Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Swish!

Suddenly, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky like a meteor and crashed down hard towards the edge of the open space!

boom!

A loud bang was heard, and a cloud of dust rose where the white light fell.

The people in the open space were not alarmed by this strange phenomenon; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, everyone's up, I'm back."

Sure enough, a familiar voice came from the smoke and dust.

Jin casually brushed aside the smoke and said with a smile to those behind him:

"Dia, these are my companions. Welcome to the [Temporary Archaeological Team of the Third Imperial Tomb of Guganyu]!"

Under everyone's gaze, a tall figure silently emerged from the dust, scanned the archaeological team, and then introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello everyone, my name is Dia, a criminal hunter."

After he finished speaking, Jin turned and walked back to the camp, saying as he went:

"How are things here? I wasn't here..."

Suddenly, the man carrying the traffic warning sign seemed to remember something, his expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted:

"Wait! Don't come any closer!"

Chapter 320 [Warning] × Lifesaving Medicine

The man's anxious voice had barely left his mouth when Jin jumped behind him without hesitation!

"Warning! Warning!"

Almost simultaneously, two huge red "warning" signs appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a sharp warning sound.

The warning echoed in the sky, immediately attracting everyone's attention. It lasted for about two seconds before gradually subsiding.

The man carrying the yellow warning sign immediately breathed a sigh of relief:

"Phew—thankfully Jin, you reacted quickly enough; anyone else would probably be in trouble by now."

Kim then immediately began cursing after regaining his footing:

"What's going on? You should have told me sooner if you changed the warning sign! Don't you know I brought a new teammate today? Hurry up and remove it."

The man immediately apologized repeatedly, pulled out a traffic warning sign from behind him and slammed it on the ground, and began to mutter to himself.

Dia, watching from behind Jin, was completely bewildered.

Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Jin smiled and said:

"That was his ability, and it's very dangerous. After stepping into the [warning zone] he set up and hearing the warning sound, you must immediately block your hearing and close your eyes, or escape the [warning zone], otherwise something terrible will happen."

As for what terrible thing it was, Jin didn't elaborate, probably out of a desire to protect his companion's secret.

As he spoke, the man on the other end shouted:

"untie!"

As a sudden red light flashed on the ground, a circular sign instantly appeared on the traffic warning sign in his hand.

'Is passage prohibited...?'

Diya glanced at it curiously. There were eight neatly arranged signs on the traffic sign, all of which were common traffic warning signs, such as circles and turning around. She wondered what they represented.

At the same time, the traffic driver wiped the sweat from his brow, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"Come in, everything is normal now."

Upon hearing this, Jin decisively strode into the open space, as if the earlier misunderstanding had never occurred.

Seeing this, Dia followed without hesitation.

As soon as he entered, the members of the [Temporary Archaeological Team for the Third Royal Tomb of the Ancient Ganyu Kingdom] swarmed around him with shining eyes, bombarding him with questions:

"So you're Dia, you're so young!" "You really wiped out the Yorknew City gang? How did you do that?" "Everyone outside says you're a ruthless killer..."

Diya was immediately startled and pulled away a little, waving her hand and quickly saying:

"I am indeed Dia, but I didn't kill all the Yorknew gangsters. About a hundred of them survived..."

The men surrounding him exchanged bewildered glances; this was practically the same as killing them all...

They thought those stories were just exaggerated rumors passed around, but they never expected them to be true!?

However, Dia was even more astonished than they were.

Wasn't this place supposed to be isolated from the world? How come they all know about You Kexin's affair? Logically, the level of secrecy surrounding this matter should be quite high.

When he asked the question, the woman, who didn't seem very bright, immediately waved her hand and said casually:

"It's all because that guy Kim checked his phone a few days ago and got all excited, saying he'd found a great candidate and even analyzed your performance with us..."

"Ahem, Spectrum, you're talking too much. And everyone else, stop crowding around him!"

Upon hearing that the spectrum was about to reveal its secrets, Jin immediately coughed loudly twice to interrupt her, and then said:

"The rest of you should introduce yourselves quickly, I'm not going to introduce you."

Upon hearing this, Spectrum seemed to be thinking about something, and hurriedly shouted:

"Ah, yes, hello, I'm Spectrum, in charge of ancient historical records during the excavation of the imperial tomb!"

