Chapter 401: Inside the Spider Web

In the original work, Kurapika developed an ability called "Absolute Time" in order to perfectly exert the strength of "Contract Chain".

This ability allows Kurapika to break through the limitations of the mind attribute in the state of red eyes and exert any mind-based ability effect 100%.

But the price of "Absolute Time" is that Kurapika will lose one hour of life for every second he uses the ability.

This is a pure kryptonian ability.

From Kurapika's perspective, he really needs this ability.

Otherwise, as a materialization type, let alone facing the entire Phantom Troupe alone, due to the difference in advantages and disadvantages brought by the mind attribute, he may not even be able to cross the level of the Phantom Troupe's enhanced mind ability users.

So, Kurapika has no choice.

He can only gamble his life.

But after Moyu intervened, there was actually no need to kryptonian.

Giving the heads of Hisoka and Kubi to Kurapika was just a joke that Moyu said casually.

He wanted Kurapika to understand one thing.

That is, there is no need to deal with the Phantom Troupe alone, and there is a more important matter than punishing the Phantom Troupe, which is to find the eyes of the tribe members.

However, joking aside, Moyu's attitude towards dealing with the Phantom Troupe has not changed.

Phantom Troupe——

He has it in his hands!

"Moyu, what is the strength of the Phantom Troupe?"

Kurapika, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked the most concerned question.

He only knew that the Phantom Troupe was a criminal gang composed of thirteen members, and that each member had the ability to read. As for the recognition of strength, he had only come into contact with Hisoka.

"You suddenly asked this question, and I really didn't know how to answer it for a while."

Moyu pondered, but suddenly thought of Hisoka.

If Hisoka was used as a combat unit, Kurapika should be able to simply understand the general situation.

After all, Kurapika had faced Hisoka in the Hunter Test...

"Kurapika, what do you think of Hisoka's strength?"

"Very strong."

"Then, you can imagine that there are about six or seven Hisos among the members of the Phantom Troupe. If all of them are added together, it is equivalent to about ten Hisos."

"..."

Hearing what Moyu said, Kurapika was a little stunned, but the image of ten Hisos with perverted smiles naturally appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Ten Hisos standing together...

Just imagining it will indeed give rise to a sense of powerlessness.

Because in the world of Nen ability battles, multiple Nen ability users can always exert a combat power effect that exceeds 1+1.

So——

It really needs the opportunity to fight alone!

Moyu looked at Kurapika's slightly chilly expression, wondering if it was because of his words that he thought of some strange images?

Kurapika shook his head, drove out the Hisoka in his mind, and then looked at Moyu.

"How many of you are there in the Phantom Troupe?"

"Hmm..."

Moyu didn't expect Kurapika to ask this question. He raised his eyebrows, pointed his finger at his chin, and answered without much thought: "About three or four."

"Three or four..."

Kurapika was a little absent-minded.

Moyu raised his index finger towards Kurapika and smiled: "If it's one-on-one, I will win."

After that, he raised his second index finger, and in Kurapika's surprised eyes, he continued to smile and said: "If it's one-on-two, I will win."

Then he raised his third finger: "If it's one-on-three, it's hard to say, but I will definitely not lose, but if it's three Hisos, I can basically win."

Moyu's statement immediately made Kurapika more curious, and he took the initiative to ask: "What about one-on-four?"

"Can't win."

Moyu took back his hand, only saying that he couldn't win, but didn't say that he was sure to lose.

Single combat and fighting with a small number against a large number are actually different concepts. At the same time, never underestimate the combat power that multiple Nen users can exert.

If it is a one-on-one fight, even if Chrollo comes, it will be useless.

With multiple trump cards in hand, Moyu has absolute confidence to completely defeat Chrollo.

But if it is a fight with a small number against a large number, Chrollo's ability characteristics will be an unpredictable variable.

Moyu will not be arrogant and think that he can directly defeat the Phantom Troupe just because he has trump cards such as the "Netero Mask".

No one will always stand still.

He will become stronger, and the people of the Phantom Troupe are the same.

Moreover, the Thousand Change Mask with Netero's imprint has a disadvantage that must be faced, that is, the accuracy and strength of the imprinted Nen ability will be affected by the "Nen attribute".

