In the original work, Kurapika developed an ability called "Absolute Time" in order to fully utilize the strength of the "Contract Chain".
This ability allows Kurapika to break through the limitations of the telekinesis attribute while in the state of flaming red eyes, and fully exert the effect of any telekinesis ability.
But the price of "absolute time" is that every time Kurapika uses his ability for one second, he will lose one hour of life.
This is a pure Kryptonian ability.
From Kurapika's perspective, he really needs this ability.
Otherwise, as a person of the materialization system, let alone one person against the entire Phantom Troupe, due to the gap in telepathy attributes, he may not even be able to overcome the barrier of the Phantom Troupe's enhanced telepathy ability.
Therefore, Kurapika had no choice.
He can only gamble his life.
But after Moyu intervened, there was no need to kill him.
Giving up Hisoka and Kubi's heads to Kurapika was just a casual joke made by Moyu.
He wanted Kurapika to understand something.
That means you don't have to deal with the Phantom Troupe alone, and more importantly than punishing the Phantom Troupe, there is a more important matter of finding the eyes of your tribe.
But all joking aside, Moyu's attitude has not changed when it comes to dealing with the Phantom Troupe.
Phantom Troupe——
He's done eating it!
"Moyu, what is the approximate strength of the Phantom Troupe?"
Kurapika, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked the question he was most concerned about.
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 his knowledge of strength, he had only come into contact with Hisoka.
"You asked this suddenly, and I really didn't know how to answer it."
Moyu groaned, but suddenly thought of Hisoka.
If Hisoka is used as a combat unit, Kurapika should be able to easily 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 Hisokas among the members of the Phantom Troupe. If you add them all together, it would be equivalent to about ten Hisokas."
"..."
Kurapika was a little stunned when he heard what Moyu said, but images of ten Hisokas with perverted smiles naturally appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Ten Hisokas standing together...
Just imagining it will indeed give rise to a sense of powerlessness.
Because in the world of telekinesis battles, multiple telekinesis users can always exert a combat power effect exceeding 1+1.
so--
I really need the opportunity to fight alone!
Moyo looked at Kurapika's slightly chilly expression and wondered if it was because of his words that he thought of some strange scene, right?
Kurapika shook his head, driving Hisoka out of his mind, and then looked at Moyu.
"How many people are there in the Phantom Troupe?"
"Well……"
Moyu didn't expect Kurapika to ask this question. He raised his eyebrows, raised his finger to point to his chin, and answered without much thought: "About three or four."
"Three or four..."
Kurapika was a little lost.
Moyu raised his index finger towards Kurapika and said with a smile: "If we fight one on one, I will win."
After saying that, he raised his second index finger. Under Kurapika's surprised gaze, he continued to smile and said: "One against two, I will win."
Then he raised his third finger: "It's hard to say if it's one-on-three, but I definitely won't lose, but if it's three Hisokas, I can basically win."
Moyu's statement immediately made Kurapika even more curious, and he took the initiative to ask: "What about a pair of four?"
"Can't win."
Moyu took back his hand and only said that he could not win, but did not say that he would definitely lose.
One-on-one combat and fighting a large number with a small number are actually different concepts. At the same time, we should never underestimate the combat power that people with multiple telekinesis abilities can exert.
If it was one-on-one, Chrollo wouldn't be of much use.
Moyo, who holds many trump cards, has absolute confidence to defeat Chrollo.
But if you fight more with less, Chrollo's ability and characteristics will become an unpreventable variable.
Moyo is not arrogant enough to think that he can defeat the Phantom Troupe just because he holds trump cards such as "Nitro Mask".
No one stays still.
He will become stronger, and so will the people of the Phantom Troupe.
Furthermore, the Face of the Transformer that has been imprinted with Nitro has a shortcoming that we have to face squarely, that is, the accuracy and intensity of the telekinesis ability that is imprinted on it will be affected by the "telepathy attribute".
And if worn for more than eight seconds, there is a risk of being swallowed.
The time limit is a small problem. Baishi Guanyin's main focus is "fast", which can perfectly squeeze out the value within eight seconds.
This is also the fundamental reason why Moyu has to expand into Indonesia.
On the contrary, it is the ability and accuracy——
Although the ability of Bai Shi Guanyin seems to have a variety of telekinesis attributes, Nitro, who developed this ability, is of the strengthening type.
And Moyu is a trait type. Before he developed the ability of "Flowers in the Mirror, Water and Moon", he always hated fighting against enhancement types.
The reason for this is that when playing against the reinforcement system, he is limited by the conversion of attack and defense power of the telepathy attribute. He needs to devote more telekinesis when attacking in order to cause damage to the reinforcement system.
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 mind 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 asked 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 alone.
certainly.
This statement he made was aimed at "fighting in the arena".
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, it would be extremely difficult for him to destroy the Phantom Troupe in one fell swoop with his own strength, and it would carry fatal risks.
but……
Risk versus return!
If he really dares to take huge risks and successfully destroys the entire Phantom Troupe, then he will definitely get an unimaginable reward 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 now, you should just concentrate on improving your telekinesis abilities."
Moyu promptly stopped Kurapika's speculation about the combat power of others.
The main reason for taking the initiative to talk to Kurapika this time is 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 would fight against the prisoners in 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 that there was not enough time.
If his physical condition permits, he may give up sleeping time.
Moyo saw Kurapika working so hard, and he vaguely saw his own shadow in Kurapika.
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 picture 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 nester.
"Baby Rat, go home and see Hawke sometime."
Moyou curled his lips and stretched out his hand to caress the blue bead necklace around his neck.
"Jiji!"
The azure bead flickered, and the rat baby's cheerful cry came from it.
time flies--
Twenty-six days after coming to the Trap Tower.
After completing the task of teaching newcomers, Menqi 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 whole story 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 time 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, but 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 information about this hacker hunter, Hisoka also provided information about 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 Moyo after gradually providing information.
Moyu casually replied "Plan B", and then started the "read it without reply" approach, ignoring the several messages Hisoka sent in succession 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 telekinesis to a telekinesis user who could 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 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 disciple, my impression was that I would be given a bonus of "Absolute +1".
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, he felt that 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 spaceship, Kurapika suddenly made a request to 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 spaceship.
"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 Moyo, 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 and regard it as 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 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.
