Chapter 417: Surprised or Not?
A street food stall.
Oil-stained tables and chairs were placed randomly, and a lot of garbage could be seen on the ground. There was a smelly ditch not far away, and fat rats could be seen running around there.
The food stall owner stood behind a food cart that was missing its wheels, holding a pot and ladle while frying the food, creating bursts of smoke.
The smoke swept away by the exhaust fan of the dining car actually exuded a mouth-watering aroma, which was incompatible with the poor dining environment.
In the center of the messy dining table, there is an old-fashioned TV placed on a dilapidated table cabinet. Perhaps it is old, and the TV makes a hissing sound when it plays the picture.
At this time, the TV was showing the live broadcast of the Sky Arena game.
A group of unkempt diners sat or squatted in front of the old-fashioned TV, watching with gusto.
Some diners were still holding handfuls of melon seeds in their hands, others were carrying a bottle of beer, and some were even nibbling chicken feet.
The famous two-star ruins hunter Jin Fullis is among them.
He is also unkempt, squatting with the surrounding diners, looking very harmonious.
"Are you taking risks..."
Jin Rao watched Moyou on the TV screen with interest, and naturally took out a few melon seeds from the hand of an uncle next to him. He didn't care that the uncle's hands holding the melon seeds were dirty enough to make mud balls, so he just took them out like that. Put melon seeds in your mouth.
The surrounding diners who were watching the live broadcast would definitely not have thought that the bearded man who was younger than them next to them was a big shot.
"Where are those three people?"
An old man with rosacea stared at the TV screen and asked curiously.
He was asking about Chrollo, Wo Jin, and Love, who had entered the Exiled Land's Mind Space.
The disappearance of a large number of living people out of thin air gave people a rather shocking impression. Then only Moyu came back, which made him feel confused.
Ordinary people don't know the existence of "mind", but they know that there are some strange people in the world such as "superpowers", "supermen", "magicians", "spiritualists" and so on.
For ordinary viewers who often follow Sky Arena competitions, those posters are basically people with strange abilities in their eyes.
Therefore, it is not unusual for them to transform into a living person.
It just creates doubts about where Chrollo and the other three have been moved and why they haven't come back yet.
"Go to hell."
A slovenly middle-aged man carrying a wine bottle replied casually.
Of course, he didn't know where Chrollo and the other three had gone. The reason why he made up the place "Hell" was not because he hated evil, but because he simply felt that "Hell" was a suitable place for the Phantom Troupe who had done many evil things.
"Ha ha……"
Some diners laughed and chimed in a few words, then simply ignored the topic.
Jin, the only one who knew what was going on, did not intervene in the topic. Instead, he picked up a few melon seeds here and a few skewers there, and then ate while watching the live broadcast.
The diners have already become friends with him, so they don't mind his sloppy behavior.
At this time, the street is not far away.
A long-haired man wearing a hat walked along the street, looking directly at the slightly noisy food stall.
He slowly slowed down his pace, first glanced at the boss who was cooking, then glanced around the diners in front of the TV, and soon locked his eyes on Jin.
"..."
The man stared at Jin's back silently, sighed slightly after taking a few breaths, and walked over.
Jin seemed to have heard the man's footsteps and was aware of them, but he did not look back at the long-haired man walking this way. Instead, he reached behind him with the half-eaten chicken feet in his hand.
"Want a bite?"
"..."
The man looked at the chicken feet that Jin handed over, shook his head and said, "No."
"All right."
Jin Wenyan took back the chicken feet and stuffed them into his mouth, and said vaguely: "If you have anything else, wait until I finish watching this 'game'."
"good."
The man followed the rules and stood quietly aside, waiting for the so-called game to end.
Jin stared at the live broadcast on the TV screen and suddenly said: "Kate, he is the person I mentioned to you."
As he spoke, he pointed at Moyu, who had just appeared in the live broadcast.
"Um?"
The man whom Jin called Kate raised his eyebrows slightly, followed the sound to the TV, and saw Moyu holding a long black knife in the picture.
However, this shot only stayed for two or three seconds and then moved elsewhere, focusing on a man named Hua Shi Douro.
Listening to the introduction of the commentator off-screen, this man is very famous in the Sky Arena.
