89. Disaster and Hope

"I didn't expect him to be ten old men!"

The next day, on the roof of a high-rise building near the hospital where Hao lived, all the other members were here except for the three of Kurolo.

The knight at the head sighed.

He never thought that the man in the suit who had taken the hunter exam with him and Finks was one of the ten emperors of the underground world, but he guessed that Hao's identity was not simple. After all, when you have already awakened your mind, you still come to take the hunter exam just to get a license, and there must be a force or organization behind it.

No matter how bad it is, it has its own team...

"The ten old men are all ordinary people, only this guy is a telepathetic person..."

Maggie on the side asked.

"Based on what we've gathered, it's supposed to be... For a figure of the status of the Ten Old Men, it is not necessary to become a telepath, it is too troublesome, and with their power, they can easily hire a large number of people like us to serve them... Power is what they value more. The knight nodded and smiled.

Immediately, his expression was serious, "However, this hazy is not an ordinary master... Very strong! ”

"Judging by the fact that Finks fought him and then was killed, it was probably only a minute or two before and after, and the battle ended quickly... It's not about crushing, it's pretty much it. ”

Maggie raised an eyebrow.

Actually, there is no need for knights to say, the members of the group also understand it in their hearts.

This hazy, too young... He is about the same age as them, and judging from the information at hand, he has climbed to the seat of the ten old men completely by himself, and he is still the owner of the Sky Arena.

That's why they were so cautious in their actions.

The prey is not ordinary.

"Someone's coming!"

Standing on the edge of the rooftop with a telescope in his hand, Pack Notan said in a deep voice.

In the field of vision, a black stretch car drove into the hospital and stopped at the entrance of the building where Hao lived. In this hospital, there are several inpatient departments, and Hao alone occupies a building, and there are no other patients except him.

The entire building is full of mafia bodyguards inside and out, and the entry and exit are strictly censored, as well as the Fils family's telepathic squad, nearly twenty people. Not only that, but members of the Hunters' Guild often appear, and they all have a strong aura... This made the brigade dare not act rashly.

They only inquired that the ten old men seemed to be injured, quite serious, and were being treated here.

In the binoculars, a person stepped out of the black stretch car.

Pak Notan's pupils shrank, and he immediately lowered the binoculars, retracted his gaze, and turned around.

"What's wrong?"

Ogin and Nobunaga noticed her expression and looked over.

"It's the president of the association, the old man."

Pak Notan said lightly.

Isaac Nitro!

"Not only does he have a pivotal position in the gang, but it seems that in the Hunters' Association, Hao also has a certain identity... The Hunters Association is just a platform organization, not a complete group, and its members are all based on their own interests and actions. ”

The knight touched his chin, "Hao is just a newcomer... I just joined, why did I get such attention? Even a big man like Nitro appeared in person..."

"Could it be that you've discovered us, or sensed our intentions to protect that guy?"

Nobunaga grabbed a handful of his long shawl hair and said suspiciously.

On the side, Pak Notan had already called the regiment commander Kurolo to exchange the situation here.

"Impossible."

The knight grinned, stretched out a finger, and looked at Nobunaga, "The other party is the pinnacle character in today's hunter world... To put it bluntly, with his ability alone, he could easily kill us dozens of times, and besides this old man, there are other people in the association who can kill us without much effort... We are still alive and well, which means that we have not been exposed. ”

"Don't underestimate the Hunters' Guild... The fact that hunters can have such an influence in the current society is based on the creation and promotion of the Hunter Association, and the association can be said to be single-handedly set up by this old man... Compared to them, we are just a bunch of small shrimps. ”

The words of the chivalrous man made Nobunaga feel unhappy, but he had to admit it.

Wojin took a sip of thick phlegm.

If it weren't for Kurolo's orders and the rules of the regiment, he would have wanted to break into the hospital and kill the Finks in a while.

How strong is it...

It was the first time that their brigade had acted so fearfully, cautiously, and timidly.

"Well... I know. ”

Paike Notan put down his phone and looked at the regiment, "The regimental commander means, let's withdraw first." ”

After saying that, a group of people left one after another and stopped monitoring for the time being.

……

On the other side, Nitro arrived in the hospital room.

This is also the first time he has appeared after more than half a year since the accident.

"Ho ho ho ... Looks so energetic..."

As soon as he opened the door, the familiar laughter of the old man came into his ears, and Hao was sitting on the bed, holding an ancient book of literature and reading.

