Inside the hospital.

Passing through layers of protection.

The two entered a heavily guarded ward.

There was a nurse and two bodyguards in the ward at that time.

All three are Nen user.

It's practically like close-quarters protection.

There are two more next door.

The best way to identify Nen user is to see if their aura naturally rises upwards.

Even Nen user have received formal education would not deliberately hide their Nen user under normal circumstances.

The three people providing close protection are stronger.

Kevin's simple feeling was that the two next door were weaker.

It's not that he has any way of judging the strength of others; such things mainly rely on intuition and experience.

In his view, these five people represent a single phase.

"Let's begin the treatment," Qiduo said from the side.

Kevin nodded. "Okay, I'm available anytime. Just remind me when it's my turn to act."

As he spoke, Kevin produced a syringe in his hand, into which a specially prepared medicine had already been placed.

As for why someone who makes custom-made medicine would come and participate in the treatment, it's because he needs to know whether his custom-made medicine is effective.

Even if it has been produced and its effects have been defined, its actual performance in practice remains to be seen.

With Kevin here, any unexpected problems can be corrected in a timely manner.

Anyway, we're in the same city.

Kevin didn't care about such a small matter.

Qiduo opened her eyes and reached out to examine the patient in front of her.

Kevin watched curiously from the side.

He didn't understand Qiduo's Nen ability. During their last collaboration, he felt that it wasn't Qiduo's Nen ability, but rather an application of it.

Now that he has more experience and can see more, he discovered some details about Kido's Nen ability while observing Qiduo's treatment.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qiduo's ability should be related to sound waves.

It looks like it's Emission Type.

That's all you can see.

Because it was a very delicate treatment, Kevin didn't disturb him too much, standing quietly to the side and waiting.

At that moment, Kevin seemed to sense something and inexplicably looked towards the next room.

If he remembered correctly, the lounge next door should have been the rest area for the other two bodyguards.

Malice.

For myself.

So, why?

These two people hadn't shown any hostility towards me just now, but now they've inexplicably started to harass me.

There were a total of five Nen user bodyguards.

Two were placed next to each other, while three others provided close protection.

The last time I came, these two were in the next room.

Instead, two more bodyguards were added to his personal security detail.

In other words, these two people next door aren't exactly trustworthy; perhaps it's an employer-employee relationship?

A mole?

It's no wonder Kevin thought that way; inexplicable malice is strange in itself.

Kevin has certain standards for judging malice.

It's just simple dislike; I wish I'd get hurt, I wish I'd get away, I wish I'd die.

Each type of malice is different.

The reaction will vary depending on each person's tolerance level and personality.

The two people next door didn't hate me; they just wanted me to leave or die.

In other words, you're blocking the way.

The patient was heavily protected; Qiduo was unwilling to reveal the patient's privacy or the origin of the patient's illness.

This means that the patient is in danger.

They've stayed here for so long without any attacks, but today during treatment they showed signs of malice, as if there was danger, and the level of security around them has increased.

In other words, the enemy does not want the patient to recover, but rather prefers that he remain in his current state.

So the target isn't the patient, but oneself? Or is it oneself and Qiduo?

Thinking of this, Kevin looked at Qiduo.

At this moment, Qiduo was in a state of extreme concentration during the treatment.

In this situation, even a highly skilled Hunter x Hunter like Qiduo would not be able to maintain sufficient vigilance regarding his surroundings.

Would an enemy turn against a Three-star Hunter just to stop the healing?

Given Qiduo's abilities, did he really not anticipate the possible attack?

After thinking for a moment, Kevin remained vigilant, but still stood in place.

Outside the hospital.

A truck was slowly approaching when a minor accident occurred ahead of us.

The two drivers got out of their car and started cursing, instantly attracting a crowd.

The road was also blocked.

The truck was parked conspicuously in front of the hospital.

The other side of the carriage opened, and five figures jumped out.

They quickly blended into the crowd and approached the hospital.

Traffic jam, minor car accident ahead, crowd watching the play.

This quickly turned that section of the road into chaos.

Under these circumstances, the five people quickly slipped past the people watching them and entered the hospital.

And next to the ward,

Two bodyguards, a man and a woman, sat facing each other.

At this moment, both of them had serious expressions and were staring at each other.

