Chapter 49 The Death of Pariston! (6k votes requested)
Very tall.
This is Chiduo's first impression of Ji Xing.
At 165cm tall, she is like a child in front of Ji Xing. Even to shake hands with the other party, she has to bend down slightly. Her height is more than two meters, it should be close to or even more than two meters, right?
At the same time, he was very polite. He was willing to bend down slightly when facing the lady he met for the first time, taking into account the height difference between them. The aura on his body also made people feel very comfortable. He had a powerful aura that people could not ignore, but it was also controllable.
Very gentle.
Surprisingly, he seems to be easy to get along with.
In just a few seconds of shaking hands, she made a lot of judgments in her mind, and then the cute girl with green hair and dog ears stretched out her hand and said gently: "Shall we go up together?"
"Okay." Ji Xing nodded and smiled.
Greeting the association staff, the two of them boarded the elevator together. Chido said again: "Do you know why President Netero called a meeting of all members of the twelve branches this time? Ji Xing."
"Well, I called him before I came over." Ji Xing said: "The Hunter Association needs assistance in both the chimera ants and the assassination of the king."
"Yes, I have been at the United Nations in Bergloose during this period." Chiduo responded lightly: "The sudden death of the king of a country has a great impact on all aspects. There is chaos everywhere, it may be so
It will only get better if the eldest princess officially takes the throne. The murderer who attacked and killed the king has not yet been figured out. As for the chimera ants, I just learned about it."
As she said that, she smiled and shook her head: "If the two things hadn't happened to happen together, President Nitro would probably have concealed this matter for a long time. He probably hoped to hunt it by himself."
"Yeah." Ji Xing said with a smile: "Although he is not young, the president is still very aggressive. He has been pestering me for quite a while. It seems that he will not give up if I don't fight with him.
."
Chido smiled: "Is there such a thing? It is indeed something that President Netero can do. If you have time, you should accompany him."
"It's not that I don't meet his needs, but after fighting with me, he is likely to die." Ji Xing said: "I am not willing to let him live for a few more years with regrets, or to fulfill his wishes and die directly. To be honest, I am not willing to let him live for a few more years with regrets.
Dilemma question."
Chiduo was startled and blinked. The next moment, the two decorated dog ears on her head twitched suddenly, and she quickly turned her head to look at Ji Xing's face, as if she couldn't believe what she just heard.
Ji Xing nodded to her in confirmation.
In an instant, Chiduo was in a state of extreme confusion. As a three-star hunter for difficult and complicated diseases, she had profound attainments in both medicine and law, and had even promoted the advancement of medicine in the world.
She is smart, rational, and calm, but from the fact that she changed her appearance based on the title of 'dog' awarded to her by Netero, it can be seen that she greatly admires and understands Netero, the president.
The man in front of me is not talking nonsense. He may really have the ability to kill President Netero, and President Netero is really looking forward to an 'enjoyable' battle, even if he will die, but...
Just at this moment, the elevator stopped at the 77th floor. After opening the door, Doumianren was waiting outside. Chiduo also needed to organize his thoughts, so he temporarily took back his words, and Ji Xing and Ji Xing said hello to Doumianren one after another.
Take to the conference room.
In the conference room, there were ten people present in front of the huge long table. Seeing the two people arriving, their eyes turned towards Ji Xing one after another, most of them hovering over Ji Xing.
The girl wearing rabbit ears, Maotu Piyon, lay on the table as if she was bored and said: "Chido, you are almost late. It's your first time to come so late."
"I've been really busy lately." Chiduo gave everyone an apologetic smile and stepped aside, leaving space for Ji Xing.
"Young, Ji Xing." Jin then stretched out his hand to greet Ji Xing: "Except for me, this is probably the first time for everyone to see you. Can you please introduce yourself?"
Ji Xing nodded to him and said to everyone, "Hello everyone, I am human, Ji Xing."
Uh, it's really weird. With this title, you are a human being, so are we not human beings?
Similar thoughts flashed through most people's minds, but no one was too entangled. After all, this matter has been going on for more than a year, and we finally met the 13th person among the twelve teams, the long-famous chief lord of the Sky Arena.
, everyone is more curious about Ji Xing than trivial things like his title.
Some of them have seen Ji Xing's appearance from the Sky Arena broadcast. Compared with the high-spirited and domineering appearance, the Ji Xing in front of them is relatively restrained, which gives people a good impression.
"He's a arrogant guy." Toratora Kansai commented.
"Yin, I guess you want to use 'well-dressed', but that's not a suitable adjective either." Chiduo, who had just arrived at her seat, corrected: "It's almost the same as 'well-dressed'."
So Ji Xing politely greeted everyone, nodded, and went to his seat.
