Binding Resentment X Regrouping

A place where Resentment surges forth.

Pairo looked ahead.

Refilled with Nen Aura, the Shalnark's corpse, which had returned from a mummified state to normal, stood up crookedly like a puppet.

The holes that had appeared on her legs were still there, but it was as if she was being pulled by invisible threads, which did not affect her ability to stand up at all.

The knight's Nen ability is a manipulation-type Nen ability that allows him to [carry the fate of others].

Control is achieved by inserting Antenna into the other party; the controller is a mobile phone in hand.

Now, those two Antenna, stuck in his head, emanate Resentment and control his corpse.

"With a whoosh, he stood up like a puppet, and the seemingly powerless Shalnark vanished from his spot in an instant."

Extreme speed!

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the two, its powerless arm lashing out like a whip.

A sound like firecrackers went off in the air.

Shalnark reacted quickly and grabbed the Vacuum Cleaner to block the attack.

However, under the control of Resentment, the Shalnark's power expanded to an unknown extent.

"Um!"

The Shalnark cried out in pain.

This attack sent the Shalnark droplet flying.

With his other arm extended into a palm, he chopped down at Pairo.

Pairo was not in good condition at this time.

In the state of [Fiery Red Eye], in addition to shortening lifespan, excessive use will also consume a large amount of stamina and Nen.

The battle just now cost Pairo more than a year of his lifespan, and he is currently in a very low state.

Faced with the attack from the Resentment Shalnark, he could only try his best to raise his arms to block.

"Bang!"

A Nen Beast burst in through a hole in the window next to it, and with a flying kick, it struck the Resentment Shalnark, sending him flying.

Another Nen Beast, which entered from another cave, immediately followed up, delivering a downward kick that slammed the Resentment Shalnark violently to the floor.

With a roar, a large amount of smoke and dust was kicked up.

However, the two Maid Nen Beasts were unaffected and charged into the smoke and dust together, as the sounds of battle rang out.

A battle between three inhuman beings.

Simple, efficient, and silent.

Shalnark, who had been kicked away, ran to Pairo and helped him up.

Are you alright?

Pairo looked at Shalnark, observing her condition, and asked.

Shalnark shook her head; aside from being a little disheveled, she was alright after being trapped inside the wall by Rui.

The two seemed quite relaxed, showing no signs of the lingering effects of the close call they had just experienced.

After all, seeing the two maids rush in instantly gave them a sense of security.

After all, these two maids are Melusina's Nen Beast.

After Melusina rose to become the second strongest fighter in the Nosra Manor, she also pulled far ahead of the others.

As the smoke and dust dissipated.

Two Maid Nen Beast could be seen controlling the Shalnark's upper and lower body, pinning him firmly to the ground. No matter how frantically the Resentment Shalnark struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

"Kevin told you before the operation that we either capture them alive or kill them decisively. Torturing them for revenge could easily cause problems."

Melusina's voice came from the side.

The two looked over.

Melusina jumped up from the windowsill next to her, walked in, and said with a somewhat helpless expression.

Pairo, pale-faced, pursed his lips and did not answer, only silently enduring the pain.

"Try to think about the people around you too."

This sentence is like an arrow.

Melusina sighed and went directly to the side of the Resentment Shalnark.

He started rummaging through his fanny pack.

"Let me see, Kevin should have been prepared."

She kept muttering to herself, and finally pulled out a vial of medicine.

"Ah, found it."

[Evil Binding Potion]

As the name suggests, this is a potion specifically created to bind Resentment.

Its application is actually very narrow; it can only be considered Kevin's experimental work, and there are only a few of them in total.

Similarly, there is a potion called [Evil Dispelling Potion].

However, this potion isn't very effective. It's relatively easy to use the potion to restrain evil thoughts, and the restraint only lasts for the duration of the potion's effects.

However, eliminating evil thoughts is difficult, and the strength of the medicine must be determined based on the level of the evil thoughts.

Resentment can be generated by an ordinary Nen user, provided the death is extreme enough.

Besides being related to the deceased who harbor Resentment, it is also related to their emotions.

Therefore, the Resentment generated by an ordinary Nen user can often be difficult to deal with.

Kevin originally developed this drug to be used as a mind-removing agent, but he was being somewhat naive; it wasn't that simple.

However, Kevin had anticipated this beforehand, so he brought a few with him and gave them to Melusina.

