Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Click! Click! Click!

In an instant, a series of gunshots rang out as the soldiers raised their guns, aimed, and waited for orders in one smooth motion, their muzzles all pointing towards Dia!

At the same time, Dia could also sense a dangerous aura locking onto her, originating from several soldiers carrying a strange gun!

'A new type of weapon...'

Dia looked at the gun with great interest.

Although he knew beforehand that the King's Army possessed new weapons that could threaten Nen users, he was not in a hurry at the moment, and was even somewhat relaxed.

But to others, this leisurely demeanor was seen as a sign of Dia's helplessness!

'What is this kid doing?! Why doesn't he take this opportunity to kidnap the king?'

Qiduo looked at Diya with some anxiety, wishing she could take over and control her herself!

Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to let Dia use time stop to escape, since unless he could activate that ability continuously, they would inevitably run into the main force of the royal army that was about to arrive.

Even the usually composed Kito could no longer maintain her composure at this moment:

'I still have to be with him...'

She took a slight step, as if she was about to rush out!

The next moment, she saw a figure even faster than her, who stood directly in front of Dia, blocking all the soldiers' gun barrels!

"Who among you dares to fire a shot! Do you want your entire family executed?!"

Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Mumu Ze glared angrily and blocked Diya's path, shouting without hesitation!

Her voice reached every soldier's ears clearly.

At that moment, even the most loyal soldier was caught in a struggle between his left and right hemispheres.

They stared blankly at Mumu Ze, at a loss for what to do.

The king ordered the other party to be killed, but the prince intervened to protect him.

Firing a gun is tantamount to executing nine generations of one's family; not firing a gun is disobeying orders.

Shooting is disloyal, not shooting is also disloyal!

'This is ridiculous, these two are really something...'

The soldiers silently moved their guns away to avoid being accused of disrespecting the royal family.

"..."

Qi Duo stopped, her face a mixture of emotions, and looked at Mu Mu Ze, who had rushed out even earlier than her. For some reason, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

'We got beaten to it...'

The torrential rain completely soaked Mumu Ze's long hair, and the red and blue earring pendants swayed gently, shimmering in Qi Duo's eyes, making her squint.

'However, this level of preemption shouldn't be anything special, right? Just a mere Mumu Sawa.'

Qiduo gritted her teeth, comforting herself and calming the inexplicable sense of crisis that had arisen within her.

Nasby narrowed his eyes, looking at Mumu Ze, about to say something.

Suddenly, the medics who had rushed to Kuroro's side to begin resuscitation stood up anxiously:

"Report! The patient's vital signs are still declining!"

This untimely voice broke the tense atmosphere, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, and all eyes turned to the medics.

"Did you give him the medication? The most advanced one!"

Nasby replied impatiently.

Upon hearing this, the medic replied:

"Your Majesty, we have administered three doses of the maximum dose of [NH1952] cardiac stimulant, but his heart rate continues to drop rapidly."

"Three? Even a dead man would make his heart beat again!"

Naspi stared in astonishment at Kuroro, who had fallen into a coma, with the look of someone who was looking at a monster.

【NH1952】As the pinnacle of Kakin's military medical supplements, each vial is priceless and is said to be able to bring the dead back to life.

Its characteristic is that it can actively activate the damaged organs of the wounded, just like attaching a whole set of healthy organs. So Naspi's claim that he can even bring a dead person back to life is not an exaggeration.

As long as he is not brain dead, theoretically, injecting him with one dose of [NH1952] could save him.

Xianpei looked at the empty syringes and felt a sudden pang of toothache.

The unit he temporarily selected, though not the strongest in combat, was the most well-rounded, including various less common branches such as medics, engineers, and disaster relief soldiers.

It is to prepare for all possible unexpected situations.

He even had someone bring three precious bottles of [NH1952], but before anyone could be saved, all three were wasted. It was a terrible thing.

However, this unusual phenomenon also aroused Xianpei's suspicion.

How could someone receive three doses of [NH1952] and still have no reaction, or even have worsening vital signs?

Chapter 450 Evil Thoughts × Helpless Naspi

Hyun-pui didn't know much about NH1952.

