External Aid X Wary Creatures

Inside the Nosra Manor.

After Men Qi and Xiahara stored the materials they were carrying in the warehouse.

Then we entered the lobby.

Besides Pairo and Rosana, Shalnark was also in the hall.

Normally, Shalnark should be taking turns overseeing the store at this time, but given the current situation, she has no choice but to stay behind as Basho Goreinu.

After all, Shalnark is a key combatant, and keeping her at the Nosra Manor would better ensure the safety of the place.

"Pairo, what's going on?"

Men Qi walked over and asked directly. She was out doing some things, but rushed back after receiving a call from Pairo.

Although Pairo's tone on the phone was very normal when asking them to come back for help, he didn't provide much information.

But that already speaks volumes.

Because it wasn't Kevin made the call.

In this situation, if Kevin were there, he should be Kevin one talking to them.

If it were Pairo instead, then there would only be one possibility.

Kevin is in trouble.

Pairo didn't hide anything and said directly, "Uncle Kevin and Sister Melusina are missing."

Men Qi frowned upon hearing this.

Buhaci asked from the side, "What do you mean by 'missing'? Does it mean you can't contact them? Or have you confirmed their situation?"

For Hunter x Hunter, the term "missing" cannot be arbitrarily defined.

Because Hunter x Hunter often stay in one place for months or even years, making it impossible for others to find them.

This situation can occur if you don't inform your family and friends at this time.

Friends and family thought he had disappeared.

However, the Hunter Association would not classify such a situation as a missing person.

As for how the Hunter Association would make its specific judgment, neither of them knew.

However, it is clear that for Hunter x Hunter, the definition of "missing" is very strict.

It's essentially equivalent to death.

Pairo sighed and said very seriously, "They are missing, but not dead. We have the means to confirm that they are still alive, but they have been in a very dangerous situation for a long time."

"Moreover, the environment might be quite unique."

Men Qi frowned.

She looked at Pairo with some dissatisfaction, but also with understanding.

After all, the two of them had spent quite a bit of time at the Nosra Manor.

I have a general idea of the trust levels within the Nosra Manor.

There's absolutely no way those two could be included in the core circle of trust.

However, if the information they have is not detailed enough, the two of them cannot provide a judgment or help.

"Pairo, now is not the time to hide it."

Rosana reminded her from the side.

Having heard Rosana say that, Pairo could only nod.

He stared directly at Men Qi, his eyes then turning a ruby red before vanishing in an instant. "Your eyes can turn red? What does it mean?"

Men Qi was taken aback.

She's Gourmet Hunter, so her focus is limited.

Buhaci, however, realized what was happening.

"It's Fiery Red Eye, don't you remember? We encountered it at the auction before."

He seemed to remember something and slapped his head.

"No wonder Kevin was so interested in the auction of those eyes."

Hearing Xiahara's reminder, Men Qi also recalled it.

"Ah, I remember now."

Seeing that these two didn't know anything about the Kurta Clan, Pairo simply said...

"Aunt Rosana's Nen ability was able to determine the situation of Uncle Kevin and Sister Melusina, and her Nen ability could even forcibly pull the two of them back."

"We've tested it before; it can pull them back even if they're on opposite sides of a continent or on different continents."

Upon hearing this, the two became serious.

"So, this time it's too late to turn things around, right?"

Pairo nodded.

That's the idea.

"Where did they go missing? Where were they originally headed? You should know these things, right?"

"I know, Kurapika is leading people there. Judging by the time, they should be there soon."

It was then that Men Qi noticed some display devices in the hall, and they looked very high-tech.

These are some of the high-tech equipment that Kurapika and his crew brought with them on their journey.

Pairo called for backup from Men Qi and the other man, wanting them to come and see the situation on the ground with them.

This is the only way to discover the root cause of the problem in a timely manner.

"Beep beep beep!"

The phone rang at that moment.

Pairo quickly answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

"This is Kurapika. We've reached the outer edge of the Ruins; we can see Ruins now."

As he spoke, the display screen in front of him turned on.

Then Kurapika's face appeared, and he waved at the camera.

"Can you see it? Is the display clear?"

"No problem, I can see it."

They confirmed with each other before starting.

Multiple screens are connected.

He then began to carefully record the surrounding environment.

They saw the footprints, which hadn't completely disappeared.

It's confirmed, it's Kevin and Melusina.

Then continue scanning until you enter the interior of the Ruins.

The internal structure was also thoroughly scanned.

Then I saw the Document Bag in front of the Square Stone Pillar.

This thing is far too conspicuous.

He was completely out of place with everything around him.

They didn't rush to take it, but instead made a complete record of the surrounding situation.

Kurapika then picked up the Document Bag.

"It belongs to Uncle Kevin, and judging from the marks, it was clearly thrown from this direction."

Because no one has come here for several years, some dust and gravel have accumulated on the ground.

The Document Bag was flung from the Square Stone Pillar, sliding a short distance across the ground, leaving a clear mark. "It seems this Document Bag might be the message Uncle wanted to convey."

They escaped again.

Kevin watched helplessly as the creature, roughly the size of his head, fled from afar.

He had already used the most concealed and deadly technique he could muster, but it still had no effect.

It was as if his absolute power was completely meaningless, which once made Kevin doubt whether he had even used it.

However, walking over is definitely different from swaggering around.

The only advantage of doing this was that he could at least see these creatures, albeit from a distance.

I couldn't even see it before.

I didn't know; I thought this place was completely empty.

If he gets any closer, these creatures will become alert and flee.

Extremely fast.

Unless he pushes his speed to its limit, he simply cannot catch up.

"This godforsaken place."

He leaned helplessly against the tree. Judging from the situation, anything alive here would be of high quality enough to be used in medicine.

However, at this stage, unless the surrounding circumstances are sufficiently reassuring for him, he will find it difficult to produce the medicine.

Not to mention researching new drugs.

Fortunately, the Prophecy Poem gave them hints to prepare everything, so Kevin prepared enough potions.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome.

"If we can't catch these weaklings—what about the slightly stronger ones?"

Kevin couldn't help but think.

Surely those predators won't run away?

Furthermore, not every predator is extremely dangerous; there are always those that pose a lower Danger Level.

Predators also operate in interconnected groups.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

If they encounter a creature that might not run away but instead attack, hunting such a creature might actually be easier.

But his current situation is not safe, so he needs to find a creature that is not so Danger Level.
