Want to Take a Quick Trip?

Jin's ears perked up instantly.

For Jin, he might be indifferent to other things, but the Dark Continent was a pursuit he could never give up.

The Freecss family, whose history spans the entire Hunter World, has an inseparable connection with the Dark Continent.

Including right now.

Gon, the protagonist of the Hunter World, was still in Egina's womb and had not yet been born.

The bloodline of the Freecss family is destined to set foot on that mysterious and unknown continent.

This is...

The chapter of destiny was written long ago.

That's why his eyes widened when Ian mentioned the Dark Continent at this moment.

Before this, King had heard Ian talk about the Dark Continent.

Clearly, he wasn't surprised that Ian knew about the existence of that mysterious land, but rather because of the casual tone Ian had just used when talking about "going to the Dark Continent."

"Ian, you wouldn't...?"

Kim's eyes widened at that moment, as he thought of a hypothetical scenario that he might have subconsciously overlooked before.

If this speculation comes true...

Upon thinking of this, his gaze instantly locked onto the [Anywhere Door] in front of Ian.

The pink door frame itself looks ordinary; if it weren't for its peculiar appearance, it would look exactly like a regular door that a child had casually doodled on in pink.

However, this could be due to Gin's understanding and sensitivity to Nen Abilities.

Connecting this to Ian's earlier words, a certain possibility instantly came to mind.

"Could this door lead to somewhere else?!"

Unable to bear the shock of this thought exploding in his mind any longer, Jin blurted it out, disregarding the presence of others present!

Upon hearing Kim's words, Ian turned his head and saw the other's shocked expression.

That's quite interesting.

He didn't understand Jin's obsession with the Dark Continent, but even if Jin later wanted his help to reach the Dark Continent, he wouldn't refuse his request.

After all, it was just a small favor for him.

Therefore, he didn't hide it and readily nodded in admission.

"That's right. In this world, there's probably no place that the [Anywhere Door] can't reach. The Dark Continent is just a bit far away. Even a V5 can go there, so how could I not go!?"

Hearing Ian's affirmative answer.

At that moment, Jin's breath caught in his throat.

Despite having suspected it for some time, he still couldn't understand when Ian openly admitted it, and his mind even went blank for a moment.

"It's actually possible..."

Jin's eyes were somewhat vacant, staring blankly at the pink door not far away.

It was as if I could see the "problems" and "answers" left behind by generations of ancestors who had overcome countless obstacles and worked tirelessly, and all of this was now within easy reach.

Once you pass through that door, you can reach the "land of dreams and the unknown".

No one in this world is without desires.

For Jin, traveling to the Dark Continent is his most pressing desire!

"Pulse..."

He swallowed hard, suppressing a certain desire.

This was the first time that Egina had ever seen the man beside her so serious.

In the past, Jin was either funny, unkempt, or occasionally showed a mature side, which surprised her.

But this was the first time she had ever seen Jin so earnestly display such a yearning expression.

"Gold?"

Egina spoke somewhat uneasily.

Although she didn't know what Kim and Ian were talking about, she instinctively felt it must be some very important secret.

"Call..."

Seemingly having heard Egina's words, Jin took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze was much clearer.

His face tightened slightly, his expression somewhat serious. He glanced at Egina briefly before apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Egina, what we're about to discuss involves some sensitive matters, and I think you can't discuss it for the time being..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin snapped his fingers.

White Nen burst forth from his fingertips, then transformed into a transparent cube-shaped structure that enveloped him and Ian, completely isolating them from the surrounding people.

Egina took a small step back; she naturally understood Kim's actions.

But she was also somewhat curious...

Dark Continent?

What place could have triggered such a strong reaction from Kim?

Yinkui and Rost, who were nearby, also heard the conversation between the two, but they didn't understand it either. Just as they were still pondering, they witnessed Jin's methods.

Simply... incomprehensible. This unique way of using "Nen" made them stare wide-eyed.

Unbelievable!

Can Nian... still be used like this?

Ian glanced at the Nen that isolated them from the people around them, but didn't react much, only expressing surprise.

"Is there any need for such vigilance? The Dark Continent will eventually be known to ordinary people. V5's approach is blatant mind control. I believe ordinary people also have the right to know the truth about this world."

Upon hearing Ian's words, King paused for a moment, but quickly shook his head.

"Perhaps, but in the short term, I don't think they're ready to understand such special information..."

At this point, his tone changed, becoming serious and earnest.

"So... Ian, have you already reached... that Dark Continent!?"

His amber-brown eyes were fixed on Ian; the other's answer was crucial!

Even more important than the groundbreaking special Game he and his companions have been developing recently, a game involving Nen Ability players!

"No!" Ian's answer was crisp and decisive.

But this answer clearly surprised Kim!

"No... no!?"

Jin's eyes widened, his face filled with disappointment. He hadn't expected that... what Ian had said before was still something that hadn't actually happened.

But... thinking about it, it makes sense...

For generations, their family had longed to travel to that continent, leaving behind only fragmentary accounts, each person exploring ways to reach it.

Success is rare, let alone for Ian, who is still quite young at the time.

Even if the opponent's Nen Ability is extraordinary, it may still require some time and certain conditions before they can truly accomplish the feat of teleporting directly to the Dark Continent.

However, just as he was thinking this, and even had come up with a reason for Ian's return.

Ian's next words, however, lifted him back from hell to heaven!

"I don't know enough about that place yet. I've heard it's full of strange things, and I'm not willing to go there alone unless I'm absolutely sure..."

Ian shook his head vigorously, uttering words that were both willful and incredibly frank.

"Even bringing Chrollo and Uvogin wouldn't work; they're not strong enough to handle things on their own. Going there to explore would be far too dangerous!"

Jin's expression stiffened slightly, and he felt as if he had something stuck in his throat.

Not going there... because it's dangerous!?

That's the Dark Continent! How could it not be dangerous?!

But it is a place that countless adventurers yearn for to explore the unknown limits!

Trying to shake off the grumbling in his mind, he asked.

"So, Ian, are you really able to get there?"

Ian glanced at him, then thought of how King's ancestor, Freecss, seemed to still be traveling in some region of the Dark Continent, so it was normal for King to be interested in that place. So he replied.

"Certainly!"

"Even if we were to take a stroll there now, it wouldn't be a problem. Of course, we certainly can't stay long. Until we're fully prepared, that dangerous area, which hasn't been thoroughly cleared and developed, is temporarily unsuitable for human habitation!"

Hearing Ian's words.

Jin's breath hitched, and only that sentence echoed in his mind.

"Let's go for a stroll now..."

That place... is the Dark Continent!
