antique shop.

Moro looked towards the back door and could clearly feel a surge of violent murderous intent, which was not concealed at all.

It's blocked.

Moreau let out a sigh.

From the way Peeler Lev behaved, it was inferred that there was a high probability that Chrollo and Paknotta were nearby, but it was clear that there were more than three...

With absolutely no intention of meeting the murderous intent coming from the back door, Morrow tried to remain calm as much as possible and immediately walked out of the antique shop.

In just a short while, three more people appeared on the street.

The leader had short black hair and a purple cross tattoo in the center of his forehead. He had a pair of dark and deep eyes, and his calm expression revealed a hint of coldness.

The person on the left is a tall and plump blonde woman with cold eyes and eyebrows, but her overall beauty is ruined by her hooked nose.

The person on the right is a blond, baby-faced young man with a pair of emerald green eyes and a smile on his face.

Chrollo, Paknotta, and the Knight.

Some distinctive features in the face allowed Moro to recognize the man's identity instantly, and his heart sank.

Kuroro put his hands in his pockets and looked at Moro as if he was looking at a dead object without any life meaning.

Beside him, the knight put one hand on his waist and smiled, "Very alert and decisive. It seems that he knows us..."

"Just control it first."

Paknotta hugged her arms and held up her plump breasts.

Kuroro raised his right hand silently and mobilized his mental energy to move it to his palm.

Watching Kuroro's movements of mobilizing his mind energy, Moro's eyes were solemn, and there was no emotion in his tone: "The Phantom Troupe... really thinks highly of me, but there has never been any direct or indirect contact between you and me, right?"

Kuroro's eyes were as calm as dead water, and he remained silent.

The other members of the brigade also showed no intention of answering.

Don't answer?

Morrow took a deep breath and tried to think of a way to escape.

At this moment, Kuroro used his Nen ability.

"Thief's Ultimate Intention"

As his mind energy surged, a book with a red palm print appeared out of thin air in his right hand.

Wow…

Facing the sudden rain, the book turns pages by itself.

When the page stopped, a monocle with a golden chain attached to it appeared out of thin air in Kuroro's left hand.

When Moro saw the monocle that Kuroro materialized, his expression suddenly changed, and he didn't know whether to be relieved or angry.

That monocle is Saixin's manifested ability.

Now that this ability has been taken away by Kuroro, it means that Saishin is still alive.

But with the Phantom Troupe's style, even if they were still alive, their end would surely be very miserable...

Kuroro held the monocle but did not put it on his face.

"Not urgent."

He spoke slowly and stopped Lev who was about to take action.

Originally, Kuroro wanted to use the action of materializing the monocle to influence Moro's mind, thereby creating an opportunity to ensure that Moro was captured alive.

The weird thing is……

There was no trace of surprise or confusion in Moreau's reaction.

When a companion's ability was used by someone who came to cause trouble.

Even if one's mind is extremely firm, one should at least show the doubts that a human being should have.

But the Morro that Kuroro saw did not show any reaction such as shock, surprise, or confusion. Instead, he was...

Happy?

What are you happy about?
The possibility that Kuroro could think of was that the moment Moro saw the monocle, he realized that the person with the ability was still alive.

Well, the premise for making such a judgment is to have some understanding of his special ability "Thief's Ultimate Intention".

This is very interesting.

"Moreau? ... As you said, there has never been any direct or indirect contact between us."

Kuroro gave a conclusion in an affirmative tone, and then a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

"But your reaction is telling me that you - understand my telepathic ability."

It's not a question, nor is it a guess.

But it is the final conclusion.

Hearing what Kuroro said, Xiake, Paknotta, and Peelerev all showed surprised expressions.

"..."

Moro was silent, feeling somewhat surprised.

Just because he saw the brief change in Saixin's ability, Kuroro saw through the clues and made the final conclusion with confidence.

This is Chrollo Lucillo.

Moro suppressed the waves in his heart and forced himself to look at Paknotta.

If there is still a chance to escape, it is...

intelligence.

Moro was almost certain that Paknotta had used her memory-searching ability on Saixin to pry out information about herself.

And this intelligence contained a piece of wrong information.

That is……

In Saixin’s opinion, I am a reinforcement type.

But actually, I was released.

The opportunity lies therein.