And if the wearing time exceeds eight seconds, there will be a risk of being swallowed.

The time limit is a small problem. The main theme of the Hundred-style Guanyin is "fast", and it can perfectly squeeze out the value within eight seconds.

This is also the fundamental reason why Moyu had to develop Indonesian Tro.

On the contrary, it is the accuracy of the ability——

Although the ability of Hundred-style Guanyin seems to have multiple characteristics of the mind attribute, Netero who developed this ability is a reinforcement type.

And Moyu is a characteristic type. Before developing the ability of "Mirror Flower Water Moon", he always hated fighting with the reinforcement type.

The reason is that when facing the reinforcement type, he is limited by the conversion of the attack and defense of the mind attribute. When attacking, he needs to devote more mind energy to cause damage to the reinforcement type.

The most intuitive feeling is no different from the battle in the museum exchange event.

Precisely because of the inherent difference in offensive and defensive power brought about by the telepathy attribute, an attack that should have been a sure-kill blow under normal circumstances only caused moderate damage when it fell on the strengthening system.

If Moyu is allowed to use "Nitro Mask", he cannot rely too much on the value of his combat power.

So as he just said——

He couldn't win against four members of the Phantom Troupe, let alone the entire Phantom Troupe by himself.

certainly.

This statement he made was aimed at "ring battles".

Sneak attack, diversion, defeat one by one...

There are many means and methods that can be adopted.

How could Moyo just stand in the ring and wait for all the members of the Phantom Troupe to come and beat him up?

In general, with his own strength, it is extremely difficult to destroy the Phantom Troupe in one go, and it comes with fatal risks.

but……

Risk versus return!

If he really dares to take huge risks and succeeds in destroying the entire Phantom Troupe, he will definitely get unimaginable rewards from "perception".

In fact, that's what he originally planned.

Returns come with risks, this has always been his philosophy of action.

"Kurapika, you don't need to think so much right now, you should just concentrate on perfecting your telekinesis abilities."

Moyu promptly interrupted Kurapika's speculation about the combat power of others.

The main reason for taking the initiative to talk to Kurapika this time was to make Kurapika give up the idea of ​​​​krypton life.

Besides——

The bloodline advantage of the Kuluta clan does not necessarily need to be used in the ability of "absolute time".

When it is in the flaming eye state, the upper limit and intensity of the displayed energy can be improved to a certain extent.

In Moyu's opinion, this is enough.

In the following days, in addition to perfecting the ability of "Contract Chain", Kurapika fought against the prisoners of the trap tower every day.

While accumulating combat experience, you can also learn many techniques and methods from the prisoners.

Every day was exhausting, but Kurapika still felt like there wasn't enough time.

If his physical condition permits, he may give up sleeping time.

Moyu saw Kurapika working so hard, and he vaguely saw his own shadow in Kurapika.

In the past, in order to quickly rescue Hawk who was trapped in the mind space, he was like Kurapika now, trying his best to become stronger...

"I haven't been back for a long time."

Moyu's thoughts drifted to the temple standing on the top of the scenic mountain.

After coming out of the ruins, he used phone calls and text messages to report to Hawke that he was safe, but he never returned home.

I don’t know how the tourist flow in the scenic spot has been in recent years. If there are fewer people going, the temple must be deserted.

When he thought of this, the image that came to Moyu's mind was that of Hawke sitting alone in the courtyard, exuding a strong sense of déjà vu as an empty-nest old man.

"Baby Rat, go home and see Hawke sometime."

Moyu curled his lips and reached out to touch the blue bead necklace around his neck.

"Jiji!"

The azure bead flickered, and the rat treasure's cheerful cry came from it.

time flies--

Twenty-six days after coming to the Trap Tower.

Menqi, who completed the task of teaching newcomers, rushed to the trap tower without stopping to meet Moyu.

"Why isn't it over yet?"

After coming to the Trap Tower, Menqi found out that Moyu was still teaching Kurapika, and immediately expressed confusion.

Moyu then briefly explained the ins and outs to Menqi, including his plan to deal with the Phantom Troupe.

But after hearing this, Menqi only cared about one thing.

"Master, you have accepted a second apprentice..."

"Well."

Moyu was speechless.

