Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

The current symptoms are persistent coma, a slowing heartbeat, decreasing body temperature, and weakened breathing, all accompanied by the spread of black marks.

The researchers named those black marks "Black Fluid".

When the Sage's Red Stone from the ruins came into contact with the patient's skin, the Dark Fluid began to subside, and the patient's vital signs began to stop weakening.

However, the gemstone itself also mysteriously began to evaporate during the treatment process.

The day before Diya arrived, the [dark fluid] on the patient's body had almost completely dissipated.

Only the wounds on the front of the three patients' torsos were still oozing those deadly black marks.

However, the flowing [dark fluid] was gradually eliminated by the redstone that had successfully slimmed down.

Before Qiduo accepted the mission, a world-class surgeon had already attempted to dissect a patient's body to find out the origin of the [Black Fluid] before the Redstone was discovered.

Then a death report appeared in the mission data.

However, at least the doctor did figure out the source of the [Black Fluid] – it was three long silver nails that were firmly embedded in the patient's internal organs!

The second doctor who replaced the first one tried to start with the long nails in the patient's lungs and pulled out three nails in sequence.

But the result was just another death report.

The moment he touched the patient's lungs, [Black Fluid] crawled from his scalpel all the way up to his face...

By the time Qiduo took over, the patient's three internal organs, which were attached to the long nails, had been completely eroded. Even if the three nails were removed, those internal organs would probably not be able to support his survival.

In a sense, the fact that Iso is still alive is thanks to those three nails that caused him so much suffering.

After conducting research, Qiduo proposed a treatment plan that only she could devise for this challenging task.

Along with long nails, it directly replaces the patient's internal organs.

This leads to the question of why Dia was needed.

Although the patient's vital signs no longer weakened with the help of Hongshi, they were no longer able to support him in performing such a daring surgery.

That's why Dia's Ripple Qi Gong's amazing healing ability surprised Kido. With Dia's help, the patient could survive the most dangerous time during the organ replacement.

In summary, the core of this surgery lies in the three points mentioned above—Kita's medical skills, Dia's qigong, and...

Dia narrowed her eyes, looking at the red gem in Mizeston's hand in the passenger seat—

The Flawless Sage

The gemstone wasn't large, only about the size of a finger, and its lines were smooth and mysterious, as if it had been sculpted by a master.

Under the night lights, it occasionally reflects a mesmerizing rose-red hue; if a gem-hunting auntie were here, she would probably be fighting tooth and nail to snatch it up.

Diya half-closed her eyes, concealing the desire deep within them.

Indeed, after getting on the train, Mizeston handed the gem to Dia, asking him to pass it on to Qiduo. After that brief encounter, Dia made a decision instantly—he wanted to get the gem!

The reason why Dia was able to nimbly jump from the Gem Guardian to the Thief is simple.

The moment he touched the gem, he clearly felt that the consciousness left behind by DIO, which had been intertwined with his own, was instantly separated.

And all the negative emotions that had been caused by DIO's lingering resentment in his mind were instantly swept away!

The Flawless Sage can cure his underlying personality disorder.

This discovery greatly shocked Dia.

He found a way to temporarily get rid of DIO's lingering influence before he could collect all the [Insect Arrow Fragments].

This alone was enough to make Dia take the risk.

However, Dia did not want to immediately take action to seize it.

That would mean turning against Mizeston and deliberately sabotaging Qido so that she couldn't complete her mission.

If possible, he doesn't want to go to that extreme.

Although the time was short, the care that Keido and Mizziston took for him made him feel very warm.

Diya was willing to temporarily suppress her desires for the sake of this affection—

'Let's wait until the mission is over before taking it.'

He muttered to himself.

Therefore, he needed to make thorough plans and preparations in advance, and then steal the jewel right under the noses of Keido and Mizziston.

And we must not let them find out.

This is no simple matter, after all, he's not the only one eyeing this gem.

Kuroro's fate is unknown. If he's alive, he'll definitely come back for more. And then there's the guy who called himself Garo, whom Mizeston mentioned who ran away during the battle earlier.

There's also the mysterious lizard Vincent, along with Chido, Mizziston, and the others who form the Gem Guard.

On the day the treatment ends, Mitchell will leave with the gem, which is also Dia's only chance to perfectly obtain the gem.

If he fails, he'll have to consider some extreme measures...

Several tens of minutes later, a discreetly designed bulletproof car drove into the underground parking lot of the First Military Hospital.

Qiduo took the lead, decisively stepped out of the car, and headed straight for the depths of the underground parking lot. Dia followed closely behind, while Mitchellston and Vincent, as the guards for the upcoming surgery, followed behind the two.