Melusina's task was to form a large circle with the four Maid Nen Beasts and himself, thus surrounding the entire ruins.

Working together with Biscuit and the others in the sky, they avoid accidents and prevent the enemy from escaping.

Melusina took out the potion, uncorked it, and poured the liquid onto the Resentment Shalnark.

As the liquid interacted with the Resentment on the Shalnark's body, the Resentment seemed to be stimulated and began to gush out wildly.

In an instant, a chill began to spread throughout the surroundings.

Of course, this was meaningless; the poured-out liquid formed an invisible constraint, firmly binding the Resentment Shalnark to his body.

Even though no one was binding him like a rope, he acted as if he were.

"Okay, this should work, right?"

Melusina wasn't sure either, so she controlled the two Nen Beasts to release the Resentment Shalnark.

Sure enough, the Resentment Shalnark struggled on the spot, rolling around like a bound rice dumpling, but could not break free of his restraints.

With a satisfied clap, Melusina turned to look at Pairo and the other man.

"Everything else is pretty much done. Let's go meet up with Kevin."

The two nodded.

Melusina, controlling the two maids, grabbed the Resentment Shalnark and leaped outside.

The bodies of the other two were also taken away.

They made their way back to the ruined building in the center.

When Pairo and his companions entered.

Kurapika, who arrived first, rushed over and looked at the somewhat weak Pairo.

He could tell at a glance that this weakness was not caused by prolonged fighting, but by the overuse of Nen ability.

If someone overuses their Nen ability, then there's only one possibility.

"How long have you been taking?"

"More than a year."

Upon hearing this consumption figure, Kurapika opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Pairo, however, paid no attention to these things and instead looked in other directions.

He saw the several bound figures beside Gowen.

"You didn't kill them?"

The voice wasn't surprised.

Kurapika shook his head.

If the situation is hopeless, he will certainly kill, but if he can capture them alive, he will restrain them and bring them back.

Judging from his Nen ability, it's clear that it's not lethal.

Although he knew these people would certainly not escape death and would inevitably pay the price for their sins.

Pairo let out a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.

Kurapika is like that; he won't kill unless absolutely necessary.

Kurapika then looked at the two mummified corpses they had brought over, as well as the bound corpse that exuded a chilling Resentment.

As expected, but Kurapika won't say anything; killing these people is no problem at all.

As members of the Kurta Clan, they had every reason to kill the Phantom Troupe.

No one can blame them.

Kevin stood up and looked at the Phantom Troupe members, who were all present except for the Chrollo.

The two in the best condition were Machi and Phinks, who were defeated and captured by Kurapika.

Aside from some injuries, he was simply bound.

Slightly worse off are Nobunaga, who is still seriously injured and unconscious, and Burolo Lev.

Next was Pakunoda, whose limbs were broken but who was still conscious.

The worst off were the three who encountered Pairo; they had become three corpses, two of which were mummies, and the other was merely filled with Resentment.

I'm going to kill you all!

After seeing the horrific state of their companion, Phinks, Machi, and the other two roared at the crowd.

Even Uvogin, whose body was so badly damaged that not a single piece of flesh remained and who could no longer make a normal sound, roared something in a hoarse Uvogin.

Kevin turned to look at the three of them.

Ignoring them, he looked at Pairo instead.

"I don't object to your actions, but as I told you before, if revenge can't protect yourself, then what's the point of revenge?"

"Perhaps from your own perspective, even sacrificing yourself for revenge would be an acceptable outcome, but from our perspective, this is an outcome we cannot accept."

"This is a failure for us, and such an outcome is absolutely unacceptable. Your people's eyes are still filled with Resentment, waiting for you to bring them peace."

Upon hearing this, Pairo suddenly realized what was happening.

Yes, he hasn't yet kept his promise to retrieve his people's eyes and give them a peaceful Funeral.

The eyes of the tribesmen, still filled with Resentment, were soaked in liquid for the villains to see.

"Have you come to your senses a little better now? You did nothing wrong. The sins they committed against you are so great that even if you tore them to pieces and mince them into mincemeat, it would be justified."

"But the premise for doing so is to ensure one's own safety, and to ensure that these villains will not drag someone down with them at the last moment, which will only make them laugh even more arrogantly, even if they fall into hell."

"These people are extreme villains. Before you do what you want to do, you have to consider the possibility of them harboring Resentment after death, especially if you're going to torture them."