Suddenly, a machine at the waist of one of them vibrated slightly.

"Here we go."

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee, pressed his ear to the floor, and closed his eyes.

The female bodyguard then went to the door and placed her index finger on the crack in the door.

"Seven people on the fifth floor, ten people on the sixth floor, nine people on the fourth floor. Watch out for the stairs and the elevator."

The sound entered her ears directly. The female bodyguard remained silent, and a little bit of air escaped from her index finger, spreading outwards.

[Sleep like a baby]

This is her Nen ability: colorless and formless Nen Aura that remains "hidden." When Emission, it moves slowly but enters the body of others through their breathing, releasing hypnotic gas.

Hypnotic gas began to spread across the upper, lower, and current floors, precisely entering the bodies of each guard.

For ordinary people, the Nen user of an Emission Type Nen user to control others so silently is a complete and utter defeat.

After finishing, the female bodyguard wagged her finger.

The male bodyguard, who was lying on the ground, tapped the machine at his waist.

At this moment, in a toilet on the first floor, five people who had come from outside had already changed into their combat uniforms.

"Operation begins."

Inside the ward.

The nurse and her two bodyguards seemed to have sensed something.

They looked at each other.

The nurse took out roll after roll of bandages from the medical kit, attaching her Nen ability to them.

Enhancement Type?

Kevin watched from the sidelines, making his judgment.

The three of them moved quickly, and Kevin watched as they wrapped bandages around their elbows, like they were practicing boxing.

He then equipped himself with some more.

After she finished, the nurse glanced at Kevin, who remained silent beside her.

Do you need it?

He handed over the bandage and asked.

Kevin shook his head.

He roughly deduced that this nurse was probably an Enhancement Type, and her enhancement was in bandages.

It seems that in addition to its simple healing effects, it can also be wrapped around the hand to enhance combat abilities.

"The enemy has invaded; we need to prepare outside."

"That's what the bodyguard with the buzz cut said."

Kevin waved his hand dismissively.

"Do as you please, my task is simply to provide auxiliary treatment from the sidelines."

Of course, if you need any help, please let me know; after all, this hospital is part of my property.

Seeing Kevin's calm expression, the three of them couldn't tell whether it was because of his great strength or because he was confused about the situation.

However, none of this affected Qiduo; she remained focused on her treatment.

Just then, Kevin looked up and saw a formidable figure approaching.

Moreover, they make no attempt to conceal their presence, whether it's the aura emanating from their bodies or the instinctive aura they exude.

Very rugged.

Enhancement Type?

It was quite far away, and several floors away, so even Kevin's senses couldn't quite make out the situation, since he wasn't using his circle.

However, judging from the current trend...

This must be one of Qiduo's backup plans.

The moment the three bodyguards left the ward, the two people in the next room jumped out of the window.

"Bang!"

The rooftop window is broken.

A short man rushed down through the broken window.

The two traitors who had just jumped down hadn't had time to assess the situation.

Before the two men could react, one of the short men was kicked.

The two were sent flying like cannonballs; one crashed into a bicycle rack next to him, and the other slammed into the wall.

Judging from the current situation, even if these two are not dead, they have already lost their ability to fight.

"He really doesn't know what's good for him; he actually dared to run away in front of this Kansai old man."

That's right, it's the Tiger of the Twelve Zodiacs, the Treasure Hunter and bodyguard— Kansai.

He was using incorrect idioms, but since there was no one around, no one could correct him.

After eliminating the two traitors, Kansai successfully reached the first floor. His actions were swift and agile, so he did not alert the enemy.

They quickly entered the hospital.

The entire first floor appears unchanged.

However, looking at the stairs, it was clear that no one was going up to the second floor; it was as if everyone had forgotten about going up to the second floor.

"That annoying Nen ability."

Kansai spoke, his entire body enveloped in Nen Aura, he suddenly surged forward, as if breaking through some kind of barrier, and entered the staircase.

Above.

The five intruders, already dressed in special operations uniforms and Firearm, quickly emptied the floor.

"Ash, Smoke Blockade."

The man known as Gray nodded and took out a specially made smoke bomb from his waist and threw it out.

The specially designed smoke bomb instantly emitted a large amount of smoke, which spread rapidly at an abnormal speed, quickly filling the entire floor.

