Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

Yes, the world as we know it now, or rather, the world as seen by most ordinary people, is actually a lake—a group of islands in the middle of the whole world.

Even beyond the world we know today, there is another continent, and that is the real world.

Compared to that, the human world today is simply insignificant.

In this lake, the human world is somewhat distant from the real world.

It sounds like the distance between an island in a lake and the shore, but this tiny distance on a global scale is already quite far in the human world.

Even beyond reach.

And beyond that boundless ocean, where humanity once roamed, lay a vast expanse of unknown wonder and uncertainty.

Its name is the Dark Continent.

Humans have landed here, and goods from that continent have also traveled across the ocean to reach this place.

Based on the archaeological information he unearthed, human ancestors may have migrated here from there.

He wanted to go there, but due to special circumstances, he was temporarily unable to go.

But he was already making preparations, and the man in front of him might become part of those preparations.

Even if he was completely wrong, for him, the fact that this man went from being unknown to being known was still a gain.

Jin looked at him with a smile and a confident tone, and said, "You can tell me whatever you think you can say, even if you mix in some lies, it doesn't matter, I won't mind."

But you'll teach me a lesson too, Kevin thought, thanks to your so-called "mind-reading" ability called Observation.

She nodded silently, beginning to sort out her thoughts.

There is no option to deceive; the only option is what to say.

The man in front of me has already stated his best option.

Although whatever he does might reveal the information the other side wants, he can't do nothing.

"Okay, this body is indeed not my original body. In my last memory, I died in a car accident."

He was run over head-on by a truck; there's probably no chance of survival.

Jin had somehow gotten into a cross-legged position in front of Kevin, one hand supporting his leg and the other supporting his chin.

Car accident, truck. He extracted key words and analyzed the information.

“Words and language, the moment you speak, seem to awaken the body’s memory. As for the rest, they are like fragments, just like a patient with amnesia needs something to stimulate them to recall.”

“Hmm…” Jin nodded, which sounded perfectly logical.

Suddenly, he asked, "Where did you originally come from?"

"Originally? I... perhaps I'm from another world, I don't know."

Kevin's words were somewhat abrupt.

Jin looked at him and said, "I understand. Let's leave it at that. It seems we haven't built enough trust between us."

He stood up abruptly, patted himself on the back, and realized he had obtained the information he most wanted.

Even if he were to be able to discern the truth or falsehood of Kevin's words later, it would be meaningless, as many pieces of information cannot be judged simply by whether they are true or false.

Drawing conclusions too early can actually affect your future judgments.

That's enough. More information will come gradually.

He picked up a special computer from the table next to him and handed it to Kevin: "You must have a lot of information you want to know, right? Do you know how to use a computer?"

Kevin nodded and took the computer.

Jin sat down on the chair next to him and picked up a magazine from his backpack to read.

Without looking up, he said, "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me. Consider it payment."

Kevin didn't shirk his responsibility; he genuinely needed to learn more about the world.

Turn on the computer.

The thick laptop was like a satellite computer, its structure not much different from what he was used to, only the writing system was different.

I quickly grasped the basics of how to use it and started looking up the information I wanted.

First, there's the map. This world has five continents, and we haven't even explored the world's boundaries yet, let alone circled the entire world.

The more Kevin learned, the more he realized the differences between the two worlds.

But the current era is strangely similar to the era of my own time.

1994 years.

Even the technology is strangely similar.

"Why did you kill me? I mean the original body," Kevin suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Jin replied without looking up, "Because you are a poacher, this area was once a special species sanctuary that my companions and I set up."

I understand now, "I" am actually a criminal.

Upon realizing this, Kevin's expression immediately changed drastically, and he asked in a tight voice, "Then am I a criminal? This identity makes me a criminal?!"

These words made Jin raise his head. He glanced at Kevin, as if he was thinking about something.

"No, you are a poacher, but you are very resourceful and well-hidden."

Rather than doing it yourself, you'd rather pay money to solve the problem; at least on the surface, you're a renowned pharmacist.

"Oh, okay." Kevin nodded. That's good.

He simply couldn't accept that he had transmigrated into the body of a criminal and was wanted by the police.

This would make his already somewhat sad situation even worse.

"So where am I right now...?"

"The Biscayne Forest Park, a nature reserve of the ancient Kingdom of Ganyu. We should now be on the border. This nature reserve consists of multiple environmental areas, covering a vast area and spanning several countries."

