I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

"Wow, that's impressive!" "Jing Jack" smiled and extended his hand. "My name is Ross, and I'm a painter. Would you like me to draw your picture?"

When Invers, one of the hunters, saw the other extend his hand, he also extended his hand to shake hands with "Jing Jack" and said calmly, "No need."

After coming into contact with the pentagram symbol drawn in red on "Jing Jack's" palm and with "Jing Jack's" aura, a rose-gold pentagram mark quietly formed on Infors's rough palm.

Another female hunter, Ruili, ignored "Jing Jack" and slapped his outstretched hand away. "Don't try to get close to me. You're a stranger of unknown origin. If you want to see our boss, we have to check you to see if you're carrying any dangerous weapons or poison. Is that alright?"

Although she was asking if there were any problems, Ruili had already started touching "Jing Jieke" all over his body.

Without a sound, a surge of energy was released from the woman's hand and entered her body.

"Oh, miss, you're up to no good!" "Jing Jack" immediately struck, grabbing the woman's wrist with a "snap," staring intently into her eyes, while simultaneously gripping her hand tightly with his other hand. "What kind of garbage have you been secretly dumping into my body?"

This person is also a Nen user!

Invers immediately understood.

Only the head steward beside him had a vague understanding. He knew that most of these folk hunters had some peculiar methods, almost like superpowers or magic, but it was just a guess and he didn't know much about them.

Despite her shock, Ruili remained calm. One of her hands was gripped so tightly that she couldn't pull it away, so she used her other hand to slap Jing Jieke's crotch.

"Sir, you're hurting my grip," she said coldly. "Could you please let go?"

"Jing Jieke" also said coldly, "You're hurting my grip too, can you let go, Miss?"

The head butler watched as the two men, one gripping the other's wrist and the other squeezing so tightly that their foreheads were beaded with sweat, still managed to maintain their composure and utter harsh words. He couldn't help but feel an urge to sigh deeply.

"Alright, alright, business is more important," Invers advised. "Rayli, you started it, so you were definitely in the wrong first."

"Humph!"

Ruili released her grip, nodded to the head housekeeper, and found nothing improper.

Invers's words actually had another layer of meaning: since Ruili had already taken the initiative and injected her energy into this person's body, he had fallen into Ruili's control and could no longer pose any threat.

"Then please," the head butler gestured. "The boss is in the room."

"Jing Jieke" adopted an expression of not wanting to argue with a young woman and calmly followed the head butler inside. Invers and Ruili followed closely behind, each with a rose-gold pentagram symbol imprinted on their palm.

Unsure whether there were any hidden bodyguards present, Jingyang did not immediately activate the Star Mark to directly control the two individuals and the head butler.

After all, if Jing Yang could successfully obtain the Crimson Eyes and leave, he didn't intend to expose the Star Mark. He would take the item and leave, then control those marked to break the Star Mark and remove the mark, and everyone could pretend nothing had happened. This operation system mark could be set up in advance, but it was best to avoid activating it if possible.

Follow the head butler into the room.

The spacious meeting room contained a long table and several sofas. However, it was empty at the moment.

In one corner of the room, many holes were cut into the wall and filled with books of all kinds. Between two beanbag chairs by the window, tea and snacks were laid out on a coffee table, and two people were sitting and chatting.

Jingyang recognized one of the two people, and felt that he also knew the other one.

The man in front of me was the target of my trip, the wealthy entrepreneur with bloodshot eyes who had bought the tutor's services. He looked very young, in his early thirties, in the prime of his life, full of vigor and ambition. But at this moment, he looked somewhat worried while drinking tea and chatting with others. He only straightened his expression after the head butler brought people in.

The other one is short and a little chubby, but his most striking feature is not his figure but his face.

His head was completely bald, but he had long, loose hair that cascaded over his head. His round face seemed somewhat cute at first glance, but his features were quite strange. He had large eyes but no eyebrows, giving him a villainous look. The most discordant feature was his pair of large, protruding teeth that looked like a rabbit's. Overall, he looked even less like a good person. Yet, his temperament was surprisingly harmonious and calm, exuding a sense of peace and tranquility as if he had seen through the world.

With eyes closed, judging solely from the perspective of sensing energy, this person appears almost like an elf. But with eyes open, the elf transforms into a monster.

If it were someone he knew, "Jing Jieke" felt that things might be a bit troublesome.

“Just stand there.” Sima looked over and raised his hand to stop “Jing Jack” from getting closer.

Trouble has begun.

Marco looked at "Jack Jing" and asked, "First tell me, why did you lie to them?"

It seems that it really is the person I know.

“You’re neither named Ross nor a painter,” Marco said with absolute certainty, his hands clasped together. “Am I wrong?”

melody.

"Jing Jieke" glanced expressionlessly at the bald, short guy opposite Si Ma Ke—it seemed this guy was indeed the Melody he knew.

At that moment, Xuanlu was also looking at him, and suddenly asked, "Do you know me?"

It feels numb.

"Jing Jieke" cursed inwardly. Melody was a music hunter. Just from her name and profession, you could tell that her ability lay in music.

The melody's hearing is exceptionally developed, a ten-thousand-fold upgraded version of the enhanced hearing ability that Jingyang and Xiaodi discovered after "condensing" their ears. It's the kind of monstrous hearing that can clearly hear you muttering to yourself in a breathy voice even through two buildings on a rainy day...

Having exceptional hearing is one thing, but what's most outrageous is that, as a top-tier musician, Melody can clearly hear other people's heartbeats from a great distance and, based on the rhythm and cadence of their heartbeats, discern whether they are lying, anxious, nervous, doubting themselves, or experiencing other emotions...

