Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Thinking this, Diya controlled the Nen Beast to allocate a small portion of the rainfall here, while using the rest to wash away the remaining syrup.

He then followed in Hisoka's footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, a lone dark cloud quietly drifted over Hisoka's head, and began to pour rain down on him without any attempt to conceal it.

Hisoka: ?

In the strange eyes of Shikaren and the other passersby, Hisoka was instantly drenched, becoming a genuine drowned rat.

Hisoka was speechless, but he was the one who gave up resistance in exchange for peace talks in the first place, so he could only helplessly let Dia do as she pleased.

Soon the two reached an open space away from the crowd.

Dia crossed her arms and casually said:

"Speak, what is your purpose?"

At that moment, the dark clouds above Hisoka's head suddenly swelled, enveloping Dia as well, and a water prison appeared between the two of them.

The rainfall at this time was about half of what Diya had pushed to its limit, just enough to transmit the [Blue-Green Ripple Thought].

If rainfall continues to increase, the transmission speed of the ripples will be even faster, but at that point it will truly become a water prison in every sense of the word.

With that kind of rainfall, let alone ripples, he could barely breathe; every time he opened his mouth, a mouthful of rainwater would come out.

That's why Dia said that this ability was not fully developed at all.

Hisoka knew that if what he said displeased Dia, the green javelin he had seen last night would probably come flying at him the next second.

He chuckled softly and cut straight to the point:

"Shall we make a deal?"

"I'll tell you the details of the other spider legs, and you can go and kill them. I'll also secretly help you out."

Dia became somewhat interested, lowered her arms, and said with amusement:

"Go on, why are you helping me, and what is the meaning of this transaction?"

As if it were preordained, in a team of 13, there would inevitably be a traitor, and it would often be the guy numbered 4 or the one sitting fourth during meals.

Neither the previous Phantom Troupe member, Mask 4, nor Hisoka, the current member, are honest guys.

Furthermore, to be fair, the Hunter Association's Zodiacs, including Netero, make a total of 13 people...

Looking at Hisoka, who had just been risked out of danger by Chrollo last night and was now plotting betrayal the very next day, Dia decided to ask Qi to keep an eye on Saiyu and Pyon when she got back.

"The deal is that after you kill everyone else, Kuroro will be left to me?..."

As he spoke, Hisoka's eyes finally revealed an uncontrollable frenzy and excitement. He realized that this was the moment he had been waiting for.

He had already experienced the strength of the hunter and his two companions last night. If it weren't for the Phantom Troupe attacking them all at once, they would have had no chance of defeating them.

However, at that moment, the Phantom Troupe was unable to gather together...

Although he didn't know where Kuroro was at this moment, Hisoka didn't think he would die like this. In fact, he believed that Kuroro was already planning how to make a comeback.

For no other reason than that the Peeling Ripper is still in the hands of these hunters!

Someone like Kuroro would never allow his band members to be tried in court; to him, that would be even more terrifying than death.

Of course, Hisoka had another unspoken thought: after killing Chrollo, his next target would be the hunter in front of him.

'It must be interesting to see the hunter become the prey, right? Of course, it would also be nice to be killed by this person like this...'

Hisoka admired Dia's undisguised strength and the professionalism he displayed in battle; in fact, he might even rate her more highly than Chrollo, who was unprepared.

Dia wore a half-smile on her face, pondering Hisoka's words:

'Could it be a trap? But judging from Hisoka's actions in the manga, he's certainly capable of doing something like this…'

He thought for a moment and said:

"You should know I won't completely trust you, so if you want to cooperate, show your sincerity first."

"Of course, I can tell you Spider Number 8..."

Hisoka answered without hesitation; he had long been prepared to pledge his allegiance. But Dia's calm voice interrupted him:

"That number 8 is dead, he committed suicide."

"..."

Hisoka was speechless for a moment. How long had it been? Yesterday, that number 8 was still alive and kicking. How could he suddenly be dead?

He had no doubt about what Dia said, because it was meaningless.

Then Dia's voice came through again:

"Does your Phantom Troupe have a female member with purple hair? Is she here this time?"

Chapter 105 Revealing Everything × One Day Left

Hisoka's eyes flickered slightly; he didn't know why Dia had suddenly brought up that person.

'Maggie? Is there anything special about her?'

Despite both being Transmutation users, Machi left a rather strange impression on Hisoka.

He possesses exceptional talent, astonishing strength, unparalleled intuition, and truly unique abilities.

