Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Major General Kafka made two "oh" sounds, then eagerly chimed in:

"I know, I know, it's that lowly commoner who materialized a bunch of salted fish or catfish, right? That lowly commoner killed a nobleman's young master, drank his blood, and laughed himself to death. When those noblemen heard about it, their faces were uglier than the dog poop stuck to the soles of my feet."

It seems this incident left a deep impression on them, so much so that even after so long, the two veterans, both holding the rank of general, still remember it vividly.

Chao Yin watched the two middle-aged men chatting and joking without saying a word, and couldn't help but interrupt:

"Generals, please be serious. Ultimately, even if the hunter is the least suspicious, there are no other suspects, right? Otherwise, we can only speculate that the intruder came from outside the vicinity of the royal palace, which would be even more absurd."

"Ahem, who said there aren't other suspects?"

Lieutenant General Hyun Pui coughed twice, his expression turning serious, and said solemnly:

"Didn't you say that there were only two Nen users that night, Corporal Poxon and that hunter? Take a look at this."

As he spoke, he pulled out two photos from the file behind him and handed them to Chaoyin.

"This is……"

When Chao Yin took the photo, he saw two gruesome corpses: a tall woman and a burly man in black.

He vaguely felt that the two looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Lieutenant General Hyun Pui's next words revealed the truth:

"The eldest daughter of the Sandra family and her personal bodyguard were found dead in a trash can last night. The time of death was... around 8 p.m.

Around eight o'clock?

Chao Yin suddenly looked up, his face filled with astonishment.

He remembered; he had seen these two people before, at the tea party last night!

At that time, when he confronted Dia, the two people in the crowd just stood by and watched coldly!

However, the Third Prince's tea party began at nine o'clock in the evening, and the confrontation was already close to eleven o'clock.

Two people who died at eight o'clock are now alive and well at the tea party at eleven o'clock?

There's only one explanation for this absurdity—someone killed them, impersonated them, and infiltrated the tea party!

"That's why I advised you not to get too hung up on that hunter. Almost everyone in the staff believes that the two people who infiltrated are the real culprits."

Lieutenant General Hyun Pei sighed, seemingly seeing that the credit had once again been taken by the General Staff.

Chao Yin couldn't believe it and hurriedly said:

"They...they might be in cahoots with that hunter."

"If they were in cahoots, why didn't they come in with the Twelfth Prince? Why did they go to such lengths to impersonate him and get caught in the end? Given the hunter's control over the Twelfth Prince, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to bring a few more people, would it?"

Lieutenant General Xianpei succinctly pointed out the logical flaw in Chaoyin's statement, and then, too lazy to say anything more, immediately made the decision:

"Alright, that's settled for this matter. Your next task is to find out the identities of the two people who sneaked in that night. Don't do anything unnecessary. That's an order!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the word "order," Chao Yin instinctively saluted and shouted.

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

The Twelve Princes' Palace, including the attic library.

In a dimly lit environment.

Mumu Ze stood on tiptoe, made a strong grab, and took out an old book with a black cover from the dusty bookshelf.

The book looks old and worn, with the cover covered in signs of age and some kind of rodent teeth marks.

On the book cover were two large, blurry characters. It took a while under the light to vaguely make out that they were the words "Neishi" (Inner History).

"This is the palace history of our Huikeluo tribe. I haven't read the contents of it either."

Mumu Ze handed the book to Diya and said:

"I don't know when this book was placed here. It may have been placed here by a prince from several generations ago. I wonder if it can still be read clearly."

Dia sat cross-legged on the ground, put down the book, and turned to the first page.

Although some pages were stuck together, fortunately, the pages were coated with beeswax and were not damaged or decayed.

"As long as the words are legible, that's fine."

As Dia was saying this, about to study it carefully, he felt a soft body snuggle into his arms.

Mumu Ze adjusted the angle, then contentedly nudged Diya's chin with his head, nestled obediently in his arms, and watched along.

'This is likely to cause a reaction...'

Somewhat embarrassed, Dia used the ripples to control her muscles and adjust the trajectory of the bullet to prevent it from hitting Mumu Ze, but she didn't say anything to stop the other person from getting close.

