Chapter 19 The Phantom Troupe and the Big Shots (please vote for me)
"Marge, what's wrong with that dessert shop just now? You're not the type to say, 'The desserts here look delicious.'"
Walking to the outskirts of Youkexin City, a desolate area, Nobunaga dressed as a Japanese samurai asked.
"I've confirmed that no one is following us," the little Feitan added.
"It's nothing, I just met a troublesome man by chance. I didn't expect that he would also come to Youkexin City." Ma Qi said: "The owner of the 245th floor of the Sky Arena, Split Kick Fist Ji Xing, almost died in the death duel with Hisoka.
Killed Hisoka unscathed."
"What? That guy Hisoka is dead?! Why didn't you tell me this earlier, Madge!"
"It was resurrected in a special way." Ma Qi said: "I only told the leader of the specific situation. This matter involves the specialness of Sisu Nian's ability. If you want to know, just ask yourself."
"...Can it still be resurrected?!"
"Okay, okay, I'll ask myself." Faced with Madge's gaze, Nobunaga shook his head and said, "It's really not easy to kill, or at least defeat, Hisoka. The flexible love of Hisoka is still
It’s a bit difficult to deal with.”
"Are you sure it was a chance encounter?" Feitan confirmed.
"Well, I've seen the kid sitting opposite him in the Sky Arena. We probably just made an appointment to attend the auction." Madge said, "But I'm not sure he won't be hostile after getting to know us."
"Of course, we are the Phantom Troupe." Franklin chuckled: "People who claim to be righteous would really like to trade us for fame and bounty."
"Besides, we don't know what the captain is planning to take us to 'steal' this time. We might just happen to encounter him." Feitan said coldly: "If you dare to interfere with our affairs, just kill him."
"I agree." Nobunaga shrugged and said, "This is a gathering after three years and two months. No matter who is the owner of the Sky Arena or who has defeated Hisoka, just kill him if he gets in the way."
"I knew it would be like this." Ma Qi said in a cold voice: "But every time I see him, I have a bad intuition. In fact, I am hesitating whether you should keep this matter a secret. After thinking about it, I might as well forget it.
At least take some precautions and listen to the leader's opinion."
Bad intuition? In the Phantom Troupe, Madge's intuition is always unexpectedly accurate. The other three people looked at him slightly. As for the secret, they instantly understood the reason and thought of one person.
"Hahahaha, there is such a guy in Youkexin City? I really want to fight him!"
Soon, in the abandoned building, the gathering place, Wo Jin, who was extremely strong and disheveled, laughed excitedly: "Captain! Please tell me what the operation is this time. Can you arrange it without hindering the operation?"
I met that guy!”
The four of them looked at each other, no one was surprised.
More members who had arrived turned their attention to Hisoka with playful expressions.
Facing Wojin's inquiry, Chrollo also looked over and asked, "What's your opinion, Hisoka?"
Hisoka played poker as if it had nothing to do with him. Hearing this, he slightly curled his lips, raised his head and said, "Is my opinion important? Captain."
"Of course, you are a member of the brigade."
"Then I suggest you retreat." Hisoka said: "At least when there are less than four people encountering each other, retreat. Never consider one-on-one. It is a very, very stupid behavior to risk death."
"What?! Are you scared out of your wits? You coward!" Wo Jin said dissatisfied.
Hisoka spread his hands, as if to say, look, I'll just say that my opinion is meaningless.
Chrollo thought for two seconds and said: "Then do what Hisoka said and don't conflict with the other party when there are less than four people traveling together."
"Captain...?!"
Chrollo stretched out his hand and said: "This is the commander's order. Anyone who blocks the actions of the brigade will die, no matter who the opponent is, but when it is confirmed that the opponent is a master, do not take unnecessary risks."
He looked at Wo Jin, who was holding back his mouth, and the other group members who were slightly unhappy, and said with a smile: "After all, our mission this time is very important. We must avoid unnecessary complications. The goal... is to collect all the treasures from this underground auction.
, take them all away!”
"..."
"Really?! Captain!"
The atmosphere suddenly became different. Playing with a four of spades, Hisoka's eyes also showed a hint of expectation.
'I didn't expect to meet you again in Youkexin City so soon, Ji Xing, but it's not enough. I haven't fully grasped the changes that enhanced thoughts after death will have on me. It's not time to fight you again.'
'But... this time, I should be able to see your full strength. Don't die in the hands of these guys. That will disappoint me. If you can kill a few, help me create and Chrollo
The opportunity to fight is the most wonderful thing?~'
…
The other side.
