The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

It was indeed fortunate that this scene occurred; otherwise, he would have tried to extract information from the victim.

If you ask where Uvogin went, the Swordsman will immediately know.

Kusuo Saiki memorized what the map looked like.

"Qi Mu-san, what are you doing?" Xia Ke held up his phone and peered into the camera. After all, it was the computer he had just used. Was the other person looking at some information?

Kusuo Saiki held up the data cable in his hand, the one whose charging head he had just unplugged.

"Hey...why not design it with a regular mobile phone interface?"

Well then, it's time to go. Kusuo Saiki didn't want to linger a second longer; the air with a corpse around was too awful.

He turned to face the corpse on the ground, whose eyes were wide open when it died. Kusuo Saiki's expression darkened, but he still used teleportation to leave the room in front of the knight.

"Thank you..." The swordsman studied the socket for a while, then turned around and found that there was no one behind him.

The knight covered his mouth with his phone. Should he report this person to the guild leader? After all, the guild leader had warned that this person was dangerous.

However, when Kusuo Saiki found the hotel where Neon was, he discovered that Kurapika, who was her bodyguard, was no longer there. The others were playing with Neon while packing up and preparing to escape.

So, is it highly likely that Kurapika has already left with Uvogin?

Kusuo Saiki once again flew into the night sky. The wilderness was much easier to find than the city. In the uninhabited wilderness, his inner voice was especially clear.

Chapter 79 Yoko Ono x Kurapika x Uvogin

Kusuo Saiki teleported to the vicinity of the Heart's Voice. There were many rocks around the two of them fighting, and Kusuo Saiki landed behind a boulder.

There's no need to peek out to see the scene; you can get a glimpse through the lens.

At this point, Uvogin was bound by chains all over his body and obviously could not break free by force alone.

Kurapika's eyes were bloodshot as he reached out to Uvogin, a chain on his little finger fluttering up with a hook at the bottom.

Kusuo Saiki felt something was off. Why were they chains that symbolized a vow? Shouldn't Kurapika be thinking of killing Uvogin...?

Kurapika was clearly not as calm as he appeared at this moment.

Kurapika wasn't blinded by hatred, and he didn't intend to kill the Phantom Troupe...?

Are you an idiot?

If the Phantom Troupe finds you, you will be killed without mercy. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself!

As the night wind blew by, Uvogin, who had been badly injured by Kurapika, spat at Kurapika, who jumped away to avoid it.

“I won’t say anything,” Uvogin said resolutely, his loyalty to the Phantom Troupe evident.

“I won’t kill you either,” Kurapika said, somewhat disoriented but still resolute. “The moment I kill you, wouldn’t I become just like you scum? I won’t do that.”

Kusuo Saiki: Even if you've lost a blood relative because of this, you're still unwilling to kill? However, no law in the world can punish them. Handing them over to the Hunter Association would only cause a major war between the two sides, and the Hunter Association might not even care.

The world of Hunter x Hunter is far more cruel than the world of Kusuo Saiki.

People's understanding of life and death thus leads to different conclusions.

So, what is Kurapika going to do? Kusuo Saiki waited behind the rocks. If Kurapika did not intend to destroy the Phantom Troupe's existence, including to the point of death, yet he still had such a strong constraint and oath binding his heart, what changes had occurred in his will?

“Wokin, the chain on my little finger will be connected to your heart, binding you.”

"First, from now on, I will no longer be able to use my mind and will be in a state of absolute control."

"Second, from now on you are not allowed to have any communication with Phantom Troupe members, you are not allowed to approach Phantom Troupe members, and you are prohibited from acting in the name of Phantom Troupe. If you do so, the chains will tighten inside your body, and your organs will be damaged until you die. I advise you not to try it."

"Third, you must not reveal my information to anyone. The chains will stop you, and if you insist on revealing it, you will die."

Too many people die suddenly. Are they in such danger before they even have a chance to take action against the enemy?

Kusuo Saiki used his X-ray vision to discover that the chains embedded in Uvogin's body had avoided his heart.

Kurapika is no longer driven by a desire for revenge that could lead to mutual destruction. His resolve is not to kill the Phantom Troupe. His goal has shifted from seeking revenge against the specific members of the Phantom Troupe who stole the eyes of all his clansmen to making the Phantom Troupe disappear as an organization.

The level of hatred and cost has decreased, and the extent to which chains can function has also decreased. They can no longer establish an ironclad rule of killing people directly, but instead encircle several organs of the body.

Conversely, what heavy price did Kurapika pay to achieve that seemingly straightforward request that directly resulted in someone's death in the original work?

Now, however...

If there is any intention to reveal Kurapika's personal information or to communicate with other members of the Phantom Troupe, the chains will tighten, potentially strangling or even severing his throat.

If they come into contact with the chain, or act as members of the guild, the chain will likely tighten around their internal organs. The fragile organs, which are not protected by Nen, will easily cause the bound person to suffer extreme pain due to such actions, and then die in an ordinary body.

Sealing Nen abilities also prevents the opponent from committing evil even when alone.

What if Uvogin is determined to tell the Phantom Troupe, even at the cost of his life?

No, it's impossible. When you get close, Uvogin's body will sense it. The closer you get, or the more you want to say it, the closer you are to breaking the contract. The chains will execute in advance as a warning. The person breaking the contract will feel that they are courting death in the excruciating pain from their organs. Most people would hesitate and stop on the road to suicide.

Even suicide cannot bring out any useful information.

Kurapika has left the arena, leaving only Uvogin bound in place and poisoned, unable to move for 24 hours.

Uvogin has been poisoned twice already. There's a reason why the Zoldycks trained their poison resistance from a young age. Every Nen user's duel involves poison, how can you compete like that?

