Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Dia sensed something was wrong.

First of all, the number of infected people is too small. There are at least six people in the fungal growth zone who are close to Kuroro's severed arm, so why are there only three people with signs? Moreover, the degree of infection of the person who had direct contact with the infected person is far greater than that of the other two.

This does not conform to the principles of communication.

Secondly, apart from the person who was completely infected, the other two did not have direct contact with Kuroro's severed arm, yet the fungus grew in almost the opposite direction under the same circumstances.

One towards the toes, the other towards the head.

Based on the idea of ​​controlling variables, there must be some variable between the two that affects the growth direction of the fungus!

Dia narrowed her eyes, fixing her gaze on the few items left behind by the protesting citizens on the ground—

Those were a few torches, leaning precariously to one side.

Is that it...?

As Diya thought this, ripples began to surge across her body.

The fifth second has passed.

【Crimson Ripple Dash】!

Diya activated his Ripple Qi Gong, and red ripples appeared on his right fist after a long time!

This crimson wave, carrying intense heat, rushed by; it was a celestial phenomenon he left behind that was extremely difficult to understand.

Now we need to use it again.

puff!

Diya raised her hand as if to flick her finger, shooting out a pebble, which was already scorched red by the intense heat of the [Crimson Ripple Dash].

The red pebble shrieked in mid-air as it shot towards the fully controlled "Snowman," smashing half of its head in the process.

The sixth second...

Only then did the outermost, unrelated crowd belatedly realize what was happening, casting horrified and bewildered glances and murmuring amongst themselves.

"What, what is that white thing...?"

"Is it a monster? It bites!"

"And who is that person...?"

Various surprised and uncertain voices came, but Dia did not respond. He just stared intently at the [snowman].

After being hit by his stone, like snow melting in the sun, the white down on its head began to recede rapidly, and the fungus on other parts of its body did not show any tendency to spread there.

'It's high temperature...'

In this light, the sudden drop in temperature in Pattaya these past few days is probably one of the reasons for the rapid growth of these fungi.

You even included this? Hakiku, you bastard...

The seventh second has passed, and the last three seconds are up.

Having understood the growth mechanism of fungi, Dia didn't hesitate at all. She stepped forward and waved her hand!

hum!

The intensely hot, crimson ripples traveled rapidly to the three citizens, swiftly and cleanly incinerating them into charred corpses.

If they are allowed to remain here, more innocent citizens will be infected with the fungus, especially those who are currently watching.

If they get infected, even if we tell them that a high fever can get rid of the fungus, it will most likely be useless.

Not everyone has the courage to burn themselves with flames; as long as one person flees the scene with the thought that perhaps a doctor can save them.

This small-scale bloodshed could eventually escalate into a major epidemic.

By the time Dia burned the three of them, there was only one second left!

it's fine.

Having already thoroughly explored the sewer system beneath her feet using the ripple radar, Dia unhesitatingly channeled her Nen and ripples throughout her body, causing golden ripples to surge like a tide!

The next moment, his iron fist slammed down on the ground like a comet hitting the earth!

boom!

With a loud bang, a deep pit appeared beneath Dia's feet!

This was the weakest point on the ground that he had carefully chosen.

This all-out attack created an entrance to the sewers, and the pool of blood left by Kuroro nearby was also carried into the sewers by the collapsed ground, attracting a large number of rats.

Ignoring the gasps and panic of the crowd around her, Dia immediately darted into the dark, unlit depths of the sewer the moment she fell in.

According to his ripple radar detection, Kuroro was still running away at this time.

Because of the great distance, he could no longer detect the other party's specific movements, but one thing was certain—

Kuroro was all alone at this moment.

Because another figure suddenly appeared in Diya's ripple detection field!

That was Hisoka, who had already woken up and was running towards him at top speed, oblivious to his own mortality...

Chapter 95 Awakening × [Pairs of Destroyers]

'Why did he come back? To stop me?'

Diya's eyes showed confusion.

Although Hisoka was almost killed by Chrollo's heavy kick that came from the sky, who knows what strange abilities Chrollo might have hidden, maybe even a rare healing ability.

So Hisoka waking up only surprised Dia, but his willingness to come back was something Dia truly couldn't understand.

