I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

"Your look is much more eye-catching," Machi commented on Kubi. "Do you need me to cut your hair?"

"It doesn't have to be..."

The three chatted as they walked away.

Meanwhile, in front of the huge electronic display screen for today's flights, Xiao Di found an empty seat and sat down.

"It's the Phantom Troupe..."

Xiao Di was indeed a little curious about those people, but her boss told her to come to the airport and keep an eye on today's flight information, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Chapter 56 No Betrayal

In the airport ticket hall, Xiao Di was watching the flight display screen while waiting for Jing Yang. About half an hour later, someone suddenly patted her left shoulder from behind.

Xiao Di turned around and poked her cheek with a finger. Xiao Di blinked innocently, looking at Jing Yang behind her.

Jingyang couldn't help but laugh, handed her a drink, sat down in the empty seat next to her, and comfortably took a sip of his own. "How is it?"

Xiao Di took a sip, "It's delicious..."

"Doraemon, I'm asking about flights."

"Oh," Little Drop said, holding her drink. "The flight to the Republic of Patocia is sold out today; you might need to book in advance. Flights to other parts of the continent of Everica won't depart until 5 p.m. at the earliest. The fastest flight we can board right now with tickets still available is to the Kingdom of Guganyu; boarding starts in two hours."

The Republic of Batochia is the country where the Sky Arena is located. It is situated in the eastern part of the continent of Everica, while in the west lies a famous landmark—the stronghold of the Zoldyck family, a notorious assassin clan.

As for the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, it is located on the continent of Sansame, south of Evorica. The Hunter Association headquarters and the Hunter Test site are all located here.

"Then let's buy tickets for the trip to Guganyu two hours later." Jing Yang said, sipping his drink. "Once we get there, we can go to the Sky Arena, or we can wander around the Hunter Association area first."

"Oh." Xiao Di nodded, and Jing Yang took out the hunter's license from his body. "Here, see if they can give you a discount on the ticket."

……

Xiao Di went to the ticket office and bought two spaceship tickets.

Having a hunter's license to clear the way was indeed very convenient; she didn't need to show any identification—there was even a special ticket purchase lane for professional hunters at the ticket office, and it was all done in just a few minutes.

When Xiao Di returned, she saw Jing Yang fiddling with a box in the same spot.

The box contained ten custom-made rings neatly arranged.

Jingyang took out two coins, A and B.

The ring with the character "甲" is engraved with the Chinese characters "天道" (Heavenly Way) on one end and "甲" (A) on the other end. The ring with the character "乙" (B) is engraved with "哆啦" (Dora) and "乙" (B).

The inside of both rings is engraved with a crescent-shaped pattern.

Jingyang extended his finger, gathering a ball of energy on it. He then smeared the crescent-shaped patterns on the inside of the two rings, and two dark gray "bright moon" marks took shape one after another.

Little Di watched curiously.

Jingyang handed her the box containing the remaining eight rings, along with Xiaodi's own "Y" ring, saying, "Come on, Doraemon, try it on."

Xiao Di placed the silvery-glossy "Y" ring on her index finger, turned it slightly, and positioned the "Y" on the back of her finger. The crescent-shaped mark that Jing Yang had applied on the inside of the ring then moved to the pad of her index finger, close to her skin.

She asked curiously, "How do I use it?"

“In fact, this is the first time I’ve used it like this.” Jing Yang also put on his Jia-character ring, turned it around, and concentrated his mind slightly. He immediately had a vague feeling with the crescent moon mark on the skin of his index finger—he could even feel the presence of the crescent moon mark on the ring on Xiao Di’s index finger.

Little Drop seems to have noticed the same thing.

Jingyang focused his mind, selecting Xiaodi's chosen marker as if making a phone call, and silently chanted in his mind: [Ahem, test, test, can you hear me?]

"I can hear..." Xiao Di stopped mid-sentence, closing her mouth and mimicking Jing Yang's gesture, closing her eyes and concentrating.

Soon, through the crescent moon mark on his finger, Jingyang heard Xiaodi's voice in his mind: [I can hear you...]

Xiao Di opened one eye and looked at Jing Yang questioningly.

"I can hear that too," Jing Yang said telepathically after a moment's thought. "On my way to retrieve the ring, I saw the Phantom Troupe. Three of them."

Just as Xiaodi was about to respond, she stopped abruptly, closed her eyes, and silently recited in her mind: "I saw it too, there were three people..."

Don't keep your eyes closed. It'll become a bad habit.

Xiao Di tried to open her eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, and she focused intently on the "Y" ring on her index finger. After a while, Jing Yang received her telepathic message: "I forgot what I was going to say..."

They stared at each other in silence.

Jingyang said, "Anyway, it'll be another two hours before ticket check. Let's find a place to sit and get something to eat first."

【it is good. 】

The two left together, found a fast food restaurant on the second floor of the lobby, went in, ordered some food, and sat down.

……

"They have such a good relationship; they kept gazing at each other silently without saying a word..."

"It must be that their feelings are so intense that they are in perfect harmony."

"Can they communicate just by looking into each other's eyes? I'm so envious of this kind of love..."

Inside the fast food restaurant, the people at nearby tables would occasionally glance at Jingyang and Xiaodi. After they came in and sat down, they didn't say a word except for eating something, but their eyes would occasionally meet, making it seem as if there were sparks of love flickering between them.