Raising his head, he saw Nitro stepping on a pair of clogs, wearing a fat practice uniform, brushing his beard, one eye closed, one eye open, and in a mocking tone, slightly naughty.

"I almost died by you..."

Hazy is calm.

"But what you want, you've got... Isn't it? ”

There are words in Nitro's words.

Motioned to Phils Lily on the side and said hello.

"When I see you now, I have a little headache... It's probably not a good thing that you're coming to see me...", he slowly put the book aside and sighed.

"How can you say that... I've come to see you! ”

Nitro smiled.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the conversation changed, "Okay... I just feel a little bored lately, and I want you to recover quickly. ”

"You don't lack me as a person to have fun, do you? There are so many people in the association... Especially a few of the twelve earthly branches, don't keep staring at me... After all this experience, I now have a little heart palpitation just by seeing you. ”

Tell me the truth.

Perennial Tao, people are old and demons.

Not to mention, a person like Nitro who has gone through strong winds and waves, has a colorful life, and has lived for more than a hundred years...

In the face of the old woman Bisiji, Hao Du was able to 'gain the upper hand', and even a little bit of a pinch of her, but with Nitro, Hao couldn't take advantage of it at all... This mission is a typical conspiracy.

Knowing that there was a 'trap', he had to jump.

Dealing with this old fox is not to be careless at all.

"You guys..."

Phil Lily left in amusement, called her men outside the door, and pushed herself out.

When the two of them were left in the room, Nitro regained a hint of his positive color, "Basic action is no problem..."

"Barely able to walk a few steps."

"Hmm... Do you have any ideas for the initial actions to restore your physical state first, and then your own 'qi'? ”

Nitro stared at Haze with a smirk.

He was deliberately asking questions to see what he understood about Nian.

"You mean, the external qi feeds back the flesh and blood..."

Haze replied.

"Hehe... Sure enough, it's smart. Nitro's eyes lit up and he complimented.

From the current situation, Hao's mentality is good, and he has not been hit, which is also expected by the old man.

In the process of cultivation, a person with the ability to read first senses the life energy of the self, that is, the 'essence', learns to control it, and attaches to the self-consciousness to make it become 'mindful qi'. Then through means of 'entanglement', to stabilize the mind qi around the body, to prevent the loss. Immediately afterwards, it is 'refining', which has the effect of stimulating and growing, and strengthening the mind... By exercising the body, polishing the mind, etc., you can enrich your thoughts... In the concept of hao, it is a process of increasing 'internal strength'.

And in the range of 'refining', how can we become more mindful of qi?

First of all, it is to strengthen flesh and bones, and make one's original vitality more vigorous.

Secondly, it is to absorb the external 'energy' and rob the qi of other 'life forms'...

But the host of this 'qi' must be very weak... Moreover, the 'qi' emitted must be very pure and not mixed with any distracting thoughts, otherwise there is no way to plunder.

It is equivalent to absorbing and transforming.

The reason why Hao knows is because in the Dark Continent chapter of the original book, Kurapika mentioned and described this from the side when he helped ordinary people quickly realize their mental abilities.

The best predatory environment is nature.

Plants... This unconscious life, the breath that emanates... Although it is very weak, it can be eaten with confidence.

This is also the secret that Hao wanted to enter the deep mountains to retreat and cultivate, and his qi was far beyond ordinary people.

"It may take a long time to fully recover and reach your previous level..."

Nitro said.

Hazy has already calculated.

Everything starts all over again, from the Moritonio circus, to joining the association... It took him nearly five years to grow, but his current state is even worse than when he was in the circus, although physically and mentally, he has adapted to 'Nian', and has the heart and experience as a reserve, which will speed up, at least... It will also take three years.

Hao doesn't want to wait...

If there is no other way, he will go to meditation.

But there's a better way, so why not?

"I've contacted the Enemy Killer family." Haze said.

"Oh..."

Nitro was not surprised.

"You got it?"

Haze smiled slightly.

"Hmm." Nitro bowed his head slightly.

Hazy gave the Enemy Killer family a price that they couldn't refuse!

But the things about Alujah are secret.

Though it was in the withered mountains, it was always imprisoned and sealed down... Because if there is no 'confinement', the consequences are unimaginable.

The mission of beating the enemy family is not so much guarding 'that thing'.

Hao wants to go to the Withered Mountain, and no matter what happens, it will be within the territory of the Enemy Clan, and he will bear the consequences... Therefore, there is no impact and harm to the outside world.

An astronomical reward, there is no reason to refuse to beat the enemy family.

Nitro came to see Hao this time, in fact, the real reason is also related to this.