It belongs to another kind of telepathy.

In the face of melody, lying, pretending... all of these are meaningless.

So, "Jing Jie" stared with dead fish eyes and said, "Is it strange that I know you? You're not some kind of hermit master."

“But I rarely reveal my abilities to people I don’t know well,” Melody said softly.

Don't be surprised, this is a girl.

Melody was probably a beautiful girl back then. Unfortunately, a friend of hers got his hands on a sheet music called the "Dark Sonata" composed by the Demon King. After listening to just the flute part of the music, Melody suffered a calamity and was disfigured, turning into the grotesque figure she is now—and her friend, who was playing it, died suddenly.

In terms of personality, Xuanlu is a gentle and sweet girl.

But as a professional hunter, she still had all the necessary professional qualities. At this moment, she keenly seized on "Jing Jack's" weakness - being able to listen to "thoughts" was really too shameless.

“You know my abilities, right?” Melody asked bluntly.

Holy crap, are you cheating? Just because you're a human lie detector doesn't mean you can do whatever you want?

If the Dark Continent weren't teeming with monsters and didn't require a lie detector, I'd force you to join the Akatsuki right there and then, believe me...

"Jing Jieke" sighed, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Originally, I planned to interact with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was estrangement."

As soon as he spoke, the three people behind him all became alert.

The head butler's immediate warning was to get away and not cause trouble for the professionals—after all, not every butler is as outrageous as the Zoldyck family, where even a 10-year-old apprentice butler can wipe out a hundred or so veteran bounty hunters.

Inferno clenched his fists, his muscles bulged, and the aura around his body increased dramatically. He guessed that this was an enhancement type, which was pretty much what Jingyang had expected.

Ruili looked coldly at "Jing Jieke" and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

This person has already been affected by her Nen ability and is basically meat on the chopping block, so she is not flustered at all. She also suggested that everyone present should give her some face and not make a fuss.

"What do I want to say? What I want to say is..."

Just as "Jing Jie" was about to politely recite the Bible, Ruili suddenly sprang up, opened her arms, and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, let's take you down first."

boom!

Instantly, "Jing Jieke" exploded with energy—the energy that burst out did not form "refinement," but instead surged out in a torrent, completely out of his control.

"You, the one I've infused with energy, your energy is now mine," Ruili sneered. "Don't struggle. Since you're already mine, no matter how much you struggle, it's useless!"

The energy emanating from "Jing Jieke" continued to surge out, gradually detaching from his body.

Melody, who had been listening intently, suddenly exclaimed, "No! There's another heartbeat in the villa! One, two, three! There are three intruders!"

"But what if this originally belonged to me?"

Beneath Jing Jie's clothes, the rose-gold pentagram mark imprinted on his skin glowed faintly. The energy that was about to fly away from his body was forcibly pulled back and swished back into his body.

"What? This is impossible!" Ruili exclaimed in astonishment.

Without hesitation, Inferno clenched his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, and smashed it at "Jing Jack".

boom!

Failed again

Let's start over tomorrow

Dong dong dong

Chapter 152 Weapon Enhancement

Limited by the strength of the body that was Killer Jack, "Jack Jing" estimated that he would not be able to dodge the punch thrown by the strong man Invers.

If he tries to take it head-on, with Jack's small frame, he'd probably be crippled with one punch.

So, when Inferno, shrouded in white Nen, blasted towards him, "Jing Jack" activated the hidden star mark in the opponent's clenched palm—controlling the opponent to withdraw his force only when the opponent's fist touched his body, causing him to freeze for a moment, and then with a "bang," "Jing Jack" was sent flying.

It seemed like a big commotion, but in reality, it was mostly "Jing Jie Ke" jumping away on his own—leaping towards the wealthy man, Si Ma Ke, who was sitting on a beanbag chair next to the coffee table.

dong dong!

Invers' heart pounded, his face filled with astonishment. Why had he just...? He was a little confused, even more incredulous.

The sudden change in the rhythm of his heartbeat clearly reached the ears of the melody.

Equally clear was the sound of "Jing Jieke's" heartbeat.

This person appeared to have been knocked away by Invers, but his heartbeat rhythm didn't change much.

Furthermore, the sound of that punch was even more suspicious.

To the ears of a master melody who could discern psychological changes even from a heartbeat, the sound of the percussion was unmistakably fake.

It didn't hit the target at all!

Jing Jieke's heartbeat was steady and strong, clearly indicating that he had anticipated this "fake punch" and was fully aware of it!

In contrast, Invers himself, who had thrown the punch, appeared surprised and bewildered, his heart pounding wildly.

Could it be that this person somehow interfered with Invers' attack?

All the thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and at the same time, Melody took out his flute, put it to his lips and began to play.

The melodious tune is calm and peaceful, like a spring day in the countryside, with a warm breeze on your face, dissolving all the anger and impulsiveness in your heart...

The melody releases the Nen ability of the user.

She can elevate the infectiousness of her music to an unparalleled level by releasing her breath.

For this reason, Melody does not participate in events or competitions such as concerts at the Fairy Water Mountain Art Exhibition. Her music is inseparable from her telepathic abilities, and Melody does not want to use it to make those talented performers and musicians appear dull and have their efforts wasted.

"Jing Jack," who was lunging towards Si Ma Ke sitting opposite the melody, gradually stopped his charge after hearing the peaceful music.

The song "Spring in the Wilderness" instantly calmed all the listeners, immersing them in the music and soothing their restlessness.