However, some people disagreed, saying, "How do you know they don't just hate each other and have nothing to say to each other? How do you know they're not siblings but lovers?"

"Go to hell! You're ruining the mood!"

"Didn't you notice that besides eye contact, they also exchanged facial expressions? Wow, this little girl's confused expression is so cute..."

"She's kind of adorably clueless..."

In reality, the communication between Jingyang and Xiaodi through the Moon Mark is anything but cute.

What are the Phantom Troupe doing at the airport? Are they trying to steal a spaceship and escape?

In that case, they've already looted everything...

"That's true." Jing Yang nodded, then looked at Xiao Di and asked curiously, "Weren't you curious about them? Now that you've run into them, why didn't you go and chat with them?"

Xiao Di just looked at him without answering immediately.

Jingyang laughed: "You're not worried that I'll get jealous, are you? Haha."

Xiao Shi said, "I'm curious about them, and they might be curious about me too. If things develop that way, I feel things could get a bit tricky. —The bulging-eyed fish have relatively rare spatial abilities; they're thieves, and if they set their sights on something, they'll probably just steal it."

Jingyang met her gaze.

"If it were before, I could join them when I had no other choice. But not now," said Xiaodi. "The first rule of the Akatsuki is to listen to the boss; the second is that comrades should help each other, not interfere with each other, and not betray each other." She raised the "Yi" ring on her index finger to indicate this.

"You're more thoughtful than I am... Little Drop, I admit you're better now." Jingyang picked up his drink and clinked glasses with hers. "But you're both from Meteor City, it's just a chat. As long as you don't reveal your bulging eyes, it shouldn't turn into that kind of situation, right?"

Xiaodi took a sip of her drink and muttered to herself, "Just because I'm a resident of Meteor City, I know what kind of people they are."

"That's right." Jingyang nodded in agreement, keeping his eyes fixed on Xiaodi.

"What's wrong?" Little Drop asked, puzzled.

Jingyang said, "Ask me one more time."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Di repeated.

[When you use the Moon Marker to transmit your voice, there's a slight fluctuation in the air around your head...] Jing Yang paused, then asked, [Is it the same on my end?]

Xiao Di focused her gaze on the energy emanating from Jing Yang's head.

"Is it the same on my end?" Jingyang repeated.

Xiao Di nodded. "Yes. Sure enough, there was a slight fluctuation in the energy in your head when you spoke."

[I see. Let's take advantage of the remaining time and test the transmission distance of the Moon Beacon again...]

【it is good. 】

Xiao Di got up and followed Jing Yang out of the store.

Jing Yang transmitted his voice: "I'm heading east; there's an airport restroom there. You're heading west; there's another restroom there—while you're at it, put the ring box into the bulging-eyed fish."

【OK. 】

The two parted ways, one to the east and the other to the west, but even though they were separated, their "voice chat" never stopped.

As Jingyang walked, he chatted privately with Xiaodi using the Moon Mark. While walking in the waiting hall, he suddenly heard a noisy commotion nearby, as if someone's spaceship ticket had been stolen...

Chapter 57 Hisoka's Other Self

Yes, I can still hear it clearly.

Xiao Di walked to the restroom on the west side of the waiting hall, opened a stall, and went inside. Simultaneously, she communicated with Jing Yang telepathically using the moon mark on her index finger's ring, [feeling virtually no energy consumption...]

With a wave of her hand, she conjured up a bulging-eyed fish.

However, it seems that this month's target acquisition capability can be directly replaced by a mobile phone.

Using a vacuum cleaner, Xiao Di sucked up the box containing the remaining 8 rings that Jing Yang had given her. After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Jing Yang, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

[Jingyang?]

[Oh...it's nothing.] Jing Yang's voice finally came into Xiao Di's mind. [It's a bit chaotic around here. It seems like quite a few people's spaceship tickets have been stolen or robbed...]

On the east side of the waiting hall, Jingyang's side was noisy. Some people were aggressively looking for airport security, while others were angrily making phone calls with their briefcases in hand. Of course, most people were rushing to buy a ticket before boarding.

"Was it done by the Phantom Troupe?" Xiao Di's question echoed in Jing Yang's mind.

Jingyang said: "Perhaps."

He didn't pay much attention to it and quickly left, heading to the restroom on the east side of the waiting hall. He was surprised to find others complaining there, seemingly also among the unfortunate passengers about to board the spaceship. Were the Phantom Troupe really that low? Or, to put it another way, what's the point of grabbing so many spaceship tickets? Are they planning to become scalpers?

Even if Kuroro, Machi, and Kubi didn't have any money on them, it wouldn't be that difficult to just grab a few "lucky" passersby and coerce them into giving them the money for three spaceship tickets...

As Jing Yang turned toward the men's restroom, he glanced at it casually and immediately felt a little annoyed.

Standing in front of the sink mirror, Palston was looking down at a business card in his hand. Noticing someone watching him, he turned around, and immediately smiled. "It's you?"

Paliston put the business card into a silver business card holder and put it away. He then took out a pen from his pocket and said with a smile, "Looks like you really are my fan. You actually followed me to the airport. Oh well, haha, I'll reluctantly sign an autograph for you."

Jingyang said seriously, "I need to go to the bathroom, idol, do you want to come with me?"