"Someone"

"Beep!"

A muffled, silenced gunshot rang out, and the bodyguard, who was about to shout, was struck squarely between the eyebrows and fell to the ground.

As the smoke filled the air, the bodyguards and some resting doctors and nurses on the second floor lost consciousness in the smoke before they could even react.

Some bodyguards acted swiftly, covering their mouths and noses, and quickly moved behind nearby tables or walls with their guns in hand.

"Scan, Infrared."

The man referred to as Infrared nodded, and tactical goggles appeared on his face.

In his field of vision, all the people behind the wall were marked with red outlines.

Fire the Firearm in hand.

Special Firearm were fired, marking different locations on each wall.

Despite the unusual smoke, the five people remained unaffected, as if the smoke did not cause them to faint or obstruct their vision.

This smoke was clearly caused by Nen ability.

As the markings were made on the wall.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Several muffled gunshots rang out.

The man named Insight fired bullets from his Firearm that pierced through the wall as if they had disappeared into water, leaving no trace.

In the Infrared field of vision, a humanoid figure marked with a red outline lay limp on the ground.

"Second floor cleared, target fifth floor."

For the past few days, apart from medical staff, there has only been one patient in the entire hospital.

All the other patients were replaced with bodyguards.

The group quickly went up to the third floor.

"Signpost, Blockade this area."

The man known as the Signpost nodded, conjured something resembling a seal in his hand, and pulled it across both sides of the staircase.

The yellow Blockade tape sealed off the area, and then it Blockade.

The five continued upwards, using the same trick to quickly clear the third floor.

"Damn it, how come there are still enemies on the third floor? What are those two guys doing?"

Echo, as the team leader, couldn't help but curse.

He cursed as he opened his mouth wide, silently shouting. Invisible sound waves began to spread throughout the entire hospital, but he received no Echo.

"Those two guys are in trouble, stay alert!"

As he spoke, he gripped the gun in his hand tighter.

However, the mission must continue.

The third floor was cleared out and then Blockade, and the five people headed towards the fourth floor.

At this moment, the Signpost frowned and said in a low voice.

"The Blockade on the first floor has been breached; Nen user have stormed up."

The Infrared beam looked down towards the first-floor staircase, and its vision pierced through the layers of floors to see a blurry outline.

"There was only one person."

Echo made its judgment immediately.

"Let's keep going up!"

As he spoke, his mouth opened wide, and different sound waves radiated outwards.

Within his sound waves, the overall map of these layers appeared in his mind.

"Everyone upstairs has collapsed," the Infrared announced.

Echo immediately realized that the two traitors were behind the action and breathed a sigh of relief.

The four of them quickly passed the fourth floor, Signpost began to be frantically sealed off behind them.

We went straight to the fifth floor.

"Five people are still standing; two are inside the ward, and the other three are hiding in the corridor leading to the ward."

"Infrared said quickly."

He then fired his gun, marking the hiding place.

Insight had just raised his gun.

A round, spherical object flew from around the corner at lightning speed and landed right in front of the crowd before exploding.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound.

The five people's vision was immediately blocked, followed by tinnitus and dizziness.

Silent waves spread.

This condition was immediately alleviated considerably, at least allowing the five people to continue their actions.

He immediately drew his gun upon Insight this.

Another round sphere flew over, and several bullets were fired, hitting the incoming sphere.

Insight had already raised his Firearm and aimed, firing several bullets toward the marked spot.

The bullet embedded itself in the wall.

The flat-headed bodyguard controlling the sphere was immediately hit. Fortunately, he had already changed positions beforehand, but the shot still struck his calf, immediately limiting his mobility.

Faced with this situation, he gritted his teeth, quickly took out the bandage, and applied it with lightning speed.

Despite the injury, his leg has temporarily regained mobility.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out in the corridor, and the situation quickly turned into a chaotic battle, with smoke filling the entire floor.

Meanwhile, Kansai had already rushed up to the third floor.

Facing the heavily Blockade fourth floor, he frowned, looking irritated.

Kevin, in the hospital room, was somewhat curious.

He couldn't wait to shoot the "circle" out and see what happened.

"Injection!"

At that moment, Qiduo suddenly shouted.

Kevin immediately inserted the needle.
