Strange Happenings

Upon hearing Feitan's words, Ian shook his head.

Feitan was puzzled by his actions.

"What, are you just going to let them go like that?"

Of course not!

"However, the Ejin City... no... it should be said that the entire Gogar Kingdom is facing some difficulties, so we have to temporarily abandon our plans to retaliate."

Ian explained what had happened that day to Feitan.

After hearing this, Feitan looked surprised and somewhat incredulous.

"So, you only went out for a short trip, and you encountered such a powerful enemy!?"

Upon hearing this, Ian's face darkened, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Hey, hey... what are you saying? Netero is the president of the Hunter Association! He's not our enemy, so please don't even think like that!"

Feitan shrugged.

Ian looked at Ryuk with some regret.

"What a waste of this guy's Nen Ability..."

"I was originally planning to use the [Ability Copy Gloves] to copy the other person's ability and see how it went..."

As he said this, he gently clenched his fist.

Feeling the power emanating from Netero, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

"But now there's a better option, Feitan. If you don't understand the value of the Hunter Guild Master title, I can reluctantly let you experience it..."

Feitan's lips twitched slightly, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Stop, stop! I don't want to fight you anymore..."

"Honestly, even you speak highly of them. It seems we can't afford to mess with the Hunter Association for the time being..."

Ian said helplessly.

"Why always try to make enemies? What we need to do is focus on doing our best!"

Just then...

Chrollo, who was standing behind him, seemed slightly lost in thought.

He seemed absorbed by Ian's words and was deep in thought.

His calm eyes were fixed on Ryuk, whose breathing was weak, and he looked slightly taken aback.

"If I could acquire this guy's abilities, although I wouldn't be able to have as many items as you, Ian, perhaps accumulating enough power would be a viable path..."

Chrollo didn't try to hide it from the crowd; his calm words reached everyone's ears.

As he finished speaking...

Within his body, a slight fluctuation of Nen also arose.

The others haven't reacted particularly yet.

But Ian's brow twitched, his expression faltered, and his features became somewhat complicated.

Chrollo... could he be about to awaken his unique Nen Ability, "The Thief's Manual," right now?

But.

Clearly, Kuro's plan did not succeed.

He wasn't thinking about stealing his enemy's Nen Ability at that moment; he was thinking about copying the opponent's Nen Ability, just like Ian used the [Ability Copy Gloves].

But I have absolutely no clue!

Chrollo sighed helplessly, saying with a hint of resignation.

"I have absolutely no idea how to do it. To be able to replicate someone else's abilities like Ian, I'm afraid my talent means I have absolutely no hope of achieving that in the short term..."

"Ian, is the concept of Nen Ability really that difficult...?"

For once, Chrollo showed a slightly bewildered expression.

Ian also somewhat helpless and speechless.

Sorry... Kuro... I was using cheat codes...

But I can't say it...

In the Hunter World, Ian obtains items from another world by signing in through the system, essentially ignoring the rules and conditions of Nen Abilities!

And like Chrollo.

Building a Nen ability from scratch that can copy other people's Nen Abilities is extremely difficult!

Even the "Thief's Manual" he created in the original work had several highly restrictive conditions!

It even includes requirements that 1-3 conditions must be completed within one hour.

Furthermore, the stolen Nen Ability is automatically erased from the book upon the death of the person to whom it was stolen, and cannot be used again. This restriction, which makes it extremely difficult to meet the conditions, is what allows one to acquire the ability to steal.

With that in mind, Ian finally spoke up.

"If we only consider replication capability, it's very difficult..."

"Perhaps, Chrollo, you should consider this issue from a few different perspectives..."

Chrollo murmured upon hearing his words.

"How about we look at it from a different perspective...?"

Ian couldn't offer too many pointers at this point.

Most importantly, including Chrollo, none of them have been able to systematically learn about Nen Abilities.

In his original plan, this matter should have been accomplished by Mizaistom alone.

But to everyone's surprise, this guy agreed so readily!

However, after rescuing his companion and leaving, he still hasn't appeared, and Ian is starting to wonder if he's been stood up.

However, considering the other person's character, Ian felt it was unlikely to be that bad.

The other party is not the kind of person who breaks their word.

For Chrollo and the others, it's best not to decide on their future Nen Abilities at this stage.

After all...

At this point, they faced no threat to their survival or safety, so they could take their time to develop their Nen Abilities. Only in this way could they create more complete Nen Abilities.

If one's own strength is slightly greater and one has more Nen, one can completely lower some of the requirements regarding the rules and restrictions on developing Nen Abilities.

Ian thought about it for a moment, and after making preparations, he would have a detailed discussion with Chrollo.

Then he asked Feitan.

"There's another prisoner. Where is she? We need to ask her about some things concerning the Gogar Kingdom!"

Feitan pointed to another secret room and said calmly.

"That guy... he's been pretty quiet ever since he got locked up. I wonder if he's scared out of his wits..."

Soon.

The iron gate was opened, revealing Elena, whose face was much paler than a few days ago.

As the light streamed into the room, Elena squinted; it was too bright for her eyes!

"I didn't explain it clearly to you before, and of course, I didn't have the chance to explain it to you..."

"Now's your chance... Could you tell me what happened in your country? Where is that Ancient Ruins located, and what happened inside?"

Ian cut to the chase and asked directly.

Elena was taken aback and remained silent for a moment.

She deeply regretted not listening to Mr. Jin; thankfully, she was still alive...

She heard clearly the screams of those enemies torturing Ryuk, and even as a Nen user, she didn't want to meet such a tragic end.

Just as she was about to speak, Ian calmly said...

"I know you're acting on the orders of the royal princess..."

"Therefore, please take what you are about to say seriously and do not deviate from the truth. If I have any doubts, it might... affect our relationship with your princess. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing Ian's words, Elena paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said in a rather hoarse voice.

"The incident occurred a year ago. An Ancient Ruins was discovered on the south side of the city of Gugurian. The first group of explorers to discover the Ruins did not report it to the relevant authorities; they simply continued digging deeper on their own."

"As a result... they encountered a curse within the Ruins. A total of eight people, each of them subsequently exhibited symptoms such as drastic mood changes, photophobia, and a preference for shade..."

"Later, he started vomiting blood, a lot of blood..."

"The hospital couldn't find a treatment plan, and in just ten days, a total of eight people died. Their skin was pale, and they had vomited almost all the blood from their bodies..."

Hearing her words, Ian simply frowned.

Judging from what the other person said, it doesn't seem serious. What does it have to do with Malice?

This is more like contracting some kind of infectious disease.

Just then, Elena slowly raised her head, looked at Ian Fetan and the others, and continued speaking.

"But a few days later, these dead people all came back to life..."

Ian was taken aback.
