Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Unless that person can see through walls and see through things!"

The middle-aged man chuckled. The woman beside him hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something, but the man impatiently pulled out his phone and said:

"I already said, if there are any problems, my guards outside will handle it for me..."

He suddenly froze, because a caller ID suddenly lit up on his phone—his bodyguard had actually called him.

An ominous premonition enveloped the two of them. The man hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction where the man and two women had just left.

But they discovered that the three people had disappeared in a short time!

'Could it be that what that person said was true...?'

As other guests gradually received the news, exclamations of alarm spread, and panic quickly engulfed the small auction hall.

Some decisive people rushed to the door the moment they received the news, and the one at the forefront was a tall man with slicked-back hair.

He was sweating profusely from running, but dared not stop, because just now all the bodyguards he had hired at great expense had gone missing!

The bodyguard captain's last-minute message to him was—"Run!"

But just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped, his eyes widening as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

Behind him, a fat man, also covered in sweat, saw that he had stopped moving and was so anxious that he almost cursed out loud, but when he saw what was at the door, he was also suddenly stunned.

Before them, a huge shadow silently enveloped the open door.

Upon closer inspection, a huge, black, long-bearded fish, about 3 meters long, quietly poked its head out!

The strange fish floated in mid-air at the doorway, swimming forward silently as if it hadn't seen them.

The two froze instantly, their minds went blank, and they dared not breathe.

An incomprehensible fear filled their minds.

Time seemed to stand still.

Suddenly, a shout of cursing came from behind them, striking them like a thunderbolt:

"What are you doing blocking the way? Get out of the way!"

In an instant, the strange fish's aura changed. Its huge round eyes emitted a ferocious aura, and it flicked its long whiskers, turning towards the person who had just made the sound, and charged towards him!

Although the strange fish was enormous, it was incredibly fast, covering a distance of tens of meters in just a few breaths.

It opened its enormous mouth towards the person who had just spoken, revealing nearly a hundred rows of teeth arranged densely from the lips to the depths of the throat!

The man who had spoken earlier was so frightened by what he saw that he stood frozen in place, unable to move, as the strange fish swallowed him whole, its countless sharp teeth tearing him apart in an instant.

Nearly a hundred people present witnessed this astonishing scene, and countless screams and cries of panic immediately filled the entire venue.

As the man swallowed it, the strange fish suddenly swelled up, as if it had reached its limit, and then a hideous fish head grew out of its abdomen!

The fish head suddenly swung, and the fish instantly split into two, rushing towards the rest of the people in the venue!

Just as the people near the gate were trying to escape while the strange fish rushed towards the others,...

To their horror, they discovered that the door had been closed at some point, as if it had been welded shut, and no matter how they pushed it, it wouldn't budge!

The desperate crowd could only watch as the strange fish repeatedly devoured people, grew, and split apart, until death came.

A bloody tragedy of fish eating people unfolded in an instant throughout the closed auction hall!

Chapter Thirty-One: Cage × Mercenary Squad

The auction venue has three floors, each 6 meters high.

This is the first floor at this time.

In front of the stairs leading to the second floor.

Several security guards in black suits were holding pistols and looking around warily, while a man who looked like the captain was anxiously trying to contact the outside world on his cell phone.

Just minutes earlier, they discovered that the door leading to the outside world had been mysteriously closed.

They tried to open them, but the doors remained motionless, as if they were connected to the surrounding space.

Only a few of the smaller doors could be opened.

He tried to break the lock with a gun, but discovered a mysterious force that made it unharmed no matter what kind of impact it was subjected to.

At this moment, the building has become a cage, trapping everyone inside.

Meanwhile, outside the auction hall, some people were already attempting to break down the door.

Drogba crossed his arms and stared solemnly at the gate before him.

'It's undoubtedly the effect of Nen, but...'

He focused his Nen energy on his eyes and activated [Concentration], only to witness an astonishing scene—

The entire building was enveloped in a thin layer of spiritual energy, which prevented all the doors on the first floor from being opened or damaged!

'To seal off the entire building and maintain this level of strength in all walls and doors, what kind of stringent constraints would be required to achieve this effect...?'

'Who activated this ability, and for what purpose...?'

'And those few empty cars that appeared out of nowhere, are they enemy vehicles?'

