The first sentence he spoke made Elder Babagra, who had been somewhat inattentive, slightly surprised.

"Everyone in the world can connect instantly at the speed of light."

Chrollo analyzed seriously, "Information sent by individuals can be seen by everyone in the world."

"The environment of this society will undergo drastic changes."

Elder Babagra couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Chrollo continued, "The culprits who attacked the children of Meteor City must have recordings."

"They said they'd leave messages at first, which shows they have a strong desire for attention..."

"These guys... if they find an opportunity, or rather, a stage that can provide them with a display."

"They will undoubtedly be eager to publish their [works] to the whole world."

"Bad deeds cannot see the light of day, and it's the same with new communication!!"

"In a world where countless lights carry information back and forth, [national borders] still exist."

"Crossing [national borders] is regulated, so they will definitely look for [backdoors]."

"We need to prepare this [backdoor] in advance."

"Using Meteor City as a blank slate to provide methods to evade [police] pursuit, evil people will surely gather here!!"

"At that time, we can create a hiding place for bad people under the new technology."

"When they leisurely gather here, we can find them and identify the culprits who committed evil in Meteor City!!"

Chrollo tried to explain the plan more plainly and clearly in language he could understand.

At least Mog found it incredibly familiar.

The so-called [new communication], [a world where lights carry information back and forth], was actually the internet!!

In the current era, 1983, the outside world was in the midst of an internet revolution, with the online world emerging!!

Chrollo keenly sensed the tide of this era.

Moreover, his gaze was astonishingly accurate in mentioning [national borders], which is [firewalls].

And [backdoors], which are [tools for bypassing censorship].

As for [police], they are [censors] and [internet police] online~~

At Chrollo's age, he had already pinpointed this.

It had to be said, it was truly astonishing.

At least, Elder Babagra had completely straightened his posture.

His previously somewhat cloudy eyes were now exceptionally serious:

"Who told you or taught you these things?"

Elder Babagra asked in a deep voice.

"This is all from myself, deduced bit by bit from watching videotapes and news from the outside world."

Chrollo said calmly.

Elder Babagra stared at Chrollo for a long time.

Although Elder Babagra was very old and his face was full of wrinkles.

He was actually old in body but young at heart, not left behind by the times, and he often kept up with information from the outside world.

Because of this, he had also noticed the communication revolution that Chrollo spoke of.

If it were someone like him, who paid close attention to external changes, or people at the very center of the era's wave, he wouldn't be surprised to have such an opinion.

But the one who came up with such a guess was merely a child of only ten years old!

Chapter 061: The Troupe Opens Their Aura Pores! Out of Control! [The Future of Children]

What truly astonished Elder Babagra was that Chrollo had deduced all this information solely from the garbage within Meteor City~~~

"No wonder..."

After a long while, Elder Babagra slowly nodded:

"No wonder Father Zhol and Mog recommended you so highly."

"I understand now, outstanding individuals recognize each other, which is why they value you so much..."

Father Zhol still had a benevolent smile, while Mog returned a smile to Chrollo, who looked at him.

Chrollo then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In that case, he had passed the test!!

"You can come here anytime in the future~."

Just as they were about to leave, Elder Babagra granted them a special privilege:

"If you have any other suitable, good ideas, feel free to come and chat with me."

His wrinkled face broke into a smile. "When people get old, they just want to hear different voices."

"And your works, if possible, send me a videotape too."

This statement essentially served as a complete endorsement for Mog and Chrollo.

As long as Mog and Chrollo were in Meteor City, no matter what they did or how much trouble they caused, the Elders of Meteor City would be their most solid backing.

Anyone who wanted to make a move against them would have to consider the Elder Council standing behind them!

Furthermore, the Elder Council would provide Mog and the others with the greatest support.

And the most obvious point right now was~~~

"I never expected to get so much useful information!!"

Chrollo, hugging a pile of videotapes, had a very happy smile on his face.

These were all videotapes containing common knowledge about the outside world.

To outsiders, they might just be like encyclopedias, educational content.

But for Chrollo in Meteor City, they were as good as finding a treasure.

"Shalnark will surely be happy too!!"

Chrollo excitedly imagined.

Among their many companions, only Shalnark was more willing to accept new things.

Willing to try more different things, broaden his horizons, and increase his knowledge and understanding.

As for Mog, he received two things from Elder Babagra:

A map of the area around Meteor City.

And a strangely shaped object, similar to a bus ticket.

Mog had seen this thing in the manga.

In the original plot of the manga, after Sarasa was dismembered and killed, Father Zhol invited Miss Renko, a Corpse Beautician from Misty Forest Valley.

After her stitching, Sarasa was restored to her original appearance, looking so lifelike she seemed alive.

Her miraculous Corpse Restoration, a technique that restored and preserved bodies as much as possible to their state before death, opened the eyes of the Troupe members.

It was at that time that everyone realized the existence of Nen abilities.

Machi even approached Miss Renko, wanting to learn from her.

The answer, of course, was no.

"No, I don't use technique, but a special ability."

That's what Miss Renko had replied at the time.

Machi stared at her, "Is this so-called ability related to the light emanating from Miss Renko?"

"You can see Qi?!"

Machi, who could see Qi, greatly surprised Miss Renko.

Then she crouched down, looking at Machi's bright eyes:

"What beautiful eyes... so enviable."

After saying this, Miss Renko left Machi a voucher resembling a bus ticket:

"Take the last bus, tell the driver you're going to Misty Forest Valley, and then show this. You can come to my place for free."

What Miss Renko gave Machi was identical to what Elder Babagra had given Mog in his hand at that moment.

"Good, this way, I can open a new map."

Mog casually put the bus ticket away.

However, he had no intention of going himself.

After all, Miss Renko's temper and personality were very eccentric, and Mog felt he might not be able to get along with her.

Moreover~~~

"With so many of my Inventions, I can rely on myself to become stronger."

Mog was very calm in his heart. "Even if I can't operate the advanced techniques of Nen with meticulous detail, my foundation is here, which is enough to make me much stronger than most Nen users."

"Even if I really needed someone to guide my training and learning, I would at least find a truly powerful master."

"And preferably someone who is good and orderly, and whose background can be clearly understood~~~"

Well, Misty Forest Valley, which had a connection with Meteor City, was clearly not a place of good people.

Mog didn't believe that if they found out about the secrets and Inventions he possessed, they could resist making a move against him~~~

He had no intention of entrusting his own safety to trusting other people's character.

People should rely on themselves in all matters.