"Idiot, you still have your own identity..."

The man carrying the warning sign sighed helplessly, pointed to the spectrum, and said:

“That guy is a hereditary historian of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, so he can be considered a nobleman. My name is Dijeslat, a one-star ecological hunter. It’s nice to meet you.”

The other archaeological team members also introduced themselves one by one; they were mostly professional archaeologists who conducted archaeological excavations.

"Alright, you all go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to Dia about the situation here."

After they finished their excited introductions, Jin pulled Dia to a tent at the edge of the room, took out two folding chairs, and sat down.

"Actually, just hearing the name of this archaeological team should give you a clue about what we're doing here."

"Excavating an imperial tomb?"

Jin nodded, pointed to Spectrum, who was playfully fighting with Dijkstrath, and said:

"In principle, the royal mausoleum of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom has never allowed outsiders to enter since its construction. It just so happens that Guangpu has some royal blood, which is how we managed to sneak in through a loophole in the rules."

Diya nodded silently to indicate that she understood.

Like the Kajin Empire, the ancient Ganyu Kingdom was a feudal imperial state with a very long history.

However, the difference is that the ancient Ganyu Kingdom transitioned to a constitutional monarchy a hundred years ago and has remained powerful ever since.

Although it is a constitutional monarchy, the traces of royal power are still very strong in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, and there are even hereditary titles and official positions, which is quite unique in the world today.

But Dia was puzzled. Wasn't Jin's ability enough to excavate the imperial tomb?

"Jin, you're a two-star Ruins Hunter, right? Excavating this royal tomb shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"No, it's different here."

Jin shook his head and explained:

"Although it is called the Third Imperial Mausoleum, it is actually the oldest mausoleum in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom. The First and Second Imperial Mausoleums were destroyed by the destructive excavation of the Relics Department 6 years and 11 years ago, respectively."

There was a hint of regret in his voice.

This is indeed a very regrettable thing for a site hunter who is dedicated to the preservation of ancient ruins.

Then Jin got straight to the point:

"That being said, the excavation of the Third Royal Tomb was not actually for preservation purposes, and it had nothing to do with archaeological excavation. To be precise, we were hired by King Slay of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom to find a life-saving medicine for him!"

Upon hearing this, Dia frowned immediately; two important pieces of information were hidden in those words—

Firstly, the king of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom was in an extremely dangerous situation; otherwise, the word "lifesaving" would not have been used to describe it.

Secondly, the king firmly believed that the life-saving medicine was hidden in the third royal tomb, but what secrets were involved remains unknown.

Dia asked tentatively:

"...If it's a matter of life and death, why not go to a doctor?"

Jin shook his head and replied:

"King Slay developed some strange symptoms about a month ago. The royal physicians tried to treat him, but all their efforts failed. At the same time, the political situation in the Kingdom of Guganyu was unstable, and it was not permissible to spread the news that the king was critically ill. Therefore, the approach of recruiting renowned doctors was not feasible."

Chapter 321 Entering the Imperial Mausoleum × Level 3 Checkpoint

Dia did not ask Kim any further questions about the king's condition.

If even a doctor can't be consulted, then it's even less likely that anyone else would know.

However, even if the king's critical illness would affect the political situation, there's no reason not to find a single outside doctor; that would be playing with the king's life.

Therefore, Dia guessed that since the king could make the bizarre decision to abandon modern medicine and instead excavate royal tombs in search of a cure, he must have been absolutely certain of success.

The medicine that can save him must be hidden in the imperial tomb.

As for King Sly, what makes him so certain? Perhaps his royal family has its own sources of information, or perhaps it's due to some special Nen ability.

"In short, all we need to do is retrieve that so-called 'medicine' from the imperial tomb, right?"

Dia was somewhat puzzled.

"That alone is enough for you, Kim."

Just as Jin said, since the core of their archaeological team's work is simply to obtain medicine, his abilities should be more than sufficient.

"The Third Imperial Mausoleum also bears other very important tasks. Although its main task is only to retrieve medicine and deliver it to the king, the protection of the mausoleum is also necessary."

Jin said seriously that when it comes to matters related to the protection of historical sites, he would put away his usual carefree attitude.