Drogbada called Dia the moment he discovered the incident and explained the situation to him.

First, it is certain that all the doors connecting the building to the outside world have been sealed off, and the windows and walls now appear to be able to withstand rocket attacks.

Drogba silently withdrew his gaze from the gangster who was blasting the window with a rocket launcher.

Secondly, he overheard someone checking the parking lot, and thanks to the real-name registration system for parking, they were able to identify two small cars whose owners were unknown.

The suspected enemy had already infiltrated the venue—the group of incompetent security guards who were checking attendees were also locked inside, so the auction organizer was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger.

Dia's response indicated that he had left the venue beforehand and was now off the top floor, and had also attempted to break a window.

But the result was the same; it didn't budge.

After discussing it, the two decided to meet at a secluded spot on the first floor and try to create a hole by releasing psychic bullets at the same wall from both sides.

but……

Drogbada withdrew the Nen from his eyes, feeling utterly unsure about the plan.

He could see that the spiritual energy applied to the building seemed to subtly connect the entire building into one entity, as if it were a single thing.

In other words, attacking the walls or windows of this building is no different from attacking the entire building at the same time.

A point attack is directly split into a surface, so it's inevitable that it will be ineffective.

In a stairwell at the corner of the stairs on the second floor of the building, Diya put down his phone after ending a call and beckoned the two of them to follow him.

Behind him, Pokson listened to the faint, piercing screams coming from the third floor, and felt a chill run down his spine.

She didn't know what had happened, but she knew that if she hadn't listened to Dia and left on the spot, she might have been among the screams coming from the third floor.

'There were no gunshots, only shouts. Was it an enemy attack? How did they manage that?'

'And that window... even a gun couldn't break it...'

Pokson felt increasingly confused, and she subconsciously wanted to ask Dia, who was calm at the moment, because this guy must know something.

The next moment, she heard a slightly hoarse, ethereal voice:

"Mr. Dia... is that person by the window also a martial artist? Can they also [chant]?"

Mumu Ze's previous gloomy demeanor vanished, his eyes crinkling into two crescent moons as he looked at Diya with a "kind" expression.

Dia remained calm upon hearing this, but a bead of awkward cold sweat appeared on his face.

He pondered for a moment, then, realizing there was no point in continuing to stall, he said helplessly:

"No, Your Highness, this is clearly the enemy's doing; they want to trap us here and kill us!"

Upon hearing this, Mumu Ze finally revealed a hint of satisfaction and smugness. His slightly chubby face had a sly cuteness about it, as if to say, "You can't fool me this time, can you?"

But the next second she realized that Dia had also mentioned "enemy attack," and only then did she begin to feel the sense of being under attack, a look of worry appearing on her face:

"Is the enemy very strong, Mr. Dia?"

"I can only say that the other party is very capable, but I feel that the thing upstairs that is killing people must be the ability of another person."

Dia's ripple radar has been running the whole time, and no one knows the current situation of the entire building better than him.

Earlier in the meeting room, his ripple sensor suddenly started vibrating, which immediately alerted him.

He then decisively used the ripple radar to carefully explore the entire third floor, which allowed them to avoid the silent monster.

In fact, he still doesn't know what exactly is going on a killing spree on the third floor. The ripples transmitted over it don't reveal anything at all.

In theory, as long as there is contact with a wall or floor and there is a physical entity, the ripples can be transmitted.

However, the current situation is that the ripples clearly sense the physical entity, but cannot transmit it through the walls or floor at all.

Could the other party fly?

Nevertheless, some subtle vibrations convinced him that there truly was a "floating" monster in those places where there were no footsteps.

'ability? 【read】? '

Are they speaking in riddles?

Pokson had no idea what they were talking about.

What's going on? Why is there this atmosphere where only I'm not good enough?

Also, who is Mr. Dia?

Isn't his name Bai Lianna?

Mumu Ze seemed to have emerged from the self-pity he had felt a few hours earlier, and his eyes began to dart around.

She noticed Poxon's confusion, but had no intention of offering her an answer.

After all, it took her three whole days, and she was heartbroken for several hours, from discovering the unusual things to making Dia admit the existence of supernatural forces!

She wasn't so kind as to help people answer their questions; in that respect, she and Dia were quite similar.

Dia didn't want to say much; his radar detected enemies in more than one location...
