Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

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

A large hospital.

A closed hospital room door.

Uneasy voices could be heard coming from inside from time to time, and Mo Laowu paced restlessly outside the door.

When Dia arrived here, this was the scene she saw.

"What happened? Why is Nob inside?"

Diya asked Mo Laowu incredulously:

"Shouldn't you be undergoing limb repositioning surgery?"

Mo Laowu seemed to have found his pillar of support. The moment he saw Diya, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained:

“I don’t know the specifics. A few hours ago, I had just finished treating my own injuries and went to meet up with Nobu. When I arrived, all I saw was him on the verge of collapse and a completely damaged hospital wall.”

“I asked Nob, but he couldn’t give a complete answer, and when I found him, his right arm was completely gone, it had been forcibly torn off…”

Mo Laowu sighed:

"After I took him to the first aid station and bandaged his wounds, his emotions stabilized a little, and he regained some composure and briefly explained what had happened to me."

Dia pretended to listen attentively.

Mo Laowu continued:

His explanation was strange, just a few words—

"The monster escaped; I couldn't stop it, and it ignored me."

grass……

Dia understood immediately.

What else could this so-called monster be but Neferpitou, which he and Nob jointly contained!

Weren't they all taken into custody? How could they possibly escape?

Did Norb accidentally open the wrong door?

A multitude of thoughts came rushing in, but the only person who knows the truth about this matter is the one directly involved.

Dia quickly asked:

"What's Nob's current situation? Can you tell me in detail?"

Mo Laowu shook his head heavily:

"I'm afraid that won't work. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Although he's much more stable now, I feel that he doesn't seem to have the courage to bring up that matter again for the time being."

Just as it's like asking a persecuted person to relive their painful past, some people simply can't muster the courage to confront those terrible old experiences.

Nob is now undoubtedly in this state.

Diya couldn't help but ask:

"So what can he do now? Can he just wait?"

“I have already contacted Saqiu. He should be on his way. Once he arrives, he should be able to resolve Nob’s psychological issues.”

Mo Laowu said.

It will probably take a long time for Saqiu to get here...

Diya frowned slightly and began to calculate the time.

"Psychological issues? Maybe I can give it a try."

Poxon suddenly spoke, drawing their attention.

Seeing this, Pokson didn't waste any words:

"Actually, I learned systematic hypnosis and anti-hypnosis techniques when I was in military school. Given enough time, I can give someone a suggestion to do something, such as answering a question."

Dia looked surprised:

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Of course it's not as amazing as you think."

Poxon ruthlessly extinguished Dia's fantasy:

"It's just an application of psychology, inducing others to do things that are not difficult or unacceptable. For example, you might want a cleaner to put a small note with classified information on it into an undercover agent's personal belongings. The key point is that the cleaner himself cannot know what this means. To him, this might be as simple as putting a piece of chewing gum in someone else's things. That's how you have a chance of success. You can't make someone do something they are unwilling to do through this kind of technique."

"Therefore, this kind of technology is definitely not comparable to the Nen abilities of the manipulation system. Moreover, if the hints given are too complicated, or if the things you ask the other party to do touch upon any reason of resistance in their subconscious, or if it endangers the other party's physical health or personal safety, they will all be rendered ineffective in an instant due to the self-defense reaction."

Dia's face instantly showed disappointment:

“That won’t do any good… I mean, it won’t do any good for Norb. He’s just not willing to answer right now.”

Pokson gave him a speechless look and continued:

"But if used for positive purposes, it can have a similar effect to mental therapy, such as giving others a more confident suggestion. In this case, the conditions can be relaxed a bit, and it might be useful."

After Pokson finished speaking, Mo Laowu shook his head and rejected her method:

“I’ve heard of what you’re talking about, but unfortunately, Norb himself is an expert in psychology. He had long ago given himself similar anti-hypnotic suggestions, so any such methods would cause him to subconsciously resist or even provoke hostility.”

Mo Laowu and Norbu have been friends for a long time, and Mo Laowu is very familiar with Norbu's character flaws.

In fact, the fact that Nob was able to develop the ability of the "Four-Dimensional Apartment" proves that he is not someone who likes to confront pressure head-on.

To improve this weakness, Nobu has put in countless efforts, including studying psychology on his own, giving himself positive self-talk, and forcing himself to face difficult, high-pressure tasks.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed miserably despite exceeding the expected standards.

"..."

The group, at their wits' end, stared at the closed door and listened to the sounds coming from inside, falling silent involuntarily.

'Can a creature trapped in the Nen space escape...?'

Dia pondered silently.

Could it be that Neferpitou awakened his spatial abilities during containment, ultimately breaching Nob's four-dimensional apartment from the inside out?

Then the problem is coming.

Why wasn't Nob killed?

Dia had a vague feeling that something had gone off track, but she couldn't quite grasp the concrete evidence...

When soldier ants gather at the queen's location

What they saw was a scene of utter devastation.

Where the queen had been lying, a small figure was now eating, seemingly lost in thought.

And what he ate was the corpses of the Chimera Ant Queen and Pouf!

"Queen..."

A soldier ant made a sound of fear.

The short figure suddenly raised his head and said impatiently:

"Who's the queen? You've mistaken me for someone else. I am..."

His expression suddenly turned blank:

"Who am I again...?"

The soldier ants looked at each other, lost in thought as they gazed at the figure.

They wanted to rush forward to avenge the Queen, but their bodies wouldn't move, as if defying that figure was simply unacceptable.

At this moment, the short figure was still deep in thought:

"It seems like everyone is born with a name, so what is my name?"

Name, name, name...

Suddenly, a voice emerged in his mind:

"...Meruem."

"I've got it, I'll call myself Meruem."

Unaware that he was the king of ants, the king of ants smiled contentedly and clapped his hands.

He found his name.

In high spirits, he looked at the swarms of soldier ants.

Today was a really happy day.

He was born with people to play with him, found his own name, and now so much food is being delivered to his door...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Meruem couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time, his figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared in the ant swarm.

In an instant, slaughter ensued!

Chapter 483 Cunning Monster × Two Urgent Matters

What is happening in the anthill at this moment.

The hunters knew absolutely nothing about it.

Everyone was still worried about Norb's injuries and mental state, and none of them wanted to leave.

"teacher--"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a demon crawling out of hell rang out, and everyone's eyes turned to look.

It's Abyss... no, it's Pangm!

Having transformed into a zombie-like figure, identical to Fuchi, a famous female character created by Futaba, Pum walked among the crowd, his face etched with despair.
