Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Why would I do something like this? I'm not going to die of old age anytime soon..."

The rough, dry feeling coming from his fingertips made Poxen's heart clench.

She couldn't figure it out.

Why was Diya in such a hurry to use this method to help her improve her Ripple Qi Gong level?

Can't we wait a little longer?

"No, it won't work. If you practice on your own, there's simply not enough time."

Dia slowly shook her head and said something unexpected:

"The Ripple Messengers of the Eastern School can sense each other's life wavelengths through extremely powerful and profound skills after physical contact. If someone dies from a ripple, they can even see the cause of death."

"My cultivation is far inferior to that, but by sheer chance, I still managed to see the wavelength of your life!"

"Although I didn't witness my destined death, but—"

It's definitely not that long.

The words were not spoken aloud, but Pokson understood them.

She opened her mouth, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Therefore,

I'm going to die soon?

But there are still so many things I haven't done...

She didn't even doubt whether what Dia said was true; she instinctively believed everything he said.

Dia gradually calmed her breathing, looked at Poxon who was somewhat unable to process too much information, and said softly:

"Don't worry too much. If there's no cause of death, it means it wasn't an accident. Otherwise, the ripples wouldn't have any effect."

"After tonight, one-eighth of the Immortal Dao Ripple will gradually merge into your life wavelength, prolonging your collapsing lifeline."

"If it works, we can continue. We'll send you ripples every two weeks. This ratio should be balanced enough and won't cause any problems..."

Diya slowly got up and walked to the bedside, saying as she went:

"As long as I am here, I will make sure you live a healthy life."

"Now I'll take a few hours to rest, and by tomorrow I should be able to get through the adverse reaction period of [Ultimate Immortal Vein Ripple Rush]."

Moreover, there are some things he needs to think about again.

For example, why was he able to foresee Poxen's life wavelength with his current, not-so-profound, skills?

Diya still hasn't forgotten that strange text message from Youkexin from a few months ago...

A few seconds later.

Dia looked up at the motionless Poxon:

Aren't you going home to rest?

After a brief silence.

The short-haired girl bit her lower lip and said firmly:

"You're not in good shape right now. What if there's an enemy attack? What will you do if I leave? I'll stay here, and if anything unexpected happens, I can teleport you away at any time."

Dia instinctively retorted:

"It's not like it's missing a bit of Nen, it won't affect the battle..."

"I don't care, I'm not leaving."

Pokson grabbed the blanket and sat firmly on the bed:

"I told Miss Qiduo before I came that I would stay with you tonight, and she didn't object, so you should get some rest. I'll take care of things for you tonight!"

Seeing Poxon's unwavering insistence, Dia had no choice but to go along with it and let her have her way.

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

The next morning.

Dia was awakened by a loud roar.

"Mr. Dia—"

It sounded like some kind of wild beast was roaring at the top of its lungs, with urgency and a hint of despair.

The sound was like an old lady's square dance broadcast, looping wildly outside the Honglong Hotel, reaching the level of disturbing the peace.

"What's wrong with Nakoruru this morning...?"

Diya sat up silently and stretched her limbs.

After a night of rest and relaxation, the fatigue from last night was completely gone. Apart from the fact that there were definitely fewer ripples (one-eighth less), Dia didn't feel any difference from before.

"Hmm...it's daytime now."

The blanket beside him billowed, and then a fluffy head poked out, its eyes still sleepy.

What is that loudspeaker outside?

"Something might have happened. Put your clothes on and go check it out."

Diya tossed the scattered underwear and other items to Poxon, then casually put on some clothes and prepared to do a quick wash.

Behind him.

Pokson wrapped himself up in the blanket like a dumpling, laboriously stretched out one bare arm, grabbed his clothes, and pulled himself back under the covers, feeling a mix of shyness and unreality.

'So this is what it feels like? It did hurt a lot at first, but it quickly became comfortable thanks to the ripples. However, as soon as I stop breathing through the ripples, it starts to tear and ache... Damn it, I only meant to reward him, and he did it all in one go...'

Wait, was this his plan from the beginning? Was teaching me Ripple for this reason too?

Suddenly, Poxon pressed his hand to his chest, looking suspicious, and glanced at Dia's retreating figure as she walked into the bathroom.

You cunning fellow, just how far do you see?

A few minutes later.

Diya led Poxon downstairs, along with Wheat, the new operator she had recruited yesterday—she was still somewhat uneasy.

In the lobby stood a delinquent teenager with a pompadour and a young man in purple, surrounded by a circle of security guards and waiters who dared not approach.

The delinquent teenager with the pompadour hair yelled hoarsely at the ceiling:

"Di—"

"Stop shouting, or the police will come."

Dia decisively interrupted Nakuro's wailing and looked at the security guards with a frown.

They probably wanted to stop Nakuru, but they didn't have the power to do so, so they simply surrounded him.

Diya casually beckoned to the manager, explained the situation, dismissed the security guards, and then left the Red Dragon Hotel with the group.

On the way, Nakulu finally found a lifeline and said urgently:

"Mr. Dia! Please, save my master!"

Xiutuo also lowered his head, making a firm and solemn request:

"Please! We'll do anything you ask!"

Although it may be presumptuous, they really had no other choice and couldn't find anyone more reliable.

Dia frowned immediately:

"Mo Laowu? Something happened to him?"

"right……"

Nakuru nodded gravely and took out a cell phone:

“There are no cell towers in NGL, so electronic devices cannot transmit information. In order to confirm the safety of people who infiltrated NGL, our mentor and we agreed that we would return to the border every 48 hours, find a cell tower, and call or send us a message.”

"But now, 48 hours have passed, and the master still hasn't called."

His phone showed that the most recent call was an hour ago, from the name "Nob".

Besides that, the most recent phone call was from a number named "Master" 49 hours ago...

Chapter 474 Norb x Sanmaru Hotel

Dia and her group were sitting in a car.

The destination is called [Sanmaru Hotel].

That was where Mo Laowu and his group temporarily stayed in the Republic of Localio.

After the guild leader left with two star hunters, only their three disciples remained.

"After Master, Teacher Norbu, and the Chairman infiltrated NGL, they didn't send back any messages until early this morning, when there were still 30 minutes left before the 'safe time' Master gave us. Teacher Norbu's first words were—"

"Did your teacher send you a message?"

Nakuru sat in the passenger seat of the car.

After a period of calm, he finally calmed down a bit:

“I already knew that Master was in trouble at that time, because if he was alright, Teacher Norbu would never have placed his hopes on us. He would have known about Master’s situation much earlier than we did.”

"After we told Professor Norb the truth, he was silent for a few seconds, then told us to stay put... and then he didn't say anything more."

At this moment, Xiu Tuo, who was driving, took over the conversation in a low voice:

“We are too weak. Teacher Nobu is definitely planning to go find the master alone, so he doesn’t intend to say anything more to us.”

"However, as far as we know, Master Nob himself isn't known for his combat abilities... Given that even his master is tied up, I'm not sure he can return safely..."

Clearly, Xiu Tuo and Na Ku Lu had already fully assumed that "Mo Lao Wu was in danger."

They didn't even consider other possibilities.

In a sense, this also reflects their trust in Mo Laowu.
