Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Yes, to save lives.

He naturally knew who was living in the villa, and he also understood that the daughter of the Nosra family head was seriously ill and was looking for someone who could cure her. Clearly, this was the reason why he had come.

The new security guard wanted to say something, but didn't. Watching the two figures leave, he quickly rubbed his eyes, looking surprised... Had he seen things wrong?

Just now, he seemed to have seen a pair of eyes flash by in that person's shadow.

In fact, he wasn't mistaken; it was Gastly playing a prank in the shadows.

The mysterious man's true identity is a puppet controlled by Lynn using an enemy controller, originating from a henchman of a rival gang.

His main body stays at home, and when the enemy controls this person using a controller, it's like playing a game where you can see the puppet's perspective.

The difficulty of control depends on the skill of the person being controlled and the distance.

For an ordinary person like him, he can control the device over a distance of more than ten kilometers with very low Nen consumption. If it were a B+ level Capone, the range would be limited to a few hundred meters.

Using this puppet and Gastly, he can temporarily act as an exorcist while avoiding risks. Even if something is discovered to be wrong, Gastly will destroy the evidence immediately.

The puppet followed the old security guard to a magnificent hall.

There are now four people in the hall.

The pale-faced Nion sat on the sofa directly in front of her, next to an old monk who looked to be about forty or fifty years old. The monk had his eyes closed and was muttering something, turning prayer beads in his hand.

Occasionally, wisps of golden light and spiritual energy would flow from the prayer beads and then land on Neon.

Monks, as people are familiar with, are usually dressed simply. But this person was different. As if afraid others wouldn't know he was rich, he wore a golden robe and was adorned with jewels.

Beside him stood Lightnosra, looking anxious, and Dazoni, the captain of the Nosra family's guard.

Upon seeing the old security guard appear with his men, Dazo Nie, the captain of the guard team, immediately stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Exorcist," Lynn said slowly, manipulating the puppet.

Exorcist!

But... this person didn't use [Entanglement], and at first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary person. Since he couldn't tell if his identity was real or fake, Dazo Nie didn't dare to treat him lightly and quickly informed the family head, Wright.

"Has an exorcist come?" Wright asked excitedly, as if he were a drowning person grasping at a straw.

He has been suffering terribly every day lately because his beloved daughter is plagued by suicidal thoughts, her body is weak, and most importantly, she can no longer use her abilities!

The last point is the most fatal.

He, Letnosra, owes his current position entirely to his daughter Neon's extraordinary divination skills.

He knew very well how much his family would decline without this ability, which was absolutely unacceptable!

This is only a long-term risk; he has immediate and pressing concerns right now.

The incident began two weeks ago when Neon performed divination for several high-ranking gang members, and their divination poems all contained similar death predictions.

So the order came from above to have Neon do the divination again, but then Neon had this problem again. To deal with the death thoughts, they could only find a spirit exorcist to help.

However, exorcists are notoriously rare and precious.

The higher-ups understood that this was a very difficult situation, so after discussion, they invited the only exorcist supported by the ten elders, which was this monk.

But the monk had been casting spells for a whole day, and Neon's condition still hadn't improved, which made Wright, who thought victory was in sight, even more anxious... Was this just a show?

Although he had such thoughts in his heart, he had no better way. Just then, a spirit exorcist arrived, presumably because of their widespread publicity.

No, even if it meant risking offending the master, he had to let this stranger, the exorcist, give it a try.

Otherwise, putting aside the fact that they failed to meet the higher-ups' requirements, given Neon's current condition, it's uncertain how long she can hold on... Neon absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.

Thinking of this, Wright lowered his posture and approached the monk, saying in a humble voice, "Master Ruin, why don't you rest for a while?"

Upon hearing this, the monk Ruin opened his eyes, glanced at Wright with disdain, and said "politely" on the surface, "I understand. Then Miss Neon will be exorcised by this man."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: even this old man finds it difficult to exorcise this affliction, so I'm afraid there are very few people in this world who can cure it!"

After saying that, Ruin flicked his sleeves and stood aside silently, waiting for the show to begin. Then Wright would come begging him for help again, and he would at least increase the reward by one percentage point!

Of course he knew what Wright was thinking—wasn't he just assuming he couldn't eliminate the Nen? What did these laymen know!

Chapter 44 The Exorcist Gets Slapped in the Face! A Person Craving Delicious Food!

Eliminating negative thoughts is no easy task.

He estimated that even with his painstaking efforts, it would take at least three months to remove the death wish from Nyon's body. It had only been a day, so of course there were no obvious signs.

As for this man in black robes, let's not even talk about whether he knows how to exorcise thoughts. Even if he does, he could never be better than someone with thirty years of experience in exorcising thoughts!

This……

Wright was a little embarrassed.

Master Ruin was clearly angry, but he had no other choice but to let the man try.

"How should I address this master?" Wright moved closer to the puppet, grinning like a lapdog.

“Nameless,” the puppet glanced at Wright and said casually.

"So you are the nameless master! Please help my daughter Neon remove the negative karma. I am willing to pay 30 billion jenny as a reward!" Wright said hurriedly. At this moment, he didn't care what the man's name was. As long as he had real skills, that was enough!

30 billion for a nun? That price is not bad.

The puppet nodded slightly, then stood in front of Neon and began to examine her.

Neon was beautiful and naive, a young lady with long blue hair tied in a high ponytail with a yellow ribbon, and she wore a simple white dress.