But Kate's attention at the moment is instead on the camera that just passed by.
He clearly saw a divine word painted on the ring in that shot, but because the shot was too fast, he couldn't be sure for a while.
"That is indeed the divine word."
Jin seemed to sense Kate's psychological activities and spoke to help him confirm his judgment.
Kate also became interested at this time and asked: "Master, what kind of competition is this?"
“It was originally a competition, but now it’s become a hunt in which the wind is blowing.”
Jin carefully nibbled off the last bit of meat from the chicken feet, then finally looked back at Kate and said with a smile: "You're just in time to catch the main event. You might as well spend some time and see if you can gain some experience in facing the enemy."
"good."
Kate came up behind Kim obediently, then squatted down and looked at the old-fashioned TV surrounded by the crowd.
He came to Jin this time for a monster tribe called "Mammon".
However, before we can talk about the business, we have to squat here and watch this live broadcast together.
Jin picked up a handful of melon seeds and put them in Kate's palm.
Kate looked down at the melon seeds in her palm and could clearly feel the greasy feeling coming from the surface of her skin, and she was speechless.
After King Kong finished eating chicken feet, he started to crack melon seeds. He briefly explained the whole story to Kate in a few words, and then said:
"Kate, the word God that you can't learn well has become a part of the 'battle' in Moyou's hands."
As he said, Jin looked back at the silent Kate and reminded her seriously: "Watch carefully. If you can learn one or two points of Moyou's insidiousness this time, this trip will not be in vain."
"..."
Kate was speechless again.
He had heard about Moyou, a rising star, from Jin, and it can also be seen that Jin attaches great importance to this rising star.
But now, after hearing what Jin said, I always feel that the "importance" has changed a little.
Thinking so, Kate still obeyed Jin's request and watched the live broadcast on the TV screen attentively.
Powerful professional hunters often like to challenge some high-risk goals.
There will be gains, but they may also lose their lives...
Despite this, professional hunters are always happy to do it and will never stop moving forward easily.
Kate learned the general reason for this "match" from Jin's explanation, so even if she has never met Moyu, she can roughly see what kind of hunter Moyu is.
Of course.
What he cares more about now is the existence of the word "God".
Among the people Moyu is familiar with, not only Jin is paying attention to this game, but also Netero who is slacking off in the Hunter Association Building.
Because this game was preheated for several days before it started, some people chose to follow the game process through live broadcasts, while others went straight to Gurobo City, where the Sky Arena is located, after seeing the preheating notice.
Netero did not go to the scene to join in the fun, but only watched the live broadcast of the game in the exclusive tea room.
At first, I thought this would be a game that could kill some time, but I didn't expect it to turn into a drama where the Phantom Troupe came to trouble Moyu.
Netero was surprised, but soon guessed what was going on like Jin.
It was not that the Phantom Troupe went to trouble Moyu, but that Moyu was waiting for the Phantom Troupe on that "stage".
"Wow..."
Netero stroked his beard, and a faint smile floated in his eyes.
Whether it was Jin or Netero.
I never worried about Moyu from beginning to end.
Only professional hunters like them can deeply understand what Moyu is pursuing.
This is a hunt.
And professional hunters must have the awareness of death before starting the hunt.
Netero and Jin treated this matter so calmly, but Qiduo and others who were rushing to the Sky Arena were not so calm.
Originally, they wanted to meet Moyu in Guluo City through this game, but who would have thought that the Phantom Troupe would suddenly show up to cause trouble for Moyu.
This made Kita and his group anxious.
And this anxious mood reached its limit instantly after Moyu was pulled into the mind space by Kuroro's design.
Fortunately, Moyu came out of the mind space safely, and Biscuit and Kurapika and others entered the venue to assist.
Despite this, Kita and his group still sped up to the Sky Arena.
There are people who are concerned about Moyu's safety, and there are naturally people who just watch the excitement.
For example, Mi Ji from the Zoldyck family.
"Uh..."
In order to enjoy this duel, Mi Ji prepared a lot of snacks in advance, and the most of them were crispy potato chips.
But now he didn't dare to open them to eat.
Because——
Behind him stood Silva and Zeno.
If he opened the potato chips to eat, it might affect the viewing experience of the two elders.
"Why would grandpa and dad care about this kind of game, and..."