Such are the hallmarks of a strong person, yet they dislike fighting.

Hisoka had thought more than once that if that woman could become stronger by any means necessary like Chrollo, she would definitely become an excellent prey.

But she was just as stubborn as the Enhancement type when it came to this matter.

For example, her ability could clearly be used to cut down enemies and tear them to pieces, but she actually uses it to control them.

A transformation user has actually developed the ability to control enemies?

Hisoka even wanted to laugh.

The reason Dia asked Machi was actually quite simple—Kuroro's left hand was broken.

With his left hand crippled, Kuroro essentially had a large portion of his abilities sealed away.

After all, his "Thief's Ultimate" technique requires his right hand to be used, and now that he doesn't even have his left hand, Kuroro will inevitably be severely restricted.

But a severed arm is not impossible to reattach; with the power of Nen, anything is possible.

For example, Machi's ability can quickly reattach Kuroro's arm, faster and more perfectly than any surgery.

All Kuroro had to do was conjure a left arm out of thin air.

"It seems...not."

Hisoka carefully recalled the events and confirmed that he had not seen any trace of Machi on the day he entered the city.

Unlike Chrollo and his companions, Hisoka arrived in Pattaya by train on his own. He only met Chrollo and the others once on the day he entered the city, and was completely left behind after that.

Hearing this, Diya felt a little relieved.

Given this, it's unlikely that Kuroro will recover his severed arm in the short term.

However, he couldn't relax completely. Perhaps Hisoka had lied to him, or perhaps Hisoka's information was incomplete.

As Diya calculated the timeline for this mission, Qiduo's petri dish was cultivating the patient's liver.

Meanwhile, she is also working intensively on the fungus left by Kuroro in order to develop corresponding antibiotics before a possible large-scale fungal infection occurs.

So at least until tonight, Kito can begin the second surgery.

She will then immediately begin cultivating the final heart, and the heart transplant surgery is undoubtedly the riskiest of the three surgeries, requiring Kito to be fully focused.

Given her current schedule of fighting, surgery, and research, Dia is actually a little worried about how much focus she will have left.

All he could do was try to eliminate these external factors that might affect the mission as quickly as possible; he couldn't just sit and wait for the enemy to attack.

"Tell me everything you know. If we find Kuroro, I'll kill the others, and you'll kill Kuroro!"

Only then is the deal officially completed!

Hisoka, without the slightest hesitation, revealed everything he knew:

"Kuroro's sole objective for this mission is to steal the gem, but it seems he initially intended to outsmart the enemy, so he didn't deploy all his combatants."

"If we include the person you mentioned who committed suicide, excluding me, there should be 6 people who joined the mission this time."

"As far as I know, there's the Peeling Rift you caught last night, and Pakunoda who's been following Kuroro. I don't know her abilities."

"There's also the swordsman who's responsible for providing intelligence; he should be a manipulator-type ability user, but I haven't seen any trace of him in the city..."

"Another one I haven't seen since entering the city is Kubi. He's a Conjuration-type Devil Fruit user, and his ability is..."

Unlike the two who were exchanging words as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, the crowd on Chuangjing Road, who had suddenly encountered disaster and narrowly escaped death, had become a chaotic scene.

Some cried out, some laughed, some looked around nervously, and some were stunned by the sudden surge of syrup and the fact that they were flying.

Compared to them, Lu Ren, a professional hunter, simply frowned as he watched the syrup waves in the distance slowly come to a halt.

Soon, he suddenly let out a soft sigh, thinking:

'This must be all the syrup the factory has in stock. That means we probably won't be able to distribute any more candy for the anniversary...'

The amount of candy needed to distribute to all the residents of Pati who are participating in Heroes' Day is enormous, and tomorrow afternoon is the start of the day.

In other words, there will be no more candy available this year.

'Once these familiar customs are forgotten and the Heroes' Memorial Square is demolished, Heroes' Memorial Day itself will likely soon disappear into history.'

Even setting aside all the abstract issues, what's happening right now means that in this city, homeless people and orphans who can't afford candy have completely lost the possibility of tasting its sweetness.

'Moreover, the syrup factory is in its current state; the boilers are probably damaged as well.'

'Then what about those poor people who barely survived the winter by relying on the heat from the boilers...?'

The underground boilers in the syrup factory are kept running year-round to prevent the syrup from solidifying.

Even when the candy runs out, the boiler will not stop, because that means Pati has entered the depths of winter.

There were once some homeless people and orphans who, during those unbearable cold days, gathered on the ground above the boiler.