Once again, Xiaojie was spanked to understand the difference. Ji Xing was leaning on the sofa in the hotel suite, replaying the plot.
What he is doing now is actually the same as Aizen deducing what would happen without Ji Xing after knowing that Ji Xing 'knows' it in the Bleach world.
If Aizen can do it, he can do it too.
And he has more experience chasing comics.
Now it is basically certain that the main plot of this story is that the two children bought the Is game, but judging from Killua’s situation of losing money to Gon, it is better to beg than to make money. Without him, it would be impossible for them to get enough money to buy the game.
So how do you buy the game? And at the same time, let the protagonist get training and growth?
There is an old and well-known routine.
This is an auction!
If something doesn't happen at the auction, if you don't get robbed, it's almost soulless. And after being robbed, it's natural for the protagonist to get something he wants but can't afford to auction at zero cost.
Is this the same routine for full-time hunters?
The four people I saw in the dessert shop were of too high a level, they were not simple telekinesis users, and that girl was related to Hisoka...
As for Killua's subplot of wanting to go home, it should be that I help him get rid of the butterfly effect of his elder brother's needle. It would probably happen later, so whether it's important or not, it can be put aside for now.
After roughly grasping the context, Ji Xing asked himself again: What should I do?
Is there a robber catching a robber? Try to buy a batch of treasures for zero dollars with Gon Killua?
No need, I have money.
If the treasure here is that game, there is no problem for Ji Xing to turn around and leave now to continue his training journey. He can wait until Killua gets it and then wait for it. There is no need to stay here as a nanny for the two children.
But maybe there are other rewards and treasures.
Ji Xing raised his hand and looked at the Seven Star Pearl.
Starlight (five stars): 6%
After leaving the Sky Arena and becoming one of the twelve teams, it has grown a bit. In this world with a population of tens of billions, it would be a pity not to achieve five stars.
Then take advantage of the excitement and show off, the strong have their own way of doing things!
Let everyone get to know themselves.
…
On the other side, Kurapika, who had just escorted the eldest lady to the Nosla family's hotel, and was serving as a bodyguard, was diligently checking the details.
He is a serious person. Although his purpose is to use Miss Nyon to regain the flaming eye, if something happens to his employer while he is working as a bodyguard, no matter what kind of person the employer is, he will not forgive his fault.
In the workroom, the bodyguard captain, Dazuo Nie with thorny bangs, hurriedly came over and said with a serious face: "Kurapika, I remember you are a professional hunter with a hunter's license, right?"
Kurapika was startled and nodded: "Ah."
"Then follow me." Da Zuo Ni led the puzzled Kurapika to a computer: "Use your hunter license to log in to the exclusive hunter website."
It was a website that only professional hunters could enter with a license, and could purchase various information that was only circulated among hunters. Kurapika had only entered it once before, and he followed it with a frown.
I soon found out why.
Because there is an eye-catching intelligence purchase message posted on the home page, and the content is clear.
"I am Ji Xing, a member of the 12th branch of the Hunter Association. I am currently in Youkexin City, preparing to participate in the world's largest auction organized by the gang. Can anyone provide me with specific information about the auction and the auction items?
An unlimited number of thanks will be given depending on the level of detail of the information!”
How is this asking for information?!
Kurapika looked up in astonishment, and Tatsunoi nodded to him: "The Twelve Branches are the highest-level cadres of the Hunter Association under the president, right? Do you know this person? Kurapika, what does he want to do?"
"No... I know very little about this aspect." Kurapika shook his head: "But the senior leaders of the Hunter Association should not be harmful to the eldest lady, right?"
No, I'm in a gang now!
After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and stared at the piece of information and fell into deep thought.
The Youkexin Auction is an annual event jointly organized by the ten old men who manage the top ten gangs in each region. The amount involved generally exceeds 10 trillion ringgits, and many items in the gang auctions are shady and have shady origins.
Because there are many famous and wealthy people participating in the auction, V5 maintains acquiescence in this, and the Hunter Association will not have any objections, but gangsters are gangsters after all, and it is inherently awkward with the light side.
The top twelve branches of the Hunter Association, if you want to come, come quietly. This is a big way to tell everyone about your position and your thoughts. Even a novice will not make such a mistake.
Kurapika stared at the screen repeatedly, and gradually read another line of words between the lines.
'I am a big shot and I am here to attend the auction. Old Man Ten, please send someone to receive me immediately!'