Kusuo Saiki walked out of his original spot, lost in thought, not looking at Uvogin at all, but instead gazing at Kurapika's figure in the distance.

"It's you!! So you're one of the Chainhands too!" Uvogin roared.

Uvogin's roar, now devoid of Nen, is normal; it has no offensive power and cannot harm anyone, yet it startles psychics.

Kusuo Saiki shuddered and turned around abruptly, as if he hadn't expected Uvogin to speak at all.

Don't scare me, hey.

This kind of thing can indeed happen with Enhancement-type characters; it's a matter of probability. Nendou, he just didn't hear Uvogin's thoughts!

"Heh, the chained hand is already far away. You're here to finish him off, aren't you? Go easy on him, you little brat."

So why did you treat me as Kurapika's ally? Is it possible that I originally came to save you?

Kusuo Saiki turned to Uvogin, covering his mouth as he pondered.

Oh dear, I was thinking that once I saved Uvogin's life, we'd be even, but Kurapika has a change of heart. He doesn't intend to kill anyone, and he won't kill anyone in the future. The only way he'll kill someone... I can't save someone from death caused by breaking the Chain Oath.

Ultimately, dying under a chained oath is considered suicide, and one cannot bring oneself to save someone who chooses to die of their own volition.

What should we do? Should we help Uvogin remove Nen? He doesn't know how either! Superpowers and Nen are two different systems, only these natives have them! Apart from the accident during the Ship Curse where his Nen ability was mysteriously burned by flames, he has never had any ability to affect Nen.

Wait, won't anyone die in the future Phantom Troupe? Although no one has died in the original manga storyline so far, the most important plot point has been changed. What Uvogin will do next is completely unpredictable and could seriously affect the story. The prophecy poem said that half of the members would die, right?

At this moment, Kusuo Saiki is internally making simple calculations about the butterfly effect that may occur in the future.

His superhuman brain considered countless possibilities, and perhaps because of this, he overlooked a small detail in the outside world.

Within his field of vision, whatever Uvogin does is within his sight. Uvogin as an ordinary person—even Uvogin with Nen abilities—cannot harm him in the slightest.

Having always been in a state of 100% safety, Kusuo Saiki rarely felt wary.

Before his eyes, in the blink of an eye, a pale green filter color slowly descended. This unusual sensation only occurred for a moment, because the thin lens was quickly seen through.

what happened?

Everything in the world has a lifespan; it will eventually reach its limit and break down.

The white-rimmed, green-lensed glasses fell to the ground, and before Kusuo Saiki could react, Uvogin in front of him was already petrified.

Kusuo Saiki's face darkened. He had just been about to chase after Kurapika, but now he had no choice but to find a place to store Uvogin, right?

This desolate wilderness seems fine, it's good. No one would be so bored as to damage a large gorilla statue, right?

No, it's still a bit dangerous. What if the meteorite hits Uvogin? = I killed Uvogin = the Phantom Troupe would come for revenge, and that would be a lot of trouble, wouldn't it? How about we bury him? Burying him is the safest way to deal with it.

Burying someone alive seems even worse.

After much deliberation, Kusuo Saiki put his glasses back on and, with the statue of Uvogin in tow, found a cave.

Inside the cave, a black bear roared at him as if guarding its territory, and Kusuo Saiki stared back at the bear.

3, 2, 1...

The black bear obediently stuck out its tongue, took one step at a time, bowed, and climbed out of the cave, squatting down at the entrance.

Kusuo Saiki left the cave and gave instructions to the black bear.

Of course, he wouldn't bully the weak just because he's powerful. This is a deal. In return, he will go to Youkexin City at this time tomorrow to buy several dozen kilograms of meat for Black Bear. These are the agreed-upon terms.

Although the black bear didn't know why it could only nod.

Well, I haven't done anything yet but I've already spent a lot of money. Anyway, now I can go and follow Kurapika without worry.

Kurapika drove away alone; he had just used the power of the Little Finger Chain, and his condition was clearly not good.

Using this power would consume a large amount of his mental energy and might even damage his life.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kurapika will absolutely not be able to dismantle the entire Phantom Troupe by using it 12 times in a short period of time.

Clearly, Kurapika had also noticed. The Phantom Troupe members were all incredibly powerful, and the effort required to successfully restrain them was immense.

Kurapika has this plan.

Kurapika, perhaps trying to calm himself down, had all the windows open, and amidst the howling wind, the transparent Kusuo Saiki sat in the back seat.

Yay! To fulfill his promise, he now needs to keep track of Kurapika's movements. After not seeing him for over half a year, he's memorized Kurapika's current appearance perfectly. Even though using his Clairvoyance might be a bit of a hassle, he can still find Kurapika in the city center if necessary.

If Kurapika doesn't wear makeup.

Makeup is completely unavailable; I'm not even familiar enough with Kurapika to the point where I'd recognize him even if he were ashes.

It doesn't really matter; clever superhumans always have a solution, for example...

Kusuo Saiki reached into his pocket and took out a chip the size of a fingernail.

Occasionally, I believe in the power of technology; the Zoldyck family has a lot of convenient tracking gadgets.

While Kurapika was preoccupied with figuring out how to deal with the Phantom Troupe, Kusuo Saiki successfully took out Kurapika's phone.

As long as Kurapika always carries his phone, he can know Kurapika's location.

Kusuo Saiki put the phone back in its original place.

The car was now close to the city center, but Kusuo Saiki showed no intention of getting out. He figured it wouldn't hurt to follow Kurapika and observe their current situation.

"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep..." Kurapika's phone rang.

Kurapika freed one hand from the steering wheel to answer the phone.