At this moment, her eyes were lifeless, occasionally revealing a painful struggle, and a wisp of dark purple death thoughts lingered around her.

Under the watchful eyes of others, the puppet remained motionless, but a cloud of black mist burst forth from the shadow beneath its feet, baring its fangs and claws in mid-air.

When Gastly saw the death shroud on Neon, it became very hungry.

The thought of death, which others would avoid at all costs, is its ultimate sustenance.

Lynn also speculated that if Gastly ate a certain amount of Death Thought, it could successfully evolve into Gengar!

Then, Gastly opened its mouth wide, as if inhaling air, and wisps of Death Thought flowed into its mouth like swallows returning to their nests.

Visibly, the death intent on Neon's body began to decrease little by little, even though Gastly was deliberately suppressing its speed.

Since Wright couldn't read, he had to ask Dazo Nie, who was standing next to him, about his current situation.

Dazo Nie, who had been stunned, finally came to his senses and whispered in her ear, "This is a truly powerful exorcist! The death spirit on Miss is gradually decreasing."

If we compare Ruin and "Nameless", their speed of mental transformation is like walking versus driving. Ruin might walk a distance that takes a whole day of hard work, but Nameless can catch up with or even surpass him in no time while driving.

A genuine exorcism master!

Moreover, he is extremely skilled!

Wright's body trembled. He knew that even a mind-removing master like Master Ruin was a treasure of the Ten Elders, so this nameless master was even rarer, a talent among talents!

You must do your best to please them!

On the other hand, Rui's expression had completely changed.

He was just getting ready to watch the show, but little did he know that he was the one who was narrow-minded and ignorant, and he was thoroughly humiliated!

"Hmph!" Ruin flung his hand and stormed out the door.

What's the point of staying here any longer? Are we just inviting humiliation?

Alright, now that Master Ruin is gone, the Nameless Master is the only and best choice, Wright thought to himself.

Having shown that he had displayed his abilities to a sufficient extent, the puppet waved his hand, and Gastly disappeared into the shadows.

"Haha, Master Wuming, you truly have excellent skills." Wright quickly praised, "Then I entrust my daughter to you."

"I wonder how long it will take to cure?"

“One month,” the puppet said calmly.

In fact, with Gastly's abilities, it could be resolved in less than half a month, but there's no need to perform so well; just being adequate is enough.

Lett nodded. A month... Although it's already past the time limit set by the authorities, it's the best solution right now. It's better than not being able to cure Neon at all.

As for Ruin, there was nothing he could do. It wasn't his fault; it was because he lacked the ability, which is why he sought someone else.

Thus, the puppet officially reached a deal with the Nosla family. The puppet promised to cure Neon within a month, and the Nosla family would pay a deposit of 15 billion first, and then pay another 15 billion later. During this period, the Nosla family would do everything in its power to provide whatever the puppet needed.

Similarly, the puppets had to live with the Nothra family, ostensibly to make it easier to treat Neon and entertain the puppets, but in reality, it was another form of supervision to prevent the puppets from escaping.

Lynn readily accepted this, since he was just a puppet sitting there anyway.

The enemy controller has two control modes. One is the game mode, where the enemy directly controls the puppet's actions, can see the puppet's perspective, and can make more precise reactions.

The second mode is AFK mode, where the puppet will perform simple commands such as walking, talking, and eating. Normally, the puppet can be left AFK under the pretext of liking to be alone. If others notice something is wrong, the puppet can then be taken over and enter the game mode.

After gaining initial trust, Lynn began to pull off some questionable tactics.

He had Gastly use the excuse of exorcising Nether to secretly use [Strange Light] on Neon. Neon felt dizzy and fell asleep, which can also be considered as being defeated.

Neon is an extremely rare natural Nen user, a Specialty Nen user, who possesses the special ability of divination.

I wonder if I'll get any cards, and if so, what kind of cards will I get?

With Neon asleep, he successfully acquired two new cards!

【Name: Divination Tissues】

[Grade: C+]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Doraemon]

[Description: The packaging looks like a regular tissue box. When you pull out a tissue, a divination result ranging from "very lucky" to "very unlucky" will be randomly displayed on it. The divination is very accurate; when you pull out a different result, a corresponding lucky or unlucky event will immediately occur in real life.]

Lynn carefully examined it and found that it was one of Doraemon's gadgets, which suited Neon quite well, as it had a fortune-telling effect.

According to the original text, users may receive a small surprise or encounter trouble depending on the divination results.

For example, when Nobita drew "medium luck", his mother immediately brought him pudding ice cream. When his mother drew "great luck", she found the important ring that she thought she had lost.

This wasn't just a simple divination; it seemed to have a conceptual aspect to it. Whichever lot he drew would change his luck.

However, the [Fortune-telling Tissue] is only C+ grade, so its luck range is probably very limited. In the original work, when Nobita and others drew lucky fortune sticks, it was just some minor good things, nothing particularly amazing.

We could wait until his Yu-Gi-Oh! deck cools down before using it, and then have him draw a piece of paper to do some divination before drawing a card.

If he draws the "Great Fortune" card, he will draw another card; if he doesn't draw the "Great Fortune" card, he will postpone drawing another card.

You can also have Capone and Chopper do the gacha pulls. As long as one of the three of them gets a great draw, the gacha pull rate will be increased to some extent.

Lynn looked at the next card with satisfaction. It was a trading card. At first glance, he thought it was like Toriko's, wanting to find food, but it was a little different...
