Men Qi faced the gazes of everyone.

"I don't know why Kevin threw the data out, but the information recorded in this Record Book is very... well, terrifying."

As she spoke, she glanced at everyone present and then astutely realized that the only one who might know the Danger Level of the information Buhara.

After thinking for a moment, he asked.

Do you know about the Dark Continent?

Apart from Xiahara, whose expression changed, the others, though showing some change in expression, clearly did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Only Pairo and Rosana's expressions changed more noticeably, but not in the way expected.

"What have you two thought of?" Men Qi asked, keenly aware of the situation.

Pairo gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.

"We'd heard Uncle Kevin mention it before, but it was just a brief mention; we didn't know any details, and he didn't intend to tell us."

Men Qi nodded. "That's normal. If you're not strong enough or not interested, there's no point in knowing; it just adds to your troubles."

Buhaci, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Could there be some relevant information recorded in the Record Book?"

"That's right, it's the monster we encountered at the end of [Food Village]. Didn't Kevin say that thing was a creature from the Dark Continent?"

"The source of the information is this Record Book, something brought back by its original owner. But what's truly important in this Record Book is a record of an operation on the Dark Continent, and even more valuable is a Smuggling Route it contains."

"Smuggling Route!"

Buhaci's voice involuntarily rose an octave before he fell silent again.

There are countless people who want to go to the Dark Continent.

This is no joke.

Those who know about the Dark Continent know the true wealth hidden there, a place that would absolutely drive the entire human society to flock to.

However, V5's alliance virtually eliminated the possibility for others to go there.

Reaching the V5 level is extremely difficult, almost a pipe dream.

The value of such a Smuggling Route is therefore self-evident.

However, that's clearly not what they're concerned about right now.

"But that's impossible, right? Even if someone disappears, they wouldn't disappear to a place like that, would they? That's practically the least likely option," Xiahara couldn't help but say.

Everything must have a rationale.

They might be in some strange space, or thrown into a hidden area, or perhaps they've entered a strange Secret Realm or Demonic Realm.

All of these possibilities are highly probable, except for being thrown into the Dark Continent, which is almost negligible.

Because these are completely different things.

Hearing what Xiahara said, Men Qi couldn't help but nod.

"That's true, but the only information in this file package that might match Kevin and the others' current situation is here."

Buhaci thought for a moment.

"We can recall the situation at the time. Due to some unexpected circumstances, Kevin and the others were affected by a Nen ability that resembled teleportation."

"Based on the traces, there was no fighting. That means there are only two possibilities: either it was a surprise attack that caught Kevin and the others completely off guard."

"Another possibility is that some kind of copper-blocking ability has appeared, making it impossible for Kevin to retaliate."

"The Document Bag was clearly thrown out on purpose; judging from the marks, it was tossed over just as it was about to be teleported away."

"Then it can only be the second scenario."

After listening to Buhaci's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement; it made perfect sense.

"In this situation, two possibilities arise: either Kevin knows where they will be teleported, or Kevin don't."

"If you know the purpose, the purpose of throwing out the Document Bag is to provide information; if you don't know the purpose, then..."

The Document Bag being thrown out was just a hint.

"This indicates they are missing, and provides more traces and evidence to help us analyze their current predicament and the circumstances they faced at the time."

Buhaci's analysis is very reasonable, and judging from the traces, there are almost no problems.

But.

The most important problem remains unsolved.

So where exactly are Kevin and the others right now?

After Men Qi said.

"The best solution we can think of right now is to entrust it to the Hunter Association. The Hunter Association has all kinds of Hunter x Hunter, including Hunter x Hunter looking for people."

"They usually possess corresponding Nen ability, which can help locate missing items or people, and even pinpoint their exact location."

"This is the simplest and easiest way to understand."

Leave professional tasks to professionals, let alone professional Hunter x Hunter.

Pairo had been somewhat silent all along.

He asked.

"What if... what if Uncle Kevin really was transferred to that place called the Dark Continent?"

Upon hearing this...

Men Qi and Buhaci exchanged a glance and then looked at Pairo.

He said seriously.

"This is almost impossible, can you understand? I shouldn't say more, but obviously this is not the time to hide it."

"Then let me tell you what I know about the Dark Continent. After you hear it, you'll understand why it's impossible."

Although Pairo's expression was very unpleasant, neither of them genuinely considered that possibility.

Those who don't understand might think such a situation is possible, but those who do know understand that it's the least likely possibility.

Only when there is finally conclusive evidence to prove this will they believe it is possible.

They won't accept it unless you throw the evidence in their faces.

"We don't know much about the Dark Continent either, after all, we haven't been Hunter x Hunter for very long."

"Ordinary people are completely unaware that this place exists; only a small group of Hunter x Hunter know about it."

"First of all, the human society we live in now is called Lake Mobius."

"Lake?"

Gowen was certain he hadn't misheard, so he asked more questions.

Men Qi glanced at him and nodded heavily, indicating that she was not joking.

"We all know that no one knows exactly how big the world is, but I can tell you that, in the grand scheme of things, we are currently on an archipelago in the middle of a lake."

This statement was incredibly shocking.

Everyone present fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Because a concept cannot be formed.

"No one has a precise idea of the distance between the center of the lake and the shore. All that is known is that crossing this stretch of water is extremely difficult and requires very demanding conditions."

The outside world is called the Dark Continent, and that is where the world truly is.

V5 has established very strict terms to Blockade, prohibiting those who are not qualified from going to that place, making it extremely difficult to get there.

I remember Kevin mentioned before that he had a copy of "New World Travelogue"?"

At this point Nion, who hadn't said much, nodded.

"Yes, I watched it with my sister Melusina."

Then, she couldn't help but ask, "But... but isn't that a fantasy novel?"

Men Qi shook her head. "I was originally planning to borrow it later. I can tell you for sure that everything written in that book is true."

This is why that book became a banned book.

Men Qi then added a few more things.

In short, the chances of being dumped there are almost nonexistent.

At this moment, Pairo had completely lowered his head, supporting his forehead with his hands.

Rosana's expression was also unusually unpleasant.

"So, do you two know something? Your expressions have been clearly off since the beginning. It's not nice to say it like this, but now is obviously not the time to hide information."

Pairo took a deep breath.

He took out a piece of paper.

"This is a prophecy, which we had someone write with our help after discovering that Uncle Kevin had an accident."

"I can't be sure about anything, but Uncle Kevin has said that the accuracy of his predictions is beyond doubt."

Men Qi, who knew of the extraordinary Nen ability, was not surprised.

He took the paper directly.

After reading it, his expression changed drastically.