Why did he come back? To stop Dia from pursuing him?

That's impossible.

Unable to understand it after much thought, Dia chose to give up on trying to figure it out.

Maintaining the vast range of the [Ripple Radar] would keep his mind constantly strained, leaving him almost no time to think about trivial matters.

If there is danger or Hisoka comes to his death, [Ripple Sense] will warn him sooner.

The damp, deep sewers were covered in moss and rat droppings. Because they were underground and without sunlight, the temperature here was even lower than on the ground. An ordinary person would probably freeze to death here overnight.

Pati’s sewer system is decades old and extremely outdated, with each long passage connecting spaces the size of two hotel rooms.

In addition, Dia also detected rows of empty holes underground along her route, the purpose of which was unknown.

At this moment, Dia's brain was filled with a huge three-dimensional underground image that was 200 meters long, about 5 meters wide, and about 2 meters high.

As he rushed to a node connecting a passage, the figure representing Hisoka also arrived at a very close point to him.

Dia remained in a crouching, running posture, casually tilting her head to glance at Hisoka, who was silently standing at the entrance of another passage.

'[Ripple Sensor] No response...'

'He wasn't carrying a book, and the height doesn't match, so it couldn't be Kuroro in disguise...'

He turned his head back and continued to concentrate on his journey, ignoring Hisoka who had been watching him the whole time. If it wasn't a trick to switch the objects, he had no reason to stop and get entangled with Hisoka.

At this moment, Hisoka's clothes were tattered, but his injuries had miraculously recovered by 70-80%, and he was unusually quiet.

Hisoka narrowed his long, thin eyes, his golden pupils revealing a mixture of longing and repression.

"Ah~"

Seeing Dia almost brush past him without turning back, he suddenly looked regretful, sighed, and ran in the opposite direction, praying silently:

'Such an interesting person, they might actually kill me. Please, don't die!...'

Tread-tap-

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the dark passage.

With a solemn expression, Kuroro emerged from the darkness. He was in very poor condition, covered in wounds, especially in his abdomen where he had been shot and in his back where he had been struck by a sword.

He held an open book in his right hand and ran through the darkness at almost top speed.

At this point, he was almost 300 meters away from where he entered the sewers. Logically speaking, even if a Nen user's [En] is very large, this distance should be a safe distance.

but………

A lingering, persistent gloom constantly reminded Kuroro that the enemy was still chasing him!

'Is it a stalking-type Nen ability? Then, including that tall man, it means more than one person is chasing me…'

There is another possibility: the tall man may actually be a multi-ability user. He may possess a powerful, unidentified ability activated in the corridor, a ability to stick to the wall and repel enemies, speed and strength comparable to Enhancement-type users, the ability to create mist that suppresses "En", a greenish-blue energy javelin that can paralyze enemies, a strange bullet that can dissolve other people's Nen, the ability to create rain out of thin air, and finally, a tracking ability.

Finally, if the fungus he left at the wellhead is dealt with by the other party, the other party may still be able to create flames or high temperatures, as well as have terrifying observational skills and experience that can see through the weaknesses of other people's Nen abilities in a very short time.

Is this reasonable?

Does not being closed mean it's open?

Although he didn't know how that person did it, Kuroro didn't have time to worry about that anymore.

Because he already had a vague feeling that the rats he had left behind, infected with the "Snowman Syndrome," were being dealt with one by one...

It seems we have no choice but to use that backup plan; now it's up to fate.

A sudden realization and determination flashed in Kuroro's deep eyes. He absolutely could not die here, at least not before the [Thief's Ultimate] evolved.

If he dies like this, even if the "Thief's Ultimate Skill" becomes a legendary item that can be passed down after his death because of the memories he left behind, it is highly unlikely that other members will be able to obtain it.

This is something he cannot accept.

So, for the pursuers whose names we still don't know, let's see who fate will favor...

puff!

Diya threw a punch with lightning speed, easily turning a white-haired rat that tried to sneak up into a pulp.

He finally has some free time to deal with the rats that have been bothering him.

Because he was moving faster than the injured Kuroro, by the time he caught up to this position, Kuroro was no longer able to escape the range of his ripple radar.

'These rats are just pointlessly throwing their lives away; they won't buy me any time at all...'