Strictly speaking, there is no formal master-disciple relationship between him and Kurapika.

But in the future, in order to get corresponding rewards from the perception, this matter must be finalized.

Menqi was very unhappy, but this little emotion only stayed with her for two days at most, and then she accepted the reality of having one more junior brother.

"After eating, there won't be any soup stain left!"

In the days that followed, Menchi began to prepare various luminous dishes for Kurapika that could relieve fatigue or strengthen the body.

Thanks to Menchi's luminous dishes, Kurapika can squeeze out more time to practice every day.

After staying in the trap tower for more than two months, Kurapika accumulated a lot of combat experience and perfected the ability of "Contract Chain".

The time came to June 11, 1999.

Moyu bid farewell to Libo and left the trap tower with Kurapika, Xiaodi, and Menqi.

During the period of time when he was teaching Kurapika, Moyu could always receive reports from Hisoka, the second and fifth boy.

According to the information provided by Hisoka, there is a hacker hunter in the Phantom Troupe who is responsible for collecting intelligence.

And this hacker hunter didn't know what method he used. Without key information, he was able to locate the approximate area where he was located on the map.

It's just that we can't accurately locate it, so we can only use time to slowly reduce the scope.

In addition to the hacker hunter's information, Hisoka also provided information on two other reinforcement types.

Moyo knew from this that the Phantom Troupe had recruited new members, but there was nothing surprising about this.

Within the spider web, who is waiting for whom?

"What are you going to do?"

This is the inquiry text message Hisoka sent to Moyu after gradually providing information.

Moyu casually replied "Plan B", and then started the "read it without reply" approach, ignoring the several messages Hisoka sent asking what Plan B was.

"It's almost time to start."

Sitting on the spaceship heading to the Sky Arena, Moyu stared at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

In more than four months, Kurapika completely completed his transformation, from a rookie who knew nothing about Nen abilities to a Nen ability user who can stably use "Ken" in battle.

The speed of its progress cannot be described as unsatisfactory.

But in front of the main members of the Phantom Troupe, such strength is still not enough.

Even so, Moyu did not refuse Kurapika's request to join him in defeating the Phantom Troupe.

"The true identity of master and apprentice has been confirmed, but the reward has not been unlocked."

Moyu looked away from the window and said to himself: "Do we have to wait until the Phantom Troupe is destroyed..."

In the past, when I decided to accept Menqi as my apprentice, I was given a "Jue +1" reward.

This time, not only did he teach Kurapika telekinesis for more than four months, but he also formally established the title of master and apprentice. However, there was no movement at all.

Moyu was very surprised by this, but he was not too entangled.

His current focus is on destroying the Phantom Troupe.

A few days later.

The spaceship landed at the city airport where the sky arena is located.

Before getting off the spacecraft, Kurapika suddenly asked Moyu for a competition.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Moyu did not refuse immediately, but asked a question.

Kurapika looked particularly serious and nodded: "OK."

"good."

Seeing that Kurapika was serious, Moyu agreed.

The group then went to the Sky Arena.

A few hours after they left the airport, a spaceship landed on the tarmac.

After a while.

A cute girl with a golden twin-tail hairdo and a princess dress stepped off the spacecraft.

"Really, I am very busy during this time."

The girl with the golden ponytail was Bisji. She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message saying "We're here" to Moyu, and then walked straight to the airport lobby.

After arriving in the hall, Bisji suddenly thought of something, and his hands wearing white gloves clapped together hard, making a crisp sound.

"By the way, I remember that kid has been hanging out with Jin Gui for a while. Maybe I can get him to help me get a game qualification. Well, let's do it like this. Consider it the reward for this trip."

Bisji's eyes lit up, and his delicate, doll-like face was filled with a smile.

"Hello."

Suddenly, a young male voice came from behind Bisji.

Bisji looked back when he heard the sound, and then saw two teenagers of similar age.

One has black hair and golden eyes, and the other has silver hair and blue eyes. They look to be only eleven or twelve years old.

The person who greeted me just now was a young man with hedgehog hair and golden eyes. He looked at Bisji and asked, "Excuse me, the Jin you mentioned just now, is his full name Jin Fulis?"

"ha?"

Bisji looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
