The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

The bag in Kuroro's hand was also damaged.

The small Nen bag suddenly tore open, and countless treasures fell out; they turned out to be the treasures that the two old men hadn't taken with them.

Kuroro closed the book, canceling his ability. He had no time to care about the treasures scattered on the ground. He landed and looked at Saiki Kusuo, who was leaning against the already twisted wall and whose body was still trembling.

Even he couldn't quite understand what was going on.

It was hot. Kusuo Saiki felt that his condition was abnormal, abnormal but difficult to control, especially his right wristband. Because of a mysterious curse, his superpowers were unstable. His superpowers did not refuse the wristband's power absorption as usual. Instead, just like when he first touched the wristband, his superpowers became somewhat chaotic.

Despite his discomfort, Kusuo Saiki pieced together this chain of cause and effect, realizing that his superpowers would continue to be unstable and that he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

Teleportation! Failed.

That attempt to float in the air... also failed.

Oh dear, the superpowers are all messed up. He let go of the wall and tried to take off the wristband.

He took a step forward, but his foot slowly sank in. What? His hand gripped the wrist guard in front of his eyes. It took Saiki Kusuo two seconds to confirm that his X-ray vision was gone. He lowered his hand and realized that his foot was sinking into the ground, the edge of which was a ring of scorched red.

It's a temperature runaway!

This is so troublesome, really so troublesome. I hope no one sees this.

Kusuo Saiki was completely unaware that Chrollo was observing from a distance.

The ship rocked again, and Kusuo Saiki was caught off guard and fell to his knees once more. Ignoring this, he reached out and grabbed his wristband, trying to take it off.

However, the bracers, given free access to nourishment, became incredibly greedy. Yes, these bracers were never obedient or benevolent; they were merely tools that endlessly drained energy! They would only activate the power of those who came into contact with them, then devour it, repeating this process until the wearer was completely consumed!

Kuroro noticed that Kusuo Saiki was struggling with the wristband and quickly guessed that the current anomaly was caused by the wristband.

It seems that Qi Mu was using something very dangerous, and now, because of his poor condition, he is suffering a backlash?

Need help? Kuroro had no intention of helping. Although everything seemed normal to him, his instincts warned him of extreme danger ahead. How could he risk his life in the face of such an unknown situation? Especially not something unrelated to the Phantom Troupe.

"Crack." A sound came from above, and raindrops pattered into the room. Kuroro looked up, his expression changing.

A crack appeared on the roof of the ship? The outermost layer of this type of ship should be very sturdy! Is it a coincidence of aging and cracking, or is it someone's doing?

"Saiki, Saiki Kusuo!" Kuroro called out twice, but there was no response from his inner voice as usual.

The ship has already set sail and is about to face a storm. At this time, it is not a good thing for the roof to crack. If heavy rain enters the ship over a large area, it will affect the overall weight of the ship, and strong winds will also widen the cracks.

After weighing the pros and cons to his own safety, Kuroro immediately made a decision.

First, control Kusuo Saiki!

With the Thief's Ultimate in hand, Kuroro leaped two times to approach Kusuo Saiki. At the same time, a bandage appeared in his hand. The bandage seemed to be scattered, but it was controlled by his will. With Kuroro's thought, it approached Kusuo Saiki and grabbed his arm!

"Pfft!" The bandage caught fire.

What? It's clearly a Nen-type bandage, it shouldn't be flammable like a regular bandage!

The ship suddenly lurched again, throwing the already unsteady Kusuo Saiki to the other side, along with the things that were in the room. The treasures scattered all over the floor became obstacles that could cause trouble.

Under normal circumstances, Kusuo Saiki's body would crash into the brick wall on the other side along with various objects.

Kuroro cut the burning bandage. Coincidentally, there was a blanket among the items that had fallen from the room they had destroyed. He regained control of the bandage, pulled the blanket, and threw it at Kusuo Saiki. He wanted to test the temperature around Kusuo Saiki!

However, when Kusuo Saiki's body slammed into the side of the ship, everything defied common sense. The walls and steel pipes on that side seemed to have encountered something indestructible and incredibly hard, twisting, squeezing, and crumbling! It was as if he hadn't thrown a person, but a cannonball or an iron ball!

The blanket he threw over didn't catch fire, and Kuroro began to wonder about the reason behind it. He immediately used bandages to tie up Saiki Kusuo through the blanket.

Did the brief silence calm Kusuo Saiki down?