Patients like Iso, who are special cases, cannot be treated in a simple operating room.

To prevent emergencies, the Pati city government built a small makeshift hospital in the underground parking lot of the First Military Hospital.

Inside the makeshift hospital, all medicines and necessary supplies were readily available, prepared under the personal direction of Qiduo.

Diya followed Qiduo into the mobile operating room. Looking around, the operating room was not spacious, with white walls all around, no ventilation ducts, and no windows.

Then, on the patient's forehead, a tiny, constantly evaporating gem caught Dia's attention.

This was the first time he had ever seen a gem that could evaporate; in comparison, the [Flawless Sage] seemed to never be consumed.

When Dia came into contact with the [Flawless Sage] in the car, it did not change at all.

There could be many reasons for this, such as the structure of the Flawless Sage itself preventing it from evaporating, or other reasons.

In short, at this moment, Dia stepped forward and grabbed the patient's right hand, activating her Ripple Qi Gong. Meanwhile, Qiduo had already materialized the [sterile gown], and with a precise scalpel, she made a cut—

The first treatment begins now!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Retrieving the Spikes × Citywide Manhunt

After a long wait.

Vincent stood at the door and finally saw Kido push open the operating room door, with Dia following behind her, holding a sealed box.

The sealed box was marked with a very conspicuous label that read "Dangerous Biological Chemicals".

Vincent the lizard subtly glanced at the sealed box.

He knew very well what was inside: it was Iso Rina's lung, which had been removed from the hospital bed and was completely corroded by long nails!

His mission also had a purpose unknown to everyone: to retrieve these three mysterious spikes and prevent the government of the Mingbo Republic from taking them first.

This involves not only Yang De's trust in him, but also the position he has longed for for decades!

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped forward and asked:

"How is the situation, Miss Kita? Has the treatment been completed?"

Qiduo did not respond, but turned around and glanced at Dia behind him, indicating that he should speak.

After all, the first thing she makes when she speaks is a strange "ooh ooh ooh ooh goo goo goo goo goo" sound, which makes people want to hold back their laughter.

Dia stepped forward and said:

"I can only say that the first course of treatment has been successfully completed, Mr. Vincent."

According to the plan, this treatment mission will last for two days and involve three rounds of surgery.

This isn't because Qiduo is paying wages daily and deliberately prolonging the treatment time; rather, her "petri dish" can only cultivate one organ at a time.

The cultivation of a second organ cannot begin until the organ in the culture chamber has been removed.

Furthermore, depending on the complexity of the organ, the cultivation time can range from a minimum of three hours to a maximum of three days, and so on.

The lungs, for example, took Qiduo a full 12 hours to cultivate, and the liver next should take a similar amount of time.

However, the last one, the heart, is one of the simplest organs in the human body, and its cultivation time only takes 3 hours.

However, healing obviously cannot continue while Qiduo's ability is active, which raises a question.

The Flawless Sage is now placed on the patient Isouri's chest, suppressing the generation of the Dark Fluid.

During this period, the gemstone cannot be removed for an extended period of time; otherwise, given the patient's current vital signs, they would not be able to survive until the end of the treatment.

In other words, the shelter had now become a storage place for the "Flawless Sages," and they had to guard it to prevent anyone from stealing it.

This is actually one of the reasons why the Mingbo government went to great lengths to build a makeshift hospital in this underground parking lot and required Qiduo to have her surgery here.

The hospital above is always bustling with people, and with such a large flow of people, it's impossible to predict whether there are enemies mixed in.

Once the underground parking lot is sealed off, almost no one can approach the makeshift hospital, greatly reducing the pressure of guarding the home.

Some might wonder why not simply conduct treatments in the suburbs or even in the wild, where there are fewer people and it's safer.

In fact, there was also the consideration of concealing the location of the surgery.

In remote areas, the mobilization of troops or the construction teams needed to build makeshift hospitals out of thin air are extremely conspicuous.

In that case, there would be almost no way to conceal the intelligence, and anyone could guess where they had placed the surgery.

The unique nature of the First Military Hospital provides a reasonable explanation for the aforementioned personnel movement.

But that alone is not reassuring.

Dia suddenly spoke up:

"This is a serious matter. Mr. Vincent, is there any way you can issue a citywide search warrant and try to catch those escaped criminals ahead of time?"

He still hadn't forgotten the "Snowman" created by Kuroro's infection. If he continued to let it develop outside, sooner or later the entire Pati would be in chaos because of that fungus.

Vincent pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Issuing a search warrant is simply a matter of letting the police go door-to-door to arrest criminals, but the problem is that this time the person to be arrested is a Nen user!
