Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Apart from the first King Kakin, there are no written records of how the other party died. I am very sorry."

Upon hearing this, Dia waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, as this outcome was within his expectations.

The first king who established the Kakin Empire and created the Egg in a Pot ritual seems to keep all information about the other party secret, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. It's normal that Melena can't find him.

He put the report away, intending to investigate it further later.

This time, Dia took the time to see Melina, but it wasn't about this matter:

"Melena, how much do you know about the recent outbreak in the city?"

Upon hearing this, Melina paused for a moment and then said:

"We don't know much, but the Fourth Prince's side warned us to try not to go out during this period."

"In addition, we also have people under our care who have been infected with the disease, and they have never returned after being sent to the hospital..."

Melina said meaningfully:

"Although there has been no official response, the King's Army seems to be taking this very seriously."

Dia frowned and asked:

"They haven't appeared again? Did they all die of illness?"

Melina shook her head:

“They were already dead when they were admitted to the hospital, and the royal army would not allow them to take beds from the inner city.”

Dia understood.

New Delhi’s medical resources are clearly insufficient to treat everyone, and even though we are still in the early stages of the outbreak, many people have already anticipated the future strain on medical resources.

In order to cope with this future, the royal army simply killed all the sick poor people, gangsters, and the like.

This is also a form of epidemic prevention, although it is not very humane.

In other words, the fact that they would choose such extreme measures suggests that the Royal Army is probably at a loss regarding this epidemic. What kind of virus could cause such a situation? If they can't control it...?

Diya frowned, deep in thought.

Unlike tangible enemies that can be dealt with by force, the spread of viruses makes it difficult for him to intervene in advance. He can only watch the situation change and adapt accordingly.

However, given Qiduo's abilities, he wasn't worried about getting infected.

Melina sat quietly, watching Dia, who was deep in thought, the darkness in her eyes growing even darker.

Since they became aware of the outbreak this morning, they haven't really stopped working...

boom!

The door was pushed open, and a man rushed in, shouting anxiously:

"Melena, something's happened!"

"An outsider came to the alley entrance, claiming to be a hunter investigating a case. Our men couldn't stop him at all!"

hunter?

Melina frowned and subconsciously looked at Dia.

Dia was taken aback by what she heard, and looked at the henchman who had rushed in, asking:

"Which hunter has dark skin?"

The younger brother, covered in sweat, shook his head anxiously:

"No, it's a weirdo with a horse's face!"

Chapter 383 [Mo Gong] × What are you so proud of?

'Horse face...'

Dia narrowed her eyes, knowing that the hunter the underling was referring to was Saqiu.

This is troublesome.

It's not that Saqiu is particularly difficult to deal with, but rather that making an enemy of him is simply not worthwhile.

First of all, Melina and her group absolutely do not have the ability to contend with him, at least not now. If he continues to investigate, who knows what he might find out.

At that point, Dia will have to take action herself.

However, if the other party cannot be killed directly, the subsequent reckoning will be very complicated.

The Hunter's Ten Rules, personally established by Chairman Netero and the Zodiac, explicitly prohibit fratricide.

This means that Dia cannot openly confront Saqiu, nor can she allow him to trace her back to her.

As for the latter, Dia had actually planned ahead, intending to use the other party to exonerate herself.

Who knew that Saqiu would actually approach Melina today?

Of course, if all else fails, we can only ask Mr. Saqiu to take a trip to the underworld.

But to be honest, Dia didn't want to do that.

Sach is no nobody. His unexplained death here will definitely attract the attention of the Hunter Association. If Chairman Netero or Kido discovers the truth, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Stopping time to knock someone unconscious is also an option, but it's still a risky move.

When facing an experienced Nen user, if you don't kill them in one blow, it's easy for them to see through the clues of their ability.

'Troublesome. If it were just Lu Pei and Bu Xidora, those two cannon fodder, I could have killed them with one punch and avoided all this trouble.'

Dia continued to ponder a solution.

Seeing this, Melina, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, she smiled and said:

"Lord Dia, are you troubled about how to deal with the hunter who broke in?"

Dia nodded and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who came is no ordinary hunter. You should quickly order your men not to go and get themselves killed. None of you can handle him."

"Uh……"

A look of surprise flashed across Melina's eyes; Dia's words were a bit too blunt.

After thinking for a moment, she asked:

"You can't even handle Lord Dia?"

Then she really needs to re-examine the Hunter Association, this mysterious organization. How can there be so many powerful people like Dia in the Hunter Association?

Dia shook her head and said calmly:

"Although he is probably no match for you, he is not difficult for me to deal with. However, he will be useful later, so I am not willing to kill him directly."

Forget it, let's just use time-stopping to escape.

Dia calculated the time, planning to use time-stopping techniques to bypass Saqiu. As long as she didn't confront him directly, the problem shouldn't be too big.

"He should be here soon. If your base is no longer of any use, just give up on it. Don't let him catch you alive, or Kakin will definitely find a way to make you talk."

Diya stood up and said casually.

He didn't say the rest aloud, but the meaning was clear—

Faced with the military's systematic interrogation techniques, if you don't want your intelligence to be leaked, just commit suicide on the spot when you're caught.

The members behind Melina exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with determination.

Those who are able to embark on this path without hesitation naturally possess the courage to make sacrifices.

but……

Melina's eyes flickered.

This might not be a bad opportunity.

An opportunity to showcase their value.

"Lord Dia, don't rush to leave. There is an escape tunnel in the basement of this safe house that leads directly to the outskirts of the city."

Melina rose gracefully, calmly pointing to the inconspicuous door behind her:

"We can leave through that passage, so we won't have to worry about running into that hunter."

Dia shook her head and said calmly:

“The escape route can’t escape the detection of [Circle]. Given Saqiu’s search speed, by the time he finds this place, you won’t have gotten very far. So, that route will be completely wiped out by Saqiu.”

Even at full speed, Melina and her group could not keep up with Saqiu's normal walking speed.

Melina smiled slightly, not surprised by the flaw pointed out by Dia:

"Logically, that's how it should be, but if we can prevent him from breaking into the safe house, then we'll have enough time to evacuate."

As she spoke, Melena turned to look behind her.
