I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

……

On the hotel room sofa near Xianshui Mountain, Jingyang, with Xiaodi's legs propped up as she sat beside him, asked, "Are you done?"

Handling tasks in two threads is not difficult for him.

"Nope."

On the other side of his head sat Biyou. The bunny girl casually said, one hand reaching over Jingyang's face to press against his chest, a laptop on her lap, the other hand tapping on the keyboard.

The green, code-like energy flowed down her arm, along her fingertips pressed against Jingyang's chest, and into Jingyang's heart, like a bag woven from code, embracing Jingyang's heart.

Limited edition, shrink-sized "circle".

"Is it ready?" Jingyang asked again, looking up to see Biyou's slender white arm, and beyond that arm was Xiaodi looking down at him.

"Not yet." Bi You, like an old Chinese medicine doctor, pressed her palms against Jing Yang's chest, frowning from time to time. "Why are you rushing me? Be careful, or I'll start charging you!"

Don't frown!

It's kind of scary...

Xiao Di rubbed Jing Yang's temples, and Jing Yang simply closed his eyes to rest.

Ultimately, the diagnosis from the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Biyou was: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that what's in your heart is indeed something similar to thought."

"Isn't this the same as not saying anything at all?" Jingyang opened his eyes.

*Smack!* Biyou slapped him across the face. "To call it Nen is the only way I can describe it. I've never seen such chaotic Nen. There are at least three or four different components intertwined together..."

The bunny girl pinched Jing Yang's cheeks together with one hand as he tried to speak, while supporting his chin with the other hand, frowning as she observed the partially chaotic yet clearly analyzed results on the screen.

"Life and death... resentment..."

She muttered to herself, "Why does it have both healing characteristics and aspects resembling the thoughts of the dead? The healing aspect can explain your extraordinary recovery speed... What about the thoughts of the dead? Hey, Zhen Yuanzi, has your heart been possessed or modified by the thoughts of some dead person?"

Jingyang's mouth was pinched shut, preventing him from speaking, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Biyou released her hand.

Jingyang said, "More or less. My heart became like this after my mother passed away."

Biyou looked over.

“But I hadn’t awakened my Nen at that time,” Jingyang said. “I didn’t know if she was a Nen user. Can ordinary people leave behind Nen after death?”

“Of course.” Biyou looked at him like he was an idiot. “Aren’t all Nen users originally ordinary people?”

“The reverse is also true,” the bunny girl said. “Even if someone is a Nen user, can they necessarily leave behind a Nen after death? Among Nen users, there are many who are not as good as ordinary people in terms of mind, perseverance, courage, obsession… The vast majority of ordinary people remain ordinary throughout their lives, perhaps only because they haven’t encountered the right opportunity or the right mentor to awaken their Nen.”

Xiao Shi asked curiously, "I've heard that some ordinary people also have their own awakened Nen abilities."

Biyou said, "Those people have inherently higher potential than ordinary people. Even if they receive guidance and learn step by step to master Nen, they can still become top-notch."

“Anyone who can awaken Nen on their own, even if it’s just figuring out the existence of Ki, is a rare talent.” She looked at Jing Yang and said, “I think, given your situation, after the changes in your heart, you’ve already become one of those people.”

Jing Yang sat up, rubbed his cheeks, and laughed, "Even so, this can be considered a case of being enlightened by someone, how can it be considered self-awakening?"

"Unless you already knew about the existence of Nen abilities back then."

Biyou said, "Otherwise, even if someone opens the pores of the body and you control the flowing energy without knowing it, it can barely be considered as a form of self-awakening."

She pointed to her head. "In the realm of thought, consciousness, subconsciousness, cognition... any difference makes a huge difference. Knowing and not knowing are two completely different things. Don't forget, the word 'concept' contains the concept of thought."

"Then I definitely don't qualify as a self-awakened talent. Who told me I read Hunter x Hunter manga in my past life?" Jing Yang thought to himself. But then he remembered that when he first transmigrated, he had no idea this was the Hunter x Hunter world; he had used Nen and his abilities to control wolves for his own purposes without any prior knowledge…

Chapter 144 A gasp of shock

After the old Chinese medicine doctor Biyou finished his consultation, he waved his small hand, and the laptop computer turned into a wisp of spiritual energy and dissipated.

She's a Conjuration type, unlike Manipulation types who are wary of revealing their Nen type. As long as the specific abilities of her conjured items are kept secret, she has nothing to worry about. Besides, Jingyang and the other person already knew she was a Conjuration type user. And, given her years of training, her strength wouldn't be limited to just this one Nen ability.

Biyou got up to say goodbye.

"That's it? You're leaving already?"

Jing Yang complained, "It's like you came at all! You didn't even explain the patient's condition clearly!"

Wearing a rabbit ear headband, Biyou rested one hand on her hip and said, "If the patient hasn't fully explained their condition, what good is the doctor's skill, no matter how advanced they are?"

Jingyang blinked.

Xiao Di blinked too. Indeed, although Jing Yang said he suspected that an abnormal thought resided in his heart and worried about potential unspeakable hidden dangers in the future, he did not tell this woman about the death energy.

"Okay, Dr. Rabbit, I'll confess."

Jing Yang raised his hands, "Within a radius of about 1 kilometer around me, whenever someone dies, a special kind of thought, which I call death energy, will uncontrollably invade my heart..."

Snapped!

Biyou materialized a laptop and tapped Jingyang on the head.

"I'm not a doctor. And don't call me Doctor Rabbit."

As if she had no bones, she leaned back on the sofa and sat down again, opening her laptop and typing away for a while.

