Hisoka was relieved that he couldn't do anything to the crow man and chose to run away.

"Ah, Dia! And Mr. Chrollo!"

An unexpected sound suddenly came from the fire in the distance.

Diya subconsciously turned his head to look and saw Sang carrying a large iron cage covered with a black cloth, waving as he ran towards him.

boom!

Sang jogged over and threw the iron cage he was carrying onto the ground with a loud thud.

"Didn't you go to the banquet with Abachi?"

He wiped the sweat from his face and asked, puzzled.

"We had an emergency and couldn't come. By the way, what are you doing here? You must be the hero of the night. And what's this iron cage...?"

Diya gave a casual remark, then curiously pointed to the iron cage, which Sang had just rescued from the fire.

"It's Abachi's [Root Award], the only albino Barney bear in the world. I rushed over to rescue it as soon as I received the news of the fire at Royal Gram."

Sang lifted the black cloth covering the iron cage, revealing a white bear that was about 2.5 meters long.

It was curled up in its cage, twitching occasionally and making painful noises. Its belly was swollen high; if it wasn't a large stomach, it must have been pregnant for a long time.

"It's been three months past its normal due date, and I don't know why it's not pregnant yet."

Sang looked at it with a bit of distress.

Each of these rare animals requires a considerable amount of money and time to care for.

He originally planned to sell it for the price of two after its pregnancy was over, but he found out after he got it that the mother bear was having a difficult labor...

"Big...White..."

Poxen, who had been obediently hiding behind Dia, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes and instinctively wanted to go over and grab the bear to play with it, while making a sound that was hard to understand.

Diya reacted swiftly, grabbing her by the collar and pulling her back. Ignoring her flailing arms and wailing, he said to the stunned Sang:

"This guy's having an episode, don't worry about him. Let's go back to the circus first. Remember to tell Abaci to get the gem and come back as soon as possible, no later than four in the morning."

"Uh... Oh!"

Sang looked at Poxon, who had begun angrily gnawing on the back of Dia's hand, with a subtle expression, and answered hesitantly.

The Pokson in front of me is quite different from the one I remembered...

After receiving a response, Dia gestured for Hisoka to follow, and the two headed towards the [Moritonio Circus].

Chapter 282 Take care × You all pass!

"So, are you ready to meet an old friend, or are you planning to run away now? I can give you five minutes to run."

As they entered the alley, Dia asked Hisoka without turning her head.

"Run away? Then you can't become a hunter, right?"

Hisoka chuckled and casually tore off the "frivolous facade" from his face.

He also planned to use his identity as a hunter to meet more powerful individuals, and besides, he genuinely didn't care about so-called old friends; he just wanted to clarify what happened back then...

Swish!

Hisoka flashed, kicked off the wall, and leaped onto the top of the building with uneven steps.

"..."

Dia found a step to sit down and calmly began to wait.

Pokson sat down next to Dia in a daze, thought for a moment, and then bit Dia's head.

About several tens of minutes later.

Abachi's figure appeared hastily at the alley entrance, and his eyes immediately fell on Dia, who was sitting on the steps.

“Mr. Dia! This is that gem…”

Abachi calmed himself down a bit, then took a box out of his pocket. Inside the box was a brightly colored ruby.

This is the proof of passing the second level.

Dia casually pulled Miss Poker away from her teething phase, stood up, and took the item from her, saying:

"I've found the person you're looking for. Go check it out on the roof. We're leaving now. Take care."

Dia solemnly said goodbye. Although they had only known each other for a few hours, Abachi and Sang had truly done their best to help him, and this could not be taken lightly.

"Huh? It's already been found..."

Abach was completely taken aback by Dia's answer and stood frozen in place. Then he saw Dia, as if leading her daughter, take Poxon away from the alley like a gust of wind.

"..."

When Abachi hesitated and climbed to the rooftop, he saw a red-haired figure crouching on the edge of the roof.

"Hisoka...?"