Except for the one chair at the top that was left alone, there were six seats in each of the two rows of the long table. On one side were cows and horses, and on the other were sheep and pigs. Next to Haizhujin, the empty seat at the end was for
The new 'man' Ji Xing.
On the way to his seat, some people from the twelve branches also politely introduced themselves to Ji Xing. At the same time, Ji Xing also had a preliminary impression of them. They were all really different.
The Ox is upright, the Tiger is impetuous, and the Rabbit is playful.
Chenlong is the strongest person other than gold, comparable to the ancestors who beat up the enemy Hakka. He can be regarded as a person with powerful telekinesis who has barely entered the first echelon. His qualifications are obviously the oldest, while Snake is relatively indifferent.
The Horse is thoughtful, the Sheep is carefree, the Rooster is a bit arrogant, and the Dog is smart and intellectual.
There is no need to mention gold. As for monkeys...
Sitting down, Ji Xing looked at Shen Hou, who looked slightly cunning, and said, "Mr. Journey to the West, have we met before?"
Xiyou slightly tilted his face: "Ah? No, when have we met?"
"In Youkexin City, the night I destroyed the Phantom Troupe, there were many strong men watching the battle in the dark, and you should be one of them." Ji Xing said to him: "My circle captured you."
This guy... doesn't need to see with his eyes, he can tell his identity directly by using circles?! Xiyou's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and the others looked sideways at the two of them.
After pausing for two seconds, Xiyou curled his lips and said: "Isn't that a matter of course? You made such a big noise on the association's internal network before destroying the Phantom Troupe. I happened to be near Youkexin City, so I naturally went over to take a look.
Here you go."
Ji Xing smiled: "Then why don't you just say hello? I always thought that a master like you was from the V5 Special Agent Section, and he was there to collect information on my telekinesis."
Xiyou hesitated for a moment and showed displeasure: "What do you mean by saying this?! Why, I have to take the initiative to greet you after watching you fight?!"
"No, I don't mean that." Ji Xing shook his head: "As members of the 12th branch of the Hunter Association, Mr. Journey to the West will naturally not be a spy for other forces."
Xiyou frowned and said nothing.
The atmosphere between these two people was a bit weird. Ji Xing's inquiry was not friendly, but Xiyou's reaction seemed more...guilty? Such judgment flashed through Qiduo and others, and Jin smelled something different and turned his head to look.
I glanced at Ji Xing and realized something wasn't right.
It's not him, he's something else. Ji Xing said to himself and turned his attention to the door.
"Oh, everyone is here?" A voice that sounded a little uncomfortable came from there. Paris, with a bright smile, waved to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm obviously the host of the meeting, but I'm still
The last one to arrive, did you all have a good chat?"
His eyes circled around and soon landed on Jin and Ji Xing. His smile became even brighter and he said, "Mr. Jin, it's been a long time no see. And this is Mr. Ji Xing. First time meeting. I'm Paris Stone."
, please take good care of me in the future.”
This man obviously had a bright smile and a handsome appearance, but since he walked into the conference room, the temperature in the conference room seemed to have dropped by two degrees, and most of the people in the twelve branches showed disgusted expressions.
"You are still so disgusting, Pariston! Disappear now!" Maotu complained.
Yin Hu also complained: "I really don't know why the president would let someone like you preside over the meeting?"
Ugly Cow: "Since you know you are late, sit down and get to the point as soon as possible."
Pariston sat down with a smile and said: "Who asked me to be the vice president? The president is not here, so I can only preside over it. In fact, the content of the meeting is very simple. v5 allows us to fully assist with two things, and we have
There are 13 people, excluding the fact that I manage the association and control the overall situation, there are exactly six people on each side.
The chimera ants need strong warriors, so let Mr. Jin, Mr. Potatoby, and Mr. Ji Xing and others assist the president. As for the assassination of the king, we need Miss Chiduo..."
"Sorry, let me interrupt."
Ji Xing suddenly stood up and spoke. The disdainful glances directed at Pariston quickly turned into confusion, focusing on Ji Xing's face.
There is nothing wrong with the arrangement just now. Is there anything that the newcomer needs to interrupt?
Pariston smiled and stretched out his hand: "It's okay, Mr. Ji Xing, do you have any suggestions?"
"Does the assassination of the third prince of the United Nations in Berglose have anything to do with you? Vice President." Ji Xingyan asked concisely and concisely.
Everyone in the twelve branches was stunned, and then their hearts were shocked. What did he ask?!
"Hey, the assassination of the third prince..."
"It has something to do with that bastard Pariston?!"
Several thoughtful and solemn glances fell on Pariston's face, and his bright smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a somewhat surprised expression: "This... the assassination of the third prince? If it's related, is this part of the content of our assistance in the investigation?"
Ji Xing said humbly: "So Misu Jimora's mercenary team is yours?"