Maybe from the perspective of the Enemy Killer family, Hao can know about this... Maybe it has something to do with Nitro.

"Where did you know that?"

The old man asked with interest.

He had no doubt that the Beater clan had blocked information on 'that thing'... And when it comes to the Dark Continent and the Five Great Disasters, it is also a secret at the highest level in V5, and few people will see it.

Even if Hao is a ten-year-old man, he will not touch that level.

"I won't tell you."

Hazy met the old man's eyes and showed a faint smile.

It was an uncomfortable feeling to be able to provoke Nitro's curiosity and not let him know the truth... Hazy has a thrill of revenge.

"Ugh."

The old man patted his head, sensed the little fox's thoughts, and looked right, "It can make you heal yourself... But with your kind of injury, it is estimated that it will be difficult to fully recover, and... You also have to accept the 'price', that power is dangerous... You probably can't take it. ”

"Let's do as I say..."

"No, I'm confident that I can achieve my goal without giving anything... 100% safety and success rate! ”

Hazy flatly refused.

"Huh?"

Nitro narrowed his eyes, Haze wasn't joking, not to mention... With his understanding of Hao, what this kid said was serious!

"The one who made the wish was not me... The people who beat the enemy family have now noticed the clues..."

Hazy said.

"How much do you really know about the Dark Continent?"

For the first time, Nitro couldn't see the depth of the haze.

Over the years, only a handful of people have been to the Dark Continent and returned... Judging from Hao's background and resume, unless he has direct contact with the top management of V5, he...

But this is not possible.

Rich martial arts skills, profound mental attainments, and a good understanding of some secrets.

Bisji had wondered before who Hao's master was...

This is not something that can be done by one person alone...

"The Five Disasters and the Five Hopes Corresponding to them... You know, I know. ”

Hazy's face became lazy, and he deliberately lengthened the end note, "Even, you don't know... I also know some..."

“……”

Nitro.

"What's wrong with you? The look is a little ugly... Is there something uncomfortable? Hao asked deliberately.

“……”

"Ahh Are you worried about me revealing it? Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut, what will happen if these things get out... I'm well aware. So, just to talk to you. He laughed.

"These secrets are only sealed to most people, and there should be anyone else in the association who knows about them besides me... You've already judged that I joined the association for you and Linne, so you've already guessed something..."

"Ho ho ho

Abruptly, Nitro, who had been straining his face, laughed again, although he was laughing, his eyes were extremely serious, "You little guy, you really can't let your guard down at all... Even the old man felt a little incomprehensible, terrifying..."

"But I'm going to watch you, or else... No one can guarantee that something will happen to you. ”

"I'm not the only one you want to see... It's just that you're so old that you won't struggle too much? Can the mental head keep up? "Hazy Talk.

"Hmm... At least now I eat well, sleep well, and it looks like I can live for a few decades, so you don't have to worry..."

Nitro was calm.

"I won't force you to stop you from beating the enemy clan, it's your decision, and I have no right to interfere... After all, the risk is also at your own risk. ”

"Good luck..."

With that, Nitrobi made an OK gesture, showed a row of teeth, and smiled.

Immediately, he went out of the room.

Before leaving, he muttered intentionally or unintentionally, "The current juniors, one is more difficult than the other... That's the fun, though..."

After the former left, the seemingly relaxed haze slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Tense the body, relax down.

He knew that Nitro would come...

This is a test and a game.

Invisible confrontation.

Is it to choose the five major disasters, or the five hopes...

Nitro and V5 are on the side of the disaster... lest it cause irreparable consequences to the human world.

But as a traverser, Hao's soul does not belong to this world, and he has no relatives, he just wants to be stronger... Therefore, his heart is more inclined to explore hope.

It is the general public who is coerced by disasters... For those who have a certain level of ability, it is only a challenge.

He is happy to take on a challenge!

Therefore, even if the human world collapses, in the eyes of the eye, it is a natural process of survival of the fittest.

Outsiders can say that he is ruthless... Say he's impersonal.

Out of a thirst for power, Hao also admits his selfishness... But for people like Nitro, it may be a little unacceptable.

They care about all humanity...

If Hao knew that Nitro had communicated and judged him before... It means that the two of them did not misunderstand him.

And what carries this selfishness is not only hazy.

Billy, Pariston, Kim Flix... Although the form of expression is different, it is all the same.

They... It's the same kind of people.

……

Outside the hospital building, Nitro walked up to the door of the car, looked back at the high room window, and sighed.

When I was young, why wasn't this the case...