Mi Ji tensed his body, staring straight ahead at the enlarged screen, and whispered to himself in his heart:
"Why do you have to come to my place to watch? I'm not the only one with a TV at home. It can't be because the screen here is bigger?!"
The presence of the two elders made it impossible for Mi Ji to relax at all, let alone immerse himself in the game.
At the same time.
Kiya and Xiaojie in the Sky Arena also took action...
More and more eyes were focused on this "game accident", and no matter what the final result would be, it would definitely go down in history.
In the mind space of the Land of Exile.
The air was filled with visible dust and a smell of blood.
On the devastated rocky ground, Wojin and Love lay motionless.
A large amount of blood flowed from under them, gathering into red streams flowing in all directions.
In front of the smoke not far from Wojin and Love, Kuroro held a book in his right hand, and his eyes were filled with heavy shadows.
A deadly aura emanated from him.
"Ugh..."
Kuroro made a dry retching sound in his throat.
He was removing thoughts.
And this ability to remove thoughts was the ability called "Anorexia Appetite" that he stole from a mind remover.
When this ability is activated, the mouth will become very small, and the process of eliminating thoughts is like a severely anorexic eating with great difficulty.
For him, it is not uncomfortable, but it is not easy either.
Originally, this ability to eliminate thoughts was to be used to open the mind space after the "Coffin Plan" was completed.
Although the mind space is also being opened now, he is the only one who can get out alive...
Normally, this mind space is Love's mind ability.
Then once Love dies, the mind space will also dissipate.
But the mind space is still running, and this phenomenon has nothing to do with the thoughts after death.
Kuroro believes that the reason why the mind space is still running may be the special restrictions of the mind space itself, or it may be because he is one of the users of this mind space.
Regardless of the reason, it is fortunate that the retention of the mind space has nothing to do with the thoughts after death.
Otherwise, the "appetite of anorexics" may not be able to remove the mind space that has become stronger due to death.
Relatively speaking...
Because this is not the thought after death, with the death of Love, the strength of this mind space has been significantly weakened.
Kuroro silently chewed the thoughts that he had swallowed.
We will be able to get out soon...
Absolutely,
We must kill Moyu!
The competition venue.
Koha died easily without protection.
On the one hand, it was because Valpo was stopped by Hua Shi Dou Lang, and on the other hand, Shataga was warming up.
"Three-minute heat"
This is Shataga's ability of thoughts, and the effect is to gain stronger power temporarily through warming up.
The strength and duration of this short-term power depend on the attitude and time of warming up.
But no matter how to warm up, Shataga can only get a maximum of three minutes of enhanced duration.
"I won't let you die in vain, Koha."
Shataga muttered to himself in his heart.
He would not feel sad or blame himself for Koha's death at all, but simply thought that Koha's death would at least increase the weight of his punches.
After Moyu solved Koha, he had to decide on the next target.
Is it Shataga who is warming up and accumulating power, or Paknoda, who currently has a single fighting style?
While Moyu was thinking secretly, a wave of telekinesis suddenly appeared on the ring behind him.
He was the first to sense this wave of telekinesis, and so was Paknota, who was shaken.
Moyu did not turn back to check the situation on the ring, but Paknota faced the ring and looked over.
But he saw Kuroro appear out of thin air in a semi-transparent telekinesis curtain.
Seeing Kuroro come out of the telekinesis space without any signs, the fear that Moyu had provoked in Paknota's heart disappeared instantly, replaced by an indescribable surprise.
She thought Kuroro and the others had died in the telekinesis space...
"Ku..."
"Bang!"
But before Paknota could shout Kuroro's name, there was a sudden and violent explosion on the ring.
Kuroro, who had just come out of the telekinesis space, was blown away.
When he flew out, he was still carrying a wisp of black tail smoke.
The surprise on Paknoda's face suddenly solidified, and her open mouth seemed to be fixed by glue, just frozen like that.
Moyu showed a hint of amusement on his face, and still did not look back.
Surprised or not?
Hisoka in the distance also noticed Kuroro being blown away, and seemed to have thought of something. Under the condition that allowed, he could not help but fall into deep thought.
Food stall.
Kate saw this scene through the live broadcast, and seemed to understand what the master had just said.