"...Mr. Ji Xing, we have never met before, right? I can't bear such responsibility." Pariston shook his head and said.
"We have never met before, but the assassination of the third prince that you led was directed at me. If I didn't identify the murderer, Ajun's request for help would get me into trouble. Is this your purpose?"
"Mr. Ji Xing..."
"You serve another force, and getting me into trouble is because of someone else's arrangement?"
Pariston stopped talking and looked at the other twelve branches with an incomprehensible expression. "Don't you care? Will the meeting continue?"
"Man, do you have any evidence for this?" Potter, the most senior, said seriously.
"Although this guy is very annoying, but he is not stupid enough to do such a thing as assassinating the third prince of Bergrose, right?" Maotu also said in surprise.
Chiduo lightly shook his head to signal her to observe first.
Jin's expression became more solemn. Sure enough, his previous feeling was correct. Today's Ji Xing... is very aggressive!
At this time, Chou Niu Mi Cai Yin Shidom said: "18 people, this is the number of people who have disappeared from the association since Pariston became the vice president of the association. It is ten times more than before. To be honest, I have doubts about you.
It’s been a long time, Pariston!”
"What? This guy can't really be a spy, right? No wonder he's so disgusting!" Tora Tora Kansai stood up directly and stepped on the chair.
Everyone else is thinking or wondering too.
"Everyone?" Pariston spread his hands innocently: "This is a meeting to discuss the assassination of the king and the chimera ant incident. How did it turn into a crusade against me?"
At the same time, he felt excited and heavy at the same time. So it turned out that he had been seen through!
What kind of method is this? No wonder Misu is targeted. The truth can be found just through the subtle emotional fluctuations when asking questions?
It's a bit troublesome. I'm trying to hide this subconscious fluctuation. Can I do it? How can it be so dangerous to face this guy face to face?!
The analysis of micro-expressions and movements is a skill that Ji Xing has mastered as early as in the world of Ke Xue. The method of catching prisoners at that time made Conan cry cheating. Subsequently, Ji Xing became more powerful and could even achieve similar results through the heartbeat frequency and even the human body's magnetic field.
The effect of reading minds, but he rarely uses it.
Knows everything, is boring and rude.
The moment Pariston walked into the conference room, Ji Xing understood everything. After a brief silence, he did not ask questions, but narrated.
"It's more about personal will."
"The idea of getting me into trouble is related to the chimera ant incident. You know the origin of the chimera ant incident."
"Not sure, but I have suspicions."
"The force behind you is one of v5."
"Isn't it?" Ji Xing paused, thinking of Kurapika and Fiery Eyes: "The Kajin Empire."
"Hey, what are you doing?" When most of the Twelve were listening quietly, Shen Monkey Journey to the West couldn't help but said: "Is this a one-man show?!"
"Shen, please be quiet first." Chiduo stood up and said: "It seems that we have to solve the internal problems of the twelve branches first. Man, do you have any evidence for your words? Zi, do you have anything to explain?"
Pariston shook his head helplessly: "I still don't know what happened. Where do I start to explain?"
Whoever claims it gives evidence.
Although judging from the past popularity, the situation is already a little bad, but there is no evidence. It is just right, and it is almost time to withdraw from the twelve branches, so come and give it a try and crucify me!
"Hey, newcomer, give us the evidence quickly!" Toratora Kansai said impatiently.
At this time, half of the people at the table were already standing, and tensions were rising. There was no atmosphere for a meeting. Chief Wu Masa couldn't help but murmured: "This is really... a big event."
Facing everyone's attention, Ji Xing sorted out the information he had found and said: "You serve an organization in the Cajun Empire that is not a royal family. This organization is related to the chimera ant incident, but you don't know the specific details and purpose.
, just informed.
It's not that you, as the vice-president of the Hunter Association, don't have enough status and strength, but that you don't care much about those things. You don't really obey that force, you just cooperate out of interest.
Including arranging for the assassination of the third prince, he also caused trouble for me out of his own will. He only had the idea of holding me back, and even just explained it to the organization.
The exposure of Misu Jimora was beyond your expectations. It was not a pure coincidence that she led people to escape into the NGL Autonomous Country and encountered chimera ants, but it was your arrangement to silence her, oh, not completely.
The reason why you do these things is probably due to some kind of flaw in your character and personality?"
Horrible, terrible...all right!
At this moment, Pariston understood a little bit why President Nitro warned him not to pursue this man's ideas, but people have different ways of doing things. Is it a flaw to like the feeling of being hated?
Moreover, there is still no evidence!
Telling a story in vain, even if it is based on the premise that people don't like me, will only make people suspicious and even think you are unreliable.
You have no way to interrogate me, and proposing punishment will only put you in a more disadvantageous situation.
Faced with these doubts, will you feel hatred and disgust towards me?