Hisoka didn't reply directly; he just sighed helplessly and turned to look at his old friend.

He doesn't like to delve into the past or reminisce about it, but sometimes those dead experiences always seem to struggle to emerge from the graveyard.

"To be honest, before I met you today, I couldn't quite remember your name."

Hisoka, unusually, didn't show that perverted smile; the feeling of being overtaken by memories was really uncomfortable.

Abachi looked at the red-haired man who was now more than a head taller than her, and she couldn't connect him with the boy she remembered.

This was inevitable, because Hisoka himself was just acting back then.

"Back then... Commander Moritonio was the 'Changing Killer,' right?"

Although he was in a daze for a moment, Abachi quickly asked the question that had been buried deep in his heart.

Since the captain and Hisoka disappeared, the "Changing Killer" has also vanished without a trace.

Abachi, who was attacked by "The Disguised Killer" back then, witnessed Hisoka saving her, so Hisoka cannot be "The Disguised Killer".

Then the "Master of a Hundred Faces" can only be the leader she sees as a father figure...

That year, she lost her troupe leader, who was like a father to her, and her best partner overnight. On her happiest day, she fell into hell.

At that time, all her support collapsed instantly, and she could only rely on her obsession with finding out everything to get to where she is today.

Now, she can finally figure it out.

"...I really don't remember things from before."

Hisoka silently shook his head, stood on the edge of the rooftop, and prepared to leave.

He once killed Commander Moritonio, but altered the appearance of his corpse with a "frivolous facade." How could he possibly remove that mask himself now?

"But……"

Abachi already knew the answer in her heart, but she couldn't accept it right away. She lowered her head and murmured to herself:

"Why, why did this happen? Didn't we agree to become hunters and carry on the captain's dream...?"

That kind and gentle leader could actually be a psychopathic killer. What happened to all those beautiful things he talked about, like dreams?

Are they all fake?

"...The past is like a tomb, containing nothing but rotting bones and dirt."

Hisoka silently took something out of his pocket and tossed it over:

"Have some snacks, something you used to love, [BeeGeeGun]."

Back then, Abachi had a bad temper, and Hisoka often made her angry, so he would throw her a piece of chewing gum to appease her.

In retrospect, that seemed more like a way to shut her up and calm her down.

The BunGeeGun that was thrown to him was the one Sang gave him in the alley during the day.

At that time, San gave him four pieces of chewing gum. Hisoka ate one on the spot, gave one to Dia and one to Pokson, and now this is the last one.

Abachi caught it instinctively, opened her hand and saw that it was exactly the same as the chewing gum Hisoka had given her before.

But the chewing gum remains the same, while the world has changed drastically; such is the essence of things changing and people being different.

tread.

A soft tapping sound was heard on the ground.

Abachi looked up and saw that the rooftop was empty; the person was nowhere to be seen. Only a faint voice drifted on the night breeze:

"Take care of yourself……"

---------------

"Hey, stop biting!"

Beside a fountain, Dia angrily burrowed into Poxon's head, refusing to let go no matter how loudly she cried.

His ear was almost bitten through by this guy. This was a bite from a Nen user who didn't know his own strength. If it were anyone else, half of their face would have been bitten off.

"You little rascal, did you never have enough to eat when you were a kid? Why are you always biting my face?"

Dia held Poxon by the neck with one hand while rubbing her face, gasping for breath.

Once she recovers from this lapse in judgment, he will definitely make her kneel down and apologize!

"Waaah!"

Pokson continued to grab Diya's hand and gnaw on it like a starving ghost, and it's unknown what she will think when she comes to her senses and recalls this experience.

Swish!

"Heh, you guys still have such a good relationship. I almost feel reluctant to join you."

Hisoka descended from the night sky, making a teasing remark.

After finishing his business with Abachi, he rushed over, because he didn't want to miss the opportunity to advance.

Meanwhile, several figures who had been waiting for a long time not far from them were whispering to each other, preparing to walk towards them.