Kusuo Saiki, wrapped in a blanket, was quiet as Kuroro slowly walked towards him.

Kuroro looked down at the floor and noticed a hissing sound coming from the floor beneath the blanket where Saiki Kusuo's feet were touching the floor.

Even though they weren't very close, Kuroro could feel the scorching heat from there!

"Pfft!" The bandage caught fire again, but the blanket remained unharmed!

Kuroro pulled the bandage back, and the thief's ultimate technique was activated.

Is it specifically designed to counter Nen abilities? Then don't use this kind of materialization ability.

If it's about temperature, try ice.

Turning water into ice is a rarely used ability, but right now, torrential rain is pouring in from the cracks above, creating a pool of water on the ground, which is the perfect setting for this ability!

Kuroro took a step forward, but nothing happened.

What happened? He definitely turned to that page.

Kuroro looked down and noticed a page in the book radiating flames. He turned back to that page and discovered that the bandage's power hadn't been fully retracted; rather, it was still in use because it had been tainted by flames!

Damn it. Kuroro immediately unleashed a large amount of bandages, but a corner of that page had already been set on fire. What would happen next, he had no idea!

With an unheard-of ability, Kuroro was helpless against Saiki Kusuo, who was lying on the ground but still burning the ground. The most crucial thing was that he could not escape unscathed. The Thief's Secret Technique being ignited would burn off that page, which was fortunate. But if it burned off the entire book, he would be crippled.

"This is really... too 'interesting'." Sweat or rain dripped from Kuroro's forehead, and the downpour gradually soaked their bodies, causing the flames to seem to dim slightly.

Suddenly, the ship tilted again, in the opposite direction! Kusuo Saiki slid from his original position toward Kuroro.

The blankets had already been spread out. Kuroro jumped up, stood on the wall, and grabbed the steel pipe at the top to steady himself. Meanwhile, Kusuo Saiki slammed into the wall again, but this time the wall behind him was not a room, but the outermost iron wall of the ship.

Based on the experience of the previous two collisions, Kusuo Saiki would undoubtedly be thrown overboard. To be thrown overboard and fall into the sea while unconscious during a storm—the outcome is predictable.

Chapter 54 Hunter Exam: Seasickness Crisis 2

However, dying may cause the loss of the ability.

Kuroro is no good person; preserving his own life is definitely more important to him than to Kusuo Saiki.

Kuroro's burning bandages extended a long trail, but the flames didn't immediately burn them; instead, they slowly scorched the bandages, a burning sensation that made Kuroro feel as if the flames were about to climb up his body.

So Kuroro did nothing to stop him, just watching Saiki Kusuo crash into the wall, his heart pounding calmly as he waited for him to break through.

"Ugh..." Kusuo Saiki's back slammed against the wall, but instead of flying through it as Kuroro had predicted, he let out a muffled groan, a rare occurrence for him.

Has Kusuo Saiki's power weakened? Not entirely. His superpowers haven't disappeared; it's just that due to seasickness and the bracer's properties, he's become somewhat indiscriminate in his abilities, causing his long-standing, stable superpowers to return to his body. His power is still there, but it chooses to recede and accumulate within him, not even amplifying his physical body. Or perhaps the power that would have amplified his physical surface has already been greedily devoured by the bracer.

But the superpowers didn't completely give up; instead, they continued to operate in strange places.

Kuroro had no idea about the underlying reasons for all of this. He only knew that nothing was being distorted and that the appearance of Saiki Kusuo becoming weaker meant, in Kuroro's eyes, that Saiki Kusuo was about to settle down.

Since Kusuo Saiki didn't crash out, he needed to get closer to Kusuo Saiki to find out what was going on. He couldn't let this mysterious ability burn the books.

Kuroro cautiously touched Saiki Kusuo with the flame bandage, but Saiki didn't react when Kuroro shook him or helped him up.

A thought? Kuroro was startled and called out, "Saki? You're awake?"

Bandages, unfamiliar things binding his body, finally activated Kusuo Saiki's superpowers. But the chaotic superpowers didn't even know how to fight back. His mind went blank, and his superpower was just randomly drawn from countless cartridges—telepathy.

It is also the most widely used one.

The uncomfortable emotions and sensations throughout his body were instantly transmitted to Kuroro through his superpowers via telepathy. To be precise, it was transmitted to everyone within a three-meter radius, except that there was no one else within that three-meter radius except Kuroro!