Pariston faced Ji Xing's identification with hidden expectation, and suddenly heard Ji Xing say, "Why did President Netero let you be the vice president?"
"Of course you appreciate my way of doing things and my ability." Pariston said with a smile.
Ji Xing looked at Jin. Jin, who was frowning and thinking, was silent and said: "With the personality of the president, he probably wants the most difficult opponent to deal with."
"Oh, that makes sense." Ji Xing couldn't help but smile and said, "He won."
Did he win? Who won?
President Netero won?
Except for the brainless Kansai, everyone felt like their CPU was being burned, and in the next moment, three people reacted.
The first one was Jin. He understood what Ji Xing was going to do and shouted at the same time: "No!"
But it was just shouting and no action.
So the long table, which was slapped hard by Ji Xing and engulfed in thoughts, was like a heavy-duty truck, flying away the twelve sticks that were closer to the table, and ran straight into Pariston!
In an instant, splintered wood chips flew everywhere, Pariston vomited blood and shot backwards, crashing through the wall and into the corridor, causing his internal organs to shift!
"I……"
"he……?!"
In the chaos, most of the twelve branches were stunned, and a second shout sounded: "Stop him!"
This came from Chiduo, and she was also the second person to react. Thanks to what Ji Xing said in the elevator before, she understood where the president's "win" lies!
If Pariston really did those things, then if anyone in the Hunter Association knows about it, it can only be President Nitro.
Then President Netero's order to force the twelve tribes to participate in this gathering may have another purpose - to let Pariston face Ji Xing head-on!
The two may have already said hello to each other. President Nitro guessed what Ji Xing would do. According to Article 4 of the Hunter Ten Rules, hunters in the association are strictly prohibited from killing each other. If Ji Xing kills Pariston,
, Chairman Netero will be able to crusade Ji Xing as the president of course!
Getting rid of Pariston, the traitor in the association, is just a way to get rid of Pariston. The president has countless opportunities to deal with Pariston. Being able to fight Ji Xing in a logical way is probably Chairman Netero's goal!
During the decades when this old hunter served as the president, he controlled the association firmly with only his strength and charm, making everyone almost forget that he was an out-and-out three-star 'hunter'.
Ji Xing lamented the reason why he won!
If Chairman Netero wins, will Ji Xing lose? Not necessarily. After successfully getting rid of Pariston, although he was not tolerated by the association, as long as Chairman Netero gives the order with authority, Ji Xing will clean up after the war.
The rebellion came from his order, so Ji Xing would not suffer any loss.
The only one who lost was Pariston. There was still a gap between him and Chairman Netero and Ji Xing!
As for why she wants to stop Ji Xing from killing Pariston? According to the conversation in the elevator, Chiduo is worried that President Netero’s words to clear Ji Xing’s guilt will be his last words!
Others did not have such complicated thinking, but they also subconsciously intercepted Ji Xing, but they realized the value of the master of the Sky Arena.
While Jin frowned and did not move, even Potter Bai was slapped away by Ji Xing, barely slowing down his speed of rushing into the corridor!
And Pariston, who was sitting paralyzed under the broken wall with blood stains on the corners of his mouth and stiff for a moment, was the third person who figured everything out.
It turns out that it was you, the president, who took action against me. Has the assassination of the third prince crossed your line?
But why are you so sure that Ji Xing would go to such an extent to kill me? Is he a madman? Kill me in front of all twelve members?!
As my mind turned, a hint of surprise arose in addition to shock, King?
Could it be that this guy killed the king?! I have such great stamina to assassinate the third prince?!
With a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his right hand towards Ji Xing, who was rushing towards him. A dark and powerful thought energy emerged from it and enveloped Ji Xing!
As the vice-president of the association, he is naturally also a powerful telepathic user. Although not as good as Potter, he is stronger than the others in the Twelve Branches!
And his telekinesis ability is called "Reason for Hate".
Character system!
It can detonate other people's hatred towards oneself and make the opponent lose their mind. It can also transfer the opponent's hatred towards oneself to other people or things. At this moment, he is using the latter.
Since you dare to take action in this situation, let's face all the members of the twelve branches and see.
Reason for hatred, turn to Potter White!
Peng – Katcha!
The next moment, a heavy muffled sound caused the bones to break. Paristong's outstretched right hand to Ji Xing was broken by a punch. The bones tore the skin and flesh, and his backhand was inserted into... his heart!
The smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly stiffened!
Didn't take effect at all? No, no, he doesn't have any hatred towards me?!
Why?! Sooner or later, the matter of killing the king will be exposed, and such a big trouble will be caused by me! Why don't you hate me, why don't you hate me?!
Blood flowed from his mouth like a waterfall, and he hissed. The moment he breathed his last, Pariston got an answer that he would never die in peace.
It turns out that I was not taken seriously by him.