Since confessing his feelings last night, Mu Muze has become increasingly proactive towards him, even though he hadn't been on guard before.

The reason they are currently holed up in the attic reading this secret history of the Huikeluo clan is because of Dia's request.

Since returning from the royal palace last night, he has been thinking about the kings of past dynasties, such as the King of Babylon, the King of Gatzlinlin, and so on.

These people are still alive, the Kakin kings of all time are still alive, but... what about the first king?

That materialized [Egg in a Pot], orchestrating a treacherous princely succession ceremony, guiding Kakin towards brilliant genius—

Is he still alive?

If he's still alive, then he's probably older than the legendary Don Freecss.

How did they achieve this incredible life-extending technique? Why did the Babylonian king, who apparently obtained this technique, call it a curse? What benefits did the ripples actually bring them?

These incredible mysteries lingered in Dia's mind, making it impossible for him to calm down.

Having no other option, he could only try to learn about the lives and trajectories of the kings throughout history.

"It's even in chapters? Isn't this our family history? Why is it being written like a novel?"

Mumu Ze looked at the book and asked a question.

Dia was also completely baffled; the Kakin royal family was just too bizarre.

There's nothing I can do but watch it anyway.

As a book recording royal history, it can only be said that the "Inner History" is at least somewhat authentic in terms of its content.

"Chapter One: The King Arrives."

"In the beginning, returning to the Koro Empire wasn't called returning to the Koro Empire..."

As is well known, the Kakin Empire is an ancient civilization, and its original name was derived from the surname of its royal family.

Just about 30 years ago, King Naspi achieved political reform through what is known as the "most peaceful coup in history"—the Chinlin Coup.

Kagin then transitioned from imperial socialism to parliamentary democracy and removed the royal name from the country's name. After that, Kagin's economy began to grow rapidly.

Returning to the first chapter of the *Inner History*—

Three hundred years ago.

The first king of Kakin was born in a poor mountain village called Nudrid.

He was physically weak and lacked willpower, yet he achieved a tremendous victory at the age of seven—

He kicked his own cat to death.

The first king said that all strength comes from comparison, which gave him, a frail man, boundless confidence.

At that time, New Delhi had a population of less than one hundred people, and everyone lived numbly and cruelly.

They stole, sold themselves, drank heavily, gambled, distrusted each other, wallowed in self-pity, and schemed against each other.

The weather back then seemed perpetually gloomy, with a continuous drizzle falling from night to day. The whole village was muddy, and the furniture was always covered in dust and mold. Even if it was cleaned, it would soon rot away again.

The people there are so engrossed in the pleasure of waiting to die that they cannot extricate themselves.

Until one day, a merchant from afar visited the mountain village, bringing news that gold mining was underway in the distance.

The first king suddenly realized his mistake, persuaded everyone to donate their property, smashed the furniture they couldn't take with them, blocked their escape route, and resolutely led everyone away from their hometown in the pouring rain.

Several months later.

Of these people, only the first king survived and made it to the "gold mine".

But it was just an ordinary horse pen.

No one knows what the first king did after that, except that he seduced the mother of the horse farm owner and then took fifty fine horses and about a hundred strong men to fight against a neighboring country.

Ten years later.

The first king successfully seized the country and renamed it the Huikeluo Empire.

'What a weirdo...'

Dia was amazed.

The first king of Kakin was truly a remarkable person; his dramatic and unconventional life is unique in the world.

He secretly reached out and patted Mumu Ze's head.

"?"

The young prince tilted his head, casting a questioning look.

'Fortunately, she didn't inherit this abstract gene.'

Diya silently continued watching.

Following the previous text—

After the theft of the country was completed, the nation was in dire need of rebuilding.

The first king, with immense courage, waged wars in the south and north, winning and losing battles large and small, but miraculously surviving each time.

The Kakin Empire's sphere of influence expanded until it even encompassed the hometown of its first king—a small mountain village called Nudry.

Unfortunately, Newderry was by then a deserted ghost town.