Looking at the analyzed data on the screen, she suddenly realized and muttered to herself, "Death energy... so that's what this part means."

If you can sit, you won't stand; if you can lie down, you won't sit, right? Jing Yang glanced at the bunny girl. She really is a tech geek to the end, isn't she?

Biyou is always glued to her computer and phone, which almost made Jingyang mistake her for a hacker hunter, forgetting that she is actually an ancient text hunter...

That's right. Her ability is to analyze things. These chaotic and disordered analytical results, although not necessarily very ancient, are mostly extremely difficult documents to interpret.

He first encountered her when climbing Mount Sensui; she was investigating the divine script in a mountain cave. Mysterious characters formed from Nen—could there be anything more fitting for her strength and interests? Jingyang had reason to suspect that this bunny girl was involved in the Hunter Association's research on the divine script.

Interests and aspirations complement each other and are mutually causal, which is probably the best state for a Nen user.

As Bisky taught Gon and Killua in the manga, it's important to follow your first instinct when developing Nen abilities.

Little Di blinked again.

Jing Yang still didn't reveal the whole secret. Although he talked about the death energy, he didn't mention that when the death energy accumulated to a certain level, his body would uncontrollably undergo catalytic growth.

Biyou continued looking at the analyzed data for a while, then, without looking up, held up an index finger to Jingyang and said, "①, if you have time, you can go to the Hunter Association headquarters and find '戌' Qiduo of the Zodiac. She's a hunter specializing in difficult-to-diagnose diseases and has the data I've analyzed so far. She should be able to help you clear up the problem in your heart..."

"What about the second one?" Jingyang asked.

The bunny girl raised her second finger, "②, use my ability to perform a full-body, no-dead-angle scan and analysis of you."

Jingyang said, "①Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it first②."

If you're going to the Hunter Association headquarters, then since you're already there, it would be a waste not to take the Hunter Exam and get a proper license.

Since the purpose of going is to take the test and get the license, then it will have to be around the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

There's still about six months to go, it's a long time.

Biyou said, "Given the complexity of the thoughts residing in your heart, it will probably take at least a week to get a clear result, and even that result may not satisfy you."

“You said there are at least three or four ingredients mixed together, so it is indeed quite complicated. I can understand that.”

"But I don't want to do that."

"When are you free... um?" Jingyang paused abruptly, then tentatively asked, "Because this is a paid service?"

Biyou once again put down her laptop, clapped her hands, and got up from the sofa, saying, "Because I don't want to scan your whole body."

She looked at Jing Yang and said, "You're a manipulation type, right? Once people find out about your manipulation abilities, you'll be at a disadvantage."

"Whoa!"

Jingyang waved his hand magnanimously, "I prefer being passive."

Biyou rolled her eyes, sat on the coffee table, crossed her arms, and said, "I meant I would be passive."

Pointing at Jingyang and herself from afar, she said, "I feel like I owe you a favor for finding out about your abilities out of nowhere. I don't want that."

"If you get a proper diagnosis of my heart condition, we'll be even."

"Who knows if they can find out the truth?"

“Then I’ll pay, okay?” Jing Yang said. “Don’t look at me like this. I’ve climbed from the first floor to the 200th floor in the Sky Arena, so I still have a little money.”

Biyou asked curiously, "With your strength, you can directly jump to the 200th floor. What's so strange about that?"

Jingyang reminded him, "Who jumped floors? I meant fighting from the 1st floor to the 200th floor..."

Isn't this just taking advantage and making money? Bi You's dead fish eyes met Jing Yang's dead fish eyes.

Biyou crossed her legs and returned to the previous question, saying, "I am not a civilian hunter, and I do not accept private missions."

She flicked her nails. "Unless you apply to the association headquarters and get it approved before giving it to me, I won't do it."

That sounds nice, but it's basically just that you're a homebody who's too lazy to move, so what?

Jingyang thought to himself, "Only a god like Netero could command such a homebody."

Of the twelve members of the Hunter Association, apart from Rat and Golden Pig, they are all die-hard fans of Netero.

"Anyway, if you have time, go to the Hunter Headquarters."

Biyou is really leaving this time. "Qido is different from me. With your complicated situation, it's like a big bone that smells of meat. Qiduo, who likes difficult cases, can't help but pounce on you."

"Did you have to be so mean?" Jingyang was exasperated. "Although she is indeed the 'Dog' in the twelve earthly branches..."

"Goodbye."

Biyou waved without turning her head, her rabbit ear hair ornament swaying as she left the hotel room. As she turned the corner, she thought to herself, "Jingyang... he's the person Yinda investigated for so long half a year ago."

Six months ago, after Yinda left Ghost Island, he specifically searched for Jingyang's information in the association's database, but found nothing.

He originally wanted to ask Biyou, who was proficient in computer technology, for help, but gave up on that idea because of the opposing factional views between the two within the association.

Yinda himself gave up quickly, but the traces he left behind were accidentally discovered by Biyou, who was surfing the internet intensively—this unusual behavior of repeatedly checking the list of official hunters in the database was hard not to notice.

Bi You had only glanced at it briefly, but when she tried to search for the name Jing Yang using various methods, she found nothing, which was rather strange.

pseudonym?

Yinda would use this name to search in the association's database, which proves that this person named Jingyang was a professional hunter in front of Yinda, and even produced a hunter's license.

While Biyou was pondering this, she had already casually listed the most frequently searched item in Yinda's search records.

Hunter licenses do not contain personal information or markings, nor do they precisely reflect the individual identity of each professional hunter.