The Ancient Ganyu Kingdom? He had just seen it on his ID card. He had also searched for it on his computer; it was one of the constituent countries of a group called V5.

As for this V5, it can be completely compared to the United Nations in the world where I once lived. The so-called V5 is somewhat like a permanent member of the Security Council.

It really is a strange coincidence.

If you're still inside a nature reserve, you really might not be able to get out on your own.

He is very confident in his abilities.

Just then.

Jin suddenly took out something that looked like a mobile phone from his pocket.

Kevin observed that this was a mobile phone design that corresponded to the times. Although it didn't look like a "big brother" mobile phone, its bulky appearance was particularly in line with the impression of the era.

Jin glanced at the message on his phone, then turned his gaze to Kevin.

"Your accomplice has arrived. Would you like to meet him?"

"What? Accomplices? Poachers?"

Jin nodded.

Kai instinctively wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, Jin said, "Seeing them might help you recall some memories? In any case, it will be helpful to you."

As for your security concerns... don't underestimate me.

Since the other party said so, and Kevin really wanted to know what that unusual battle in the fragmented memories he had was all about.

"Okay, but let me make this clear first, I'm really not good at fighting or anything like that. I might be okay at petty thug fights."

Then he saw a pistol being thrown at him.

Chapter Four: Two-Headed Wolf X The Pirate

In the quiet forest.

Everything around was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional howl of wolves echoing from afar, providing a slight reverberation in the silence.

With a rustling sound and the crunch of branches being trampled, Kevin emerged. Walking in front of him was Jin, swaggering around.

Soon, the two arrived at a hillside and crouched down at the edge of the hill, looking down at the dark jungle below.

And there were flashes of light in the jungle from time to time, indicating that someone was walking through the jungle below.

"There were four poachers; they had hunting rifles and pistols on their hips."

What? How did you see that?

Kevin was filled with doubt. It was pitch black and the jungle was blocking his view; he simply couldn't understand how King could see under such circumstances.

When he first arrived, he was full of questions.

Jin moved through the jungle like a silent predator, as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

Being overly cautious can actually give the impression that you're full of flaws.

A device that looked like a telescope was handed to him: "Here, use this to observe."

Kevin took it.

"Holy crap! What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?"

He exclaimed in surprise, then was forced to lower his voice.

It's not that he's like that, but these glasses are really outrageous. Although he has never used equipment like night vision goggles, he has at least seen them in various videos.

However, the night vision device he was holding, which looked like a telescope, made it appear as if it were daytime when he wore it.

It's not about using any special optics to observe things at night.

It seems that the technology in this world is outrageous in some aspects.

He began to observe.

After watching for a while, I finally managed to see the figures of each person on the other side.

Its appearance is exactly as Kim described.

"What are you going to do? Call the police? Or scare them away?" Kevin asked.

Kevin, who was observing, did not notice the expression on Kim's face when he turned around and glanced at him in the darkness.

“I know where they’re going. We’ll go there and wait for them. You just need to observe from the side.”

He had previously wanted to force Kevin into battle so that he could observe more, but he just abandoned that decision.

Soon, led by Jin, they came to a cave through a hidden path.

Kevin immediately smelled a faint scent of blood, as well as a slightly different smell.

In the darkness of the cave, by the moonlight, a wolf's head emerged.

Most strikingly, the wolf's head has a silver horn-like object about a finger's length, which gleams faintly in the moonlight.

Kevin was stunned; even the slight fear he had felt at the sudden appearance of the wolf vanished.

Is this correct?

Something was even more wrong when the wolf had completely emerged.

Because it has two heads!

It's a two-headed wolf, but only one of the wolves has a single horn on its head.

With its silvery-gray fur, it was truly beautiful and divine under the moonlight.

Another wolf emerged, this one was noticeably smaller, with its horns growing on the other right side of its head, and were shorter and rounder.

Several small figures ran out; it was a pack of wolf cubs.

It also has two heads, but no horns.

The pack of two-headed wolves didn't seem to have any ill intentions, but they were somewhat wary when they looked at Kevin.

Then they gathered around Jin, surrounding him like pet dogs. They licked him and wagged their tails, and the wolf cubs even tried to rub against him.

Facing Kevin's probing gaze, Jin stroked the wolf's head and said, "They are two-headed wolves who almost went extinct a few years ago. We found the only pair and used technology to successfully breed them, preserving their bloodline."

As he said this, Jin's face showed obvious pride and self-satisfaction.