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over Kuroro, leaving him momentarily disoriented. He immediately closed his eyes and slammed his arm into the wall beside him to steady himself. The danger didn't end there, because at the same time, he also felt the heat.

Kuroro opened his eyes and looked at himself; there was no part of him burning.

He wasn't actually burned, but all his temperature-sensitive nerves were affected by telepathy, especially his brain's perception! They all received a strong transmission of "heat"!

Is it just a feeling? Kuroro knows that Kusuo Saiki can use illusion magic and once used it to impersonate him. What kind of illusion magic is this? Is it conveying Kusuo Saiki's own feelings?

However, he felt more clearly that perhaps, very likely, he was doomed if things continued this way.

At this moment, Kuroro reached an unprecedented level of calm. Such a real cognitive error was no joke. Even though it did not actually happen, consciousness can still influence matter. People committing suicide while under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs is a very good example. Sometimes, people who commit suicide are even unarmed!

This is dangerous. It's not just me who needs to cool down; Saiki Kusuo, the source of the hallucinations, also needs to cool down!

Kuroro immediately used the Flame Bandage to bring Saiki Kusuo to the rooftop, and then jumped up himself to face the downpour!

The torrential rain washed over the two of them, slightly reducing the discomfort caused by the temperature, but the dizziness suddenly intensified. Kuroro took two steps, but almost couldn't walk straight.

It was seasickness; the boat was rocking so violently because of the tornado.

They were really framed... to the point where even asking Hisoka for help was difficult? That Jitaraku was also a Nen user, right? Where are they?

The two were at the stern, and everyone was focused on getting the ship moving smoothly, so no one noticed their accident.

Kuroro gripped the railing, struggling to form a solution in his mind as he suppressed the intense dizziness.

The heat problem must be addressed immediately; my arms are already feeling numb and inflexible, and simply bringing down rain to cool them down is not enough.

The dizziness was caused by seasickness.

Stop both sensations, get off the ship and cool down, then...

Is jumping into the sea feasible?

Amidst the raging wind and rain, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, briefly illuminating the heavens.

Is it feasible to jump into the sea during a torrential downpour, in extremely bad weather where even large ships are rocking and struggling to move forward?

Kuroro took a deep breath, the torrential rain washing over his mind and slightly reducing his fever.

Kuroro slowly stood up, holding onto the railing, and pulled Saiki Kusuo, who seemed to have lost consciousness and could only be bound by burning bandages due to the high temperature.

The ship rocked violently. Kuroro, who was not usually seasick, now experienced all the symptoms of seasickness as the ship swayed. For a disciplined and usually calm person, the feeling of losing control was terrible.

Suppressing his chaotic senses, Kuroro stood tall in the storm and made a decision.

It's not arrogance; his book contains the ability to survive in the sea, provided that one can resolve the issue of that page's ability being burned by flames and unable to use other abilities, or... manage to use two abilities simultaneously before dying.

This requires him to construct entirely new constraints, along with countless limitations, because the ability is already in use, and modifying it is extremely troublesome.

But he believed he could do it; all he needed was a clear mind.

As the boat rocked again, rainwater soaked the ground, and the two slid in another direction. Suddenly, Kuroro jumped up, spun around in the air, and successfully stepped onto the swaying pole.

The storm was howling, and in the distance, tornadoes and lightning roared and danced together. Kuroro's heart was originally calm, and at this moment he even felt a sense of pleasure because he was in an extremely dangerous environment. Amidst the confusion of various senses caused by telepathy, he finally found the part of his senses that had never been possessed before.

That part of him, completely absent in Kusuo Saiki, was uniquely his. He was inherently exceptionally brilliant, possessing an exhilarating sense of danger, a thirst for challenge, and the pleasure of dancing with death…

Kuroro Crusoe cannot and should not be completely overwhelmed by the perceptions of others, thus losing his own identity.

He stood on the sloping railing, gazing at the storm in the distance. The raging winds and the roaring sea now seemed like countless enchanting dance floors, drawing him into them.

Dizziness was constantly bothering him, and after deciding to jump ship, he didn't want to stay on the ship for another second.

Kuroro pulled his wrist away, using the burning bandage to lift Saiki Kusuo up. He drew an arc in the air, then lightly touched down the railing to the hull. With his next kick, he gathered his Nen and kicked the railing hard!

Just like a swimmer kicking against the wall when starting underwater, he uses all his strength to step on the sturdiest hull, sending his body far away from the starting point.