He only knew that three conditions needed to be met for the medicine to work—

First, the injured person was not completely brain dead; second, no more than 40% of the injured person's organs were damaged, and vital organs such as the heart were not completely damaged; third, all the internal and external injuries suffered by the injured person were "normal" injuries.

Injuries that do not involve any supernatural abilities such as Nen or curses.

In theory, as long as these three conditions are met, this medicine can help the wounded prolong their lives indefinitely.

The thief, whom the medics are currently working hard to save, has a stab wound to his chest as his most serious external injury. There are no other obvious wounds or signs of poisoning.

'Logically speaking, it should be able to work...'

Hyun-pei frowned deeply, feeling a little apprehensive.

The matter of Dia is still unresolved, and now this has gone wrong with the task the king entrusted to us.

If this isn't handled properly, it could be troublesome if the king blames us.

"Will it work or not?"

Seeing the atmosphere gradually harden, Naspi suddenly lost interest in Dia's affairs and turned to the medics with a serious question.

This thief can't die! It's a matter of whether we can get the artifact back. We absolutely can't let things fall apart over something like this!

The importance of the [Divine Artifact] outweighs the progress of the inheritance war, outweighs his own safety, and far outweighs the lives of everyone else.

The only thing that can supersede the "divine artifact" is the safety of the nation itself.

In Nasby's stubborn mind, the importance he placed on the "egg in the pot" was far greater than his actual actions.

Beads of cold sweat began to appear on the foreheads of the medics, and their movements quickened, but they were unable to give Nasby an answer.

The atmosphere remained tense and bewildered.

Meanwhile, Diya, now out of the spotlight, remained silent, gazing at the fluffy little head in front of her.

That belonged to a prince who was still immature yet stubborn.

The sudden appearance of Mumuze was not something that was expected.

He had originally planned to use Miss Pokk's abilities to escape to the outside world after seeing Pokk in the crowd—

Of course, this does not guarantee success.

After all, with something like the [Ceremony of the Buddha] in existence, the information Ruby provided to him indicated that the artifact should be able to prevent people related to the War of Succession from leaving Newderry. It's hard to say whether Poxon's ability will be effective.

However, it seems that the plan is about to be shelved before it even started.

Fortunately, Dia has never followed the plan...

'Let's just play along...'

Diya looked at Mumu Ze in front of her.

She didn't turn around at all, but stubbornly stood in front of him without turning around to ask a question. She must have been a little angry.

Normally, she would at least turn around and say hello.

Forget about that for now, I'll try to appease her later.

Dia's gaze shifted to the barely breathing Kuroro, and a sudden thought struck her. She then looked in a certain direction and gave him a meaningful look.

The stalemate on the field lasted only a very short moment.

A cold, somewhat arrogant female voice broke the silence, addressing the medics directly:

"Don't waste your energy, you can't save him, no matter how much or how good the medicine is, it won't help."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the voice, and they looked at the person who had spoken.

Qiduo ignored those gazes, his eyes seemingly casually fixed on Diya and Mumu Ze who were blocking his way, his gaze growing increasingly cold.

Naspi followed the crowd's gaze, looked at Qiduo who had suddenly spoken, narrowed his eyes, and then said bluntly:

"I know you, Qiduo Yorkshire, the Hunter Association's Rare Disease Hunter. You're saying this now, so you must mean you have a way to save his life, right?"

"If not, then you should know that playing me is tantamount to deceiving the emperor, right?"

Kido reluctantly withdrew her gaze, glanced indifferently at Kuroro on the ground, and said:

"He was corrupted by his power. You can tell by using [Condensation] to take a look. His heart is almost riddled with holes by evil thoughts."

"Your medicine is just a stimulant to force a heartbeat; it's completely useless against evil thoughts. Unless you find a mind-removing master to cleanse the evil thoughts from his heart, no matter how many injections you give him, it's just a drop in the ocean."

Kido has extensive clinical experience with the heart, thanks to Kang Jae, who always manages to rupture his own heart.

She knew that in this situation, [NH1952] wasn't entirely useless; if used frequently enough, it could still have an effect, although it certainly wouldn't be as fast as directly seeking out an exorcist.

She noticed this from the very beginning when Kuroro fell, but she just didn't say anything.

After all, Kuroro is Dia's enemy, so naturally he is also her enemy!

So why is Qiduo stepping forward again now?