Kevin's only complaint was that he had already informed Pairo and the others before the operation began.

He wouldn't stop someone from torturing another to vent their hatred, but only once, and if they wanted to torture someone, they had to be captured alive.

We cannot torture or kill the enemy in battle. Doing so could very well unleash the Resentment of these crazed villains and create danger.

This is a highly probable outcome.

The more extreme, powerful, and easily out-of-control a Specialization becomes.

An unusual or extreme personality can easily turn into Resentment after encountering certain situations.

The stronger the Nen ability and the more extreme the personality, the more likely they are to develop Resentment after death following certain events. This is why Resentment is generally so powerful.

Because a normal Nen user will not develop Resentment unless they have suffered layer upon layer of torment and fallen into the Abyss of madness.

He himself is very qualified to speak on this point.

The original owner of this body was never a normal person from the beginning.

Having such Specialization Type of Nen ability, and being Initiation, is enough to show how much he enjoys the process of turning materials into potions.

After being killed by Jin, he harbored Resentment due to fear and lingering attachment.

Kevin's conclusions from digging into fragmented memories are as follows.

What he feared was that after death, he would no longer be able to experience the joy of making potions and the satisfaction of their completion.

What I cherish most is this kind of happiness.

It is this excessively extreme emotion, this emotion that transcends death, that gives rise to Resentment.

What normal person would have such emotions?

The Phantom Troupe can be described as entirely composed of villains. Their origins in Meteor City have instilled in them a dog-eat-dog mentality and inhuman ideologies.

This can actually be seen in Shalnark's own experience.

Therefore, if the members of the Phantom Troupe are killed directly, the likelihood of them harboring Resentment is very small.

However, if they are tortured and forced to witness their companions die a painful and tragic death, the likelihood of them developing Resentment increases significantly.

This conclusion was reached by Kevin after confirming from Hisoka that some members had very close relationships with each other.

The main focus is actually on those Phantom Troupe who have extreme personalities.

For example, Feitan, which is why Kevin personally took charge.

Unexpectedly, it was the Shalnark who ended up like this first.

Although Kevin didn't witness Pairo's battle, it's likely that Pairo used his Nen ability to incite them to fight each other, ultimately leaving behind the Shalnark.

"You stay here and keep an eye on them. Talk to them if you want, there's not much time left."

"I'll go check on Hisoka."

With that, Kevin vanished in a flash.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Instead, Men Qi curiously approached the three who were still conscious.

"I'm a little curious. I thought you would be the kind of vicious, purely evil group that would betray and kill each other."

"But judging from your situation, it doesn't seem to be like that. Some of your members are very closely connected, so I'm a little curious why you formed such a criminal gang?"

"Is there any purpose or significance? Is it simply to act as a thug in Meteor City, to serve as their calling card?"

Judging from their appearance, it's clear they're not going to dutifully act as external representatives of Meteor City.

People who come from Meteor City have strange feelings about it.

However, when faced with Men Qi's question, the three only glared at him angrily, venting their murderous intent, without any intention of answering. Although the three were currently in a frenzy, they also clearly knew that they had failed.

After all, the opposing team looked to be in good shape, and they all seemed to be winning with fewer troops.

This means that the opponent's strength is greater than theirs. Even if they were in good condition, let alone now that they are in this state, they might not be a match for these people.

The only hope now is the Chrollo, but seeing that Kevin has just passed by, even though they have great faith in the Chrollo, they can only be pessimistic under these circumstances.

"You can ask their Chrollo about that later."

Kurapika had completely lost the desire to communicate with these people and spoke directly.

"Haha, do you think you can capture Chrollo alive? You know nothing about his strength."

Pakunoda, a staunch believer in Chrollo, roared in anguish.

Then they saw the barely suppressed laughter on everyone's faces.

Even Pairo, who always had a cold expression, let out a sneer upon hearing this.

Then they noticed the unnatural look on Feitan's face.

Phinks calmed down a bit and looked at Feitan, asking the question he had always wanted to know.

"Shouldn't your sun have already been successfully activated?"

This was a question that had been puzzling him for a long time.

They witnessed the "sun" rising into the sky when they were being transferred.

How come there's not a sound at all?

Feitan opened his mouth, but in the end, he still told the story of what happened.

Kurapika and the others standing nearby also pricked up their ears to listen.
